1 Scope
The present document contains the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) to test the BRAN HIPERLAN Type 2; Data Link Control
(DLC) protocol; Part 1: Basic data transport functions [1].
The objective of the present document is to provide a basis for conformance tests for HIPERLAN Type 2 equipment
giving a high probability of air interface inter-operability between different manufacturers' HIPERLAN Type 2
equipment.
The ISO standard for the methodology of conformance testing (ISO/IEC 9646-1 [3] and ISO/IEC 9646-2 [4]) as well as
the ETSI rules for conformance testing (ETS 300 406 [2]) 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 MT side
ATS.
Annex C provides the Partial Protocol Implementation Extra Information for Testing (PIXIT) Proforma of the AP side
ATS.
Annex D provides the Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR) Proforma of the MT side ATS.
Annex E provides the Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR) Proforma of the AP side ATS.

Figure 1: Test architecture for Error Control (RLC needed for association, etc.)
A single-party testing concept is used, which consists of the following abstract testing functions:
Lower Tester: A Lower Tester (LT) is located in the remote BRAN H/2 test system. It controls and observes the
behaviour of the IUT.
ARQ ATS: An ARQ Abstract Test Suite (ATS) is located in the remote BRAN H/2 test system.
ARQ PCO: The Point of Control and Observation (PCO) for ARQ testing is located at a SAP between the
Error Control layer and the MAC layer. All test events at the PCO are specified in terms of
Abstract Testing Service Primitives defined in Clause 7 and containing complete PDU. To avoid
the complexity of data fragmentation and recombination testing, the SAP is defined below these
functions.
RCP PCO: The Point of Control and Observation (PCO) for RLC testing is located at a SAP between the RLC
layer and the MAC layer. All test events at the PCO are specified in terms of Abstract Testing
Service Primitives defined in Clause 7 and containing complete PDU. To avoid the complexity of
data fragmentation and recombination testing, the SAP is defined below these functions.
Notional UT: No explicit upper tester (UT) exists in the system under test. Nevertheless, some specific actions to
cover implicit send events and to obtain feedback information are necessary for the need of the test
procedures. A black box covering these requirements is used in the SUT as a notional UT as
defined in ISO 9646 ([3] to [7]). This notional UT is part of the test system.

Message Handler: Evaluate or generate CRC; Indicate erroneous PDU; Control read and write to or from
buffer handler; Add or Evaluate Sequence Number; Transmit or Receive PDU to or from
MAC and Convergence Layers controlled by the Control Entity.
Buffer Handler: Provide management of receive and transmit buffer.
Convergence Layer: Provide traffic generation and absorption capabilities.
Control Entity: Transmission: Handle the transmit window on a basis of sequence number; Evaluate ARQ
feedback messages (integrity check); Initiate re-transmission; Release correctly received
message from buffer; Handle errors (e.g. Initiation of Reset).
Reception: Handle the receive window including the knowledge of the buffer status;
Generate ARQ feedback messages; Trigger the message handler to pass correct in-sequence
PDU to the Convergence layer and to release buffer from the buffer handler; Handle errors
(e.g. Discarding).

The handover configuration is used when the MT has to interact with two APs. In that case, the two simulated APs are
configurable to be either a multi-sector AP or two separate APs. The concurrent TTCN facilities are used in this
configuration.

The direct mode configuration is used for direct mode testing. The test system simulates one AP and one MT. The AP
part of the test system is used to initialize the direct mode with the tested MT. The MT part of the system is used to
verify the communication of the tested MT when the direct mode is active. The concurrent TTCN facilities are used in
this configuration.
