PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In the uplink block specified by the RRBP field
NOTE 1: SI bit set to '0' in all data blocks.
NOTE 2: The SS sends a PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK message at least every k-1 RLC UPLINK DATA messages, being k the window size with a value according to the number of timeslots allocated in the direction (uplink or downlink) of the TBF operating in EGPRS TBF mode, see 3GPP TS 44.060.
NOTE 3: The field CV in the RLC UPLINK DATA messages verifies:
where:
- TBC: total number of RLC data blocks that will be transmitted in the TBF;
- BSN': absolute block sequence number of the RLC data block, from 0 to (TBC - 1);
• NTS: number of timeslots assigned to the uplink TBF, with range 1 to 8;
• K = 2 when commanded MCS is MCS-7, MCS-8 or MCS-9 otherwise K=1.
- the function round() rounds upwards to the nearest integer;
- BS_CV_MAX is a parameter broadcast in the system information;
- the division operation is non-integer and results in zero only for (TBC - BSN' - 1) = 0.
NOTE 4: In the case of Dynamic MAC mode, the macro reference in the corresponding test case may contain a certain frequency (in seconds-1 or frames-1) for the SS to indicate the USF allocated to the mobile so that the MS is allowed to transmit. Otherwise, mobile's USF is indicated in every available block.
NOTE 5: When an EGPRS RLC/MAC block for data transfer consists of two RLC data blocks, the CV of the RLC/MAC header refers to the second RLC data block. |

683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2 | 51.010-1 | 51.1 RR / Paging | The paging procedure is used by the network to cause the MS to establish either an RR connection for circuit switched services or a downlink TBF for EGPRS packet transfer. Normally the MS listens to its paging sub-channel when DRX is used, but this can be modified by the use of different page mode. The correct monitoring of its paging sub-channel on CCCH in different control channel configurations and correct implementation of the paging procedure in the MS are essential. They are the test objectives of this clause.
NOTE:
A R99 MS may optionally use either a Channel Request message or an EGPRS Packet Channel Request to answer to Packet Paging by the SS on CCCH.
In case the MS uses a Channel Request to respond to a Paging Request message on CCCH, the SS shall include GPRS specific message contents in the corresponding Immediate Assignment / Immediate Assignment Reject message.
In case the MS uses EGPRS Channel Request to respond to a Paging Request message on CCCH, the SS shall include EGPRS specific message contents in the corresponding Immediate Assignment / Immediate Assignment Reject message. |

The network initiates the paging procedure by sending a paging request message on an appropriate paging sub-channel on CCCH. Paging initiation using a paging sub-channel on CCCH is used when sending paging information to a mobile station and PCCCH is not present in the cell.
2. The mobile station in packet idle mode is required to receive and analyse the paging messages and immediate assignment messages sent on the paging sub-channels on CCCH corresponding to the paging groups determined for it in packet idle mode.
3. A PAGING REQUEST message may include more than one mobile station identification.
4. In a PAGING REQUEST message used for the packet paging procedure, the mobile station shall be identified by the P-TMSI (GPRS TMSI) or its IMSI. If the mobile station is identified by the P-TMSI, it shall indicate the receipt of a paging request to the MM sub-layer.
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', or an EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST with the establishment cause 'signalling' 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.
NOTE:
EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST shall be used to respond to Paging Request for TBF Establishment in the following cases
a. If Release of EGPRS supported is Release 4 or above.
b. If Support of EGPRS Packet Access enhancement is True for a R99 MS.
CHANNEL REQUEST shall be used to respond to Paging Request for TBF Establishment if support of EGPRS Packet Access enhancement is False for a R99 MS.

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.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes.
NOTE:
EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST shall be used to respond to Paging and Packet Paging Request for TBF Establishment in the following cases

Test procedure
The MS is triggered to transfer data, it shall attempt a Two Phase packet access (3GPP TS 04.18 / 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 two phase packet access (3GPP TS 04.18 / 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 either a one phase packet access using Channel Request or Access Type signalling using Egprs Packet Channel Request. The SS does not answer to the access bursts but stores N (N=80 in case of Channel Request and N=380 in case of Egprs Packet Channel Request) Random References and verifies that the MS uses all possible values in its Random Reference.
Possible values in case of Channel Request are 0...3 and not using value '111' as a value of the 3 least significant bits for channel request octet (see 3GPP TS 04.18/Table 9.1.8.1)
Possible values in case of Egprs Packet Channel Request are 0...31 (see 3GPP TS 04.60 / 11.2.5a and 3GPP TS 04.18/Table 9.1.8.1).

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.
In case of Egprs Packet Channel Request
Possible values for Random Reference for signalling are 0 to 31. This test verifies that the MS uses all values (0 ... 31) in its Random Reference.
Maximum duration of the test
45 minutes.

In case of Channel Requests:
SS verifies that all Random Reference values (Random Reference field is filled with "x") in the range 0 to 3 come out in the stored samples and that value '111' is not used as a value of the 3 least significant bits for channel request octet.
In case of Egprs Packet Channel Requests:
SS verifies that all Random Reference values in the range 0 to 31 come out in the stored samples.
The Channel Request message is coded as follows (reference 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018 table 9.9):
011110xx One phase packet access with request for single timeslot uplink.
01111x0x transmission; one PDCH is needed.

Test procedure
The MS is triggered to initiate uplink data transfer. The SS waits until the MS sends all M+1 EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST messages, and then sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT before minimum value of T3146 seconds elapse. In this case the MS shall correctly send the LLC PDU on the assigned PDCH.
The MS is triggered again to initiate uplink data transfer, the SS waits until the MS sends all M+1 EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST messages, where M is the parameter Max Retrans broadcast on BCCH. The SS waits until the maximum value of T3146 seconds elapse and sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT which shall be ignored by the MS since the access procedure should be aborted.
Note:
Timer T3146 (3GPP TS 04.18 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 seconds. (Subclause 11.1.1 in 04.08)
Maximum duration of the test

On receipt of an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message or, in case of a two-message assignment, a matching pair of IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT messages corresponding to one of its 3 last EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST messages, the mobile station stops T3146 (if running), stops sending EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST messages, and switches to the assigned PDCH.
