Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Special Mobile Group
(SMG) of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This ETS describes the technical characteristics and methods of test for Mobile Stations (MSs), operating
in the 900 MHz and 1 800 MHz frequency band (GSM 900 and DCS 1 800) within the digital cellular
telecommunications system.
This ETS corresponds to GSM technical specification GSM 11.10-3 version 4.24.0.
This part of the ETS (Part 3), contains Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN) for Layer 3,
signalling for MS supporting Enhanced Full Rate Speech, and cell selection conformity specifications for
which Mobile Stations, within the digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2), are tested for
compliance.
The graphical form ATS
The electronic forms of the graphical representation (TTCN.GR format) corresponding to the ATS for
Layer 3 are contained in the Adobe Portable Document Format™ files L3-4n0.PDF (Layer 3), EF-4n0.PDF
(Enhanced Full Rate), CS-4n0.PDF (Cell Selection) and DB-4n0.PDF (Dual Band) which accompany this
ETS (Part 3) (these files are contained in archive 6073_ea.ZIP).
The machine processable ATS
The electronic forms of the machine processable files (TTCN.MP format) corresponding to the ATS for
Layer 3 are contained in the ASCII files L3-4o0.mp (Layer 3), EF-4o0.mp (Enhanced Full Rate),
CS-4o0.mp (Cell Selection) and DB-4o0.mp (Dual Band) which accompany this ETS (Part 3) (these files
are contained in archive 6073_ea.ZIP).

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial
IXIT proforma for the Network Layer (Layer 3) at the mobile radio interface of the GSM or DCS (Phase 2)
mobile stations (MS) conforming to the ETSs for the Radio Resource management, the Mobility
Management, the circuit-switched Call Control, the Supplementary Services and Short Message Services
for the digital cellular telecommunications systems (Phase 2).
The ISO standards for the methodology of conformance testing are used as the basis for the test
specifications.

4.3 Test groups
4.3.1 Valid Behaviour tests (BV)
Predefined state transitions are considered as valid. The test purposes in the valid behaviour test
subgroup cover the verification of the normal and exceptional procedures of the various Finite State
Machines (FSMs), i.e. a valid behaviour test is a test where the message sequence and the message
contents are considered as valid.
4.3.2 Invalid Behaviour/Inopportune Behaviour tests (BI-BO)
This test sub group verifies that the Implementation Under Test (IUT) is able to react properly having
received an invalid Protocol Data Unit (PDU) or in the case an inopportune protocol event occurs. An
invalid PDU is defined as a syntactically incorrect message. An inopportune event is syntactically correct
but occurs when it is not expected, e.g. a correctly coded operation is received in a wrong state (the IUT
may respond Error UnexpectedComponentSequence).

4.4 Test Step Structure
4.4.1 Preambles
The preamble is defined for each test purpose.
4.4.2 Postambles
After each test case the IUT shall be brought to the state as defined in the postamble for each test
purpose.
5 Test Purposes (TP)
For each conformance requirement a Test Purpose (TP) is defined. The test purposes are specified in the
ATS Dynamic part (annex A).
5.1 TP and test case naming convention
In order clearly to map the conformance requirements specified in the prETS 300 607-1 and TTCN test
cases in the ATS, the section numbers in the prETS 300 607-1 are used as test case names.
The identifier of each TP is identical to the name of the implemented TTCN test case.
"Test Purpose Identifier" = "Test Case Name" = TPI
