3GPP51.010-1Mobile Station (MS) conformance specificationPart 1: Conformance specificationTS
26.11.2.1 Multiband signalling / RR / Immediate assignment procedure
To inform the multiband network of the MSs additional frequency and power capability, the multiband MS has to send a CLASSMARK CHANGE as soon as possible in a connection establishment.
26.11.2.1.1 Conformance requirement
Following a PAGING REQUEST message, the MS shall correctly set up an RR connection on a supported channel described in the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message. On the MS side, the procedure is terminated when the establishment of the main signalling link is confirmed. When the ES bit is set to 1 in the Classmark 1 or the Classmark 2 information element and the Early Sending Classmark Control bit is set to "high" in SI3 Rest Octets, then the MS shall send, on the first occasion, the CLASSMARK CHANGE message.
During a contention resolution procedure, if the last timeslot of the block containing a L2 UA frame occurs at time T, then the MS shall be ready to transmit the CLASSMARK CHANGE before T + 40 ms.

– GSM 450 Band (TSPC_Type_GSM_450_Band)
– Standard GSM Band (P-GSM) (TSPC_Type_GSM_P_Band)
– Extended GSM Band (E-GSM) (TSPC_Type_GSM_E_Band)

– GSM 750 band (TSPC_Type_GSM_750_Band)
– GSM 710 band (TSPC_Type_GSM_710_Band)
PIXIT statements:
–
Foreseen Final State of the MS
"Idle, updated", with TMSI allocated.
Test Procedure
The test is performed twice, first time in the lower band (BCCH carrier number 20, 263, 310, 457 or 147) and second time in the upper band (BCCH carrier number 20 or 590).
The System Simulator pages the MS and after the MS has responded with a CHANNEL REQUEST message the SS assigns an SDCCH. The MS shall go to the correct channel and send a PAGING RESPONSE message followed by a CLASSMARK CHANGE message. Then the SS initiates RR-release by sending a CHANNEL RELEASE message.
Before the procedure is repeated, the SS is reconfigured to transmit BCCH carrier in the upper band of operation (ARFCN 20 or 590).
Maximum Duration of Test
6 seconds per value of the execution timer and 1 min for reconfiguring the SS.
Expected Sequence
This sequence is performed for execution counter k = 1 to 2.

26.11.2.2 Multiband signalling / RR / Handover
This subclause applies to any multiband mobile stations.
The purpose of this extra section is to test the handover where the target cell uses frequencies outside the frequency band of the serving cell.
26.11.2.2.1 Multiband signalling / RR / Handover / successful / active call / non-synchronized
26.11.2.2.1.1 Conformance requirements
The MS shall correctly apply the handover procedure in the non-synchronized case when a call is in progress and when handover is performed from a TCH/F without frequency hopping in one band towards a TCH/F without frequency hopping in another band.
When the MS releases a TCH or SDCCH and returns to idle mode, it shall, as quickly as possible, camp on the BCCH carrier of the cell whose channel has just been released, ie the BCCH carrier indicated in the HANDOVER COMMAND.
A multi band mobile station shall not consider a HANDOVER COMMAND as invalid because it indicates target channel frequencies that are all in a different frequency band to that of the ARFCN in the Cell Description IE.

3GPP TS 04.13 subclause 5.2.6.2.
3GPP TS 05.08 subclause 6.7.1.
26.11.2.2.1.2 Test purpose
To test that when the MS is ordered to make a non-synchronized handover it continuously sends access bursts on the main DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) until it receives a PHYSICAL INFORMATION message from the SS. To test that the MS correctly handles the Timing Advance IE in the PHYSICAL INFORMATION message. To test that the MS activates the new channel correctly and transmits the HANDOVER COMPLETE message without undue delay. To test that upon release of the TCH, the mobile camps on the BCCH carrier of the cell indicated in the HANDOVER COMMAND.

Foreseen Final State of the MS
For execution counter M = 1:
The active state (U10) of a call on cell B.
For execution counter M = 2:
The active state (U10) of a call on cell A.
For execution counter M = 3:
The MM idle state on cell A.
Test Procedure
The MS is in the active state (U10) of a call on cell A. The SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND on the main DCCH. The MS shall begin to send access bursts on the new DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) of the target cell. The SS observes the access bursts and after receiving n (n being randomly drawn between values according to table 26.6‑2 of subclause 26.6.5) access bursts, the SS sends one PHYSICAL INFORMATION message with a Timing Advance as specified in table 26.6‑1 of subclause 26.6.5. The MS shall activate the channel in sending and receiving mode. The MS shall establish a signalling link. 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 term "ready to transmit" is defined in 3GPP TS 04.13. The value of "x" depends upon the target channel and is specified in the specific message contents section.
For execution counter M = 3, the call is then released and then the SS sends a CHANNEL RELEASE message. It is then checked for 2 minutes that the MS does not access Cell B.
Note: the CRH parameter is set to 12 dB. After the Channel release, the MS is required to go to the BCCH carrier of cell A. Then C1 on cell A is greater than_that on cell B Hence the MS shall not location update on cell B. The absence of additional cell (re)selection parameters means that C2 = C1.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes, including 1 minute for any necessary operator actions.
Expected Sequence
This sequence is performed for an execution counter M = 1, 2, 3 for an MS which supports TCH/F.
Steps after step 7 are only performed for execution counter M = 3.

Foreseen Final State of the MS
The active state (U10) of a mobile call on cell A. Used power level is the maximum supported by the MS in the band in use.
Test Procedure
The MS is in the active state (U10) of a call on cell A. The SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND on the main DCCH. The MS shall begin to send access bursts on the new DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) to cell B. 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 Control Level.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes, including 1 minute for any necessary operator actions.

26.11.2.2.3 Multiband signalling / RR / Handover / Multiband BCCH / successful / active call / non synchronized
26.11.2.2.3.1 Conformance requirements
This test relates to cells supporting frequencies in GSM 400, GSM 710, GSM 750, GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 bands.
The MS shall correctly apply the handover procedure in the non synchronized case when a call is in progress and when handover is performed from a TCH/F without frequency hopping in one band towards a TCH/F either with frequency hopping or not in another band.
References
3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018 subclauses 3.4.4 and 9.1.15.
3GPP TS 04.13 subclause 5.2.6.2.
3GPP TS 05.08 subclause 6.7.1.
26.11.2.2.3.2 Test purpose
To test that when the MS is ordered to make a non synchronized handover it sends continuously access bursts on the main DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) until it receives a PHYSICAL INFORMATION message from the SS. To test that the MS correctly handles the Timing Advance IE in the PHYSICAL INFORMATION. To test that the MS activates the new channel correctly and transmits the HANDOVER COMPLETE message without undue delay.

Mobile Station:
For execution counter M = 1, the MS is in the active state (U10) of a call on cell A, using a TCH in the lower band.
For execution counter M = 2, the MS is in the active state (U10) of a call on cell B, using a TCH in the upper band.

Foreseen Final State of the MS
For execution counter M = 1
The active state (U10) of a call with a TCH in the upper band on cell B.
For execution counter M = 2
The active state (U10) of a call in hopping mode in the upper band on cell A.
Test Procedure
The MS is in the active state (U10) of a call. The SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND on the main DCCH. The MS shall begin to send access bursts on the new DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) of the target cell. The SS observes the access bursts and after receiving n (n being randomly drawn between values [10-20]) access bursts, the SS sends one PHYSICAL INFORMATION message with an arbitrary Timing Advance. The MS shall activate the channel in sending and receiving mode. The MS shall establish a signalling link. 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 term "ready to transmit" is defined in 3GPP TS 04.13. The value of "x" depends upon the target channel and is specified in the specific message contents section.
Note: the CRH parameter is set to 12 dB. After the Channel release, the MS is required to go to the BCCH carrier of cell A. Then C1 on cell A is greater than_that on cell B Hence the MS shall not location update on cell B. The absence of additional cell (re)selection parameters means that C2 = C1.
where
A = Received Level Average – RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN
B = MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH – P
with the system information used, MS_TXPWR_MAC_CCH and RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN are set to their minimum value. Hence B will be negative and hence C1=(A-0)= A.
For DCS, GSM 400, GSM 900, GSM 700 and GSM 850, RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN is -110 dBm.
Cell B (upper band cell) is transmitting 10 dB less power than cell A, thus the received signal from cell A should be greater than that from cell B.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes, including 1 minute for any necessary operator actions.
Expected Sequence
This sequence is performed for an execution counter M = 1 and 2 for an MS which supports TCH/F.

26.11.2.2.4 Multiband signalling / RR / Handover/ Multiband BCCH / Intracell Handover – Interband Assignment
In case of multi-band networks, an intracell change of channel can be requested by upper layers in order to change the channel type (Directed Retry from a channel belonging to one frequency band to a channel belonging to another frequency band), or it may be initiated by the RR-sublayer for an intra cell and inter-band handover for cells supporting GSM 400, GSM 710, GSM750, GSM 850, GSM 900 and DCS 1 800 frequencies. This change is performed using the channel assignment procedure.
26.11.2.2.4.1 Dedicated assignment / successful case
This test is only applicable to an MS supporting a TCH.
26.11.2.2.4.1.1 Conformance requirements
1. 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 main signalling links).
2. MM-messages and CM-messages using SAPI=0 sent from the mobile station to the network can be duplicated by the data link layer in the following case:
– a channel change of dedicated channels is required (assignment or handover procedure) and the last layer 2 frame has not been acknowledged by the peer data link layer before the mobile station leaves the old channel;
– in this case, the mobile station does not know whether the network has received the message correctly. Therefore, the mobile station has to send the message again after the new dedicated channel is established.
3. The MS shall establish the link with the power level specified in the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message.
– The MS shall confirm the power control level that it is currently employing in the uplink SACCH L1 header. The indicated value shall be the power control level actually used by the mobile for the last burst of the previous SACCH period.
4. The MS shall apply the hopping frequencies specified in ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message in the Mobile Allocation IE or the Frequency List IE at the time of accessing the new channel using the last received Cell Allocation.
5. After receipt of the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND the MS shall perform the assignment and return an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE without undue delay.

26.11.2.2.4.2 Test purpose
1. To verify that upon receipt of an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND, the MS switches to the channel defined in the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND, establishes the link and sends an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message. This is tested for an MS supporting TCH in the special cases of a transition.
NOTE: in all cases the old and the new channel assigned belong to different frequency bands.
1.1 from non-hopping SDCCH in the lower band to hopping TCH/F in the upper band using a different timeslot;
1.2 from hopping TCH/F in the upper band to non-hopping TCH/F in the lower band using a different timeslot;
1.3 from non-hopping TCH/F in the lower band to hopping TCH/F in the upper band using a different timeslot.
1.4 from hopping TCH/F in the upper band to hopping TCH/H in the lower band using a different timeslot; this test purpose is only applicable if the MS supports TCH/H;
1.5 from hopping TCH/H in the lower band to non-hopping TCH/H in the upper band using a different timeslot; this test purpose is only applicable if the MS supports TCH/H;
1.6 from non-hopping TCH/H in the upper band to hopping TCH/F in the lower band using a different timeslot; this test purpose is only applicable if the MS supports TCH/H.
2. To verify that an MS supporting TCH, having received an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND, is able in the case of frequency hopping to decode the Mobile Allocation and Frequency List IEs correctly and applies the specified frequencies using the correct Cell Allocation.
3. To verify that after receipt of the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND the MS returns an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE without undue delay.

Test Procedure
The SS pages the MS and allocates an SDCCH. Then three channels are assigned with ASSIGNMENT COMMANDs messages. Each time the MS shall switch to the assigned channel, establish the link and send an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message.
For an MS not supporting TCH/H, the SS initiates the channel release procedure and the test ends here. For an MS supporting TCH/H, the channel assignment procedure is performed another three times, with half rate channels involved, and again it is checked that the MS correctly completes the procedures, before the SS initiates the channel release procedure.
Maximum Duration of Test
60 s.

26.11.2.3 Multiband signalling / RR / Measurement reporting
This test applies to any multiband MSs supporting simultaneous multiband operation.
26.11.2.3.1 Conformance requirements
The MS shall continuously send MEASUREMENT REPORT messages on every SACCH blocks and the measurement valid indication shall be set to valid (0) within the second block at the latest. After 20 s the values in the MEASUREMENT REPORT message shall contain measurement results for up to the 6 strongest BCCH carriers among those with known and allowed NCC part of BSIC on which the mobile is asked to report. For a multi band MS the number of neighbour cells, for each frequency band supported, which shall be included is indicated by the parameter MULTIBAND_REPORTING.

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, 2 and 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:
– GSM 450 Band (TSPC_Type_GSM_450_Band)
– Standard GSM Band (P-GSM) (TSPC_Type_GSM_P_Band)
– Extended GSM Band (E-GSM) (TSPC_Type_GSM_E_Band)
– GSM 480 Band (TSPC_Type_GSM_480_Band)
– DCS 1800 band (TSPC_Type_DCS_Band)
– GSM 750 band (TSPC_Type_GSM_750_Band)
– GSM 710 band (TSPC_Type_GSM_710_Band)
PIXIT statements:
–
Foreseen Final State of the MS
Active state of a call (U10).
Test Procedure
This test procedure is performed three times.
With the MS having a call in progress, the SS sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5, 5ter & 6 on the SACCH. All 8 of the BCCHs "on air" are indicated in the BA. The MS shall send MEASUREMENT REPORTs back to the SS, and it shall be indicated in these that measurement results for the 6 strongest carriers, on which the mobile is asked to report (indicated by the parameter MULTIBAND_REPORTING), have been obtained.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes, including 1 minute for any necessary operator actions.
Expected Sequence
This sequence is performed for execution counter, k = 1, 2, 3.
Since SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5, SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5ter, 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.
