To verify that the UE in CELL_DCH state accepts assistance data received in multiple MEASUREMENT CONTROL messages.

To verify that the UE includes the IE "GPS Additional Assistance Data Request" or "GANSS Additional Assistance Data Request" to request assistance data when it does not have enough assistance data.

6.2.3.1.4 Method of Test

Initial Conditions

– System Simulator (SS):

– 1 cell, default parameters.

– Satellite signals: As specified in 4.2.

– User Equipment (UE):

– The UE is in state "MM idle" with valid TMSI and CKSN.

– The UE is in state "PMM idle" with valid P-TMSI.

– The UE shall begin the test with no GPS and GANSS assistance data stored.

Test Procedure

This test case includes sub-test cases dependent on the GNSS supported by the UE. Each sub-test case is identified by a Sub-Test Case Number as defined below:

Sub-Test Case Number

Supported GNSS

1

UE supporting A-GLONASS only

2

UE supporting A-Galileo only

3

UE supporting A-GPS and Modernized GPS only

4

UE supporting A-GPS(1) and A-GLONASS only

8

UE supporting A-GPS(1) and A-Galileo only

9

UE supporting A-BDS only

10

UE supporting A-GPS(1) and A-BDS only

NOTE 1: “A-GPS” includes Modernized GPS if supported by the UE.

The stored GPS/GANSS assistance data in the UE shall be cleared.

The SS initiates authentication and ciphering and orders a positioning measurement using a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message including no assistance data.

The UE sends a MEASUREMENT REPORT message to report a positioning error, requesting further assistance data. The SS response with one or more MEASUREMENT CONTROL messages that include the requested assistance data and instructs the UE not to repeat the request for assistance data. The final MEASUREMENT CONTROL message orders periodic reporting.

The UE performs positioning measurements and responds with a MEASUREMENT REPORT message including the IE "UE Positioning Position Estimate Info" in case of UE-based, or including the IE "UE positioning GANSS measured results" and/or "UE positioning GPS measured results" in case of UE-assisted.

To verify that the UE in CELL_DCH state accepts assistance data received in multiple MEASUREMENT CONTROL messages.

To verify that the UE sets the IE Error Reason in ‘UE Positioning Error’ to ‘Not Enough GANSS Satellites’ when it does not receive enough satellite signals to compute a position.
