8.5 Measurement Order procedures in Packet Transfer mode

3GPP44.060General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)Mobile Station (MS) - Base Station System (BSS) interfaceRadio Link Control / Medium Access Control (RLC/MAC) protocolRelease 17TS

The network may initiate the measurement order procedure by sending a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message on the PACCH to a mobile station in packet transfer mode or in MAC-Shared state. The PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message overrides a broadcast PSI5 message.

The PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message may also contain the following optional parameters:

– NC Measurement Parameters (NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER; NC_NON_DRX_PERIOD; NC_REPORTING_PERIOD_I; NC_REPORTING_PERIOD_T; NC_FREQUENCY_LIST);

– Enhanced measurement reporting.

Upon receipt of the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message, the mobile station shall store the received parameters and obey the NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER as specified in 3GPP TS 45.008 and in sub-clause 5.6. An exception is the case of a mobile station that has enabled PEO or EC operation in which case the mobile station shall ignore the NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER parameter if included in the message and behave as in network control mode NC0.
