26.15.2 SoLSA signalling / RR

26.15.2.1 SoLSA signalling / RR / classmark interrogation

This procedure allows the network to request the MS to supply all its classmark information to the network.

Networks may systematically use this procedure (e.g. during location updating) and, it if is incorrectly implemented in the MS, the basic connection establishment procedure may systematically fail.

26.15.2.1.1 Conformance requirements

On receipt of a CLASSMARK ENQUIRY message, the MS sends a CLASSMARK CHANGE message to the network containing the Mobile Station Classmark 2 information element and depending upon the contents of this information element, possibly the Mobile Station Classmark 3 information element.

3GPP TS 04.13 subclause 5.2.9.

26.15.2.1.2 Test purpose

To verify that if the network requests the SoLSA MS to supply all its classmark information then this information is communicated on the DCCH to the network.

Initial Conditions

System Simulator:

1 cell, default parameters.

Mobile Station:

"Idle, updated", with TMSI allocated.

Specific PICS statements:

PIXIT statements:

Foreseen Final State of the MS

"Idle, updated", with TMSI allocated.

Test Procedure

The MS is switched off (or has its power removed).

The SS then sets the IMSI attach-detach flag in the SYSTEM INFORMATION messages so that the MS shall perform a location update when switched on.

The MS is switched on (or its power is re-applied). The MS then initiates a location update attempt. After the succesful completion of the location update procedure (with TMSI reallocation) the SS transmits a CLASSMARK ENQUIRY message. The MS shall be ready to transmit the CLASSMARK CHANGE message before 300 ms after the end of the CLASSMARK ENQUIRY message.

The term "ready to transmit" is defined in 3GPP TS 04.13.

Then the channel is released.

Maximum Duration of Test

2 minutes.

26.15.3 SoLSA signalling / MM

26.15.3.1 SoLSA signalling / MM / location updating

This procedure is used to register the MS in the network. If it is not performed correctly, no call can be established.

26.15.3.1.1 Location updating / accepted

To inform the network of the MSs additional SoLSA capability, the SoLSA MS has to send a CLASSMARK CHANGE as soon as possible during a normal location update procedure.

26.15.3.1.1.1 Conformance requirement

If the network accepts a location updating from the Mobile where the ES IND bit is set to 1 in the Classmark 1 and the Classmark 2 information element, the SoLSA bit is set to 1 in the classmark 2 information element and the Early Classmark Sending 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.

The Mobile Station shall, after receiving a Location updating Accept message, store the relevant received informations and answer correctly to a paging request from the network.

This test is applicable for any SoLSA MSs with an LSA SIM supporting the SoLSA operations.

26.15.3.1.1.2 Test purpose

To verify that the SoLSA MS supports "early classmark sending procedure", e.g. sending information to the network about SoLSA support during location update procedure.

26.15.3.1.1.3 Method of test

Initial conditions:

System Simulator:

Two cells, A and B, belonging to different location areas with location area identification a and b of the same PLMN.

IMSI attach/detach is allowed in both cells.

The T3212 time-out value is 1/10 hour in both cells.

Mobile Station:

The MS has a valid TMSI (=TMSI1) and CKSN (=CKSN1). It is "idle updated" on cell A.

Specific PICS statements:

PIXIT statements:

Foreseen final state of the MS

The MS has no valid TMSI. It has valid CKSN and Kc. It is "idle, updated" on cell B.

Test Procedure

The MS is made to select cell B. A normal location updating with TMSI reallocation is performed in cell B. The channel is released. The SS checks, by paging, that the MS has stored the newly allocated TMSI. The channel is released. The MS is made to select cell A. A normal location updating is performed in cell A. The LOCATION UPDATING ACCEPT message contains neither IMSI nor TMSI. The SS checks, by paging, that the MS has kept the old TMSI. The channel is released. The MS is made to select cell B. A normal location updating is performed in cell B. The LOCATION UPDATING ACCEPT message contains an IMSI. The SS checks, by paging, that the MS has deleted its TMSI and responds to paging with IMSI.

26.15.3.2 SoLSA signalling / MM / MM information

26.15.3.2.1 General remark

1. The network has total control of the LSA indication in active mode.

2. Whatever the System Informations are, the LSA ID transmitted in the MM Information message has higher priority.

3. The indication of the current LSA in active mode is independent from the setting of the configurations parameters "LSA indication in idle mode" and "idle mode support" stored in the SIM in EFSLL (see 3GPP TS 11.11, subclause 10.4.1.2).

26.15.3.2.2 Definition

The SoLSA MS in active mode may inform the user whether or not the serving cell is an LSA cell. The information about a serving cell is indicated in the display of the SoLSA MS.

The change out of an LSA or into an LSA may be indicated by the SoLSA MS, e.g. using a beep.

26.15.3.2.3 Conformance requirement

1. It shall be possible to assign a subscriber defined identifier by the operator to each LSA (alphanumeric text up to 10 characters), which can be provided to the user in idle and active mode. As an MS manufacturer option the user may assign an icon or another form of indication to each LSA.

It shall be possible to indicate a change of localised service area during idle and active mode.

The indication is a network option (activated/deactivated by the network).

2. The network decides when to send a notification to the MS about a change of current LSA. The information will be sent from the MSC to the MS and will contain the LSA ID. This is done by adding the LSA ID of the current cell to the MM INFORMATION message. If no LSA ID is included in the MM Information message the MS shall assume that the current cell does not belong to any of the allowed LSAs for the subscriber.

The indication towards the user is optional and can be heard as e.g. a beep in the receiver or by displaying the stored LSA name that corresponds to the received LSA ID.

3. The MM INFORMATION message support is optional in the network. The MM information procedure may be invoked by the network at any time during an RR connection.

The MM information procedure consists only of the MM INFORMATION message sent from the network to the mobile station. During an RR connection, the network shall send none, one, or more MM INFORMATION messages to the mobile station. If more than one MM INFORMATION message is sent, the messages need not have the same content.

NOTE: The network may be able to select particular instants where it can send the MM INFORMATION message without adding delay to, or interrupting, any CM layer transaction, e.g. immediately after the AUTHENTICATION REQUEST message.

When the mobile station (supporting the MM INFORMATION message) receives an MM INFORMATION message, it shall accept the message and optionally use the contents to update appropriate information stored within the mobile station.

If the mobile station does not support the MM INFORMATION message the mobile station shall ignore the contents of the message and return an MM STATUS message with cause #97.

4. This IE (LSA Identity IE) may be sent by the network. The contents of this IE indicate the LSA identity of the serving cell.

5. The form of display and indication are left to manufacturer’s choice.

6. If the Length of the LSA Identifier content is equal to 0, then no LSA ID is included. This is used to indicate that the MS has moved to an area where there is no LSA available for that MS.

26.15.4.1.2 Test purpose

To verify that the SoLSA MS supports "early classmark sending procedure", e.g. sending information to the network about SoLSA support during the re-establishment of an ongoing call.

26.15.4.1.3 Method of test

Initial conditions

System Simulator:

The SS simulates cells A and B. The LAC of cell A is different from the LAC of cell B. The PLMN identities of cell A and B are equal.

The call re-establishment parameter concerning cell A is set to an arbitrary value.

Cell B is not barred, the RACH control parameters information element sent in SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 1 to 4 messages of cell A and B specifies "call reestablishment allowed in the cell", the NCC of cell B is indicated as permitted in the PLMN permitted information element of SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 2 and 6 messages of cell A. Cell B is indicated as a neighbour cell of cell A in SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 2 and 5 messages of cell A. Cell reselect hysteresis parameter of cell A is set to zero.

Mobile Station:

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

Specific PICS statements:

PIXIT statements:

Foreseen final state of the MS

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

Maximum duration of test

1 minute.

Test procedure

The MS is brought to active state by using procedure 26.9.2, "structured procedures, MS originated call, early assignment". The RF level of cell A is lowered so that cell B is to be selected (when the MS performs re-establishment after radio link failure), while keeping the C1 and C2 of cell A greater than zero. SS waits for at least 5 seconds. Then the SS stops transmission on the TCH/SACCH. The MS shall re-establish the call on cell B using a CM RE-ESTABLISHMENT message. The SS performs ciphering mode setting and assignment procedures. The MS shall through-connect the appropriate bearer channel. Then, the call is cleared by the SS.

26.15.5.5.1 Conformance requirements

1) The MS in the "idle, updated" state, as after a successful location update, after the number 112 (for GSM 900 and 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) 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 CKSN and TMSI , with CM Service Type "emergency call establishment" and indicating early sending of classmark change and SoLSA support.

3) After the initial message the SoLSA MS shall send a CLASSMARK CHANGE message in the uplink block followed direct after the Layer 2 UA message sent from the network. The CLASSMARK CHANGE message shall contain information elements Mobile Station Classmark 2.

4) Authentication and cipher mode setting shall be performed successfully.

5) After cipher mode setting acceptance by the network, the MS shall send an EMERGENCY SETUP message.

6), 7) The emergency call shall be correctly established. The assignment procedure shall be correctly performed.

8) 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.

9) The call shall be cleared correctly.

26.15.5.5.3 Method of test

Initial Conditions

System Simulator:

1 cell, default parameters.

Mobile Station:

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

Specific PICS statements:

– Speech supported for Half rate version 1 (GSM HR) (TSPC_AddInfo_Half_rate_version_1)

– Speech supported for Half rate version 3 (GSM HR) (TSPC_AddInfo_Half_rate_version_3)

– Use of R99 Emergency numbers (TSPC_R99_Emerg)

PIXIT statements:

– .

Foreseen Final State of the MS

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

Test procedure

The MS is made to initiate an emergency call. The call is established with late assignment. Having reached the active state, the call is cleared by the SS.
