683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2
51.010-1
20.5.1 Definition
System information (SI) type 7 and 8 are transmitted on the BCCH Ext when the system information type 4 message does not contain all information needed for cell selection. The system information type 2 bis message is used when the system information type 2 message does not contain all neighbour cell ARFCNs. The system information type 2 ter message is used when system information type 2 messages broadcast by one cell which are system information 2 or both system information 2 and 2bis do not contain all neighbour cell ARFCNs. Test purpose 2 is not applicable for P-GSM MS. This is reflected in initial conditions step d). Test purpose 4 is only applicable to an E-GSM MS. This is reflected in initial conditions step f), test procedures d) and e) and test requirements clause 3).

Carrier 3 is only required for E-GSM MS. The BA(BCCH) list only contains the ARFCNs of the carriers used during the test and the ARFCNs specified in d) below. b) The ARFCNs of carriers 1, 2 and 3 are chosen from those in table 20.1a. c) The cell reselection parameters PENALTY_TIME, CELL_RESELECT_OFFSET and TEMPORARY_OFFSET are transmitted in the SI3, SI7 and SI8 messages on carrier 2. They are not transmitted in SI4 and the ADDITIONAL RESELECT PARAM IND parameter is set to 1. d) The SI2bis message is transmitted on carrier 1 and contains the ARFCN of carrier 2 and ARFCNs 43, 70, 500, 550, 990 and 995. The ARFCN of carrier 2 is transmitted in the SI2 message only for an MS supporting only P-GSM.. e) Carriers 1 and 2 are synchronized, but staggered in frame number so that the transmission of the SI3 message on carrier 2, coincides with the paging block which the MS is listening to on carrier 1. NOTE: Under these conditions, the MS can only decode the parameters affecting cell reselection from the SI7 or SI8 messages. To achieve this, the following conditions are used: - BS_PA_MFRMS = 4; - IMSI mod 1000 = 12; - FN carrier 1 = FN carrier 2‑21, for simultaneously transmitted frames. f) For an E-GSM MS, the SI3 message on carrier 2 indicates that SI2ter is used on carrier 2. SI2ter message contains the ARFCN of carrier 3 and ARFCNs 45, 76, 891, 905. The ARFCN of carrier 3 is transmitted neither in the SI2 nor in the SI2bis messages on carriers 1 and 2.

A running average of received signal level (RLA_C) in the preceding 5 to: - Max. {5, ((5  N + 6) DIV 7) * BS_PA_MFRMS / 4}; seconds shall be maintained for each carrier in the BCCH allocation.

20.9.3 Test purpose
1. To verify that if the MS calculates a received level average (over 5 s) for a non-serving suitable cell which results in the value of C2 exceeding the value of C2 for the serving cell, then cell reselection takes place to the non-serving cell. 2. To verify that by using suitable varying levels of signal strength for non serving cells, the MS samples on non serving cell BCCH carriers are as far as possible distributed uniformly over each evaluation period.

683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2
51.010-1
20.15.1 Definition
While camped on a cell of the selected PLMN the MS may need to select a different cell in order to fulfil the normal service state. This ensures that the MS is camped on a cell from which it can reliably decode downlink data and with which it has a high probability of communications on the uplink. This process goes on while camping on a cell which pertains to an LA which is placed in the list of "forbidden LAIs for regional provision of service".
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2
51.010-1
20.15.2 Conformance requirement
1. In response to a registration attempt, when receiving an LU reject with cause value "LA not allowed", the MS stores this LAI in a list of "forbidden LAIs for regional provision of service", to prevent repeated attempts to access a cell of the forbidden LA, 3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.3. 2. If the MS has received the cause 'LA not allowed', it shall ignore this fact when selecting a cell to camp on, i.e. it shall not reject a cell for camping on because that cell is part of a LA where this cause has been received, 3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.5.4. 3. In response to a registration attempt, when receiving an LU reject with cause value "LA not allowed", the MS continues to perform normal cell-reselection, 3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 4.4.2 4. A new LU attempt shall only be performed when a new LA (or new PLMN) is entered according to the cell reselection procedure, 3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.3 and figure 4. NOTE: LA stands for "Location Area" and LU stands for "Location Update".
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2
51.010-1
20.15.3 Test purpose
1. To verify that if an LU is rejected with cause "LA not allowed" that the LAI of that cell is written into a forbidden list which prevents the MS from performing LU onto another cell in that LA. This is verified indirectly in test purposes 2,3 and 4. 2. To verify that the MS will not reject a cell for camping on because that cell is part of a LA in the list of "forbidden LAIs for regional provision of service". This is verified indirectly by making the MS attempt an emergency call and checking that the channel request message is transmitted on the correct cell. 3. To verify that the MS when receiving an LU reject with cause value "LA not allowed", the MS continues to perform normal cell-reselection: Cell reselection is triggered if there is a better cell (in terms of the path loss criterion C2) in the same LA, or a much better cell in another LA of the selected PLMN (using the CRH parameter). 3GPP TS 03.22, subclauses 3.4 and 4.5. 4. To verify that a new LU attempt will be performed when a new LA (or new PLMN) is entered, 3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.3 and figure 4.

Only idle-paging is sent on all channels. b) The MS is switched on. c) When the MS performs an IMSI attach onto carrier 1, the SS shall reject it with cause "LA not allowed". d) 30 s after the MS has returned to idle mode (channel release after LU reject), the MS is manually commanded to set up an emergency call. NOTE 1: C2 of carrier 3 > C2 of carrier 1. Carriers 1 and 3 belong to the same LA. e) The SS rejects the CM service request from the MS, with a CM service reject message with cause value #17 (Network Failure). NOTE 2: Cause values #4 (IMSI unknown in VLR) or #6 (Illegal ME) lead to unwanted behaviour of the mobile. f) 10 s after the MS has returned to idle mode (channel release after CM service reject), the SS increases the level of carrier 2 to 65 dBV emf(). NOTE 3: C2 of carrier 2 = 30, now larger than C2 of carrier 3 + CRH. g) The SS shall accept any LU on carrier 2.
