1 Scope
The present document contains the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) for GeoNetworking ITS-G5 as defined in
ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [1] in compliance with the relevant requirements and in accordance with the relevant guidance
given in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [i.6].
The objective of the present document is to provide a basis for conformance tests for GeoNetworking ITS-G5
equipment giving a high probability of interoperability between different manufacturers' equipment.
The ISO standard for the methodology of conformance testing (ISO/IEC 9646-1 [i.3] and ISO/IEC 9646-2 [i.4]) as well
as the ETSI rules for conformance testing (ETSI ETS 300 406 [i.7]) are used as a basis for the test methodology.

4.2 Test Configuration
4.2.1 Test Configuration Overview
This clause introduces the test configurations that have been used for the definition of test purposes. The test
configurations cover the various scenarios of the GeoNetworking tests. The test configurations show:
• green ItsNode: ItsNode is in the communication range of the IUT.
• red ItsNode: ItsNode is not in the communication range of the IUT.
• dashed rectangle: definition of a specific geographical area (see note).
NOTE: A geographical area is defined in the GeoBroadcast or GeoAnycast packet by HST field of Common
Header and GeoAreaPos Latitude, GeoAreaPos Longitude, DistanceA, DistanceB and Angle fields of the
Extended Header.
Seven test configurations are defined below.

4.3 Test architecture
The present document implements the general TTCN-3 test architecture described in ETSI EG 202 798 [i.9],
clause 6.3.2 and clause 8.3.1.
Figure 9 shows the TTCN-3 test architecture used for the GeoNetworking ATS. In single-component testcases
(configuration CF01), the MTC is of type ItsNt and communicates with SUT over geoNetworkingPort. In
multi-component testcases (configuration CF02, CF03 and CF04), the MTC is of type ItsMtc and is used to synchronize
the different PTCs. The PTCs are implemented using ItsNt components and communicate with SUT over
geoNetworkingPort. GeoNetworkingPort is used to exchange GeoNetworking protocol messages between the
GeoNetworking test components and the GeoNetworking IUT.
The Upper tester entity in the SUT enables triggering GeoNetworking functionalities by simulating primitives from
application or LDM entities. It is required to trigger the GeoNetworking layer in the SUT to send GeoNetworking
messages, which are resulting from upper layer primitives. Furthermore, receiving GeoNetworking messages may result
for the GeoNetworking layer in sending primitives to the upper layer.

Figure 9: Test system architecture
In multi-component testcases, each PTC maps the geoNetworkingPort. In this case, the geoNetworkingPort is connected
in a one-to-many manner, as described in ETSI ES 201 873-1 [i.8], clause 9.1 and figure 6h.
For each PTC mapping the geoNetworkingPort, the test adapter shall assign a different MAC layer address which is
used for all send operations of this PTC. In addition, the test adapter shall follow the rules below when receiving
GeoNetworking packets:
• If the lower layer headers indicate a broadcasted message, then enqueue the GeoNetworking packet on all
PTCs.
• Otherwise, use the lower layer destination MAC address to determine on which PTC the GeoNetworking
packet shall be enqueued.
4.4 Ports and ASPs (Abstract Services Primitives)
4.4.1 Introduction
Two ports are used by the GeoNetworking ATS:
• The geoNetworkingPort, of type GeoNetworkingPort.
• The utPort of type UpperTesterPort.

4.4.2 Primitives of the geoNetworkingPort
Two types of primitives are used in the geoNetworkingPort:
• The geoNetworkingInd primitive used to receive messages of type GeoNetworkingPacket.
• The geoNetworkingReq primitive used to send messages of type GeoNetworkingPacket.
4.4.3 Primitives of the utPort
This port uses two types of primitives:
• The UtInitia
