1 Background
In C.S0087-A v 3.0, the feature of enhanced idle reselection from eHRPD to E-UTRAN based on
reselection class and probability test has been included, the related test cases with this feature
shall also be included in the C.S0095.

2 Proposed Text
The proposed test case 1 is described below.
2.5.x Enhanced Non-optimized Dormant eHRPD to Idle E-UTRAN System Reselection-Bitmap
Mode without execution of probability test
2.5.x.1 Definition
This test case verifies the Bitmap Mode-based enhanced idle reselection procedure defined in
[2]. The eAT is also required to perform priority based system reselection procedure by
complying with the algorithm for system reselection as defined in [2].

2.5.x.3 Test Procedure

a. Connect the eAT as shown in Error: Reference source not found. Note that only one
eHRPD RAN and one E-UTRAN RAN is needed.
1. RAN1 is eHRPD

2. RAN3 is E-UTRAN
b. Ensure there is no E-UTRAN available.
c. The eAT should have a previously established session on RAN1. The eAT has negotiated
a value of 0x03 for the ReselectionClass attribute with eHRPD RAN.
d. Ensure the eAT is Idle with no PPP session on RAN1.
e. Set up a mobile originated data call on RAN1. Ensure that the mobile is in Connected
State and the PPP session is active.
f.

Ensure the eAT to transition to the dormant PPP state and air interface Idle State.

g. Set the ServingPriority field in eHRPD's OtherRATNeighborList message to ensure the

E-UTRA frequency channel on RAN3 has higher priority than eHRPD channel on RAN1.
Set the ReselectionClassParamsIncl field to 0x011. Set the ReselectionClassFormat
field to 0x000 and set the ReselectionClassBitmap field to 0x08 (00001000). Set the
ReselectionProbabilityIncl field to 0x000. Ensure the eAT can acquire all the above
information from OtherRATNeighborList message.
h. Adjust the RF on RAN3 so that its signal strength is good enough to be acquired by the
eAT and wait 60 seconds.
i.

Verify the eAT acquires RAN3.

j.

Verify the eAT attaches to the E-UTRAN network.

k. Initiate a mobile originated data call on the E-UTRAN network.

l.

Verify the IP continuity is maintained after switching from eHRPD to E-UTRAN.

m. Verify the call is successful and the eAT can send/receive data using the E-UTRAN
network.
n. Adjust the RF on RAN3 so that RAN3 is not available by the eAT.
o. Verify the eAT acquires RAN1. Ensure the eAT is Idle with no PPP session on RAN1.
p. Change the ReselectionClassBitmap field to 0xF7 (11110111). Ensure the eAT can
acquire all the above information from OtherRATNeighborList message.
q. Adjust the RF on RAN3 so that its signal strength is good enough to be acquired by the
eAT and wait 60 seconds.
r.

Verify the eAT still stays in RAN1.

s. Initiate a mobile originated data call on the eHRPD network.

t.

Verify the call is successful and the eAT can send/receive data using the eHRPD
network.

2.5.x.4 Minimum Standard

The eAT shall comply with steps c, g, i, j, l, m, p, r and t.
