4 Conformance to this PICS Proforma Specification
If it claims to conform to the present document, the actual PICS proforma to be filled in by a supplier shall be
technically equivalent to the text of the PICS proforma given in annex A, and shall preserve the numbering, naming,
and ordering of the proforma items.
A PICS which conforms to the present document shall be a conforming PICS proforma completed in accordance with
the guidance for completion given in clause A.1.

Annex A (normative):
Protocol ICS (PICS) for HiperMAN/WiMAX
Notwithstanding the provisions of the copyright clause related to the text of the present document, ETSI grants that
users of the present document may freely reproduce the PICS proforma in this annex so that it can be used for its
intended purposes and may further publish the completed PICS.
A.1 Guidance for completing PICS Proforma
A.1.1 Purposes and Structure
The purpose of this PICS proforma is to provide a mechanism whereby a supplier of an implementation of the
requirements defined in TS 102 177 [1] and TS 102 178 [2] (which mandates requirements defined in
IEEE 802.16-2004 [4]) may provide information about the implementation in a standardized manner. The PICS
proforma does not cover every possible compliant HiperMAN/WiMAX implementation, but only those
implementations that are compliant with the system profiles as defined in TS 102 210 [3].
The PICS proforma is subdivided into clauses for the following categories of information:
• guidance for completing the PICS proforma;
• identification and implementation;
• identification of the standard;
• global statement of conformance;
• roles;
• Subscriber Station (SS);
• Base Station (BS).
A.1.2 Abbreviations and Conventions
Item column
• The Item column contains a number which identifies the item in the table.
Capability column
• The capability column describes in free text each respective item (e.g. parameters, timers, etc.). It implicitly
means "Is supported by the implementation?".
Reference column
• The reference column indicates the section of TS 102 177 [1], TS 102 178 [2], IEEE 802.16-2004 [4] from
which the requirement for the capability is derived. A reference to [4] is to be understood as a reference to
IEEE 802.16-2004 [4] as corrected by Corrigendum 1 of IEEE 802.16e-2005 [5].
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
11 ETSI TS 102 385-1 V2.5.1 (2008-12)
Status column
• The following notations, defined in [6], are used in the status column.
m Mandatory - the capability is required to be supported.
o Optional - the capability may be supported or not.
n/a Not applicable - in the given context, it is impossible to use the capability.
x Prohibited (excluded) - there is a requirement not to use this capability in the given context.
o.i Qualified option - for mutually exclusive or selectable options from a set. "i" is an integer
which identifies a group of related optional items and the logic of their selection which is
defined immediately following the table.
ci Conditional - the requirement on the capability ("m", "o", "x", or "n/a") depends on the support
of other optional or conditional items. "i" is an integer identifying a conditional status
expression which is defined immediately following the table.
i Irrelevant (out of scope) - capability outside the scope of the reference specification. No
answer is requested from the supplier.

Support column
• The support column shall be filled in by the supplier of the implementation. The following common notations,
defined in [6] are used for the support column.
Y or y Supported by implementation.
N or n Not supported by implementation.
N/A, n/a or - No answer required (allowed only if the status is n/a either directly or after the evaluation of a
conditional status).

If this PICS proforma is completed in order to describe a multiple profile implementation, it may be necessary to
answer that a capability is supported for one profile and not supported for another. In that case, the supplier shall enter a
unique reference to a conditional expression, preceded by "?" (e.g. ?3). This expression shall be given in the space
provided for comments at the bottom of the table. It uses the predicates defined in [6], each of which refers to a single
profile or a family of profiles and which takes the value TRUE if and only if that profile is to be used.
EXAMPLE: ?3: If profM1 then Y else N.
NOTE: As stated in [6], support for a received PDU requires the ability to parse all valid parameters of that PDU.
Supporting a PDU while having no ability to parse a valid parameter is non-conformant. Support for a
parameter on a PDU means that the semantics of that parameter are supported.
Values allowed column
• The values allowed column is only used when necessary in a table. It contains the type, the list, the range, or
the length of values allowed. The following notations are used.
Range of values: ...
