10 Generic call set up procedures
3GPP51.010-1Mobile Station (MS) conformance specificationPart 1: Conformance specificationTS
10.1 Generic call set-up procedure for mobile terminating speech calls
In the test procedures described in the present document, unless otherwise stated in the test description, the Mobile Terminating Speech call set-up procedure shall be as described in this subclause.
NOTE: In test cases where a fading profile is required, a different and appropriate ARFCN may be selected, for instance if the fading simulator bandwidth does not allow use of the default ARFCN.
10.1.1 Initial conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell, default parameters.
Mobile Station:
– the MS shall be operated under normal test conditions (see annex 1 TC.2.1);
– the special Test-SIM (see annex 4) shall be inserted;
– the MS is "idle, updated", with a TMSI assigned and listening to the BCCH/CCCH of the active cell.
10.1.2 Definition of system information messages
The following parameters shall be coded into the system information messages. Parameters shall be coded according to 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018.
The RACH Control Parameters IE shall be the same in SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 1, TYPE 2, TYPE 3 and TYPE 4 messages.
The Location Area Identification IE, Cell Selection Parameters IE, and P1 bit shall be the same in SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 3 and TYPE 4 messages.

10.4 Generic call set-up procedure for mobile originating data calls
In the test procedures described in the present document, unless otherwise stated in the test description, the Mobile Originating Data call set-up procedure shall be as described in this subclause.
NOTE: In test cases where a fading profile is required, a different and appropriate ARFCN may be selected, for instance if the fading simulator bandwidth does not allow use of the default ARFCN.
10.4.1 Initial conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell, default parameters.
Mobile Station:
– the MS shall be operated under normal test conditions (see annex 1 TC.2.1);
– the special Test-SIM (see annex 4) shall be inserted;
– the MS is "idle, updated", with a TMSI assigned and listening to the BCCH/CCCH of the active cell.
10.4.2 Definition of system information messages

PACKET DOWNLINK DUMMY CONTROL BLOCK |
Sent on PACCH containing USF assigned to the MS. |
NOTE: The MS is always granted a USF whenever the MS is expected to send.
