27 Testing of the SIM/ME interface

3GPP51.010-4Mobile Station (MS) conformance specificationPart 4: Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) application toolkit conformance test specificationRelease 17TS

This clause is an addition to TS 51.010-1 [12] clause 27 to confirm the correct interpretation of the SIM Application Toolkit commands and the correct operation of the Toolkit facilities.

The definitions, declarations and default values specified in TS 51.010-1 [12] clause 27 shall apply, unless otherwise specified in the present clause.

Note: As defined in TS 51.010-1 [12] clause 27 the term PCS 1900 defines the tests applicable for GSM 700, GSM 850 and PCS 1900 MS.

A SIM Simulator with the appropriate SIM Application Toolkit functionality will be required. The SIM data defined below shall be used for all test cases unless otherwise specified within the test case.

The comprehension required flags in SIMPLE-TLV objects that are included in a TERMINAL RESPONSE or an ENVELOPE shall be set as described in TS 11.14 [15]. This means that in cases where it is up to the ME to decide if this flag is used or not, the corresponding Tag coding in the TERMINAL RESPONSEs and ENVELOPEs in this document represents only one of the two valid possibilities.

TS 11.14 [15] defines that in case of the general result "Command performed successfully" some proactive commands require additional information in the command result and in which cases this is mandatory or optional. Thus when additional information bytes are optional in the Result TLV, the additional information bytes of the Result TLVin the Terminal Responses shall be ignored.
