General on Advice of Charge.
The purpose of these tests is to verify that the MS under test correctly performs procedures related to the AoC supplementary service.
The reasons for these test purposes are:
– One example of a possible use for AoCC is in applications where the subscriber hires out a GSM ME and SIM to a user and bills the user according to the charge stored on the SIM at the end of the hire period. If a mobile station claims to support AoCC but does so incorrectly or not at all, this may cause the subscriber to mischarge the user of the hire phone. Hence an MS claiming to support AoCC must be shown to be reliable in that context.
– Since AoCC offers the use of telecommunication services according to the charge stored independently in the MS, the AoCC service must not be susceptible to fraud at the MS end.
– To ensure that a mobile station not claiming to support AoCC does not respond with a signal to the network indicating that it does. This could cause the network to allow the call to be placed without any charge being inserted on to the SIM.
Mobile originating and terminating speech AoC calls are tested and if supported, Call Hold and Multi-party calls. The type testing of data calls (i.e. those calls with a volume related charging component) will not be specified at the phase 2 stage but will be deferred to phase 2+ since the interaction of AoC with packet services is not yet defined in 3GPP TS 09.06 and 3GPP TS 09.07.
Tests are made on the ME-SIM interface to ensure that call charges are being correctly stored in the ACM field of the SIM in several situations. The AoC ACMmax function is also tested for incoming and outgoing calls.
Basic service verification tests for the AoCC, Call Hold, and Multi-party supplementary services which have direct relevance to the testing of AoC have been added to 3GPP TS 11.10, subclauses 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5 respectively.
31.6.1 Advice of Charge Charging
31.6.1.1 AoCC time related charging / MS originated call
Purpose:
1) To verify that when the MS receives the AoCC parameters in a Facility IE which is contained in the CONNECT message and when a TCH has already been assigned, the MS returns a FACILITY message containing the acknowledgement within 1 s.
2) To verify that when the MS receives the AoCC parameters in a Facility IE which is contained in a CONNECT message and when a TCH has already been assigned, the MS stores the correct value in the ACM field of the SIM.
3) To verify that the when the call has no volume related component the MS ignores non-zero AoCC e5, e6 parameters sent to it.
Conformance Requirement(s):
1) When the MS receives the AoCC parameters in a Facility IE which is contained in a CONNECT message and when a TCH has already been assigned, the MS shall return a FACILITY message containing the acknowledgement within 1 s.
2) When the MS receives the AoCC parameters in a Facility IE which is contained in a CONNECT or FACILITY message and when a TCH has already been assigned, the MS shall store the correct value in the ACM field of the SIM.
3) When the call has no volume related component the MS shall ignore non-zero AoC e5 and e6 parameters sent to it.

Values shown in table are in the format and have units as in 3GPP TS 02.24 clause 3.
The ASN.1 description for each e-parameter allows integers in the range 0 to 8191 to be transmitted but some e-parameters have different actual ranges (e.g. e1 can take any value 0..819,1 with 0,1 resolution). The MS knows how to interpret the received parameter (e.g. received e1 refers to 10 times actual e1, see 3GPP TS 04.80 subclause 4.4.3). Therefore e1=12,5 would be sent to the MS as 125. The MS knows the value sent is 10 times the "real" e1 and hence interprets the value as 12,5.
The non-zero e5 and e6 values for the k=4 and k=5 execution of the test are to check that the MS ignores the volume related parameters when carrying out time only related charging.

31.6.1.6 Different formats of charging information
Purpose:
1) To verify that when the MS receives a Facility IE in which certain e-parameters are set to zero the total charge accumulated is the same as that when the same e-parameters are completely omitted from the Facility IE.
2) To verify the operation of a shortened channel release procedure where the SS does not send DISCONNECT but only the RELEASE COMPLETE and CHANNEL RELEASE messages or just the CHANNEL RELEASE message.
Conformance Requirement(s):
1) When the MS receives a Facility IE in which certain e-parameters are set to zero the total charge accumulated shall be the same as that when the same e-parameters are completely omitted from the Facility IE.
2) The channel shall be correctly released when a shortened channel release procedure is used – the SS does not send DISCONNECT but only the RELEASE COMPLETE and CHANNEL RELEASE messages or just the CHANNEL RELEASE message.

31.6.1.7 AoCC on a Call Hold call
Purpose:
1) To verify that when the MS invokes a Call Hold call and hence receives Facility IEs containing AoCC e-parameters for each chargeable call the MS returns a FACILITY message containing the AoCC acknowledgement within 1 s of transmission of each set of e-parameters.
2) To verify that when the MS invokes a Call Hold call and hence receives Facility IEs containing CAI elements for each chargeable call the CCM records the sum of all the charges for the services currently being used and hence that the ME inserts the correct charge in the ACM field of the SIM.
Conformance Requirement(s)
1) When the MS invokes a Call Hold call and hence receives Facility IEs containing AoCC e-parameters for each chargeable call the MS shall return a FACILITY message containing the AoCC acknowledgement within 1 s of receiving each set of e-parameters.
2) When the MS invokes a Call Hold call and hence receives Facility IEs containing CAI elements for each chargeable call the CCM shall record the sum of all the charges for the services currently being used and hence the ME shall insert the correct charge in the ACM field of the SIM.
Reference(s):
Conformance requirement 1: 3GPP TS 04.13.
Conformance requirement 2: 3GPP TS 02.24, 3GPP TS 04.83, 3GPP TS 04.84, 3GPP TS 04.86.
Specific PICS Statements
– Supported teleservices (TSPC_AddInfo_TeleSvc).
PIXIT Statements
– Method of reading ACM from the SIM via the ME.
– Support for active state of the call control protocol (U10).
Initial Conditions:
System Simulator:
1 cell, default parameters, IMSI attach/detach disabled.
Mobile Station:
The MS is in MM-state "idle, updated".
Foreseen Final State of the MS:
The MS is in MM-state "idle, updated".
Method of Test:
The MS is made to initiate a call. The call is established with certain AoCC e-parameters sent in a Facility IE in the CONNECT message. The MS shall return the AoCC acknowledgement within 1 s of transmission of the CONNECT message.
The call (call B) is then put on hold by sending a HOLD message from the MS to the SS. The SS shall reply with a HOLD ACKNOWLEDGE. The traffic channel is now available to originate another call.
The MS is made to initiate a second call (call C). The call is established with certain AoCC e-parameters sent in a Facility IE in the CONNECT message. The MS shall return the AoCC acknowledgement in a FACILITY message within 1 s of transmission of the CONNECT message.
The SS sends the DISCONNECT to the MS for call B x seconds after sending the call B CAI in the CONNECT/FACILITY message and the DISCONNECT for call C y seconds after sending the call C CAI in the CONNECT/FACILITY message. The MS shall have stored the correct amount on the SIM according to the two sets of e-parameters sent and call times x and y.

31.6.2.3 MS going out of coverage during an active AoCC call
NOTE: At present the core recommendations for AoCC in the case where the radio link is lost during an active call are vague. Does the mobile go on charging for a fixed period after radio link loss and continue as usual if radio link reestablishment occurs, or does charging stop? Input from people involved in charging for GSM is required.
Hence this test will be enhanced in the future when the requirements become clearer.
Purpose:
To verify that when the MS goes out of radio coverage area and an active call is dropped the ME has written the total charge up to that point in the call to the ACM field of the SIM.
Conformance Requirement(s):
When the MS goes out of radio coverage area during an active AoCC call midway through an AoC charging time interval (e7 or e2) and the call is dropped the ME shall have written the total charge up to the point in the call where the charging time interval last expired to the ACM field of the SIM.
Reference(s):
Conformance requirement 1: 3GPP TS 02.24.
Specific PICS Statements
– Supported teleservices (TSPC_AddInfo_TeleSvc).
PIXIT Statements
– Method of reading ACM from the SIM via the ME.
– Support for active state of the call control protocol (U10).
Initial Conditions:
System Simulator:
1 cell, default parameters, IMSI attach/detach disabled.
Mobile Station:
The MS is in MM-state "idle, updated".
Foreseen Final State of the MS:
The MS is in MM-state "idle, updated".
Method of Test:
The MS is made to initiate a call. The call is established with certain AoCC e-parameters sent in a Facility IE in the CONNECT message. It is an implementation option whether the AoCC acknowledge is sent before or after the CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE.
The cell simulated by the system simulator is then switched off to model the MS losing radio coverage. The MS shall have stored the correct amount on the SIM according to the e-parameters sent. [What happens on call reestablishment?]
Maximum Duration of Test:
5 minutes.

31.6.2.4 ACMmax operation / Mobile Originating
Purpose:
1) To verify that when the value stored in the ACM becomes equal to or exceeds its maximum value, the ACMmax, any outgoing calls in progress for which a non-zero CAI exists are terminated by the ME, with cause value #68 once the chargeable interval determined by the CAI has elapsed, with an appropriate indication given to the user.
2) To verify that when the value stored in the ACM becomes equal to or exceeds its maximum limit, the ACMmax, the making of non-emergency calls is inhibited.
3) To verify that when the value stored in the ACM becomes equal to or exceeds its maximum limit, the ACMmax, the making of emergency calls is uninhibited.
Conformance Requirement(s):
1) When the value stored in the ACM becomes equal to or exceeds its maximum value, the ACMmax, any outgoing calls in progress for which a non-zero CAI exists shall be terminated by the ME with cause value #68, once the chargeable interval determined by the CAI has elapsed, with an appropriate indication given to the user.
2) When the value stored in the ACM becomes equal to or exceeds its maximum limit, the ACMmax, the making of further non-emergency calls shall be inhibited.
3) When the value stored in the ACM becomes equal to or exceeds its maximum limit, the ACMmax, the making of emergency calls shall be uninhibited.
Reference(s):
Conformance requirement 1: 3GPP TS 02.24,
3GPP TS 04.86 subclause 2.3.
Conformance requirement 2: 3GPP TS 02.24.
Conformance requirement 3: 3GPP TS 02.24.
Specific PICS Statements
– Supported teleservices (TSPC_AddInfo_TeleSvc).
PIXIT Statements
– Method of reading ACM from the SIM via the ME.
– Type of user indication when ACMmax exceeded.
– Support for active state of the call control protocol (U10).
Initial Conditions:
System Simulator:
1 cell, default parameters, IMSI attach/detach disabled.
Mobile Station:
The MS is in MM-state "idle, updated".
PIN 2 is entered into the MS allowing modification of both the ACM and ACMmax fields on the SIM. The ACM is reset to zero and the ACMmax is set to 2 units.
Foreseen Final State of the MS:
The MS is in MM-state "idle, updated".
Method of Test:
The MS is made to initiate a call. The call is established with certain AoCC non-zero e-parameters sent in a Facility IE in the CONNECT message. It is an implementation option whether the AoCC acknowledge is sent before or after the CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE.
After the ACM has been incremented to 2 units (60 s) the call shall be terminated by the MS once an additional chargeable interval of 30 s has elapsed, and an indication given to the user. The call duration is recorded and the ACM is checked to ensure it has been incremented to 2 units.
The MS is then made to attempt to originate an ordinary call to the MS for which a non-zero CAI exists for the calling party and shall be unsuccessful. The MS shall not send a CHANNEL REQUEST for that call.
The MS is then made to attempt to originate an emergency call and shall be successful.

31.6.2.5 ACMmax operation / Mobile Terminating
Purpose:
1) To verify that when the value stored in the ACM becomes equal to or exceeds its maximum value, the ACMmax, any mobile terminating calls in progress for which a non-zero CAI exists are terminated by the ME with cause value #68, once the chargeable interval determined by the CAI has elapsed, with an appropriate indication given to the user.
2) To verify that when the value stored in the ACM becomes equal to or exceeds its maximum value, the ACMmax, and an incoming call is received for which subsequently a non-zero CAI is received, then the call is terminated by the ME using cause value #68 with an appropriate indication given to the user.
3) To verify that when the value stored in the ACM becomes equal to or exceeds its maximum limit, the ACMmax, the receiving of calls for which the CAI is zero is uninhibited.
Conformance Requirement(s):
1) When the value stored in the ACM becomes equal to or exceeds its maximum value, the ACMmax, any mobile terminating calls in progress for which a non-zero CAI exists shall be terminated by the ME with cause value #68, once the chargeable interval determined by the CAI has elapsed, with an appropriate indication given to the user.
2) When the value stored in the ACM becomes equal to or exceeds its maximum value, the ACMmax, and an incoming call is received for which subsequently a non-zero CAI is received, the call shall be terminated by the ME using cause value #68 with an appropriate indication given to the user.
3) When the value stored in the ACM becomes equal to or exceeds its maximum limit, the ACMmax, the receiving of calls for which the CAI is zero shall be uninhibited.

Values shown in table are in the format and have units as in 3GPP TS 02.24 clause 3.
The ASN.1 description for each e-parameter allows integers in the range 0 to 8 191 to be transmitted but some e-parameters have different actual ranges (e.g. e1 can take any value 0..819,1 with 0,1 resolution). The MS knows how to interpret the received parameter (e.g. received e1 refers to 10 times actual e1, see 3GPP TS 04.80 subclause 4.4.3). Therefore e1=12,5 would be sent to the MS as 125. The MS knows the value sent is 10 times the "real" e1 and hence interprets the value as 12,5.
The non-zero e5 and e6 values for the k=4 and k=5 execution of the test are to check that the MS ignores the volume related parameters when carrying out time only related charging.

The MS invokes the multi-party service by sending a FACILITY message to the SS containing the BuildMPTY request.
The SS accepts the request and connects the MS with the other existing connections (active call C and held call B) and confirms with a FACILITY message.
The SS sends the DISCONNECT to the MS for call B x seconds after sending the call B CAI in the CONNECT message and the DISCONNECT for call C y seconds after sending the call C CAI in the CONNECT message. The MS shall have stored the correct amount on the SIM according to the two sets of e-parameters sent and call times x and y.
Maximum Duration of Test:
10 minutes.
