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 36.523-1 [18] in addition to the states already specified in clause 4.5 of this specification.

6.4.1 Initial UE states and setup procedures

6.4.1.1 Initial UE states and setup procedures

Figure 6.4.1.1-1: Initial UE states

In order that the UE can set up a call or session in E-UTRAN, there are a number of setup procedures to be undertaken in a hierarchical sequence to move between known states. The sequences are shown in figure 6.4.1.1-1 and the status of the relevant protocols in the UE in the different states are given in table 6.4.1.1-1. State 3 is defined in clause 4.5.1.

6.4.2 Test procedures

6.4.2.1 Introduction

This section defines test procedures which can be used within test procedure sequences for test steps where checking the UE state is needed.

For each test procedure,

– at the start of the test procedure,

– the System Simulator condition and the value of system information messages are the ones applicable in the test case referring to this test procedure, as they are after the execution of the test step immediately preceding the test step where the test procedure is used;

– the initial UE condition is one indicated in the test case referring to this procedure, as it is after the execution of the test step immediately preceding the test step where the test procedure is used.

– at the end of the test procedure,

– the System Simulator condition after the test procedure execution is complete is the same as before it is started (this should not be changed by the test procedure).

6.4.2.2 Test procedure to check RRC_IDLE state

This procedure aims at checking whether the UE is in RRC_IDLE on a certain cell of a test case or not.

6.4.3A Test case postambles

6.4.3A.1 Introduction

In order to make test cases perfectly reproducible, the UE under test is switched off after the test procedure sequence of a test case is complete. In order to make it possible to run a number of test cases without any manual operation, it is important that the SS can properly handle any possible signalling from the UE between the end of the test procedure sequence and until the UE is off.

After the last verdict of a test procedure sequence is assigned, it is necessary to:

– terminate any ongoing signalling procedure,

– switch off the UE.

Usually, this can be performed by completing necessary TAU/LAU/RAU procedures, completing any ongoing voice call (CS or IMS), and switching off the UE with a detach procedure.

6.4.3A.2 Reference end states

Test procedures in TS 36.523-1 may only partially terminate ongoing signalling procedures, provided they indicate a reference end state at the end of the test procedure sequence, so that a matching procedure in TS 36.523-3 can be executed to switch off the UE.

Reference end states definitions include the necessary pieces of information to predict UE behaviour during the postambles.

If any extra information was stored in the UE or the USIM due to the test procedure sequence, it should be removed explicitly by the test procedure sequence, before the UE can be left in a reference end state.

Table 6.4.3A.2-1: Reference end states

Name

Description

Optional information

E-UTRA idle (E1)

The UE:

– is camped on an E-UTRA cell, and RRC idle and

– is registered for non-EPS services and update status is updated (if CS fallback or SMS over SGs is supported) and

– has one or more default EPS bearer context are active, zero or more dedicated EPS bearer contexts are active.

The test case may indicate that the UE is not registered for non-EPS services, though the UE supports CS fallback or SMS over SGs.

Same as E-UTRA idle, except that:

– the UE is in manual PLMN selection mode

Same as for E-UTRA idle

UTRA idle (U1)

The UE is:

– camped on a UTRA cell, RRC idle and

– IMSI attached and update status is "updated" (if the UE supports CS domain) and

– GPRS attached, GPRS update state is "updated", and zero or one or several PDP context(s) with interactive or background QoS are active.

The test case may indicate that the UE is not IMSI attached though the UE supports CS domain

UTRA connected (U2)

Same as UTRA idle, except that:

– the UE is in CELL_DCH state and

– a RAB associated with the active PDP context is established.

The test case may indicate that the UE is not IMSI attached though the UE supports CS domain.

UTRA handover (U3)

The UE:

– was E-UTRA connected and

– has completed a handover to UMTS and

– hasn’t yet sent or received any NAS signalling on the target UTRAN cell.

Same as for UTRA connected

UTRA CS fallback (U4)

The UE:

– was E-UTRA idle or E-UTRA connected and

– has transmitted an EXTENDED SERVICE REQUEST message due to MO or MT CS fallback call and

– either the UE has completed a handover to UMTS or
the UE has been redirected to UMTS and has established the RRC connection to a UTRA cell, and the target UTRA cell has activated security and RABs for all previously active EPS bearer contexts were established and

– the UE hasn’t yet sent or received any NAS signalling on the target UTRAN cell

UTRA CS call (U5)

The UE was in UTRAN CS fallback and the UE has completed LAU/RAU procedure if necessary and has established a CS call or the UE was in E-UTRAN connected and the UE has completed LAU/RAU procedure if necessary and has performed a handover to UTRAN with SRVCC.

UTRA deregistered (U6)

– is IMSI attached (if CS domain is supported)

GERAN PS handover (G2)

The UE:

– was E-UTRA connected and

– has performed a PS handover procedure to a GERAN cell and

– hasn’t yet sent or received any NAS signalling on the target GERAN cell.

GERAN CS fallback (G3)

The UE:

– was E-UTRA idle or E-UTRA connected and

– has transmitted an EXTENDED SERVICE REQUEST message due to MO or MT CS fallback call and

– either the UE has completed a PS handover to GERAN or a CCO to GERAN or the UE has been redirected to GERAN and has entered dedicated mode, and if DTM is supported,

– the UE hasn’t yet sent or received any NAS signalling on the target GERAN cell

GERAN CS call (G4)

The UE was in GERAN CS fallback and the UE has established a CS call or the UE was in E-UTRAN connected and has performed a handover to GERAN with SRVCC.
