Test procedure
MS is in packet idle mode, SS sends a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message to change NC reporting parameters. The MS sends measurement reports according to the new NC parameters. The MS is then paged on its paging channel. Upon receipt of the PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 message, the MS initiate the establishment of CS connection. The call lasts for 1 minute, thus the Ready Timer expires during the dedicated connection. At the end of the call, no more measurement should be sent by the MS.

Test procedure
MS is in packet idle mode, on a NC2 Cell, and receive a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER to override the NC parameters broadcasted in SI2 quater. The MS sends PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT based on T3158 calculation done on the NC parameters of the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER. The MS is then paged on its paging channel. Upon receipt of the PACKET PAGING REQUEST message, the MS initiate the establishment of CS connection. SS stops the call after 5 seconds in order to avoid T3158 expiry during the dedicated connection (for R97 MS).
R97 MS should either continue to send PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT every T3158, calculated with the NC parameters sent in the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER, or , like R99 and later release MS, restart the NC measurement reporting but with T3158 based on the broadcasted parameters sent in the PACKET SYSTEM INFORMATION 5.

The behaviour of the mobile station is controlled by the parameter NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER broadcast in the PSI5 message on PBCCH, in the SI13 message on the BCCH and in the PSI13 message on PACCH. Alternatively, the network may send the NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER parameters in a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER or in a PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message on PCCCH or PACCH to a particular mobile station. The parameter NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER may have one of the values NC0, NC1, NC2 or RESET, see 3GPP TS 05.08.
When in mode NC1 or NC2, the mobile station shall perform the NC measurements as defined in 3GPP TS 05.08. The reporting periods are indicated in the NC_REPORTING_PARAMETER_I and NC_REPORTING_PARAMETER_T field of the PSI5, the PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER or the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message. If no PBCCH is allocated in the cell or if no individual order has been received by the mobile station, the default values of the parameters NC_NON_DRX_PERIOD, NC_REPORTING_PARAMETER_I and NC_REPORTING_PARAMETER_T shall be used. The mobile station shall apply to the timer T3158 either the NC_REPORTING_PARAMETER_I when in packet idle mode or the NC_REPORTING_PARAMETER_T when in packet transfer mode. The measurement results shall be sent to the network using the procedures specified in subclause 7.3 for packet idle mode, and in subclause 8.3 for packet transfer mode.
A mobile station may reselect a new cell or may be ordered to reselect a new cell with mode NC1 or NC2 while timer T3158 is active. If time to expiry of timer T3158 is greater than the indicated reporting period for the new cell, the mobile station shall immediately restart timer T3158 with the indicated reporting period for the new cell. Otherwise, the timer T3158 shall continue to run.
A set of measurement reporting parameters (NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER and NC_REPORTING_PERIOD(s)) is broadcast on PBCCH. The parameters may also be sent individually to an MS on PCCCH or PACCH, in which case it overrides the broadcast parameters. The individual parameters are valid until the RESET command is sent to the MS or there is a downlink signalling failure or the MS goes to the Standby state.

Test procedure
MS is in packet idle mode, on a NC2 cell A, and sends PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT based on T3158 calculation done on the broadcasted parameters. The MS is then paged on its paging channel. Upon receipt of the PAGING REQUEST message, the MS initiate the establishment of CS connection. During the call, SS triggers the MS to do a handover to cell B. SS stops the call after 15 second in order to avoid T3158 expiry during the dedicated connection (for R97 MS).
As cell B has a NETWORK CONTROL ORDER set to NC2, all MS shall then restart measurement reporting by sending PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT every T3158. The reporting timer is calculated with the NC parameters broadcasted in the second cell on SI2 quater.

- MS is in packet idle mode
Test procedure
MS is in packet idle mode, on a NC0 Cell, and receive a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER changing the Network Control Order to NC2. The MS sends PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT based on T3158 calculation done on the NC parameters of the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER, including measurement done on its neighbour, cell B. 15 seconds after the second PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER the MS is paged on its paging channel. Upon receipt of the PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 message, the MS initiate the establishment of CS connection. After 30 seconds the cell B transmission is cut and the call lasts for 55 seconds more.
Some R97 or R98 MS and the R99 and later release MS should then be back on CCCH parameters and not trigger any PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT anymore.
Other R97 or R98 MS should continue to send PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT every T3158, calculated with the NC parameters sent in the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER. As the T3158 timer has expired 3 times during the dedicated connection (once before Cell B has been cut, twice after), and that the MS shall send only its latest PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT, the first one sent after the dedicated call should not contain any Cell B measurement.

The behaviour of the mobile station is controlled by the parameter NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER broadcast in the PSI5 message on PBCCH, in the SI13 message on the BCCH and in the PSI13 message on PACCH. Alternatively, the network may send the NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER parameters in a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER or in a PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message on PCCCH or PACCH to a particular mobile station. The parameter NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER may have one of the values NC0, NC1, NC2 or RESET, see 3GPP TS 05.08.
When in mode NC1 or NC2, the mobile station shall perform the NC measurements as defined in 3GPP TS 05.08. The reporting periods are indicated in the NC_REPORTING_PARAMETER_I and NC_REPORTING_PARAMETER_T field of the PSI5, the PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER or the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message. If no PBCCH is allocated in the cell or if no individual order has been received by the mobile station, the default values of the parameters NC_NON_DRX_PERIOD, NC_REPORTING_PARAMETER_I and NC_REPORTING_PARAMETER_T shall be used. The mobile station shall apply to the timer T3158 either the NC_REPORTING_PARAMETER_I when in packet idle mode or the NC_REPORTING_PARAMETER_T when in packet transfer mode. The measurement results shall be sent to the network using the procedures specified in subclause 7.3 for packet idle mode, and in subclause 8.3 for packet transfer mode.
A set of measurement reporting parameters (NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER and NC_REPORTING_PERIOD(s)) is broadcast on PBCCH. The parameters may also be sent individually to an MS on PCCCH or PACCH, in which case it overrides the broadcast parameters. The individual parameters are valid until the RESET command is sent to the MS or there is a downlink signalling failure or the MS goes to the Standby state.
After each reporting period, the MS shall send a measurement report to BSS (see 3GPP TS 04.60). The MS shall then discard any previous measurement report, which it has not been able to send.

42.4.8.3.5.2 Test Purpose
|
To verify that some R97 MS involved in NC measurement reporting, and making a handover during a dedicated connection do not send any buffered PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT when many reporting periods had expired during a CS call on the first cell. They shall restart their measurement reporting on the new serving cell only if the broadcasted parameters allow it.
For other R97 MS and for R99 or later MS, the NC measurement reporting is stopped when entering a dedicated connection. At the end of the CS call, after a handover, it shall restart its measurement reporting on the new serving cell only if the broadcasted parameters allow it.

System Simulator:
1 cell (Cell A), GPRS supported, NC2, Ready Timer set to 5 minutes
1 cell (Cell B), GPRS supported, NC0, Ready Timer set to 5 minutes
Mobile Station:
The MS is in packet idle mode, with a TMSI, P-TMSI allocated

- Release of GPRS Supported (TSPC_MS_GPRS_RELEASE)
- Support of Immediate Connect (TSPC_AddInfo_ImmConn)
PIXIT Statements

Foreseen final state of the MS
- MS is in packet idle mode
Test procedure
MS is in packet idle mode, on a NC2 Cell, and receive a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER. The MS then sends PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT based on T3158 calculation done with the NC parameters in the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER. The MS is then paged on its paging channel. Upon receipt of the PAGING REQUEST message, the MS initiate the establishment of CS connection. During the call, after 30 seconds in order to have T3158 expiry during the dedicated connection (for some R97 MS), SS triggers the MS to do a handover to the second cell. SS stops the call after 30 seconds on the new serving cell, cell B.
As cell B has a NETWORK CONTROL ORDER set to NC0, no MS should send any measurement reporting, even if some PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT were not sent when the MS was camped on cell A (before the handover during the dedicated connection)
After 1 minute, a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER is then sent to the MS camped on cell B. The SS verifies that the PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT sent by the MS is including cell A measurements and is not a previous PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT not sent in cell A.

When in mode NC1 or NC2, the mobile station shall perform the NC measurements as defined in 3GPP TS 05.08. The reporting periods are indicated in the NC_REPORTING_PERIOD_I and NC_REPORTING_PERIOD_T field of the PSI5, the SI2quater, the PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER or the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message. If NC_NON_DRX_PERIOD, NC_REPORTING_PERIOD_I or NC_REPORTING_PERIOD_T have not been received by the mobile station the default values shall be used.
The measurement results shall be sent to the network using the procedures specified in sub-clause 7.3 for packet idle mode, and in sub-clause 8.3 for packet transfer mode.
On expiry of timer T3158, the mobile station shall restart timer T3158 with the indicated reporting period, perform the measurements and send either the PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT message or the PACKET ENHANCED MEASUREMENT REPORT to the network
On receipt of an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT message corresponding to one of its 3 last CHANNEL REQUEST messages, the mobile station, stops sending CHANNEL REQUEST messages, starts timer T3122 with the indicated value, ("wait indication" information element), starts T3126 if it has not already been started, and listens to the downlink CCCH until T3126 expires.
The Wait Indication IE (i.e. T3122) relates to the cell from which it was received.
The mobile station in packet idle mode (only applicable to mobile station supporting GPRS) may initiate packet access in the same cell before T3122 has expired, see 3GPP TS 04.60 and sub-clause 3.5.2.1.3.4.
After T3122 expiry, no CHANNEL REQUEST message shall be sent as a response to a page until a PAGING REQUEST message for the mobile station is received.

The MS sends PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT based on T3158 calculation done on the NC parameters of the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER. The MS is then paged on its paging channel. Upon receipt of the PAGING REQUEST message, the MS sends a CHANNEL REQUEST but the SS denies the dedicated connection by sending an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT with a wait indication (T3122) of 20 seconds.
The MS does not enter any dedicated connection and should so continue its NC reporting measurement, even if T3122 is not expired at T3158 expiry.

The GSM Neighbour Cell list may be modified by "NC Frequency List" in a PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message (in which case the reference list is given on the new cell) or one or more instances of the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message with the same BA_IND value or PSI3_CHANGE_MARK value.
The "NC Frequency List" may add cells to the GSM Neighbour Cell list (see sub-clause 11.2.4 and 11.2.9b, "PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER" and "PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER"). These cells shall be added at the end of the GSM Neighbour Cell list and indexed in the order of occurrence within the PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message or ascending instances of the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message. The list of added cells may contain GPRS cell re-selection parameters.
The "NC Frequency List" may delete frequencies from the BA(GPRS) list (see 11.2.9b). The frequencies to be removed are identified by their indices in the BA(GPRS). In this case all cells associated with the removed frequencies shall be removed from the GSM Neighbour Cell list. Removed cells/frequencies shall keep their indices but no measurements or reporting shall be performed. If the index points to a cell that does not exist, this shall not be considered as an error.
When ordered to send measurement reports, the MS shall continuously monitor all carriers in BA(GPRS) or as indicated by the parameter NC_FREQUENCY_LIST and the BCCH carrier of the serving cell. The measurement requirements are defined in subclause 10.1.1 for the actual packet mode.

Test procedure
SS sends a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER to MS, changing the NC mode to NC2. SS receives few measurement reports. SS checks that the measurements of cell B are included in the measurement report while that of the Cell C are not included in it. SS transmits a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER including NC_FREQUENCY_LIST, adding Cell C while removing cell B. SS receives few measurement reports and checks that MS now includes cell C in the PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT, while the measurements of the cell B are not included in it. SS reduces the signal strength of cell A to –85dBm. The signal strengths of cells B and C are increased to –50dBm and –60dBm respectively, making cell B better than cell C for cell reselection. SS changes the NC mode to NC0 by sending a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER. SS checks that the MS has done the reselection to cell C even though the cell B was better as the cell B is not a part of the measurement list.

The “NC Frequency List” may add cells to the GSM Neighbour Cell list (see sub-clause 11.2.4 and 11.2.9b, “PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER” and “PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER”). These cells shall be added at the end of the GSM Neighbour Cell list and indexed in the order of occurrence within the PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message or ascending instances of the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message. The list of added cells may contain GPRS cell re-selection parameters.
In case the same cell (ARFCN+BSIC) or the same ARFCN without BSIC occur more than once in the resulting GSM Neighbour Cell list, each occurrence shall be assigned an index but only the cell with the highest index shall be used for cell re-selection and referred to in measurement reports.
The “NC Frequency List” may delete frequencies from the BA(GPRS) list (see 11.2.9b). The frequencies to be removed are identified by their indices in the BA(GPRS). In this case all cells associated with the removed frequencies shall be removed from the GSM Neighbour Cell list. Removed cells/frequencies shall keep their indices but no measurements or reporting shall be performed. If the index points to a cell that does not exist, this shall not be considered as an error.
A parameter NC_FREQUENCY_LIST may also be sent individually to an MS on PCCCH or PACCH. This list adds/deletes frequencies to the BA(GPRS) both for cell re-selection and for measurement reports. For added frequencies, the corresponding cell re-selection parameters may be included. If no cell re-selection parameters are given for a particular cell, that cell shall only be used in mode NC2. The list is valid until an empty list is sent to the MS.

The procedure for measurement report sending shall be initiated by the mobile station at expiry of either the NC measurement report interval timer T3158 or the EM measurement report interval timer T3178. At expiry of the timer T3158 or T3178 the mobile station shall restart the expired timer T3158 or T3178, perform the measurements and initiate the packet access.
The procedure for measurement report sending is initiated by the mobile station either on PCCCH (subclause 7.3.1) or, if a packet control channel not exists, on CCCH (subclause 7.3.2).
If the mobile station initiates an RR connection establishment, the timers T3158 and T3178 shall be stopped and no measurement reports shall be sent. When the RR connection is released and if the mobile station has not changed cell, the measurement reporting procedure shall be restarted.
In a cell with a PBCCH allocated, if PSI3_CHANGE_MARK is changed, the mobile station shall re-read and rebuild the GSM Neighbour Cell list.

Test Procedure
SS sends a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message (including the NC_FREQUENCY_LIST) changing the NC mode to NC2, deleting the cell B, while adding the cell C to the measurement list. SS checks that the measurements of the cell C are included in the third Packet measurement report while that of Cell B are not included. The SS pages MS for a CS call. SS establishes a call with MS. After 5 seconds releases the call. SS reduces the signal strength of the cell A, in such a way that the cell B and C are better than cell A. Cell C is better than cell B. SS checks that the MS does the reselection to cell B, even though cell C is better. This way we will check that the MS returns to broadcast parameters after a dedicated connection.

The "NC Frequency List" may add cells to the GSM Neighbour Cell list . These cells shall be added at the end of the GSM Neighbour Cell list and indexed in the order of occurrence within the PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message or ascending instances of the PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message. The list of added cells may contain GPRS cell re-selection parameters.
In case the same cell (ARFCN+BSIC) or the same ARFCN without BSIC occur more than once in the resulting GSM Neighbour Cell list, each occurrence shall be assigned an index but only the cell with the highest index shall be used for cell re-selection and referred to in measurement reports.

Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
2 cells with default parameter: A, B with same LAI, both supporting GPRS DTM
Mobile Station:
The MS is in the active state (U10) of a call on Timeslot N (chosen arbitrarily) of cell A and has the PDP context 1 activated.
Specific PICS Statements
-
PIXIT Statements
-
Test Procedure
The MS, whilst in dedicated mode, is triggered to initiate packet uplink transfer data in RLC unacknowledged mode and sends a DTM REQUEST message. On receiving the DTM REQUEST message, requesting uplink resources, the SS assigns the MS PS resource. The SS accomplishes the resource assignment by passing a PACKET ASSIGNMENT message to the MS. On receiving the PACKET ASSIGNMENT message, the MS starts to send RLC DATA BLOCKS to the SS on the assigned PDTCH. Right after the beginning a PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK is send from the SS to reset T3182 on MS side. Then the SS sends a PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER to the MS containing BSIC and the BCCH frequency of cell B. The SS maintains the CS call and checks that no CHANNEL REQUESTS on cell B received. Then the transmission is completed.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes

The test sequence is repeated for k = 1,2.

Whenever the mobile station receives an RLC data block addressed to itself and with a valid RRBP field in the RLC data block header (i.e., is polled), the mobile station shall transmit a Packet Downlink ACK/NACK message in the uplink radio block specified by the RRBP field whatever the BSN value of the received RLC data block, unless another RLC/MAC control message is waiting to be transmitted, in which case the other RLC/MAC control message shall be sent.
The RRBP value specifies a single uplink block in which the mobile station shall transmit either a PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT message or a PACCH block to the network. If the RRBP field is received as part of an RLC/MAC block containing an RLC/MAC control block containing any message except Packet Paging Request, Packet Access Reject, and Packet Queuing Notification, the mobile station shall transmit a PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT message in the uplink radio block specified. If the RRBP field is received as part of an RLC/MAC block containing an RLC/MAC control block containing a Packet Paging Request, Packet Access Reject, or Packet Queuing Notification message, the mobile station shall ignore this RRBP field. The mobile station shall only react on RLC/MAC control blocks containing a valid RRBP field if the mobile station is unambiguously addressed either in the downlink RLC/MAC control block header or in the control message itself.

42.5.3.1.2 Conformance Requirement
|
When receiving the PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message and after waiting the TBF Starting Time when applicable, the mobile station starts timer T3190. The timer is reset when receiving the first valid RLC/MAC block.
On expiry of timer T3190, the mobile station shall abort the procedure and return to packet idle mode.
If the mobile station receives a valid RLC data block addressed to itself, the mobile station shall reset and restart timer T3190. If timer T3190 expires, the mobile station shall perform an abnormal release with return to CCCH or PCCCH (see subclause 8.7.1).

Test Procedure
1. MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, containing relative-encoded starting time.
2. (0.8*T3190) seconds after the starting time occurs, the SS transmits a downlink RLC data block with polling indicated.
3. MS sends PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK on PACCH in response to the RLC data block.
4. (1.2*T3190) seconds after the previous downlink RLC data block, the SS transmits another downlink RLC data block with polling indicated.
5. The MS ignores the downlink block (because it has already returned to packet idle mode upon expiry of T3190).
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes.
