1.1 Feature ID and name
ZWF21-01-003 Paging
1.2 Test purpose
The purpose of this test case is to verify if the procedure of paging an Idle mode MS in CS domain
is normal.

1.3 Functional description
When there are service demands in CN, the system will trigger the UE to set up the connection
between the UE and the CN through its paging function. For example, the UE needs to receive the
Short Message Service (SMS) or Multimedia Message Service (MMS), or other user calls the UE.
The CN sends paging message through the Iu interface to the RNC. The RNC selects an area
according to the RRC connections status of the UE and sends paging message to the UE.
When UE is in IDLE status
RNC cannot obtain information in the specific location of UE. Therefore, RNC sends
paging message within the LA or RA according to the LA/RA information carried in the
paging message of CN.
When UE is in PCH status
ZTE RAN supports the URA_PCH/CELL_PCH status. And RAN knows the location
information of UE in the URA and sends paging messages within the whole URA(for
URA_PCH) or sends paging messages within the cell(for CELL_PCH).
When UE is in FACH or DCH status
RNC knows the location information of UE in the cell level and sends paging messages
to the cell.

ZTE RAN allows RNC to initiate paging on the following special occasions:
When there are data packets in the downlink buffer, RNC sends paging message to trigger
the UE status change from URA_PCH/CELL_PCH to CELL_FACH and set up the service
bearer for the downlink data transmission.
After the system information changes, RNC sends the paging message to notify all UEs in
Idle or PCH status of a cell.
When it is necessary to suspend the RRC connection of a UE in the PCH status, RNC
sends a paging message to release the RRC connection of UE.
ZTE RAN supports two paging modes: PAGING TYPE 1 and PAGING TYPE 2:
For the UE in the IDLE, URA_PCH/CELL_PCH, or CELL_PCH status, paging message of
PAGING TYPE 1 is sent.
For the UE in the CELL_FACH, or the CELL_DCH status, paging message of PAGING
TYPE 2 is sent.
Common transport channel PCH is used to transmit PAGING TYPE 1 messages. For avoiding block
of voice calls during congestion of PCH caused by huge PAGING TYPE 1 messages, ZTE RAN
supports prior transmission of CS paging message than that of PS paging message.

1.5.4 RNC
For saving power, the UE in the Idle or PCH state monitors the PICH channel in the Discontinuous
Reception (DRX) mode. In the DRX mode, the UE monitors the page indicator (PI) once every
DRX period.
In the OMCR, you can configure three DRX cycle length coefficients: UTRAN DRX Cycle Length
Coefficient. CS Domain DRX Cycle Length Coefficient and PS Domain DRX Cycle Length
Coefficient.

The UE judges whether the network is paging itself by monitoring its own PI. Each PICH frame can
contain the PI of multiple UEs. The table shows the relations between the parameter the number of
PIs included in a PICH frame and the transmit power.

1.6 Steps for test
1. UE1 camps on cell 1 in idle mode. UE2 makes a voice call to UE1. Capture the Iu interface
signaling. The Paging message from CS CN to RNC is showed below:
.
The Paging message includes the CN domain indicator (CS), the permanent NAS UE identity
(IMSI) or the temporary UE identity (TMSI), the paging area (LAC) and the paging cause.
2. RNC sends paging message on PCH channel in the paging area.
3. UE1 responses to this paging message. The voice call is established successfully. The procedure
is general AMR speech. The signaling procedure can be found in document ZWF21-02-001 CS
Conversational RAB for AMR Speech.
4. Release the AMR voice call.

1.7 Expected results
The paging message is successfully sent by CN to RNC. Then RNC sends it on PCH channel in
the paging area. After UE1 responses to this paging message, the AMR voice call is established
successfully.
