MS Radio Access Capability Attributes


The MS Radio Access Capability Information Element is used in UMTS and GPRS networks to inform the radio network of the capabilities of the MN. Although these settings do not affect test operations from the MN's perspective, a SUT may treat an MN differently depending on its reported capabilities. The settings available depend on the GPRS release selected.

This topic describes the configurable attributes for the information element. The topics listed under Related Parameters describe additional protocol settings, and Locations lists all of the test cases that support these settings with a path to their location.

Multislot Class Capability

The following attributes define the MN's class support.

DTM GPRS Multislot Class

If DTM GPRS High Multislot Class is set to Class 31/36 or 41, class 9 is required. For classes 32/37, 33/38, or 42-44, class 11 is required.

Options:

Default: Unused

Tcl Parameter: GmmRaDtmGprsMs

Extended DTM GPRS Multislot Class

Indicates that the MN supports combined full-rate and half-rate GPRS channels in the downlink. When this attribute is not used, the MN supports the multislot class defined by DTM GPRS Multislot Class. When it is used, Class 10 is required if DTM GPRS High Multislot Class is set to Class 31/36 or 41, and Class 11 is required if Classes 32/37, 33/38 or 42-44 are selected.

Range: 03

Default: 0

Tcl Parameter: GmmRaExtDtmGprsMs

DTM EGPRS Multislot Class

If DTM EGPRS High Multislot Class is set to Class 31/36 or 41, class 9 is required. For classes 32/37, 33/38, or 42-44, class 11 is required.

Options:

Default: Unused

Tcl Parameter: GmmRaDtmEgprsMs

Extended DTM EGPRS Multislot Class

Indicates that the MN supports combined full-rate and half-rate GPRS channels in the downlink when EGPRS Multislot Class is defined. When this attribute is not used, the MN supports the multislot class defined by DTM EGPRS Multislot Class. When it is used, Class 10 is required if DTM GPRS High Multislot Class is set to Class 31-36 or 41, and Class 11 is required if Classes 32/37, 33/38 or 42-44 are selected.

Range: 03

Default: 0

Tcl Parameter: GmmRaExtDtmEgprsMs

HSCSD Multislot Class

The HSCSD multislot class supported by the MN.

Range: 031

Default: 0

Tcl Parameter: GmmRaHscsdMs

ECSD Multislot Class

The ECSD multislot class supported by the MN.

Range: 031

Default: 0

Tcl Parameter: GmmRaEcsdMs

GPRS Multislot Class

The GPRS multislot class supported by the MN.

Range: 031

Default: 0

Tcl Parameter: GmmRaGprsMs

EGPRS Multislot Class

The EGPRS multislot class supported by the MN.

Range: 015

Default: 0

Tcl Parameter: GmmRaEgprsMs

High Multislot Capability

This attribute is combined with the GPRS and EGPRS multislot classes to extend the class values to 30— 45 using the mapping shown in the table below. If any other combination is used, the class value is not extended.
