(Amendment)Intelligent transport systems - ESafety - ECall end to end conformance testing for IMS packet switched based systems
Intelligent transport systems - ESafety - ECall end to end conformance testing for IMS packet switched based systems
This document defines the key actors in the eCall chain of service provision using IMS over packet switched networks (such as LTE/4G) as:
1) In-vehicle system (3.20) (IVS)/vehicle,
2) Mobile network Operator (MNO),
3) Public safety answering point (3.27) (PSAP),
and to provide conformance tests for actor groups 1) - 3).
NOTE 1 Conformance tests are not appropriate nor required for vehicle occupants (3.36), although they are the recipient of the service.
NOTE 2 Third party eCall systems (TPS eCall) are not within the scope of this deliverable. This is because the core TPS-eCall (3.32) standard (EN 16102) does not specify the communications link between the vehicle and the TPS service provider (3.29).
NOTE 3 These conformance tests are based an the appropriate conformance tests from EN 16454 which was published before Internet Protocol multimedia Systems (IMS) packet switched networks were available. This deliverable therefore replicates the appropriate tests from EN 16454 (and acknowledge their source); adapt and revise Conformance Test Protocols (CTP) from EN 16454 to an IMS paradigm; or provide new additional tests that are required for the IMS paradigm. Some 14 112-eCall (Pan European eCall) tests provided in EN 16454 are specific to GSM/UMTS circuit switched communications and not appropriate for the IMS paradigm and are therefore excluded from this deliverable.
This document therefore provides a suite of ALL conformance tests for IVS equipment, MNO's, and PSAPS, required to ensure and demonstrate compliance to CEN/TS 17184.
NOTE 4 Because in the event of non-viability or non-existence of an IMS supporting network at any particular time/location, IMS-eCall systems revert to CS networked eCall systems eCall via GSM/UMTS, IVS and PSAPs need to support, and prove compliance to both IMS and CS switched networks.
The Scope covers conformance testing (and approval) of new engineering developments, products and systems, and does not imply testing associated with individual installations in vehicles or locations.

138 523 and ETSI TS 134 229 - IVS"
In Table 10, after the 7th row (Initial conditions), insert the following new row:
“
Test applicability Only the applicable tests shall be executed, based on the supported features
or technologies of the IVS and the applicability conditions as specified in the
Part 2 documents of the referred documents. All other tests shall be indicated
as not applicable.
NOTE 1: The applicability conditions for the tests in ETSI TS 134 229-1 and
ETSI TS 134 229-5 are defined in ETSI TS 134 229-2; the applicability
conditions for the tests in ETSI TS 136 523-1 are defined in ETSI TS 136 523-
2; and the applicability conditions for ETSI TS 138 523-1 are defined in ETSI
TS 138 523-2.
NOTE 2: A test is applicable only if the IVS supports the conditions for the
test in ETSI TS 134 229-1 or ETSI TS 134 229-5, supports eCall over GERAN
or UTRAN if part of the test and does not support any requirement in EN
17184:2024 that conflicts with the test. A conflict may occur due to
differences between certain requirements in EN 17184:2024 and certain
requirements in ETSI 124 229 for eCall over IMS.

In Table 10, 9 row (previously 8 ), under column ‘Tester action’, replace: “Perform tests at the system
level…” with “Perform applicable tests at the system level…”.
th th
In Table 10, 9 row (previously 8 ), under column ‘Tester action’, replace “ETSI TS 134 229-1 V17.7.0
(2024-07)” with “ETSI TS 134 229-1 V17.1.0 (2024-07)”.
In the NOTE after Table 10, add the following text before “ETSI TS 136 523-1”:
