26.6.3 Test of measurement report

3GPP51.010-1Mobile Station (MS) conformance specificationPart 1: Conformance specificationTS

When an RR-connection exists, the MS shall send measurement reports. These reports contain reception characteristics from serving and neighbouring cells. The measurement report procedure is described in subclause 3.4.1.2 of 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018.

NOTE 8: The capability to calculate RxLev and RxQual is tested in clauses 15 and 16. In this test only the signalling aspect is verified.

26.6.3.1 Measurement / no neighbours

26.6.3.1.1 Conformance requirements

The MS shall continuously send MEASUREMENT REPORT messages on every SACCH block and the measurement valid indication shall be set to valid (0) within the second block at the latest.

With the exception of the Cell Allocation, the rest of the parameters for all eight cells are the same as the default settings and default SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 1 to 4 message contents for cell A. The Cell Allocation for the serving cell is the same as the default setting for cell A. The Cell Allocations for the neighbour cells need have only one entry, consisting of the ARFCN of that cell’s BCCH.

Test Procedure

This test procedure is performed twice.

With the MS having a call in progress, the SS sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5 & 6 (on the second iteration of the test the SS also sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5bis) on the SACCH. The BA is indicated as empty. The MS shall send MEASUREMENT REPORTs back to the SS, and it shall be indicated in these that no measurement results have been obtained.

Maximum Duration of Test

5 minutes, including 1 minute for any necessary operator actions.

Expected Sequence

This sequence is performed for execution counter, k = 1, 2.

Since when k = 1, SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5, SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 6 and MEASUREMENT REPORT (and when k = 2 an additional SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5bis is included) are sent continuously, a table is not applicable in this test. The interval between 2 successive Layer 2 frames containing MEASUREMENT REPORTs shall not exceed one Layer 2 frame.

In the serving cell, the DTX indicator is set to "MS shall use discontinuous transmission".

With the exception of the Cell Allocation, the rest of the parameters for all eight cells are the same as the default settings and default SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 1 to 4 message contents for cell A. The Cell Allocation for the serving cell is the same as the default setting for cell A. The Cell Allocations for the neighbour cells need have only one entry, consisting of the ARFCN of that cell’s BCCH.

Mobile Station:

The MS is in the active state of a call (U10).

The MS has just completed a handover into the serving cell, S1.

Specific PICS statements

PIXIT statements

Foreseen Final State of the MS

Active state of a call (U10).

Test Procedure

This test procedure is performed twice.

With the MS having a call in progress on an arbitrary cell, the MS is handed over to cell S1. On cell S1, the SS sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5 and 6 (on the second iteration of the test the SS also sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5bis) on the SACCH with all 8 of the BCCHs "on air" indicated in the BA. Cell S1 also indicates that DTX shall be used. The MS shall send MEASUREMENT REPORTs back to the SS, and it shall be indicated in these that measurement results for the 6 strongest carriers have been obtained and that DTX has been used. (The MS is positioned in an environment free from acoustic noise.)

Maximum Duration of Test

5 minutes, including 1 minute for any necessary operator actions.

Expected Sequence

This sequence is performed twice for execution counter, k = 1, 2.

Since when k = 1, SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5, SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 6 and MEASUREMENT REPORT (and when k = 2 an additional SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5bis is included) messages are sent continuously, a table is not applicable in this test. The interval between 2 successive Layer 2 frames containing MEASUREMENT REPORTs shall not exceed one Layer 2 frame.

26.6.3.7.1 Conformance requirements

The MS shall continuously send MEASUREMENT REPORT messages on every SACCH blocks and the measurement valid indication shall be set to valid (0) within the second block at the latest. The MS shall report a new strongest cell in the measurement report at the latest 5 s after a new strongest cell (which is part of the BA(SACCH)) has been activated under the following network conditions: Initial serving cell at RXLEV= -70 dBm, with 6 neighbours at RXLEV= -75 dBm. Then the new BCCH carrier is switched on at RXLEV= -60 dBm.

NOTE: Because of test equipment limitations it is acceptable to activate the new carrier to replace one of the 6 neighbours.

26.6.3.8 Enhanced Measurement /all neighbours present

26.6.3.8.1 Conformance requirements

When in dedicated mode or group transmit mode, the mobile station regularly sends either MEASUREMENT REPORT or ENHANCED MEASUREMENT REPORT messages to the network.

The Mobile Station shall use ENHANCED MEASUREMENT REPORT messages instead of MEASUREMENT REPORT messages if that is indicated by the parameter REPORT_TYPE and if at least one BSIC is allocated to each BA (list) frequency

For Enhanced Measurement Reporting, cells shall be reported if they are among the at least 6 strongest carriers, and BSIC is successfully decoded and valid (see sub-clause 10.1.1) or, if indicated by the parameter INVALID_BSIC_REPORTING, with known and allowed NCC part. The neighbour cells shall be reported according to the priority defined in sub-clause 8.4.8.1. For other radio access technology/mode, RXLEV is replaced by the relevant measurement quantity (see sub-clause 8.1.5);

For report with the ENHANCED MEASUREMENT REPORT message, the Neighbour Cell list is the concatenation of the GSM Neighbour Cell list and the 3G Neighbour Cell list (if any).

26.6.3.9 Enhanced Measurement Report / Measurement Parameters

26.6.3.9.1 Conformance requirements

The BA (list) which is the initial basis for the measurements is derived from information received on the BCCH in System Information 2 and optionally 2bis and/or 2ter and on the SACCH in System Information 5 and optionally 5bis and/or 5ter. MEASUREMENT INFORMATION and SI2quater messages may add information for the GSM Neighbour Cell List and provide 3G Neighbour Cell list. The Mobile Station shall use ENHANCED MEASUREMENT REPORT messages instead of MEASUREMENT REPORT messages if that is indicated by the parameter REPORT_TYPE and if at least one BSIC is allocated to each BA (list) frequency.

The network may request the MS to report serving cell and neighbour cell measurements with Enhanced Measurement Report message by the parameter REPORT_TYPE, provided that BSIC for all GSM neighbour cells has been sent to the MS (See 3GPP TS 44.018). This reporting is referred as Enhanced Measurement Reporting.

The MS shall use the SCALE value as indicated by the parameter SCALE_ORD in the MEASUREMENT INFORMATION. The MS shall indicate the used SCALE value in each individual ENHANCED MEASUREMENT REPORT or PACKET ENHANCED MEASUREMEMT REPORTmessage.

Active state of a call (U10).

Test Procedure

Step a)

With the MS having a call in progress, the SS sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5, SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 6 and MEASUREMENT INFORMATION messages on the SACCH. The Report Type parameter on the SACCH indicates ENHANCED MEASUREMENT REPORT and SERVING_BAND_REPORTING is set to 3. Serving cell and 4 neighbour cells "on air" are indicated in the BA and no 3G Neighbour Cell Description is indicated in the MEASUREMENT INFORMATION message. The MS shall send ENHANCED MEASUREMENT REPORTs back to the SS, and all carriers present in the BA List shall be indicated within 20 s in these that measurement results.

Step b)

Then the SS sends MEASUREMENT INFORMATION message including the request the use of SCALE_ORD parameter. The MS shall send Enhanced Measurement Report back to the SS and indicate the use of SCALE_ORD parameter. The SS checks that the offset is correctly applied by the MS.

Maximum Duration of Test

5 minutes.

Expected Sequence

Since System Information 5, System Information 6 and Measurement Information are sent on SACCH a table is not applicable in this test.
