It shall then check the CCN_SUPPORTED parameter, if available, that was last received for that cell. This parameter can be sent on BCCH or PBCCH or individually in PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER or in PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER messages. If it is available and if it indicates that CCN mode shall be entered towards that cell or if it is not available, then instead of performing the cell change, the mobile station shall start timer T3206 and enter the CCN mode. At the first possible opportunity, the MS shall then, when in CCN mode, inform the network about the proposed cell by sending a PACKET CELL CHANGE NOTIFICATION message, stop timer T3206, start timers T3208 and T3210. The PACKET CELL CHANGE NOTIFICATION message shall contain the ARFCN for the BCCH and the BSIC as identity of the proposed cell. The message shall also contain measurement reports for the proposed cell and for other neighbour cells if available. In CCN mode the mobile station shall continue the data transfer and store neighbour cell system information if received in instances of the PACKET NEIGHBOUR CELL DATA message, but not perform the cell change. At receipt of the first PACKET NEIGBOUR CELL DATA message or PACKET CELL CHANGE CONTINUE message or PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message, the mobile station shall stop the timer T3210.If a mobile station as response to a PACKET CELL CHANGE NOTIFICATION message receives a PACKET CELL CHANGE CONTINUE message without receiving any neighbour cell system information, the mobile station shall stop timer T3208, stop timer T3210 if still running, leave CCN mode and continue cell reselection in NC0/NC1 mode. The network sends first necessary system information for the cell proposed in the PACKET CELL CHANGE NOTIFICATION message, or for any other cell, in one or more instances of the PACKET NEIGHBOUR CELL DATA message and sends then a PACKET CELL CHANGE CONTINUE message. The mobile station shall store the received system information as specified in sub-clause 8.8.1. When the first instance of the PACKET NEIGHBOUR CELL DATA message is received, the mobile station shall stop timer T3210 if still running. When the PACKET CELL CHANGE CONTINUE message is received, the mobile station shall stop timer T3208, leave CCN mode and continue the cell reselection in NC0/NC1 mode. The network sends first necessary system information for the cell proposed in the PACKET CELL CHANGE NOTIFICATION message, or for any other cell, in one or more instances of the PACKET NEIGHBOUR CELL DATA message and sends then a PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message. The mobile station shall store the received system information as specified in sub-clause 8.8.1. When the first instance of the PACKET NEIGHBOUR CELL DATA message is received, the mobile station shall stop timer T3210 if still running. When the PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message is received, the mobile station shall stop timer T3208, leave CCN mode and follow the procedures as specified for the Packet Cell Change Order (sub-clause 8.4) and in sub-clause 8.8.1.
In extended uplink TBF mode, the uplink TBF may be maintained during temporary inactive periods, where the mobile station has no RLC information to send.
During the temporary inactive periods, the mobile station may stop sending RLC data block, as defined in clause 9.1.3. The network shall continue allocating the mobile station uplink radio blocks during the inactivity period, using the procedures defined in clause 8.1.1 for each medium access mode. Uplink radio blocks shall be allocated as required allowing the mobile station to continue the transfer of RLC data blocks, when a new RLC data block becomes available.
When the mobile station is allocated an uplink radio block and there is no RLC data block ready to send, the mobile station shall send an RLC/MAC control block in each uplink radio block allocated by the network. The priority defined in clause 8.1.1 for different kinds of RLC/MAC blocks apply.

Test procedure
The MS is triggered to initiate packet uplink transfer. SS assigns resources to the MS and it starts to send uplink data that the SS acknowledge. When MS reaches CV=0,it starts sending PACKET UPLINK DUMMY CONTROL BLOCKS During the uplink the signal strength of Cell A is lowered to – 80 dBm. The MS enters CCN mode and sends PACKET CELL CHANGE NOTIFICATION. The MS then continues to send PACKET UPLINK DUMMY CONTROL BLOCKS. While MS is sending PACKET ULINK DUMMY CONTROL BLOCKs, the SS then sends PACKET CELL CHANGE CONTINUE and the MS change to Cell B. The MS request resources for an uplink in the new cell and complete the uplink transfer in the new cell.

The MS is triggered to initiate packet uplink transfer. SS assigns resources to the MS and it starts to send uplink data that the SS acknowledge. During the uplink the signal strength of Cell A is lowered to – 80 dBm. The MS enters CCN mode and sends PACKET CELL CHANGE NOTIFICATION. SS sends one or more PACKET NEIGHBOUR CELL DATA to the MS (with NW_EXT_UTBF in SI13 set to 1). The SS then sends PACKET CELL CHANGE CONTINUE and the MS change to Cell B. The MS requests resources for an uplink and asks for SI2 and SI2bis messages by sending PACKET_SI_STATUS In the new cell the MS completes the uplink transfer while operating in extended uplink TBF.

Test Procedure
An uplink TBF is established and in progress. SS assigns USFs allowing the MS to transmit data blocks. The MS is triggered to transfer 220 octets user data with a different RLC mode and higher radio priority.
The mobile station shall complete the transmission of the current LLC PDU. SS will verify the complete reception of the LLC PDU.
SS acknowledge the LLC PDU with a EGPRS Packet Uplink Ack/Nack with TBF Est field is set to '1' and Final Ack Indicator bit set to '1'. The mobile station shall use the same procedures as are used for TBF establishment using two phase starting from the point where the mobile station transmits the PACKET RESOURCE REQUEST message.
In case the MS ignores the TBF Est field in the EGPRS PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK , the mobile station shall transmit a PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT message, release the TBF and shall establish a new TBF using two phase access.
SS assigns a PDCH to the MS. SS assigns USFs allowing the MS to transmit data blocks until the countdown value CV=0.
SS sends an EGPRS Packet Uplink Ack/Nack with TBF Est field set to '0' and Final Ack Indicator bit set to '1' and the MS is polled. The MS answers with a Packet Control Acknowledgement and the TBF is released.
Maximum Duration of Test
5 minutes.

Test Procedure
An uplink TBF is established and in progress. SS assigns USFs allowing the MS to transmit data blocks until the MS completes the countdown procedure. As soon as the MS is in extended UL TBF mode, the MS is triggered to transfer 220 octets user data with different RLC mode.
The mobile station shall immediately request a resource reallocation for uplink indicating the changed RLC mode applied to the new LLC PDU by sending a PACKET RESOURCE REQUEST message on the PACCH and start timer T3168.
SS keeps assigning USFs, the MS will send Packet Uplink Dummy Control Blocks till T3168 expire. The MS will send a PACKET RESOURCE REQUEST message again on the PACCH and restart timer T3168.
The SS keeps assigning USFs till the MS has transmitted the Packet Resource Request four times.
The MS shall perform an abnormal release with access retry.
The SS will assign new resources to the MS to complete the new TBF.

Test Procedure
The MS, whilst in dedicated mode, is triggered to initiate packet uplink transfer data in RLC unacknowledged mode and sends a DTM REQUEST message. On receipt of the DTM REQUEST message, requesting uplink resources, the SS assigns the MS PS resource. The SS accomplishes the resource assignment by passing a PACKET ASSIGNMENT message to the MS. On receipt of the PACKET ASSIGNMENT message, the MS starts to send RLC DATA BLOCKS to the SS on the assigned PDTCH.
The codec to be used in this test is chosen dependent on the capabilities of the MS.
MS supporting DTM/EGPRS shall complete testing for k=1and MSs indicating support of single slot DTM/EGPRS shall additionally complete testing for k=2.

Test Procedure
The MS, whilst in dedicated mode, is triggered to initiate packet uplink transfer data in RLC unacknowledged mode and sends a DTM REQUEST message. On receipt of the DTM REQUEST message, requesting uplink resources, the SS assigns the MS downlink PS resources using the PACKET ASSIGNMENT message. The MS, upon receipt of the assignment message, aborts the packet access procedure and proceeds with the downlink assignment. When possible the MS requests the uplink TBF establishment. The SS upon receipt of the resource request allocates the MS uplink resources using the PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message. The MS then starts to send RLC DATA BLOCKS to the SS on the assigned PDTCH.
The codec to be used in this test is chosen dependent on the capabilities of the MS.

Test Procedure
The MS, whilst in dedicated mode, is triggered to initiate packet uplink data transfer and sends a DTM REQUEST message. On receipt of the DTM REQUEST message, requesting uplink resources, the SS reallocates the MS's CS resources and assigns PS resources to the MS. The SS accomplishes the resource assignment by passing a DTM ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message to the MS. Once the MS has received the assignment message, it moves to the new allocation, reconnects the CS resources, passes the ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message to the SS on the main DCCH and starts to send RLC DATA BLOCKS to the SS on the assigned TBF.
The codec to be used in this test is chosen dependent on the capabilities of the MS.
MS supporting DTM/EGPRS shall complete testing for k=1 and MSs indicating support of single slot DTM/EGPRS shall additionally complete testing for k=2.
Maximum Duration of Test

The test sequence is repeated for k = 1,2.

683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2 | 51.010-1 | 51.5.1.2.1.1.1 Conformance requirements | This procedure is only applicable to a mobile station in dedicated mode and with no TBF allocated. If the mobile station already has an ongoing TBF, the establishment of the downlink packet resource is performed on the PACCH; see 3GPP TS 04.60.
The establishment of a downlink packet resource is initiated by the RR entity on the network side using the packet downlink assignment procedure in dedicated mode. The procedure is triggered by a request from upper layers to transfer an LLC PDU; see 3GPP TS 24.007. The request from upper layers specifies a QoS profile, an RLC mode, DRX parameters and an MS classmark associated with the packet transfer.
The network initiates the packet downlink assignment procedure in dedicated mode by sending a DTM assignment message (i.e. DTM ASSIGNMENT COMMAND or a PACKET ASSIGNMENT) in acknowledged mode on the main DCCH.
The completion of the packet downlink assignment procedure while in dedicated mode depends on the actual assignment message used by the network:
- when the network sends a PACKET ASSIGNMENT message, the packet downlink assignment procedure is completed for the network when assignment message is sent and for the mobile station when it is received.

Initiation is triggered by a request from upper layers to transfer an upper layer PDU.
When multiple TBF procedures are not supported, the mobile station initiates the packet access procedure by sending the Channel Request Description information element in the (EGPRS) PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message on the PACCH and starting timer T3168.

Test Procedure
Whilst in an active call on timeslot N, the MS receives a PACKET ASSIGNMENT message on the main DCCH, instructing the MS to switch to a designated timeslot and receive data. The SS then starts to transmit to the newly allocated resources. Before the SS completes transmission of the 1000 octets of data, the MS is triggered to initiate an uplink packet transfer. The SS then sends another RLC Downlink Data block to the MS with the S/P bit set to 1. The MS responds by sending a EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message to the SS including the Channel Request Description IE. The SS allocates uplink resources to the MS with the PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message. The test procedure is complete when the SS successfully verifies both uplink and downlink transmission are working in parallel.

Test Procedure
The MS, whilst in dedicated mode, is triggered to initiate packet uplink transfer of 1000 octets of data in RLC unacknowledged mode and sends a DTM REQUEST message. On receiving the DTM REQUEST message, requesting uplink resources, the SS assigns the MS an uplink TBF. The SS accomplishes the resource assignment by passing a PACKET ASSIGNMENT message to the MS. On receiving the PACKET ASSIGNMENT message, the MS starts to send RLC DATA BLOCKS to the SS on the assigned PDTCH. Once the MS has sent correctly approximately 500 octets, the SS transmits a PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message allocating the MS downlink packet resources. The test procedure is complete when the SS successfully verifies both uplink and downlink transmission are working in parallel.
MS supporting DTM/EGPRS shall complete testing for k=1 and MSs indicating support of single slot DTM/EGPRS shall additionally complete testing for k=2.
