58b.2.8a Concurrent Downlink Multi Carrier TBF/ Multi Carrier Uplink TBF/ USF granularity 4

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

58b.2.8a.1 Conformance requirement

In a DLMC configuration, one or more PDCHs are assigned to a single mobile station on one or more of the uplink radio frequency channels that correspond to the downlink radio frequency channels assigned for the DLMC configuration. A mobile station with a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration or a DLMC configuration shall not be allocated radio blocks on more than one radio frequency channel during any given radio block period.

The time relation between an uplink block, which the mobile station shall use for transmission, and the occurrence of the USF value is defined in 3GPP TS 45.002. The number of RLC/MAC blocks to transmit is controlled by the USF_GRANULARITY parameter characterising the uplink TBF.

3GPP TS 44.060; subclause 8.1.1.1

58b.2.8a.2 Test purpose

To verify that the MS:

When USF_GRANULARITY is set to four blocks allocation, MS sends uplink data blocks as per the USF_GRANULARITY parameter.

58b.2.8a.3 Method of test

Initial Conditions

System Simulator:

1 cell, EGPRS supported, Downlink Multi Carrier supported.

Mobile Station:

Support for Downlink Multi Carrier indicated in MS Radio Access Capabilities IE.

The MS is in the state "idle, GMM-registered" with a P-TMSI allocated, SPLIT PG CYCLE negotiated, and PDP context 2 activated.

Test Procedure

The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. Then MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH, instructing a Multi Carrier Downlink configuration. MS receives an Uplink Assignment with assignment type set to Multi Carrier assignment where the existing single UL carrier will correspond to downlink Carrier1 and USF_GRANULARITY set to 4 block allocation. MS is allocated USF on carrier 1. The MS transmits 4 RLC/MAC blocks as per USF_GRANULARITY parameter. The MS is allocated USF on carrier 2. The MS transmits 4 RLC/MAC blocks on carrier 2 as per USF_GRANULARITY parameter.

Maximum Duration of Test

5 minutes.
