If the mobile station identified by its IMSI, it shall parse the message for a corresponding Packet Page Indication field:
- if the Packet Page Indication field indicates a paging procedure for RR connection establishment, or the field is not present in the message, the mobile station shall initiate the immediate assignment procedure;
- if the Packet Page Indication field indicates a packet paging procedure, the mobile station shall indicate the receipt of a paging request to the MM sub-layer.
5. The mobile station initiates the packet access procedure by scheduling the sending of CHANNEL REQUEST messages on RACH.

Test Procedure
The test is repeated three times. Each time the MS is paged for the packet paging procedure through a different paging request type message. After receiving a CHANNEL REQUEST with the establishment cause 'one phase access', an open-end TBF is assigned. A USF is assigned to the MS to enable it to transfer an uplink RLC data block. The received data block is acknowledged by the SS with , Final Ack Indicator = '1' , a valid RRBP. The MS sends PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes.
Expected Sequence
The test sequence is repeated for k = 1 … 3.

Test Procedure
The MS is paged on PCH with IMSI for packet paging procedure. After receiving the CHANNEL REQUEST from the MS a TBF is assigned. The MS sends an LLC PDU containing TLLI in the RLC/MAC header and ATTACH REQUEST, implicitly indicating a paging response. The SS verifies the completeness of ATTACH REQUEST and acknowledges the received RLC data blocks with a valid RRBP and Final Ack indicator = '1'.

Test Procedure
The page mode is set to paging reorganisation. The MS is paged for packet paging procedure through PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 which is sent before the MS's original paging sub-channel re-occurs, but later than the next paging block of that CCCH. The MS starts the random access. The access attempt is rejected.
The SS changes the CCCH configuration with BS_AG_BLKS_RES=2 and BS_PA_MFRMS=5 and waits two SI13 repeat periods, and then sets the page mode to Normal Paging. The MS is paged for packet paging procedure through PAGING REQUEST TYPE 2 sent on the new paging sub-channel. The MS starts the random access. The access attempt is rejected via IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT'. PAGING REQUEST TYPE 1 with paging fill frame and page mode set to "paging reorganisation" is sent.
Two additional CCCHs are activated by the SS. The same test procedure as above is repeated.

Test procedure
The MS is triggered to transfer data, it shall attempt a single block packet access (3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018 subclause 3.5.2.1.2). The SS does not answer to the access bursts but stores N (= 80) Random References and verifies that the MS uses all possible values (0 ... 7) in its Random Reference.
Justification
The length of the Random Reference is 3 bits for single block packet access (3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018 / table 9.9). This test verifies that the MS uses all values (0 ... 7) in its Random Reference.
The probability that in a sequence of N samples one of the possible value does not appear is 8*(7/8)**N for large N.
NOTE: The number of samples N has been computed such that the probability of refusing a correct MS is less than 0,02 %.

Test procedure
The MS shall attempt a one phase packet access (3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018, subclause 3.5.2.1.2). The SS does not answer to the access bursts but stores N (= 80) Random References and verifies that the MS uses all possible values (0 ... 3) in its Random Reference and does not use value '111' as a value of the 3 least significant bits for channel request octet (see 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018 / table 9.9).

Possible values for Random Reference for one phase packet access are 0 to 3 (value '111' is not allowed). This test verifies that the MS uses all values (0 ... 3) in its Random Reference.

Test procedure
The MS is triggered to initiate the GPRS attach procedure, the SS waits until the MS sends all M+1 CHANNEL REQUEST messages, where M is the parameter Max Retrans broadcast on BCCH. The SS waits until T3146 seconds elapse and sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT which shall be ignored by the MS since the access procedure should be aborted.
The MS shall retry the access procedure (according to 3GPP TS 04.60 subclause 7.1.2.3). Again, the SS waits until the MS sends all M+1 CHANNEL REQUEST messages, and then sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT before T3146 seconds elapse. In this case the MS shall correctly send the LLC PDU on the assigned PDCH.
Note:
Timer T3146 (3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018, clause 11) depends on parameter TX_INTEGER broadcast on BCCH.
The minimum value of the timer is 2*S+TX_INTEGER slots, where S is given in 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018, table 3.1.
The maximum value of this timer is 5 s (subclause 11.1.1 in 3GPP TS 04.08).

Test procedure
The MS is triggered to initiate the GPRS attach procedure. After reception of CHANNEL REQUEST the SS sends a two-message IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT which actually describe a default IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message, except that it is split in two parts: basically, the first part contains the IA Rest Octets, and the second part the Packet Channel Description IE.
The SS verifies that the MS correctly switches to the assigned PDCH and completes GPRS attach.

Test procedure
The MS is triggered to transfer 440 octets of data. The SS assigns packet uplink resources in an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message indicating one phase packet access and dynamic allocation. The MS shall start transferring RLC data blocks. The SS reduces the block transfer rate by controlling the USF flag. In this way, the SS forces T3166 (with value 5 s) to expire before counter N3104 reaches N3104_MAX (with value 28 blocks for current settings). The SS verifies that the MS stops transmitting and restarts packet access procedure.
At the second attempt, the SS sends PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK before T3166 seconds. The SS verifies that this time the MS does not abort the access procedure and successfully completes the data transfer.

If the mobile station receives the message after the TBF starting time has expired, it shall ignore the TBF starting time and may immediately access the channel.

Test procedure
The MS is triggered to transfer data. The SS assigns packet uplink resources in an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message indicating one phase packet access and containing a TBF starting time. The MS shall start transferring RLC data blocks after the TBF starting time.
The test is repeated with a TBF starting time in the past. In this case the MS may ‘immediately’ (see note below) send RLC data blocks .
Note:
The MS shall start transmitting RLC blocks within n blocks after the block containing the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message (the exact value of n is specified in 3GPP TS 05.10 subclause 6.11.

Verification
During TBF transfer (steps 3 to 7) the SS monitors access bursts on PTCCH which are located on slots with numbers FN, such that (FN mod (8*52)) = 12 for TAI = 0 (3GPP TS 03.64 subclause 6.5.7.2 and 3GPP TS 05.02 table 6). The access burst contents shall be '11111111 111'.
The test is repeated once more with an arbitrarily chosen TAI in the range 1 to 15. SS shall verify that the access bursts are sent in the correct PTCCH slots as specified in 3GPP TS 05.02 table 6. |
