A Mobile Station shall correctly respond in an authentication and ciphering procedure by sending a response with the SRES information field set to the same value as the one produced by the authentication and ciphering algorithm in the network.
In a UMTS authentication challenge, if the AUTHENTICATION_AND_CIPHERING REQUEST message includes the UMTS authentication parameters GPRS CKSN, RAND and AUTN, then upon receipt of the message, the MS verifies the AUTN parameter and if this is accepted, the MS processes the challenge information and sends an AUTHENTICATION_AND_CIPHERING RESPONSE message to the network.
In a UMTS authentication challenge, the new UMTS ciphering key, the new GSM ciphering key and the new UMTS integrity key calculated from the challenge information shall overwrite the previous UMTS ciphering key, GSM ciphering key and UMTS integrity key. The new UMTS ciphering key, GSM ciphering key and UMTS integrity key are stored on the USIM together with the ciphering key sequence number. Furthermore, in A/Gb mode when after the authentication procedure an A5 ciphering algorithm that requires a 128-bit ciphering key is taken into use, then a new GSM Kc128 shall also be calculated as described in the subclause 4.3.2.3a

44.2.7 GMM READY timer handling
|
The READY timer, T3314 is used in the MS and in the network per each assigned P-TMSI to control the cell updating and paging procedure.
When the READY timer is running the MS shall perform cell update each time a new cell is selected (see 3GPP TS 03.22 [3]). If a routing area border is crossed a routing area updating procedure shall be performed instead of a cell update.

44.2.7.1 Conformance requirement
|
1) When the READY timer is running the MS shall perform cell update each time a new cell is selected.
2) The READY timer shall be restarted in the MS when the GMM entity receives an indication from lower layers that user data or GMM or SM signalling messages have been transmitted.
3) The READY timer shall be stopped when force to standby is received in a signalling message from the network, after successful completion of the signalling procedure.
4) if the negotiated READY timer value indicates that the ready timer function is deactivated, then the MS shall behave as if READY timer never expires (i.e. the MS remains in READY state all the time).
5) If the READY timer length is set to zero, the MS shall immediately be forced into STANDBY state .MS shall not perform cell update.

The feature Network Identities and Timezone shall make it possible for a serving PLMN to transfer its current identity, universal time, DST and LTZ to MSs, and for the MS to store and use this information. Each one of these elements is optional. The feature significantly enhances roaming as it enables the accurate indication of network identities that are either newer than the ME or have changed their name since the ME was manufactured or sold. Additionally time and timezone information can be utilised by MEs as desired.
The serving PLMN shall make Local Time Zone (LTZ) available to the MS as an offset from Universal Time in units of 15 minutes.
When the LTZ is compensated for DST (summertime), the serving PLMN shall provide a DST parameter to indicate this. The adjustment for DST can be +1h or +2h.
The Time Zone code enables the receiver to calculate the equivalent time in GMT from the other semi‑octets in the Service‑Centre‑Time‑Stamp, or indicate the time zone (GMT, GMT+1H etc.), or perform other similar calculations as required by the implementation. The value contained in the Time Zone field must take into account daylight saving time, such that when the sending entity changes from regular (winter) time to daylight saving (summer) time, there is a change to the value in the Time Zone field.
The mobile station should assume that this time zone applies to the routing area the MS is currently in. The mobile station shall not assume that the time information is accurate.
If the local time zone has been adjusted for Daylight Saving Time, the network shall indicate this by including the IE Network Daylight Saving Time.

Test procedure
Following the GPRS attachment on Cell A, SS sends its local time and date (on GMT+1, Winter Time) using the GMM INFORMATION Message to the MS. The operator verifies then the parameters and/or the time and date stored in the MS.
The MS is then moved to a second cell (Cell B), and after a ROUTING AREA UPDATE procedure, the time is changed to “Summer Time” with the DST IE using a GMM INFORMATION Message. The operator verifies then the parameters and/or the time and date stored in the MS and switches Off the MS
The MS is re-attached on Cell A, the Time Zone is then changed, no DST present (GMT+2, Winter Time), using GMM INFORMATION message. The operator verifies then the parameters and/or the time stored on the MS

Test procedure
Following its GPRS Attachment procedure, the MS receives from SS, through the GMM INFORMATION a complete set of NITZ parameters (PLMN long name, short name, and Universal time with local time adjustment). The operator verifies then the names used and the time and date stored in the MS (according to specific PICS Statements).
The MS is then paged on its paging group with its IMSI. SS verifies that the MS sends a PAGING RESPONSE. SS sends back a MM INFORMATION message changing the NITZ PLMN names (short and full names) and the local time information.
The operator verifies then that the new NITZ names are used and the time information changed (if supported).
The serving cell is then lowered and the MS triggers a ROUTING AREA UPDATE procedure on the second cell. Following this procedure, SS sends some new NITZ PLMN names (full and short) using the GMM INFORMATION message.
The operator verifies then that the new NITZ names are used, if supported, and, if possible, that the time information is not changed.

44.2.10.1 Conformance requirements
|
In state GMM-DEREGISTERED, the MS initiates the GPRS attach procedure by sending an ATTACH REQUEST message to the network, starts timer T3310 and enters state GMM-REGISTERED-INITIATED.
The ATTACH REQUEST message contains the MS Radio Access capability information element.
The purpose of the MS RA capability information element is to provide the radio part of the network with information concerning radio aspects of the mobile station. The contents might affect the manner in which the network handles the operation of the mobile station.
The MS RA capability is a type 4 information element, with a maximum length of 52 octets.
DARP is contained in the Release 6 specifications. In order to implement an MS conforming to Release 99 but supporting DARP, it is necessary for the MS to additionally conform to some parts of the Release 6 specifications, such as the radio frequency requirements for DARP and some signalling extensions relating to the MS Classmark and radio access capabilities.

44.2.11.1 Conformance Requirement
|
When the READY timer is running or has been deactivated the MS shall perform cell update each time a new cell is selected.
When the READY timer has expired the MS shall:
- perform the routing area updating procedure when a routing area border is crossed;
- not perform a cell update when a new cell is selected.
The READY timer is started:
- in the MS when the GMM entity receives an indication from lower layers that an LLC frame other than LLC NULL frame has been transmitted on the radio interface; and
- in the network when the GMM entity receives an indication from lower layers that an LLC frame other than LLC NULL frame has been successfully received by the network.
If a new READY timer value is negotiated, the MS shall upon the reception of the ATTACH ACCEPT or ROUTING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message perform a initial cell update (either by transmitting a LLC frame or, if required, a ATTACH COMPLETE or ROUTING AREA UPDATE COMPLETE message), in order to apply the new READY timer value immediately. If both the network and the MS supports the Cell Notification, the initial cell update shall use any LLC frame except the LLC NULL frame.
In A/Gb mode, if the ATTACH ACCEPT message contains the Cell Notification information element, then the MS shall start to use the LLC NULL frame to perform cell updates.
In A/Gb mode, if the ROUTING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message contains the Cell Notification information element, then the MS shall start to use the LLC NULL frame to perform cell updates.

44.2.11.3.1 Test Procedure 1 – Ready Timer Behaviour
|
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
Two cells (not simultaneously activated), Cell A in MCC1/MNC1/LAC1/RAC1, Cell B in MCC1/MNC1/LAC1/RAC1.
Both cells are operating in network operation mode II.
Mobile Station:
The MS has a valid IMSI. MS is switched off.
Specific PICS statements:
- MS operation mode B (TSPC_operation_mode_B).
- MS operation mode C (TSPC_operation_mode_C) (only if mode B not supported).
- Switch off on button (TSPC_Feat_OnOff).
- Automatic GPRS attach procedure at switch on or power on (TSPC_AddInfo_on_auto_GPRS_AP).
PIXIT statements:
-
Test Procedure
The MS switches on and performs GPRS ATTACH on Cell A. Cell Notification is indicated in the ATTACH ACCEPT message. The MS is made to re-select to Cell B whilst the READY timer is still running. The MS performs Cell Update / Cell Notification on Cell B by sending an LLC NULL frame. The SS then waits for the READY TIMER to expire. The MS is made to re-select to Cell A. It is checked that the MS does not perform Cell Update / Cell Notification. The MS is paged to confirm the cell-reselection to Cell A.
NOTE: the READY timer is not reset following the cell update from Cell A to Cell B but is runs uninterrupted since being started following transmission of the ATTACH COMPLETE message in the initial Cell Update - during the GPRS ATTACH Procedure on Cell A. The value of the ready timer is chosen such that if the MS were to have erroneously re-set the READY timer following the Cell Update from Cell A to Cell B it would perform a Cell Update when returning to Cell B from Cell A.
Maximum Duration of Test
10 minutes.

44.2.11.3.2 Test Procedure 2 – Use of LLC NULL Frame
|
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
Three cells (not simultaneously activated), Cell A in MCC1/MNC1/LAC1/RAC1, Cell B in MCC1/MNC1/LAC1/RAC2 and Cell C in MCC1/MNC1/LAC1/RAC2.
All cells are operating in network operation mode II.
Mobile Station:
The MS has a valid IMSI and P-TMSI-1 stored. MS is switched off.
Specific PICS statements:
- MS operation mode C (TSPC_operation_mode_C).
- MS operation mode B (TSPC_operation_mode_B) (only if mode C not supported).
- Switch off on button (TSPC_Feat_OnOff).
- Automatic GPRS attach procedure at switch on or power on (TSPC_AddInfo_on_auto_GPRS_AP).
PIXIT statements:
-
Test Procedure
The MS switches on and performs GPRS ATTACH on Cell A. In the ATTACH ACCEPT message the SS assigns a new (non-default) value for the READY timer but does not assign a new P-TMSI. Cell Notification is indicated in the ATTACH ACCEPT message. The MS performs an initial Cell Update by sending an LLC frame. It is checked that the MS does not send the LLC NULL frame. The MS is made to re-select to Cell B. The MS sends a ROUTING AREA UPDATE REQUEST. The SS sends a ROUTING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message assigning a new value for the Ready timer but does not assign a new P-TMSI. Cell Notification is indicated in the ROUTING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message. The MS performs an initial Cell Update by sending an LLC frame. It is checked that the MS does not send the LLC NULL frame. Before the Ready timer expires, the MS is made to re-select to Cell C. The MS performs Cell Update / Cell Notification by sending an LLC NULL frame.
NOTE: The SS does not assign a new value of P-TMSI in either the ATTACH ACCEPT or ROUTING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT messages to prevent the sending of ATTACH COMPLETE and ROUTING AREA UPDATE COMPLETE messages by the MS which would obscure possible erroneous use of the LLC NULL frame for the initial cell update by the MS.
Maximum Duration of Test

PIXIT statements:
-Initial conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell, default parameters.
Mobile Station:
The MS is in GMM-state "GMM-DEREGISTERED, normal service" with valid P-TMSI and CKSN.
Test procedure
If the MS is attached, it should be triggered to initiates a GPRS detach procedure. A context activation is then requested by the user. On receipt of the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST message a ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT is returned by the SS with the same requested QoS. The contents of the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST message shall then be checked. The SS then waits for T3380 +10% seconds to ensure T3380 has been stopped and no more ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST messages are sent by the MS. The SS then sends a MODIFY PDP CONTEXT REQUEST message to which the MS shall reply with a MODIFY PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT message to ensure the context has been set up.
