8.3.2.1.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 36.331, clause 5.5.4.1, 5.5.4.8 and 5.5.5.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.5.4.1]

The UE shall:

1> for each measId included in the measIdList within VarMeasConfig:

…

2> else:

…

3> else if the corresponding measObject concerns GERAN:

4> consider a neighbouring cell on the associated set of frequencies to be applicable when the concerned cell matches the ncc-Permitted defined within the VarMeasConfig for this measId;

2> if the triggerType is set to ‘event’ and if the entry condition applicable for this event, i.e. the event corresponding with the eventId of the corresponding reportConfig within VarMeasConfig, is fulfilled for one or more applicable cells for all measurements after layer 3 filtering taken during timeToTrigger defined for this event within the VarMeasConfig, while the VarMeasReportList does not include an measurement reporting entry for this measId (a first cell triggers the event):

3> include a measurement reporting entry within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> set the numberOfReportsSent defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId to 0;

3> include the concerned cell(s) in the cellsTriggeredList defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> initiate the measurement reporting procedure, as specified in 5.5.5;

2> if the triggerType is set to ‘event’ and if the entry condition applicable for this event, i.e. the event corresponding with the eventId of the corresponding reportConfig within VarMeasConfig, is fulfilled for one or more applicable cells not included in the cellsTriggeredList for all measurements after layer 3 filtering taken during timeToTrigger defined for this event within the VarMeasConfig (a subsequent cell triggers the event):

3> set the numberOfReportsSent defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId to 0;

3> include the concerned cell(s) in the cellsTriggeredList defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> initiate the measurement reporting procedure, as specified in 5.5.5;

2> if the triggerType is set to ‘event’ and if the leaving condition applicable for this event is fulfilled for one or more of the cells included in the cellsTriggeredList defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId for all measurements after layer 3 filtering taken during timeToTrigger defined within the VarMeasConfig for this event:

3> remove the concerned cell(s) in the cellsTriggeredList defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> if reportOnLeave is set to TRUE for the corresponding reporting configuration:

4> initiate the measurement reporting procedure, as specified in 5.5.5;

3> if the cellsTriggeredList defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId is empty:

4> remove the measurement reporting entry within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

4> stop the periodical reporting timer for this measId, if running;

2> if the purpose is included and set to ‘reportStrongestCells’ or to ‘reportStrongestCellsForSON’ and if a (first) measurement result is available for one or more applicable cells:

3> include a measurement reporting entry within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> set the numberOfReportsSent defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId to 0;

3> initiate the measurement reporting procedure, as specified in 5.5.5;

NOTE 1: If the purpose is set to ‘reportStrongestCells’, the UE initiates a first measurement report immediately after the quantity to be reported becomes available for at least either serving cell or one of the applicable cells. If the purpose is set to ‘reportStrongestCellsForSON’, the UE initiates a first measurement report when it has determined the strongest cells on the associated frequency.

2> upon expiry of the periodical reporting timer for this measId:

3> initiate the measurement reporting procedure, as specified in 5.5.5;

…

NOTE 2: The UE does not stop the periodical reporting with triggerType set to ‘event’ or to ‘periodical’ while the corresponding measurement is not performed due to the serving cell RSRP being equal to or better than s-Measure or due to the measurement gap not being setup.

NOTE 3: If the UE is configured with DRX, the UE may delay the measurement reporting for event triggered and periodical triggered measurements until the Active Time, which is defined in TS 36.321 [6].

[TS 36.331, clause 5.5.4.8]

The UE shall:

1> for UTRA and CDMA2000, only trigger the event for cells included in the corresponding measurement object;

1> consider the entering condition for this event to be satisfied when both condition B2-1 and condition B2-2, as specified below, are fulfilled;

1> consider the leaving condition for this event to be satisfied when condition B2-3 or condition B2-4, i.e. at least one of the two, as specified below, is fulfilled;

Inequality B2-1 (Entering condition 1)

Inequality B2-2 (Entering condition 2)

Inequality B2-3 (Leaving condition 1)

Inequality B2-4 (Leaving condition 2)

The variables in the formula are defined as follows:

Ms is the measurement result of the serving cell, not taking into account any offsets.

Mn is the measurement result of the inter-RAT neighbour cell, not taking into account any offsets.

Ofn is the frequency specific offset of the frequency of the inter-RAT neighbour cell (i.e. offsetFreq as defined within the measObject corresponding to the frequency of the inter-RAT neighbour cell).

Hys is the hysteresis parameter for this event (i.e. hysteresis as defined within reportConfigInterRAT for this event).

Thresh1 is the threshold parameter for this event (i.e. b2-Threshold1 as defined within reportConfigInterRAT for this event).

Thresh2 is the threshold parameter for this event (i.e. b2-Threshold2 as defined within reportConfigInterRAT for this event).

Ms is expressed in dBm in case of RSRP, or in dB in case of RSRQ.

Mn is expressed in dBm or dB, depending on the measurement quantity of the inter-RAT neighbour cell.

Ofn, Hys are expressed in dB.

Thresh1 is expressed in the same unit as Ms.

Thresh2 is expressed in the same unit as Mn.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.5.5]

For the measId for which the measurement reporting procedure was triggered, the UE shall set the measResults within the MeasurementReport message as follows:

1> set the measId to the measurement identity that triggered the measurement reporting;

1> set the measResultServCell to include the quantities of serving cell;

1> if there is at least one applicable neighbouring cell to report:

2> set the measResultsNeighCells to include the best neighbouring cells up to maxReportCells in accordance with the following:

3> if the triggerType is set to ‘event’:

4> include the cells included in the cellsTriggeredList as defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> else:

4> include the applicable cells for which the new measurement results became available since the last periodical reporting or since the measurement was initiated or reset;

NOTE: The reliability of the report (i.e. the certainty it contains the strongest cells on the concerned frequency) depends on the measurement configuration i.e. the reportInterval. The related performance requirements are specified in TS 36.133 [16].

3> for each cell that is included in the measResultsNeighCells, include the physCellId;

3> if the triggerType is set to ‘event’; or the purpose is set to ‘reportStrongestCells’ or to ‘reportStrongestCellsForSON’:

4> for each included cell, include the layer 3 filtered measured results in accordance with the reportConfig for this measId, ordered as follows:

5> if the measObject associated with this measId concerns E-UTRA:

6> set the measResult to include the quantity(ies) indicated in the reportQuantity within the concerned reportConfig in order of decreasing triggerQuantity, i.e. the best cell is included first;

5> else:

6> set the measResult to the quantity as configured for the concerned RAT within the quantityConfig in order of decreasing quantity, i.e. the best cell is included first;

…

1> increment the numberOfReportsSent as defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId by 1;

1> stop the periodical reporting timer, if running;

1> if the numberOfReportsSent as defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId is less than the reportAmount as defined within the corresponding reportConfig for this measId:

2> start the periodical reporting timer with the value of reportInterval as defined within the corresponding reportConfig for this measId;

…

8.3.2.3.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 36.331, clause 5.5.4.1, 5.5.4.8 and 5.5.5.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.5.4.1]

The UE shall:

1> for each measId included in the measIdList within VarMeasConfig:

2> if the corresponding reportConfig includes a purpose set to ‘reportStrongestCellsForSON‘:

…

2> else:

3> if the corresponding measObject concerns E-UTRA:

…

3> else if the corresponding measObject concerns UTRA or CDMA2000:

4> consider a neighbouring cell on the associated frequency to be applicable when the concerned cell is included in the cellsToAddModList defined within the VarMeasConfig for this measId (i.e. the cell is included in the white-list);

3> else if the corresponding measObject concerns GERAN:

4> consider a neighbouring cell on the associated set of frequencies to be applicable when the concerned cell matches the ncc-Permitted defined within the for this measId;

2> if the triggerType is set to ‘event‘ and if the entry condition applicable for this event, i.e. the event corresponding with the eventId of the corresponding reportConfig within VarMeasConfig, is fulfilled for one or more applicable cells for all measurements after layer 3 filtering taken during timeToTrigger defined for this event within the VarMeasConfig, while the VarMeasReportList does not include an measurement reporting entry for this measId:(a first cell triggers the event)

3> include a measurement reporting entry within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> set the numberOfReportsSent defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId to 0;

3> include the concerned cell(s) in the cellsTriggeredList defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> initiate the measurement reporting procedure, as specified in 5.5.5;

2> if the triggerType is set to ‘event‘ and if the entry condition applicable for this event, i.e. the event corresponding with the eventId of the corresponding reportConfig within VarMeasConfig, is fulfilled for one or more applicable cells not included in the cellsTriggeredList for all measurements after layer 3 filtering taken during timeToTrigger defined for this event within the VarMeasConfig (a subsequent cell triggers the event):

…

2> if the triggerType is set to ‘event‘ and if the leaving condition applicable for this event is fulfilled for one or more of the cells included in the cellsTriggeredList defined within the VarMeasReportListfor this measId for all measurements after layer 3 filtering taken during timeToTrigger defined within the VarMeasConfigfor this event:

3> remove the concerned cell(s) in the cellsTriggeredList defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> if reportOnLeave is set to TRUE for the corresponding reporting configuration:

4> initiate the measurement reporting procedure, as specified in 5.5.5;

3> if the cellsTriggeredList defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId is empty:

4> remove the measurement reporting entry within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

4> stop the periodical reporting timer for this measId, if running;

2> if the purpose is included and set to ‘reportStrongestCells‘ or to ‘reportStrongestCellsForSON‘ and if a (first) measurement result is available for one or more applicable cells:

3> include a measurement reporting entry within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> set the numberOfReportsSent defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId to 0;

3> initiate the measurement reporting procedure, as specified in 5.5.5;

NOTE 1: If the purpose is set to ‘reportStrongestCells‘, the UE initiates a first measurement report immediately after the quantity to be reported becomes available for at least either serving cell or one of the applicable cells. If the purpose is set to ‘reportStrongestCellsForSON‘, the UE initiates a first measurement report when it has determined the strongest cells on the associated frequency.

2> upon expiry of the periodical reporting timer for this measId:

3> initiate the measurement reporting procedure, as specified in 5.5.5;

2> if the purpose is included and set to ‘reportCGI‘ and if the UE acquired the information needed to set all fields of cellGlobalId for the requested cell:

3> include a measurement reporting entry within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> set the numberOfReportsSent defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId to 0;

3> stop timer T321;

3> initiate the measurement reporting procedure, as specified in 5.5.5;

2> upon expiry of the T321 for this measId:

3> include a measurement reporting entry within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> set the numberOfReportsSent defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId to 0;

3> initiate the measurement reporting procedure, as specified in 5.5.5;

NOTE 2: The UE does not stop the periodical reporting with triggerType set to ‘event‘ or to ‘periodical‘ while the corresponding measurement is not performed due to the serving cell RSRP being equal to or better than s-Measure or due to the measurement gap not being setup.

…

[TS 36.331, clause 5.5.4.8]

The UE shall:

1> for UTRA and CDMA2000, only trigger the event for cells included in the corresponding measurement object;

1> consider the entering condition for this event to be satisfied when both condition B2-1 and condition B2-2, as specified below, are fulfilled;

1> consider the leaving condition for this event to be satisfied when condition B2-3 or condition B2-4, i.e. at least one of the two, as specified below, is fulfilled;

Inequality B2-1 (Entering condition 1)

Inequality B2-2 (Entering condition 2)

Inequality B2-3 (Leaving condition 1)

Inequality B2-4 (Leaving condition 2)

The variables in the formula are defined as follows:

Ms is the measurement result of the serving cell, not taking into account any offsets.

Mn is the measurement result of the inter-RAT neighbour cell, not taking into account any offsets.

Hys is the hysteresis parameter for this event (i.e. hysteresis as defined within reportConfigInterRAT for this event)

Thresh1 is the threshold parameter for this event (i.e. b2-Threshold1 as defined within reportConfigInterRAT for this event)

Thresh2 is the threshold parameter for this event (i.e. b2-Threshold2 as defined within reportConfigInterRAT for this event)

Ms is expressed in dBm in case of RSRP, or in dB in case of RSRQ

Mn is expressed in dBm or dB, depending on the measurement quantity of the inter-RAT neighbour cell

Ofn, Hys are expressed in dB

Thresh1 is expressed in the same unit as Ms

Thresh2 is expressed in the same unit as Mn

[TS 36.331, clause 5.5.5]

The purpose of this procedure is to transfer measurement results from the UE to E-UTRAN.

For the measId for which the measurement reporting procedure was triggered, the UE shall set the measResults within the MeasurementReport message as follows:

1> set the measId to the measurement identity that triggered the measurement reporting;

1> set the measResultServCell to include the quantities of serving cell;

1> if there is at least one applicable neighbouring cell to report:

2> set the measResultNeighCells to include the best neighbouring cells up to maxReportCells in accordance with the following:

3> if the triggerType is set to ‘event‘:

4> include the cells included in the cellsTriggeredList as defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId

3> else:

4> include the applicable calls for which the new measurement results became available since the last periodical reporting or since the measurement was initiated or reset;

3> for each cell that is included in the measResultNeighCells include the physCellId;

3> if the triggerType is set to ‘event‘; or the purpose is set to ‘reportStrongestCells‘ or to ‘reportStrongestCellsForSON‘:

4> for each included cell include the layer 3 filtered measured results in accordance with the reportConfig for this measId, ordered as follows:

5> if the measObject associated with this measId concerns E-UTRA:

…

5> else:

6> set the measResult to the quantity as configured for the concerned RAT within the quantityConfig in order of decreasing quantity, i.e. the best cell is included first;

…

1> increment the numberOfReportsSent as defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId by 1;

1> stop the periodical reporting timer, if running;

1> if the numberOfReportsSent as defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId is less than the reportAmount as defined within the corresponding reportConfig for this measId

2> start the periodical reporting timer with the value of reportInterval as defined within the corresponding reportConfig for this measId;

1> else:

2> if the triggerType is set to ‘periodical‘:

3> remove the entry within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

3> remove this measId from the measIdList within VarMeasConfig;

1> if the measured results are for CDMA2000 HRPD:

2> set the preRegistrationStatusHRPD to the UE’s CDMA2000 upper layer’s HRPD preRegistrationStatus;

1> if the measured results are for CDMA2000 1xRTT:

2> set the preRegistrationStatusHRPD to ‘FALSE‘;

1> submit the MeasurementReport message to lower layers for transmission, upon which the procedure ends;
