58b.2.10 Concurrent Downlink Multi Carrier TBF / Downlink Multi Carrier Configuration / Channel Quality Reporting with UFPS
3GPP51.010-1Mobile Station (MS) conformance specificationPart 1: Conformance specificationTS
58b.2.10.1 Conformance requirement
In a downlink multi carrier configuration, channel quality measurements may be performed for each radio frequency channel, or each Unique Frequency Parameter Set, UFPS, independently. A UFPS is determined either by a Mobile Allocation (i.e. multiple carriers assigned the same Mobile Allocation belongs to the same UFPS), or alternatively, a fixed ARFCN. For carrier based reporting, principles that apply in Downlink Dual carrier configuration applies also for Downlink Multi Carrier configuration. For UFPS based reporting the MS shall always include channel quality measurements for the UFPS corresponding to the radio frequency channel on which the poll was received. If there is room in the message the MS may report additional UFPS (if any). Depending on the amount of information requested by the network, in case of UFPS based reporting, the MS may not be able to include channel quality measurements for all UFPSs within the applicable EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK DLMC message.
If this field indicates measurement information is to be reported on a per carrier basis the MS shall always include channel quality measurements for the carrier corresponding to the radio frequency channel on which the poll was received. If there is room in the message (see sub-clause 11.2.48) the MS shall report additional higher numbered carriers (if any) beginning with the next in sequence carrier (see sub-clause 8.1.1.1.3 for the numbering of downlink carriers in a DLMC configuration).

58b.2.10.2 Test purpose
To verify that the MS is performing UPFS channel quality measurements meaning the UPFS measurement is an average over the 4 carriers with a multi carrier TBF with frequency hopping enabled on 4 carriers with 12 Ts .

Test Procedure
SI1, and SI13 message sent to MS to indicate frequency hopping parameters.
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode
The MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH with assignment type set to multi carrier assignment. This configures the MS in Multi Carrier Downlink configuration. The SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously non frequency hopping.
The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message assigning downlink carrier 3 and Carrier 4, 3 timeslots configured on each downlink Carrier. The SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink Carrier 1, Carrier 2, Carrier 3 and Carrier 4 simultaneously. The SS polls the MS using the ES/P field in the header of the last downlink data blocks for ES/P value = ‘11’ (EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message containing Channel Quality Report and if there is enough room left in RLC/MAC block, NPB(s)). The SS checks if the EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK from MS includes a UFPS Channel Quality Report IE.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes.
