26.12 Enhanced Full Rate signalling

3GPP51.010-1Mobile Station (MS) conformance specificationPart 1: Conformance specificationTS

This subclause only applies to MS supporting enhanced full rate speech.

As an EFR mobile station necessarily supports the speech full rate version 1 or both speech full rate version 1 and speech half rate version 1, conformance requirements of clause 26 fully apply to this mobile.

The purpose of this extra section is to test the different procedures which may be impacted when Enhanced full rate speech codec is used.

26.12.1 EFR signalling/ test of the channel mode modify procedure

NOTE: This test is derived from the tests in subclauses 26.6.7.1 and 26.6.7.2 respectively entitled "Test of the channel mode modify procedure / full rate" and "Test of the channel mode modify procedure / half rate".

26.12.1.1 Conformance requirement

The MS with a TCH/F allocated acknowledges a CHANNEL MODE MODIFY message by sending a CHANNEL MODE MODIFY ACKNOWLEDGE message specifying the new mode and by swithcing to this mode when this one is set to:

– speech full rate or half rate version 1.

– speech full rate or half rate version 2.

– any other mode declared supported by the mobile.

If the mobile station does not support the indicated mode, it shall retain the old mode and return the associated channel mode information in the CHANNEL MODE MODIFY ACKNOWLEDGE message.

26.12.1.2 Test purpose

To verify that the MS with a TCH/F allocated acknowledges a CHANNEL MODE MODIFY message by sending a CHANNEL MODE MODIFY ACKNOWLEDGE message specifying the new mode and by swithcing to this mode when this one is set to:

– speech full rate or half rate version 1.

– speech full rate or half rate version 2.

– any other mode declared supported by the mobile.

To verify that the MS, in an RR connected state, acknowledges a CHANNEL MODE MODIFY message by sending a CHANNEL MODE MODIFY ACKNOWLEDGE message specifying the old mode when the new mode is not declared as supported by the mobile

26.12.1.3 Method of test

Initial Conditions

System Simulator:

1 cell, default parameters.

Mobile Station:

The MS is "idle updated", with TMSI allocated.

Specific PICS statements:

– Speech supported for Full rate version 3 (TSPC_AddInfo_Full_rate_version_3)

– 2.4 k full rate data mode (TSPC__AddInfo_24DataF)

– 4.8 k full rate data mode. (TSPC__AddInfo_48DataF)

– 9.6 k full rate data mode. (TSPC__AddInfo_96Data)

PIXIT statements:

Foreseen Final State of the MS

"Idle, updated", with TMSI allocated.

Test procedure

A Mobile Terminated call is initiated, however following the CHANNEL REQUEST received from the Mobile Station, the SS sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT to the MS commanding it to go to a TCH/F. This sets the Channel Mode automatically to "Signalling Only".

The SS then sends a series of CHANNEL MODE MODIFY messages to the MS. Each time it is checked that the MS responds with a CHANNEL MODE MODIFY ACKNOWLEDGE message specifying:

– the channel mode that has been specified in the CHANNEL MODE MODIFY message, if the MS supports that mode (this mode then becomes the "channel mode in use"). If necessary, the MS shall be correctly configured in order to accept this mode.

– the channel mode that was in use when the CHANNEL MODE MODIFY message has been received, if the MS does not support the channel mode specified in the CHANNEL MODE MODIFY message.

26.12.2 EFR signalling/ tests of handover

With the Handover procedure, it is possible to completely alter the channels allocated to a MS. This makes it possible in particular to switch a call in progress from one cell to another. The procedure is always initiated by the network and with the MS in a dedicated mode.

Subclause 26.12.2.1 contains generic test procedures to be used for executing successful Handover tests dealing with EFR mode.

It deals with EFR signalling in the Handover/successful/active call/non synchronised case.

Table 1 contains a summary of the different combinations of parameters which have to be tested, together with a reference to the appropriate generic test procedure. If a test uses a channel rate which the MS under test does not support, the test shall be skipped.

sv1 stands for speech full/half rate version 1.

sv2 stands for speech full/half rate version 2 (enhanced full rate).

Test Procedure

This procedure is repeated for execution counter M = 1 to 15.

The MS is in the active state (U10) of a call. The SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND on the main DCCH. The MS shall (at the time defined by the Starting Time information element, if included in the message) 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 arbitrarily chosen between values according to table 2 of subclause 26.12.2) access bursts, the SS sends one PHYSICAL INFORMATION message with a Timing Advance as specified in table 1 of subclause 26.12.2. 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.

Maximum Duration of Test

10 minutes, including 1 minute for any necessary operator actions.

Expected Sequence

This sequence is performed for an execution counter M = 1, 2.. 9 for an MS which supports enhanced full speech codec and only TCH/F .

This sequence is performed for an execution counter M = 1, 2.. 15 for an MS which supports enhanced full speech codec and TCH/F and H.

26.12.3 EFR Signalling / Structured procedures / MS originated call / late assignment

NOTE: this test is derived from the one defined in subclause 26.9.3 and entitled "Structured procedures / MS originated call / late assignment".

26.12.3.1 Conformance requirement

1) The MS shall indicate and include in the mobile originating SETUP for speech call all the speech versions that it supports.

2) Upon receipt of the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message specifying either speech full rate version 1 or speech full rate version 2 or speech half rate version 1 (for an MS also supporting half rate), the Mobile Station starts a normal channel assignment procedure. It means that the MS 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.

References

Conformance requirement 1: 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 24.008 subclauses 10.5.4.5 and 10.5.4.5.1, and
3GPP TS 02.06 subclause 3.2.3.

Conformance requirement 2: 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018 subclauses 3.4.3.1 and 3.4.3.2.

Conformance requirement 3: 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 24.008 subclause 5.2.1.6.

26.12.3.2 Test purpose

1) To verify that the MS indicates and includes in the mobile originating SETUP for speech call all the speech versions that it supports.

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 either speech full rate version 1 TCH or speech full rate version 2 TCH or speech half rate version 1 TCH (for an MS also supporting half rate version 1), 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 doesn’t have to transmit or acknowledge an I frame on layer 2 of the FACCH.)

26.12.3.3 Method of test

26.12.5.2 Test purpose

1) To verify that an R97/98 MS supporting speech in the MM state "idle, updated", when made to call the number 112, (for GSM 900 and DCS 1800 MS), or 911 (for GSM 710, GSM 750, T_GSM 810, GSM 850 and PCS 1 900 MS in USA and Canada), or 08 (for GSM 710, GSM 750, T_GSM 810, GSM 850 and PCS 1 900 MS in Mexico) sends a CHANNEL REQUEST message with establishment cause "emergency call".

To verify that an R99 MS supporting speech in the MM state "idle, updated", when made to call the number 112 or 911, 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 authentication and cipher mode setting are performed successfully.

4) To verify that after cipher mode setting acceptance by the SS, the MS sends an EMERGENCY SETUP message.

5) To verify that the EFR mobile station shall both accept channel assignment to a TCH full rate speech versions 1 or 2 and if it supports half rate, in addition it shall accept channel assignment to a TCH half rate speech version 1.

6) To verify that subsequently the MS has through connected the TCH in both directions.

7) To verify that the call is cleared correctly.

Foreseen Final State of the MS

"Idle, updated" with TMSI allocated and camped on cell B.

Test Procedure

The MS is made to initiate a speech call on Cell A. After the SS has sent the CALL PROCEEDING message 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 DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) to cell B. The SS observes the access bursts and after receiving n (n being arbitrarily chosen between values according to table 26.6‑2 of subclause 26.6.5) access bursts, the SS sends one PHYSICAL INFORMATION message with an arbitrarily chosen 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. After the successful handover procedure the SS sends the ALERTING message. The correct alerting indication shall be given to the user (only applicable if the MS supports this feature). The SS sends the CONNECT message indicating that the call has been answered. The EFR speech channel shall be through connected in both directions. The MS shall send then the CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE message as the response on the CONNECT message. Having reached the active state, the call is cleared 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.

This test is applicable to all MS which support EFR speech.

NOTE: This test is derived from the one defined in subclause 26.9.8 and entitled "Directed Retry / MS originated call".

26.12.7.1 Conformance requirements

The MS shall correctly apply the Directed Retry procedure from SDCCH/8 with frequency hopping to TCH/EFR with frequency hopping and starting time in the non-synchronized case during call establishment. The call control entity of the Mobile Station in the "call delivered" state shall, if the MS supports immediate connect, continue the call establishment by through-connecting the EFR traffic channel in both directions, or if the MS does not support immediate connect, send an ALERTING message. The MS indicates acceptance of a MT call by sending CONNECT.

The mobile station shall attach the user connection at latest when sending the CONNECT message, except if there is no compatible radio resource available at this time. In this case the attachment shall be delayed until such a resource becomes available.

Range 512

Both cells send SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 1 messages containing the complete Cell Allocation of the cell.The timebase of Cells A and B shall be such that the edges of their timeslots are not coincident at the antenna connector.

A non-combined SDCCH is used.

Mobile Station:

The MS is in the "idle, updated" state, with a TMSI allocated and camped on cell A.

Specific PICS statements:

– Immediate connect supported for all circuit switched basic services. (TSPC_AddInfo_ImmConn)

PIXIT statements:

– Way to indicate alerting.

– Way to make the MS accept an incoming call after alerting.

Foreseen Final State of the MS

"Idle, updated" with TMSI allocated and camped on cell B.

Test Procedure

The MS is paged on Cell A. The MS responds to the PAGING REQUEST message and establishes a mobile terminated speech call on Cell A. If the MS supports immediate connect, it continues the call establishment by through-connecting the traffic channel in both directions, or if the MS does not support immediate connect, it sends an ALERTING message. The MS indicates acceptance of a MT call by sending CONNECT.

After the MS has sent the CALL CONFIRMED message (if the MS supports immediate connect then the MS sends the CONNECT message after the CALL CONFIRMED message on the old channel) 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 DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) to cell B. The SS observes the access bursts and after receiving n (n being arbitrarily chosen between values according to table 26.6‑2 of subclause 26.6.5) access bursts, the SS sends one PHYSICAL INFORMATION message with an arbitrarily chosen 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. After the successful handover procedure the MS sends the ALERTING message (if the MS runs the immediate connect procedure then the MS does not send an ALERTING message). The correct alerting indication shall be given to the user (only applicable if the MS supports the feature or if the MS is not using the immediate connect procedure). After the MS sent the CONNECT message the EFR speech channel shall be through connected in both directions. The SS sends then the CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE message as the response on the CONNECT message. Having reached the active state, the call is cleared 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.

Maximum Duration of Test
