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 service using symmetric multislot connection.

Specific PICS statements:

– Multislot class (TSPC_Type_Multislot_ClassX)

PIXIT statements:

Foreseen Final State of the MS

Active state of a service using symmetric multislot connection.

Test Procedure

This test procedure is repeated for all the symmetric multislot configurations MS supports.

With the MS having a multislot connection in progress, the SS sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5 & 6 on the SACCH/M. All 7 of the BCCHs "on air" are indicated in the BA (N1 is excluded). The MS shall send MEASUREMENT REPORTs back to the SS on every uplink HSCSD channel, and it shall be indicated in these that measurement results for the 4 strongest carriers have been obtained.

Maximum Duration of Test

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

Expected Sequence

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.

Specific PICS statements:

– Multislot class (TSPC_Type_Multislot_ClassX)

PIXIT statements:

Foreseen Final State of the MS

Active state of a service using asymmetric multislot connection.

Test Procedure

This test procedure is performed twice.

MS having a multislot connection with maximum number of timeslots in the downlink and one slot in uplink direction in progress, the SS sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5 & 6 (on the second iteration of the test two timeslots are used in the downlink and one in uplink direction the SS also sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5bis) on the SACCH/M. All 7 of the BCCHs "on air" are indicated in the BA (N1 is excluded). The MS shall send MEASUREMENT REPORTs back to the SS on every uplink HSCSD channel, and it shall be indicated in these that measurement results for the 4 strongest carriers 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.

Since when k = 1, SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5, SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 6 and MEASUREMENT REPORT (and when k = 2 an additional SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5bis is included) 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.

PIXIT statements:

Foreseen Final State of the MS

Active state of a service using asymmetric multislot connection.

Test Procedure

MS having a multislot connection with maximum number of timeslots in the downlink and one slot in uplink direction in progress, the SS sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5 & 6 on the SACCH/M. The MS shall send MEASUREMENT REPORTs back to the SS on the main channel based on the worst subchannel. The SS allows 2 seconds for the MS to get used to the RF conditions and then records the reported RXQUAL_FULL_SERVING_CELL and RXQUAL_SUB_SERVING_CELL values.

Then an arbitrarily chosen uni-directional subchannel is made the worst from the RX quality point of view by switching off the ciphering in the SS on this channel. The MS shall send MEASUREMENT REPORTs back to the SS on the main channel based on the new worst channel. The SS allows 2 seconds for the MS to get used to the new RF conditions and then records the reported RXQUAL_FULL_SERVING_CELL and RXQUAL_SUB_SERVING_CELL values.

The difference between the RXQUAL values recorded before and after the change in RX quality shall be greater than 3.

Maximum Duration of Test

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

Expected Sequence

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.

26.13.1.2 Multislot signalling / RR / Dedicated assignment

26.13.1.2.1 Multislot signalling / RR / Dedicated assignment / successful case

26.13.1.2.1.1 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.

26.13.1.2.1.2 Test purpose

1) To verify that upon receipt of an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND, the MS switches to the channel(s) defined in the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND, establishes the link and sends an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message. This is tested for an MS supporting TCH and multislot configuration in the special cases of a transition.

1.1) from non-hopping SDCCH to hopping multislot configuration;

1.2) from hopping multislot configuration to non-hopping multislot configuration;

1.3) from non-hopping multislot configuration to hopping multislot configuration;

1.4) from hopping symmetric multislot configuration to hopping asymmetric multislot configuration, resource upgrading used;

NOTE: The step 1.5 is applicable to all MS that supports multislot configuration Tx > 1 and Sum > 3.

1.5) from hopping asymmetric multislot configuration to hopping symmetric multislot configuration;

1.6) from hopping multislot configuration to non-hopping multislot configuration, resources downgrading to one TCH/F;

1.7) from non-hopping multislot configuration with one TCH/F to non-hopping multislot configuration, resource upgrading used;

1.8) from non-hopping multislot configuration to hopping multislot configuration, relocating all channels in multislot configuration call without changing the number of TCH/Fs allocated;

1.9) from hopping multislot configuration to non-hopping multislot configuration, partially relocating the channels in multislot configuration call without changing the number of TCH/Fs allocated;

1.10) from non-hopping multislot configuration to hopping multislot configuration, resource downgrading to one TCH/F;

2) To verify that an MS supporting TCH and multislot configuration, having sent a MM- or CM message that was not acknowledged on L2 before the channel assignment procedure was initiated and before the MS has left the old channel, repeats that message after completion of the assignment procedure without incrementing N(SD). This is tested in the special case of MM message AUTHENTICATION RESPONSE.

3) To verify that an MS supporting TCH and multislot configuration, having received an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND, having sent an SABM frame to establish the main signalling link on the assigned main channel of the multislot configuration, reports the power level(s) specified in the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message, in the uplink SACCH L1 header of the SACCH message sent int the SACCH period following the transmission of the SABM frame.

4) To verify that an MS supporting TCH and multislot configuration, 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.

5) 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. Each time the MS shall switch to the assigned channel, establish the link and send an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message.

Then the SS sends an AUTHENTICATION REQUEST message. The MS shall answer with an AUTHENTICATION RESPONSE message, which is not acknowledged on L2 by the SS. Immediately after the AUTHENTICATION RESPONSE message is received, the SS sends an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND. The MS shall switch to the assigned channel, establish the link with the commanded power level and send as ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message. Then MS shall repeat the AUTHENTICATION RESPONSE message, with the same N(SD) value.

Then the SS sends an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND, which includes a Starting Time IE. The MS shall react as specified above, but this shall be done at the time specified in Starting Time IE.

The SS initiates the channel release procedure and the main signalling link is released.

26.13.1.2.2 Multislot signalling / RR / Dedicated assignment / failure / general case

26.13.1.2.2.1 Conformance requirements

On the mobile station side, if a lower layer failure happens on the new channel before the ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message has been sent, the mobile station deactivates the new channels, reactivates the old channels, reconnects the TCHs if any and triggers the establishment of the main signalling link. It then sends an ASSIGNMENT FAILURE message, cause "protocol error unspecified" on the main DCCH and resumes the normal operation, as if no assignment attempt had occurred. The operational parameters (e.g. ciphering mode) when returning on the old channel are those applied before the procedure.

References

Conformance requirements: 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018 subclauses 3.4.3, 9.1.3 and 9.1.4.

26.13.1.2.2.2 Test purpose

1) To test that, when the MS fails to seize the new channel, the MS reactivates the old channel.

2) This is tested in the special cases of transition:

2.1) from non-hopping SDCCH to hopping symmetric multislot configuration;

2.2) from hopping asymmetric multislot configuration to non-hopping symmetric;

2.3) from non hopping symmetric multislot configuration to non-hopping symmetric multislot configuration, resource upgrading used;

2.4) from non-hopping asymmetric multislot configuration to non-hopping asymmetric multislot configuration, resource upgrading used;

2.5) from hopping symmetric multislot configuration to hopping asymmetric multislot configuration, resource upgrading used;

2.6) from hopping asymmetric multislot configuration to non-hopping multislot configuration, resources downgrading to one TCH/F.

26.13.1.2.2.3 Method of test

Initial Conditions

System Simulator:

1 cell, default parameters.

Mobile Station:

The MS is "idle updated".

Specific PICS statements:

– Multislot class (TSPC_Type_Multislot_ClassX)

PIXIT statements:

Foreseen Final State of the MS

The MS is "idle updated".

Test Procedure

A mobile terminated RR connection is established on an SDCCH. The following is repeated six times with different parameters:

The SS sends an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message allocating a hopping/non-hopping symmetric/asymmetric multislot configuration with or without resource upgrading/downgrading, but does not activate the assigned channels. The MS shall try to activate the new channel (this is not verified) and shall then reactivate the old channel and trigger the establishment of the main signalling link on the old channel. Then the MS shall send an ASSIGNMENT FAILURE.

The SS initiates the channel release procedure and the test ends here.

Maximum Duration of Test

30 s.

Expected Sequence

An MS supporting Multilsot Class 1 need only perform steps 1..7, 11..13 and 34.

26.13.1.3 Test 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.

Subclauses 26.13.1.3.1 to 26.13.1.3.5 contain test procedures to be used for executing successful Handover tests in multislot configuration. Table 26.13.1.3‑1 contains a summary of the different combinations of parameters that have to be tested, together with a reference to the appropriate test procedure.

26.13.1.3.1 Multislot signalling / RR / Handover / successful / active call / non-synchronized

26.13.1.3.1.1 Conformance requirements

1) The MS shall correctly apply the handover procedure in the non-synchronized case when a multislot connection is in progress and when handover is performed from a non-hopping multislot configuration towards a hopping multislot configuration.

References

Conformance requirement 1: 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.

26.13.1.3.1.2 Test purpose

1) To test that when the MS is ordered to make a non-synchronized handover from non-hopping multislot configuration to hopping multislot configuration, it continuously sends access bursts on the main DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) until it receives a PHYSICAL INFORMATION message from the SS.

2) To test that the MS correctly handles the Timing Advance IE in the PHYSICAL INFORMATION message.

3) To test that the MS activates the new channels correctly and transmits the HANDOVER COMPLETE message without undue delay.

The MS is in the active state (U10) of a multislot connection. 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 10-20 access bursts, the SS sends one PHYSICAL INFORMATION message with a Timing Advance arbitrarily selected. The MS shall activate the new channels that belongs to same multislot configuration. The MS shall establish a signalling link. The MS shall be ready to transmit a HANDOVER COMPLETE message, before 500 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.

Maximum Duration of Test

26.13.1.3.2 Multislot signalling / RR / Handover / successful / call under establishment / non synchronized / resource upgrading

26.13.1.3.2.1 Conformance requirements

1) The MS shall correctly apply the handover procedure from non-hopping multislot configuration to non-hopping multislot configuration in the non-synchronized case during call establishment.

2) The MS shall activate the new channels that belongs to same multislot configuration correctly, taking into account upgraded resources.

3) If during call establishment a Layer 3 MM or CC message just sent by the MS is not Layer 2 acknowledged before the channel change caused by the HANDOVER COMMAND message, the MS shall send the Layer 3 message to the new cell, using the same value in the N(SD) field, after the handover procedure.

References

Conformance requirements: 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

26.13.1.3.2.2 Test purpose

1) To test that when the MS is ordered to make a non-synchronized handover from non-hopping multislot configuration to a non-hopping multislot configuration, it continuously sends access bursts on the main DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) until it receives a PHYSICAL INFORMATION message from the SS.

2) To test that the MS correctly takes the values of the Timing Advance information element in the PHYSICAL INFORMATION message into account.

3) To test that the MS activates the new channels that belongs to same multislot configuration correctly, taking into account upgraded resources and transmits the HANDOVER COMPLETE message without undue delay.

4) To test that MS correctly retransmits Layer 3 MM or CC messages, that were not acknowledged by Layer 2 before the Handover, after completion of the Handover.

Test Procedure

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 ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message to MS defining used multislot configuration. Mulstislot configuration with one TCH/F is allocated. MS responds with ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message. Then 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 10-20 access bursts, the SS sends one PHYSICAL INFORMATION message with a Timing Advance as specified in table 26.13.1.3‑1 of subclause 26.13.1.3.6. The MS shall activate the channels that belongs to same multislot configuration correctly, taking into account upgraded resources. The MS shall establish a signalling link. The MS shall be ready to transmit a HANDOVER COMPLETE message before 650 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 defined in 3GPP TS 04.13.

Maximum Duration of Test

26.13.1.3.3 Multislot signalling / RR / Handover / successful / active call / finely synchronized / resource downgrading

26.13.1.3.3.1 Conformance requirements

1) The MS shall correctly apply the handover procedure from multislot configuration with frequency hopping to multislot configuration without frequency hopping in the finely synchronized case when a call is in progress. Resources are downgraded in handover procedure.

References

Conformance requirement 1: 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018 subclauses 3.4.4, 9.1.14, 9.1.15 and 9.1.16.

26.13.1.3.3.2 Test purpose

1) To test that when the MS is ordered to make a finely synchronized handover to a synchronized cell from a hopping multislot configuration to a non-hopping multislot configuration, it sends 4 access bursts on the main DCCH (before completion, additional access bursts may also be sent on the SACCH) and then activates the channels correctly, taking into account power command, downgraded resources and correctly calculating the timing advance to use.

2) To test the MS activates the new channels that belongs to same multislot configuration correctly, taking into account downgraded resources and transmits the HANDOVER COMPLETE message without undue delay.

Test Procedure

The MS is in the active state (U10) of a multislot connection on cell A. Maximum number of channels supported by the MS in a HSCSD configuration, is allocated. The SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND on the main DCCH In the case that the MS supports only 1 timeslot in uplink direction the HANDOVER COMMAND’S Uplink assignment shall be one timeslot. The MS shall send 4 access bursts, in 4 successive slots on the new DCCH to cell B. Before completion, additional access bursts may also be sent on the SACCH. Then the MS shall establish a signalling link indicating the correct Timing Advance and power level and send a HANDOVER COMPLETE message.

The MS shall be "ready to transmit" a HANDOVER COMPLETE message before 650 ms after the end of the HANDOVER COMMAND 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.

Maximum Duration of Test

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

26.13.1.3.4 Multislot signalling / RR / Handover / successful / call under establishment / finely synchronized / relocation of channels

26.13.1.3.4.1 Conformance requirements

1) The MS shall correctly apply the handover procedure from hopping, multislot configuration, finely synchronized case to hopping, multislot configuration, synchronized case during call establishment.

2) The MS shall not change number of channels in multislot configuration but the place of each channel is changed.

3) If during call establishment a Layer 3 MM or CC message just sent by the MS is not Layer 2 acknowledged before the channel change caused by the HANDOVER COMMAND message, the MS shall send the Layer 3 message to the new cell, using the same value in the N(SD) field, after the handover procedure.

References

Conformance requirements: 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.

26.13.1.3.4.2 Test purpose

1) To test that when the MS is ordered to make a finely synchronized handover to a synchronized cell, it sends 4 access bursts on the main DCCH (before completion, additional access bursts may also be sent on the SACCH) and then activates the channel correctly, taking into account power command, new order of channels in multislot configuration and correctly calculating the timing advance to use. Handover is done from hopping multislot configuration to hopping multislot configuration, number of channels in multislot configuration is not changed but the place of each channel is changed.

2) To test that MS correctly retransmits Layer 3 MM or CC messages, that were not acknowledged by Layer 2 before the Handover, after completion of the Handover.

3) To verify the MS transmits the HANDOVER COMPLETE message without undue delay.

Test Procedure

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 ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message to MS defining used multislot configuration. MS responds with ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message. Then the SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND message, ordering the MS to switch to cell B. After the handover timeslots are relocated. Timeslots are also overlapped (this is described in specific message contents). The MS shall then send 4 access bursts, in successive slots on the new DCCH to cell B. Before completion of the 4 access bursts on the new DCCH, additional access bursts may also be sent on the SACCH. Then the MS shall establish a signalling link indicating the correct timing advance and power level (number of channels in multislot configuration is not changed but the place of each channel is changed) and send a HANDOVER COMPLETE message. The MS shall be "ready to transmit" the HANDOVER COMPLETE message before 1500 ms after the end of the HANDOVER COMMAND 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 defined in 3GPP TS 04.13.

26.13.1.3.5 Multislot signalling / RR /Handover / successful / call under establishment / pre-synchronized / resource upgrading

If an MS does not implement the pre-synchronized handover procedure correctly then calls may fail.

If an MS does not report the observed time difference between cells correctly then pseudo synchronized handovers might not be possible for any MS.

26.13.1.3.5.1 Conformance requirements

1) If during call establishment a Layer 3 MM or CC message just sent by the MS is not Layer 2 acknowledged before the channel change caused by the HANDOVER COMMAND message, the MS shall send the Layer 3 message to the new cell, using the same value in the N(SD) field, after the handover procedure.

2) When the Timing Advance information element is included in the HANDOVER COMMAND, the MS shall access the new cell with the timing advance included in the Timing Advance IE.

3) The MS shall be ready to transmit the HANDOVER COMPLETE message within 650 ms of the end of the HANDOVER COMMAND message.

4) When requested to do so in the HANDOVER COMMAND message, the MS shall return the Mobile Time Difference IE in the HANDOVER COMPLETE message indicating the sum of the observed time difference between the cells and the timing advance used on the old cell.

References

Conformance requirement 1: 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018, subclauses 3.1.4.3 and 9.1.5.

Conformance requirement 4: 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018, subclause 10.5.2.39.

26.13.1.3.5.2 Test purpose

1) To verify that when the MS is ordered to make a pre-synchronized handover from hopping multislot configuration to non-hopping multislot configuration, it sends 4 access bursts on the main DCCH (before completion, additional access bursts may also be sent on the SACCH) and then activates the channel correctly and correctly calculates the time to transmit.

2) To test that the MS activates the new channels that belong to same multislot configuration correctly, taking into account upgraded resources and transmits the HANDOVER COMPLETE message without undue delay.

26.13.1.3.5.3 Method of test

Initial Conditions

System Simulator:

– 2 cells, A and B, with same LAI, default parameters, except:

– Early classmark sending enabled in SI3 rest octets.

– The BCCH of cell A is sent k bit periods before the BCCH of cell B.

Mobile Station:

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

Specific PICS statements:

– Multislot class (TSPC_Type_Multislot_ClassX)

PIXIT statements:

Foreseen Final State of the MS

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

Test Procedure

A Mobile Originating Call is initiated. The SS sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message allocating an SDCCH/4. The MS is commanded to use a timing advance of y bit periods 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 ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message to MS specifying used multislot configuration. MS responds by sending ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message to SS. Then the SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND, ordering the MS to switch to cell B. The MS shall then send 4 access bursts, at the commanded power level, in 4 successive slots of the new DCCH to cell B. Before completion of the 4 access bursts on the new DCCH, additional access bursts may also be sent on the SACCH. Then the MS shall establish a signalling link using the correct timing advance and send a HANDOVER COMPLETE message. The MS shall be ready to transmit the HANDOVER COMPLETE message before 650 ms after the end of the HANDOVER COMMAND 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 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.

26.13.1.4 Multislot signalling / RR / Test of the channel mode modify procedure

26.13.1.4.1 Conformance requirements

1) When the MS has received the CHANNEL MODE MODIFY message, the mobile station changes the mode for the indicated channel and then replies by a CHANNEL MODE MODIFY ACKNOWLEDGE message indicating the new channel mode.

2) 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.

References

Conformance requirement: 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018, subclauses 3.4.6 and 9.1.5 and 9.1.6.

26.13.1.4.2 Test purpose

1) To verify that the MS, in an RR connected state, acknowledges a CHANNEL MODE MODIFY message by sending a CHANNEL MODE MODIFY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT message specifying and switching to the correct mode for the channels in a multislot configuration:

– the new mode if that mode is supported;

– the old mode if the new mode is not supported.

2) This shall be verified for all existing channel modes:

26.13.1.4.3 Method of test

Initial Conditions

System Simulator:

– 1 cells, default parameters except:

– Early classmark sending enabled in SI3 rest octets

Mobile Station:

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

Specific PICS statements:

  • Multislot class (TSPC_Type_Multislot_ClassX)

PIXIT statements:

supported radio interface rates: 12kbps, 6kbps, 3,6kbps

Foreseen final state of the MS

"Idle, updated " with TMSI allocated.

Test procedure

1) A Mobile Terminated multislot connection 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".

2) 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:

2.1) 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");

2.2) 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.

Maximum duration of test

3 minutes.

26.13.1.5 Multislot signalling / RR / Early classmark sending

26.13.1.5.1 Conformance requirement

1) MS uses Controlled Early Classmark Sending procedure when indicated in SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 3 (ES ind bit in SI 3 Rest Octets).

1.1) If Controlled Early Classmark Sending is not allowed by network the MS does not send a CLASSMARK CHANGE message.

1.2) If Controlled Early Classmark Sending is allowed by network the MS shall send its multislot class in Mobile Station Classmark 3 in a CLASSMARK CHANGE message.

Reference

Conformance requirement 1: 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018 subclauses 3.3.1.1.4 and 3.4.10.

26.13.1.5.2 Test purpose

1) To verify that the MS sends its multislot class in Mobile Station Classmark 3 using Controlled Early Classmark Sending procedure if allowed by network.

2) To verify that the MS does not perform Early Classmark Sending if it is not allowed.

26.13.1.5.3 Method of test

Initial conditions

Mobile Station:

– The MS is in MM-state "idle, updated" with valid TMSI and CKSN.

System Simulator:

– 1 cell, default parameters except:

– Early classmark sending enabled in SI3 rest octets

Specific PICS statements:

PIXIT statements:

Foreseen final state of the MS

MS is in MM-state "idle, updated" with valid TMSI and CKSN.

Test procedure

The MS is made to initiate a multislot connection. In the first case Controlled Early Classmark Sending procedure is allowed by network, the MS performs Early Classmark sending. In the second case Controlled Early Classmark Sending procedure is not allowed by network, the MS does not send a CLASSMARK CHANGE message.

SS checks Controlled Early Classmark Change procedure from CLASSMARK CHANGE message. If Controlled Early Classmark Sending procedure is allowed by the network ES ind bit in SI 3 Resr Octets is set. If this bit is not set SS sends CHANNEL RELEASE and the main signalling link is released. If ES ind bit was set then the MS’s multislot class is sent in Mobile Station Classmark 3 (octet 4) in the CLASSMARK CHANGE message.

Maximum duration of test

2 minutes.

Expected sequence

This test is executed with the following sequences in allowed and not allowed cases respectively.

After the first sequence Early classmark sending is disabled from SI3 rest octets.
