Note 1: The SS is configured for RRC procedure delay testing according to TS 36.523-3 clause 7.12.1. Note 2: 5 (FDD) / 8 (TDD) subframes is added on top of RRC processing delay requirement, because UL grant is allocated for the next subframe after RRC procedure delay and because of transmission delay after UL grant. For TDD, consider the max 7 TTI transmission delay after UL grant.

with { UE in E-UTRA RRC_CONNECTED state with SCell(s) configured }

ensure that {

when { UE receives an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message including sCellToReleaseList and sCellToAddModList with the same concerned SCell to release and add, and with the change of the relevant system information of the configured SCell }

then { UE first releases the concerned SCell and then adds the concerned SCell, configures lower layers to consider the concerned SCell to be in deactivated state and sends an RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message }

}

8.2.2.4.1.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the current TC is specified in: TS 36.331, clauses 5.2.1.1, clauses 5.3.5.3, 5.3.10.3a and 5.3.10.3b.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.2.1.1]

The UE applies the system information acquisition and change monitoring procedures for the PCell only. For an SCell, E-UTRAN provides, via dedicated signalling, all system information relevant for operation in RRC_CONNECTED when adding the SCell. Upon change of the relevant system information of a configured SCell, E-UTRAN releases and subsequently adds the concerned SCell, which may be done with a single RRCConnectionReconfiguration message.

NOTE 2: E-UTRAN may configure via dedicated signalling different parameter values than the ones broadcast in the concerned SCell.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.3.5.3]

If the RRCConnectionReconfiguration message does not include the mobilityControlInfo and the UE is able to comply with the configuration included in this message, the UE shall:

…

1> if the received RRCConnectionReconfiguration includes the sCellToReleaseList:

2> perform SCell release as specified in 5.3.10.3a;

1> if the received RRCConnectionReconfiguration includes the sCellToAddModList:

2> perform SCell addition or modification as specified in 5.3.10.3b;

…

1> submit the RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message to lower layers for transmission using the new configuration, upon which the procedure ends;

[TS 36.331, clause 5.3.10.3a]

The UE shall:

1> if the release is triggered by reception of the sCellToReleaseList:

2> for each sCellIndex value included in the sCellToReleaseList:

3> if the current UE configuration includes an SCell with value sCellIndex:

4> release the SCell;

1> if the release is triggered by RRC connection re-establishment:

2> release all SCells that are part of the current UE configuration;

[TS 36.331, clause 5.3.10.3b]

The UE shall:

1> for each sCellIndex value included in the sCellToAddModList that is not part of the current UE configuration (SCell addition):

2> add the SCell, corresponding to the cellIdentification, in accordance with the received radioResourceConfigCommonSCell and radioResourceConfigDedicatedSCell;

2> configure lower layers to consider the SCell to be in deactivated state;

1> for each sCellIndex value included in the sCellToAddModList that is part of the current UE configuration (SCell modification):

2> modify the SCell configuration in accordance with the received radioResourceConfigDedicatedSCell;

2> modify the SCell configuration in accordance with the radioResourceConfigDedicatedSCell, included either in the sCellToAddModList or in the sCellToAddModListSCG;

[TS 36.213, clause 8.2]

A UE shall transmit Sounding Reference Symbol (SRS) on per serving cell SRS resources based on two trigger types:

– trigger type 0: higher layer signalling

– trigger type 1: DCI formats 0/0A/0B/4/4A/4B/1A/6-0A/6-1A for FDD, TDD, and frame structure type 3 and DCI formats 2B/2C/2D/3B for TDD, and frame structure type 3.

…

A UE may be configured with SRS parameters for trigger type 0 and trigger type 1 on each serving cell. A BL/CE UE configured with CEModeB is not expected to be configured with SRS parameters for trigger type 0 and trigger type 1. The following SRS parameters are serving cell specific and semi-statically configurable by higher layers for trigger type 0 and for trigger type 1.

– Number of combs as defined in Subclause 5.5.3.2 of [3] for trigger type 0 and each configuration of trigger type 1, if configured

– srs-UpPtsAdd: two or four additional SC-FDMA symbols in UpPTS as defined in [11] for trigger type 0 and trigger type 1, if configured

– Transmission comb , as defined in Subclause 5.5.3.2 of [3] for trigger type 0 and each configuration of trigger type 1

– Starting physical resource block assignment , as defined in Subclause 5.5.3.2 of [3] for trigger type 0 and each configuration of trigger type 1 for a serving cell that is not a LAA SCell. For a serving cell that is a LAA SCell, .

– duration: single or indefinite (until disabled), as defined in [11] for trigger type 0

– srs-ConfigIndex I_SRS for SRS periodicity and SRS subframe offset , as defined in Table 8.2-1 and Table 8.2-2 for trigger type 0 and SRS periodicity and SRS subframe offset , as defined in Table 8.2-4 and Table 8.2-5 trigger type 1 for a serving cell that is not a LAA SCell

– SRS bandwidth , as defined in Subclause 5.5.3.2 of [3] for trigger type 0 and each configuration of trigger type 1 for a serving cell that is not a LAA SCell. For a serving cell that is a LAA SCell, .

– Frequency hopping bandwidth, , as defined in Subclause 5.5.3.2 of [3] for trigger type 0

– Cyclic shift , as defined in Subclause 5.5.3.1 of [3] for trigger type 0 and each configuration of trigger type 1

– Number of antenna ports for trigger type 0 and each configuration of trigger type 1

– SRS subframe for each configuration of trigger type 1 for a serving cell that is a LAA SCell and DCI format 4B

For a TDD serving cell,

– If the serving cell not configured for PUSCH/PUCCH transmission, or if the UE supports ce-srsEnhancement-r14

…

For a TDD serving cell not configured for PUSCH/PUCCH transmission, and trigger type 1, a SRS request field [4] shall be included in DCI format 3B if the value of the higher layer parameter fieldTypeFormat3B is set to 3 or 4. If the UE is configured with more than 5 TDD serving cells without PUSCH/PUCCH transmission, a single SRS request field is included in DCI format 3B for a set of the TDD serving cells without PUSCH/PUCCH transmission as given in Table 8.2-0C; otherwise one or more SRS request fields is included in DCI format 3B each corresponding to a TDD serving cell without PUSCH/PUCCH transmission as configured by higher layers. If the UE is configured with no more than 5 TDD serving cells without PUSCH/PUCCH transmission, and the UE does not support transmit antenna selection or multi-antenna transmission, the SRS request field [4] in DCI format 3B is 1-bit, 2-bits otherwise. For the 1-bit SRS request field [4] in DCI format 3B, a type 1 SRS is triggered if the value of the SRS request field is set to ‘1’ with SRS parameters, srs-ConfigApDCI-Format1a2b2c, configured by higher layer signalling. For the 2-bit SRS request field [4] in DCI format 3B, and UE configured with no more than 5 TDD serving cells without PUSCH/PUCCH transmission, the SRS request field indicates the SRS parameter set given in Table 8.1-1 with the three sets of SRS parameters, srs-ConfigApDCI-Format4, configured by higher layer signalling. For the 2-bit SRS request field [4] in Table 8.2-0C and DCI format 3B, and UE configured with more than 5 TDD serving cells without PUSCH/PUCCH transmission, SRS parameters, srs-ConfigApDCI-Format1a2b2c, configured by higher layer signalling for the associated serving cell, is used if a type 1 SRS is triggered.
