26.19.3a WB AMR / Structured procedures / MS terminated call / early assignment / specified initial codec mode
NOTE: this test is derived from the one described in subclause 26.16.3a and entitled: "Structured procedures / MS terminated call / early assignment/ specified initial codec mode"
26.19.3a.1 Conformance requirement
1) In acceptance to a SETUP message indicating speech, the MS shall indicate and include in the CALL CONFIRMED message all the speech versions that it supports.
2) Upon receipt of the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message specifying using CHx-FR or CHx/HR the Mobile Station continues a mobile terminating call establishment with early assignment of traffic channel:
a) by replying to the ASSIGNMENT command with an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message; and
b) by continuing the call establishment by through connecting TCH in both directions if it supports immediate connect or by sending an ALERTING message otherwise.
3) The ASSIGNMENT COMMAND will specify the subset of codec modes that the MS is allowed to use for the call, the thresholds and the initial codec mode for immediate use by the MS.
4) For speech calls, 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.
CHx: identifies any of the Channel Codec modes.
FR: full rate channel.
HR: half rate channel.

26.19.3a.2 Test purpose
1) To verify that, in acceptance to a SETUP message indicating speech, the MS indicates and includes in the CALL CONFIRMED message all the speech versions that it supports.
2) To verify that upon receipt of the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message specifying using CHx-FR or CHx/HR the Mobile Station continues a mobile terminating call establishment with early assignment of traffic channel:
a) by replying to the ASSIGNMENT command with an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message; and
b) by continuing the call establishment by through connecting TCH in both directions if it supports immediate connect or by sending an ALERTING message otherwise.
3) To verify that upon receipt of an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND with codec mode specified, the MS shall use that specified codec mode.
4) To verify that for speech calls, 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.
26.19.3a.3 Method of Test
Initial Conditions
SS 1 cell, default parameters
MS in MM-state "idle, updated" with valid TMSI and CKSN
Specific PICS statements:
– Support of GSM speech full rate version 4 (O-TCH/WFS).
– Support of GSM speech Half rate version 4 (O-TCH/WHS).
– Support of GSM Speech Full Rate version 5 (TCH/WFS).
– Immediate connect supported for all circuit switched basic services.
PIXIT statements:
– Way to indicate alerting.
– Way to make the MS accept an incoming call after alerting.
Foreseen Final State of MS
"Idle, updated", with TMSI allocated.
Test Procedure
The following test is performed for both channel modes of the multi-rate codec, i.e. full rate and half rate:
A teleservice is selected that is supported by the MS; if the MS supports speech, the selected teleservice is speech. If necessary, the MS is configured for that teleservice.
The MS is paged and the resulting call is established. Having reached the active state, the MS is made to clear the call.
Maximum Duration of Test
3 minutes
Expected Sequence
This test is repeated for M=1, 2, 3, 4 (M=4 only when k=2 and 3).
This test is repeated for
– k =1 if full rate speech version 5 is supported, and
– k = 2 if full rate speech version 4 is supported, and
– k = 3 if half rate speech version 4 is supported.

n: number of access bursts. |
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) access bursts, the SS sends one PHYSICAL INFORMATION message with a Timing Advance as specified in table 1. 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.
Expected Sequence
This sequence is performed for an execution counter M = 1, 2…10 for an MS that supports TCH/F and speech version 4, version 2 and version 1. Steps M=7 and M=8 are performed only if an MS supports full rate speech version 2. Steps M=9 and M=10 are performed only if an MS supports half rate speech version 1.
This sequence is performed for an execution counter M = 1, 2…19 for an MS that supports TCH/F and TCH/H and speech version 4, version 2 and version 1. Steps M=7, M=8, M=15 and M=16 are performed only if an MS supports speech version 2. Steps M=9, M=10, M=17 and M=18 are performed only if an MS supports half rate speech version 1.
This sequence is performed for an execution counter M = 20, 21…30 for an MS that supports TCH/F and speech version 5, version 2 and version 1. Steps M=27 and M=28 are performed only if an MS supports full rate speech version 2. Steps M=29 and M=30 are performed only if an MS supports half rate speech version 1.

Test Procedure
This sequence is performed for execution counter, k = 1, 2.
When k = 1, DTX is not used:
1) User initiates a Mobile Originated call.
2) The network and the MS indicate Bearer capabilities IE with the AMR speech Full Rate (Version 4 or 5) and Half Rate (Version 4).
3) The network performs an assignment on a TCH channel with MultiRate configuration to the MS.
4) The call is maintained during a programmable time without variation of RxLev /RxQual.
5) The SS shall send a properly formatted AMR_CONFIG_REQ message during the call at a programmable time.
6) The MS answers with an ACK_OK message within 3 speech frames
7) The network initiates the call release.
When k = 2, DTX is used:
1) In the serving cell, the DTX indicator is set to "MS shall use discontinuous transmission".
2) User initiates a Mobile Originated call.
3) The network and the MS indicate Bearer capabilities IE with the AMR speech Full Rate (Version 4 or 5) and Half Rate (Version 4).
4) The network performs an assignment on a TCH channel with MultiRate configuration to the MS.
5) The call is maintained during a programmable time without variation of RxLev /RxQual.
6) The SS shall send a properly formatted AMR_CONFIG_REQ message during the call at a programmable time.
7) The MS answers with an ACK_OK message within 3 speech frames.
8) The network initiates the call release.
This test is repeated for
– M =1 if full rate speech version 5 is supported, and
– M = 2 if full rate speech version 4 is supported, and
– M = 3 if half rate speech version 4 is supported.

26.19.9.11 Change of Active Codec Set
NOTE: this test is derived from the one described in subclause 26.16.9.11 and entitled: "Change of Active Codec Set”
26.19.9.11.1 Conformance requirements
AMR codec mode adaptation is done within a set of 4 codec modes. The codec mode set (Active Codec Set) to be used by the BSS and the MS is defined during call setup and/or handover by layer 3 signalling. The ACS can be changed during a call using an AMR_CONFIG_REQ message sent on the RATSCCH.
The AMR_CONFIG_REQ message may be sent by the BTS during a call to change the AMR WB configuration on the radio interface without interruption of the speech transmission.
The ACK_OK message serves as an acknowledgement that a RATSCCH REQ message has been detected, correctly decoded (no CRC error) and that it is defined for the Addressee.
If the ACS consists of four modes, then the complete set of thresholds/hysteresis can not be sent with this message. In that case, all THRESHj and HYSTj fields are reserved for future use and shall be set to "1". Similar, if the BTS has no threshold and hysteresis parameters for the given configuration, then all THRESHj and HYSTj field bits shall be set to "1" to indicate that they are undefined. The THRESH_REQ message shall be used to transmit these parameters at a later point in time. As long as the MS has no defined threshold and hysteresis parameters it shall use the Initial Codec Mode for the Codec Mode Request.
References:
3GPP TS 05.09 clauses 3.2.2.3.5 and 3.4.
26.19.9.11.2 Test purpose
This test shall verify that the MS is able to change its Active Codec Set using the RATSCCH protocol, with change of thresholds, and with non-specification of thresholds.

Test Procedure
1) User initiates a Mobile Originated call.
2) The network and the MS indicate Bearer capabilities IE with the AMR speech Full Rate (Version 4 or 5) and Half Rate (Version 4).
3) The network performs an assignment on a TCH channel with MultiRate configuration to the MS.
4) The SS uses the codec with the highest bit-rate in the current ACS for the Codec Mode Indication, and that with the lowest bit-rate for the Codec Mode Command.
5) The SS sends an AMR_CONFIG_REQ message during the call to reconfigure the Multirate settings.
6) The MS responds to each AMR_CONFIG_REQ message with an ACK_OK message on the RATSCCH.
7) The SS shall ensure that the change occurs correctly for downlink (12 speech frames after AMR_CONFIG_REQ message was sent), and for uplink (12 speech frames after ACK_OK was received) by checking parity of received speech frames, and correct implementation of Uplink Codec mode Request.
8) The SS shall ensure that each of the codecs in the ACS have been implimented correctly by setting the CMC to each of the applicable modes, and ensuring that the UL frames with each CMI are received without parity error. The SS shall then set the CMI and CMC to the codec with highest and lowest bit rates respectively.
9) Steps 4 to 8 shall be repeated for differing AMR_CONFIG_REQ parameters and sending conditions.
10) The network initiates the call release.
This test is repeated for
– M =1 if full rate speech version 5 is supported, and
– M = 2 if full rate speech version 4 is supported, and
– M = 3 if half rate speech version 4 is supported.
In case of full rate speech version 5 and half rate speech version 4,, the maximum number of codec is 3 then the step 27 to 29 are skipped.

26.19.10.1.2 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 switching to this mode.
26.19.10.1.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell, default parameters.
Mobile Station:
The MS is "idle updated", with TMSI allocated.
Specific PICS statements:
– Support of GSM speech full rate version 4 (O-TCH/WFS).
– Support of GSM Speech Full Rate version 5 (TCH/WFS).
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
This test is repeated for
– M =1 if full rate speech version 5 is supported, and
– M = 2 if full rate speech version 4 is supported
Maximum Duration of Test
30 seconds.
