For testing an E-GSM Mobile station (see PICS/PIXIT), the BCCH ARFCN of cell 7 at GSM 900 column shall be 985 (instead of 97). For testing an R-GSM or an ER-GSM Mobile station (see PICS/PIXIT), the BCCH ARFCN od cell 7 at GSM 900 column shall be 965 (instead of 97).

NOTE 4: The SIM should contain a PLMN-Selector that contains only the HPLMN of the MS, and an empty forbidden PLMN list.

26.3.2 MS indication of available PLMNs

26.3.2.1 Test purpose

To verify that a MS can present the available PLMNs to the user when asked to do so in manual mode according to the requirements of 3GPP TS 05.08 and 3GPP TS 02.11.

26.3.2.2 Method of test

a) The MS is switched on, equipped with a SIM containing default values except for those values listed under subclause 26.3.1 (initial conditions).

b) The MS is put into manual network selection mode (see PIXIT).

26.3.2.3 Test requirements

1) On entering manual network selection mode, the MS shall present a list of available PLMNs in all its bands of operation (MCC and MNC values, or any other valid indications, see PIXIT), within 2 minutes. Any PLMN shall only be presented once. The list shall include the MCC and MNC of:

GSM 400, GSM 710, GSM 750, T-GSM 810 , GSM 850 and GSM 900: cells 1 to 7, but not of cell 8.

DCS 1 800: cells 1 to 6, but not of cell 7.

PCS 1 900: cells 1 to 6, but not of cell 7.

Multiband: cells 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 1 or 5 (cell 1 and 5 have the same MCC and MNC), but not of cell 8.

26.3.3 MS will send only if BSS is "on air"

26.3.3.1 Test purpose

To verify that the MS will not produce any RF transmission if no BSS is received.

26.3.3.2 Method of test

a) The RF-signal for the BCCHs of:

GSM 400, GSM 710, GSM 750, T-GSM 810, GSM 850 and GSM 900: cell 1 to 8 is switched off.

DCS 1 800: cell 1 to 7 is switched off.

PCS 1 900: cell 1 to 7 is switched off.

Any Multiband: cell 1 to 8 is switched off.

b) The SS shall wait 20 s to allow the MS to detect the loss of cells.

c) By MMI, an attempt to originate a call is made.

d) By MMI, an attempt to originate an emergency call is made.

26.3.3.3 Test requirements

26.3.3.3.1 General test requirements

1) The MS must not give "service indication".

2) In steps c) and d) the MS shall not produce any RF output.

26.3.3.3.2 Test Procedures

26.3.3.3.2.1 Test Procedure 1

For MS not supporting speech (see PICS) perform steps a, b, and c.

26.3.3.3.2.2 Test Procedure 2

For MS supporting speech (see PICS) perform steps a, b, c and d.

26.3.4 Manual mode of PLMN selection

26.3.4.1 Conformance requirements

In manual mode, the MS can try to obtain normal service on any available VPLMN and it shall try to obtain normal service on a VPLMN if and only if the user makes a manual selection of this VPLMN.

Reference

3GPP TS 03.22 subclause 3.1.

26.3.4.2 Test purpose

To check that in manual mode the MS is able to obtain normal service on a PLMN which is neither the better nor a preferred PLMN and that it tries to obtain service on VPLMN if and only if the user selects it manually.

26.3.4.3 Method of test

Initial conditions

System Simulator:

2 cells, defaults parameter unless otherwise specified.

The SS transmits 2 BCCH carriers in the supported band(s) of the mobile station (for a multiband MS carrier A and B shall be in different bands) with the initial following parameters:

level (dBVemf)

carrier A

PLMN 1

38

carrier B

PLMN 2

33

Mobile Station:

The MS is "idle updated" on PLMN1 (HPLMN) and is in manual mode.

The preferred PLMN list does not contain PLMN2, it contains PLMN 3.

Specific PICS statements:

– Support of multiband functionality (TSPC_Type_MB_Simul)

PIXIT Statements:

– Description of the manual PLMN selector.

Foreseen final state of the MS

The MS is "idle updated".

Test procedure

For the different networks and during the whole test, "IMSI attach" flag is set in the BCCH data.

Carrier A is turned off. The MS does not attempt a location updating during 2 minutes.

Carrier A is turned back on with a different MCC-MNC (indicating PLMN 3) and with a higher level (48 dBmVemf) than PLMN 2. The MS does not attempt a location updating during 2 minutes.

PLMN 2 is selected manually. The MS performs a location updating on PLMN 2. Carrier B is turned off. The MS does not attempt a location updating during 2 minutes.

Maximum duration of test

10 minutes.
