13.1.2a Call setup from E-UTRAN RRC_IDLE / CS fallback to UTRAN with redirection including System Information / MO call

36.523-13GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) and Evolved Packet Core (EPC)Part 1: Protocol conformance specificationRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification

13.1.2a.1 Test Purpose (TP)

(1)

with { UE in E-UTRA RRC_CONNECTED state }

ensure that {

when { UE receives an RRCConnectionRelease message with redirection to UTRAN including System Information }

then { UE uses the received System Information and UE sends an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message in the cell which belongs to the frequency indicated in RRCConnectionRelease message }

}

13.1.2a.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 24.301 clauses 5.6.1.1, TS 24.008, clause 4.5.1.1 and TS 25.331, clause 8.1.1.8.

[TS 24.301, clause 5.6.1.1]

The UE shall invoke the service request procedure when:

…

d) the UE in EMM-IDLE or EMM-CONNECTED mode is configured to use CS fallback and has a mobile originating CS fallback request from the upper layer;

[TS 24.008, clause 4.5.1.1]

In order to establish an MM connection, the mobile station proceeds as follows:

…

d) When the MS is IMSI attached for CS services via EMM combined procedures, as described in 3GPP TS 24.301 [120], and the MS is camping on an E-UTRAN cell, the MM sublayer requests EMM to initiate a service request procedure for CS fallback. The MM connection establishment is delayed until the MS changes to a GERAN or UTRAN cell.

If the MS enters a GERAN or UTRAN cell, then the MS shall initiate the MM connection establishment and send a CM SERVICE REQUEST message. If the MS determines that it is in a different location area than the stored location area, the MS shall first initiate a normal location updating procedure or a combined routing area update procedure, depending on Network Mode of Operation. If the location area of the current cell is not available, the MS may initiate a normal location updating procedure directly. The MM connection establishment is delayed until successful completion of the normal location updating or combined routing area update procedure. The MS may perform location area updating procedure instead of combined routing area update procedure in NMO I. If the normal location updating procedure is initiated, the MS shall indicate the "follow-on request pending" in the LOCATION UPDATING REQUEST message.

[TS 25.331, clause 8.1.1.8]

If the UE was redirected from a different RAT:

1> if the UE receives the System Information Container message corresponding to a cell, on which UE is camped after a cell selection procedure triggered by the redirection procedure:

2> the UE may store the System Information Container message into variable SYSTEM INFORMATION CONTAINER and use the stored master information block, scheduling blocks and system information blocks in the variable SYSTEM_INFORMATION_CONTAINER until the variable is cleared, and act as if this system information was scheduled on BCCH of this cell.

13.1.2a.3 Test description

13.1.2a.3.1 Pre-test conditions

Note 1: The trigger in step 1 is the same as in the generic procedure in 36.508 clause 6.4.3.5.

Note 2: A real network will initiate the security mode command procedure for the CS domain immediately after receiving the CM SERVICE REQUEST, but in this test case it was chosen to complete the procedure for PS domain first in order to avoid the possibility of a security mode command procedure running in parallel with another RRC procedure.
