58a.2.9.1 Conformance Requirement
|
If the default single carrier PDCH pair configuration is indicated, then the assignment is for resources on a subset of the PDCH pairs comprising timeslots 0 and 1, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, and 6 and 7 in both the uplink and on the downlink. If the default dual carrier PDCH pair configuration is indicated, then the assignment is for resources on a subset of the PDCH pairs comprising timeslots 0 and 1, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, and 6 and 7 on both carriers in both the uplink and on the downlink. Otherwise, the assignment is for resources on a subset of the PDCH pairs as specified in the Downlink_PDCH_Pairs_C1, Downlink_PDCH_Pairs_C2, Uplink_PDCH_Pairs_C1 and Uplink_PDCH_Pairs_C2 bitmaps.
If the mobile station is currently in packet transfer mode with one or more RTTI TBFs ongoing, then the network may indicate in the assignment message that the PDCH pair configuration is 'Unchanged'. In this case, the PDCH pair configuration described in the most recently received assignment message (for this mobile station) previous to this message applies.
For an uplink PDCH pair using timeslots i and j, where j > i , the corresponding downlink PDCH pair is:
- the one using timeslots i and j; else, if no such PDCH pair is specified
- the one using timeslots i-1 and i; else, if no such PDCH pair is specified
- the one using timeslots i-2 and i; else, if no such PDCH pair is specified
- the one using timeslots i-3 and i if such a PDCH pair exists.
In case the uplink TBF operates in RTTI configuration then the network shall transmit all PACCH messages on the corresponding downlink PDCH-pair associated with the lowest numbered assigned uplink PDCH-pair. Additionally, for the concurrent TBF case, the network may transmit PACCH messages on any of the PDCH-pairs assigned that are common to the downlink and uplink PDCH-pair assignments.

58a.2.9.2 Test Purposes
|
To verify that the MS can operate concurrent uplink and downlink TBFs where the PDCH pairs have been explicitly assigned using the Downlink_PDCH_Pairs_C1 and Uplink_PDCH_Pairs_C1 fields for the following PDCH pair configurations :-
1. The assigned downlink PDCH pair uses the same timeslots as the corresponding downlink pair of the uplink PDCH pair.
2. The assigned downlink PDCH pair uses different timeslots to those of the corresponding downlink pair of the uplink PDCH pair.
3. The assigned downlink PDCH pair uses different timeslots to those of the corresponding downlink pair of the uplink PDCH pair and the downlink PDCH pair timeslots are non-contiguous.
4. The assigned downlink PDCH pair uses different timeslots to those of the corresponding downlink pair of the uplink PDCH pair and the uplink PDCH pair timeslots are non-contiguous.

Test Procedure
The MS is triggered to perform uplink packet transfer. An RTTI mode uplink TBF using RTTI USF mode on a single PDCH pair having contiguous timeslots is assigned. It is checked that the MS responds to USF grant on the corresponding downlink PDCH pair. A downlink RTTI mode TBF using a single PDCH pair having the same timeslots as the corresponding downlink PDCH pair of the uplink PDCH pair is assigned. It is checked that the MS responds to polling for PAN on the assigned downlink PDCH pair. The assigned downlink resources are reassigned so that the downlink TBF uses a single PDCH pair on contiguous timeslots different to those used by the corresponding downlink PDCH pair of the uplink TBF. The assigned uplink resources (uplink PDCH pair and corresponding downlink PDCH pair) remain unchanged. It is checked that the MS responds to polling for downlink ack/nack on the new downlink PDCH pair. It is checked that the MS responds to USF grant on the downlink PDCH pair corresponding to the uplink PDCH pair. The assigned downlink resources are reassigned so that the downlink TBF uses a single PDCH pair on non-contiguous timeslots different to those used by the corresponding downlink PDCH pair of the uplink TBF. The assigned uplink resources (uplink PDCH pair and corresponding downlink PDCH pair) remain unchanged. It is checked that the MS responds to polling for downlink ack/nack on the new downlink PDCH pair. It is checked that the MS responds to USF grant on the downlink PDCH pair corresponding to the uplink PDCH pair. The assigned downlink resources are reassigned so that the downlink TBF uses a single PDCH pair on contiguous timeslots. At the same time the uplink resources are reassigned to use a single PDCH pair on non-contiguous timeslots that are different to those used by the corresponding uplink pair of the assigned downlink PDCH pair. It is checked that the MS responds to polling for downlink ack/nack on the new downlink PDCH pair at which time the downlink TBF is terminated. It is checked that the MS responds to USF grant on the downlink PDCH pair corresponding to the new uplink PDCH pair. The uplink TBF is completed.

Test Procedure
The MS is triggered to perform uplink packet transfer. A BTTI uplink TBF is established and in progress. After the MS sends an uplink data block the SS assigns a downlink TBF on the same timeslot as the uplink TBF. The SS sends a downlink data block with polling for acknowledgement and the assigned USF assigned to the MS for the MS, and indicates FBI=1 for the final data block. The MS sends an uplink data block and acknowledges the received downlink data block on the correct frame.
An RTTI mode uplink TBF using RTTI USF mode on a single PDCH pair having contiguous timeslots is assigned by a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message (to change TTI configuration from BTTI to RTTI). It is checked that the MS responds to USF grant on the corresponding downlink PDCH pair. A downlink RTTI mode TBF using a single PDCH pair having the same timeslots as the corresponding downlink PDCH pair of the uplink PDCH pair is assigned. It is checked that the MS responds to polling for PAN on the assigned downlink PDCH pair.
The SS sends PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE (to change TTI configuration from RTTI to BTTI) assigning a new downlink PDCH replacing the previous PDCH-pair assignment. A downlink data block is sent, the assigned USF assigned to the MS and the MS is polled for acknowledgement. The MS sends an uplink data block and acknowledges the last received downlink data block on the correct frame.
The SS sends PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE (to change TTI configuration from BTTI to RTTI) assigning a new downlink PDCH-pair replacing the previous PDCH assignment. An RTTI mode uplink TBF using RTTI USF mode on a single PDCH pair having contiguous timeslots is assigned. A downlink RTTI mode TBF using a single PDCH pair having the same timeslots as the corresponding downlink PDCH pair of the uplink PDCH pair is assigned. It is checked that the MS responds to polling for downlink ack/nack on the newly assigned downlink PDCH pair corresponding to the new uplink PDCH pair. The uplink TBF is completed.

If the default dual carrier PDCH pair configuration is indicated, then the assignment is for resources on a subset of the PDCH pairs comprising timeslots 0 and 1, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, and 6 and 7 on both carriers in both the uplink and on the downlink. Otherwise, the assignment is for resources on a subset of the PDCH pairs as specified in the Downlink_PDCH_Pairs_C1, Downlink_PDCH_Pairs_C2, Uplink_PDCH_Pairs_C1 and Uplink_PDCH_Pairs_C2 bitmaps.
For the purposes of interpreting the RTTI_DOWNLINK_PDCH_PAIR_ASSIGNMENT_SC and RTTI_DOWNLINK_PDCH_PAIR_ASSIGNMENT_DC bitmaps and the repeated USF structures in the Dynamic Allocation 2 struct and Uplink TBF Assignment 2 struct, PDCH pairs are ordered starting with the PDCH pair on carrier 1 using the lowest numbered timeslots, followed by the PDCH pair on carrier 1 using the next lowest numbered timeslots and so on, followed by the PDCH pair on carrier 2 using the lowest numbered timeslots (if present), etc.
For an uplink PDCH pair using timeslots i and j, where j > i , the corresponding downlink PDCH pair is:
- the one using timeslots i and j; else, if no such PDCH pair is specified
- the one using timeslots i-1 and i; else, if no such PDCH pair is specified
- the one using timeslots i-2 and i; else, if no such PDCH pair is specified
- the one using timeslots i-3 and i if such a PDCH pair exists.
When a mobile station has resources assigned on only one carrier then, for the purposes of subsequent assignment messages, that carrier shall be considered carrier 1. A subsequent assignment message may assign resources on a second carrier, thereby establishing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration; in this case, the assignment message shall provide frequency parameters for a second carrier (carrier 2) for use in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration.
Downlink Dual Carrier enables downlink TBFs and uplink TBFs to use allocated resources on one or more assigned PDCHs on two different radio frequency channels. Uplink RLC/MAC blocks shall not be scheduled on both carriers of a downlink dual carrier configuration in the same radio block period. Downlink RLC/MAC blocks may be scheduled on both carriers of a downlink dual carrier configuration in the same radio block period.
The network may, at any time during uplink packet transfer, change the TTI configuration or USF mode (BTTI USF mode or RTTI USF mode) as well as the corresponding downlink PDCH-pairs of an already established uplink TBF by sending on the downlink PACCH, an uplink TBF assignment message (e.g. PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT, MULTIPLE TBF UPLINK ASSIGNMENT, PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE, MULTIPLE TBF TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE or PACKET CS RELEASE INDICATION). The mobile station shall begin using the new parameters within the reaction time defined in 3GPP TS 45.010.

Test Procedure
The MS is triggered to initiate uplink data transfer. Following reception of the EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST message, the SS assigns an uplink TBF in RTTI mode on a single PDTCH pair using an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message. The MS is then made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. SS sends a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH, instructing the MS for a Dual Carrier Downlink configuration. The SS sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by SS. This is to setup Concurrent Downlink Dual Carrier TBF. The SS sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. The MS receives PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT messages to establish one uplink TBFs with resources on both carrier 1 and carrier 2. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by SS. The MS receives PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message on its PACCH to establish single carrier in both downlink and uplink and change the configuration from RTTI to BTTI mode. Also the assigned downlink PDCH pairs are non-contiguous. The SS sends MS a PACKET DOWNLINK DUMMY CONTROL BLOCK in BTTI mode and assigns the USF. The MS sends an EGPRS UPLINK RLC DATA BLOCK to the SS.
The MS receives another PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message to change the configuration back to Dual Carrier in BTTI mode. Repeat step 21 to step 28 until the completion of data transfer.
If the MS is of EGPRS multislot class 30-39, steps 30-31 should be executed after step 29.

58a.2.12.1 Conformance requirements
|
The RR connection establishment procedure is initiated by the RR entity of the mobile station. Initiation is triggered by request from the MM sublayer to enter dual transfer mode. The request from the MM sublayer to establish the RR connection specifies an establishment cause.
While in dedicated mode, the establishment of an uplink packet resource may be initiated by the RR entity of the mobile station using the packet request procedure.
The mobile station initiates the establishment the packet resource by sending a DTM REQUEST message on the main DCCH.
On receipt of a DTM REQUEST message the network may allocate an uplink packet resource. The packet uplink resource is assigned to the mobile station in one of the DTM assignment messages:
- DTM ASSIGNMENT COMMAND; or
- PACKET ASSIGNMENT.
These messages are sent in acknowledged mode. The DTM ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message may be sent on the SDCCH and on the FACCH. The PACKET ASSIGNMENT message shall be sent only on FACCH.
When sending the DTM ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message on the network side, and when receiving it on the mobile station side, all transmission of signalling layer messages except for those RR messages needed for this procedure and for abnormal cases is suspended until resumption is indicated.
The PACKET ASSIGNMENT message is only used when the packet resource is a PDCH and no reallocation of the RR connection is needed.
The mobile station remains in dual transfer mode until the RR connection or all the packet resources are released.

3GPP TS 44.060 v9.0.0, subclause 8.9

Test Procedure
This part tests the DTM ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message. Reallocation of the RR connection is needed while assigning the packet resources.
Once the MS is in state U10 utilising the default TCH of the cell, the MS is triggered to transfer 10000 octets of user data. MS send DTM REQUEST message indicating the supports for Reduced Latency Capability. SS send a DTM ASSIGNMENT COMMAND to the MS to change the channel configuration to a configuration with CS and packet connections when no timing adjustment is needed and reallocation of the CS timeslot is required. MS replies back with ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message.
The MS starts to send RLC DATA BLOCKS to the SS on the assigned PDTCH. The network also starts to send RLC data blocks to the MS. The test procedure is complete when the SS successfully verifies both uplink and downlink transmission are working in parallel. Finally the CS connection is released.
Steps 12-20 tests the PACKET ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message. The packet resource is a PDCH and no reallocation of the RR connection is needed.
Steps 1-11 are repeated except that in this case the SS send a PACKET ASSIGNMENT to the MS upon receipt of the DTM request message from the MS. There is no ASSIGNMNET COMPLETE message sent back to the SS.
Next the MS is in a dedicated mode and the network initiates data transfer. Steps 21-28 tests the DTM ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message. Reallocation of the RR connection is needed while assigning the packet resources. In step 21 the MS in the active state (U10) of a call on Timeslot N. in step 22 the network initiates transfer of 10000 octets of data by sending a DTM ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message. The MS replies back with an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message. Concurrent TBF’s is established and the data is transferred in both uplink and downlink. The SS verifies that both uplink and downlink data transmission is functioning correctly. The SS also verifies that the CS connection is still through connected. Finally the SS releases the CS connection.
In step 29 the MS is again triggered to transfer 10000 octets of user data. Steps 29-35 tests the PACKET ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message. The packet resource is a PDCH and no reallocation of the RR connection is needed.
Steps 36-57 correspond to the concurrent RTTI TBF establishment in the enhanced DTM CS establishment procedure.
The MS is brought into packet transfer mode for uplink TBF. The user is made to initiate the establishment of a mobile originated circuit switched call. The MS sends the PACKET CS REQUEST message on PACCH. The NW responds by sending an encapsulated DTM ASSIGNMENT COMMAND on the PACCH. Upon receipt of the PACKET CS COMMAND, the MS initiates the establishment of the CS connection. It is checked that the MS maintains the uplink TBF throughout the enhanced DTM CS establishment procedure.

If the network and mobile station both support Downlink Dual Carrier, the network may send a packet assignment message to a mobile station specifying packet resources for one or more TBFs on two carriers (referred to as carrier 1 and carrier 2) and thereby establish a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration. If this message is sent to a mobile station in packet idle mode, the assignment message shall include frequency parameters for both carriers.
When a mobile station has resources assigned on only one carrier then, for the purposes of subsequent assignment messages, that carrier shall be considered carrier 1. A subsequent assignment message may assign resources on a second carrier, thereby establishing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration; in this case, the assignment message shall provide frequency parameters for a second carrier (carrier 2) for use in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration.
In a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration, one or more PDCHs are assigned to a single mobile station on each of two different radio frequency channels. A mobile station with a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration shall not be allocated radio blocks on both radio frequency channels during any given radio block period.

58b.1.2.1 Conformance requirement
|
When a mobile station has resources assigned on only one carrier then, for the purposes of subsequent assignment messages, that carrier shall be considered carrier 1. A subsequent assignment message may assign resources on a second carrier, thereby establishing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration; in this case, the assignment message shall provide frequency parameters for a second carrier (carrier 2) for use in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration.
Downlink Dual Carrier enables downlink TBFs and uplink TBFs to use allocated resources on one or more assigned PDCHs on two different radio frequency channels. Uplink RLC/MAC blocks shall not be scheduled on both carriers of a downlink dual carrier configuration in the same radio block period. Downlink RLC/MAC blocks may be scheduled on both carriers of a downlink dual carrier configuration in the same radio block period.
If the network initially assigns a mobile station radio resources on only one carrier, it can extend this assignment to a downlink dual carrier configuration by sending a new single carrier assignment to the mobile station including assigned radio resources for the second carrier, without changing the resources already assigned for the initial carrier. Alternatively the network can include radio resources for two carriers in an initial or subsequent assignment message.
If the network and mobile station both support Downlink Dual Carrier, the network may send a downlink assignment message (e.g. PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, MULTIPLE TBF DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE, MULTIPLE TBF TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE or PACKET CS RELEASE INDICATION) to a mobile station assigning one or more TBFs with packet resources on two carriers (referred to as carrier 1 and carrier 2) and thereby establish a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration.
If the assignment message contains the Assignment Info IE indicating an assignment type other than 'Dual Carrier assignment', then the packet resources specified in this message replace any existing assignment for the addressed TBFs on the carrier identified by the Carrier ID field. In this case, if the assignment message addresses TBFs that currently have packet resources assigned on the other carrier (i.e. the carrier not identified by the Carrier ID field) then these packet resources shall be treated as follows:
- these resources are implicitly released, if the ASSIGNMENT TYPE field (carried in the Assignment Info IE) indicates that the assignment is an ‘Assignment on single carrier only';
- these resources are unchanged, if the ASSIGNMENT TYPE field indicates that the assignment is a ‘Modification of existing assignment’.
If the assignment message contains the Assignment Info IE indicating an assignment type of 'Dual Carrier assignment', then the packet resources specified in this message replace any existing assignment for the addressed TBFs.
In the case of a mobile station with a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration where the continuous timing advance procedure is used there is no explicit indication of the carrier on which the PTCCH is allocated, and the mobile station shall consider the PTCCH allocation to be on carrier 1 (see sub-clause 5.5.1.7). If a mobile station with a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration receives an assignment message which results in the mobile station no longer being in a
Downlink Dual Carrier configuration (but still in packet transfer mode), the mobile station shall consider the PTCCH allocation to be on the carrier on which packet resources are assigned
When the MS receives the updated value of TA from the BTS on the downlink PTCCH, it shall always use
the last received TA value for the uplink transmission.
Within the packet resource assignments (see 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 24.008 and 3GPP TS 04.60) for
uplink or downlink messages the MS gets the Timing Advance Index (TAI). The MS shall send access bursts
on the subchannel defined by the TAI on the PTCCH using TA=0.

58b.1.2.2 Test purpose
|
To verify that:
- the MS is able to change from single carrier concurrent TBF to dual carrier configuration and operate downlink dual carrier downlink and uplink TBF.
- the MS is able to change from single carrier concurrent TBF to dual carrier configuration and operate downlink dual carrier downlink and uplink TBF.
- in Downlink Dual Carrier configuration where the continuous timing advance procedure is used there is no explicit indication of the carrier on which the PTCCH is allocated, and the mobile station shall consider the PTCCH allocation to be on carrier 1. To verify that the mobile station uses the continuous update timing advance mechanism and sends access bursts on the PTCCH slots as determined by the Timing Advance Index sent in the PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message.
- the MS is able to change from dual carrier to a single carrier assignment and continue to use the same Timing advance parameters if the values are not changed.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. The timing advance value is included in the PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT. The MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH with assignment type set to dual carrier assignment. This configures the MS in Dual Carrier Downlink configuration. The SS sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. The MS receives a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT with assignment type set to dual carrier assignment. The timing advance parameter values are assigned. Timing advanced Index is set to 2. Frequency parameters are specified separately. The SS sends PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK on both carriers assigning USF. During uplink transfer the SS continues monitoring the access burst on PTCCH on carrier 1 such that (FN mod
(8*52)) = 64 (TAI =2).
The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message assigning a single carrier assignment on carrier C1. The timing advance parameters are unchanged. The MS is polled to see if MS responds on C2. The uplink and downlink data transfer is initiated on both directions simultaneously. During uplink transfer the SS continues monitoring the access burst on PTCCH on carrier 1 such that (FN mod (8*52)) = 64 (TAI =2) same as before.
The SS sends a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT and a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT to re establish the concurrent dual carrier TBF. The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message assigning a single carrier assignment on carrier C2. The timing advance parameters are unchanged. The MS is polled to see if MS responds on C1. The uplink and downlink data transfer is initiated on both directions simultaneously. During uplink transfer the SS continues monitoring the access burst on PTCCH on carrier 2 such that (FN mod (8*52)) = 64 (TAI =2) same as before as the timing advance parameter is unchanged.
The MS is configured back to dual carrier configuration mode as it has been done previously.(PACKET UPLINK and DONWLINK ASSIGNMENT). The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message assigning a single carrier assignment on carrier C1. The timing advance parameters are changed to an arbitrarily chosen value. The MS is polled to see if MS responds on C2. The uplink and downlink data transfer is initiated on both directions simultaneously. The SS monitors the access burst on PTCCH on carrier 1SS shall verify that the access burst are sent in the correct idle slots as specified in 3GPP TS 05.02 table 6.
MS is reconfigured in dual carrier configuration mode. The SS sends PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message assigning a single carrier assignment on carrier C1. New frequency and timeslot values are assigned and new timeslot allocations are assigned. The timing advance index is set to 0. The MS completes the uplink and downlink data transfer. During the uplink data transfer the SS monitors the access burst on PTCCH which are located on slots with numbers FN, such that (FN mod (8*52)) = 12 for Timing Advance Index = 0 (3GPP TS 03.64 subclause 6.5.7.2 and 3GPP TS 05.02 table 6). The access burst contents shall be MESSAGE_TYPE = 011111 and CTRL_ACK = 11.

58b.1.2a Single Carrier concurrent TBF to DLMC TBF/ Uplink DLMC TBF (on both carrier 1 and carrier 2)/ Reconfigured back to single Carrier Concurrent TBF
58b.1.2a.1 Conformance requirement
When a mobile station has resources assigned on only one carrier then, for the purposes of subsequent packet assignment messages, that carrier shall be considered carrier 1. A subsequent packet assignment message may assign resources on a second carrier, thereby establishing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration; in this case, the packet assignment message shall provide frequency parameters for a second carrier (carrier 2) for use in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration. Similarly, a subsequent packet assignment message may assign resources on one or more additional carriers, thereby establishing a DLMC configuration; in this case, the packet assignment message shall provide DLMC frequency parameters as required for use in a DLMC configuration.
A mobile station that supports DLMC configuration may be assigned one or more UFPS (see 3GPP TS 45.008 [15]) where the assigned UFPS(s) and their associated carriers are numbered as described in sub-clause 8.1.1.1.3. For the case where a UFPS is defined by a mobile allocation (see sub-clause 12.10a) a mobile station in DLMC configuration will perform carrier selection to determine the set of downlink carriers it can receive during any given radio block period as described in 3GPP TS 45.002 [13].
In DLMC configuration RLC/MAC blocks shall not be scheduled on multiple uplink carriers in the same radio block period whereas RLC/MAC blocks may be scheduled on one or more downlink carriers in the same radio block period.
If the network and mobile station both support Downlink Multi Carrier, the network may send a downlink assignment message (PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE) to a mobile station assigning a downlink TBF with packet resources on multiple downlink carriers and thereby establish a DLMC configuration. In this case a mobile station is assigned a set of one or more UFPSs (see 3GPP TS 45.008 [15]) that in total provide up to 16 carriers. The carriers assigned to a given UFPS shall belong to the same frequency band and Mobile Allocation. If the MS has indicated it supports inter-band reception (see 3GPP TS 24.008) the set of provided carriers shall belong to a maximum of two of the supported frequency bands. The set of UFPS in a DLMC configuration are numbered UFPS1, UFPS2, and so on, ending with UFPSM where UFPS numbering is managed as follows:
- If an assignment message is sent to a mobile station with an ongoing downlink TBF for which only a single carrier is assigned then that carrier shall be considered as UFPS1 for the case where the assignment message establishes a DLMC configuration information.
- An assignment message that assigns one or more new UFPS results in each new UFPS being numbered according to the order in which it was assigned. For example, if UFPS1 and UFPS2 are currently assigned and two new UFPS are added then the first new UFPS becomes UFPS3 and the second new UFPS becomes UFPS4.
- An assignment message that deletes one or more existing UFPS results in the remaining UFPS being renumbered to ensure sequential UFPS numbering. For example, if UFPS1, UFPS2 …UFPS5 are currently assigned and UFPS3 is deleted then UFPS4 becomes UFPS3 and UFPS5 becomes UFPS4.
In the case of a mobile station in a DLMC configuration where the continuous timing advance procedure is used the assignment message indicates the carrier on which the PTCCH is allocated. If a mobile station in a DLMC configuration subsequently receives an assignment message that results in the mobile station no longer being in a DLMC configuration (but still in packet transfer mode), the mobile station shall consider the PTCCH allocation to be on the carrier on which packet resources are assigned. When the MS receives the updated value of TA from the BTS on the downlink PTCCH, it shall always use the last received TA value for the uplink transmission.
Within the packet resource assignments (see 3GPP TS 44.018 and 3GPP TS 44.060) for uplink or downlink messages the MS gets the Timing Advance Index (TAI). The MS shall send access bursts on the subchannel defined by the TAI on the PTCCH. These access bursts received on PTCCH are used by the BTS to derive the timing advance.

58b.1.2a.2 Test purpose
To verify that:
- the MS is able to change from single carrier uplink TBF to a downlink multi carrier configuration and operate downlink multi carrier TBF and an uplink TBF.
- in Downlink Multi Carrier configuration where the continuous timing advance procedure is used there is no explicit indication of the carrier on which the PTCCH is allocated, and the mobile station shall consider the PTCCH allocation to be on carrier 1.
- the mobile station uses the continuous update timing advance mechanism and sends access bursts on the PTCCH slots as determined by the Timing Advance Index sent in the PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message.
- the MS is able to change from multi carrier to a single carrier assignment and continue to use the same Timing advance parameters if the values are not changed.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. The timing advance value is included in the PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT. The MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH with assignment type set to multi carrier assignment. This configures the MS in Multi Carrier Downlink configuration. The SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. The MS receives a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT with assignment type set to multi carrier assignment where the existing single UL carrier will correspond to downlink Carrier1 with no changed parameters and an the uplink carrier corresponding to downlink Carrier 2 will be activated such that UL carriers will be activated for both existing DL carriers. The timing advance parameter values are assigned. Timing advanced Index is set to 2. Frequency parameters are specified separately. The SS sends PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK on both carriers assigning USF. During uplink transfer the SS continues monitoring the access burst on PTCCH on carrier 1 such that (FN mod (8*52)) = 64 (TAI =2).
The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message assigning a single downlink carrier assignment designated as carrier C1 meaning the MS leaves DLMC mode as Carrier2 and its corresponding uplink carrier removed. The timing advance parameters are unchanged. The MS is polled to see if MS responds on C2. The uplink and downlink data transfer is initiated on both directions simultaneously. During uplink transfer the SS continues monitoring the access burst on PTCCH on carrier 1 such that (FN mod (8*52)) = 64 (TAI =2) same as before.
The SS sends a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT and a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT to re-establish the concurrent multi carrier TBF meaning the MS enters DLMC mode where downlink Carrier 1 and 2 are configured and uplink carriers corresponding to Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 are activated. The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message assigning a single downlink carrier assignment on carrier C2. The timing advance parameters are unchanged. The MS is polled to see if MS responds on C1. The uplink and downlink data transfer is initiated on both directions simultaneously. During uplink transfer the SS continues monitoring the access burst on PTCCH on carrier 2 such that (FN mod (8*52)) = 64 (TAI =2) same as before as the timing advance parameter is unchanged.
The MS is configured back to multi carrier configuration mode as it has been done previously.(PACKET UPLINK and DONWLINK ASSIGNMENT). The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message assigning a single carrier assignment on carrier C1. The timing advance parameters are changed to an arbitrarily chosen value. The MS is polled to see if MS responds on C2. The uplink and downlink data transfer is initiated on both directions simultaneously. The SS monitors the access burst on PTCCH on carrier 1SS shall verify that the access burst are sent in the correct idle slots as specified in 3GPP TS 05.02 table 6.
MS is reconfigured in multi carrier configuration mode. The SS sends PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message assigning a single carrier assignment on carrier C1. New frequency and timeslot values are assigned and new timeslot allocations are assigned. The timing advance index is set to 0. The MS completes the uplink and downlink data transfer. During the uplink data transfer the SS monitors the access burst on PTCCH which are located on slots with numbers FN, such that (FN mod (8*52)) = 12 for Timing Advance Index = 0 (3GPP TS 03.64 subclause 6.5.7.2 and 3GPP TS 05.02 table 6). The access burst contents shall be MESSAGE_TYPE = 011111 and CTRL_ACK = 11.

If the network and mobile station both support Downlink Dual Carrier, the network may send a packet assignment message to a mobile station specifying packet resources for one or more TBFs on two carriers (referred to as carrier 1 and carrier 2) and thereby establish a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration. If this message is sent to a mobile station in packet idle mode, the assignment message shall include frequency parameters for both carriers.
When a mobile station has resources assigned on only one carrier then, for the purposes of subsequent assignment messages, that carrier shall be considered carrier 1. A subsequent assignment message may assign resources on a second carrier, thereby establishing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration; in this case, the assignment message shall provide frequency parameters for a second carrier (carrier 2) for use in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration.
If the assignment message contains the Assignment Info IE indicating an assignment type other than 'Dual Carrier assignment', then the packet resources specified in this message replace any existing assignment for the addressed TBFs on the carrier identified by the Carrier ID field. In this case, if the assignment message addresses TBFs that currently have packet resources assigned on the other carrier (i.e. the carrier not identified by the Carrier ID field) then these packet resources shall be treated as follows:
- these resources are implicitly released, if the ASSIGNMENT TYPE field (carried in the Assignment Info IE) indicates that the assignment is an ‘Assignment on single carrier only';
- these resources are unchanged, if the ASSIGNMENT TYPE field indicates that the assignment is a ‘Modification of existing assignment’.
If the assignment message contains the Assignment Info IE indicating an assignment type of 'Dual Carrier assignment', then the packet resources specified in this message replace any existing assignment for the addressed TBFs.
Subsequent assignment messages may be sent to a mobile station operating in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration as described in sub-clause 8.1.1.1.3.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks. MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH. MS receives another PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH with dual carrier assignment type. SS transmits downlink RLC data blocks for on both carriers. MS sends uplink data block on carrier 1. SS sends packet downlink assignment message (assignment type single carrier) to establish single carrier configuration on the downlink side on carrier 1. SS sends downlink blocks on carrier 1 and MS sends acknowledgment. MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH with dual carrier assignment type. Frequency parameters for both carriers are specified. Carrier 1 is specified for all other parameters and this applies to both carriers. SS sends another PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message. All the parameters for carrier 1 and 2 are specified separately. SS sends a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT (assignment of single carrier only) message. Uplink TBF is reallocated to carrier 2. SS sends another PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT (modification of existing assignment) message. Uplink TBF is reallocated to carrier 1. MS receives another PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT (dual carrier assignment) message. Both carriers are assigned on uplink side. MS completes uplink data transfer.
After each assignment SS checks:
- that the MS is sending uplink data block only on the uplink assigned carrier
- that the MS answers to the polled downlink data block only on the downlink assigned carrier

58b.1.3a.1 Conformance requirement
If the network and mobile station both support Downlink Multi Carrier, the network may send a packet assignment message (i.e. PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT or PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE messages) or a PS HANDOVER COMMAND message to a mobile station specifying packet resources that establish a DLMC configuration. The PS HANDOVER COMMAND message shall always provide new frequency parameters for use in the new cell whereas the packet assignment message may:
- provide new frequency parameters for all newly assigned and existing carriers
When a mobile station has resources assigned on only one carrier then, for the purposes of subsequent packet assignment messages, that carrier shall be considered carrier 1. A subsequent packet assignment message may assign resources on a second carrier, thereby establishing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration; in this case, the packet assignment message shall provide frequency parameters for a second carrier (carrier 2) for use in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration. Similarly, a subsequent packet assignment message may assign resources on one or more additional carriers, thereby establishing a DLMC configuration; in this case, the packet assignment message shall provide DLMC frequency parameters as required for use in a DLMC configuration. If an assignment message is sent to a mobile station with an ongoing downlink TBF for which only a single carrier is assigned then that carrier shall be considered as UFPS1 for the case where the assignment message establishes a DLMC configuration information.
Subsequent assignment messages may be sent to a mobile station operating in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration or DLMC configuration as described in sub-clause 8.1.1.1.3.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. MS receives a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE (Assignment type “Dual Carrier assignment”) message on its PACCH, instructing a Dual Carrier configuration for both uplink and downlink. SS sends downlink data block simultaneously on both carriers and MS sends uplink data block.
SS sends another PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE (Assignment type “Dual Carrier assignment”) to change the USF and timeslot assignment on both carriers in both uplink and downlink direction. MS sends PACKET DOWNLINK DUMMY CONTROL BLOCK on USF not assigned to MS to verify MS does not response to old USF assignment. MS sends uplink data blocks on both carriers on newly assigned USF. The SS sends downlink RLC data blocks on carrier 1 and carrier 2 under new assignment.
MS then receives a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message (with assignment type single carrier assignment) to establish single carrier operation on uplink side (carrier 1). MS should not send any data on carrier 2.
SS sends PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message (Assignment type “Dual Carrier assignment”) to change uplink side from single carrier to dual carrier. MS then receives a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message (with assignment type single carrier assignment) to establish single carrier operation on uplink side (carrier 1). This is a legacy Rel-6 message. MS finishes uplink data transfer.

58b.1.4a Single Carrier Uplink TBF with no Downlink TBF / DLMC TBF established / Uplink DLMC TBF (on both carrier 1 and carrier 2)/ Uplink TBF Reconfigured to Single Carrier TBF
58b.1.4a.1 Conformance requirement
If the network and mobile station both support Downlink Multi Carrier, the network may send a packet assignment message (i.e. PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT or PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE messages) or a PS HANDOVER COMMAND message to a mobile station specifying packet resources that establish a DLMC configuration. The PS HANDOVER COMMAND message shall always provide new frequency parameters for use in the new cell whereas the packet assignment message may:
- provide new frequency parameters for all newly assigned and existing carriers, or
- provide new frequency parameters for all newly assigned carriers, modify the frequency parameters for a subset of the existing carriers and leave the frequency parameters for the remaining existing carriers unchanged. When a mobile station has resources assigned on only one carrier then, for the purposes of subsequent packet assignment messages, that carrier shall be considered carrier 1. A subsequent packet assignment message may assign resources on a second carrier, thereby establishing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration; in this case, the packet assignment message shall provide frequency parameters for a second carrier (carrier 2) for use in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration. Similarly, a subsequent packet assignment message may assign resources on one or more additional carriers, thereby establishing a DLMC configuration; in this case, the packet assignment message shall provide DLMC frequency parameters as required for use in a DLMC configuration.
Subsequent assignment messages may be sent to a mobile station operating in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration or DLMC configuration as described in sub-clause 8.1.1.1.3.
3GPP TS 44.060; subclause 5.5.1.7 and 8.1.1.1.3
58b.1.4a.2 Test purpose
To verify that the MS:
- the MS can change from single carrier uplink TBF to (with no downlink TBF) to downlink dual carrier TBF with additional resources on new frequency and resources for uplink TBF being allocated on both carriers.
- the MS is able to change from dual carrier configuration in uplink and downlink direction and operate a single carrier TBF in uplink.
58b.1.4a.3. Method of test
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell, EGPRS supported, DLMC supported.
Mobile Station:
Support for DLMC indicated in MS Radio Access Capabilities IE.
The MS is in the state "idle, GMM-registered" with a P-TMSI allocated, and PDP context 2 activated.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. MS receives a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE (Assignment type “DLMC assignment”) message on its PACCH, instructing a DLMC configuration for both uplink and downlink. SS sends downlink data block simultaneously on both carriers and MS sends uplink data block.
SS sends another PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE (Assignment type “DLMC assignment”) to change the USF and timeslot assignment on both carriers in both uplink and downlink direction. MS sends PACKET DOWNLINK DUMMY CONTROL BLOCK on USF not assigned to MS to verify MS does not response to old USF assignment. MS sends uplink data blocks on both carriers on newly assigned USF. The SS sends downlink RLC data blocks on carrier 1 and carrier 2 under new assignment.
MS then receives a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message (with assignment type single carrier assignment) to establish single carrier operation on uplink side (carrier 1). MS should not send any data on carrier 2.
SS sends PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message (Assignment type DLMC) to change uplink side from single carrier to DLMC. MS then receives a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message (with assignment type single carrier assignment) to establish single carrier operation on uplink side (carrier 1). This is a legacy Rel-6 message. MS finishes uplink data transfer.
Maximum Duration of Test

If the network and mobile station both support Downlink Dual Carrier, the network may send a packet assignment message to a mobile station specifying packet resources for one or more TBFs on two carriers (referred to as carrier 1 and carrier 2) and thereby establish a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration. If this message is sent to a mobile station in packet idle mode, the assignment message shall include frequency parameters for both carriers. If this message is sent to a mobile station which is in packet transfer mode (and is not in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration) the assignment message shall either:
- provide new frequency parameters for both carriers, or
- provide frequency parameters for only one carrier (carrier 2) in which case the frequency parameters for carrier 1 remain unchanged.
In a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration, one or more PDCHs are assigned to a single mobile station on each of two different radio frequency channels. A mobile station with a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration shall not be allocated radio blocks on both radio frequency channels during any given radio block period.

Test Procedure
MS receives an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message on its PCH allocating resources for carrier 1. SS transmits downlink RLC data blocks. MS responds by sending a PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK. An uplink data transfer is triggered, the MS insert the Channel Request Description in a PDAN and the SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message to the MS instructing a Dual Carrier Downlink configuration and single carrier on the uplink side (carrier 1). SS starts to send downlink data and MS sends uplink data blocks. SS sends ACK/NACK message to the MS. MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message instructing a single carrier assignment for downlink side and brings back it to the initial state (step 1).
SS sends another PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message to the MS instructing a dual carrier configuration on downlink side and single carrier on the uplink side (carrier 2). SS starts to send downlink data and MS sends uplink data blocks. SS sends ACK/NACK message to the MS.

58b.1.5a Single Carrier Downlink TBF with No Uplink TBF/ Downlink reconfigured to DLMC TBF/ Uplink TBF established
58b.1.5a.1 Conformance requirement
If the network and mobile station both support Downlink Multi Carrier, the network may send a packet assignment message (i.e. PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT or PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE messages) or a PS HANDOVER COMMAND message to a mobile station specifying packet resources that establish a DLMC configuration. The PS HANDOVER COMMAND message shall always provide new frequency parameters for use in the new cell whereas the packet assignment message may:
- provide new frequency parameters for all newly assigned and existing carriers, or
- provide new frequency parameters for all newly assigned carriers, modify the frequency parameters for a subset of the existing carriers and leave the frequency parameters for the remaining existing carriers unchanged. In a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration, one or more PDCHs are assigned to a single mobile station on each of two different radio frequency channels. In a DLMC configuration, one or more PDCHs are assigned to a single mobile station on one or more of the uplink radio frequency channels that correspond to the downlink radio frequency channels assigned for the DLMC configuration. A mobile station with a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration shall not be allocated radio blocks on more than one radio frequency channels during any given radio block period.
3GPP TS 44.060; subclause 5.5.1.7 and 8.1.1.1
58b.1.5a.2 Test purpose
To verify:
The MS is able to change from Single Carrier downlink TBF (no uplink TBF in process) to operate a DLMC TBF:
- new (additional resources) frequency parameters can be allocated to both carriers
- when frequency parameters are allocated for only one carrier the other carrier remain unchanged.

Frequency parameters may be included in the packet assignment messages (i.e., PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, MULTIPLE TBF DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT, MULTIPLE TBF UPLINK ASSIGNMENT, PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE, MULTIPLE TBF TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE or PACKET CS RELEASE INDICATION messages) and define the radio frequency channels or set of radio frequency channels the mobile station is to use during the assigned TBF(s). The first assignment message, sent to the mobile station when it enters packet transfer mode or MAC-Shared state, shall include the frequency parameters. Subsequent assignment messages, sent to the mobile station during packet transfer mode or MAC-Shared state, may omit the frequency parameters. If a mobile station receives a subsequent assignment message, during packet transfer mode or MAC-Shared state, without the frequency parameters, the mobile station shall continue to use the previously assigned frequency parameters.
If the network and mobile station both support Downlink Dual Carrier, the network may send a packet assignment message to a mobile station specifying packet resources for one or more TBFs on two carriers (referred to as carrier 1 and carrier 2) and thereby establish a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration. If this message is sent to a mobile station in packet idle mode, the assignment message shall include frequency parameters for both carriers. If this message is sent to a mobile station which is in packet transfer mode (and is not in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration) the assignment message shall either:
- provide new frequency parameters for both carriers, or
- provide frequency parameters for only one carrier (carrier 2) in which case the frequency parameters for carrier 1 remain unchanged.
Subsequent assignment messages sent to a mobile station in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration may:
- include frequency parameters which correspond to the frequency parameters already in use for one or both carriers; or
- provide no new frequency parameters, in which case the existing parameters continue to apply; or
- provide new frequency parameters for both carriers; or
- provide new frequency parameters for only one carrier, in which case the frequency parameters for the other carrier remain unchanged.
When a mobile station has resources assigned on only one carrier then, for the purposes of subsequent assignment messages, that carrier shall be considered carrier 1. A subsequent assignment message may assign resources on a second carrier, thereby establishing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration; in this case, the assignment message shall provide frequency parameters for a second carrier (carrier 2) for use in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration.
An assignment message sent to a mobile station in packet transfer mode may specify frequency parameters for one or (in the case of a mobile station with a downlink dual carrier configuration) both carriers which are different from those currently in effect for that mobile station only in the following cases:
a) the assignment message is a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE or MULTIPLE TBF TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message.
b) the assignment message is a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message (respectively PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message) being sent to a mobile station which has no ongoing uplink (respectively downlink) TBF(s).
c) the assignment message is a MULTIPLE TBF DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message (respectively MULTIPLE TBF UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message) being sent to a mobile station which is or, after this assignment, will be in a downlink dual carrier configuration and has no ongoing uplink (respectively downlink) TBF(s); in this case, the ongoing downlink (respectively uplink) TBFs are implicitly reassigned on the new frequency parameters with all other parameters for those TBFs unchanged.
d) the assignment message is a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message (respectively PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message) sent to a mobile station with a downlink dual carrier configuration, where the frequency parameters for only one carrier are changed, and where no ongoing uplink (respectively downlink) TBF(s) had resources assigned on that carrier.
In cases c) and d) above, a format of the message which includes the Carrier ID field shall be used.
When assigning resources on one carrier to a mobile station which is currently in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration using a format of the message which does not include the Carrier ID field, the network shall always include frequency parameters; if one or more TBFs which are ongoing are not explicitly addressed in the assignment message and will remain ongoing after the new assignment, the included frequency parameters shall be those in use for either carrier 1 or carrier 2.
The Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8 and the Dual Carrier Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8.2. The frequency parameters may use an ARFCN defining a non-hopping radio frequency channel, or use the indirect encoding, direct encoding 1 or direct encoding 2 defining a hopping radio frequency channel.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. Then MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH, instructing a Dual Carrier Downlink configuration. The SS sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by SS and sends uplink data block when it receives USF on Carrier 1. This is to setup Concurrent Downlink Dual Carrier TBF.
Then the SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message on the PACCH, instructing a modification of existing assignment for Carrier 1. A new frequency parameter is specified for Carrier 1. The SS then sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by the SS and sends uplink data block when it receives USF on Carrier 1.
Next the SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message on the PACCH, instructing a modification of existing assignment for Carrier 2. A new frequency parameter is specified for Carrier 2. The SS then sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by the SS and sends uplink data block when it receives USF on Carrier 1.
Next the SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message on the PACCH, instructing a Dual Carrier Assignment for both Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 using legacy IEs. New frequency parameters are specified for Carrier 1 and Carrier 2. The SS then sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by the SS and sends uplink data block when it receives USF on Carrier 1.
Then the SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message on the PACCH, instructing a Dual Carrier Assignment for both Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 using dual carrier frequency parameters. New frequency parameters are specified for Carrier 1 and Carrier 2. The SS then sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by the SS and sends uplink data block when it receives USF on Carrier 1.
Finally the SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message on the PACCH, instructing a Dual Carrier Assignment for both Carrier 1 only using legacy IEs. New frequency parameters are specified for Carrier 1. The SS then sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by the SS and sends uplink data block when it receives USF on Carrier 1.

58b.2.1a Concurrent Downlink Multi Carrier TBF/ Reconfigure Frequency Parameters
58b.2.1a.1 Conformance requirement
Frequency parameters may be included in the packet assignment messages (i.e., PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, MULTIPLE TBF DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT, MULTIPLE TBF UPLINK ASSIGNMENT, PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE, MULTIPLE TBF TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE or PACKET CS RELEASE INDICATION messages) or in the PS HANDOVER COMMAND message and define the training sequence codes(s) (TSC) and the radio frequency channels or set of radio frequency channels the mobile station is to use during the assigned TBF(s). The first packet assignment message, sent to the mobile station when it enters packet transfer mode or MAC-Shared state, shall include the frequency parameters. Subsequent packet assignment messages, sent to the mobile station during packet transfer mode or MAC-Shared state, may omit the frequency parameters. If a mobile station receives a subsequent packet assignment message, during packet transfer mode or MAC-Shared state, without the frequency parameters, the mobile station shall continue to use the previously assigned frequency parameters.
A packet assignment message, when sent to a mobile station in dual transfer mode or MAC-DTM state, shall not include the frequency parameters for the carrier supporting the dedicated resources in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration. If the network intends to change the frequency allocation of the carrier supporting the dedicated resources for a mobile station in dual transfer mode or MAC-DTM state, the network may use the DTM assignment procedure defined in 3GPP TS 44.018.
If the network and mobile station both support Downlink Dual Carrier, the network may send a packet assignment message or a PS HANDOVER COMMAND message to a mobile station specifying packet resources for one or more TBFs on two carriers (referred to as carrier 1 and carrier 2) and thereby establish a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration. If the packet assignment message is sent to a mobile station in packet idle mode, this message shall include frequency parameters for both carriers. If this message is sent to a mobile station which is in packet transfer mode (and is not in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration) the assignment message shall either:
- provide new frequency parameters for both carriers, or
- provide frequency parameters for only one carrier (carrier 2) in which case the frequency parameters for carrier 1 remain unchanged.
If the network and mobile station both support Downlink Multi Carrier, the network may send a packet assignment message (i.e. PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT or PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE messages) or a PS HANDOVER COMMAND message to a mobile station specifying packet resources that establish a DLMC configuration. The PS HANDOVER COMMAND message shall always provide new frequency parameters for use in the new cell whereas the packet assignment message may:
- provide new frequency parameters for all newly assigned and existing carriers, or
- provide new frequency parameters for all newly assigned carriers, modify the frequency parameters for a subset of the existing carriers and leave the frequency parameters for the remaining existing carriers unchanged.
When a mobile station has resources assigned on only one carrier then, for the purposes of subsequent packet assignment messages, that carrier shall be considered carrier 1. A subsequent packet assignment message may assign resources on a second carrier, thereby establishing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration; in this case, the packet assignment message shall provide frequency parameters for a second carrier (carrier 2) for use in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration. Similarly, a subsequent packet assignment message may assign resources on one or more additional carriers, thereby establishing a DLMC configuration; in this case, the packet assignment message shall provide DLMC frequency parameters as required for use in a DLMC configuration.
A packet assignment message sent to a mobile station in packet transfer mode may specify frequency parameters for one or (in the case of a mobile station with a downlink dual carrier configuration) both carriers which are different from those currently in effect for that mobile station only in the following cases:
a) the assignment message is a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE or MULTIPLE TBF TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message.
b) the assignment message is a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message (respectively PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message) being sent to a mobile station which has no ongoing uplink (respectively downlink) TBF(s).
c) the assignment message is a MULTIPLE TBF DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message (respectively MULTIPLE TBF UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message) being sent to a mobile station which is or, after this assignment, will be in a downlink dual carrier configuration and has no ongoing uplink (respectively downlink) TBF(s); in this case, the ongoing downlink (respectively uplink) TBFs are implicitly reassigned on the new frequency parameters with all other parameters for those TBFs unchanged.
d) the assignment message is a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message (respectively PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message) sent to a mobile station with a downlink dual carrier configuration, where the frequency parameters for only one carrier are changed, and where no ongoing uplink (respectively downlink) TBF(s) had resources assigned on that carrier.
In cases c) and d) above, a format of the message which includes the Carrier ID field shall be used.
When assigning resources on one carrier to a mobile station which is currently in a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration using a format of the message which does not include the Carrier ID field, the network shall always include frequency parameters; if one or more TBFs which are ongoing are not explicitly addressed in the packet assignment message and will remain ongoing after the new assignment, the included frequency parameters shall be those in use for either carrier 1 or carrier 2.
A packet assignment message sent to a mobile station in packet transfer mode with a DLMC configuration may specify frequency parameters for one or more carriers which are different from those currently in effect for that mobile station only in the following cases:
a) the assignment message is a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message.
b) the assignment message is a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message sent to a mobile station which has no ongoing uplink TBF.
c) the assignment message is a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message sent to a mobile station which has an ongoing uplink TBF, subject to the restriction that all existing carriers on which USF is monitored remain assigned.
d) the assignment message is a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message for the case where the ongoing downlink TBF is not modified.
The Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8 and the Dual Carrier Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8.2 and the DLMC Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8.4. The frequency parameters may use an ARFCN defining a non-hopping radio frequency channel, or use the indirect encoding, direct encoding 1 or direct encoding 2 defining a hopping radio frequency channel.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. Then MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH, instructing a Multi Carrier Downlink configuration, the existing UL carrier corresponds to downlink carrier 1. The SS sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by SS and sends uplink data block when it receives USF on Carrier 1. This is to setup Concurrent Downlink Multi Carrier TBF.
Then the SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message on the PACCH, instructing a modification of existing assignment for Carrier 1. A new frequency parameter is specified for Carrier 1. The SS then sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by the SS and sends uplink data block when it receives USF on Carrier 1.
Next the SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message on the PACCH, instructing a modification of existing assignment for Carrier 2. A new frequency parameter is specified for Carrier 2. The SS then sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by the SS and sends uplink data block when it receives USF on Carrier 1.
Next the SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message on the PACCH, instructing a Multi Carrier Assignment for both Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 using legacy IEs. New frequency parameters are specified for Carrier 1 and Carrier 2. The SS then sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by the SS and sends uplink data block when it receives USF on Carrier 1.
Then the SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message on the PACCH, instructing a Multi Carrier Assignment for both Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 using multi carrier frequency parameters. New frequency parameters are specified for Carrier 1 and Carrier 2. The SS then sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by the SS and sends uplink data block when it receives USF on Carrier 1.
Finally the SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message on the PACCH, instructing a Multi Carrier Assignment for both Carrier 1 only using legacy IEs. New frequency parameters are specified for Carrier 1. The SS then sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by the SS and sends uplink data block when it receives USF on Carrier 1.

The Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8 and the Dual Carrier Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8.2. The frequency parameters may use an ARFCN defining a non-hopping radio frequency channel, or use the indirect encoding, direct encoding 1 or direct encoding 2 defining a hopping radio frequency channel.
The indirect encoding defines the assigned set of radio frequency channels by referencing information stored within the mobile station. Such information may be received on BCCH or BCCH (see sub-clauses 5.5.2.1, 11.2.19, 12.8 and 12.10a and 3GPP TS 44.160,), or be received in a previous assignment message using one of the direct encoding options. An MA_NUMBER identifies which of up to eight stored sets of frequency parameters is to be used. The MA_NUMBER shall use the following coding:
MA_NUMBER = 0-13 shall be used to reference a GPRS mobile allocation received in a PSI2 message;
MA_NUMBER = 14 shall be used to reference a GPRS mobile allocation received in a SI13 or PSI13 message;
MA_NUMBER = 15 shall be used to reference a GPRS mobile allocation received in a previous assignment message using the direct encoding.
The direct encoding defines the assigned set of radio frequency channels by using information contained within the assignment message. The direct encoding 1 references the cell allocation or reference frequency lists received on BCCH for the decoding of this information. The direct encoding 2 is self contained. When the direct encoding 1 or 2 is used, the mobile station shall store the received GPRS mobile allocation for possible later reference in an assignment message using the indirect encoding. Such reference shall be made using the MA_NUMBER = 15.
NOTE: If there is a GPRS mobile allocation associated with MA_NUMBER = 15, the association shall be kept unchanged if the mobile station receives a packet assignment using the indirect encoding (referencing any value of the MA_NUMBER), the frequency parameters are not included in the packet assignment (i.e., in packet transfer mode, dual transfer mode, MAC-Shared state or MAC-DTM state) or the mobile station establishes an RR connection (for A/Gb mode) or is allocated a DBPSCH (for Iu mode).
For the decoding of frequency parameters, the mobile station shall be able to store the following frequency information (see sub-clauses 11.2.19, 12.8 and 12.10a):
- four Reference Frequency Lists received in the PSI2 information and the corresponding RFL_NUMBERs for identification, each RFL having a contents length of up to 18 octets;
- a Cell Allocation received in the PSI2 information referencing up to four RFLs;
- seven GPRS Mobile Allocations received in the PSI2 or the SI13/PSI13 information and the corresponding MA_NUMBERs for identification, each GPRS Mobile Allocation information element having a length of up to 12 octets (96 bits); and
- one GPRS mobile allocation received in an assignment message using direct encoding 1 or 2, consisting of either a GPRS Mobile Allocation information element having a length of up to 12 octets (96 bits) or a MA Frequency List having a contents length of up to 18 octets.

Test Procedure
SI1, and SI13 message sent to MS to indicate frequency hopping parameters.
The SS send PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message indicating Indirect Encoding in frequency parameters on Carrier 1 and 2. The SS shall start to transmit the downlink data to the MS on both carrier. To verify that the MS use the new assigned PDTCH parameter, the downlink data block on carrier 1 has the USF assigned to the MS and the downlink data block on carrier 2 is polled to MS to maintain the uplink TBF. This procedure is repeated on both Carrier 1 and Carrier 2.
The SS send PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message indicating Direct Encoding 1 in frequency parameters on Carrier 1 only using legacy Frequency Parameters IE. The SS shall start to transmit the downlink data to the MS. The MS and SS complete the downlink data transfer. The SS verifies that the MS use the last CA information received on BCCH to decode the Mobile Allocation. The SS assigns an USF The SS checks that the MS sent an uplink data block on carrier 1 and a packet downlink ack/nack with correct SS value in response to the polled.
The SS send PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message indicating Direct Encoding 2 in frequency parameters on Carrier 1 only using legacy Frequency Parameters IE and no hopping on Carrier 2. The SS shall start to transmit the downlink data to the MS on both carriers. To verify that the MS use the new assigned PDTCH parameter, the downlink data block on carrier 1 has the USF assigned to the MS and the downlink data block on carrier 2 is polled.

58b.2.3a Concurrent Downlink Multi Carrier TBF / Frequency Hopping
58b.2.3a.1 Conformance requirement
The Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8 and the Dual Carrier Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8.2 and the DLMC Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8.4. The frequency parameters may use an ARFCN defining a non-hopping radio frequency channel, or use the indirect encoding, direct encoding 1 or direct encoding 2 defining a hopping radio frequency channel.
The indirect encoding defines the assigned set of radio frequency channels by referencing information stored within the mobile station. Such information may be received on PBCCH or BCCH (see sub-clauses 5.5.2.1, 11.2.19, 12.8 and 12.10a and 3GPP TS 44.160,), or be received in a previous assignment message using one of the direct encoding options. An MA_NUMBER identifies which of up to eight stored sets of frequency parameters is to be used. The MA_NUMBER shall use the following coding:
MA_NUMBER = 0-13 shall be used to reference a GPRS mobile allocation received in a PSI2 message;
MA_NUMBER = 14 shall be used to reference a GPRS mobile allocation received in a SI13 or PSI13 message;
MA_NUMBER = 15 shall be used to reference a GPRS mobile allocation received in a previous assignment message using the direct encoding.
When the indirect encoding is used, the network may include a CHANGE_MARK_1 and a CHANGE_MARK_2 in the Frequency Parameters information element. The mobile station shall then verify that it is using a set of PBCCH or BCCH information identified by a PSI or SI change mark corresponding to one of the CHANGE_MARK_1 or 2 parameters, for the decoding of the frequency information. If that is not the case, an abnormal condition occurs.
The direct encoding defines the assigned set of radio frequency channels by using information contained within the assignment message. The direct encoding 1 references the cell allocation or reference frequency lists received on PBCCH for the decoding of this information. The direct encoding 2 is self contained. When the direct encoding 1 or 2 is used, the mobile station shall store the received GPRS mobile allocation for possible later reference in an assignment message using the indirect encoding. Such reference shall be made using the MA_NUMBER = 15.
NOTE: If there is a GPRS mobile allocation associated with MA_NUMBER = 15, the association shall be kept unchanged if the mobile station receives a packet assignment using the indirect encoding (referencing any value of the MA_NUMBER), the frequency parameters are not included in the packet assignment (i.e., in packet transfer mode, dual transfer mode, MAC-Shared state or MAC-DTM state) or the mobile station establishes an RR connection (for A/Gb mode) or is allocated a DBPSCH (for Iu mode).
For the decoding of frequency parameters, the mobile station shall be able to store the following frequency information (see sub-clauses 11.2.19, 12.8 and 12.10a):
- four Reference Frequency Lists received in the PSI2 information and the corresponding RFL_NUMBERs for identification, each RFL having a contents length of up to 18 octets;
- a Cell Allocation received in the PSI2 information referencing up to four RFLs;
- seven GPRS Mobile Allocations received in the PSI2 or the SI13/PSI13 information and the corresponding MA_NUMBERs for identification, each GPRS Mobile Allocation information element having a length of up to 12 octets (96 bits); and
- one GPRS mobile allocation received in an assignment message using direct encoding 1 or 2, consisting of either a GPRS Mobile Allocation information element having a length of up to 12 octets (96 bits) or a MA Frequency List having a contents length of up to 18 octets.

Test Procedure
SI1, and SI13 message sent to MS to indicate frequency hopping parameters.
The SS send PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message indicating Indirect Encoding in frequency parameters on Carrier 1 and 2. The SS shall start to transmit the downlink data to the MS on both carrier. To verify that the MS use the new assigned PDTCH parameter, the downlink data block on carrier 1 has the USF assigned to the MS and the downlink data block on carrier 2 is polled to MS to maintain the uplink TBF. This procedure is repeated on both Carrier 1 and Carrier 2.
The SS send PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message indicating Direct Encoding 1 in frequency parameters on Carrier 1 only using legacy Frequency Parameters IE. The SS shall start to transmit the downlink data to the MS. The MS and SS complete the downlink data transfer. The SS verifies that the MS use the last CA information received on BCCH to decode the Mobile Allocation. The SS assigns an USF The SS checks that the MS sent an uplink data block on carrier 1 and a packet downlink ack/nack with correct SS value in response to the polled.
The SS send PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message indicating Direct Encoding 2 in frequency parameters on Carrier 1 only using legacy Frequency Parameters IE and no hopping on Carrier 2. The SS shall start to transmit the downlink data to the MS on both carriers. To verify that the MS use the new assigned PDTCH parameter, the downlink data block on carrier 1 has the USF assigned to the MS and the downlink data block on carrier 2 is polled. The SS checks that the MS sent an uplink data block on carrier 1 and a packet downlink ack/nack with correct SS value in response to the polled

58b.2.4.1 Conformance requirement
|
In a downlink dual carrier configuration, channel quality measurements shall be performed for each radio frequency channel independently. Depending on the amount of information requested by the network (e.g. whether or not per-timeslot information is required) the MS may not be able to include channel quality measurements for both radio frequency channels within the EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message. In this case, the MS shall include channel quality measurements for the radio frequency channel on which the poll was received.
In a downlink dual carrier configuration the MS shall send channel quality reports for both carriers, if there is room in the message. If there is room for only one channel quality report, the MS shall include channel quality measurements for the radio frequency channel on which the poll was received.

Test Procedure
The SS initiates the establishment of concurrent downlink dual carrier in BTTI mode. The MS is then triggered to transfer 500 octets of user data. The SS assigns an uplink TBF by sending a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message.
While the uplink TBF is ongoing, a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT is sent to the MS to establish a concurrent downlink dual carrier TBF. The SS sends a RLC data blocks on downlink dual carriers that will correspond to a small RB size and poll for the First Partial Bitmap from the MS. The SS polls the MS using the ES/P field in the header of the last downlink data blocks for ES/P value = ‘11’ (EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message containing Channel Quality Report and if there is enough room left in RLC/MAC block, NPB(s)). The SS checks if the EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK from MS includes a Channel Quality Report IE for Carrier 1 and Carrier 2.
Next the SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink dual carriers in odd BSN sequence number (bad blocks).and poll for the First Partial Bitmap from the MS pm Carrier 1. The SS polls the MS using the ES/P field in the header of the downlink data blocks for ES/P value = ‘01’ (EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message containing FPB (First Partial Bitmap), and if there is enough room left in RLC/MAC block, channel quality report(s)). The SS checks if the EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK from MS includes a Channel Quality Report IE for Carrier 1 only.
Finally, the SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink dual carriers in odd BSN sequence number (bad blocks).and poll for the First Partial Bitmap from the MS pm Carrier 2. The SS polls the MS using the ES/P field in the header of the downlink data blocks for ES/P value = ‘10’ (EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message containing NPB (Next Partial Bitmap), and if there is enough room left in RLC/MAC block, channel quality report(s)). The SS checks if the EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK from MS includes a Channel Quality Report IE for Carrier 2 only.

58b.2.4a Concurrent Downlink Multi Carrier TBF / Downlink Multi Carrier Configuration / Channel Quality Reporting
58b.2.4a.1 Conformance requirement
In a downlink multi carrier configuration, channel quality measurements may be performed for each radio frequency channel, or each Unique Frequency Parameter Set, UFPS, independently. A UFPS is determined either by a Mobile Allocation (i.e. multiple carriers assigned the same Mobile Allocation belongs to the same UFPS), or alternatively, a fixed ARFCN. For carrier based reporting, principles that apply in Downlink Dual carrier configuration applies also for Downlink Multi Carrier configuration. For UFPS based reporting the MS shall always include channel quality measurements for the UFPS corresponding to the radio frequency channel on which the poll was received. If there is room in the message the MS may report additional UFPS (if any). Depending on the amount of information requested by the network, in case of UFPS based reporting, the MS may not be able to include channel quality measurements for all UFPSs within the applicable EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK DLMC message.
If this field indicates measurement information is to be reported on a per carrier basis the MS shall always include channel quality measurements for the carrier corresponding to the radio frequency channel on which the poll was received. If there is room in the message (see sub-clause 11.2.48) the MS shall report additional higher numbered carriers (if any) beginning with the next in sequence carrier (see sub-clause 8.1.1.1.3 for the numbering of downlink carriers in a DLMC configuration).

Test Procedure
The SS initiates the establishment of concurrent downlink multi carrier in BTTI mode. The MS is then triggered to transfer 500 octets of user data. The SS assigns an uplink TBF by sending a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message.
While the uplink TBF is ongoing, a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT is sent to the MS to establish a concurrent downlink multi carrier which corresponding to uplink carrier TBF,DLMC measurement type is set to carrier based. The SS sends a RLC data blocks on downlink multi carriers that will correspond to a small RB size and poll for the First Partial Bitmap from the MS. The SS polls the MS using the ES/P field in the header of the last downlink data blocks for ES/P value = ‘11’ (EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message containing Channel Quality Report and if there is enough room left in RLC/MAC block, NPB(s)). The SS checks if the EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK from MS includes a Channel Quality Report IE for Carrier 1 and Carrier 2.
Next the SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink multi carriers in odd BSN sequence number (bad blocks).and poll for the First Partial Bitmap from the MS pm Carrier 1. The SS polls the MS using the ES/P field in the header of the downlink data blocks for ES/P value = ‘01’ (EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message containing FPB (First Partial Bitmap), and if there is enough room left in RLC/MAC block, channel quality report(s)). The SS checks if the EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK from MS includes a Channel Quality Report IE for Carrier 1 only.
Finally, the SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink multi carriers in odd BSN sequence number (bad blocks).and poll for the First Partial Bitmap from the MS pm Carrier 2. The SS polls the MS using the ES/P field in the header of the downlink data blocks for ES/P value = ‘10’ (EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message containing NPB (Next Partial Bitmap), and if there is enough room left in RLC/MAC block, channel quality report(s)). The SS checks if the EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK from MS includes a Channel Quality Report IE for Carrier 2 only.

Test Procedure
Once the MS is in DTM, the SS assigns uplink resources in the Packet Uplink assignment IE and downlink resources in the Packet downlink Assignment IE of the DTM Assignment Command message. SS assigns time slots on two carriers C1 and C2 and brings MS in DLDC configuration. The SS sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by SS. SS makes sure that MS sends all the data blocks on the assigned timeslot.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH, instructing a Dual Carrier Downlink configuration. MS receives an uplink assignment with assignment type set to Dual Carrier assignment and EXTENDED_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION set to 1. MS is allocated USF on carrier 1. When the MS receives the assigned USF of the lowest assigned PDCH, it transmits RLC/MAC data block on the same and all higher PDCHs in the next TDMA frame. It is checked at the SS that the MS sends RLC/MAC data blocks in the next radio block period on all assigned PDTCH and that each data block contains the correct TFI without TLLI on Carrier 1. The MS is allocated USF on carrier 2. The MS transmits. RLC/MAC blocks on the TS on the same and all higher PDCHs in the next TDMA frame. The test is repeated till completion of data transfer to make sure that extended dynamic allocation works independently on each carrier.

58b.2.6a Concurrent Downlink Multi Carrier TBF / Extended Dynamic allocation
58b.2.6a.1 Conformance requirement
A mobile station with a DLMC configuration shall only act on a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message if it includes the DLMC UL Carrier Info IE (see sub-clause 11.2.29). In this case the message may reference one or more of the uplink carriers corresponding to the set of downlink carriers and indicate the following:
- The referenced uplink carrier is not part of the uplink TBF in which case all resources for that uplink carrier (if any) are released.
- The referenced uplink carrier is part of the uplink TBF. If the message assigns no resources for that carrier then its existing resources remain unchanged. Otherwise, the assigned resources shall replace the existing resources (if any) for that carrier.
If the message does not reference an uplink carrier then all resources for that uplink carrier (if any) are released..
Reference
3GPP TS 44.060; subclause 8.1.1.2.1
58b.2.6a.2 Test purpose
To verify that:
The Extended Dynamic allocation procedures work independently on each of the two carriers for a MS configured in DLMC.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH, instructing a Multi Carrier Downlink configuration. MS receives an uplink assignment with assignment type set to Multi Carrier assignment and EXTENDED_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION set to 1. MS is allocated USF on carrier 1. When the MS receives the assigned USF of the lowest assigned PDCH, it transmits RLC/MAC data block on the same and all higher PDCHs in the next TDMA frame. It is checked at the SS that the MS sends RLC/MAC data blocks in the next radio block period on all assigned PDTCH and that each data block contains the correct TFI without TLLI on Carrier 1. The MS is allocated USF on carrier 2. The MS transmits. RLC/MAC blocks on the TS on the same and all higher PDCHs in the next TDMA frame. The test is repeated till completion of data transfer to make sure that extended dynamic allocation works independently on each carrier.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes.

A mobile station supporting Downlink Dual Carrier shall also support the extended RLC/MAC control message segmentation as defined in sub-clause 9.1.12a.
In the case of a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration, all segments belonging to each RLC/MAC control message shall be sent on PACCH blocks belonging to the same carrier.
The network may segment RLC/MAC control messages into one, two or up to nine RLC/MAC control blocks depending on the length of the RLC/MAC control message. Segmentation of an RLC/MAC control message into more than two RLC/MAC control blocks is referred to as extended RLC/MAC control message segmentation. Extended RLC/MAC control message segmentation shall not be used for an RLC/MAC control message that can be sent using one or two RLC/MAC control blocks. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, extended RLC/MAC control message segmentation shall not be used. If the contents of a control message do not fit an integer number of control blocks, filler octets shall be used to fill the remainder of the RLC/MAC control block. Only the last RLC/MAC control block containing elements of the control message shall contain filler octets.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. Then MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH, segmented in 3 blocks , instructing a Dual Carrier Downlink configuration. The MS must do a re assembly of the received block and switch to the assigned PDCH. The SS sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by SS.
While the MS has a concurrent TBF established, the SS sends a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT that assigned a new TFI value. The PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT is segmented in 3 RLC control block but the final segment with FSe bit and RBSNe set to 1. The SS sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously with the new assigned TFI; the tester checks that the MS does not answer with an EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK.
The SS sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and 2 with TFI assigned in step 5. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by SS and complete the uplink data transfer.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. Then MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH, segmented in 3 blocks , instructing a Multi Carrier Downlink configuration. The MS must do a re assembly of the received block and switch to the assigned PDCH. The SS sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by SS.
While the MS has a concurrent TBF established, the SS sends a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT that assigned a new TFI value. The PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT is segmented in 3 RLC control block but the final segment with FSe bit and RBSNe set to 1. The SS sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously with the new assigned TFI; the tester checks that the MS does not answer with an EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK.
The SS sends RLC data blocks on Carrier 1 and 2 with TFI assigned in step 5. MS when polled acknowledges all data blocks send by SS and complete the uplink data transfer.
Maximum Duration of Test
10 minutes.

The Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8 and the Dual Carrier Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8.2 and the DLMC Frequency Parameters information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8.4. The frequency parameters may use an ARFCN defining a non-hopping radio frequency channel, or use the indirect encoding, direct encoding 1 or direct encoding 2 defining a hopping radio frequency channel.
The indirect encoding defines the assigned set of radio frequency channels by referencing information stored within the mobile station. Such information may be received on PBCCH or BCCH (see sub-clauses 5.5.2.1, 11.2.19, 12.8 and 12.10a and 3GPP TS 44.160,), or be received in a previous assignment message using one of the direct encoding options. An MA_NUMBER identifies which of up to eight stored sets of frequency parameters is to be used. The MA_NUMBER shall use the following coding:
MA_NUMBER = 0-13 shall be used to reference a GPRS mobile allocation received in a PSI2 message;
MA_NUMBER = 14 shall be used to reference a GPRS mobile allocation received in a SI13 or PSI13 message;
MA_NUMBER = 15 shall be used to reference a GPRS mobile allocation received in a previous assignment message using the direct encoding.
When the indirect encoding is used, the network may include a CHANGE_MARK_1 and a CHANGE_MARK_2 in the Frequency Parameters information element. The mobile station shall then verify that it is using a set of PBCCH or BCCH information identified by a PSI or SI change mark corresponding to one of the CHANGE_MARK_1 or 2 parameters, for the decoding of the frequency information. If that is not the case, an abnormal condition occurs.
The direct encoding defines the assigned set of radio frequency channels by using information contained within the assignment message. The direct encoding 1 references the cell allocation or reference frequency lists received on PBCCH for the decoding of this information. The direct encoding 2 is self contained. When the direct encoding 1 or 2 is used, the mobile station shall store the received GPRS mobile allocation for possible later reference in an assignment message using the indirect encoding. Such reference shall be made using the MA_NUMBER = 15.
NOTE: If there is a GPRS mobile allocation associated with MA_NUMBER = 15, the association shall be kept unchanged if the mobile station receives a packet assignment using the indirect encoding (referencing any value of the MA_NUMBER), the frequency parameters are not included in the packet assignment (i.e., in packet transfer mode, dual transfer mode, MAC-Shared state or MAC-DTM state) or the mobile station establishes an RR connection (for A/Gb mode) or is allocated a DBPSCH (for Iu mode).
For the decoding of frequency parameters, the mobile station shall be able to store the following frequency information (see sub-clauses 11.2.19, 12.8 and 12.10a):
- four Reference Frequency Lists received in the PSI2 information and the corresponding RFL_NUMBERs for identification, each RFL having a contents length of up to 18 octets;
- a Cell Allocation received in the PSI2 information referencing up to four RFLs;
- seven GPRS Mobile Allocations received in the PSI2 or the SI13/PSI13 information and the corresponding MA_NUMBERs for identification, each GPRS Mobile Allocation information element having a length of up to 12 octets (96 bits); and
- one GPRS mobile allocation received in an assignment message using direct encoding 1 or 2, consisting of either a GPRS Mobile Allocation information element having a length of up to 12 octets (96 bits) or a MA Frequency List having a contents length of up to 18 octets.
In DLMC configurations, restrictions of the mapping in frequency of logical channels onto physical channels may apply. The restrictions apply on a radio block basis to the carriers that are not selected. In case one or more of the assigned carriers belong to a group of selected carriers in a certain radio block period, the mobile shall monitor the assigned PDCHs on these carriers.
Which carriers that are selected is determined in each radio block period. I.e. all carriers where PDCHs are assigned during the radio block period are included in the carrier selection method. The carrier selection method is thus independent on the number of PDCHs assigned to any given carrier.
Whether or not any restrictions apply is dependent on the maximum DLMC carrier frequency spacing supported by the mobile station (see 3GPP TS 45.005) and the ARFCNs used by the assigned carriers during a given radio block period.

Test Procedure
SI1, and SI13 message sent to MS to indicate frequency hopping parameters.
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode
The MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH with assignment type set to multi carrier assignment. This configures the MS in Multi Carrier Downlink configuration. The SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously non frequency hopping.
The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message assigning downlink carrier 3 and Carrier 4, 4 timeslots configured on each downlink Carrier.2 timeslots configured on existing uplink Carrier 1 which corresponds to downlink Carrier 1. The SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink Carrier 1, Carrier 2, Carrier 3 and Carrier 4 simultaneously frequency hopping and checking the carrier selection.
The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message removing Carrier 4, 3 timeslots configured on each existing downlink Carrier.3 timeslots configured on existing uplink Carrier 1 which corresponds to downlink Carrier 1. The SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink Carrier 1, Carrier 2, Carrier 3 simultaneously frequency hopping and checking the carrier selection (flexible resource assignment).

|
58b.2.10.1 Conformance requirement
|
In a downlink multi carrier configuration, channel quality measurements may be performed for each radio frequency channel, or each Unique Frequency Parameter Set, UFPS, independently. A UFPS is determined either by a Mobile Allocation (i.e. multiple carriers assigned the same Mobile Allocation belongs to the same UFPS), or alternatively, a fixed ARFCN. For carrier based reporting, principles that apply in Downlink Dual carrier configuration applies also for Downlink Multi Carrier configuration. For UFPS based reporting the MS shall always include channel quality measurements for the UFPS corresponding to the radio frequency channel on which the poll was received. If there is room in the message the MS may report additional UFPS (if any). Depending on the amount of information requested by the network, in case of UFPS based reporting, the MS may not be able to include channel quality measurements for all UFPSs within the applicable EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK DLMC message.
If this field indicates measurement information is to be reported on a per carrier basis the MS shall always include channel quality measurements for the carrier corresponding to the radio frequency channel on which the poll was received. If there is room in the message (see sub-clause 11.2.48) the MS shall report additional higher numbered carriers (if any) beginning with the next in sequence carrier (see sub-clause 8.1.1.1.3 for the numbering of downlink carriers in a DLMC configuration).

58b.2.13.1 Conformance requirement
|
In addition, for an MS indicating support for non-contiguous intra-band reception, and in case of DLMC configuration, the reference performance as specified in table 6.2-5 apply with the two useful signals at frequencies fo and f1 located at a larger frequency spacing than the maximum supported DLMC carrier frequency spacing.
For a MS supporting DLMC the signalled Maximum Bandwidth, see 3GPP TS 24.008, corresponds to a maximum supported DLMC carrier frequency spacing as shown in Table 6a-1.
Table 6a-1: Nominal maximum supported DLMC carrier frequency spacing
Maximum DLMC Bandwidth (MHz)
5 MHz
10 MHz
15 MHz
20 MHz
Maximum supported DLMC carrier frequency spacing / Number of GSM channels
4.2 MHz/22
8.8 MHz/45
13.2 MHz/67
18 MHz /91
For a MS indicating support for DLMC, no separate requirements apply for inter-band reception unless otherwise stated.
For a MS indicating support for non-contiguous intra-band reception, requirements additionally apply at carrier spacings larger than the maximum supported DLMC carrier frequency spacing, with carrier frequency spacing in each of the two carrier groups separated by at most the maximum supported DLMC carrier frequency spacing

Test Procedure
SI1, and SI13 message sent to MS to indicate frequency hopping parameters.
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode
The MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH with assignment type set to multi carrier assignment. This configures the MS in Multi Carrier Downlink configuration. The SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously non frequency hopping.
The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message assigning downlink carrier 3 and Carrier 4, 4 timeslots configured on each downlink Carrier.2 timeslots configured on existing uplink Carrier 1 which corresponds to downlink Carrier 1. The SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink Carrier 1, Carrier 2, Carrier 3 and Carrier 4 simultaneously frequency hopping and checking the carrier selection.
The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message removing Carrier 4, 3 timeslots configured on each existing downlink Carrier.3 timeslots configured on existing uplink Carrier 1 which corresponds to downlink Carrier 1. The SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink Carrier 1, Carrier 2, Carrier 3 simultaneously frequency hopping and checking the carrier selection (flexible resource assignment).
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes.

Test Procedure
SI1, and SI13 message sent to MS to indicate frequency hopping parameters.
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode
The MS receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message on its PACCH with assignment type set to multi carrier assignment. This configures the MS in Multi Carrier Downlink configuration. The SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink Carrier 1 and Carrier 2 simultaneously non frequency hopping.
The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message assigning downlink carrier 3 and Carrier 4, 4 timeslots configured on each downlink Carrier.2 timeslots configured on existing uplink Carrier 1 which corresponds to downlink Carrier 1. The SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink Carrier 1, Carrier 2, Carrier 3 and Carrier 4 simultaneously frequency hopping and checking the carrier selection.
The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message removing Carrier 4, 3 timeslots configured on each existing downlink Carrier.3 timeslots configured on existing uplink Carrier 1 which corresponds to downlink Carrier 1. The SS sends RLC data blocks on downlink Carrier 1, Carrier 2, Carrier 3 simultaneously frequency hopping and checking the carrier selection (flexible resource assignment).
Maximum Duration of Test

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC unacknowledged mode. The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message, instructing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration, but the TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION_C1 and TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION_C2 violate the mobile station’s multislot capabilities. To verify that the MS did not consider the downlink dual carrier assignment, a polled downlink rlc data block is sent on carrier 1 and the SS checks that the MS does not acknowledged it. The procedure is repeated on Carrier 2. The MS starts a random access for uplink establishment and the MS complete the uplink data transfer.
The test procedure is repeated 2 times. The message contents of PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE are varied as
defined below.
1st execution, TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION_C1 and TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION_C2 violate the MS maximum number of downlink timeslots and violate the transmission and reception timing constraints.
2nd execution, TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION_C1 and TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION_C2 don’t violate the MS maximum number of downlink timeslots but violate the transmission and reception timing constraints.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes.
Expected Sequence
The sequence is repeated 2 times.

58b.3.1a DLMC Configuration / Abnormal Case / DLMC Assignment Multislot Class Violations
58b.3.1a.1 Conformance requirement
During uplink transfer, the network may initiate the establishment of one or more downlink TBFs by sending a downlink assignment message (e.g. PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, MULTIPLE TBF DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE, MULTIPLE TBF TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE, PACKET CS RELEASE INDICATION) to the mobile station on the PACCH.
If the information in the PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE or MULTIPLE TBF TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message does not properly specify an uplink and downlink PDCH or violates the mobile station’s multislot capabilities, the mobile station shall perform an abnormal release with access retry (see sub-clause 8.7.2 and 3GPP TS 44.160);
References
3GPP TS 44.060, subclause 8.1.1.1.3, and 8.1.1.1.3.1.
58b.3.1a.2 Test purpose
To verify that the MS, in downlink TBF establishment during uplink transfer, performs an abnormal release with random access, when the information in the PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message violates the mobile station’s multislot capabilities with respect to the multislot class signalled by the mobile station, as defined in Table B.2 of Annex B.6 in 3GPP TS 45.002.
58b.3.1a.3 Method of test
Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell, EGPRS supported, Downlink Multi Carrier supported.
Mobile Station:
Support for Downlink Multi Carrier indicated in MS Radio Access Capabilities IE.
The MS is in the state "idle, GMM-registered" with a P-TMSI allocated, SPLIT PG CYCLE negotiated, and PDP context 3 activated.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC unacknowledged mode. The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message, instructing a Downlink Multi Carrier configuration, but the TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION for Carrier 1 and TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION for Carrier 2 violate the mobile station’s multislot capabilities. To verify that the MS did not consider the downlink multi carrier assignment, a polled downlink rlc data block is sent on carrier 1 and the SS checks that the MS does not acknowledged it. The procedure is repeated on Carrier 2. The MS starts a random access for uplink establishment and the MS complete the uplink data transfer.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. Transfer is allowed to continue such that BSN is greater than 0.
The SS sends a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message with Dual Carrier Frequency Parameters defining non-hopping frequency parameters for both carriers. Carrier 1 is assigned the same TSC and ARFCN as used on the uplink TBF while Carrier 2 is assigned an ARFCN that lies in a different frequency band. Verify that the MS aborts the uplink TBF and starts a random access for uplink establishment.
The SS assigns a new uplink PDCH to the MS with the same TFI as used in the preceding uplink TBF. Verify that the MS sends RLC data blocks with BSN starting at 0.

58b.3.2a DLMC Configuration / Abnormal Case/ Frequencies not within same band/ Access Retry
58b.3.2a.1 Conformance requirement
If a mobile station that supports Downlink Multi Carrier receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message or PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message that establishes or modifies a DLMC configuration with more carriers or more downlink timeslots than it supports, or assigns eTFIs or a SNS of 8192 or CS-3 for PDAN coding when the mobile station supports 20 or fewer time slots, or assigns carriers in a frequency band it does not support, the mobile station shall perform an abnormal release with access retry (see sub-clause 8.7.2).
References
3GPP TS 44.060, subclause 8.1.1.1.3.1.
58b.3.2a.2 Test purpose
Verify that a MS with ongoing uplink transfer performs an abnormal release with random access when it receives a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message with a Multi Downlink Carrier configuration that has carrier 1 and carrier 2 assigned on two different bands.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode. Transfer is allowed to continue such that BSN is greater than 0.
The SS sends a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message with Multi Carrier Frequency Parameters defining non-hopping frequency parameters for both carriers. Carrier 1 is assigned the same TSC and ARFCN as used on the uplink TBF while Carrier 2 is assigned an ARFCN that lies in a different frequency band. Verify that the MS aborts the uplink TBF and starts a random access for uplink establishment.
The SS assigns a new uplink PDCH to the MS with the same TFI as used in the preceding uplink TBF. Verify that the MS sends RLC data blocks with BSN starting at 0.
The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message with Multi Carrier Frequency Parameters defining non-hopping frequency parameters for both carriers. Carrier 1 is assigned the same TSC and ARFCN as used on the uplink TBF while Carrier 2 is assigned an ARFCN that lies in a different frequency band. Verify that the MS aborts the uplink TBF and starts a random access for uplink establishment.
The SS assigns a new uplink PDCH to the MS with the same TFI as used in the preceding uplink TBF. Verify that the MS sends RLC data blocks with BSN starting at 0.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC acknowledged mode.
The SS sends a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message, instructing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration, but the Frequency Parameters C1 field contains a different TSC than that used for the current uplink TBF. After 5 radio blocks, on the new downlink PDCH for carrier 1, SS sends a few RLC data blocks addressing the MS, with the last data block containing a valid RRBP field. Verify MS does not send Packet Downlink Ack/Nack. SS sends Packet Downlink Dummy Control Block with the assigned USF on the uplink PDCH. Verify MS sends one RLC data block with the correct BSN value.
The SS sends another PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message, instructing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration, but the Frequency Parameters C1 field contains a different ARFCN than that used for the current uplink TBF. After 5 radio blocks, on the new downlink PDCH for carrier 1, SS sends a few RLC data blocks addressing the MS, with the last data block containing a valid RRBP field. Verify MS does not send Packet Downlink Ack/Nack. SS sends Packet Downlink Dummy Control Block with the assigned USF on the uplink PDCH. Verify MS sends one RLC data block with the correct BSN value.
The SS sends another PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message, instructing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration, but the Frequency Parameters C2 field doesn’t exist. After 5 radio blocks, on the new downlink PDCH for carrier 1, SS sends a few RLC data blocks addressing the MS, with the last data block containing a valid RRBP field. Verify MS does not send Packet Downlink Ack/Nack. SS sends Packet Downlink Dummy Control Block with the assigned USF on the uplink PDCH. Verify MS sends one RLC data block with the correct BSN value.
The SS sends another PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message, instructing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration, but the Frequency Parameters C1 field contains an unknown MA_NUMBER. After 5 radio blocks, on the new downlink PDCH for carrier 1, SS sends a few RLC data blocks addressing the MS, with the last data block containing a valid RRBP field. Verify MS does not send Packet Downlink Ack/Nack. SS sends Packet Downlink Dummy Control Block with the assigned USF on the uplink PDCH. Verify MS sends one RLC data block with the correct BSN value.
The SS sends another PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message, instructing a Downlink Dual Carrier configuration with all valid parameters. After 3 radio blocks, on the new downlink PDCH for carrier 1, SS sends a few RLC data blocks addressing the MS, with the last data block containing a valid RRBP field. Verify MS acknowledges the previously received RLC data blocks.
Complete the uplink data transfer.

58b.3.4.1 Conformance requirement
|
During uplink transfer, the network may initiate the establishment of one or more downlink TBFs by sending a downlink assignment message (e.g. PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, MULTIPLE TBF DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE, MULTIPLE TBF TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE, PACKET CS RELEASE INDICATION) to the mobile station on the PACCH.
If the information in the PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE or MULTIPLE TBF TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message does not properly specify an uplink and downlink PDCH or violates the mobile station’s multislot capabilities, the mobile station shall perform an abnormal release with access retry (see sub-clause 8.7.2 and 3GPP TS 44.160);

58b.3.4.2 Test purpose
|
To verify that the MS, in downlink TBF establishment during uplink transfer, performs an abnormal release with random access, when the information in the PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message violates the mobile station’s DLMC - Maximum Number of Downlink Timeslots capabilities but not violate the multislot class defined in Annex B.1with respect to the RAC signalled by the mobile station, as defined in of Annex B.1 and B.6 in 3GPP TS 45.002.

Initial Conditions
System Simulator:
1 cell, EGPRS supported, Downlink Multi Carrier supported.
DLMC Bandwidth: 5MHz.
Mobile Station:
Support for Downlink Multi Carrier indicated in MS Radio Access Capabilities IE.
The MS is in the state "idle, GMM-registered" with a P-TMSI allocated, SPLIT PG CYCLE negotiated, and PDP context 3 activated.

Test Procedure
The EGPRS capable MS is made to transmit uplink RLC data blocks in EGPRS TBF RLC unacknowledged mode. The SS sends a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message, instructing a Downlink Multi Carrier configuration, but the sum of TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION for the 4 Carriers violate the mobile station’s DLMC - Maximum Number of Downlink Timeslot but not the MS multislot class. To verify that the MS did not consider the downlink multi carrier assignment, a polled downlink rlc data block is sent on carrier 1 and the SS checks that the MS does not acknowledged it.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes.
