Test Procedure
Once the MS is in DTM, the SS attempts to modify the resources of the MS. The MS is allocated a timeslot, in the same frequency band, on the current cell. The re-allocation of the MS resources is realised by the MS receiving an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message from the SS. The ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message instructs the switching of the MS to the newly assigned channel and initiates the establishment of lower layer connections. The establishment of the lower layer connections includes the activation of the channels, the connection to the channels and the establishment of the main signalling link. Once the CS connection is established, the MS should return an ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message on the new main signalling link. The SS then sends the PACKET ASSIGNMENT message to the MS over the main signalling link to establish the packet resources and the MS enters DTM.
MS supporting DTM shall complete test for k=1and MSs indicating support of single slot DTM shall additionally complete testing for k=2.

Test Procedure
The MS is in dedicated mode when it is triggered to initiate uplink data transfer. The MS sends a DTM REQUEST message to the SS requesting uplink resources. The SS assigns the required resources and waits until approximately half the uplink data has been passed to the SS before triggering the MS to release the CS resources. The MS initiates the signalling required to release the channel by sending a DISCONNECT message. Once the resources have been cleared the MS requests the establishment of an uplink TBF and completes the data transmission.

While in dedicated mode, upper layers in the mobile station or in the network may request the transport of GPRS information transparently over the radio interface. This procedure is only applicable when:
- the information from upper layers is signalling information; and
- the GTTP length of the message is below the maximum indicated by the network.
In any other case, the RR procedures related to packet resource establishment while in dedicated mode apply.
The information from upper layers shall be carried inside the GTTP Information message. The GTTP Information message contains:
- the TLLI of the MS; and
- the LLC PDU.
The GTTP messages are sent using "normal" priority at the data link layer.
3GPP TS 23.060, sub-clause 6.9.1.1
A cell update takes place when the MS enters a new cell inside the current RA and the MS is in READY state. If the RA has changed, a routeing area update is executed instead of a cell update.

After the voice call has been correctly re-established the MS initiates the Routeing Area Updating procedure on the main DCCH. When the SS has successfully received the ROUTING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message, the SS releases the DCCH with a CHANNEL RELEASE command. The SS then establishes a downlink TBF to allow the ROUTING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message to be sent to the MS.

Test Procedure
A MS in dedicated mode with an active CS call is triggered to establish an uplink TBF. The MS sends a DTM REQUEST message appealing for uplink resources. Upon receiving the DTM request message the SS allocates uplink resources. Once the MS has entered DTM and has had at least ten RLC data blocks acknowledged, the SS sends a HANDOVER COMMAND message to the MS and completes the Handover procedure to a cell in the new RA. The Handover procedure is complete by the MS sending a HANDOVER COMPLETE message to the SS. Once the Handover procedure is complete the SS sends the MS a DTM INFORMATION message, providing the MS with the minimum information required to establish packet resources with the cell. The MS having received the DTM INFORMATION message indicating DTM support in the current cell, initiates the RA Update procedure. The RAU procedure is initiated by sending the ROUTING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message, encapsulated in GTTP, on the main DCCH. The SS completes the RA Update procedure by returning a ROUTING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message on the main DCCH without re-allocating the P-TMSI. The MS can then again initiate the establishment of an uplink TBF.
MS supporting DTM shall complete test for k=1and MSs indicating support of single slot DTM shall additionally complete testing for k=2.

Test Procedure
The SS starts the GSM cell and UTRAN cell and brings the MS into the call active state of Cell 1(CC state U10). The SS sends a PACKET ASSIGNMENT message to the MS on the main DCCH, instructing the MS to switch to the designated timeslot. The SS waits a specified time and then starts to transmit to the newly allocated resources. The SS configures the UTRAN dedicated channel corresponding to the default-configuration 3. After approximately 5k octets of data has been sent, the SS sends a MEASUREMENT INFORMATION to trigger the MS to perform measurements on the UTRAN cell. The SS verifies that the MS include the UTRAN cell in the MEASUREMENT REPORT and then sends INTERSYSTEM TO UTRAN HANDOVER COMMAND message indicating the dedicated channel of the target cell to the MS through the GSM serving cell. After the MS receives the command it shall configure itself accordingly and switch to the dedicated channel of UTRAN cell. The SS checks whether the handover has been performed, by verifying that the MS transmits the HANDOVER TO UTRAN COMPLETE message to the SS through DCCH of the UTRAN cell. The MS then performs the Routing Area Updating procedure, initiated with the transmission of a ROUTING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message. The SS completes the procedure by sending a ROUTING AREA UPDATE COMPLETE message to the MS. The SS establishes a radio bearer to the MS with the RADIO BEARER SETUP and RADIO BEARER SETUP COMPLETE messages. To check that PDP context is active, SS sends MODIFY PDP CONTEXT REQUEST in UMTS cell. The MS may or may not accept the QoS and replies to the SS accordingly.

Test Procedure
The SS starts the GSM cell and UTRAN and brings the MS into the call active state (CC state U10). The MS is then triggered to initiate packet uplink data transfer in RLC acknowledged mode and sends a DTM REQUEST message. On receipt of the DTM REQUEST message, requesting uplink resources, the SS sends a PACKET ASSIGNMENT message to the MS on the main DCCH, instructing the MS to switch to the designated timeslot. The SS waits a specified time and then starts to transmit to the newly allocated resources. The SS configures the UTRAN dedicated channel corresponding to the default-configuration 3. After approximately 5k octets of data has been sent, sent, the SS sends a MEASUREMENT INFORMATION to trigger the MS to perform measurements on the UTRAN cell. The SS verifies that the MS include the UTRAN cell in the MEASUREMENT REPORT and then sends an INTERSYSTEM TO UTRAN HANDOVER COMMAND message, indicating the dedicated channel of the target cell to the MS, through the GSM serving cell. After the MS receives the command it shall configure itself accordingly and switch to the dedicated channel of UTRAN cell. The SS checks whether the handover has been performed, by verifying that the MS transmits a HANDOVER TO UTRAN COMPLETE message to the SS through the DCCH of the UTRAN cell. The MS then optionally attempt to resume the packet resources with the transmission of a SERVICE REQUEST message. The radio bearer is then established and the SS sends a SERVICE ACCEPT message to the MS instructing the MS to use the bearer for packet transmission. To check that PDP context is active, SS sends MODIFY PDP CONTEXT REQUEST in UMTS cell. The MS may or may not accept the QoS and replies to the SS accordingly.

This field indicates the maximum number of LAPDm frames on which a layer 3 can be segmented into and be sent on the main DCCH. It is coded as described in the SI 6 Rest Octets IE.
The parameter N201 is the maximum number of octets which are partially or entirely available for the information field of a frame.
The maximum number of octets partially or entirely available for the information field (N201) is:
- for frames of format A and B:
‑ for the SACCH: N201 = 18;
‑ for the FACCH and SDCCH: N201 = 20.
- for frames of format Bbis:
‑ for BCCH, AGCH, NCH and PCH: N201 = 23;
- for frames of format Bter:
- for the SACCH: N201 = 21;
- for the FACCH and SDCCH: N201 = 23;
- for frames of format B4:
- for the SACCH: N201 = 19.
The network should not use the main DCCH to send messages that exceed the maximum length specified for the uplink. The mobile station, however, shall not reject messages that exceed the maximum length.

Mobile Station:
The MS is in the active state (U10) of a call, on Timeslot N (chosen arbitrarily) of cell A, with a TMSI and P-TMSI allocated but no allocated TBFs or activated PDP context.
The MS is set to use the following as an APN:
APN Network Identifier = “THIS-APN-HAS-TO-BE-63-OCTETS-IN-LENGTH-AND-IS-ENCODED-IN-ASCII “
APN Operator Identifier = “ mnc<MNC>.mcc<MCC>.gprs”
The <MNC> and <MCC> are derived from the IMSI.
Note: The APN has been chosen to ensure that the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST message is over the threshold for main DCCH use, forcing the MS not to use the main DCCH for this signalling message.

Test Procedure
An MS in dedicated mode on cell A is ordered to complete the Handover procedure to cell B. Once the MS has successfully completed the handover procedure to the cell, the SS sends the DTM INFORMATION message, informing the MS of the cell parameters and then the MS completes the Routing Area Updating procedure on the main DCCH. The MS is then triggered to activate a PDP context. The MS has to establish an uplink TBF to be able to send the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST because the message size is greater than is allowed on the main DCCH. The SS responds with the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT message on the main DCCH. After the MS has received the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT message optional can perform an XID negotiation procedure, the SS sends, on the main DCCH, a GMM INFORMATION message to the MS, with an incorrect message type included in the header. The MS responds to this unknown message type with a GMM STATUS message.

50 EGPRS Default Conditions, Message Contents and Macros
The following clause 50 details default conditions, messages and macros that shall be used for the EGPRS test cases. These conditions, messages and macros are derived from the "GPRS default conditions, message contents and macros" (see clause 40). In the following subclauses only those parameters are listed which deviate from the "GPRS default conditions, message contents and macros".
Where values have not been specified the equivalent overall GPRS default values (see subclause 40.1) should be used. If values need to be removed from the overall GPRS defaults then these should be specified as 'OMITTED'.
In case of ambiguity EGPRS settings take precedence over GPRS settings. |
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2 | 51.010-1 | 50.1 EGPRS Default Test Conditions | Since GPRS and EGPRS make use of the same channel combinations subclause 40.1 applies to both GPRS and EGPRS.
NOTE: 'One phase access' test cases may not be fully executed for MS requesting 'Two phases access'.
The resulting step "If the MS requests two phase access the Test Case is terminated" should be interpreted as "Test case is not applicable for the MS".
