8.3.5.1.1 Test Purpose (TP)

(1)

with { UE in E-UTRA RRC_CONNECTED state without SRB4 setup and it is not configured to provide measurement report for QoE}

ensure that {

when { UE is caused to send MeasReportAppLayer message }

then { the UE does not transmit a MeasReportQoE message }

}

(2)

with { UE in E-UTRA RRC_CONNECTED state without SRB4 setup and it is configured to provide measurement report for QoE}

ensure that {

when { UE is caused to send MeasReportAppLayer message }

then { the UE does not transmit a MeasReportAppLayer message }

}

(3)

with { UE in E-UTRA RRC_CONNECTED state with SRB4 setup and it is configured to provide measurement report for QoE }

ensure that {

when { UE is caused to send MeasReportAppLayer message }

then { the UE does transmit a MeasReportAppLayer message with measReportAppLayerContainer set to the value of the measurement report information of QoE from the upper layer}

}

(4)

with { UE in E-UTRA RRC_CONNECTED state and it is configured to provide measurement report for QoE}

ensure that {

when { UE receives an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message containing a otherConfig that includes the MeasReportAppLayer set to Release }

then { the UE does not transmit any more MeasReportQoE message }

8.3.5.1.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the current TC is specified in: TS 36.331, clauses 5.3.10.9, 5.6.19, and 6.3.6. Unless otherwise stated these are Rel-15 requirements.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.3.10.9]

The UE shall:

…

1> if the received otherConfig includes the measConfigAppLayer:

2> if measConfigAppLayer is set to setup:

3> forward measConfigAppLayerContainer to upper layers considering the serviceType;

3> consider itself to be configured to send application layer measurement report in accordance with 5.6.19;

2> else:

3> inform upper layers to clear the stored application layer measurement configuration;

3> discard received application layer measurement report information from upper layers;

3> consider itself not to be configured to send application layer measurement report.

TS 36.331, clause 5.6.19

5.6.19.1 General

Figure 5.6.19.1-1: Application layer measurement reporting

The purpose of this procedure is to inform E-UTRAN about application layer measurement report.

5.6.19.2 Initiation

A UE capable of application layer measurement reporting in RRC_CONNECTED may initiate the procedure when configured with application layer measurement, i.e. when measConfigAppLayer has been configured by E-UTRAN.

Upon initiating the procedure, the UE shall:

1> if configured with application layer measurement, and SRB4 is configured, and the UE has received application layer measurement report information from upper layers:

2> set the measReportAppLayerContainer in the MeasReportAppLayer message to the value of the application layer measurement report information;

2> submit the MeasReportAppLayer message to lower layers for transmission via SRB4.
