4.5 Generic procedures

36.5083GPPCommon test environments for User Equipment (UE) conformance testingEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) and Evolved Packet Core (EPC)Release 17TS

This clause describes UE test states which can be used in the initial condition of many test cases defined in TS 36.521-1 [21], TS 36.523-1 [18] and TS 36.523-3 [34] or other procedures defined in this specification. This section also defines a set of procedures to bring the UE into these states.

4.5.1 UE test states

NOTE: The need to have a procedure for the transition from State 4/State 3 to State 2 is for further study and it can added if the technical motivation for this procedure can be justified.

Figure 4.5.1-1: E-UTRAN UE Test States for Basic Generic Procedures

Figure 4.5.1-2: E-UTRAN UE Test States for CIoT

NOTE: Transition to state 5 is performed only when Test Loop Mode E is required to be performed when UE is out of coverage.

In order that the UE can set up a call or session in E-UTRAN, there are a number of procedures to be undertaken in a hierachical sequence to move between known states. The sequences are shown in figure 4.5.1-1 and the status of the relevant protocols in the UE in the different states are given in table 4.5.1-1.

Figure 4.5.1-2: HRPD UE Test States for Basic Generic Procedures

In order for the UE to set up a session in an HRPD RAN, there are a number of procedures that need to be performed in a certain sequence to move between known UE states. These states and sequences are shown in figure 4.5.1-2. HRPD UE states are described in table 4.5.1-2.

Table 4.5.1-2: Description of HRPD UE states

State

Description

H2

The UE is registered on the HRPD network, but has no active connection to the network. The Inter-RAT Idle State Protocol (IR-ISP) is in Monitor State. The UE should be ready to perform a non-optimised cell reselection to E-UTRAN (as per [41] cl. 8 and [42] cl. 14.1).

H3

The UE is registered on the HRPD network, and has an active network connection. The UE should be ready to perform a non-optimised handover to E-UTRAN (as per [41] cl. 8).

H2A

Same state as State H2, but the UE is also pre-registered in E-UTRAN. The UE should be ready to perform an optimised cell reselection to E-UTRAN (as per [41] cl. 9.6).

H3A

Same state as State H3, but the UE is also pre-registered in E-UTRAN. The UE should be ready to perform an optimised handover to E-UTRAN (as per [41] cl. 9.5).

4.5.2 UE Registration (State 2)

4.5.2.0 General

IF pc_ue_CategoryDL_M1 THEN use the procedure for State 2-CE according to clause 4.5.2AA ELSE use the procedure defined in the present clause.

NOTE: The statement to use alternate procedure for CAT M1 UE (pc_ue_CategoryDL_M1 is set) is to enable LTE legacy protocol test cases to be used for CAT M1 UE testing. Any CAT M1 or CE specific test cases should not rely on this statement, but refer directly to the relevant CE specific state.

UE Registration depends on the specific configuration of a UE, which is expressed by PICS according to TS 36.523-2 [19]. In order to reduce complexity and to achieve testability several assumptions and definitions are made:

– An IMS capable UE is compliant to GSMA PRD IR.92 [52];

– During initial UE registration the UE requests for one or two PDN connectivities;

– When the UE requests for two PDN connectivities:

– it re-uses the existing RRC connection for signalling regarding the 2nd PDN connectivity;

– one of the PDN connectivities is for IMS;

– If the UE is configured with an APN for XCAP only usage (pc_XCAP_only_APN==true), connectivity to this PDN is not established during the initial UE registration;

– As for any 2nd PDN connectivity request security protection is already established the UE provides a valid APN in the PDN CONNECTIVITY REQUEST.

In detail the following UE configurations are supported:

Configuration

Condition

Explanation

IMS_Only

pc_IMS AND NOT pc_Provide_Internet_as_second_APN AND NOT pc_Provide_IMS_as_second_APN

UE is configured to request for IMS PDN connectivity only

Internet_Only

NOT pc_IMS

UE does not support IMS

IMS_Internet

pc_IMS AND pc_Provide_Internet_as_second_APN

Internet_IMS

pc_IMS AND pc_Provide_IMS_as_second_APN

UE is configured to request for an internet PDN connectivity first and then to request for the IMS PDN connectivity

NOTE 1: pc_Provide_Internet_as_second_APN and pc_Provide_IMS_as_second_APN are mutually exclusive i.e. shall not be true at the same time.

NOTE 2: IMS_Only configuration is not considered for EN-DC test cases defined in TS 38.523-1 [71]
