Protocol Test Requirement
Conformance test that is specified in 3GPP
specification 34.123. Except that most handset
manufacturers perform more tests using the
Network Simulators. Then they have to perform
IOT (Inter Operability test), Live air testing,
Field Testing and KPI (Key Performance Index)
testing, etc.
There are many different types of Conformance
tests that the handset should be able to pass.
Generally the handset has to pass 95 of the
tests to be GCF certified. The following are the
main categories of Conformance RF conformance
- This is based on 3GPP specifications 34.121.
Recently due to its size, it has been
split into 34.121-1 and 34.121-2. Protocol
conformance - This is based on 3GPP
specifications 34.123. It is split into
34.123-1, 34.123-2 and 34.123-3 for 3G
and TS 51.010 for GSM/GPRS/EDGE devices. GCF
Certification is only done for Protocol
Conformance tests based on 34.123. These tests
are written in TTCN and are contained in 3GPP TS
34.123-3 drafted by ETSI on behalf of 3GPP. They
are debugged and verified by individual SS
vendors on their platforms prior to submission
for 3GPP TSG-T1 approval. Once approved by 3GPP
test cases are validated by an independent test
house and submitted for approval by the GCF.
USIM conformance - This is based on 3GPP
specifications 31.122. USIM functional test -
(TS 31.121) Identification, PIN, account
charging, network priority, phonebook UICC test
(SIM electrical test)- (TS 102.230) Power on/off,
1.8v/3v detection, presence Detection
bit/character transmitting duration, command
processing and error handling, Acoustic
conformance- (TS 26.132) Loudness rating, idle
noise, echo
