where:
x the first digit:
1 presented to TSG for information;
2 presented to TSG for approval;
3 or greater indicates TSG approved document under change control.
y the second digit is incremented for all changes of substance, i.e. technical enhancements, corrections,
updates, etc.
z the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the document.
The present document is part 2 of a multi-part deliverable covering conformance test specification for Mission Critical
Services over LTE consisting of:
3GPP TS 36.579-1 [2]: "Mission Critical (MC) services over LTE; Part 1: Common test environment"
3GPP TS 36.579-2: "Mission Critical (MC) services over LTE; Part 2: Mission Critical Push To Talk
(MCPTT) User Equipment (UE) Protocol conformance specification" (the present document);
3GPP TS 36.579-3 [3]: " Mission Critical (MC) services over LTE; Part 3: Mission Critical Push To Talk
(MCPTT) Server Application conformance specification";
3GPP TS 36.579-4 [4]: "Mission Critical (MC) services over LTE; Part 4: Test Applicability and
Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) proforma specification";
3GPP TS 36.579-5 [5]: "Mission Critical (MC) services over LTE; Part 5: Abstract test suite (ATS)".

1 Scope
The present document specifies the protocol conformance testing for testing a MCPTT Client for compliance to the
Mission Critical Push To Talk (MCPTT) over LTE protocol requirements defined by 3GPP.
In particular the present document contains:
- the overall test structure;
- the test configurations;
- the conformance requirement and reference to the core specifications;
- the test purposes; and
- a brief description of the test procedure, the specific test requirements and short message exchange table.
The present document is valid for MCPTT Clients implemented according to 3GPP releases starting from Release 13 up
to the Release indicated on the cover page of the present document.
The following information relevant to testing specified in the present document could be found in accompanying
specifications:
- default setting of the test parameters TS 36.579-1 [2];
- Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) TS 36.579-4 [4] and Implementation eXtra Information for
Testing (IXIT) TS 36.579-5 [5];
- the applicability of each test case TS 36.579-4 [4].
The test cases are expected to be executed through the 3GPP radio interface. The present document does not specify the
protocol conformance testing for the EPS (LTE) bearers which carry the MCPTT data sent or received by the MCPTT
Client and which are required to be supported by the UE in which the MCPTT Client is installed. This is defined in
TS 36.523-1 [6].
2 References
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present
document.
- References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or
non-specific.
- For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
- For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including
a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same
Release as the present document.
