Test procedure
The MS is triggered to initiate uplink data transfer. After reception of EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST the SS sends a two-message IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT which actually describes 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 the uplink data transfer.
Maximum duration of the test
5 minutes.

Test procedure
The MS is triggered to initiate uplink data transfer. After reception of EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST the SS sends a two-message IMMEDIATE assignment:
- first attempt: CHANGE_MARK_1 does not match SI13 CHANGE_MARK, leading to TBF establishment failure. (see 3GPP TS 04.18 subclause 3.5.2.1.5).
- second attempt: the second IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message is not received within two multiframes after the first message. The MS shall discard the assignment and continue with packet access.
- third attempt: Request References in both messages do not have same contents. MS shall re-initiate packet access.
- fourth attempt: the second IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message is received in the last access grant block before the second multiframes after the first message. In this case the MS shall successfully switch to the assigned PDCH and complete the uplink data transfer.

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 45 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.

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 may start transferring RLC data blocks at the exact frame specified by the TBF starting time.
The test is repeated with a TBF starting time in the past. In this case the MS shall '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.

The MS under test is addressed as third MS in IPA Single Block Uplink Assignment .The SS verifies that the MS sends a PACKET RESOURCE REQUEST at the first allowed block as indicated by the TBF starting frame and subsequently verifies that the MS correctly switches to the assigned PDCH and completes the uplink data transfer.
Maximum duration of the test

Test procedure
The MS is triggered to initiate the GPRS attach procedure. After reception of 3 CHANNEL REQUEST or EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST messages, the SS sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT with correct Request Reference and including a waiting indication (T3142). The SS verifies that the MS stops sending CHANNEL REQUEST or EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST messages and does not attempt a new packet access until T3142 seconds elapse.
Maximum duration of the test
5 minutes.
NOTE:
EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST shall be used 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 if support of EGPRS Packet Access enhancement is False for a R99 MS.

The test is repeated with an arbitrarily chosen value of T3142 in the range 2 to 60 s.
NOTE: The number of frames between successive access bursts considering the default Sys Info parameters used in the test is larger than 58 frames (see 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018 table 3.1). This value is large enough to allow the MS to respond to the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT message by stopping sending the next access bursts.

Test procedure
The MS is triggered to transfer data. After reception of 3 EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST messages, the SS sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT with correct Request Reference and including a waiting indication (T3142). The SS verifies that the MS stops sending EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST messages.
Before T = min {T3142, T3146} seconds elapse, the SS sends an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT with correct Request Reference. The MS shall switch to the assigned PDCH and transfer the data.
Note on T3146:
NOTE: T3146 is started when sending the last EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST or when receiving the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT. At its expiry, the packet access is aborted.
The value of T3146 is given by T+2*S (3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018, clause 11.1.1), where T is TX_INTEGER and S is given in 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 44.018, Table 3.1. The value of T3146 is 2.15 s. for the current settings.
