8.6.6.1 Handover Failure logging / Reporting of Intra-frequency measurements

8.6.6.1.1 Test Purpose (TP)

(1)

with { UE in RRC_CONNECTED having performed the intra-frequency measurement and reported that the UE has handover failure information available }

ensure that {
when { UE receives the UEInformationRequest message containing rlf-ReportReq }

then { UE sends the UEInformationResponse message containing the measurement result for intra-frequency neighbour cell }

}

8.6.6.1.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 36.331, clause 5.3.5.6, 5.3.7.4, 5.3.7.5 and 5.6.5.3.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.3.5.6]

The UE shall:

1> if T304 expires (handover failure):

NOTE 1: Following T304 expiry any dedicated preamble, if provided within the rach-ConfigDedicated, is not available for use by the UE anymore.

2> revert back to the configuration used in the source PCell, excluding the configuration configured by the physicalConfigDedicated, the mac-MainConfig and the sps-Config;

2> store the following handover failure information in VarRLF-Report by setting its fields as follows:

3> clear the information included in VarRLF-Report, if any;

3> set the plmn-Identity to the RPLMN;

3> set the measResultLastServCell to include the RSRP and RSRQ, if available, of the PCell based on measurements collected up to the moment the UE detected handover failure;

3> set the measResultNeighCells to include the best measured cells, other than the PCell, ordered such that the best cell is listed first, and based on measurements collected up to the moment the UE detected handover failure, and set its fields as follows;

4> if the UE was configured to perform measurements for one or more EUTRA frequencies, include the measResultListEUTRA;

4> if the UE was configured to perform measurement reporting for one or more neighbouring UTRA frequencies, include the measResultListUTRA;

4> if the UE was configured to perform measurement reporting for one or more neighbouring GERAN frequencies, include the measResultListGERAN;

4> if the UE was configured to perform measurement reporting for one or more neighbouring CDMA2000 frequencies, include the measResultsCDMA2000;

NOTE 2: The measured quantities are filtered by the L3 filter as configured in the mobility measurement configuration. The measurements are based on the time domain measurement resource restriction, if configured. Blacklisted cells are not required to be reported.

3> if detailed location information is available, set the content of the locationInfo as follows:

4> include the locationCoordinates;

4> include the horizontalVelocity, if available;

3> set the failedPCellId to the global cell identity, if available, and otherwise to the physical cell identity and carrier frequency of the target PCell of the failed handover;

3> include previousPCellId and set it to the global cell identity of the PCell where the last RRCConnectionReconfiguration message including mobilityControlInfo was received;

3> set the timeConnFailure to the elapsed time since reception of the last RRCConnectionReconfiguration message including the mobilityControlInfo;

3> set the connectionFailureType to ‘hof‘;

2> initiate the connection re-establishment procedure as specified in 5.3.7, upon which the RRC connection reconfiguration procedure ends;

The UE may discard the handover failure information, i.e. release the UE variable VarRLF-Report 48 hours after the failure is detected.

NOTE 3: E-UTRAN may retrieve the handover failure information using the UE information procedure with rlf-ReportReq set to true, as specified in 5.6.5.3.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.3.7.4]

If the procedure was initiated due to radio link failure or handover failure, the UE shall:

1> set the reestablishmentCellId in the VarRLF-Report to the global cell identity of the selected cell;

[TS 36.331, clause 5.3.7.5]

The UE shall:

…

1> set the content of RRCConnectionReestablishmentComplete message as follows:

2> if the UE has radio link failure or handover failure information available in VarRLF-Report and plmn-Identity stored in VarRLF-Report is equal to the RPLMN:

3> include the rlf-InfoAvailable;

…

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

[TS 36.331, clause 5.6.5.3]

Upon receiving the UEInformationRequest message, the UE shall:

…

1> if rlf-ReportReq is set to true and the UE has radio link failure information or handover failure information available in VarRLF-Report and plmn-Identity stored in VarRLF-Report is equal to the RPLMN, set the rlf-Report in the UEInformationResponse message to the value of rlf-Report in VarRLF-Report;

1> if the rlf-Report is included in UEInformationResponse:

2> discard the rlf-Report from VarRLF-Report upon successful delivery of the UEInformationResponse message confirmed by lower layers.

…

1> if the logMeasReport is included in the UEInformationResponse:

…

1> else:

2> submit the UEInformationResponse message to lower layers for transmission via SRB1;

8.6.6.6 Handover Failure logging / Logging and reporting / Reporting at intra LTE handover / PLMN list

8.6.6.6.1 Test Purpose (TP)

(1)

with { UE in RRC_CONNECTED having detected handover failure }

ensure that {
when { UE handovers to another cell that belongs to a PLMN which is different from the PLMN where the handover failure was detected but included in the plmn_IdentityList stored in VarRLF-Report }

then { UE transmits the RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete with IE rlf-InfoAvailable included }

}

(2)

with { UE indicated the availability of handover failure information in RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message and the RPLMN is included in plmn-IdentityList stored in VarRLF-Report }

ensure that {

when { UE receives a UEInformationRequest message with rlf-ReportReq set to true }

then { UE transmits a UEInformationResponse message including rlf-Report }

}

8.6.6.6.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 36.331, clause 5.3.5.4, 5.3.5.6 and 5.6.5.3. Unless otherwise stated these are Rel-11 requirements.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.3.5.4 (TP1, TP2)]

If the RRCConnectionReconfiguration message includes the mobilityControlInfo and the UE is able to comply with the configuration included in this message, the UE shall:

…

1> set the content of RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message as follows:

2> if the UE has radio link failure or handover failure information available in VarRLF-Report and if the RPLMN is included in plmn-IdentityList stored in VarRLF-Report:

3> include rlf-InfoAvailable;

2> if the UE has logged measurements available for E-UTRA and if the RPLMN is included in plmn-IdentityList stored in VarLogMeasReport:

3> include the logMeasAvailable;

2> if the UE has connection establishment failure information available in VarConnEstFailReport and if the RPLMN is equal to plmn-Identity stored in VarConnEstFailReport:

3> include connEstFailInfoAvailable;

1> submit the RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message to lower layers for transmission;
