14.2.23.3 Test purpose
To verify that the MS does not exceed conformance requirement for FER and class 1b RBER under HT100 propagation conditions with an allowance for the statistical significance of the test, for channel combinations O-TCH/WHS12.65 and O-TCH/WHS 8.85.

51.010-1
14.2.23.4.1 Initial conditions
A call is set up according to the generic call set up procedure on a O-TCH/WHS with an ARFCN in the mid ARFCN range, power control level set to maximum power. RADIO_LINK_TIMEOUT is set to maximum. The multirate configuration indicates the use of a codec set limited to 12,65 kbit/s. The SS transmits Standard Test Signal C1 on the traffic channel (wanted signal). The SS commands the MS to create the traffic channel loop back, signalling erased frames (subclause 36).

14.2.23.4.2 Procedure
a) The fading function is set to HT100. b) The SS sets the level of the wanted signal to that indicated by Clev in table 14.2.23-2 or 14.2.23-3. The level is corrected by the appropriate value in the table above. c) The SS compares the data of the signal that it sends to the MS with the signal which is looped back from the receiver after demodulation and decoding, and checks the frame erasure indication. d) The SS determines the number of residual bit error events for the bits of the class Ib, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class Ib. Bits are only taken from those frames not signalled as erased. e) The SS also determines the frame erasure events by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive frames and assuming a frame is received successfully, if it is not signalled as erased. f) The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to 8.85 kbit/s and steps b) to e) are repeated. Maximum/Minimum Duration of Test Maximum: 19 minutes (GSM850), 19 minutes (GSM900), 19 minutes (DCS1800), 19 minutes (PCS1900). Minimum: 7 minutes (GSM850), 7 minutes (GSM900), 3 minutes (DCS1800), 3 minutes (PCS1900).

14.2.23.5 Test requirements
Testing should be performed using statistical methods that lead to an early pass/fail decision with test time significantly reduced for MS with FER/BER not on the limit. For more information on statistical testing of BER/BLER performance, especially the definition of limit lines refer to Annex 7. Wrong decision risk F for one single error rate test: Fpass   =   Ffail   =   F and F   =   0.2% Wrong decision probability D per test step: Dpass   =   Dfail   =   D and D   =   0.0085% Parameters for limit lines: 1. D =  0.000085 wrong decision probability per test step. 2. M =   1.5 bad DUT factor 3. ne number of (error) events. This parameter is the x‑ordinate in figure A7.1.3.1. 4. ns number of samples. The error rate is calculated from ne and ns. Limit checking Before limit checking is valid the minimum test time due to fading needs to be considered: Testing under multipath and interference conditions requires that at least 990 wavelengths are crossed with the speed given in the fading profile. This leads to a minimum test time depending on the frequency range. No early pass/fail decision is allowed until the minimum test time due to fading has elapsed. Table 14.2.23-1: Minimum test times due to HT 100 fading conditions Half Rate 100 km/h Frequency (GHz) 0,85 0,9 1,8 1,9 Wavelength (m) 0,35 0,33 0,17 0,16 min test time (s) 201 190 95 90 0:03:21 0:03:10 0:01:35 0:01:30 If the minimum test time due to multipath conditions exceeds the target test time, then the test runs for the minimum test time due to multipath conditions and the decision is made by comparing the result with the “derived test limit”. In this case early pass/fail decisions are obsolete. If the target test time exceeds the minimum test time due to multipath conditions early pass/fail decisions can be headed for in order to accelerate test execution. For an early decision a minimum number of (error) events is necessary. For an early pass decision ne   ≥   1 (inclusive artificial error) For an early fail decision ne   ≥   7 When the target test time has been reached the test is finished and a pass/fail decision can be made. The error rate measured in this test shall be tested according to the values given in tables 14.2.23-2 and 14.2.23.3 Table 14.2.23-2: Statistical test limits for GSM 850 and GSM 900 O-TCH/WHS reference sensitivity HT100 / No FH 0.8 to 0.9GHz Clev (dBm) Samples per second Orig.

The level shall be corrected by the value in the table above describing the reference performance level correction factors for packet switched channels. c) The SS compares the data of the signal that it sends to the MS with the signal which is looped back from the receiver after demodulation and decoding, and checks the frame erasure indication. d) The SS determines the number of residual bit error events for the bits of class Ib, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class Ib. Bits are taken only from those frames not signalled as erased. e) The SS also determines the frame erasure events by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive frames and assuming a frame is received successfully, if it is not signalled as erased. f) The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to 8.85 kbit/s and steps b) to e) are repeated. g) The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to 12.65 kbit/s and steps b) to e) are repeated. h) The fading function is set to HThigh. The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to 6.60 kbit/s and steps b) to g) are repeated. i) If DCS 1800 or PCS 1900 then skip steps j) and k). j) The fading function is set to RAhigh. The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to 6.60 kbit/s and steps b) to g) are repeated. k) The fading function is set to STATIC. The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to 6.60 kbit/s and steps b) to g) are repeated. Maximum/Minimum Duration of Test - Maximum: 15 minutes (GSM700, GSM850, GSM900) or 10 minutes ( DCS1800, PCS1900). - Minimum: 15 minutes (GSM700, GSM850, GSM900) or 10 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900). 14.2.24a.5 Test requirements Testing the reference sensitivity performance is performed using statistical methods that lead to an early pass/fail decision with test time significantly reduced for MS with BER/BLER not on the limit. For more information on statistical testing of BER/BLER performance, especially the definition of the limit lines refer to Annex 6.2 Wrong decision risk F for one single error rate test: Fpass   =   Ffail   =   F and F   =   0.2% Wrong decision probability D per test step: Dpass   =   Dfail   =   D and D   =   0.0085% Parameters for limit lines: 1. D =  0.000085 wrong decision probability per test step. 2. M =   1.5 bad DUT factor 3. ne number of (error) events. 4. ns number of samples. The error rate is calculated from ne and ns. Limit checking Before limit checking is valid the minimum test time due to fading needs to be considered: Testing under multipath and interference conditions requires that at least 990 wavelengths are crossed with the speed given in the fading profile. This leads to a minimum test time depending on the frequency. No early pass/fail decision is allowed until the minimum test time due to fading has elapsed.

14.2.25.1 Definition
The reference sensitivity for control channels is the signal level at the MS receiver input at which a certain FER must be achieved. 14.2.25.2 Conformance requirement. For Repeated Downlink FACCH and Repeated SACCH (see 3GPP TS 44.006), the minimum input signal level for which the reference performance shall be met is specified in table 1i, according to the propagation condition and type of equipment. The performance requirements for GSM 400 and GSM 700 systems are as for GSM 900 in table 1i, except that the GSM 400 MS speed is doubled from that of GSM 900, e.g. TU50 becomes TU100, and the GSM 700 MS speed is increased by a factor of 1.2, e.g. TU50 becomes TU60. 3GPP TS 45.005 subclause 6.2. The reference performance for Repeated Downlink FACCH and Repeated SACCH shall be FER £ 5%. 3GPP TS 45.005 subclause 6.2. When calculating FER, a FACCH frame and its repetition or a SACCH frame and its repetition respectively, shall be counted as one frame and a frame erasure shall be counted when neither the FACCH frame nor its repetition or neither the SACCH frame nor its repetition respectively, could be successfully decoded. 3GPP TS 45.005 subclause 6.2. The reference performance levels for Repeated Downlink FACCH and Repeated SACCH shall be corrected according to the values in the table below, describing the reference performance level correction factors for packet switched channels: MS, GMSK modulated signals ‑ for DCS 1 800 class 1 or class 2 MS +2/+4 dB** ‑ for DCS 1 800 class 3 MS +2 dB ‑ for GSM 400 small MS, GSM 900 small MS GSM 850 small MS and GSM 700 small MS +2 dB ‑ for other GSM 400, GSM 900 MS and GSM 850 MS and GSM 700 MS 0 dB for PCS 1900 class 1 or class 2 MS +2 dB for other PCS 1900 MS 0 dB ** For DCS 1 800 class 1 and class 2 MS, a correction offset of +2dB shall apply for the reference sensitivity performance as specified in table 1a for the normal conditions defined in Annex D and an offset of +4 dB shall be used to determine all other MS performances. 3GPP TS 45.005 subclause 6.2 For T-GSM 810 the requirements for GSM 900 shall apply, apart for those parameters for which a separate requirement exists. 3GPP TS 45.005 subclause 2. 14.2.25.3 Test purpose.

14.2.25.4.1 Initial conditions
A call is set up according to the generic call set up procedure on a TCH/F with an ARFCN in the Low ARFCN range, power control level set to maximum power. The SS shall use Repeated FACCH for command and response frames for the duration of the test. Each pair of FACCHs are counted as a single sample. The SS transmits Standard Test Signal C1 on the traffic channel.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2
51.010-1
14.2.25.4.2 Procedure
a) The fading function is set to TUhigh. b) The SS sets the amplitude of the wanted signal to –104dBm + Corr, (where Corr is the correction factor from the table above) c) The SS sends a Layer 3 message which does not require a Layer 3 response from the MS. Due to the low signal level the MS may not be able to acknowledge an RR frame and the L2 entity of the SS will repeat the Layer 2 frame. Each retransmitted L2 frame will be counted and will indicate a frame erasure event. d) The SS determines the frame erasure events during at least the minimum number of samples of FACCH/F frames. NOTE: These frames will not be consecutive but it is expected that the statistical significance of the tests will not be unduly degraded. Maximum/Minimum Duration of Test Maximum: 12 minutes. Minimum: 10 minutes (GSM700, GSM850, GSM900), 5 minutes (DCS1800, PCS900)

14.2.26.4.1 Initial conditions
A call is set up according to the generic call set up procedure on a TCH/F with an ARFCN in the Low ARFCN range, power control level is set to maximum power. The SS shall use Repeated SACCH for all SACCH block on the downlink for the duration of the test. Each pair of SACCH blocks (i.e. one Repeated SACCH block-pair) shall be counted as a single sample. The SS shall send different PCL for each sample following Table 14.2.26-1 for the duration of the test. The SS transmits Standard Test Signal C1 on the traffic channel
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2
51.010-1
14.2.26.4.2 Procedure
a) The fading function is set to TUhigh/NoFH. b) The SS sets the amplitude of the wanted signal to –104dBm + Corr, (where Corr is the correction factor from the table above). c) Following the reception of the last burst of the MS UL SACCH corresponding to the second SACCH block of a repeated SACCH interval, the SS shall compute the PCL value to use in the SS DL SACCH blocks for the next repeated SACCH interval using Table 14.2.26-1. i) The first two columns of Table 14.2.26-1 are inputs, the last column is a output. ii) SACCH blocks are grouped into sets of 2 consecutive SACCH blocks which is called a repeated SACCH interval. iii) Last commanded PCL by SS refers to the PCL used in the DL SACCH L1 headers for repeated SACCH interval N iv) Corresponding reported MS PCL refers to the PCL reported in the UL SACCH L1 header of second SACCH block on repeated SACCH interval N v) Next commanded PCL by SS refers to the PCL that the SS will use in the DL SACCH L1 headers for repeated SACCH interval N+1. Table 14.2.26-1: Power Control Level Used by SS Last commanded PCL by SS Corresponding Reported MS PCL Next commanded PCL by SS 7 7 8 7 8 9 7 9 8 8 7 9 8 8 9 8 9 7 9 7 8 9 8 7 9 9 7 d) The SS compares the MS reported PCL in the uplink SACCH L1 header of the Repeated SACCH block against the expected PCL (based on the previously commanded PCL in the downlink SACCH L1 header taking into account round-trip delays). If the MS reported PCL in the uplink SACCH L1 header is different than the expected PCL, this will invoke a frame erasure event. e) The SS determines the frame erasure events during at least the minimum number of samples of SACCH frames. NOTE: These frames will be consecutive and it is expected that the statistical significance of the tests will not be unduly degraded.

14.2.27.4.2 Procedure
a) The fading function is set to TU high/(Corr.=0, AGI=0). b) the SS sets the amplitude of the wanted signal to reference sensitivity level from table 1j in TS 45.005. c) The SS compares the data of the signal that it sends to the MS with the signal which is looped back from the receiver after demodulation and decoding, and checks the frame erasure indication. d) The SS determines the number of residual bit error events for the bits of class II, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class II. Bits are taken only from those frames not signalled as erased. e) The SS determines the number of residual bit error events for the bits of the class Ib, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class Ib. Bits are only taken from those frames not signalled as erased. f) The SS also determines the frame erasure events by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive frames and assuming a frame is received successfully, if it is not signalled as erased. g) Steps b) to f) are repeated with the SS fading function set in turn to HT high/(Corr.=0,7, AGI=-6dB).Maximum/Minimum Duration of Test - Maximum: 20 minutes (GSM700, GSM850, GSM900) or 20 minutes ( DCS1800, PCS1900). - Minimum: 6 minutes (GSM700, GSM850, GSM900) or 3 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900).

14.2.29.4.1 Initial conditions
A call is set up according to the generic call set up procedure on a TCH/EFS with an ARFCN in the Mid ARFCN range, power control level set to maximum power. RADIO_LINK_TIMEOUT is set to maximum. The SS transmits a Standard Test Signal C1 (AQPSK) (wanted signal) on the active VAMOS subchannel (subchannel 2) using trainings sequence 5 from TSC set 2. The other VAMOS subchannel (subchannel 1) uses trainings sequences 5 from TSC set 1. The SS commands the MS to create traffic channel loop back signalling erased frames. Specific PICS Statements: - VAMOS I supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type1) - VAMOS II supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type2) - VAMOS III supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type3) For MS indicating VAMOS III support, connect the SS to the MS antenna connectors according to Annex A1.1.6.2.

51.010-1
14.2.29.4.2 Procedure
a) The fading function is set to TUhigh for MS indicating VAMOS I or VAMOS II support and TUhigh/(Corr.=0, AGI=0 dB as per 3GPP TS 45.005 Annex Q.7) for MS indicating VAMOS III support. b) The SS sets SCPIR_DL to +4 dB. c) Depending of the indicated VAMOS type and the relevant antenna correlation and antenna gain imbalance values, the SS sets the amplitude of the wanted signal to reference sensitivity level specified by level in table 14.2.29-1 through 14.2.29-8. d) The SS compares the data of the signal that it sends to the MS with the signal which is looped back from the receiver after demodulation and decoding, and checks the frame erasure indication. e) The SS determines the number of residual bit error events for the bits of class Ib, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class Ib. Bits are taken only from those frames not signalled as erased. f) The SS determines the number of residual bit error events for the bits of class II, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class II. Bits are taken only from those frames not signalled as erased. g) The SS also determines the frame erasure events by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive frames and assuming a frame is received successfully, if it is not signalled as erased. h) The SS repeats steps c) to g) with SCPIR_DL values 0 dB and -4 dB. i) For MS indicating VAMOS II or VAMOS III support, step c) to g) shall be repeated with SCPIR_DL values -8 dB and -10 dB. j) For MS indicating VAMOS III support, steps b) to i) are repeated with the SS fading function set in turn to TU high/(Corr.=0,7, AGI=-6 dB as per 3GPP TS 45.005 Annex Q.7).

14.2.29.5 Test requirements
Testing should be performed using statistical methods that lead to an early pass/fail decision with test time significantly reduced for MS with FER/BER not on the limit. For more information on statistical testing of BER/BLER performance, especially the definition of limit lines refer to Annex 7 (A7.1.3.2) Before limit checking is valid the minimum test time due to fading needs to be considered: Table 14.2.29-0: Minimum test times due to TU high fading conditions Fading speed 50km/h Frequency /MHz 850 900 1800 1900 Wave length / m 0,35 0,33 0,17 0,16 Min. Test time /s 201 190 95 90 hh:mm:ss 00:03:21 00:03:10 00:01:35 00:01:30 The error rates measured for different SCPIR and under propagation condition shall not exceed the test limit error rate values given in table 14.2.29-1 through 14.2.29-8 depending on the indicated VAMOS type and the relevant antenna correlation and antenna gain imbalance values.

14.2.30.4.1 Initial conditions
A call is set up according to the generic call set up procedure on a TCH/AFS with an ARFCN in the Mid ARFCN range, power control level set to maximum power. RADIO_LINK_TIMEOUT is set to maximum. The multirate configuration indicates the use of a codec set limited to 12.20 kbit/s. The SS transmits a Standard Test Signal C1 (AQPSK) (wanted signal) on the active VAMOS subchannel (subchannel 2) using trainings sequence 5 from TSC set 2. The other VAMOS subchannel (subchannel 1) uses trainings sequences 5 from TSC set 1. The SS commands the MS to create traffic channel loop back signalling erased frames. Specific PICS Statements: - VAMOS I supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type1) - VAMOS II supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type2) - VAMOS III supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type3) For MS indicating VAMOS III support, connect the SS to the MS antenna connectors according to Annex A1.1.6.2.

14.2.30.4.2 Procedure
a) The fading function is set to TUhigh for MS indicating VAMOS I or VAMOS II support and TUhigh/(Corr.=0, AGI=0 dB as per 3GPP TS 45.005 Annex Q.7) for MS indicating VAMOS III support. b) The SS sets SCPIR_DL to +4 dB. c) Depending of the indicated VAMOS type and the relevant antenna correlation and antenna gain imbalance values, the SS sets the amplitude of the wanted signal to reference sensitivity level from table 1s for VAMOS I or table 1t for VAMOS II or table 1x for VAMOS III in TS 45.005. d) The SS compares the data of the signal that it sends to the MS with the signal which is looped back from the receiver after demodulation and decoding, and checks the frame erasure indication. e) The SS determines the number of residual bit error events for the bits of class Ib, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class Ib. Bits are taken only from those frames not signalled as erased. f) The SS also determines the frame erasure events by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive frames and assuming a frame is received successfully, if it is not signalled as erased. g) The SS repeats steps c) to f) with SCPIR_DL values 0 dB and -4 dB. h) For MS indicating VAMOS II or VAMOS III support, step c) to f) shall be repeated with SCPIR_DL values -8 dB and -10 dB. i) The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to 4.75 kbit/s and steps b) to h) are repeated. j) For MS indicating VAMOS III support, steps b) to i) are repeated with the SS fading function set in turn to TU high/(Corr.=0,7, AGI=-6 dB as per 3GPP TS 45.005 Annex Q.7). Maximum/Minimum Duration of Test - Maximum (VAMOS I): 56 minutes (GSM850, GSM900) or 56 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900). - Minimum (VAMOS I): 19 minutes (GSM850, GSM900) or 9 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900). - Maximum (VAMOS II): 94 minutes (GSM850, GSM900) or 94 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900). - Minimum (VAMOS II): 32 minutes (GSM850, GSM900) or 15 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900). - Maximum (VAMOS III): 94 minutes (GSM850, GSM900) or 94 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900). - Minimum (VAMOS III): 32 minutes (GSM850, GSM900) or 15 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900).

14.2.30.5 Test requirements
Testing the reference sensitivity performance is performed using statistical methods that lead to an early pass/fail decision with test time significantly reduced for MS with BER/BLER not on the limit. For more information on statistical testing of BER/BLER performance, especially the definition of the limit lines refer to Annex 7.1 (A7.1.3.2) Before limit checking is valid the minimum test time due to fading needs to be considered: Table 14.2.30-1: Minimum test times due to TU high fading conditions Full Rate 50 km/h Frequency 0,4 0,7 0,85 0,9 1,8 1,9 GHz Wavelength 0,75 0,43 0,35 0,33 0,17 0,16 m min test time 428 244 201 190 95 90 s 0:07:08 0:04:04 0:03:21 0:03:10 0:01:35 0:01:30 hh:mm:ss The error rates measured for different channels and under the different propagation conditions shall be tested according to the values given in tables 14.2.30-2 through 14.2.30-9 depending on the indicated VAMOS type and the relevant antenna correlation and antenna gain imbalance values. Reference sensitivity tests with a frequency condition noted as “@+/-ndB” are performed for SCPIR_DL ndB (see 3GPP TS 45.005).

14.2.31.4.1 Initial conditions
A call is set up according to the generic call set up procedure on a TCH/AHS with an ARFCN in the Mid ARFCN range, power control level set to maximum power. RADIO_LINK_TIMEOUT is set to maximum. The multirate configuration indicates the use of a codec set limited to 7.4 kbit/s. The SS transmits a Standard Test Signal C1 (AQPSK) (wanted signal) on the active VAMOS subchannel (subchannel 2) using trainings sequence 5 from TSC set 2. The other VAMOS subchannel (subchannel 1) uses trainings sequences 5 from TSC set 1. The SS commands the MS to create traffic channel loop back signalling erased frames. Specific PICS Statements: - VAMOS I supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type1) - VAMOS II supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type2) - VAMOS III supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type3) For MS indicating VAMOS III support, connect the SS to the MS antenna connectors according to Annex A1.1.6.2.14.2.31.4.2 Procedure a) The fading function is set to TUhigh for MS indicating VAMOS I or VAMOS II support and TUhigh/(Corr.=0, AGI=0 dB as per 3GPP TS 45.005 Annex Q.7) for MS indicating VAMOS III support. b) The SS sets SCPIR_DL to +4 dB. c) Depending of the indicated VAMOS type and the relevant antenna correlation and antenna gain imbalance values, the SS sets the amplitude of the wanted signal to reference sensitivity level from table 1s for VAMOS I or table 1t for VAMOS II or table 1x for VAMOS III in TS 45.005. d) The SS compares the data of the signal that it sends to the MS with the signal which is looped back from the receiver after demodulation and decoding, and checks the frame erasure indication. e) The SS determines the number of residual bit error events for the bits of class Ib, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class Ib. Bits are taken only from those frames not signalled as erased. f) The SS determines the number of residual bit error events for the bits of class II, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class II. Bits are taken only from those frames not signalled as erased. g) The SS also determines the frame erasure events by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive frames and assuming a frame is received successfully, if it is not signalled as erased. h) The SS repeats steps c) to g) with SCPIR_DL values 0 dB and -4 dB. i) For MS indicating VAMOS II or VAMOS III support, step c) to g) shall be repeated with SCPIR_DL values -8 dB and -10 dB. j) The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to 4.75 kbit/s and steps b) to i) are repeated. k) For MS indicating VAMOS III support, steps b) to j) are repeated with the SS fading function set in turn to TU high/(Corr.=0,7, AGI=-6 dB as per 3GPP TS 45.005 Annex Q.7) Maximum/Minimum Duration of Test - Maximum (VAMOS I): 56 minutes (GSM850, GSM900) or 56 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900). - Minimum (VAMOS I): 39 minutes (GSM850, GSM900) or 18 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900). - Maximum (VAMOS II): 94 minutes (GSM850, GSM900) or 94 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900). - Minimum (VAMOS II): 65 minutes (GSM850, GSM900) or 30 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900). - Maximum (VAMOS III): 94 minutes (GSM850, GSM900) or 94 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900). - Minimum (VAMOS III): 65 minutes (GSM850, GSM900) or 30 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900).

14.2.31.5 Test requirements
Testing the reference sensitivity performance is performed using statistical methods that lead to an early pass/fail decision with test time significantly reduced for MS with BER/BLER not on the limit. For more information on statistical testing of BER/BLER performance, especially the definition of the limit lines refer to Annex 7.1 (A.7.1.3.2) Before limit checking is valid the minimum test time due to fading needs to be considered: Table 14.2.31-1: Minimum test times due to TU high fading conditions Half Rate 50 km/h Frequency 0,4 0,7 0,85 0,9 1,8 1,9 GHz Wavelength 0,75 0,43 0,35 0,33 0,17 0,16 m min test time 855 489 403 380 190 180 s 0:14:15 0:08:09 0:06:43 0:06:20 0:03:10 0:03:00 hh:mm:ss The error rates measured for different channels and under the different propagation conditions shall be tested according to the values given in tables 14.2.31-2 through 14.2.31-9 depending on the indicated VAMOS type and the relevant antenna correlation and antenna gain imbalance values. Reference sensitivity tests with a frequency condition noted as “@+/-ndB” are performed for SCPIR_DL ndB (see 3GPP TS 45.005).

14.2.32.4.1 Initial conditions
A call is set up according to the generic call set up procedure on a TCH/WFS with an ARFCN in the Mid ARFCN range for GSM700, T-GSM 810, GSM 850, DCS 1800 and PCS 1 900 and ARFCN 70 for GSM 900, power control level set to maximum power. RADIO_LINK_TIMEOUT is set to maximum. NOTE: For GSM 900 ARFCN 70 is tested since this is the 73rd harmonic of the 13 MHz clock normally used internally in a MS. The multirate configuration indicates the use of a codec set limited to 6.60 kbit/s. The SS transmits a Standard Test Signal C1 (AQPSK) (wanted signal) on the active VAMOS subchannel (subchannel 2) using trainings sequence 5 from TSC set 2. The other VAMOS subchannel (subchannel 1) uses trainings sequences 5 from TSC set 1. The SS commands the MS to create traffic channel loop back signalling erased frames. Specific PICS Statements: • VAMOS I supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type1) - VAMOS II supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type2) - VAMOS III supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type3) For MS indicating VAMOS III support, connect the SS to the MS antenna connectors according to Annex A1.1.6.2.

14.2.32.4.2 Procedure
a) The fading function is set to TUhigh for MS indicating VAMOS I or VAMOS II support and TUhigh/(Corr.=0, AGI=0 dB as per 3GPP TS 45.005 Annex Q.7) for MS indicating VAMOS III support. b) The SS sets SCPIR_DL to +4 dB. c) Depending of the indicated VAMOS type and the relevant antenna correlation and antenna gain imbalance values, the SS sets the amplitude of the wanted signal to reference sensitivity level from table 1s for VAMOS I or table 1t for VAMOS II or table 1x for VAMOS III in TS 45.005. d) The SS compares the data of the signal that it sends to the MS with the signal which is looped back from the receiver after demodulation and decoding, and checks the frame erasure indication. e) The SS determines the number of residual bit error events for the bits of class Ib, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class Ib. Bits are taken only from those frames not signalled as erased. f) The SS also determines the frame erasure events by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive frames and assuming a frame is received successfully, if it is not signalled as erased. g) The SS sets SCPIR_DL to 0 dB and steps c) to f) are repeated. h) The SS sets SCPIR_DL to -4 dB and steps c) to f) are repeated. i) For MS indicating VAMOS II or VAMOS III support, steps c) to f) are repeated for SCPIR_DL -8 dB and -10 dB. j) The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to 12.65 kbit/s and steps b) to i) are repeated. k) For MS indicating VAMOS III support, steps b) to j) are repeated with the SS fading function set in turn to TU high/(Corr.=0,7, AGI=-6 dB as per 3GPP TS 45.005 Annex Q.7) Maximum/Minimum Duration of Test - Maximum: 15 minutes (GSM700, GSM850, GSM900) or 10 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900). - Minimum: 15 minutes (GSM700, GSM850, GSM900) or 10 minutes (DCS1800, PCS1900).

14.2.32.5 Test requirements
Testing the reference sensitivity performance is performed using statistical methods that lead to an early pass/fail decision with test time significantly reduced for MS with BER/BLER not on the limit. For more information on statistical testing of BER/BLER performance, especially the definition of the limit lines refer to Annex 7.1 Before limit checking is valid the minimum test time due to fading needs to be considered: Table 14.2.32-1: Minimum test times due to TU high fading conditions Full Rate 50 km/h Frequency 0,4 0,7 0,85 0,9 1,8 1,9 GHz Wavelength 0,75 0,43 0,35 0,33 0,17 0,16 m min test time 428 244 201 190 95 90 s 0:07:08 0:04:04 0:03:21 0:03:10 0:01:35 0:01:30 hh:mm:ss Full Rate 60 km/h Frequency 0,4 0,7 0,85 0,9 1,8 1,9 GHz Wavelength 0,75 0,43 0,35 0,33 0,17 0,16 m min test time 356 204 168 158 79 75 s 0:05:56 0:03:24 0:02:48 0:02:38 0:01:19 0:01:15 hh:mm:ss If the minimum test time due to multipath conditions exceeds the target test time, then the test runs for the minimum test time due to multipath conditions and the decision is done by comparing the result with the “derived test limit”. In this case early pass/fail decisions are obsolete. If the target test time exceeds the minimum test time due to multipath conditions early pass/fail decisions can be headed for in order to accelerate test execution. For an early decision a minimum number of (error) events is necessary. For an early pass decision ne   ≥   1 (inclusive artificial error) For an early fail decision ne   ≥   7 When the target test time has been reached the test is finished and a pass/fail decision can be made.

14.2.33.4.2 Procedure
a) The fading function is set to TUhigh for MS indicating VAMOS I or VAMOS II support and TUhigh/(Corr.=0, AGI=0 dB as per 3GPP TS 45.005 Annex Q.7) for MS indicating VAMOS III support. b) The SS sets SCPIR to +4 dB. c) Depending of the indicated VAMOS type and the relevant antenna correlation and antenna gain imbalance values, the SS sets the amplitude of the wanted signal to reference sensitivity level from table 1s for VAMOS I or table 1t for VAMOS II or table 1x for VAMOS III in TS 45.005. d) The SS sends a Layer 3 message which does not require a Layer 3 response from the MS. Due to the low signal level the MS may not be able to acknowledge the Layer 2 frame with an RR frame and the SS will repeat the Layer 2 frame. Each repeated L2 frame will be counted and will indicate a frame erasure event. e) The SS determines the frame erasure events during at least the minimum number of samples of FACCH/F frames. f) The SS sets SCPIR to 0 dB and steps c) to e) are repeated. g) The SS sets SCPIR to -4 dB and steps c) to e) are repeated. h) For MS indicating VAMOS II or VAMOS III support, steps c) to e) are repeated for SCPIR -8 dB and -10 dB. i) For MS indicating VAMOS III support, steps b) to h) are repeated with the SS fading function set in turn to TU high/(Corr.=0,7, AGI=-6 dB as per 3GPP TS 45.005 Annex Q.7). NOTE: These frames will not be consecutive but it is expected that the statistical significance of the tests will not be unduly degraded.

The SS shall use Repeated SACCH for all SACCH block on the downlink for the duration of the test. Each pair of SACCH blocks (i.e. one Repeated SACCH block-pair) shall be counted as a single sample. The SS shall send different PCL for each sample following Table 14.2.36-1 for the duration of the test. Specific PICS Statements: - VAMOS I supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type1) - VAMOS II supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type2) - VAMOS III supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type3) For MS indicating VAMOS III support, connect the SS to the MS antenna connectors according to Annex A1.1.6.2.

14.2.36.4.2 Procedure
a) The fading profile is set to TU50/NoFH for MS indicating VAMOS I or VAMOS II support and TUhigh/(Corr.=0, AGI=0 dB as per 3GPP TS 45.005 Annex Q.7) for MS indicating VAMOS III support. b) Depending on the indicated VAMOS type and the relevant antenna correlation and antenna gain imbalance values, the SS sets the level of the wanted signal specified by Clev in table 14.2.36-3 through table 14.2.36-6. c) Following the reception of the last burst of the MS UL SACCH corresponding to the second SACCH block of a repeated SACCH interval, the SS shall compute the PCL value to use in the SS DL SACCH blocks for the next repeated SACCH interval using Table 14.2.36-1. i) The first two columns of Table 14.2.36-1 are inputs, the last column is a output. ii) SACCH blocks are grouped into sets of 2 consecutive SACCH blocks which is called a repeated SACCH interval. iii) Last commanded PCL by SS refers to the PCL used in the DL SACCH L1 headers for repeated SACCH interval N iv) Corresponding reported MS PCL refers to the PCL reported in the UL SACCH L1 header of second SACCH block on repeated SACCH interval N v) Next commanded PCL by SS refers to the PCL that the SS will use in the DL SACCH L1 headers for repeated SACCH interval N+1. Table 14.2.36-1: Power Control Level Used by the SS Last commanded PCL by SS Corresponding Reported MS PCL Next commanded PCL by SS 7 7 8 7 8 9 7 9 8 8 7 9 8 8 9 8 9 7 9 7 8 9 8 7 9 9 7 d) The SS compares the MS reported PCL in the uplink SACCH L1 header of the Repeated SACCH block against the expected PCL (based on the previously commanded PCL in the downlink SACCH L1 header taking into account round-trip delays). If the MS reported PCL in the uplink SACCH L1 header is different than the expected PCL, this will invoke a frame erasure event. e) The SS determines the frame erasure events during at least the minimum number of samples of SACCH frames. f) For MS indicating VAMOS III support, steps b) to e) are repeated with the SS fading function set in turn to TU high/(Corr.=0,7, AGI=-6 dB as per 3GPP TS 45.005 Annex Q.7).

14.2.36.5 Test Requirements
Testing should be performed using statistical methods that lead to an early pass/fail decision with test time significantly reduced for MS with FER not on the limit. For information on statistical testing refer to Annex 7 (A7.1.3.2) Before limit checking is valid the minimum test time due to fading needs to be considered: Table 14.2.36-2: Minimum test times due to TU50 fading conditions TCH/F @ 50 km/h Frequency /MHz 850 900 1800 1900 Wave length / m 0,35 0,33 0,17 0,16 Min.
