20.24 SoLSA Cell Selection and Reselection
3GPP51.010-1Mobile Station (MS) conformance specificationPart 1: Conformance specificationTS
All GSM test cases presented in 3GPP TS 11.10 clause 20 are applicable for SoLSA ME with or without LSA SIM. Nevertheless, if LSA SIM are used, it must be checked that no LSA subscription matches the information broadcast by the cell. Otherwise, test cases dealing with cell reselection would fail.
The cell re-selection tests defined in the following sections apply to the SoLSA MS if an LSA support exists in the serving cell. Otherwise the SoLSA MS shall perform cell re-selection according to the idle mode procedures defined in clause 6 of 3GPP TS 05.08.
The SS transmits one BCCH carrier per cell as indicated in the initial conditions for each test. These are referred to as carrier 1, carrier 2, etc. Each of these cell control channels are non-combined with SDCCHs. It is assumed that the SS can simultaneously transmit seven BCCH carriers and monitor three random access channels. In some cases, a test is performed in multiple stages in order that the requirements can be tested within the above constraints.
For any SoLSA MS all the carriers are in its supported band(s) of operation. For an E-GSM mobile station at least one of the carriers is in the extension band and one of the carriers is in the primary band.
Unless otherwise stated in the method of test, in all of the tests of this subclause:
– The SS is continuously paging the SoLSA MS on all carriers at the start of the test and does not respond to RACH requests from the SoLSA MS. Where a test specifies that the SoLSA MS is not paged on a particular carrier, only idle paging is transmitted according to 3GPP TS 04.18, subclause 3.2.2.2.
– The default values of the system information data fields given in table 20.24.1 are used.
– The SIM is in the idle updated state in the default location area with a TMSI assigned at the beginning of each test.
– The ARFCNs used for the carriers in each test are chosen from those in table 20.24.1 with adjacent carriers separated by a minimum of three channels.
The absolute accuracy of the SoLSA MS signal level measurements is assumed to be ±6 dB. A difference of at least 8 dB is allowed for cases of discrimination between C1, C2 or C4 values and 0.
The relative accuracy of the SoLSA MS signal level measurements is assumed to be ±3 dB for the signal levels used in the tests of this subclause. A difference of at least 5 dB is allowed for cases of discrimination between C1, C2 or C4 values on different carriers.
NOTE 1: The accuracy of SoLSA MS signal level measurements is specified in 3GPP TS 05.08. For all of the tests in this subclause, the signal levels used are greater than 1 dB above reference sensitivity level.
NOTE 2: The tolerance on timers specified in 3GPP TS 05.08 is ±10 % except for PENALTY_TIME where it is ±2 s. In the tests of this subclause, the test requirements include these tolerances. Consequently, the times stated in the test requirement sometimes differ from the corresponding timer in the conformance requirement.
Where pulsed signals are specified, the SS tolerance on pulse width is ±2 % and the SS tolerance on power level ±1 dB.
NOTE 3: Additional to the abbreviations and definitions in 3GPP TR 21.905 the following definitions are used within this subclause.

General Remark
1) Elementary File EFSLL (3GPP TS 11.11, subclause 10.4.1.2)
The information regarding ‘idle mode support’ and ‘LSA indication for idle mode’ is contained on the SIM card, in the Elementary File EFSLL SoLSA LSA List (identifier ‘4F31’) and, more precisely, in the ‘Configuration Parameters’ byte.
File EFSLL is represented in the table below, from 3GPP TS 11.11, subclause 10.4.1.2.
Each LSA is described by one record that is linked to an LSA Descriptor file. Each record contains information of the PLMN, priority of the LSA, information about the subscription and may also contain a text string and/or an icon that identifies the LSA to the user. The text string can be edited by the user.

20.24.1 SoLSA Cell Selection suitable cell
20.24.1.1 Definition
SoLSA Cell selection is a process in which a SoLSA MS, whenever a new PLMN is selected, attempts to find a "suitable cell" of that PLMN to camp on. Two methods of searching for a "suitable cell" are possible, normal cell selection and stored list cell selection. The process ensures that the SoLSA MS is camped on a cell from which it can reliably decode downlink data and with which it has a high probability of communications on the uplink. Once the SoLSA MS is camped on a cell, access to the network is allowed.
20.24.1.2 Conformance requirement
- The SoLSA MS shall be able to select the strongest "suitable cell" and be able to respond to paging on that cell within 30 s of switch on. This requires a valid normal LSA SIM with PIN disabled and ideal radio conditions; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.1. And it requires a list of LSAs for the subscriber stored on the SIM; 3GPP TS 11.11, subclause 10.4.1.2.
NOTE 1: For camping on an LSA cell the LSA subscription is not necessary except for camping on an LSA exclusive access cell; 3GPP TS 03.73, subclause 11.4.2.
NOTE 2: There should be no extra delay in cell selection procedure; 3GPP TS 02.43, subclause 4.2.2.
2. There are various requirements that a cell must satisfy before a SoLSA MS can perform normal camping on it:
2.1 (i) It should be a cell of the selected PLMN.
2.2 (ii) It should not be "barred".
2.3 (iv) The radio path loss between SoLSA MS and BTS must be below a threshold set by the PLMN operator.
2.4 (v) It should not be an LSA exclusive access cell to which the SoLSA MS does not subscribe.
3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.2.1.
NOTE 3: Criteria (iii) is not applicable for Cell Selection.
3. Initially the SoLSA MS looks for a cell which satisfies these 5 constraints ("suitable cell") by checking cells in descending order of received signal strength. If a "suitable cell" is found, the SoLSA MS camps on it; 3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.2.1.
- The SoLSA MS shall be able to calculate correctly the path loss criterion parameter C1, used for cell selection and reselection; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.4.
5. The LSA identification shall be stored on the SIM card in the LSA descriptor files.
LSAs can be described in four different ways; 3GPP TS 11.11, subclause 10.4.1.3:
– as a list of LSA IDs (3 bytes);
– as a list of LAC + CIs (4 bytes);
– as a list of CIs (2 bytes);
– as a list of LACs (2 bytes); or
– as a combination of the lists above.
20.24.1.3 Test purpose
The SoLSA MS shall be able to select a "suitable cell" according to the normal cell selection criteria. The identification of the LSA is done by using the LSA ID, the CI, the LAC or the LAC + CI.

20.24.2 SoLSA Cell (Re)Selection Emergency Call
20.24.2.1 Definition
–
20.24.2.2 Conformance requirement
1. The SoLSA MS shall be able to initiate emergency calls when no "suitable cells" of the selected PLMN are available, but at least one acceptable cell is available. The SoLSA MS is in limited service state.
An LSA exclusive access cell is "suitable" only if the LSA of the cell is one of the allowed LSA according to the SIM. Emergency calls are always allowed if no cells are found suitable; 3GPP TS 03.73, subclause 11.4.2.
2. When in a limited service state and if not camped on a cell, the MS shall monitor the received signal level of all RF channels within its band of operation, and search for a BCCH carrier which has C1 > 0 and which is not barred. When such a carrier is found, the MS shall camp on that cell, irrespective of the PLMN identity; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.8.
3. The MS shall perform cell reselection at least among the cells of the PLMN of the cell on which the MS has camped, according to the algorithm of 3GPP TS 03.22, except that a zero value of CELL_RESELECT_HYSTERESIS shall be used.
20.24.2.3 Test purpose
1. To verify that the SoLSA MS shall be able to initiate emergency calls when no "suitable cells" of selected PLMN are available, but at least one acceptable cell is available. The available cells are:
a) LSA exclusive access cells of the selected PLMN with no LSA subscription.
b) Normal LSA cell of forbidden PLMN.
2. To verify that the MS selects a cell with C1>0 and CBA = 0 when no suitable cells of the selected PLMN are available.
3. To verify that the MS, when performing cell reselection in the limited service state, uses CELL_RESELECT_HYSTERESIS = 0, 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.8.

NOTE: All the BCCH carriers belong to the same PLMN, which is not the MS’s home PLMN and which is in the SIM’s forbidden PLMN list.
Run the following test procedure twice by using two different sets of initial conditions:
– using initial conditions a);
– using initial conditions b).
20.24.2.4.2 Test Procedure
a) The SS activates the carriers. The SS monitors carriers 1, 2 and 3 for RA requests for the duration of the test.
b) The SoLSA MS is switched on.
c) 60 s after switch on, an emergency call is initiated on the SoLSA MS.
d) The SS changes the CBA of carrier 1 to 0.
NOTE 1: The MS should reselect carrier 1 because it should not take into account the CRH value of 14 but use 0 instead.
e) After 350 s an emergency call is initiated on the SoLSA MS.
NOTE 2: 330 s to detect change of BCCH data on neighbour cell, 15 s to perform reselection of carrier 1 since the SoLSA MS already has a running average on carrier 1, 5 s for search of a matching LSA on SIM.

20.24.3 SoLSA Cell Reselection / idle mode support enabled
General Remark
The identification of the LSA is done by means of the LSA ID, see General Remark 2) in subclause 20.24.
20.24.3.1 General conformance requirement
1. There are various requirements that a cell must satisfy before a SoLSA MS can perform normal camping on it:
i) It should be a cell of the selected PLMN.
ii) It should not be "barred".
iii) It should not be in an LA which is in the list of "forbidden LA for roaming".
iv) The radio path loss between SoLSA MS and BTS must be below a threshold set by the PLMN operator.
v) It should not be an LSA exclusive access cell to which the SoLSA MS does not subscribe.
3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.2.1.
2. While camped on a cell of the selected PLMN ("camped normally"), the SoLSA MS may need to select a different cell ("normal cell reselection" state). The following events trigger a cell reselection:
– The cell camped on (current serving cell) has become barred.
– There is a better cell (in terms of the path loss criterion C2) in the same LA, or a much better cell in another LA of the selected PLMN (using the CRH parameter).
– The SoLSA MS will then reselect a new cell in order to fulfil the process goal.
3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 4.5.
3. At least for every new sample or every second, whichever is the greatest, the SoLSA MS calculates the value of C1, C2 and C4 for the serving cell and the non‑serving cells. The SoLSA MS shall make a cell reselection if:
i) The path loss criterion parameter (C1) for the serving cell falls below zero for a period of 5 s.
ii) A non‑serving suitable cell (see 3GPP TS 03.22) is evaluated to be better than the serving cell for a period of 5 s. The best cell is:
– the cell with the highest value of C2 + LSA_OFFSET among those cells that have highest LSA priority among those that fulfil the criteria C4 0; or
– the cell with the highest value of C2 among all cells, if no cell fulfil the criterion C4 0.
LSA_OFFSET and LSA ID(s) are broadcast on BCCH. LSA priority is defined by the list of LSAs for the subscriber stored on the SIM. Cells with no LSA priority, e.g. non-LSA cells, are given LSA priority lower than 0. If no LSA_OFFSET parameter is broadcast, LSA_OFFSET shall be set to 0.
When evaluating the best cell, the following hysteresis values shall be subtracted from the C2 value for the neighbour cells:
– if the new cell is in the same location area: 0.
– if the new cell is in a different location area:
– CELL_RESELECT_HYSTERESIS, which is broadcast on BCCH of the serving cell.
– in case of a cell reselection occurred within the previous 15 s: 5 dB.
3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.6.3.
4. Cell reselection for any other reason shall take place immediately, but the cell that the SoLSA MS was camped on shall not be returned to within 5 s if another suitable cell can be found. If valid receive level averages are not available, the SoLSA MS shall wait until these values are available and then perform the cell reselection if it is still required. The SoLSA MS may accelerate the measurement procedure within the requirements in 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.6.1 to minimise the cell reselection delay. 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.6.3.
5. If no suitable cell is found within 10 s, the cell selection algorithm of 3GPP TS 03.22 shall be performed. Since information concerning a number of channels is already known to the SoLSA MS, it may assign high priority to measurements on the strongest carriers from which it has not previously made attempts to obtain BCCH information, and omit repeated measurements on the known ones. 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.6.3.
6. At least every 5 s the MS shall calculate the value of C1 and C2 for the serving cell and re‑calculate C1 and C2 values for non serving cells (if necessary). The MS shall then check whether:
i) The path loss criterion (C1) for current serving cell falls below zero for a period of 5 s. This indicates that the path loss to the cell has become too high.
ii) The calculated value of C2 for a non‑serving suitable cell exceeds the value of C2 for the serving cell for a period of 5 s, except;
a) in the case of the new cell being in a different location area or, for a GPRS MS, in a different routing area or always for a GPRS MS in ready state in which case the C2 value for the new cell shall exceed the C2 value of the serving cell by at least CELL_RESELECT_HYSTERESIS dB as defined by the BCCH data from the current serving cell, for a period of 5 s; or
b) in case of a cell reselection occurring within the previous 15 s in which case the C2 value for the new cell shall exceed the C2 value of the serving cell by at least 5 dB for a period of 5 s.
This indicates that it is a better cell.
3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.6.2.
7. The SoLSA MS shall attempt to decode the full BCCH data of the serving cell at least every 30 s; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.6.1.
8. The signal strength threshold criterion parameter C4 is used to determine whether prioritised LSA cell reselection shall apply and is defined by:
C4 = A – PRIO_THR
where
A = RLA_C – RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN
and PRIO_THR is the signal threshold for applying LSA reselection. PRIO_THR is broadcast on the BCCH. If the idle mode support is disabled for the LSA (3GPP TS 11.11, subclause 10.4.1.2) or if the cell does not belong to any LSA to which the MS is subscribed or if no PRIO_THR parameter is broadcast, PRIO_THR shall be set to .
3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.4.
9. The LSA identification is stored on the SIM card within the descriptor file for the LSA. 3GPP TS 11.11, subclause 10.4.1.3.
20.24.3.2 SoLSA Cell Reselection / idle mode support enabled / LSA Priority
20.24.3.2.1 Definition
While camped on a cell of the selected PLMN the SoLSA MS may need to select a different cell in order to fulfil the normal service state. This ensures that the SoLSA MS is camped on a cell from which it can reliably decode downlink data and with which it has a high probability of communications on the uplink.
Idle mode support for SoLSA on the SIM card is enabled (see General Remark 1. in subclause 20.24).
20.24.3.2.2 Conformance requirement
1. While camped on a cell of the selected PLMN ("camped normally"), the SoLSA MS may need to select a different cell ("normal cell reselection" state). The following events trigger a cell reselection:
– The cell camped on (current serving cell) has become barred.
– There is a better cell (in terms of the path loss criterion C2) in the same LA.
– The SoLSA MS will then reselect a new cell in order to fulfil the process goal.
3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 4.5.
2. A SoLSA MS with SIM indicating LSA subscription shall always try to reselect the cell with highest LSA priority according to the information stored on the SIM. 3GPP TS 03.73, subclause 11.4.2.
20.24.3.2.3 Test purpose
To verify that the SoLSA MS when idle mode support for SoLSA on the SIM card is enabled shall favour camping on those LSA cells with the highest LSA priority the SoLSA MS is subscribed to.
20.24.3.2.4 Method of test

-
- Definition
-
-
-
While camped on a cell of the selected PLMN the SoLSA MS may need to select a different cell in order to fulfil the normal service state. This ensures that the SoLSA MS is camped on a cell from which it can reliably decode downlink data and with which it has a high probability of communications on the uplink.
Idle mode support for SoLSA on the SIM card is enabled (See General Remark 1. of subclause 20.24).
20.24.3.3.2 Conformance requirement
1. While camped on a cell of the selected PLMN ("camped normally"), the SoLSA MS may need to select a different cell ("normal cell reselection" state). The following events trigger a cell reselection:
– The cell camped on (current serving cell) has become barred.
– There is a better cell (in terms of the path loss criterion C2) in the same LA, or a much better cell in another LA of the selected PLMN (using the CRH parameter).
– The SoLSA MS will then reselect a new cell in order to fulfil the process goal.
3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 4.5.
2. A SoLSA MS with SIM indicating LSA subscription shall always try to reselect the cell with highest LSA priority according to the information stored on the SIM. 3GPP TS 03.73, subclause 11.4.2.
3. The LSA identification shall be stored on the SIM card in the LSA descriptor files (EF).
LSAs can be described in four different ways (see 3GPP TS 11.11, subclause 10.4.1.3):
– as a list of LSA IDs (3 bytes);
– as a list of LAC + CIs (4 bytes);
– as a list of CIs (2 bytes);
– as a list of LACs (2 bytes); or
– as a combination of the lists above.
20.24.3.3.3 Test purpose
To verify that the SoLSA MS when idle mode support for SoLSA on the SIM card is enabled shall favour camping on those LSA cells with the highest C2 among those cells with the highest LSA priority the SoLSA MS is subscribed to even if the cell belongs to a different location area.

20.24.3.4 SoLSA Cell Reselection / idle mode support enabled / Priority Threshold
20.24.3.4.1 Definition
While camped on a cell of the selected PLMN the SoLSA MS may need to select a different cell in order to fulfil the normal service state. This ensures that the SoLSA MS is camped on a cell from which it can reliably decode downlink data and with which it has a high probability of communications on the uplink.
Idle mode support for SoLSA on the SIM card is enabled (see General Remark 1 in subclause 20.24).
20.24.3.4.2 Conformance requirement
The SoLSA MS shall be able to calculate correctly the signal strength threshold criterion parameter C4 which is to determine whether prioritised LSA cell reselection shall apply.
The signal strength threshold criterion parameter C4 is used to determine whether prioritised LSA cell reselection shall apply and is defined by:
C4 = A – PRIO_THR
Where:
A is defined as above and PRIO_THR is the signal threshold for applying LSA reselection. PRIO_THR is broadcast on the BCCH. If the idle mode support is disabled for the LSA (see 3GPP TS 11.11) or if the cell does not belong to any LSA to which the MS is subscribed or if no PRIO_THR parameter is broadcast, PRIO_THR shall be set to .

20.24.3.7 SoLSA Cell Reselection / roaming
20.24.3.7.1 Definition
While camped on a cell of the selected PLMN the SoLSA MS may need to select a different cell in order to fulfil the normal service state. This ensures that the SoLSA MS is camped on a cell from which it can reliably decode downlink data and with which it has a high probability of communications on the uplink.
Idle mode support for SoLSA on the SIM card is enabled (see General Remark 1. in subclause 20.24).
20.24.3.7.2 Conformance requirement
1. While camped on a cell of the selected PLMN ("camped normally"), the SoLSA MS may need to select a different cell ("normal cell reselection" state). The following events trigger a cell reselection:
– There is a better cell (in terms of the path loss criterion C2) in the same LA.
– The SoLSA MS will then reselect a new cell in order to fulfil the process goal.
3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 4.5.
2. A SoLSA MS with SIM indicating LSA subscription shall always try to reselect the cell with highest LSA priority according to the information stored on the SIM. 3GPP TS 03.73, subclause 11.4.2.
20.24.3.7.3 Test Purpose
To verify that the SoLSA MS when idle mode support for SoLSA on the SIM card is enabled shall favour camping on those LSA cells with the highest LSA priority the SoLSA MS is subscribed to even if subscriber is outside of his HPLMN.

20.24.4 SoLSA Cell Reselection / idle mode support / any value
General Remark
Definition of "idle mode support" is given in subclause 20.24 General Remark 1.
"Idle mode support" is only controlling if ‘favouring’ shall be done at cell reselection. It does not disable the LSA subscription.
20.24.4.1 Definition
While camped on a cell of the selected PLMN a SoLSA MS may need to select a different cell in order to fulfil the normal service state. This ensures that the SoLSA MS is camped on a cell from which it can reliably decode downlink data and with which it has a high probability of communications on the uplink.
20.24.4.2 Conformance requirement
1. While camped on a cell of the selected PLMN ("camped normally"), the SoLSA MS may need to select a different cell ("normal cell reselection" state). The following events trigger a cell reselection:
– The cell camped on (current serving cell) has become barred.
– There is a better cell (in terms of the path loss criterion C2) in the same LA, or a much better cell in another LA of the selected PLMN (using the CRH parameter).
– The SoLSA MS will then reselect a new cell in order to fulfil the process goal.
3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 4.5.
20.24.4.3 Test purpose
To verify that the SoLSA MS shall not favour camping on the LSA for which support in idle mode is disabled.

20.24.5 SoLSA Cell Reselection / LSA indication for idle mode
General Remark
Definition of "LSA indication for idle mode" is given in subclause 20.24 General Remark 1.
"LSA indication for idle mode" is only controlling if indication of the LSA name shall be done. It has no influence on the LSA subscription.
20.24.5.1 General Definition
The SoLSA MS in idle mode may inform the user whether or not the serving cell belongs to the subscribed LSA.
– The indication is dependent on the setting of the idle mode indication bit on the SIM card for that LSA.
– The indication is independent from the setting of the LSA idle mode support bit on the SIM card for that LSA (see subclause 20.24 General Remark 1).
20.24.5.2 General conformance requirement
1. The service subscriber can define a name (alphanumeric name, icon, etc) for each of her allowed LSAs. The MS will, in idle mode and if required by the user, indicate to the user the current LSA. The indication may be the name of the current LSA, as set by the user. The form of display and indication are left to manufacturer’s choice. 3GPP TS 03.73, subclause 4.3.2.
2. In addition to indicate the registered PLMN, an MS with subscription for an LSA in the registered PLMN shall indicate this LSA when it is available. The indication towards the user is optional and may be done by displaying the stored LSA name that corresponds to the ID of the current LSA. An MS with LSA only access subscription may also give an indication towards the user, when the no subscribed LSAs are available to the user. The indication is optional and may be done by displaying the LSA only access text stored in the SIM. 3GPP TS 03.73, subclause 11.8.1.
20.24.5.3 SoLSA Cell Reselection / LSA indication for idle mode / idle mode support enabled
20.24.5.3.1 Definition
See general Definition of this subclause.
20.24.5.3.2 Conformance requirement
1. When both idle mode support and idle mode indication are enabled on the SIM card, the SoLSA MS shall display the name (which was defined by the service subscriber) of the current LSA to the user.
2. When idle mode support is enabled and idle mode indication is disabled on the SIM card, it is expected that the SoLSA MS does not display the LSA name (which was defined by the service subscriber) of the current LSA to the user.
3GPP TS 03.73, subclause 4.3.2; 3GPP TS 03.73, subclause 11.8.1; 3GPP TS 11.11, subclause 10.4.1.2.
20.24.5.3.3 Test Purpose
1. To verify that if idle mode indication bit on the SIM card is enabled for the LSA, the SoLSA MS supports the LSA indication. The LSA name (text/icon) shall be displayed on the SoLSA MS.
2. To verify that if idle mode indication bit on the SIM card is disabled for the LSA the SoLSA MS does not support the LSA indication.
