Approved at 3GPP TSG RAN#38 - Cancun, 27-30 Nov 2007
Within the scope of TSG-RAN, RAN WG5 is responsible for the development of UE conformance test specifications dealing with UTRA, Evolved UTRA, and beyond. Specifically RAN WG5 is responsible for:
· RF conformance tests for FDD and TDD in coordination with the other relevant RAN working groups.
· RRM conformance tests for FDD and TDD in coordination with the other relevant RAN working groups.
· UTRA, evolved UTRA and beyond, IMS and NAS Protocol tests in coordination with the other relevant RAN and CT working groups respectively
· Tests to cover Inter RAT procedures (UTRA, evolved UTRA and beyond to GERAN) in coordination with GERAN WG3
· The formal description (prose) of protocol test cases using TTCN in coordination with MCC TF 160
· Providing guidance to MCC TF 160 on its work priorities based on the anticipated needs of the wider test industry
· For the delivery of UE conformance test specifications to meet the needs of the UTRA, evolved UTRA and beyond related test industry in so far as resources allow. Therefore RAN5 will need to liaise directly with the relevant industry fora in order to determine its priorities and overall work plan.
Not withstanding the ToR of the other RAN working groups, RAN5 may propose UE conformance tests to reflect emerging requirements within the test industry. Any such proposal shall be processed through the relevant RAN working group(s).
