26.6.2 Test of paging
3GPP51.010-1Mobile Station (MS) conformance specificationPart 1: Conformance specificationTS
The Paging procedure is used by the network to cause the Mobile Station to establish a radio connection. Normally the Mobile Station listens to its paging subchannel, but this can be modified by the use of different page modes. The correct implementation of the paging procedure in the Mobile Station is essential for the basic establishment of a connection.
26.6.2.1 Normal paging
26.6.2.1.1 Paging / normal / type 1
26.6.2.1.1.1 Conformance requirements
1. The MS shall respond correctly to various PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 messages, when the page mode is set to normal paging, in the following cases:
1.1 The MS is addressed with its IMSI in the first Mobile Identity field. The optional Mobile Identity field is not present.
1.2. The MS is addressed with its TMSI in the first Mobile Identity field. The optional Mobile Identity field specifies an IMSI different from that of the MS.
1.3. The first Mobile Identity field specifies a TMSI different from that of the MS. The optional Mobile Identity field addresses the MS by its IMSI.
1.4 The first Mobile Identity field specifies a TMSI different from that of the MS. The optional Mobile Identity field contains the correct TMSI of the MS.
2. An MS shall ignore PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 messages with incorrect information, when the page mode is set to normal paging, in the following case:
2.1 The MS is addressed with its TMSI in the first Mobile Identity field, but the type of identity in this field is set to "No Identity". The optional Mobile Identity field is not present.

26.6.2.1.1.2 Test purpose
To test that the MS is able to determine its CCCH group and paging group correctly and that the MS responds correctly to various PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 messages when the page mode is set to normal paging. All valid ways of addressing the MS are tested. It is tested that the MS responds with the same type of identity that is used in the PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 message. It is tested that the MS ignores fill paging.
26.6.2.1.1.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell, Max-Retrans = 2, a legal combination of CCCH_CONF, BS_AG_BLKS_RES and BS_PA_MFRMS is chosen arbitrarily by the SS.
Mobile Station:
The MS is in the "idle, updated" state, with a TMSI allocated.
Specific PICS statements
–
PIXIT statements
–
Foreseen Final State of the MS
"Idle, updated", with TMSI allocated.
Test Procedure
The SS pages the MS 5 times with different PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 messages on the paging subchannel which corresponds to the MS’s IMSI.
In the first 4 cases, where the MS is addressed by its IMSI or its TMSI, the MS shall answer to the paging by sending CHANNEL REQUESTs. The SS responds to the second CHANNEL REQUEST by assigning a channel, and the MS shall then send a correct PAGING RESPONSE. The SS then releases the channel.
In the last case, it is tested that the MS does not answer to paging that does not address it.
Maximum Duration of Test
2 minutes.

Test Procedure
The SS sends a PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 message not addressing the MS under test but on the paging subchannel which corresponds to the MS’s identity. The page mode is set to "extended paging". In the next but one paging subblock on the same CCCH the SS sends a PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 message specifying an arbitrarily chosen page mode and addressing the MS by its TMSI. The MS shall respond to the last page by sending CHANNEL REQUESTs. The SS responds to the second CHANNEL REQUEST with an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT message.
The SS then sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT on the paging subchannel which corresponds to the MS’s identity. The random reference is different to those used by the Mobile Station in the last two CHANNEL REQUEST messages. (Phase 2 requires a Mobile Station to react on an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT after a rejection.) The page mode is again set to "extended paging". In the next but one paging subblock on the same CCCH the SS sends a PAGING REQUEST TYPE 2 message specifying an arbitrarily chosen page mode and addressing the MS by its TMSI. The MS shall respond with CHANNEL REQUESTs. The SS responds to the second CHANNEL REQUEST with an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT message.
The SS then sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT EXTENDED on the paging subchannel which corresponds to the MS’s identity. The random references are different to those used by the Mobile Station in the last three CHANNEL REQUEST messages. The page mode is again set to "extended paging". In the next but one paging subblock on the same CCCH the SS sends a PAGING REQUEST TYPE 3 message specifying an arbitrarily chosen page mode and addressing the MS by its TMSI. The MS shall respond with CHANNEL REQUESTs. The SS responds to the second CHANNEL REQUEST with an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT message.
The SS then sends a PAGING REQUEST TYPE 3 message not addressing the MS under test but on the paging subchannel which corresponds to the MS’s identity. The page mode is set to "extended paging". In the next but one paging subblock on the same CCCH the SS sends a PAGING REQUEST TYPE 2 message specifying an arbitrarily chosen page mode and addressing the MS by its IMSI. The MS shall respond to the last page by sending CHANNEL REQUESTs. The SS responds to the second CHANNEL REQUEST with an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT message.

26.6.2.3 Paging / reorganization
26.6.2.3.1 Paging / reorganization / procedure 1
26.6.2.3.1.1 Conformance requirements
1. An MS, after reception of a message with page mode set to "paging reorganization", shall answer to paging messages (with page mode set to "normal paging") sent on its old CCCH in paging blocks which do not belong to the MS’s paging sub-channel.
2. When the network changes the paging group of the MS by modifying BCCH parameters (to CCCH_CONF set to "1 basic physical channel used for CCCH combined with SDCCH", and BS_AG_BLKS_RES set to "2 blocks reserved for access grant"), the MS shall calculate its new paging group and answer to paging messages on its new paging subchannel.
3. When the network changes the paging group of the MS by modifying BCCH parameters (to CCCH_CONF set to "2 basic physical channels used for CCCH, not combined with SDCCHs" and BS_AG_BLKS_RES set to "2 blocks reserved for access grant"), the MS shall calculate its new paging group and answer to paging messages on its new paging subchannel.

26.6.2.3.1.2 Test purpose
To test that the MS correctly determines its new paging subchannel when the CCCH structure is changed from non-combined to combined and when the number of CCCHs is changed.
26.6.2.3.1.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell, Max-Retrans = 2, CCCH_CONF set to "1 basic physical channel used for CCCH, not combined with SDCCHs", a legal combination of BS_AG_BLKS_RES and BS_PA_MFRMS is chosen arbitrarily by the SS, with the exception that BS_PA_MFRMS shall not be set to 9.
Mobile Station:
The MS is in the "idle, updated" state, with a TMSI allocated. The IMSI of the MS is from a defined/default range that ensures its paging channel changes when the broadcast parameters are changed.
Specific PICS statements
–
PIXIT statements
–
Foreseen Final State of the MS
"Idle, updated", with TMSI allocated.
Test Procedure
The SS sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT EXTENDED message on the MS’s paging subchannel, with the page mode element set to "paging reorganization" and Request References that do not pertain to the MS. Before the MS’s original paging subchannel re-occurs, the SS pages it on the CCCH corresponding to the Mobile Station’s IMSI with a PAGING REQUEST TYPE 2 message (page mode = normal paging) containing the MS’s TMSI in some paging block which does not belong to the Mobile Station’s paging subchannel. The MS shall respond by sending CHANNEL REQUESTs. The SS responds to the second CHANNEL REQUEST with an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT (in order to avoid a cell reselection) on an arbitrarily selected paging subchannel.
Then the SS starts sending messages (PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 or PAGING REQUEST TYPE 2 or PAGING REQUEST TYPE 3 or IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT or IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT EXTENDED or IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT) with page mode set to "paging reorganization" on all paging subchannels.
After 5 s (to ensure T3126 expires) the SS pages the MS with its TMSI on an arbitrarily selected paging subchannel (on the CCCH corresponding to the Mobile Station’s IMSI). The MS shall respond by sending CHANNEL REQUESTs. The SS responds to the second CHANNEL REQUEST with an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT (in order to avoid a cell reselection).
The SS changes the paging parameters.
Then the SS sets the page mode to "normal paging".
The SS then waits for the duration of five 51-TDMA multiframes (4 to allow the MS to read all the system information type 1, 2, 3, and 4 messages on the BCCH, and one to calculate the new paging group). Not before 5 s after the last IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT message addressing the MS (to ensure T3126 expires), the MS is paged with a PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 on its new paging subchannel. The MS shall respond by sending CHANNEL REQUESTs. The SS responds to the second CHANNEL REQUEST with an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT (in order to avoid a cell reselection) and then waits 5 s (to ensure T3126 expires).
Then the MS is paged with a PAGING REQUEST TYPE 2 on its new paging subchannel. The MS shall respond by sending CHANNEL REQUESTs. The SS responds to the second CHANNEL REQUEST with an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT (in order to avoid a cell reselection).
Maximum Duration of Test
60 s.

26.6.2.5 Paging / multislot CCCH
26.6.2.5.1 Conformance requirements
The MS shall respond correctly to a PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 message, when the page mode is set to normal paging, when a multislot CCCH is used and the MS is addressed with its IMSI in the first Mobile Identity field, the optional Mobile Identity field being not present.
References
3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018, subclause 3.3.2, 3GPP TS 05.02 subclause 6.5.
26.6.2.5.2 Test purpose
1) To test that the MS is able to determine its CCCH group and paging group correctly in the case of a CCCH configuration on more than one timeslot when it is paged on a timeslot other than 0. The MS is addressed with a PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 message when the page mode is set to normal paging. The MS is paged with its IMSI in the 1st Mobile Identity field, the optional Mobile Identity field being not present, is the only way of addressing tested.
2) To test that in such conditions the MS answers to the paging message on the timeslot on which the paging message was sent.
26.6.2.5.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell, a legal combination of CCCH_CONF, BS_AG_BLKS_RES and BS_PA_MFRMS is chosen arbitrarily under the following constraint:
CCCH_CONF is in the set:
– 2 basic physical channels used for CCCH, not combined with SDCCHs
– 3 basic physical channels used for CCCH, not combined with SDCCHs
– 4 basic physical channels used for CCCH, not combined with SDCCHs
Mobile Station:
The IMSI last 3 digits are so that the CCCH_GROUP of the MS under test is other than 0. According to subclause 6.5.2 of recommendation 3GPP TS 05.02, this means that:
(IMSI mod 1000) mod (BS_CC_CHANS X N) is greater or equal to N, where
N = BS_PA_MFRMS X (9 – BS_AG_BLKS_RES).
The MS is in the "idle, updated" state.
Specific PICS statements
–
PIXIT statements
–
Foreseen Final State of the MS
"Idle updated".
Test Procedure
The SS pages the MS once with a PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 message on the timeslot and paging subchannel which correspond to the MS’s IMSI.
The MS shall send the CHANNEL REQUEST on the same timeslot as the paging message.
The SS sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT on the same timeslot as the paging message.

26.6.2.6 Paging / EAB active
26.6.2.6.1 Conformance requirements
Upon receipt of a paging request message, or other message containing information to trigger the establishment of a RR connection, and if access to the network is allowed, the addressed mobile station shall, when camped on a cell as specified in 3GPP TS 23.022, initiate the immediate assignment procedure as specified in sub-clause 3.3.1. The establishment of the main signalling link is then initiated by use of an SABM with information field containing the PAGING RESPONSE message (see sub-clause 3.1.5). The MM sublayer in the mobile station is informed that the RR entity has entered the dedicated mode.
For a mobile originated access attempt, a mobile station configured for EAB shall perform a preliminary access barring check (see sub-clause 3.3.1.4). If the preliminary access barring check indicates network access is barred then access to the network is not allowed. Otherwise, the mobile station shall proceed according to the remainder of this sub-clause.
References
3GPP TS 44.018, subclause 3.3.2 and 3.3.1.1.1
26.6.2.6.2 Test purpose

26.6.2.6.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
The SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 21 is sent on the BCCH. The SI 21 Rest Octets information element is configured with: EAB Authorization Mask set to”xxxxxxxxx1” and EAB Subcategory set to “00”.
Mobile Station:
The MS is switched off.
The MS is configured for “Extended Access Barring” and “low access priority”
The MS belong to access class 0
Specific PICS statements
–
PIXIT statements
–
Foreseen Final State of the MS
MS is camped on the cell.
Test Procedure
The MS is switched on. The SS checks for 120 s that the MS doesn’t access the cell.
The SS pages the MS with PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 messages on the paging subchannel which corresponds to the MS’s IMSI. The MS shall answer to the paging by sending CHANNEL REQUEST.. The SS responds by assigning a channel, and the MS shall then send a correct PAGING RESPONSE. The SS then releases the channel.
