13.1.5 Call setup from E-UTRAN RRC_CONNECTED / CS fallback to UTRAN with handover / 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

13.1.5.1 Test Purpose (TP)

(1)

with { UE in E-UTRA RRC_CONNECTED state having requested CS call setup }

ensure that {
when { UE receives a MobilityFromEUTRACommand message including a cs-FallbackIndicator set to ‘true and a targetRAT-Type set to ‘utra }

then { UE transmits a HANDOVER TO UTRAN COMPLETE message and continues the PS data service }

}

13.1.5.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 36.331, clause 5.4.3.3.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.4.3.3]

The UE shall be able to receive a MobilityFromEUTRACommand message and perform a cell change order to GERAN, even if no prior UE measurements have been performed on the target cell.

The UE shall:

1> stop timer T310, if running;

1> if the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message includes the purpose set to ‘handover‘:

2> if the targetRAT-Type is set to ‘utra‘ or ‘geran‘:

3> consider inter-RAT mobility as initiated towards the RAT indicated by the targetRAT-Type included in the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message;

3> forward the nas-SecurityParamFromEUTRA to the upper layers;

3> access the target cell indicated in the inter-RAT message in accordance with the specifications of the target RAT;

13.1.5.3.1 Pre-test conditions

System Simulator:

– Cell 1 and Cell 5.

– System information combination 4 as defined in TS 36.508 [18] clause 4.4.3.1 is used in E-UTRA cells.

Table 13.1.5.3.1-1 shows the cell power levels after the preamble.

Message

1

The SS transmits one IP packet to the UE on the DRB associated with the default EPS bearer context on Cell 1.

IP packet

2

The UE loops back the IP packet on the DRB associated with the default EPS bearer context on Cell 1.

3

Cause the UE to originate CS call. (see Note 1)

4

The UE transmits an ULInformationTransfer message on Cell 1.

This message includes an EXTENDED SERVICE REQUEST message.

ULInformationTransfer

4A

The SS transmits a UECapabilityEnquiry message to request UE radio access capability information for E-UTRA and UTRA.

<–

UECapabilityEnquiry

4B

The UE transmits a UECapabilityInformation message on Cell 1.

NOTE: The start-PS values received, should be used to configure ciphering on cell 5.

5

The SS transmits a MobilityFromEUTRACommand message on Cell 1.

6

Check: Does the result of the “CS fallback to UTRAN with Handover / MO call” generic procedure from 36.508 clause 6.4.3.7.6 indicate that the UE performs CS fallback to UTRAN with Handover / MO Call on Cell 5?
