14.7.3.4.2 Procedure
a) The SS produces a static wanted signal and a static interfering signal at the same time. The amplitude of the wanted signal is set to 4 dB above the reference sensitivity level. b) The unwanted signal is a C.W. signal (Standard test signal IO) of frequency FB. It is applied in turn on the subset of frequencies calculated in step c) in the overall range 100 kHz to 12,75 GHz, where FB is an integer multiple of 200 kHz. However, frequencies in the range FR ±600 kHz are excluded. NOTE: Allowance must be made for possible spurious signals arising from the SS. These are particularly likely at sub harmonic frequencies nFB where n = 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. c) The frequencies at which the test is performed (adjusted to an integer multiple of 200 kHz channels most closely approximating the absolute frequency of the calculated blocking signal frequency) are the combined frequencies from i), ii) and iii) below:- i) The total frequency range formed by:- R-GSM 900 the frequencies between Flo + (IF1 + IF2 + ... + IFn + 19,5 MHz) and Flo - (IF1 + IF2 + ... + IFn + 19,5 MHz). ER-GSM 900 the frequencies between Flo + (IF1 + IF2 + ... + IFn + 21,0 MHz) and Flo - (IF1 + IF2 + ... + IFn + 21,0 MHz). And the frequencies +100 MHz and -100 MHz from the edge of the relevant receive band.Measurements are made at 200 kHz intervals. ii) The three frequencies IF1, IF1 + 200 kHz, IF1 - 200 kHz. iii) The frequencies: mFlo + IF1; mFlo - IF1; mFR; where m is all positive integers greater than or equal to 2 such that either sum lies in the range 100 kHz to 12,75 GHz. The frequencies in step ii) and iii) lying in the range of frequencies defined by step i) above need not be repeated. Where: Flo - local oscillator applied to first receiver mixer IF1 ... IFn - are the n intermediate frequencies Flo, IF1, IF2 ... IFn - shall be declared by the manufacturer in the PIXIT statement 3GPP TS 51.010-1 annex 3. d) The level of the unwanted signal is set according to table 14-28b.

The SS tests the RBER compliance for the bits of class II, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class II, where bits are taken only from those frames for which no bad frame indication was given. The number of error events is recorded. If a failure is indicated it is noted and counted towards the allowed exemption totals. In the case of failures discovered at the predicted frequencies at steps f ii), iii) or iv) the test is repeated on the adjacent channels ±200 kHz away. If either of these two frequencies fail then the next channel 200 kHz beyond is also tested. This process is repeated until all channels constituting the group of failures is known.

14.8.3.4.1 Initial conditions
For 8-PSK modulation a downlink TBF is set up according to the generic procedure specified in clause 50 for packet switched with an ARFCN in the Mid ARFCN range, power control level set to maximum. The power control parameter ALPHA (α) is set to 0. The MCS is set to MCS-5 and the SS shall transmit on the maximum number of receive timeslots. For the USF BLER parts of the test case the test mode defined in GSM Rec. 4.14 (para 5.4) will be used for uplink TBF. If the MS is capable of both: Mode (a) transmitting pseudo-random data sequence in RLC data blocks Mode (b) transmitting looped-back RLC data blocks then Mode (a) will be used. If Mode (b) is used then the SS sends the pseudo-random data sequence specified for Mode (a) on the downlink for loopback on the uplink. The SS transmits EGPRS RLC data blocks containing random data. This test is performed after test 14.18.5.

14.8.3.4.2 Procedure
a) The SS produces a static wanted signal with an amplitude 4 dB above reference sensitivity level according 3GPP 45.005 table 1c. b) The SS produces an interfering signal as described below: - static fading profile; - at an in band frequency greater than 6 MHz separated from FR and separated by at least two ARFCNs from any spurious responses. NOTE: Spurious responses are identified by test case 14.18.5. - at a level as described in table 14.8.3-1. - GSM TDMA modulated by random data with one timeslot active. - synchronized to, but delayed between 61 and 86 bit periods to the bursts of the wanted signal.

NOTE: Due to the error rates related to the USF, the MS is likely to occasionally miss its USF for transmitting the Packet Downlink Ack/Nack. As this requirement is not verified in this part of the test, the SS then again assigns uplink resources so the MS can sent this message.

14.9.4.2 Procedure
The MS is paged and the SS starts timer T3113. If a CHANNEL REQUEST is received before expiry of T3113 the SS sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT. The sequence is performed 4 times. Between two consecutive executions the SS must wait for an amount of time which is enough to guarantee that the MS is in service (listening to its paging subchannel).

14.10.1.2 Conformance Requirement
For TULow channel conditions with ideal frequency hopping without DTX activated, the MS shall produce Codec Mode Requests with the following accuracy: Requirement 1: When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB higher than a defined upper threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a higher mode with a probability exceeding 90%. This shall be measured immediately after a settling-time of 200 ms. Requirement 2: When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB lower than a defined lower threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a lower mode with a probability exceeding 90%. This shall be measured immediately after a settling-time of 200 ms. If required, the above test levels shall be reduced by the fixed normalization factor defined in sub-clause 3.3.1 of TS 45.009 to account for potential improved receiver performances. NOTE: Ideal frequency hopping assumes perfect decorrelation between bursts. For the propagation profile TU3, this is not easily achievable due to the high number of hopping frequencies required. Therefore, performance tests should be performed under ideal frequency hopping conditions for the following propagation profiles: TU50 for GSM900 and GSM850, TU25 for DCS1800 and PCS1900, TU100 for GSM400, and TU60 for GSM700. 3GPP TS 45.05 subclause 2: For T-GSM 810 the requirements for GSM 900 shall apply, apart for those parameters for which a separate requirement exists.

14.10.1.4.2 Procedure
INITIAL CONFIG: 1a) The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to the following set: Codec Mode TCH/AFS in kbit/s CODEC_MODE_4 10,2 CODEC_MODE_3 7.4 CODEC_MODE_2 6,7 CODEC_MODE_1 5,15 With Initial Codec Mode unspecified, thus the default ICM rule being used and the following decision thresholds and hysteresis values: MC'/MR' THR_MC_Dn(MC)/ THR_MR_Dn(MR) THR_MC_Up(MC)/ THR_MR_Up(MR) CODEC_MODE_4 Thr1d = 17.5 dB +  CODEC_MODE_3 Thr2d = 14.5 dB Thr1u = 19.5 dB CODEC_MODE_2 Thr3d = 12.5 dB Thr2u = 16.5 dB CODEC_MODE_1   Thr3u = 14.5 dB The SS uses the expected Initial Codec Mode (default rule) after sending the mode modify message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the Initial Codec Mode as well. The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the expected Initial Codec Mode (default rule). 1b) The SS then sends an AMR_CONF_REQ through a RATSCCH message commanding the MS to use the following ACS: Codec Mode TCH/AFS in kbit/s CODEC_MODE_3 12,2 CODEC_MODE_2 7.95 CODEC_MODE_1 4,75 With the Initial Codec Mode set to the 12.2 kbit/s mode and the following decision thresholds and hysteresis values: MC'/MR' THR_MC_Dn(MC)/ THR_MR_Dn(MR) THR_MC_Up(MC)/ THR_MR_Up(MR) CODEC_MODE_3 Thr1d = 12.5 dB +  CODEC_MODE_2 Thr2d = 6.5 dB Thr1u = 14.5 dB CODEC_MODE_1   Thr2u = 8.5 dB The SS switches the downlink codec to the Initial Codec Mode 12 frames after sending the AMR_CONF_REQ message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the requested Initial Codec Mode. The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the expected Initial Codec Mode, 12 frames after receiving the ACK_OK message. The SS waits until the MS indicates in the CMR that the 12.2 kbit/s is the recommended downlink codec mode. If the MS never reaches that point then the test is failed. The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is set to 4 dB above the highest of the upwards thresholds Thr1u. The SS waits 500ms. 1c) The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is reduced to 4 dB below the highest of the downwards thresholds Thr1d. The SS increments the counter for ‘C/I decreases below thresholds’. 1d) The SS checks the CMR received from the MS 200ms after the carrier to interference has been altered. If the CMR indicates that the MS recommends to use the 7.95 kbit/s or a lower codec mode in the downlink, then the SS should increment the successful C/I decrease event counter. Otherwise, the SS should increment the unsuccessful C/I decrease event counter. 1e) The SS switches the downlink codec mode to 7.95 kbit/s and waits for 0.5s. 1f) The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is reduced to 4 dB below the lowest of the downwards thresholds Thr2d. The SS increments the counter for ‘C/I decreases below thresholds’. 1g) The SS checks the CMR received from the MS 200ms after the carrier to interference has been altered. If the CMR indicates that the MS recommends to use the 4.75 kbits/s codec mode in the downlink, then the SS should increment the successful C/I decrease event counter. Otherwise, the SS should increment the unsuccessful C/I decrease event counter. 1h) The SS switches the downlink codec mode to 4.75 kbit/s and waits for 0.5s. 1i) The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is increased to 4 dB above the lowest of the upwards thresholds Thr2u. The SS increments the counter for ‘C/I increases above thresholds’. 1j) The SS checks the CMR received from the MS 200ms after the carrier to interference has been altered. If the CMR indicates that the MS recommends to use the 7.95 kbit/s or a higher codec mode in the downlink, then the SS should increment the successful C/I increase event counter. Otherwise, the SS should increment the unsuccessful C/I increase event counter. 1k) The SS switches the downlink codec mode to 7.95 kbit/s and waits for 0.5s. 1l) The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is increased to 4 dB above the highest of the upwards thresholds Thr1u. The SS increments the counter for ‘C/I increases above thresholds’. 1m) The SS checks the CMR received by the MS 200ms after the carrier to interference has been altered. If the CMR indicates that the MS recommends to use 12.2 kbit/s in the downlink, then the SS should increment the successful C/I increase event counter. Otherwise, the SS should increment the unsuccessful C/I increase event counter. 1n) The SS switches the downlink codec mode to 12.2 kbit/s and waits for 0.5s. 1o) The SS repeats steps 1c) to 1n) until 500 samples of C/I increases and 500 samples of C/I decreases have been recorded. STEP 2: 2a) The unwanted signal is removed. The SS then sends an AMR_CONF_REQ through a RATSCCH message commanding the MS to use the following ACS: Codec Mode TCH/AFS in kbit/s CODEC_MODE_4 10,2 CODEC_MODE_3 7.4 CODEC_MODE_2 6,7 CODEC_MODE_1 5,15 With the Initial Codec Mode set to any mode and the following decision thresholds and hysteresis values: MC'/MR' THR_MC_Dn(MC)/ THR_MR_Dn(MR) THR_MC_Up(MC)/ THR_MR_Up(MR) CODEC_MODE_4 Thr1d = 17.5 dB +  CODEC_MODE_3 Thr2d = 14.5 dB Thr1u = 19.5 dB CODEC_MODE_2 Thr3d = 12.5 dB Thr2u = 16.5 dB CODEC_MODE_1   Thr3u = 14.5 dB The SS switches the downlink codec to the Initial Codec Mode 12 frames after sending the AMR_CONF_REQ message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the requested Initial Codec Mode. The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the expected Initial Codec Mode, 12 frames after receiving the ACK_OK message. 2b) The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to the following set: Codec Mode TCH/AFS in kbit/s CODEC_MODE_3 12,2 CODEC_MODE_2 7.95 CODEC_MODE_1 4,75 With the Initial Codec Mode set to the 12.2 kbit/s mode and the following decision thresholds and hysteresis values: MC'/MR' THR_MC_Dn(MC)/ THR_MR_Dn(MR) THR_MC_Up(MC)/ THR_MR_Up(MR) CODEC_MODE_3 Thr1d = 11.5 dB +  CODEC_MODE_2 Thr2d = 5.5 dB Thr1u = 13.5 dB CODEC_MODE_1   Thr2u = 7.5 dB The SS switches the downlink codec to the Initial Codec Mode after sending the mode modify message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the Initial Codec Mode as well. The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the expected Initial Codec Mode. The SS waits until the MS indicates in the CMR that the 12.2 kbit/s is the recommended downlink codec mode. If the MS never reaches that point then the test is failed. The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is set to 4 dB above the highest of the upwards thresholds Thr1u. The SS waits 500ms 2c) The SS repeats steps 1c) to 1n) until 500 samples of C/I increases and 500 samples of C/I decreases have been recorded. STEP 3: 3a) The unwanted signal is removed. The SS then sends an AMR_CONF_REQ through a RATSCCH message commanding the MS to use the AMR 7.95 kbit/s mode only: The SS switches the downlink codec to the 7.95 mode 12 frames after sending the AMR_CONF_REQ message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the requested codec. The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the expected codec, 12 frames after receiving the ACK_OK message. 3b) The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to the following set: Codec Mode TCH/AFS in kbit/s CODEC_MODE_3 12,2 CODEC_MODE_2 7.95 CODEC_MODE_1 4,75 With the Initial Codec Mode set to the 12.2 kbit/s mode and the following decision thresholds and hysteresis values: MC'/MR' THR_MC_Dn(MC)/ THR_MR_Dn(MR) THR_MC_Up(MC)/ THR_MR_Up(MR) CODEC_MODE_3 Thr1d = 18.5 dB +  CODEC_MODE_2 Thr2d = 10.5 dB Thr1u = 20.5 dB CODEC_MODE_1   Thr2u = 12.5 dB The SS switches the downlink codec to the Initial Codec Mode after sending the mode modify message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the Initial Codec Mode as well. The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the expected Initial Codec Mode The SS waits until the MS indicates in the CMR that the 12.2 kbit/s is the recommended downlink codec mode. If the MS never reaches that point then the test is failed. 3c) The SS then sends a THRESH_REQ through a RATSCCH message commanding the MS to modify the Thresholds and Hysteresis to the following values: MC'/MR' THR_MC_Dn(MC)/ THR_MR_Dn(MR) THR_MC_Up(MC)/ THR_MR_Up(MR) CODEC_MODE_3 Thr1d = 13.5 dB +  CODEC_MODE_2 Thr2d = 7.5 dB Thr1u = 15.5 dB CODEC_MODE_1   Thr2u = 9.5 dB The SS waits 12 frames after receiving the ACK_OK message. 3d) The SS waits until the MS indicates in the CMR that the 12.2 kbit/s is the recommended downlink codec mode. If the MS never reaches that point then the test is failed. The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is set to 4 dB above the highest of the upwards thresholds Thr1u. The SS waits 500ms 3e) The SS repeats steps 1c) to 1n) until 500 samples of C/I increases and 500 samples of C/I decreases have been recorded. STEP 4: 4a) The unwanted signal is removed. The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure commanding the MS to use the AMR 10.2 kbit/s mode only: The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the 10.2 kbit/s mode. 4b) The SS then sends an AMR_CONF_REQ through a RATSCCH message commanding the MS to use the following ACS: Codec Mode TCH/AFS in kbit/s CODEC_MODE_3 12,2 CODEC_MODE_2 7.95 CODEC_MODE_1 4,75 With the Initial Codec Mode set to the 12.2 kbit/s mode and the following decision thresholds and hysteresis values: MC'/MR' THR_MC_Dn(MC)/ THR_MR_Dn(MR) THR_MC_Up(MC)/ THR_MR_Up(MR) CODEC_MODE_3 Thr1d = 12.5 dB +  CODEC_MODE_2 Thr2d = 6.5 dB Thr1u = 14.5 dB CODEC_MODE_1   Thr2u = 8.5 dB The SS switches the downlink codec to the Initial Codec Mode 12 frames after sending the AMR_CONF_REQ message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the requested Initial Codec Mode.

The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is set to 4 dB above the highest of the upwards thresholds Thr1u. The SS waits 500ms 4c) The SS repeats steps 1c) to 1n) until 500 samples of C/I increases and 500 samples of C/I decreases have been recorded. NOTE: The core specifications state that an MS shall respond to a change of C/I within 200ms. The core specifications place no bounds on magnitude or rate of change of C/I. For this test the magnitude of change is bounded by THRESH and HYST selection, and the rate of change is bounded by the 500ms wait periods. These bounds are selected to ensure an MS implementation is not adversely biased by this test. Maximum/Minimum Duration of Test Maximum/minimum: 54 minutes (GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900).

For TULow channel conditions with ideal frequency hopping without DTX activated, the MS shall produce Codec Mode Requests with the following accuracy: Requirement 1: When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB higher than a defined upper threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a higher mode with a probability exceeding 90%.

14.10.2.4.2 Procedure
INITIAL CONFIG: 1a) The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to the following set: Codec Mode TCH/AHS in kbit/s CODEC_MODE_4 7.4 CODEC_MODE_3 6.7 CODEC_MODE_2 5.15 CODEC_MODE_1 4.75 With Initial Codec Mode unspecified, thus the default ICM rule being used and the following decision thresholds and hysteresis values: MC'/MR' THR_MC_Dn(MC)/ THR_MR_Dn(MR) THR_MC_Up(MC)/ THR_MR_Up(MR) CODEC_MODE_4 Thr1d = 17.5 dB +  CODEC_MODE_3 Thr2d = 14.5 dB Thr1u = 19.5 dB CODEC_MODE_2 Thr3d = 12.5 dB Thr2u = 16.5 dB CODEC_MODE_1   Thr3u = 14.5 dB The SS uses the expected Initial Codec Mode (default rule) after sending the mode modify message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the Initial Codec Mode as well. The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the expected Initial Codec Mode (default rule). 1b) The SS then sends an AMR_CONF_REQ through a RATSCCH message commanding the MS to use the following ACS: Codec Mode TCH/AHS in kbit/s CODEC_MODE_3 7.95 CODEC_MODE_2 6.7 CODEC_MODE_1 4,75 With the Initial Codec Mode set to the 7.95 kbit/s mode and the following decision thresholds and hysteresis values: MC'/MR' THR_MC_Dn(MC)/ THR_MR_Dn(MR) THR_MC_Up(MC)/ THR_MR_Up(MR) CODEC_MODE_3 Thr1d = 14.0 dB +  CODEC_MODE_2 Thr2d = 10.0 dB Thr1u = 16.0 dB CODEC_MODE_1   Thr2u = 12.0 dB The SS switches the downlink codec to the Initial Codec Mode 12 frames after sending the AMR_CONF_REQ message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the requested Initial Codec Mode. The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the expected Initial Codec Mode, 12 frames after receiving the ACK_OK message. The SS waits until the MS indicates in the CMR that the 7.95 kbit/s is the recommended downlink codec mode. If the MS never reaches that point then the test is failed. The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is set to 4 dB above the highest of the upwards thresholds Thr1u. The SS waits 1 second. 1c) The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is reduced to 4 dB below the highest of the downwards thresholds Thr1d. The SS increments the counter for ‘C/I decreases below thresholds’. 1d) The SS checks the CMR received from the MS 200ms after the carrier to interference has been altered. If the CMR indicates that the MS recommends to use the 6.7 kbit/s or a lower codec mode in the downlink, then the SS should increment the successful C/I decrease event counter. Otherwise, the SS should increment the unsuccessful C/I decrease event counter. 1e) The SS switches the downlink codec mode to 6.7 kbit/s and waits for 0.5s. 1f) The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is reduced to 4 dB below the lowest of the downwards thresholds Thr2d.

The SS increments the counter for ‘C/I increases above thresholds’. 1j) The SS checks the CMR received from the MS 200ms after the carrier to interference has been altered. If the CMR indicates that the MS recommends to use the 6.7 kbit/s or a higher codec mode in the downlink, then the SS should increment the successful C/I increase event counter. Otherwise, the SS should increment the unsuccessful C/I increase event counter. 1k) The SS switches the downlink codec mode to 6.7 kbit/s and waits for 0.5s. 1l) The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is increased to 4 dB above the highest of the upwards thresholds Thr1u. The SS increments the counter for ‘C/I increases above thresholds’. 1m) The SS checks the CMR received from the MS 200ms after the carrier to interference has been altered. If the CMR indicates that the MS recommends to use 7.95 kbit/s in the downlink, then the SS should increment the successful C/I increase event counter. Otherwise, the SS should increment the unsuccessful C/I increase event counter. 1n) The SS switches the downlink codec mode to 7.95 kbit/s and waits for 0.5s. 1o) The SS repeat steps 1c) to 1n) until 500 samples of C/I increases and 500 samples of C/I decreases samples have been recorded.

The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the expected Initial Codec Mode, 12 frames after receiving the ACK_OK message. 2b) The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to the following set: Codec Mode TCH/AHS in kbit/s CODEC_MODE_3 7.95 CODEC_MODE_2 6.7 CODEC_MODE_1 4,75 With the Initial Codec Mode set to the 7.95 kbit/s mode and the following decision thresholds and hysteresis values: MC'/MR' THR_MC_Dn(MC)/ THR_MR_Dn(MR) THR_MC_Up(MC)/ THR_MR_Up(MR) CODEC_MODE_3 Thr1d = 13.0 dB +  CODEC_MODE_2 Thr2d = 9 dB Thr1u = 15.0 dB CODEC_MODE_1   Thr2u = 11.0 dB The SS switches the downlink codec to the Initial Codec Mode after sending the mode modify message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the Initial Codec Mode as well. The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the expected Initial Codec Mode. The SS waits until the MS indicates in the CMR that the 7.95 kbit/s is the recommended downlink codec mode. If the MS never reaches that point then the test is failed. The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is set to 4 dB above the highest of the upwards thresholds Thr1u. The SS waits 500ms 2c) The SS repeats steps 1c) to 1n) until 500 samples of C/I increases and 500 samples of C/I decreases have been recorded. STEP 3: 3a) The unwanted signal is removed. The SS then sends an AMR_CONF_REQ through a RATSCCH message commanding the MS to use the AMR 6.7 kbit/s mode only: The SS switches the downlink codec to the 6.7 mode 12 frames after sending the AMR_CONF_REQ message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the requested codec.

The SS waits 500ms 4c) The SS repeats steps 1c) to 1n) until 500 samples of C/I increases and 500 samples of C/I decreases have been recorded. NOTE: The core specifications state that an MS shall respond to a change of C/I within 200ms. The core specifications place no bounds on magnitude or rate of change of C/I. For this test the magnitude of change is bounded by THRESH and HYST selection, and the rate of change is bounded by the 500ms wait periods. These bounds are selected to ensure an MS implementation is not adversely biased by this test. Maximum/Minimum Duration of Test Maximum/minimum: 54 minutes (GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900).

14.10.3.2 Conformance Requirement
For TULow channel conditions with ideal frequency hopping without DTX activated, the MS shall produce Codec Mode Requests with the following accuracy: Requirement 1: When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB higher than a defined upper threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a higher mode with a probability exceeding 90%. This shall be measured immediately after a settling-time of 200 ms. Requirement 2: When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB lower than a defined lower threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a lower mode with a probability exceeding 90%. This shall be measured immediately after a settling-time of 200 ms. The above test levels shall be reduced by the normalization factor defined in sub-clause 3.3.1 of TS 45.009 to account for improved receiver performances, specified in 14.10.3.4.1 below. NOTE: Ideal frequency hopping assumes perfect decorrelation between bursts. For the propagation profile TU3, this is not easily achievable due to the high number of hopping frequencies required. Therefore, performance tests should be performed under ideal frequency hopping conditions for the following propagation profiles: TU50 for GSM900 and GSM850, TU25 for DCS1800 and PCS1900, TU100 for GSM400, and TU60 for GSM700. 3GPP TS 45.05 subclause 2: For T-GSM 810 the requirements for GSM 900 shall apply, apart for those parameters for which a separate requirement exists.

14.10.3.3 Test Purpose
1. To verify that the MS does not exceed conformance requirement 1 under TUHigh and frequency hopping propagation conditions without DTX with an allowance for the statistical significance of the test. 2. To verify that the MS does not exceed conformance requirement 2 under TUHigh and frequency hopping propagation conditions without DTX with an allowance for the statistical significance of the test. 3. To implicitly verify the correct implementation of the AMR Thresholds and Hysteresis parameters received in either an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND or MODE MODIFY procedure, or through an AMR_CONFIG_REQ or THRESH_REQ message carried in a RATSCCH. NOTE: This would normally be performed as a signalling test, however due to the complex layer 1 requirements it is verified here. Any future modification or Change Request on this section should take into account this additional test objective. NOTE: The C/I values used throughout this test have been carefully selected to ensure no values above 16dB are signalled, low C/I values will not conflict with the synchronisation requirements in TS 45.010, and also to ensure the C/I values are shared between upward and downward applications. Any future modification or Change Request on this section should take into account these aspects.

These bounds are selected to ensure an MS implementation is not adversely biased by this test. Maximum/Minimum Duration of Test Maximum/minimum: 54 minutes (GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900).

14.10.4.2 Conformance Requirement
For TULow channel conditions with ideal frequency hopping without DTX activated, the MS shall produce Codec Mode Requests with the following accuracy: Requirement 1: When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB higher than a defined upper threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a higher mode with a probability exceeding 90%. This shall be measured immediately after a settling-time of 200 ms. Requirement 2: When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB lower than a defined lower threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a lower mode with a probability exceeding 90%. This shall be measured immediately after a settling-time of 200 ms. The above test levels shall be reduced by the normalization factor defined in sub-clause 3.3.1 of TS 45.009 to account for improved receiver performances, specified in 14.10.3.4.1 below. NOTE: Ideal frequency hopping assumes perfect decorrelation between bursts. For the propagation profile TU3, this is not easily achievable due to the high number of hopping frequencies required. Therefore, performance tests should be performed under ideal frequency hopping conditions for the following propagation profiles: TU50 for GSM900 and GSM850, TU25 for DCS1800 and PCS1900, TU100 for GSM400, and TU60 for GSM700. 3GPP TS 45.05 subclause 2: For T-GSM 810 the requirements for GSM 900 shall apply, apart for those parameters for which a separate requirement exists.

14.10.4.3 Test Purpose
1. To verify that the MS does not exceed conformance requirement 1 under TUHigh and frequency hopping propagation conditions without DTX with an allowance for the statistical significance of the test. 2. To verify that the MS does not exceed conformance requirement 2 under TUHigh and frequency hopping propagation conditions without DTX with an allowance for the statistical significance of the test. 3. To implicitly verify the correct implementation of the AMR Thresholds and Hysteresis parameters received in ether an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND or MODE MODIFY procedure, or through an AMR_CONFIG_REQ or and in a AMR_CONFIG_REQ message carried in a RATSCCH. NOTE: This would normally be performed as a signalling test, however due to the complex layer 1 requirements it is verified here. Any future modification or Change Request on this section should take into account this additional test objective. NOTE: The C/I values used throughout this test have been carefully selected to ensure no values above 16dB are signalled, low C/I values will not conflict with the synchronisation requirements in TS 45.010, and also to ensure the C/I values are shared between upward and downward applications. Any future modification or Change Request on this section should take into account these aspects.

14.10.5.2 Conformance Requirement
For TULow channel conditions with ideal frequency hopping without DTX activated, the MS shall produce Codec Mode Requests with the following accuracy: Requirement 1: When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB higher than a defined upper threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a higher mode with a probability exceeding 90%. This shall be measured immediately after a settling-time of 200 ms. Requirement 2: When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB lower than a defined lower threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a lower mode with a probability exceeding 90%. This shall be measured immediately after a settling-time of 200 ms. If required, the above test levels shall be reduced by the fixed normalization factor defined in sub-clause 3.3.1 of TS 45.009 to account for potential improved receiver performances. NOTE: Ideal frequency hopping assumes perfect decorrelation between bursts. For the propagation profile TU3, this is not easily achievable due to the high number of hopping frequencies required. Therefore, performance tests should be performed under ideal frequency hopping conditions for the following propagation profiles: TU50 for GSM900 and GSM850, TU25 for DCS1800 and PCS1900, TU100 for GSM400, and TU60 for GSM700. 3GPP TS 45.05 subclause 2: For T-GSM 810 the requirements for GSM 900 shall apply, apart for those parameters for which a separate requirement exists.

For TU3 channel conditions with ideal frequency hopping without DTX activated in GSM900 and GSM850, the MS shall produce Codec Mode Requests with the following accuracy: - When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB higher than a defined upper threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a higher mode with a probability exceeding 90%. This shall be measured immediately after a settling-time of 200 ms. - When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB lower than a defined lower threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a lower mode with a probability exceeding 90%. This shall be measured immediately after a settling-time of 200 ms. If required, the above test levels shall be reduced by the normalization factor defined in sub-clause 3.3.1 to account for potential improved receiver performances. For other frequency bands, the propagation profile should be adjusted to: TU1.5 for DCS1800 and PCS1900, TU6 for GSM400 and TU3.6 for GSM700. NOTE 1: Ideal frequency hopping assumes perfect decorrelation between bursts. For the propagation profile TU3, this is not easily achievable due to the high number of hopping frequencies required.

14.10.6.4.2 Procedure
INITIAL CONFIG: 1a) The SS uses a Channel Mode Modify procedure to change the active codec set to the following set: Codec Mode O-TCH/WFS in kbit/s CODEC_MODE_4 23,85 CODEC_MODE_3 12,65 CODEC_MODE_2 8,85 CODEC_MODE_1 6,6 With Initial Codec Mode unspecified, thus the default ICM rule being used and the following decision thresholds and hysteresis values: MC'/MR' THR_MC_Dn(MC)/ THR_MR_Dn(MR) THR_MC_Up(MC)/ THR_MR_Up(MR) CODEC_MODE_4 Thr1d = 17.5 dB  CODEC_MODE_3 Thr2d = 14.5 dB Thr1u = 19.5 dB CODEC_MODE_2 Thr3d = 12.5 dB Thr2u = 16.5 dB CODEC_MODE_1  Thr3u = 14.5 dB The SS uses the expected Initial Codec Mode (default rule) after sending the mode modify message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the Initial Codec Mode as well. The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the expected Initial Codec Mode (default rule). 1b) The SS then sends an AMR_CONF_REQ through a RATSCCH message commanding the MS to use the following ACS: Codec Mode O-TCH/WFS in kbit/s CODEC_MODE_3 12,65 CODEC_MODE_2 8,85 CODEC_MODE_1 6,6 With the Initial Codec Mode set to the 12.65 kbit/s mode and the following decision thresholds and hysteresis values: MC'/MR' THR_MC_Dn(MC)/ THR_MR_Dn(MR) THR_MC_Up(MC)/ THR_MR_Up(MR) CODEC_MODE_3 Thr1d = 12.5 dB  CODEC_MODE_2 Thr2d = 6.5 dB Thr1u = 14.5 dB CODEC_MODE_1  Thr2u = 8.5 dB The SS switches the downlink codec to the Initial Codec Mode 12 frames after sending the AMR_CONF_REQ message and commands the MS through the CMC field to use the requested Initial Codec Mode. The SS waits for the MS to change the uplink codec to the expected Initial Codec Mode, 12 frames after receiving the ACK_OK message. The SS waits until the MS indicates in the CMR that the 12.65 kbit/s is the recommended downlink codec mode. If the MS never reaches that point then the test is failed. The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is set to 4 dB above the highest of the upwards thresholds Thr1u. The SS waits 500ms. 1c) The downlink radio environment is altered so that the carrier to interference ratio is reduced to 4 dB below the highest of the downwards thresholds Thr1d.

14.10.7.2 Conformance Requirement
For TULow channel conditions with ideal frequency hopping without DTX activated, the MS shall produce Codec Mode Requests with the following accuracy: Requirement 1: When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB higher than a defined upper threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a higher mode with a probability exceeding 90%. This shall be measured immediately after a settling-time of 200 ms. Requirement 2: When a carrier to interferer ratio 4 dB lower than a defined lower threshold is applied to the antenna connector, the MS shall request a lower mode with a probability exceeding 90%. This shall be measured immediately after a settling-time of 200 ms. If required, the above test levels shall be reduced by the fixed normalization factor defined in sub-clause 3.3.1 of TS 45.009 to account for potential improved receiver performances. NOTE: Ideal frequency hopping assumes perfect decorrelation between bursts. For the propagation profile TU3, this is not easily achievable due to the high number of hopping frequencies required. Therefore, performance tests should be performed under ideal frequency hopping conditions for the following propagation profiles: TU50 for GSM900 and GSM850, TU25 for DCS1800 and PCS1900, TU100 for GSM400, and TU60 for GSM700.

14.10.7.3 Test Purpose
1. To verify that the MS does not exceed conformance requirement 1 under TUHigh and frequency hopping propagation conditions without DTX with an allowance for the statistical significance of the test. 2. To verify that the MS does not exceed conformance requirement 2 under TUHigh and frequency hopping propagation conditions without DTX with an allowance for the statistical significance of the test. 3. To implicitly verify the correct implementation of the AMR Thresholds and Hysteresis parameters received in either an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND or MODE MODIFY procedure, or through an AMR_CONFIG_REQ or THRESH_REQ message carried in a RATSCCH. NOTE: This would normally be performed as a signalling test, however due to the complex layer 1 requirements it is verified here. Any future modification or Change Request on this section should take into account this additional test objective.

These bounds are selected to ensure an MS implementation is not adversely biased by this test. Maximum/Minimum Duration of Test Maximum/minimum: 54 minutes (GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900).

14.10.7.5 Test requirements
The requirement and minimum set of samples shall not exceed the values given in the following table for each set of thresholds. Event Maximum allowed error rate Minimum No. of samples C/I increases over Thresholds 11% 2000 C/I decreases below Thresholds 11% 2000 NOTE: The maximum allowed error rates for the C/I thresholds are derived from the average of the C/I event counters in Step 1 to Step 4 of the method of test.
