Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Broadband Radio Access
Networks (BRAN).
The present document was developed on the basis of the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) specification for HiperMAN
systems that was in the advanced stage of development when the work was reoriented to produce joint
HiperMAN/WiMAX specifications.
The present document is part 3 of a multi-part deliverable covering Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN);
HiperMAN; Conformance Testing for WiMAX/HiperMAN 1.2.1, as identified below:
Part 1: "Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma";
Part 2: "Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP)";
Part 3: "Abstract Test Suite (ATS)".

1 Scope
The present document contains the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) to test BRAN HiperMAN1.2.1/WiMAX systems for
conformance.
The objective of the present document is to provide a basis for conformance tests for BRAN HiperMAN/WiMAX
equipment giving a high probability of air interface inter-operability between different manufacturer's BRAN
HiperMAN/WiMAX equipment.
The ISO standard for the methodology of conformance testing (ISO/IEC 9646-1 [5] and ISO/IEC 9646-2 [6]) as well as
the ETSI rules for conformance testing (ETS 300 406 [4]) are used as a basis for the test methodology.
Annex A provides the Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN) part of the ATS.
Annex B provides the Partial Protocol Implementation Extra Information for Testing (PIXIT) Proforma of the SS side
ATS.
Annex C provides the Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR) Proforma of the SS side ATS.
