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 = TC_NN_A_B_C_D_E, where NN, A, B, C, D and E
are digits used in the corresponding section numbers of prETS 300 607-1. For example, the test case
name TC_26_5_6_2 is the TTCN specification corresponding to the conformance requirements in the
section 26.5.6.1.2 in the prETS 300 607-1. In case where the section has been implemented in more than
one test case sub numbering has been introduced. For example, the section 26.7.4.2.4 of
prETS 300 607-1, Location updating/rejected/national roaming testing is split into 5 test cases. The
corresponding TCs are identified as TC_26_7_4_2_4_1, TC_26_7_4_2_4_2, TC_26_7_4_2_4_3,
TC_26_7_4_2_4_4 and TC_26_7_4_2_4_5, respectively.
6 Abstract test method and test configurations
The distributed test method applies to the L3 MS testing. The test method uses a lower tester and a
Man-Machine Interface (MMI) as an upper tester at the SUT.
6.1 Test system model
The model of the L3 test system is based on the original protocol architecture at the air interface. The test
system consists conceptually of a lower tester LT, the L3 test programme (executable test suite), a L2
radio link emulator, a management functional unit, the L1 service provider and a TRx set (see figure 1).

The LT provides the test environment and for test execution and the means of control and observation at
the L3 lower service boundary within the test system.
The L3 TTCN test specification uses the three LT interfaces to communicate with the MS, the system
under test, and with the other parts of the test system:
- Interface to the L2 emulator via the PCO;
- Interface to the management functional unit via TTCN test suite operations;
- Interface to the MS Man-Machine Interface (MMI) via a test operator.
6.2 Test Method
The PCO in the LT is defined as L2 SAP (SAP 0 + 3). The PCO has two FIFO queues (data buffers) to
store all sending and receiving test events. The L2 primitives in the ATS which constitute mainly the
interface to the L2 emulator are specified via the L2 primitives. In order to simulate multicell testing as
required in some test cases, the defined primitives are able to address individual cells of the test system
and the logic channels of each cell for the L3 message exchanges. The L2 emulator together with the
underlying L1 and the TRx set support all message exchanges via correct radio links.
The management function unit has three management functions:
• L2 and L1 management;
• Channel management;
• TRx management;
The interface to the management function unit is presented in the ATS via a set of test suite operations.
The major functions of the test suite management operations are:
• To load configuration parameters necessary for the test system.
• To control and get the necessary values of radio resources/ channels for tests.
The SUT (MS) has a more or less standardized MMI, such as keys, digital display, tones, etc. The ATS
uses such kind of functions to provoke some procedures or to observe simple results at the SUT side. A
human operator is needed during the test. The test system shall have an interface to the human operator
to enable the test co-ordination.

Annex A (normative): Layer 3 Abstract Test Suite
This ATS has been produced using the Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN) according to
ISO/IEC 9646-3 [3].
The ATS was developed on a separate TTCN software tool and therefore the TTCN tables are not
completely referenced in the contents table. The ATS itself contains a test suite overview part which
provides additional information and references.
A.1 The TTCN Graphical form (TTCN.GR)
The TTCN.GR representation of this ATS for Layer 3 is contained in an Adobe Portable Document
Format™ file (l3-4o0.PDF, contained in archive 6073_ea.ZIP) (Layer 3) which accompanies this ETS
(Part 3).
A.2 The TTCN Machine Processable form (TTCN.MP)
The TTCN.MP representation corresponding to this ATS for Layer 3 is contained in an ASCII file
(l3-4o0.mp, contained in archive 6073_ea.ZIP) (Layer 3) which accompanies this ETS (Part 3).
NOTE: According to ISO/IEC 9646-3 [3], in case of a conflict in interpretation of the
operational semantics of TTCN.GR and TTCN.MP, the operational semantics of the
TTCN.GR representation takes precedence.

Annex B (normative): Partial IXIT proforma
Notwithstanding the provisions of the copyright clause related to the text of this ETS, ETSI grants that
users of this ETS may freely reproduce the PIXIT proforma in this annex so that it can be used for its
intended purposes and may further publish the completed PIXIT.
Introduction
This partial IXIT proforma contained in this ETS, after augmented by the Test Realizer, is proposed to be
provided to the client for completion, when the related Abstract Test Suite is to be used against client's
Implementation Under Test (IUT).
Text in italics is comments for guidance for the production of a IXIT, and is not to be included in the actual
IXIT.
The completed IXIT will normally be used in conjunction with the completed ICS, as it adds precision to
the information provided by the ICS.
