26.14.3.3.2 Test purpose
To verify that: 1. When the MS is ordered to make a non-synchronised handover it continuously sends access bursts on the main DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) until it receives a PHYSICAL INFORMATION message from the SS. 2. The MS correctly handles the values of any Starting Time IE in the HANDOVER COMMAND message in the case when none of the information elements referring to before the starting time are present. 3. The MS correctly handles the Timing Advance IE in the PHYSICAL INFORMATION message. 4. The MS activates the new channel correctly and transmits the HANDOVER COMPLETE message without undue delay.

Specific PICS statements: - PIXIT Statements: - Way to configure VGCS or VBS. - Way to request uplink. - Way to initiate VBS call. Foreseen Final State of the MS idle mode on cell B. Test Procedure This procedure is repeated for execution counter M = 1 to 3. The MS is in group transmit mode. The SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND. The MS (at the time defined by the Starting Time information element, if included in the message) begins to send access bursts on the new DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) of the target cell. The SS observes the access bursts and after receiving n (n being arbitrarily chosen between 10 - 20) access bursts, the SS sends one PHYSICAL INFORMATION message with an arbitrary Timing Advance. It is checked that the MS activates the new channel in sending and receiving mode, and it is checked that the MS is ready to transmit a HANDOVER COMPLETE message, before "x" MS after the end of the PHYSICAL INFORMATION message, but not before a UA frame has been sent by the SS. The term "ready to transmit" is defined in 3GPP TS 04.13. The value of "x" depends upon the target channel and is specified in the specific message contents clause. Maximum Duration of Test 5 minutes, including 1 minute for any necessary operator actions. Expected Sequence This sequence is performed for execution counter M = 1, 2, 3. Step Direction Message Comments 0 MS The MS is in group transmit mode. 1 SS -> MS HANDOVER COMMAND See Specific message contents. 2 MS -> SS HANDOVER ACCESS Repeated on every burst of the uplink main DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) until reception of PHYSICAL INFORMATION. Handover Reference as included in the HANDOVER COMMAND. If the HANDOVER COMMAND includes a starting time IE then the first HANDOVER ACCESS message shall be transmitted in the indicated frame (unless the indicated frame is not used by that channel, in which case the next frame used by that channel shall be used). 3 SS -> MS PHYSICAL INFORMATION Sent after reception of n HANDOVER ACCESS messages. See specific message contents. 4 MS -> SS SABM Sent without information field. 5 SS -> MS UA 6 MS -> SS HANDOVER COMPLETE The message shall be ready to be transmitted before "x" ms after the completion of step 3.

26.14.3.4 VGCS-VBS / RR Procedures / handover / successful at group call establishment
This clause deals with signalling in the Handover/successful/group call establishment/non synchronised case. This subclause is aligned with subclause 26.6.5.2 (M = 1 and M = 8). Table 26.14.3.4.1 contains a summary of the different combinations of parameters which have to be tested. If a test uses a channel rate which the MS under test does not support, the test shall be skipped. Table 26.14.3.4.1 From To Timing Adv.

26.14.3.4.1 Conformance requirements
In dedicated mode or group transmit mode, an intercell or intracell change of channel(s) can be requested by the network RR sublayer. This changed may be performed through the handover procedure. The purpose of the handover procedure is to completely modify the channels allocated to the mobile station e.g. when the cell is changed. A change in the channel configuration nature is possible. This procedure is used only while in dedicated mode or group transmit mode. References 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018, subclauses 3.4.4 and 9.1.15. 3GPP TS 04.13, subclause 5.2.6.2.

26.14.3.4.2 Test purpose
To verify that: 1. The MS correctly applies the handover procedure from non frequency hopping SDCCH/4 to TCH/F with frequency hopping in the non-synchronized case during group or broadcast call establishment. 2. The mobile correctly applies the handover procedures from SDCCH/8with frequency hopping to TCH/F without frequency hopping in the non-synchronized case during group or broadcast call establishment. 3. If during call establishment a Layer 3 MM or CC message just sent by the MS is not Layer 2 acknowledged before the channel change caused by the HANDOVER COMMAND message, the MS sends the Layer 3 message to the new cell, using the same value in the N(SD) field, after the handover procedure.

Test Procedure This procedure is repeated for execution counter M = 1 and 2 (see table 26.14.3.4.1). A VBS call is initiated on cell A by setup procedure if the MS supports VBS only, otherwise a VGCS call is initiated by setup procedure on cell A. After the MS has sent the SETUP message (and before the last L2 frame carrying the SETUP message is acknowledged by the SS) the SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND message, ordering the MS to switch to cell B. The MS shall then begin to send access bursts on the new DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH) to cell B. The SS observes the access bursts and after receiving n (n being arbitrarily chosen between values according to table 26.14.3.4.2) access bursts, the SS sends one PHYSICAL INFORMATION message with a Timing Advance as specified in table 26.14.3.4.1. It is checked that the MS activates the new channel and the MS is ready to transmit a HANDOVER COMPLETE message before x ms after the end of the PHYSICAL INFORMATION message, but not before a UA frame has been sent by the SS. It is also checked that the MS sends again the SETUP message with the same value in the N(SD) field. The term 'ready to transmit' is defined in 3GPP TS 04.13. The value of 'x' depends upon the target channel and is specified in the specific message contents clause. Maximum Duration of Test 5 minutes, including 1 minute for any necessary operator actions.

26.14.3.5.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions System Simulator: 2 cells with same LAI, default parameters. Mobile Station: The MS is in group transmit mode on cell A. Specific PICS statements: - PIXIT Statements: - Way to configure VGCS or VBS. - Way to request uplink. - Way to initiate VBS call. Foreseen Final State of the MS "Idle, updated", with TMSI allocated. Test Procedure The MS is brought to group transmit mode, then the SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND message with Power Command set to 8. The MS begins to send access bursts at the commanded power level on the new DCCH (and optionally on the SACCH). The SS activates the SACCH, but does not send PHYSICAL INFORMATION (thus causing a time-out of T3124). It is checked that the MS re-establishes the old link and sends a HANDOVER FAILURE within 3 s from the transmission of HANDOVER COMMAND, using the old power level. Maximum Duration of Test 5 minutes, including 1 minute for any necessary operator actions. Expected Sequence Step Direction Message Comments 1 MS the MS is in group transmit mode 2 SS -> MS HANDOVER COMMAND Channel description: non-hopping, full rate Power Command: 8. Synchronisation Indication: non synchronised. 3 MS -> SS HANDOVER ACCESS Several messages are sent, all with correct Handover References. 4 MS -> SS HANDOVER FAILURE Sent on old channel, RR cause value = "Abnormal release, unspecified", "Abnormal release, channel unacceptable", "Abnormal release, timer expired", "Abnormal release, no activity on the radio path" or "Protocol error unspecified". Shall be sent within 3 s from the transmission of HANDOVER COMMAND. 5 SS -> MS CHANNEL RELEASE The MS releases L2 multiple frame link L2:DISC/UA.

After three failed attempts a rejection of the uplink request is indicated. 4. The MS stops sending UPLINK ACCESS message and remains in group receive mode and indicates a rejection of the uplink request when receiving a UPLINK BUSY or a VGCS UPLINK GRANT message aimed to another mobile station (i.e., not corresponding to one of its UPLINK ACCESS messages). 5. On receipt of an VGCS UPLINK GRANT message corresponding to one of its UPLINK ACCESS messages, the MS stops T3130, stops sending UPLINK ACCESS messages, and establishes the main signalling link with an SABM containing the TALKER INDICATION message in the information field. Controlled early classmark sending is performed. If a UA is received containing the message sent, the MS enters group transmit mode and indicates the successful uplink seizure. 6. If an uplink identity code (UIC) of the current cell has been provided by the network in the UPLINK FREE message, the mobile station shall use this UIC IE for the coding of the UPLINK ACCESS messages . If no UIC is provided, the mobile station shall use the BSIC received from the current cell, for instance from the initial synchronisation.

Test Procedure If the MS supports VGCS/VBS originating, the test starts from step 1, otherwise if the MS supports VGCS talking the test starts from step 30. If the MS supports VBS originating but no VGCS originating nor VGCS talking, the test stops on step 24. The MS is requested to initiate a VGCS/VBS call with setup procedure. After the MS sends SETUP message, the SS sends incorrect CONNECT messages which contains incorrect TI flag or incorrect TI value or TI value set to '111'B. It is checked that the MS ignores these messages and responds with STATUS messages containing cause #81. The SS sends a message which is too short to contain a complete message. It is checked that the MS ignores this short message. Finally the SS sends a undefined message, a message not compatible with current protocol state and a message semantically incorrect. It is checked that the MS ignores these messages and returns STATUS messages containing cause #97, #98, #95 respectively. The following steps is applicable to the MS supporting VGCS talking. The MS is brought into group transmit mode. The SS sends GET STATUS message with TI='1001'B, the MS responds with STATUS message containing state U2sr, then the SS sends GET STATUS messages containing TI= '1111'B or '1010'B.

26.14.7.2.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions System Simulator: 1 cell with default parameters for ASCI testing. Mobile Station: The MS is in MM-state "idle, updated" with a TMSI allocated. Specific PICS statements: - Support VGCS originating (TSPC_AddInfo_VGCS_Originating) - Support VGCS talking (TSPC_AddInfo_VGCS_Talking) - Support VGCS listening (TSPC_AddInfo_VGCS_Listening) - Support VBS originating (TSPC_AddInfo_VBS_Originating) - Support VBS listening (TSPC_AddInfo_VBS_Listening) PIXIT Statements: - Foreseen Final State of the MS MM-state "Idle, updated". Test Procedure The MS is in idle updated mode. The SS sends NOTIFICATION/NCH messages with incorrect mandatory IE (skip='0001'B) or with comprehension required IE. It is checked that the MS ignores these NOTIFICATION/NCH messages. The SS sends NOTIFICATION/NCH containing unknown IE not encoded as comprehension required in non-imperative part. It is checked that the MS ignores the unknown IE and accepts the NOTIFICATION/NCH message. If the MS supports VGCS/VBS listening only, the test stops here. If the MS supports VGCS talking the test continues on step 7. The MS joins the call. The SS sends correct UPLINK BUSY message then sends UPLINK FREE message containing incorrect mandatory IE. It is checked that the UPLINK FREE message is ignored by the MS. The SS sends correct UPLINK FREE message and the MS is requested to access the uplink. During the uplink access procedure it is checked that the MS ignores the VGCS UPLINK GRANT message in which mandatory IE is missing. After the MS enters group transmit mode, it is brought back to idle updated mode. The test stops here if the MS supports VGCS talking but not VGCS originating. If the MS supports VGCS/VBS originating the test proceeds on step 30. The MS is requested to originate a VGCS call. During the call establishment it is checked that the MS ignores the CONNECT messages that missing mandatory IE or containing unknown IE encoded as comprehension required, and that the MS ignores unknown IE which is in non-imperative part and is not encoded as comprehension required, it is also checked that the MS ignores subsequent repetition of the information element for which repetition is not specified. Maximum Duration of Test 5 minutes. Expected Sequence The test steps 7 to 29 are performed if the MS supports VGCS talking. The test steps 30 to 56 are performed if the MS supports VGCS/VBS originating.

1. After a cell change the MS shall leave group receive mode and go to idle mode in order to establish a dedicated connection with the network to perform a location update if the cell belongs to a new LA. 2. If NCH is present on the new cell but the MS does not receive any notification message for the current group or broadcast call the MS shall leave group receive mode and go to idle mode. 3. If the MS receives a notification message for the current group or broadcast call with the related channel position and if the channel is found, the MS shall change to it and stay in group receive mode. 4. If the MS receives a notification message for the current group or broadcast call without information on the related channel position, the MS shall leave group receive mode, go to idle mode and in order to establish a dedicated connection with the network to become informed on the related channel position. 5. If a CHANNEL RELEASE is send to a mobile station which is in dedicated mode and which is involved in a voice group call or voice broadcast call, a group channel description may be included, describing the voice group call channel or voice broadcast channel to which the mobile station shall go after the channel release procedure.

26.14.9.2.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions System Simulator: 2 cells with different LA within a same PLMN: cell A and cell B, with default parameters. Mobile Station: The MS is in MM-state "idle, updated" with a TMSI allocated on cell A. No automatic answering is configured. Specific PICS statements: - PIXIT Statements: - Way to configure VGCS or VBS. - Way to verify the downlink speech path. Foreseen Final State of the MS "Idle, updated". Test Procedure The following test procedure is repeated for k = 1, 2, 3. The MS is brought into group receive mode on cell A. Start cell B with NCH but NOTIFICATON/NCH containing irrelevant group call references (k=1), or with NOTIFICATON/NCH containing the relevant group call reference but no VGCS/VBS channel description (k=2), or with NOTIFICATON/NCH containing the relevant group call reference and VGCS/VBS channel description (k=3). Lower the transmission levels of cell A so that C1 of cell A becomes less than zero. The MS re-selects to the cell B. It is checked that the MS does location update on cell B. If it is succeeded the MS either remains in the idle mode (for k=1), or enters to group receive mode on cell B (for k=2, 3) without manual intervention. Increase the power level of cell A to the default value and decrease the power level of cell B so that the MS re-selects the cell A. The MS attempts a location updating. The SS rejects it with cause #17 (network failure) to force the MS re-initiate location updating. The SS checks that the TCH in downlink is not connected before a location updated. The MS initiates again a new attempt for location updating, the SS accepts it, then the MS initiates a new group call and enters the group transmit mode, SS sends an UPLINK RELEASE message to bring MS to group receive mode. Then SS assigns a new group channel for it in the CHANNEL RELEASE message. It is checked that the MS enters group receive mode and the new TCH assigned in downlink is through connected. Maximum Duration of Test 10 minutes. Expected Sequence Repeat the test sequence for test counter k= 1, 2, 3. Step Direction Message Comments 0 MS the MS is brought into group receive mode on cell A.

The request of the calling subscriber to set up a voice group call may specify information to be sent as user‑to‑dispatcher information to the network; in this case the user-to-dispatcher information is included in the signalling for call setup from the mobile station to the network. It is the responsibility of the input function to ensure that the user-to-dispatcher information has a correct format (in particular, an allowed length). The initial signalling from the originating service subscriber informs the network that a voice group call is required and details the group ID; it may specify user-to-dispatcher information. The User-to-dispatcher information element is included in the SETUP message. References 3GPP TS 03.69 subclauses 4.2.1.1 and 11.3.1.1.1. 3GPP TS 04.69 subclause 8.5.
