21.3.3a.1 Test Purpose (TP)

(1)

with { UE in E-UTRAN RRC_Connected state AND on a cell broadcasting SIB15 and interested to receive a SC-PTM service }

ensure that {

when { SIB15 indicates that the SC-PTM service is available on a frequency of a neighbour cell on a different frequency band }

then { UE transmits a MBMSInterestIndication message indicating interest in SC-PTM reception on the frequency }

}

(2)

with { UE in E-UTRAN RRC_Connected state AND having transmitted a MBMSInterestIndication message indicating interest in SC-PTM reception on a frequency of a neighbour cell on a different frequency band }

ensure that {

when { 1s after the UE has transmitted the MBMSInterestIndication message the UE receives RRCConnectionReconfiguration message including a mobilityControlInfo indicating the E-UTRAN frequency of the inter-band neighbour cell }

then { UE performs inter-band handover and starts SC-PTM reception }

}
