this message includes:
a) Global iCell ID
b) Supported TAs, including TAC,PLMN identity
c) Default Paging DRX
2. After MME received the message above, it replies S1 SETUP RESPONSE message
which includes:
a) Served GUMMEIs
b) b. Relative MME Capacity

Item Ping Test
Reference 3GPP TS 36.412/36.331
Test Condition 1.UE is attached and in ECM-CONNECTED state
2. FTP service works correctly.
Test Procedure UE ping test:
1. ping 64byte packet for 10 minutes
2. ping 300byte packet for 10 minutes
3. ping 1024byte packet for 10 minutes
4. ping 1800byte packet for 10 minutes
Expected Results 1. UE can ping normally
2. UE is in EMM-REGISTERED and ECM-CONNECTED state
4.2 FTP Upload/Download Service
Item FTP upload/download Service
Reference 3GPP TS 36.412/36.331
Test Condition 1. UE is attached and in ECM-CONNECTED state
2. FTP service works correctly
Test Procedure UE keeps FTP uploading /downloading for long term
Expected Result 1. UE can normally upload and download.
2. UE is in EMM-REGISTERED state and ECM-CONNECTED
state
5 Handover between iCell and Macro based on X2 interface
Item Handover between iCell and Macro based on X2 interface
Title Date Doc. No Checked by Page
TDD LTE iCell IoT Test Item 21-03-2015 Comba 22 / 27
22
Test Condition
1. iCell under test works correctly
2. iCell synchronize with Macro Cell and configure neighboring Cell relation,
handover threshold and so on parameters with Macro Cell
3. iCell connect to Macro Cell with X2 interface and configure X2 related
parameters.
Test Procedure
1. UE registers in Cell A covered by iCell and makes ftp service.
2. UE moves from the Cell A to neighboring Macro Cell B until handover occurs.
3. Handover finishes and check UE ftp service status
4. UE returns from Macro Cell B to Cell A until handover occurs.
5. Handover finishes and check UE ftp service status
Expected Result:
1. The two times handover succeed and data service works correctly during
handover.
2. The handover process viewed by UE monitor software is correct and the
handover is triggered based on the configured threshold.
3. X2-AP related handover signaling caught from network works correctly.
Comments
1. It requires to configure X2 interface between Macro Cell and X2
2. Neighboring Cell relation and related parameters should be configured both in
iCell and Macro Cell. It requires macro cell configuration.

23
Test Condition:
1. There is TDD LTE Macro cell near the iCell under the test.
2. iCell under the test chooses air synchronization mode.
3. Neighboring Macro Cell has configured neighboring cell relation with iCell under
the test
Test Procedure
1. Turn on iCell and check iCell synchronization status.
2. UE is attached to iCell and then handover with neighboring cell.
Expected Result
1. Air synchronization succeed in iCell
2. iCell automatically self-configure nearby Macro cell as its neighbor cell.
3. Handover process viewed by UE monitor software is correct and data service
works normally during handover.
Comments
1. There is TDD LTE Macro cell near the iCell under the test.
2. Neighboring Macro Cell has configured neighboring cell relation with iCell under
the test
