20.16.2 Conformance requirement
|
The downlink signalling failure criterion is based on the downlink signalling failure counter DSC.
1. When the MS camps on a cell, DSC shall be initialized to a value equal to the nearest integer to 90/N where N is the BS_PA_MFRMS parameter for that cell (see 3GPP TS 05.02).
2. Thereafter, whenever the MS attempts to decode a message in its paging subchannel; if a message is successfully decoded DSC is increased by 1,(however never beyond the nearest integer to 90/N).
3. Whenever the MS can not successfully decode a message in its paging subchannel the DSC is decreased by 4.
4. When DSC reaches 0, a downlink signalling failure shall be declared. A downlink signalling failure shall result in cell reselection, 3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 4.5 (ii) and 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.5.
NOTE: The network sends the paging subchannel for a given MS every BS_PA_MFRMS multiframes. The requirement for network transmission on the paging subchannel is specified in 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018. The MS is required to attempt to decode a message every time its paging subchannel is sent.

20.16.4.2 Procedure
|
a) The MS is switched on. On carrier 1 valid layer 3 messages shall be sent in the paging blocks, but not paging the MS (idle paging). On carrier 2 the MS is paged continuously in all paging blocks.
b) After 40 s the SS sends corrupted data (using random data, wrong parity bits see 3GPP TS 05.03, subclauses 4.3 and 4.1.2 or other lower layer error) in four successive paging blocks to carrier 1 and then reverts to sending normal data.
NOTE 1: Sending corrupted, i.e. non-decodable data on four successive paging blocks should decrease the DSC to 2.
c) The SS monitors all accesses on both carriers for 30 s.
d) The SS sends corrupted data in five successive paging blocks to carrier 1 and then reverts to sending normal data.
NOTE 2: Sending random, data on five successive paging blocks should decrease the DSC to < 0 and cause a cell reselection.
e) The SS monitors all accesses on both carriers for 30 s.

20.17.4.2 Procedure
|
a) The MS is switched on. Idle paging is sent on carrier 1.
b) After the MS indicates service the SS reduces the transmit level of carrier 1 to 13 dBV emf() (so that C1 of carrier 1 becomes ‑10) and turns on a new carrier (carrier 2) at a level of 33 dBV emf(). Carrier 2 shall not be in the MS BA list (i.e. it shall not be one of the carriers that MS has been monitoring after camped on carrier 1).
c) The SS shall monitor all accesses on carriers 1 and 2 for 60 s.
NOTE: The access on carrier 2 should not take longer than 50 s. (5 s to rxlev averages, 5 s for C1 < 0 duration, 10 s for searching another suitable cell, 30 s for cell selection), 60 s is a safe time to wait.

|
51.010-1
|
20.18.1 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.
The MS looks for suitable neighbour cells which satisfies 4 constraints including that It should not be in an LA which is in the list of "forbidden LAs for roaming".
|
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2
|
51.010-1
|
20.18.2 Conformance requirement
|
1. To prevent repeated attempts to have roaming service on a not allowed LA, when the MS is informed that an LA is forbidden, the LA is added to a list of "forbidden LAs for roaming" which is stored in the MS, 3GPP TS 03.22; subclause 3.1.
2. If the MS has received the cause "Roaming not allowed in this LA", in response to a LU attempt, the Network Selection Procedure shall be started, 3GPP TS 03.22; subclause 4.3.3 L3, 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 24.008, subclause 4.4.4.7.
3. The MS can only perform camping on a suitable cell, which:
- should not be in an LA which is in the list of "forbidden LAs for roaming" 3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.2.1.
NOTE: LA stands for "Location Area" and LU stands for "Location Update".

683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2
|
51.010-1
|
20.18.3 Test purpose
|
1. To verify that if an LU is rejected with cause "Roaming not allowed in this LA", that the LAI of that cell is written into a forbidden list which prevents the MS from camping onto any cell in that LA.
2. To verify that if the MS has received the cause "Roaming not allowed in this LA", in response to a LU attempt, the Network Selection Procedure is initiated. This is verified indirectly by test purpose 3, in that the new LA is accessed as part of cell selection, hence CRH is disregarded.
3. To verify that if an LU is rejected, when attempting LU in a LA with LAI = LAI1, with cause "Roaming not allowed in this LA" and only cells of the selected PLMN are available, the MS will only camp and attempt LU in any LA with LAI <> LAI1.

1. When the SS releases a TCH or SDCCH and returns to idle mode, it shall, as quickly as possible camp on the BCCH carrier of the cell whose channel has just been released. If the full BCCH data for that cell was not decoded in the preceding 30 s, the MS shall then attempt to decode the full BCCH data. Until the MS has decoded the BCCH data required for determining the paging group, it shall also monitor all paging blocks on timeslot 0 of the BCCH carrier for possible paging messages that might address it. If the MS receives a page before having decoded the full BCCH data for the cell, the MS shall store the page and respond once the full BCCH data has been decoded, provided that the cell is not barred and the MSs access class is allowed. 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.7.

20.19.4.2 Test procedure
|
a) The SS activates the carriers. No paging messages are transmitted on carrier 1 or carrier 2.
b) The MS is switched on.
c) In response to the MS access for IMSI attach, the SS allocates a combined SDDCH/4, accepts the IMSI attach procedure and then releases the link. After 0,5 s but within 1 second of transmitting the UA frame on completion of the IMSI attach procedure, the SS transmits a single PAGING REQUEST in the appropriate paging block of the MS on carrier 1.
d) When the MS responds to paging, the SS establishes a call on a traffic channel.
e) The SS increases the level of carrier 2 to 63 dBmV emf().
f) After 10 s the SS performs a handover to another TCH, with the parameters of carrier 2 indicated in the CELL DESCRIPTION information element of the HANDOVER COMMAND message.
g) After a further 10 s, the SS clears down the call. After 0,5 s but within 1 second of transmitting the UA frame, the SS transmits a single PAGING REQUEST on carrier 2 in the appropriate paging block of the MS.

|
20.20.1.1 Definition
|
Multiband cell selection is a process in which a multiband MS, whenever a new PLMN is selected, attempts to find a suitable cell of that PLMN to camp on, irrespective of frequency band. Two methods of searching for a suitable cell are possible, normal cell selection and stored list cell selection. The process 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. Once the MS is camped on a cell, access to the network is allowed.

|
20.20.1.2 Conformance requirement
|
1. The MS shall search all RF channels within its bands of operation, take readings of received RF signal level on each RF channel, and calculate the RLA_C for each. The averaging is based on at least five measurement samples per RF carrier spread over 3 to 5 s, the measurement samples from the different RF carriers being spread evenly during this period.
A multi band MS shall search all channels within its bands of operation as specified above. The number of channels searched will be the sum of channels on each band of operation.
3GPP TS 45.008, subclause 6.2.
2. … the MS shall be able to select the correct (fourth strongest) cell and be able to respond to paging on that cell within 30 s of switch on, when the three strongest cells are not suitable. This assumes a valid SIM, with PIN disabled and ideal radio conditions; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.1.
3. There are various requirements that a cell must satisfy before an MS can perform normal camping on it:
3.1 (i) It should be a cell of the selected PLMN
3.2 (ii) It should not be "barred" (see subclause 3.5.1)
3.3 (iv) The radio path loss between MS and BTS must be below a threshold set by the PLMN operator. This is estimated as shown in subclause 3.6.
3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.2.1.
NOTE: Criteria (iii) is not applicable for Cell Selection
4. Initially the MS looks for a cell which satisfies these 4 constraints ("suitable cell") by checking cells in descending order of received signal strength. If a suitable cell is found, the MS camps on it; 3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.2.1.
5. The MS shall be able to calculate correctly the path loss criterion parameter C1, used for cell selection and reselection; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.4.

Carrier 1, 2 and 3 ARFCNs are chosen in the lower band, carrier 4, 5, 6 and 7 ARFCNs in the higher band.
The BA(BCCH) list contains only eight ARFCNs and includes those of carriers 1 to 7.
BS_PA_MFRMS is set to 3 during this test.
NOTE: The combination of 8 carriers on the BA list and BS_PA_MFRMS = 3 leads to averaging time of 5 s. Hence 5 s is also the updating time of the list of six strongest neighbour carriers.

20.20.2.4.2 Procedure
|
a) The SS activates carriers 1 to 6. The MS is not paged on any of the carriers.
b) The MS is switched on.
c) After 60 s, the SS deactivates carrier 4 and activates carrier 7 and pages the MS continuously on carrier 7. The SS monitors carrier 7 for RA requests from the MS.
d) The MS is switched off.
e) The SS is reconfigured and sets PT = 0 and CRO = 0 on carrier 7 (thus increasing C2 to 40 dB).
f) The SS activates carriers 1 to 6. The MS is not paged on any of the carriers.
g) The MS is switched on.
h) After 60 s, the SS deactivates carrier 4 and activates carrier 7 and pages the MS continuously on carrier 7. The SS monitors carrier 7 for RA requests from the MS.
i) 20 s after receiving an RA request on carrier 7 the SS sets PT = 11111 and CRO = 20 dB on carrier 7 (thus decreasing C2 to 20dB), stops paging on carrier 7, and pages the MS continuously on carrier 1. The SS monitors carrier 1 for RA requests from the MS.
j) The MS is switched off.
k) For multiband MS supporting three or more bands all valid combinations of two bands shall be tested using the steps from a) to j). The valid combinations are indicated in sub-clause 26.11.6 Multiband signalling / Default messages contents.

20.20.2.5 Test requirements
|
1) After step c) there shall be no response from the MS on carrier 7 within 55 s of activating carrier 7.
2) After step h) the MS shall access on carrier 7 within 55 s of activating carrier 7.
NOTE: 5,5 s to notice new strongest carrier in top 6 (because the updating time for six strongest is 5 s (+10 %)), 33 s to read BCCH, 15 s for reselection, since the MS has already performed the running average on the new strongest carrier, allow 55 s.
3) After step i) the MS shall access on carrier 1 within 55 s of setting PT and CRO on carrier 7.

20.21 R-GSM or ER-GSM cell selection and reselection
|
In the following paragraphs some explanatory text is given concerning the nature of the tests in this subclause and the general behaviour of the SS is described.
Since the conformance requirements of most of the tests in this subclause cannot be tested explicitly, testing is done implicitly by testing the MS behaviour from its responses to the SS.
The SS transmits one BCCH carrier per cell as indicated in the initial conditions for each test. These are referred to as carrier 1, carrier 2, etc. It is assumed that the SS can simultaneously transmit seven BCCH carriers and monitor three random access channels. For multiband tests it is assumed that at least one of the BCCH carriers and one of the monitored random access channels is in a different frequency band from the others. In some cases, a test is performed in multiple stages in order that the requirements can be tested within the above constraints.
For any MS all the carriers are in its supported band(s) of operation. For an R-GSM or ER-GSM mobile station at least one of the carriers is chosen respectively between ARFCN 955-974 or ARFCN 940-974 and one of the carriers is in the primary band.
Unless otherwise stated in the method of test, in all of the tests of this subclause:
- The SS is continuously paging the MS on all carriers at the start of the test and does not respond to RACH requests from the MS. Where a test specifies that the MS is not paged on a particular carrier, only idle paging is transmitted according to 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018, subclause 3.2.2.2.
- The default values of the system information data fields given in table 20.21.1 are used.
- The SIM is in the idle updated state in the default location area with a TMSI assigned at the beginning of each test.
- The ARFCNs used for the carriers in each test are chosen from those in table 20.21.1 with adjacent carriers separated by a minimum of three channels.
The absolute accuracy of the MS signal level measurements is assumed to be ±6 dB. A difference of at least 8 dB is allowed for cases of discrimination between C1 or C2 values and 0.
The relative accuracy of the MS signal level measurements is assumed to be ±3 dB for the signal levels used in the tests of this subclause, except for subclause 20.20, where the relative accuracy is assumed to be ±5 dB if the measurements are on different frequency bands. A difference of at least 5 dB is allowed for cases of discrimination between C1 or C2 values on different carriers, except for subclause 20.20, where a difference of at least 10 dB is allowed if the measurements are on different frequency bands.
NOTE 1: The accuracy of MS signal level measurements is specified in 3GPP TS 05.08. For all of the tests in this subclause, the signal levels used are greater than 1 dB above reference sensitivity level.
NOTE 2: The tolerance on timers specified in 3GPP TS 05.08 is ±10 % except for PENALTY_TIME where it is ±2 s. In the tests of this subclause, the test requirements include these tolerances. Consequently, the times stated in the test requirement sometimes differ from the corresponding timer in the conformance requirement.
Where pulsed signals are specified, the SS tolerance on pulse width is ±2 % and the SS tolerance on power level ±1 dB.

20.21.1.1 Definition
|
Cell selection is a process in which a MS, whenever a new PLMN is selected, attempts to find a suitable cell of that PLMN to camp on. Two methods of searching for a suitable cell are possible, normal cell selection and stored list cell selection. The process 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. Once the MS is camped on a cell, access to the network is allowed.

20.21.1.2 Conformance requirement
|
1. … the MS shall be able to select the correct (fourth strongest) cell and be able to respond to paging on that cell within 30 s of switch on, when the three strongest cells are not suitable. This assumes a valid SIM, with PIN disabled and ideal radio conditions; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.1.
2. There are various requirements that a cell must satisfy before an MS can perform normal camping on it:
2.1 (i) It should be a cell of the selected PLMN.
2.2 (ii) It should not be "barred" (see subclause 3.5.1).
2.3 (iv) The radio path loss between MS and BTS must be below a threshold set by the PLMN operator. This is estimated as shown in subclause 3.6.
3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.2.1.
NOTE: Criteria (iii) is not applicable for Cell Selection.
3. Initially the MS looks for a cell which satisfies these 4 constraints ("suitable cell") by checking cells in descending order of received signal strength. If a suitable cell is found, the MS camps on it; 3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.2.1.
4. The MS shall be able to calculate correctly the path loss criterion parameter C1, used for cell selection and reselection; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.4.

20.21.2.4.2 Procedure
|
a) The SS transmits on carriers 1 and 2. After a period of b Tav carrier 2 reduces its transmit level to ‑85 dBm (28 dBV emf( )). After a further period of a Tav, carrier 2 increases its transmit level again to ‑55 dBm (58 dBV emf( )). Switching of carrier 2 continues with these levels and duty cycle until the end of the test.
Tav is the averaging time declared by the manufacturer.
The parameters a and b are chosen according to the following rules:
(a + b) Tav > Tav
0 < a Tav < 2/3 Tav
0,5 Tav < b Tav < Tav
In the equations < and > means at least one TDMA frame less or greater than the given value.
While satisfying the conditions given above:
a is chosen to be as close as possible to 2/3.
b is chosen to be as close as possible to 0,5.
b) The MS is switched on.
c) The SS monitors all RA requests from MS on carriers 1 and 2.

20.21.2.5 Test requirements
|
In step c), the first response from the MS shall be on carrier 2 within 33 s.
NOTE 1: With the selected duty cycle it can be guaranteed that a "good" MS passes the test even at the worst case situations. The minimum averaged value of carrier 2 is in any case higher or equal to ‑75 dBm which is still 6 dB above carrier 1's level (for a "good" MS).
NOTE 2: With the selected levels and duty cycle the probability that a "bad" MS (i.e. MS that averages over shorter period than 3 s) fails the test is maximized. However, it can not be guaranteed that all the MSs not fulfilling the conformance requirement of averaging or uniform sampling will fail this test.

20.21.3.1 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.

20.21.3.2 Conformance requirement
|
1. While camped on a cell of the selected PLMN ("camped normally"), the MS may need to select a different cell ("normal cell reselection" state). The following events trigger a cell reselection:
1.1 (iii) The cell camped on (current serving cell) has become barred.
1.2 (iv) 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).
The MS will then reselect a new cell in order to fulfil the process goal.; 3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 4.5.
NOTE 1: Criterion (i) is tested in subclause 20.21.8 (Cell reselection when C1(serving cell) < 0 for 5 s).
NOTE 2: Criterion (ii) is tested subclause 20.21.16 (Downlink signalling failure).
NOTE 3: Criterion (v) is tested in subclause 20.21.6 (Cell reselection timings).
2. There are various requirements that a cell must satisfy before an MS can perform normal camping on it:
2.1 (ii) It should not be "barred".
2.2 (iv) The radio path loss between MS and BTS must be below a threshold set by the PLMN operator. 3GPP TS 03.22, subclause 3.2.1.
NOTE 4: Criterion (i) is not relevant for cell reselection and for cell selection it is tested in subclause 20.21.1.
NOTE 5: Criterion (iv) refers to the C1 parameter.
3. The MS shall be able to calculate correctly the path loss criterion parameter C2 used for cell reselection; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.4.
4. At least every 5 s the MS shall calculate the value of C1 and C2 for the serving cell and recalculate C1 and C2 values for non serving cells (if necessary). The MS shall then check whether:
i) The path loss criterion (C1) for current serving cell falls below zero for a period of 5 s. This indicates that the path loss to the cell has become too high.
ii) The calculated value of C2 for a non‑serving suitable cell exceeds the value of C2 for the serving cell for a period of 5 s, except in the case of the new cell being in a different location area in which case the C2 value for the new cell shall exceed the C2 value of the serving cell by at least CELL_RESELECT_HYSTERESIS dB as defined by the BCCH data from the current serving cell, for a period of 5 s. This indicates that it is a better cell. 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 6.6.2.

20.21.3.4.2 Procedure
|
a) The SS activates carriers 1, 2, 4 and 5. The MS is not paged on carrier 1. The SS monitors carriers 2, 4 and 5 for RA requests from the MS.
b) The MS is switched on.
c) The SS stops paging on all carriers except carrier 2. The level of carrier 2 is increased to 43 dBVemf (C2 becomes 20 dB), and the SS monitors carrier 2 for RA requests from the MS.
d) When the SS receives a response from the MS on carrier 2, it stops paging the MS on this carrier.
e) The MS is switched off.
f) The SS is reconfigured and sets CBA = 1 on carriers 1 and 5.
g) The MS is switched on.
h) After 33 s, the SS starts paging continuously on carrier 1 and sets CBA=1 on carrier 2 and CBA=0 on carriers 1, 4 and 5.
i) When the SS receives a response on carrier 1, it stops paging the MS and waits for 25 s. (The MS should reselect and camp onto carrier 1).
j) The SS activates carrier 3, pages the MS continuously on this carrier and monitors carrier 3 for RA requests from the MS.
k) The SS increases the level of carrier 3 to 53 dBVemf (C2 increases to 30 dB).

20.21.4.4.2 Procedure
|
For testing of GSM MS, the test procedure is performed for execution counter K = 1.
For testing of DCS 1 800 MS, the test procedure is performed for execution counter K = 1 and 2:
On execution counter K = 1, the POWER_OFFSET Parameter is not present.
On execution counter K = 2, the POWER_OFFSET parameter is present.
a) The SS activates carriers 1 and 2. The MS is not paged on carrier 1. The SS monitors carrier 2 for RA requests from the MS.
b) The MS is switched on.
c) The SS increases the level of carrier 2 to 54 dBVemf (C2 becomes 25 dB).
d) When the SS receives a response on carrier 2, the SS stops paging on that carrier and waits for 20 s (The MS should reselect and camp onto carrier 2).
e) The SS activates carriers 3 and 4 and continuously pages the MS on these carriers. The SS monitors carriers 3 and 4 for RA requests from the MS.

b) The ARFCNs of carriers 1, 2 and 3 are chosen from those in table 20.21.1 with carrier 3 chosen between ARFCN 955 - 974.
NOTE: If the MS supports the ER-GSM Band, the carrier 3 is chosen between ARFCN 940 - 974.
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, 958, 963, 990 and 995. The ARFCN of carrier 2 is not transmitted in the SI2 message.
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) 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.

e) The SS starts paging continuously on carrier 2.
f) The SS increases the transmit level of carrier 2 by 20 dB for a period of 4 s and then reduces the level back to the original value.
g) The SS increases the transmit level of carrier 2 by 20dB and waits for the MS to access on carrier 2. The SS records the time t from the increase in the level of carrier 2 to the first response from the MS.
h) The SS stops paging on carrier 2 and decreases the transmit level of carrier 2 back to the original value.
j) The SS waits 20 s. (The MS should revert to carrier 1 due to cell reselection.)
k) The SS increases the transmit level of carrier 2 by 20 dB. After t+2 s, the SS starts paging continuously on carrier 1 and reduces the level of carrier 2 back to the original level.

1) In step c), the MS shall transmit 2 RA requests on carrier 1 followed by 2 RA requests on carrier 2. Subsequent RA requests on carrier 1 shall not occur within 4,5 s of the second RA request on carrier 1.
2) In step f), there shall be no access on carrier 2 within 34 seconds of increasing the level of carrier 2.
3) After step g), the MS shall respond on carrier 2.
4) In step k), there shall be no response on carrier 1 within 11 s after the level of carrier 2 is reduced back to the original level.
NOTE: The 11 s is derived from (t+15) seconds minimum cell reselection timer minus (t+2) seconds from the start of step k) up to the reduction of the level of carrier 2. A further 2 s are subtracted to cover for any uncertainty introduced by the RA process occurring after step g).
