43.4.1.1.1 Conformance requirements
|
For EC-GSM-IoT, i.e. for an EC TBF, the window size (WS) shall be 16.
…
Each RLC endpoint transmitter shall have an associated acknowledge state array (V(B)). V(B) is an array of SNS elements indicating the acknowledgement status of WS previous RLC data blocks. The array is indexed relative to the acknowledge state variable V(A) modulo SNS. The values of V(B) shall be updated from the values received from its peer in the received block bitmap (RBB) of the Packet Ack/Nack message (see sub-clause 9.1.8.3).
The transmitter shall transmit the oldest RLC data block whose corresponding element in V(B) indexed relative to V(A) has the value NACKED. As each RLC data block is transmitted the corresponding element in V(B) is set to the value PENDING_ACK. If the RLC data block to be transmitted is split over two radio blocks, both radio blocks shall be transmitted.
If [ V(S) < V(A) + WS ] modulo SNS and no RLC data blocks have a corresponding element in V(B) with the value NACKED, the RLC data block with BSN = V(S) shall be transmitted and the corresponding element in V(B) shall be set to the value PENDING_ACK. If the transmitter is the mobile station that, for a fixed uplink allocation it has received, has no further RLC data blocks available for transmission (i.e. the RLC data block with BSN= V(S) does not exist), the mobile station shall retransmit the oldest RLC data block whose corresponding element in V(B) has the value PENDING_ACK, then the next oldest block whose corresponding element in V(B) has the value PENDING_ACK, etc.
If [V(S) = V(A) + WS] modulo SNS (i.e. the transmit window is stalled), the sending side shall transmit the oldest RLC data block whose corresponding element in V(B) has the value PENDING_ACK, then the next oldest RLC data block whose corresponding element in V(B) has the value PENDING_ACK, etc.
If the transmitter is on the network side the process of pre-emptive retransmission, i.e. retransmitting the oldest RLC data blocks whose value in V(B) has the value PENDING_ACK, is optional.
When an element in V(B) falls outside of the active transmit window, i.e. [ V(A) £ BSN < V(S) ] modulo SNS, the element shall be set to the value INVALID.

44.1 Default conditions and default messages
|
Note that only the layer 3 messages are described in the document. The mapping of the layer 3 messages to lower layers and the use of logical channels is not described in the present document.
The default conditions and default message contents not specified in this clause must be set as in "GPRS default conditions".
Below is a list of the RAI values and the corresponding RAC, LAC and MCC used in the test cases:
RAI-1: MCC1/MNC1/LAC1/RAC1 (Used if only one cell);
RAI-2: MCC2/MNC1/LAC1/RAC1;
RAI-3: MCC1/MNC1/LAC2/RAC1;
RAI-4: MCC1/MNC1/LAC1/RAC2;
RAI-5: MCC1/MNC1/LAC1/RAC3;
RAI-6: MCC2/MNC1/LAC2/RAC1;
RAI-7: MCC2/MNC1/LAC1/RAC2;
RAI-8: MCC1/MNC2/LAC1/RAC1;
RAI-9: MCC1/MNC2/LAC2/RAC1;
RAI10: MCC1/MNC2/LAC1/RAC2.
If the mobile station initial condition specifies that the mobile has a valid IMSI but the initial condition does not mention P-TMSI, than that shall be interpreted as that the mobile has no valid P-TMSI.
Test cases identified in TS 51.010-2 as “EC-GSM –IoT compatible” should consider the default cells in the “Initial Conditions” to be EC-GSM-IoT cells if the test has to be executed in “EC Mode”. Otherwise the cell should be considered as a basic GPRS cell. The test must then be run according to the “MS operation mode C” procedure.

- the ATTACH REQUEST or ROUTING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message (in A/Gb mode and Iu mode ); or
- the ATTACH REQUEST or TRACKING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message (in S1 mode).
The value of timer T3324 can be sent by the network to the MS in:
- the ATTACH ACCEPT or ROUTING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message (in A/Gb mode and Iu mode ); and
- the ATTACH ACCEPT or TRACKING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message (in S1 mode).
…
The network accepts the use of PSM by providing a specific value for timer T3324 when accepting the attach or routing area updating procedure. The MS may use PSM only if the network has provided the T3324 value IE during the last attach or routing area updating procedure with a value different from "deactivated".
…
If the MS supports PSM and requests the use of PSM, then the MS shall include the T3324 value IE with a requested timer value in the ATTACH REQUEST message. When the MS includes the T3324 value IE and the MS indicates support for extended periodic timer value in the MS network feature support IE, it may also include the T3312 extended value IE to request a particular T3312 value to be allocated.

Test procedure
1) The MS sends an ATTACH REQUEST message with identity IMSI and the T3324 value set to 2 minutes.
2) The SS allocates a P-TMSI and returns ATTACH ACCEPT message with a P-TMSI and a value of T3324 set to 2 minutes. The MS acknowledge the P-TMSI by sending ATTACH COMPLETE message. Further communication MS - SS is performed by the new P-TMSI.
3) The MS is PS paged before timer T3324 expires in order to verify that the new P-TMSI is used for PS services and that the MS has not entered PSM.
Maximum duration of test
10 minutes.

Test purpose 1
To test that on receipt of a rejection using the 'roaming not allowed in this location area' cause code, the MS ceases trying to attach on that location area. Successful GPRS attach procedure is possible in other location areas.
Test purpose 2
To test that if the MS is switched off or the SIM is removed the list of 'forbidden location areas for roaming' is cleared.
Test purpose 3
To test that at least 6 entries can be held in the list of 'forbidden location areas for roaming' (the requirement in 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 24.008 is to store at least 10 entries. This is not fully tested by the third procedure).
Test purpose 4
To test that if a cell of the Home PLMN is available then the MS returns to it in preference to any other available cell.

Test procedure
The SS rejects a GPRS attach with the cause value 'Roaming not allowed in this area'. This is done for 6 different location areas. Then the SS checks that the MS does not attempt to perform an attach procedure on the non-allowed location areas.
Different types of MS may use different methods to periodically clear the list of forbidden areas (e.g. every day at 12 am) for roaming. If the list is cleared while the test is being run, it may be necessary to re-run the test.
Maximum duration of test

|
51.010-1
|
44.2.1.1.11.1 Conformance requirement
|
For a mobile originated access attempt, a mobile station configured for EAB shall perform a preliminary access barring check (see sub-clause 3.3.1.4). If the preliminary access barring check indicates network access is barred then access to the network is not allowed. Otherwise, the mobile station shall proceed according to the remainder of this sub-clause.
The preliminary access barring check shall indicate network access is barred if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
- the establishment cause for the request received from the MM sublayer is not "emergency call".
- the SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 21 message is broadcast in the cell and includes EAB information;
- the mobile station is a member of a subcategory of mobile stations targeted by the EAB information;
- the EAB Authorization Mask sent in the EAB information indicates the mobile station’s access class is not authorized;
- the mobile station is not a member of any of the authorized special access classes (i.e. an Access Class in the range 11-15) permitted by the network;
Otherwise, the preliminary access barring check shall indicate network access is not barred.
A network operator can also restrict some MSs to access the network for location registration, although via common access class control or domain specific access class control the MSs are permitted to access the network for other purposes. Therefore, for each access to the network the mobile station shall determine from the information received via the system information broadcast whether access is allowed or not:
- For paging response the mobile station shall evaluate the control information for common access control (as specified in 3GPP TS 44.018 [84], 3GPP TS 44.060 [76], and 3GPP TS 25.331 [23c]), domain specific access control (as specified in 3GPP TS 25.331 [23c]), and the specific control information for paging response (as specified in 3GPP TS 25.331 [23c]; see "Paging Permission with Access Control").
- For generic location updating, GPRS attach and routing area updating procedures the mobile station shall evaluate the control information for:
- common access control (as specified in 3GPP TS 44.018 [84], 3GPP TS 44.060 [76], and 3GPP TS 25.331 [23c]);
- domain specific access control (as specified in 3GPP TS 25.331 [23c]);
- specific control information for location registration (as specified in 3GPP TS 25.331 [23c]; see "Paging Permission with Access Control"); and
- EAB as specified in 3GPP TS 44.018 [84] and 3GPP TS 44.060 [76].

Test Procedure
The MS, configured for Extended Access Class barring, reads the system information block 21. The MS initiates the location updating procedure and/or a GPRS Attach(depending of Operation Mode) the SS verifies that no access attempt is made by the MS. SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 21 is sent on the BCCH with the SI 21 Rest Octets information element in configured with EAB Authorization Mask set to”0000000000”. The MS successfully performs the location updating procedure and/or a GPRS Attach(depending of Operation Mode).
On cell B, The SS sends SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 21 on BCCH with the SI 21 Rest Octets Information element configured with EAB Authorization Mask set to “0000000001”. The RF level of cell A is lowered until cell B is preferred by the MS but the SS verifies that the MS does not perform the routing area update procedure.
The SS deactivates EAB and verifies that the MS successfully perform the routing area update procedure.

Test procedure
The MS sends an ATTACH REQUEST message. The SS allocates a P-TMSI and returns ATTACH ACCEPT message with a P-TMSI. GMM cause 'MSC temporarily not reachable', or 'Network failure' is indicated from SS. The cause code is arbitrarily chosen. The MS sends a ROUTING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message. The SS returns a ROUTING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message. GMM cause 'MSC temporarily not reachable', or 'Network failure' is indicated from SS. The cause code is arbitrarily chosen. The ROUTING AREA UPDATE procedure is repeated four times. An MS operation mode B MS may then perform an MM IMSI attach procedure (according to the PICS statement). Further communication MS - SS is performed by the P-TMSI. The existence of a signalling channel is verified by a request for mobile identity.
Maximum duration of test
15 minutes.
Expected sequence
Dependent whether the option ' Automatic MM IMSI attach procedure at switch-on/power-on' is supported or not, the steps 1-19 or 20-39 apply depending on manufacturer (see PICS).

44.2.1.2.3a Combined GPRS attach / NMO-I enabled in MS
44.2.1.2.3a.1 Conformance requirement
1) The network operation mode (mode I, II, or III) shall be indicated as system information to MSs. Additional system information can indicate that MSs configured to use the extended NMO I system information (see TS 24.368 [111]) shall use NMO I, regardless of what NMO is indicated by system information for other MSs. If this additional system information is absent, MSs configured to use the extended NMO I system information shall use the system information that represents the network operation mode for other MSs. From these indications, the MS determines which mode applies to it. That mode shall be used when using the procedures described in other clauses of this specification.
2) If the parameter "NMO_I_Behaviour" in the NAS configuration Management Object or USIM is set to the value of "1", the bit 2 "NMO I" of system information is applied
3) If the network accepts the combined PS attach procedure (signalled by an IMSI) and allocates a P-TMSI, the UE shall acknowledge the P-TMSI and continue communication with the P-TMSI.

44.2.1.2.3b Combined GPRS attach / PSM
44.2.1.2.3b.1 Conformance requirement
An MS supporting PSM may request the network to assign a value for T3324 by including a requested timer value in:
- the ATTACH REQUEST or ROUTING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message (in A/Gb mode and Iu mode ); or
- the ATTACH REQUEST or TRACKING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message (in S1 mode).
The value of timer T3324 can be sent by the network to the MS in:
- the ATTACH ACCEPT or ROUTING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message (in A/Gb mode and Iu mode ); and
- the ATTACH ACCEPT or TRACKING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message (in S1 mode).
…
The network accepts the use of PSM by providing a specific value for timer T3324 when accepting the attach or routing area updating procedure. The MS may use PSM only if the network has provided the T3324 value IE during the last attach or routing area updating procedure with a value different from "deactivated".
…
If the MS supports PSM and requests the use of PSM, then the MS shall include the T3324 value IE with a requested timer value in the ATTACH REQUEST message. When the MS includes the T3324 value IE and the MS indicates support for extended periodic timer value in the MS network feature support IE, it may also include the T3312 extended value IE to request a particular T3312 value to be allocated.

1) The MS sends an ATTACH REQUEST message with identity IMSI, type 'Combined GPRS/IMSI attach' and the T3324 value set to 2 minutes.
2) The SS allocates a P-TMSI and returns ATTACH ACCEPT message with a P-TMSI and a value of T3324 set to 2 minutes. The MS acknowledge the P-TMSI by sending ATTACH COMPLETE message. Further communication MS - SS is performed by the new P-TMSI.
3) The MS is PS paged before timer T3324 expires in order to verify that the new P-TMSI is used for PS services and that the MS has not entered PSM.
Maximum duration of test
5 minutes.
