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 message with Request Reference 3 having the value '0111 1111' and including a waiting indication (T3142). The correct Extended RA value is stored in Extended RA 3 field. 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 another value of Extended RA. The SS verifies that the MS 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 Table 3.1 / 3GPP TS 44.018, Table 3.3.1.1.2.1. The value of T3146 is 2.28 s for the current settings.

Test procedure
The SS initially sends an IMMEDIATE PACKET ASSIGNMENT including a TBF starting time but a different TLLI and TFI assignment. The MS ignores this IMMEDIATE PACKET ASSIGNMENT message.
The SS sends another IMMEDIATE PACKET ASSIGNMENT message which includes the matching TLLI and TFI assignment specific to the MS. The SS immediately starts transmitting RLC data blocks on the assigned PDCH, which shall be acknowledged by the MS. The MS shall successfully receive the data packets.
Maximum duration of the test
5 minutes.

Test Procedure
The test has three parts.
1. The MS is triggered to transfer user data. A TBF of dynamic allocation in acknowledged mode with USF_GRANULARITY = 1 block is assigned. The countdown values are checked during the RLC data transferring. The SS acknowledges the all received RLC data blocks with the Final Ack Indicator bit set to '1. The SS assigns a downlink TBF, transfers a number of downlink data blocks and polls the MS. The MS responses the polling.
2. The MS is assigned a TBF of dynamic allocation in acknowledged mode with USF_GRANULARITY = 4 blocks. The countdown values are checked during the RLC data transferring. The SS acknowledges the all received RLC data blocks with the Final Ack Indicator bit set to '1.
3. The MS is triggered to transfer user data. A TBF of dynamic allocation on two timeslots in acknowledged mode with USF_GRANULARITY = 4 block is assigned. The countdown values are checked during the RLC data transferring.
The SS acknowledges the all received RLC data blocks with the Final Ack Indicator bit set to '1.

Test Procedure
The test procedure has three parts.
1. The MS is triggered to transfer data. A TBF of dynamic allocation in unacknowledged mode is assigned. The countdown values are checked during the RLC data transferring. The SS acknowledges the all received RLC data blocks with the Final Ack Indicator bit set to '1 and polls the MS. The MS sends PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in response of polling. After 6 blocks the SS assigns a downlink TBF in unacknowledged mode, sends a number downlink data blocks and polls the MS with a valid RRBP. The MS responses the polling.
2. The MS is triggered to transfer data. A TBF of dynamic allocation in unacknowledged mode is assigned. The countdown values are checked during the RLC data transferring. The SS does not acknowledge the received RLC data blocks. After CV = 0 the SS waits for 5.5s (T3182 expires). Once CV=0 the SS checks that the MS does not transfer further RLC data blocks on the assigned TBF.
3. The MS is triggered to transfer data. A TBF of dynamic allocation on two timeslots in unacknowledged mode is assigned. The countdown values are checked during the RLC data transferring. The SS does not acknowledge the received RLC data blocks. Once CV=0 the SS checks that the MS does not transfer further RLC data blocks on the assigned TBF. The last block may be transmitted twice (once in each slot) or the MS may transmit a PACKET UPLINK DUMMY CONTROL message..

Test Procedure
1. The MS is triggered to transfer data. A TBF of dynamic allocation with channel coding MCS-4 in unacknowledged mode is assigned. The countdown values are checked during the RLC data transferring.
2. Once CV=7 (BS_CV_MAX) the SS acknowledges the all received RLC data blocks and changes the channel coding to MCS-1. In the next received RLC data block CV=15. The countdown values are checked during the RLC data transferring.
3. When CV=7 is reached the SS acknowledges the all received RLC data blocks and changes the channel coding to MCS-2. The SS checks the next received RLC data block containing CV=5 or 4 or 3 as the case may be. The countdown values are checked during the RLC data transferring until CV=0. The SS acknowledges all received RLC data blocks with the Final Ack Indicator bit set to '1.

Test Procedure
1. The MS receives an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message containing packet downlink assignment on its PCH. The SS transmits 10 downlink RLC data blocks with consecutive BSN. The SS then transmits a downlink RLC data block with the highest BSN which is ten higher than the BSN of the last RLC data block. The SS sets FBI bit and polls the MS with a valid RRBP in the header of the RLC data block. The MS acknowledges the received data blocks and request a retransmission for the missing 9 data blocks in SSN and RBB fields.
2. The SS sends another 5 RLC data blocks and polls the MS with a valid RRBP. The MS acknowledges the received data blocks and request the retransmission of the missing 4 RLC data blocks. The SS transmits the last 4 RLC data blocks and polls the MS with RRBP=N+26. While the MS waiting for transmission of the final Acknowledgement the SS transmits a RLC data block which sets FBI bit and has same BSN as in the first FBI set beforehand. The MS ignores the downlink data and acknowledges the entire TBF with FINAL_ACK_INDICATION set. The SS transmits another data block with FBI set and polls the MS. The MS acknowledges the entire TBF with FINAL_ACK_INDICATION set. The SS waits 3 s.
3. The MS receives an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message containing packet downlink assignment on its PCH. The SS transmits a number of downlink RLC data blocks, sets FBI bit and polls the MS with a valid RRBP. The MS acknowledges the entire TBF with FINAL_ACK_INDICATION set.
4. The SS sends another PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT on the assigned PACCH with Control ACK bit set. The SS transmits a number of downlink RLC data blocks on the new assigned PDTCH, sets FBI bit and polls the MS with a valid RRBP. The MS acknowledges the entire TBF with FINAL_ACK_INDICATION set.

Test Procedure
1. The MS is triggered to transfer user data. A TBF on one slot of dynamic allocation in acknowledged mode is assigned. After the MS transfers several RLC data blocks the SS sends PACKET PDCH RELEASE with TIMESLOTS_AVAILABLE indicating no timeslot available. It is checked that the MS initiates a random access for one or two phase access request. A TBF is assigned to the MS to allow it to complete the uplink data transferring.
2. The MS is triggered to transfer user data. A TBF on two consecutive slots of dynamic allocation in acknowledged mode is assigned. After the MS transfers several RLC data blocks the SS sends PACKET PDCH RELEASE with TIMESLOTS_AVAILABLE indicating that only a timeslot is available and the assigned downlink control timeslot is no more available. The MS uses the available timeslot to complete the uplink data transferring.
3. The MS receives an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message containing packet downlink assignment on its PCH. A downlink TBF with a timeslot is assigned. The SS transmits several downlink RLC data blocks. Then SS sends PACKET PDCH RELEASE with TIMESLOTS_AVAILABLE indicating no timeslot available and polls the MS with a valid RRBP for acknowledgement. It is checked that the MS does not react upon the polling.
4. A downlink TBF with two timeslots is assigned. The SS transmits several downlink RLC data blocks. Then SS sends PACKET PDCH RELEASE with TIMESLOTS_AVAILABLE indicating only a timeslot available and polls the MS with a valid RRBP for acknowledgement. It is checked that the MS does not react upon the polling and continues receiving the downlink data on the available timeslot. The SS sends another PACKET PDCH RELEASE with TIMESLOTS_AVAILABLE indicating no timeslot available and polls the MS with a valid RRBP for acknowledgement. It is checked that the MS does not react upon the polling.

Test Procedure
The MS is triggered to transfer user data. A TBF using dynamic allocation in acknowledged mode is assigned. The SS assigns an USF to MS until MS has sent CV = 14. Then MS is triggered to send more data. SS acknowledges all received data. A new USF is assigned to MS every 4th second. The CV is checked in the data block. If the CV becomes '0' before having been recalculated, the test has failed. Otherwise the uplink TBF is continued and completed.
