38.5093GPP5GSRelease 17Special conformance testing functions for User Equipment (UE)TS

The present document defines for User Equipment (UE) those special functions and their activation/deactivation methods that are required in the UE for conformance testing purposes when the UE is connected to the 5G System (5GS) via its radio interface(s).

The document also describes the operation of these special functions when the 5GS capable UEs are connected via a non-5GS system e.g. E-UTRA FDD or TDD system.

Depending on the 5GS system’s architecture some relevant for the UE for conformance testing special functions may be defined in TS 36.509 [6].
