5.1 GPS Scenario and Assistance data for Assisted GPS signalling tests

5.1.1 General

This subclause defines the GPS scenario and the associated assistance data that shall be used where required for UTRA Assisted GPS signalling tests defined in TS 37.571-2 [7] subclauses 6.1.1 to 6.1.3.

The satellite simulator shall generate the six satellite signals defined in subclause 5.1.2 and/or shall provide assistance data as defined in subclause 5.1.3. Note that some tests require assistance data to be provided even though satellite signals are not required.

5.1.2 GPS Scenario

The following GPS scenario shall be used. The assistance data specified in the following subclauses is consistent with this GPS scenario:

– Yuma Almanac data: see file Tokyo Yuma.txt in the GPS data sig zip file specified in Annex A

– UE location and Reference location: static at latitude: 35 degrees 40 minutes north, longitude: 139 degrees 45 minutes east, (Tokyo) height: = 50m

– Start time: 12th September 2003 21:30:00

– Visible satellites simulated: PRNs: 4, 6, 9, 10, 13, 22.

– Ionospheric model: see values in subclause 5.1.3.4

– The levels of the simulated satellites shall all be at -125dBm +/- 6dB

5.1.3 Assistance Data

Where assistance data is required on a per-satellite basis, or where the values of the data also varies with time it is specified in comma-separated-variable files in the GPS data sig zip file specified in Annex A. These files specify the values to be used for each satellite, indexed by satellite PRN, and, where applicable, the values to be used indexed by both time and satellite PRN.

Assistance data that is marked as “time varying” and the GPS TOW msec field are only specified and used in 1 second increments. Interpolation between these values shall not be used.

The accuracy of the GPS TOW msec and assistance data that is marked as “time varying” in the provided assistance data shall be within +/- 2 s relative to the GPS time in the system simulator. In the case that assistance data is required but satellite signals are not required then this clause does not apply.

Assistance data Information Elements and fields that are not specified shall not be used.

The UE location offset shall be calculated by selecting the next pair of random numbers, representing a pair of latitude and longitude offsets in degrees, from a standard uniform random number generator, with the following properties:

The ranges of the latitude and longitude offsets values shall be such that when translated onto the surface of the earth they shall lie within a 3km radius circle, centred on the Reference location specified for the GPS scenario under consideration. For the purposes of this calculation make the following assumptions:

a) Over the 3km radius circle at the Reference location the earth is flat and the meridians and parallels form a rectangular grid

b) The earth is spherical with a radius of 6371141m (equal to the WGS 84 value at 35 degrees latitude)

The resolution used for the latitude and longitude offsets values shall be 90/2E23 for the latitude offset values and 360/2E24 for the longitude offset values, representing the coding resolution in degrees specified in TS 23.032 [19].

5.2.1.2.4.2 UE Altitude

The UE altitude value shall be calculated by selecting the next random number from a standard uniform random number generator, in the range 0 to 500, representing meters. The resolution used for the random number shall be 1, representing 1 meter.

5.2.6 Contents of Information elements for A-GPS Minimum performance testing

5.2.6.1 General

This subclause defines the assistance data values that shall be used for all Assisted GPS minimum performance tests. It is given for GPS scenarios #1, #2 and #3 where it is different for each scenario; otherwise it is marked “All” where the same value is used for all scenarios.

Where assistance data is required on a per-satellite basis, or where the values of the data also varies with time it is specified in comma-separated-variable files with suffixes XX in the GPS data perf zip file specified in Annex A, where XX is 01, 02 and 03 for GPS scenarios #1, #2 and #3 respectively. These files specify the values to be used for each satellite, indexed by satellite PRN, and, where applicable, the values to be used indexed by both time and satellite PRN.

Assistance data that is marked as “time varying” is specified and used in 80 ms increments. Interpolation between these values shall not be used.

Assistance data Information Elements and fields that are not specified shall not be used.

The information elements detailed below are fully defined in TS 25.331 [16]

5.2.6.2 IE Random Offset Values

This subclause defines the methods for generating the random offsets that are required to be applied to some assistance data IEs for certain tests.

5.2.6.2.1 GPS TOW msec

For every Test Instance in each TTFF test case, the IE GPS TOW msec shall have a random offset, relative to GPS system time, within the allowed error range of Coarse Time Assistance defined in the test case. This offset value shall have a uniform random distribution.

Note: For the Moving Scenario and Periodic Update Test Case the value of the IE GPS TOW msec shall be set to the nominal value, i.e. no offset shall be used.

The offset value shall be calculated by selecting the next random number from a standard uniform random number generator, in the range specified for the GPS Coarse Time assistance error range in the Test Requirements, Test parameters table for the test under consideration. The resolution used for the random number shall be 0.01, representing 10ms.

5.2.6.2.2 UTRAN GPS timing of cell frames

In addition, for every Fine Time Assistance Test Instance the IE UTRAN GPS timing of cell frames shall have a random offset, relative to the true value of the relationship between the two time references, within the allowed error range of Fine Time Assistance defined in the test case. This offset value shall have a uniform random distribution.

The offset value shall be calculated by selecting the next random number from a standard uniform random number generator with the following properties:

The range shall be the number of UMTS chips whose duration is less than the range specified for the GPS Fine Time assistance error range in the Test Requirements, Test parameters table for the test under consideration.

The resolution used for the random number shall be 1, representing 1 UMTS chip.

This is the value in ms of GPS TOW msec when the GPS scenario is initially started in the GPS simulator. For all TTFF test cases, each time a GPS scenario is used, the GPS start time shall be advanced by 120 seconds from the value last used so that, at the time the fix is made, it is at least 2 minutes later than the previous fix made with that scenario.
The actual value of GPS TOW msec to be used in the Reference Time IE (before the addition of the random offset, if applicable) shall be calculated at the time the IE is required by adding the elapsed time since the time the scenario was started in the GPS simulator to this value. The accuracy shall be such that the Maximum Test System Uncertainty for Coarse Time Assistance, specified in Table C.1.2 of TS 37.571-1 [6], shall be met.
For all TTFF test cases a random offset is then added to the value of GPS TOW msec as described in subclause 5.2.6.2

Note 2: UTRAN GPS timing of cell frames and SFN
The values of UTRAN GPS timing of cell frames (before the addition of the random offset) and SFN shall be calculated at the time the IE is required. The accuracy of the relationship between the two fields shall be such that the Maximum Test System Uncertainty for Fine Time Assistance, specified in Table C.1.2 of TS 37.571-1 [6], shall be met.
A random offset is then added to the value of UTRAN GPS timing of cell frames as described in subclause 5.2.6.2

Note 1: GPS TOW msec
This is the value in ms of GPS TOW msec when the GPS scenario is initially started in the GPS simulator. For all TTFF test cases, each time a GPS scenario is used, the GPS start time shall be advanced by 120 seconds from the value last used so that, at the time the fix is made, it is at least 2 minutes later than the previous fix made with that scenario.
The actual value of GPS TOW msec to be used in the Acquisition Assistance IE (before the addition of the random offset, if applicable) shall be calculated at the time the IE is required by adding the elapsed time since the time the scenario was started in the GPS simulator to this value. The accuracy shall be such that the Maximum Test System Uncertainty for Coarse Time Assistance, specified in Table C.1.2 of TS 37.571-1 [6], shall be met.
For all TTFF test cases a random offset is then added to the value of GPS TOW msec as described in subclause 5.2.6.2
This “final GPS TOW msec” value is then also used to determine the value of the Acquisition Assistance Information Elements marked as “Time varying”

Note 2: UTRAN GPS timing of cell frames and SFN.
The values of UTRAN GPS timing of cell frames (before the addition of the random offset) and SFN shall be calculated at the time the IE is required. The accuracy of the relationship between the two fields shall be such that the Maximum Test System Uncertainty for Fine Time Assistance, specified in Table C.1.2 of TS 37.571-1 [6], shall be met.
A random offset is then added to the value of UTRAN GPS timing of cell frames as described in subclause 5.2.6.2
