26.14.1.1.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell default parameters for ASCI testing
Mobile Station:
The MS is in MM-state "idle, updated". No automatic answering is configured.
Specific PICS statements:
– Support VGCS talking (TSPC_AddInfo_VGCS_Talking)
– Support VBS originating (TSPC_AddInfo_VBS_Originating)
PIXIT Statements:
– Way to configure VGCS or VBS.
– Way to indicate a call notification.
– Way to accept a VGCS or VBS.
– Way to verify the downlink speech path.
Foreseen Final State of the MS
"Idle, updated".
Test Procedure
The MS is in idle mode, the SS sends NOTIFICATION/NCH containing VGCS/VBS channel description and VGCS/VBS call reference not active in the MS. It is checked that the MS ignores the message. The SS sends NOTIFICATION/NCH containing VGCS/VBS channel description and VGCS/VBS call reference active in the MS ("good reference"). It is checked whether the MS indicates correctly the notified group call reference(s) and joins VGCS/VBS call on request of responding to the notification. The group call is terminated. The SS sends NOTIFICATION/NCH which contains the "good reference" but no VGCS/VBS channel description. It is checked that the MS indicates correctly the notified group call reference(s) and establishes a RR connection to respond to the notification on request of responding to the call, then joins the call. The group call is terminated.
The MS is brought to group receive mode or CC state U10 or dedicated mode with signalling connection or group transmit mode (for k=1, 2, 3, 4 respectively), the SS sends NOTIFICATION/FACCH containing the "good reference" but no VGCS/VBS channel description. It is checked that the MS gives correct notified group call reference(s) and on request of responding to the call, establishes a RR connection to respond to the notification and joins the call. The call is terminated.
Finally, the MS is brought to group receive mode or CC state U10 or dedicated mode with signalling connection or group transmit mode (for k=1, 2, 3, 4 respectively), the SS sends NOTIFICATION/FACCH containing the "good reference" and VGCS/VBS channel description. It is checked the MS indicates correctly the notified group call reference(s) and joins VGCS/VBS call on request of responding to the notification. The group call is terminated.
Maximum Duration of Test
10 minutes excluding operator operations.
Expected Sequence
Test steps 20 to 50 are executed for k=1, 2, 3, 4 conditionally. If the MS does not support CC state U10, test steps 20 to 50 are not executed for k=2. If the MS does not support VGCS talking or VBS originating, test steps 20 to 50 are not executed for k=4.

Test Procedure
The MS is in idle mode, the SS sends SI 1 containing the 1st NCH block number = 3 (B3) and No. of blocks = 1. After the MS decodes the SI 1, the SS sends on the block B1 NOTIFICATION/NCH containing VGCS/VBS channel description and VGCS/VBS call reference active in the MS. It is checked that the MS ignores the notification. The SS stops sending NOTIFICATION/NCH on block B1, but sends on block B3 containing VGCS/VBS channel description and VGCS/VBS call reference active in the MS. It is checked that the MS indicates correctly the notified group call reference(s).
The SS stops sending NOTIFICATION/NCH on block B3 and changes SI 1 containing The 1st NCH block number = 1 and No. of blocks = 2. After the MS decodes the SI the SS sends NOTIFICATION/NCH on the block B2 containing VGCS/VBS channel description and VGCS/VBS call reference active in the MS. It is checked that the MS indicates correctly the notified group call reference(s).
The SS stops sending NOTIFICATION/NCH on block B2 and changes the CCCH configuration with combined SDCCH, BS_AG_BLKS_RES = 1. Wait 30 s. and then sends NOTIFICATION/NCH on the block B2 containing VGCS/VBS channel description and VGCS/VBS call reference active in the MS. It is checked that the MS ignores the notification.

26.14.1.3 VGCS-VBS / Notification / Reduced NCH monitoring
26.14.1.3.1 Conformance requirement
1. When the mobile station in idle mode enters a cell and deduces from the BCCH that an NCH is present, it shall read the NCH until it has received at least two messages on the NCH indicating NLN, with the two last received NLN being identical. Then it may stop reading the NCH until it receives on the PCH an NLN(PCH) different from the last previously received NLN.
2. If the reduced NCH monitoring mechanism is used on the NCH, when the MS in group receive mode or group transmit mode enters a cell, it should read the NCH until it has received at least two messages on the NCH indicating NLN, with the two last received NLN being identical. Then it should stop reading the NCH until it receives on the SACCH an NLN(SACCH) different from the last previously received NLN.
3. A change of the NLN status field indicates a change of information on the NCH which is not related to new calls.

To verify that:
1. when the MS in idle mode on a cell where a reduced monitoring is activated, it reads the NCH until it has received at least two NLN (NCH) being identical. Then it stops reading the NCH until it receives a PAGING REQUEST message of any TYPE containing an NLN (PCH) different from the last previously received NLN.
2. after the MS entered in group receive mode or group transmit mode it continues the reduced monitoring until it receives SI6 containing an NLN (SACCH) different from the last previously received NLN (SACCH).
3. when the MS in group receive mode or group transmit mode enters a new cell, it reads the NCH until it has received at least two messages on the NCH indicating NLN, with the two last received NLN being identical. Then it stops reading the NCH until it receives SI6 on the SACCH an NLN(SACCH) different from the last previously received NLN.

Foreseen Final State of the MS
"Idle, updated" on cell B.
Test Procedure
The MS is in idle mode on cell A. The SS sends NOTIFICATION/NCH with NLN (value is ’00’B) but not addressing the MS on cell A. After at least 2 such messages have been received by the MS, the SS sends another NLN value (’01’B) in the NOTIFICATION/NCH message which contains call reference active in the MS and VGCS/VBS channel description. It is checked that the MS does not indicate the notification. The SS sends PAGING REQUEST TYPE1 message on the MS’s paging sub-channel on cell A with NLN(PCH) containing value ’01’B. It is checked that the MS indicates the notification to the user. The MS rejects the VGCS/VBS call on request from MMI. The same procedure is repeated once except SS sends PAGING REQUEST TYPE2 message instead of PAGING REQUEST TYPE1. The NLN value is set to ’10’B.
Change the RF levels of cell A and cell B so that the MS re-selects cell B. The same test procedure as described above is repeated once except the SS sends PAGING REQUEST TYPE 3 message on the MS’s paging sub-channel on cell B. The NLN value is set to ’11’B. The MS joins the VGCS/VBS call on request from MMI and is in group receive mode on cell B.
On cell A the SS sends NOTIFICATION/NCH containing VGCS/VBS channel description, the same call reference and NLN value as those of cell B. Adjust the RF levels of cell A and cell B so that cell B keeps suitable but the MS re-selects cell A. The MS is still in group receive mode. After the MS has consecutively received at least two identical NLN (NCH) the SS sends NOTIFICATION/NCH containing an NLN valued ’01’B, VGCS/VBS channel description and call reference active in the MS. It is checked that the MS does not indicate the notification. The SS changes NLN value to ’01’B in SI 6 message. It is checked that the MS indicates the notification to the user. The call is rejected. The SS changes NLN status value to ‘1’B in SI 6 message. It is checked that the MS does not indicate any new notification to the user.
The MS is brought into group transmit mode and handed over to cell B. After at least two NOTIFICATION/NCH messages received on cell B, the SS sends an another NOTIFICATION/NCH message with NLN value (’00’B) and addressing the MS on cell B. It is checked that the MS does not indicate the notification. The SS changes NLN value to ’00’B in SI 6 message. It is checked that the MS indicates the notification to the user.

26.14.1.4 VGCS-VBS / Notification / Limited Service state
26.14.1.4.1 Conformance requirement
In state MM IDLE and service state LIMITED SERVICE:
1. The MS shall indicate notifications to the GCC or BCC sub-layer for which a channel description has been received in the notification by the RR sub-layer.
2. The MS shall reject requests of the GCC or BCC sub-layer to respond to notifications for which no channel description has been received in the notification by the RR sub-layer.
3. The MS shall request the RR sub-layer to receive a voice group or broadcast call if the GCC or BCC sublayer requests the reception of a voice group or broadcast call for which a channel description has been received in the notification by the RR sublayer and then go to the service state RECEIVING GROUP CALL (LIMITED SERVICE).
4. The MS shall reject any request of establishing a group call.
Reference(s)
3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 24.008 subclause 4.2.2.3.
26.14.1.4.2 Test purpose
To verify that while in state MM IDLE and service state LIMITED SERVICE:
1. The MS rejects requests from user to respond to notifications for which no channel description has been received in the notification by the RR sub-layer.
2. The MS indicates notifications for which a channel description has been received in the notification.
3. The MS accepts user requests to respond to notifications for which channel description has been received in the notification and goes to the service state RECEIVING GROUP CALL (LIMITED SERVICE).
4. The MS rejects any request of establishing a group call.
26.14.1.4.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell with default parameters for ASCI testing.
Mobile Station:
The MS, with SIM, is in MM-state "idle, limited service" because LA not allowed.
Specific PICS statements:
– Support VGCS originating (TSPC_AddInfo_VGCS_Originating)
– Support VBS originating (TSPC_AddInfo_VBS_Originating)
PIXIT Statements:
– Way to configure VGCS or VBS.
– Way to indicate a call notification.
– Way to accept VGCS or VBS call.
– Way to initiate a normal VGCS/VBS call.
Foreseen Final State of the MS
"limited service" mode.
Test Procedure
The MS, with SIM, is in MM idle limited service state because LA is not allowed. The SS sends NOTIFICATION/NCH message containing call reference active in the MS but no VGCS/VBS channel description. It is checked that the MS indicates the notification and rejects the request of joining the notified call. The SS sends NOTIFICATION/NCH message containing call reference active in the MS and VGCS/VBS channel description. It is checked that the MS indicates the notification, and joins the notified call on request. If the MS supports VGCS/VBS originating, the MS is requested to initiate VGCS/VBS call. It is checked that the MS rejects the request.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes.
