Editor’s notes: This test case is incomplete. The following items are missing or incomplete:
– The parameter “A3-Offset” value of -16 needs to be updated in core specification since it is out of the signalling range.
– Test tolerances, Test system uncertainties and test requirement values
8.1.38.1 Test purpose
To verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps for CE UE in CEModeB.
8.1.38.2 Test applicability
This test applies to all types of E-UTRA HD-FDD UE release 13 and forward with supports CEModeB and intra-frequency SI acquisition for HO.
8.1.38.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The requirements defined in TS 36.133[4] subclause 8.13.3.1.5 apply provided the following condition is met:
– Tx diversity or transmission using multiple antennas are supported in the target cell to be detected.
– Repetitions of MIB/SIB1-BR are supported in the target cell to be detected.
No explicit neighbour list is provided to the UE for identifying a new CGI of E-UTRA cell. The UE shall identify and report the CGI when requested by the network for the purpose ‘reportCGI’. The UE may make autonomous gaps in downlink reception and uplink transmission for receiving MIB and SIB1bis message according to clause 5.5.3.1 of TS 36.331 [2]. Note that a UE is not required to use autonomous gap if si-RequestForHO is set to false. If autonomous gaps are used for measurement with the purpose of ‘reportCGI’, regardless of whether DRX or eDRX_CONN is used or not, or whether SCell(s) are configured or not, the UE shall be able to identify a new CGI of E-UTRA cell within:
Where
Tbasic_identify_CGI_Cat M1, intra = 5120 ms. This is the time period used in the above equation where the maximum allowed time for the UE to identify a new CGI of an E-UTRA cell is defined, provided that the E-UTRA cell has been already identified by the UE.
A cell shall be considered identifiable following conditions are fulfilled:
– RSRP related side conditions given in Clause 9.1 are fulfilled for a corresponding Band,
– SCH_RP and SCH Ês/Iot according to Annex I.2.14 for a corresponding Band
The MIB of an E-UTRA cell whose CGI is identified shall be considered decodable by the UE provided the PBCH demodulation requirements are met according to [5].
The requirement for identifying a new CGI of an E-UTRA cell within Tbasic_identify_CGI_Cat M1,.intra is applicable when no DRX is used as well as when any of DRX and eDRX_CONN cycles specified in TS 36.331 [2] is used.
Within the time, , over which the UE identifies the new CGI of E-UTRA cell, the PBCH repetition and SIB1-BR repetition level in the target cell shall be as specified in Table 8.1.38.3-1.

The ECGI reporting delay occurs due to the delay uncertainty when inserting the ECGI measurement report to the TTI of the uplink DCCH. The delay uncertainty is twice the TTI of the uplink DCCH. In case DRX is used, the ECGI reporting may be delayed until the next DRX cycle. In case eDRX_CONN is used, the ECGI reporting may be delayed until the next eDRX_CONN cycle. If IDC autonomous denial is configured, an additional delay can be expected.
The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.133 [4] clause 8.13.3.1.5 and A.8.1.38.

8.1.38.4.2 Test procedure
The test comprises of one active cell and one neighbour cell. PDCCHs indicating new transmissions shall be sent continuously to ensure that the UE would have ACK/NACK sending during identifying a new CGI of E-UTRAN cell. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report.
A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the UE.
1. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF-CE with the condition CEModeB according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 7.2A.3AA.
2. Set the parameters according to T1 in Table 8.1.38.5-1. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B clauses B.1.1. T1 starts.
3. SS shall transmit an RRCConnectionReconfiguration with event A3 configured message.
4. The UE shall transmit RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message.
5. When T1 expires, the SS shall switch the power setting from T1 to T2 as specified in Table 8.1.38.5-1.
6. UE shall transmit a MeasurementReport message triggered by Event A3.
7. After the SS receives the MeasurementReport message in step 6), without waiting for T2 to expire SS shall transmit an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message during period T2, The RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to TRUE.
8. The SS shall start T3 timer when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to UE.
9. The UE shall transmit RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message.
10. UE shall transmit a MeasurementReport message containing the cell global identifier of cell 2 within 5137 milliseconds from the start of T3. If the overall delays measured from the beginning of time period T3 is less than 5137 ms, then the number of successful tests is increased by one. If the UE fails to report the cell global identifier within the overall delays measured requirement, then the number of failure tests is increased by one.
11. After the SS receive the MeasurementReport message in step 10) or when T3 expires, the SS shall transmit RRCConnectionRelease message to release the RRC connection which includes the release of the established radio bearers as well as all radio resources.
12. Set Cell 2 physical cell identity = ((current cell 2 physical cell identity + 1) mod 14 + 2) for next iteration of the test procedure loop.
13. After the RRC connection release, the SS:
– transmits in Cell 1 a Paging message (including PagingRecord with UE-Identity) for the UE and ensures the UE is in State 3A according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.5.3A (if the paging fails, switches off and on the UE and ensures the UE is in State 3A-RF-CE with the condition CEModeB according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 7.2A.3AA),
or
– switches off and on the UE and ensures the UE is in State 3A-RF-CE with the condition CEModeB according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 7.2A.3AA.
14. Repeat step 2-13 until the confidence level according to Tables G.2.3-1 in Annex G clause G.2 is achieved.
