42.5.5.1.2 Conformance Requirement
After the network has initiated the release of a downlink TBF and the mobile station has received all the RLC blocks, the mobile station shall send the PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message with the Final Ack Indicator bit set to '1', start timer T3192 and continue to monitor all assigned PDCHs. If the network receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message with the Final Ack Indicator bit set to '1' and has new data to transmit for the mobile station, the network may establish a new downlink TBF for the mobile station by sending the PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT or PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message with the Control Ack bit set to '1' on PACCH. If the mobile station, after sending the PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message with the Final Ack Indicator bit set to '1', receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT or PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message with the Control Ack bit set to '1' while timer T3192 is running, the mobile station shall stop timer T3192, consider the previous downlink TBF released and act upon the new assignment. When timer T3192 expires the mobile station shall release the downlink TBF. If the mobile station is operating in half duplex mode and received an uplink assignment during the TBF release procedure, the mobile station shall then immediately act upon the uplink assignment. If there is no ongoing uplink TBF, the mobile station in packet transfer mode shall return to packet idle mode; the mobile station in dual transfer mode shall return to dedicated mode. The DRX mode procedures shall be applied, as specified in subclause 5.5.1.5. References 3GPP TS 04.60, subclauses 8.1.2.4 and 9.3.2.6.

The mobile station may request establishment of an uplink transfer during a downlink TBF by including a Channel Request Description information element in the PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message Initiation is triggered by a request from upper layers to transfer a LLC PDU. The request from upper layers specifies a Radio Priority to be associated with the packet transfer. Upon such a request: - if access to the network is allowed, according to the latest values for authorized special access classes that the mobile station has received (see subclause 7.1.1), the mobile station shall initiate the packet access procedure; - otherwise, the RR sublayer in the mobile station shall reject the request. The mobile station initiates the packet access procedure by sending the Channel Request Description information element in the PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message on the PACCH and starting timer T3168. - If timer T3168 expires, the mobile station shall retransmit the Channel Request Description information element in the next PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message unless it has been transmitted four times in which case the mobile station shall perform an abnormal release with random access. If the downlink TBF is released, including expiry of timer T3192, before expiry of timer T3168 the mobile station shall stop timer T3168 and perform an abnormal release with random access. - Abnormal Release with Random Access: The mobile station shall abort all TBFs in progress and its associated resources, return to the CCCH or PCCCH and initiate establishment of a new uplink TBF as defined in subclause 7.1.

The mobile station shall monitor the downlink PDCHs corresponding to (i.e. with the same timeslot number as) its assigned uplink PDCHs starting with the lowest numbered PDCH, then the next lowest numbered PDCH, etc., up to the one corresponding to the highest numbered assigned uplink PDCH. Whenever the mobile station detects an assigned USF value on an assigned PDCH, the mobile station shall transmit either a single RLC/MAC block or a sequence of four RLC/MAC blocks on the same PDCH and all higher numbered assigned PDCHs. The time relation between an uplink block, which the mobile station shall use for transmission, and the occurrence of the USF value is defined in 3GPP TS 45.002. The number of RLC/MAC blocks to transmit on each PDCH is controlled by the USF_GRANULARITY parameter characterising the uplink TBF. The mobile station shall ignore the USF on those higher numbered PDCHs during the block period where the assigned USF value is detected. References 3GPP TS 44.060, subclauses 8.1.1.2.1

The number of RLC/MAC blocks to transmit on each PDCH is controlled by the USF_GRANULARITY parameter characterising the uplink TBF. The mobile station shall ignore the USF on those higher numbered PDCHs during the block period where the assigned USF value is detected. In addition, if USF_GRANULARITY is set to four blocks allocation, it may ignore the USF on all other PDCHs during the first three block periods in which the mobile station has been granted permission to transmit. As specified in 3GPP TS 45.002, the USF corresponding to the last three blocks of a four blocks allocation shall be set to an unused value for each PDCH on which the mobile station has been granted permission to transmit.

42.9.2.1.3.1 Conformance requirements During the block period where an uplink radio block is allocated on a PDCH via the polling mechanism (see sub-clause 10.4.4), the mobile station shall monitor for the assigned USF on the downlink PDCHs corresponding to its assigned uplink PDCHs starting with the lowest numbered assigned PDCH up to the highest numbered PDCH which is feasible when taking into account the PDCH’s allocated for transmission in the block period and the switching requirements of the mobile station multislot class (see 3GPP TS 45.002) The mobile station shall either transmit the uplink radio block on the same timeslot as the block where the RRBP was received or, if an UPLINK_CONTROL_TIMESLOT is assigned to the mobile station, the mobile station shall transmit the uplink radio block on this UPLINK_CONTROL_TIMESLOT. After receiving an RLC/MAC block containing a valid RRBP field the mobile station need not monitor the USF in the associated downlink RLC/MAC block appearing just before the uplink block it shall transmit. However, when Extended Dynamic Allocation or Shifted USF operation is used, corresponding USF monitoring procedure shall apply as described in sub-clause 8.1.1.2.1 and sub-clause 8.1.1.2.4 respectively.

The mobile station shall attempt to decode every downlink RLC/MAC block on the lowest numbered timeslot in the PDCH allocation. Whenever the mobile station receives a RLC/MAC block containing a RLC/MAC control block, the mobile station shall attempt to interpret the message contained therein. If the message addresses the mobile station, the mobile station shall act on the message. The network shall transmit all PACCH messages on the PDCH carried on the lowest numbered timeslot in the allocation. Additionally for the concurrent TBF case, the network may transmit PACCH messages on any of the common timeslots assigned to the downlink and uplink PDCH allocation. Whenever the mobile station detects an assigned USF value on any assigned PDCH, the mobile station may transmit a PACCH block on the same PDCH in the next block period.

42.9.2.1.4.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions System Simulator: 1 cell, default setting. Mobile Station: The MS is GPRS attached with a P-TMSI allocated and the test PDP context 2 activated. Specific PICS Statements - The GPRS multislot class supported (TSPC_Type_GPRS_Multislot_ClassX, where X = 1..45) PIXIT Statements - Test Procedure The MS is triggered to initiate a packet uplink data transfer in RLC acknowledged mode and with Extended Dynamic Allocation MAC mode. The SS orders the MS to use two-phase access procedure. 1) At this point in time the MS has an uplink GPRS TBF established with Extended Dynamic Allocation MAC mode. It may receive RLC/MAC blocks containing RLC/MAC control blocks for the uplink TBF on the PDCH carried on the lowest numbered timeslot in the allocation. To test that the MS decodes and interprets correctly all RLC/MAC blocks containing RLC/MAC control blocks sent by the network on the lowest numbered timeslot in the PDCH allocation when there is no concurrent downlink TBF the SS process as follow: - The SS sends on the lowest numbered timeslot in the PDCH allocation a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message to establish a concurrent downlink GPRS TBF with the Extended Dynamic Allocation MAC mode. The SS checks that the MS sends in response a PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT message on the lowest numbered timeslot in the PDCH allocation. 2) At this point in time the MS has an uplink TBF and a downlink GPRS TBF established with Extended Dynamic Allocation MAC mode. It may receive RLC/MAC blocks containing RLC/MAC control blocks for the uplink GPRS TBF on the PDCH carried on the lowest numbered timeslot in the uplink PDCH allocation or on any of the common timeslots assigned to the downlink and uplink PDCH allocation. To test, in case there is a concurrent downlink GPRS TBF, that the MS decodes and interprets correctly all RLC/MAC blocks containing RLC/MAC control blocks sent by the network on the PDCH carried on the lowest numbered timeslot in the uplink PDCH allocation or on any of the common timeslots assigned to the downlink and uplink PDCH allocation, the SS process as follow: - The MS is triggered to transfer 64+1 (window size +1) GPRS RLC data blocks without acknowledgement from SS in such a way that the window is stalled. - The SS sends on the PDCH carried on the lowest numbered timeslot in the uplink PDCH allocation a PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK message acknowledging only the oldest GPRS RLC data block. Then the MS is triggered to transfer one GPRS RLC data block. If the MS has correctly decoded the PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK message, the BSN of the GPRS RLC data block shall be the next in sequence expected BSN. - The SS sends on one of the common timeslots assigned to the downlink and uplink PDCH allocation a PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK message acknowledging only the oldest GPRS RLC data block. Then the MS is triggered to transfer one GPRS RLC data block. If the MS has correctly decoded the PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK message, the BSN of the GPRS RLC data block shall be the next in sequence expected BSN. The test is repeated with all PDCHs common for both reception and transmission. 3) To test that the MS does not transmit a GPRS RLC data block in any uplink radio block allocated via the polling mechanism the SS process as follow: - The SS sends on one of the common timeslots assigned to the downlink and uplink PDCH allocation a PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK message containing the TFI value assigned to the uplink TBF and a valid RRBP. On the block period preceding the block period where the polling response to the PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK message should be received, the SS assigns an USF to the MS on the lowest numbered timeslot of the uplink PDCH allocation. The SS checks that during the block period where the polling response should be received, the MS responds to the polling with a PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT message sent on the PDCH where the polling request was sent and sends RLC data blocks on the other PDCHs of the uplink PDCH allocation. The test is repeated with all PDCHs common for both reception and transmission. Then the data transfer is completed. The following table gives the number of timeslots allocated for the uplink and downlink TBFs during the test according to the multislot class (see 45.002 annex B.1): Multislot class Number of PDCHs for the downlink TBF Number of PDCHs for the uplink TBF 3 1 2 5 2 2 6 2 2 7 2 2 9 3 2 10 3 2 11 3 2 12 3 2 13 3 3 14 4 4 15 5 5 16 6 6 17 7 7 18 8 8 19 6 2 20 6 3 21 6 4 22 6 4 23 6 6 24 8 2 25 8 3 26 8 4 27 8 4 28 8 6 29 8 8 31 4 2 32 3 3 33 3 3 34 3 3 36 4 2 37 3 3 38 3 3 39 3 3 41 5 2 42 4 3 43 4 3 44 4 3 45 4 3 NOTE: The multislot class of the MS under test may impose that the highest PDCH of the uplink allocation is not a member of the downlink allocation.

When the mobile station receives an uplink assignment (e.g. PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT, MULTIPLE TBF UPLINK ASSIGNMENT, PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE or MULTIPLE TBF TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE) that does not contain a TBF starting time, the mobile station shall begin monitoring the assigned PDCHs for the assigned USF value for each assigned PDCH within the reaction time defined in 3GPP TS 45.010. If a TBF starting time information element is present and no uplink TBFs are in progress, but one or more downlink TBFs are in progress, the mobile station shall wait until the starting time before beginning to monitor the USFs and using the newly assigned uplink TBF parameters. While waiting for the starting time, the mobile station shall monitor the assigned PDCHs. If a TBF starting time information element is present and one or more uplink TBFs are already in progress, the mobile station shall continue to use the assigned parameters of the ongoing uplink TBFs until the TDMA frame number indicated by the TBF starting time occurs, at which time the mobile station shall immediately begin to use the newly assigned uplink TBF parameters.

Received on the assigned PDTCH3 on the same TDMA frame as step 11 13 MS -> SS UPLINK RLC DATA BLOCK This step is optional; it is performed only if 3 timeslots at least have been assigned in step 1. Received on the assigned PDTCH4 on the same TDMA frame as step 11. 14 SS -> MS PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT SS reconfigures the TBF. Assignment assigns a starting time of 104 frames. Number of slots is increased by one from the earlier allocation given in step 1. The slot is assigned at the lower end, i.e. TN1 is assigned with USF1 associated with it. 15 SS -> MS PACKET DOWNLINK DUMMY CONTROL BLOCK Assigned USF1 on PACCH1 addressing the MS. Send on three blocks before the starting time given in step 14. 16 SS -> MS PACKET DOWNLINK DUMMY CONTROL BLOCK Assigned USF2 on PACCH2 addressing the MS.
