Conformance requirements of clause 26 fully apply to any mobile station (P-GSM, E-GSM, R-GSM, ER-GSM or DCS) in the whole supported band of the mobile station.
Besides, as an E-GSM or R-GSM or ER-GSM mobile station shall support the P-GSM band, it shall pass successfully every test of clause 26 under the described GSM 900 conditions.
The purpose of this extra section is to test the different procedures which may be impacted when some channel uses E‑GSM or R-GSM or ER-GSM frequency(ies).

With the exception of the Cell Allocation, the rest of the parameters for all eight cells are the same as the default settings and default SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 1 to 4 message contents for cell A. The Cell Allocation for the serving cell is the same as the default setting for cell A. The Cell Allocations for the neighbour cells need have only one entry, consisting of the ARFCN of that cell’s BCCH.
Mobile Station:
The MS is in the active state of a call (U10).
Specific PICS statements:
– R-GSM Band (TSPC_Type_GSM_R_Band)
– ER-GSM Band (TSPC_Type_ER_GSM_Band)
PIXIT statements:
Foreseen Final State of the MS
Active state of a call (U10).
Test Procedure
If the MS is R-GSM or ER-GSM capable, then this test shall be performed using R-GSM or ER-GSM, otherwise this test shall be performed using E-GSM.
The test is performed for execution counter, c=1 to 9.
For c=1 to 6, the following procedure applies:
With the MS having a call in progress, the SS sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5, 5bis and 6 on the SACCH. The MS shall send MEASUREMENT REPORTs back to the SS, and it shall be indicated in these that measurement results for the 6 strongest present carriers of the supported band have been obtained.
For c=7 to 9, the following procedure applies:
With the MS having a call in progress, the SS sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5, 5ter and 6 on the SACCH. The MS shall send MEASUREMENT REPORTs back to the SS, and it shall be indicated in these that measurement results for the 6 strongest present carriers of the supported band have been obtained.
Maximum Duration of Test
8 minutes, including 1 minute for any necessary operator actions.
Expected Sequence
This sequence is performed for execution counter, c= 1 to 9.
Since SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5, SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 6 and MEASUREMENT REPORT are sent continuously, a table is not applicable in this test. The interval between 2 successive Layer 2 frames containing MEASUREMENT REPORTs shall not exceed one Layer 2 frame.

26.10.2.4.1 E-GSM or R-GSM or ER-GSM signalling / RR / Handover / Successful handover
26.10.2.4.1.1 Conformance requirements
The MS shall correctly apply the handover procedure from a channel without frequency hopping in the primary band to a channel with frequency hopping using P-GSM and E-GSM or P-GSM and R-GSM or ER-GSM frequencies whatever the coding used for the frequency hopping description.
References
3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018, subclauses 3.4.4 and 9.1.15.
26.10.2.4.1.2 Test purpose
To check that the MS correctly performs a non-synchronized handover, from a non hopping primary band SDCCH to a hopping TCH or SDCCH using E-GSM or R-GSM or ER-GSM frequencies, whatever the coding used for the hopping sequence description and that it activates the new channel correctly.
This is tested in the following case:
E-GSM or R-GSM or ER-GSM signalling / Handover / successful / call under establishment / non-synchronized /:
– from SDCCH/8 to TCH/F if the MS supports a TCH;
– from SDCCH/8 to SDCCH/8 if not.
26.10.2.4.1.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
E-GSM:
2 cells A and B with same LAI, default parameters;
except for Cell A: the broadcasted Cell Channel Description in SYSTEM INFORMATION type 1 message contains the following frequencies: 20, 40, 66, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 108, 114 (encoded using Bit Map 0 format);
The broadcasted BCCH frequency list for Cell A in SYSTEM INFORMATION type 2 and 5 contains the following frequencies: 10, 20, 40, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 (encoded in Bit Map 0 format).
R-GSM or ER-GSM:
2 cells A and B with same LAI, default parameters;
except for Cell A: the broadcasted Cell Channel Description in SYSTEM INFORMATION type 1 message contains the following frequencies: 20, 40, 66, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 108, 114 (encoded using Bit Map 0 format);
Except for Cell B: the BCCH carrier number is 965.
Mobile Station:
The MS is in the "idle, updated" state, with a TMSI allocated and camped on cell A.
Specific PICS statements:
– R-GSM Band (TSPC_Type_GSM_R_Band)
– ER-GSM Band (TSPC_Type_ER_GSM_Band)
– TSPC_AddInfo_Full_rate_version_1
PIXIT statements:
–
Foreseen Final State of the MS
"Idle, updated" with TMSI allocated and camped on cell B.
Test Procedure
If the MS is R-GSM or ER-GSM capable, then this test shall be performed using R-GSM or ER-GSM, otherwise this test shall be performed using E-GSM.
The test procedure is performed 17 times.
A Mobile Originating Call is initiated on cell A. After the MS has sent the SETUP message (and before the last L2 frame carrying the SETUP message is acknowledged by the SS) the SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND message, ordering the MS to switch to cell B.
The MS shall then begin to send access bursts on the new channel, a TCH/F if supported (see PICS) or an SDCCH if not, to cell B.
The SS observes the access bursts. After receiving n access bursts, n being randomly drawn between 10 and 20 for the TCH case, 2 and 5 for the SDCCH (see table 26.6‑2 of subclause 26.6.5), the SS sends one PHYSICAL INFORMATION message with a Timing Advance of 20 (see table 26.6‑1 of subclause 26.6.5).
The MS shall activate the channel in sending and receiving mode. Then the MS shall establish a signalling link using the correct timing advance. The MS shall be ready to transmit a HANDOVER COMPLETE message before x ms after the end of the PHYSICAL INFORMATION message but not before a UA frame has been sent by the SS. The MS shall then again send the SETUP message to the SS, using the same value in the N(SD) field. Finally the SS sends a CHANNEL RELEASE to end the test.
The term "ready to transmit" is specified in 3GPP TS 04.13. The value of "x" depends upon the target channel:
– case SDCCH/8 x = 750;
– case TCH/F x=500.
Maximum Duration of Test
10 minutes.
Expected Sequence
The sequence is performed for execution counter k=1 to 3 and c=1 to 6 (excluding k=1 and c=6 as Format Bit Map 0 is not supported in the Frequency Short List IE).

26.10.2.4.2.1 Conformance requirements
During a handover from a channel in the E-GSM or R-GSM or ER-GSM band to a channel in the P-GSM band, or the contrary, the MS shall correctly return to the old channel in the case of an handover failure caused by a layer 1 failure on the target cell.
References
3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018 subclause 3.4.4.
26.10.2.4.2.2 Test purpose
To check that the MS correctly returns to the old channel in the case of a handover failure caused by a layer 1 failure on the target cell, even if the origin is in the P-GSM band and the target in the E-GSM or R-GSM or ER-GSM band.
26.10.2.4.2.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
E-GSM:
2 cells with same LAI, default parameters.
Cell A: The broadcasted BCCH frequency list for Cell A in SYSTEM INFORMATION type 2 and 5 contains the following frequencies: 10, 20, 40, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 (encoded in Bit Map 0 format).
The BCCH carrier number of Cell B is 40. (According to Table 26.1)
R-GSM or ER-GSM:
2 cells with same LAI, default parameters, except the BCCH carrier number of Cell A is 990, the BCCH carrier number of Cell B is 965.
Mobile Station:
E-GSM:
The MS is in the active state (U10) of a call on a P-GSM channel of cell A. power level = 10.
R-GSM or ER-GSM:
The MS is in the active state (U10) of a call on a E-GSM channel of cell A, power level = 10.
Specific PICS statements:
– R-GSM Band (TSPC_Type_GSM_R_Band)
– ER-GSM Band (TSPC_Type_ER_GSM_Band)
– TSPC_AddInfo_Full_rate_version_1
PIXIT statements:
–
Foreseen Final State of the MS
The active state (U10) of a mobile call (on cell A), used power level 10.
Test Procedure
If the MS is R-GSM or ER-GSM capable, then this test shall be performed using R-GSM or ER-GSM, otherwise this test shall be performed using E-GSM.
The MS is in the active state (U10) of a call on a P-GSM channel (on an E-GSM channel for R-GSM or ER-GSM testing) of cell A (used power level 10). The SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND on the main DCCH. The MS shall begin to send access bursts at the commanded power level on the new DCCH (and optionally on SACCH) to cell B (power level 12). With the exception of normal BCCH signalling, the SS does not transmit anything on cell B (thus causing a time-out of T3124). The MS shall re-establish the old link on cell A and send a HANDOVER FAILURE within 3 seconds from the transmission of HANDOVER COMMAND, using the old power level.
Maximum Duration of Test
1 minute.

26.10.3.1.1 Conformance requirement
1) An MS in MM state "idle, updated" and in RR idle mode with a TMSI assigned, when made to initiate a call for a selected teleservice that is supported by the MS , shall start to initiate an immediate assignment procedure by sending the CHANNEL REQUEST message with correct establishment cause.
2) Upon receipt of the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message, the Mobile Station initiates a local end release of link layer connections, disconnects the physical channels, commands the switching to the assigned channels and initiates the establishment of lower layer connections (this includes the activation of the channels, their connection and the establishment of the data links). After the main signalling link is successfully established, the MS returns an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message, specifying cause "normal event", to the network on the main DCCH.
3, 4) The call control entity of the Mobile Station in the "call initiated" state, in the "mobile originating call proceeding" state or in the "call delivered" state, shall, upon receipt of a CONNECT message:
– attach the user connection to the radio path;
– return a CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE message.

26.10.3.1.2 Test purpose
1) To verify that the MS in MM state "idle, updated" and in RR idle mode with a TMSI assigned, when made to initiate a call for a selected teleservice that is supported by the MS as declared in a PICS/PIXIT statement, starts to initiate an immediate assignment procedure by sending the CHANNEL REQUEST message.
2) To verify that subsequently after receipt of an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message allocating an SDCCH, after completion of establishment of the main signalling link, after having sent a CM SERVICE REQUEST message, after having successfully performed authentication and cipher mode setting procedures, after having sent a SETUP message, after having received a CALL PROCEEDING message followed by an ALERTING message and an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message allocating an appropriate TCH, the MS sends an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message.
3) To verify that subsequently, after the suite of actions specified in test purposes 1 and 2, the MS after receiving a CONNECT message returns a CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE message.
4) To verify that after the suite of actions specified in test purposes 1 and 2, the MS after receiving a CONNECT message attaches the user connection to the radio path. (This is checked by verifying that there is a point in time after transmission of the first L2 frame containing the (complete) CONNECT message, where the MS is sending appropriate speech or data frames whenever it does not have to transmit or acknowledge an I frame on layer 2 of the FACCH.)

26.10.3.2 E-GSM or R-GSM or ER-GSM signalling / Structured procedures / emergency call
Emergency call establishment can be initiated by an MS whether location updating has been successful or not and whether a SIM is inserted into the MS or not; but only if the MS is equipped for speech.
This subclause is only applicable to an MS supporting speech.
26.10.3.2.1 Conformance requirement
1) The MS in the "idle, updated" state, as after a successful location update, after the number 112 has been entered by user, shall send a CHANNEL REQUEST message with correct establishment cause ("emergency call").
2) After assignment of a dedicated channel the first layer message sent by the MS on the assigned dedicated channel shall be a CM SERVICE REQUEST message specifying the correct IMEI and a non-available CKSN, with CM Service Type "emergency call establishment".
3) After cipher mode setting acceptance by the network, the MS shall send an EMERGENCY SETUP message.
4, 5) The emergency call shall be correctly established. The assignment procedure shall be correctly performed.
6) After receipt of a CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE message during correct establishment of the emergency call the TCH shall be through connected in both directions if an appropriate TCH is available.
7) The call shall be cleared correctly.

26.10.3.2.2 Test purpose
1) To verify that the MS in the "idle, no IMSI" state (no SIM inserted) when made to call the number 112, sends a CHANNEL REQUEST message with establishment cause "emergency call".
2) To verify that after assignment of a dedicated channel the first layer message sent by the MS on the assigned dedicated channel is a CM SERVICE REQUEST message specifying the correct CKSN and TMSI, with CM Service Type "emergency call establishment".
3) To verify that after receipt of a CM SERVICE ACCEPT message from the SS, the MS sends an EMERGENCY SETUP message.
4) To verify that subsequently, the SS having sent a CALL PROCEEDING message and then an ALERT message and having initiated the assignment procedure, the MS performs correctly that assignment procedure.
5) To verify subsequent correct performance of a connect procedure.
6) To verify that subsequently the MS has through connected the TCH in both directions.
7) To verify that the call is cleared correctly.
This is tested in the following case:
Structured procedures / emergency call / idle, no IMSI / accept case.
26.10.3.2.3 Method of test
Specific PICS statements:
– R-GSM Band (TSPC_Type_GSM_R_Band)
– ER-GSM Band (TSPC_Type_ER_GSM_Band )
– TSPC_AddInfo_Full_rate_version_1
PIXIT statements:

Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell, default parameters except:
See Table 26.1
Mobile Station:
The MS is in MM-state "idle, no IMSI", no SIM inserted.
Foreseen Final State of the MS
The MS is in MM-state "idle, no IMSI", no SIM inserted.
Test procedure
If the MS is R-GSM or ER-GSM capable, then this test shall be performed using R-GSM or ER-GSM, otherwise this test shall be performed using E-GSM.
The MS is made to initiate an emergency call. The call is established without authentication, without ciphering, with early assignment. Having reached the active state, the call is cleared by the SS.
Maximum Duration of Test
1 minute.
