Introduction
The Basic Transport Protocol (BTP) provides an end-to-end, connection-less transport service in the ITS ad hoc
network. Its main purpose is the multiplexing of messages from different processes at the ITS facilities layer, e.g. CAM
and DENM from the cooperative awareness basic service and the distributed environmental notification basic service,
for the transmission of packets via the GeoNetworking protocol as well as the de-multiplexing at the destination. BTP
enables protocol entities at the ITS facilities layer to access services of the GeoNetworking protocol and to pass
protocol control information between the ITS facilities layer and the GeoNetworking protocol.
Message multiplexing/demultiplexing is based on ports, an ITS station-internal 16 bit address. A port represents a
communication endpoint that identifies the ITS station protocol entity at the source (source port) or the destination
(destination port). The usage of ports is similar to the two-stage packet transport in the IP protocol suite, where the IP
provides the routing of packets from source to destination and the transport protocol, such as UDP,
multiplexes/demultiplexes messages from/to application processes. In the case of BTP, the GeoNetworking protocol
transports the packets among the ITS stations and the BTP protocol delivers the packets to the entities at the ITS
facilities layer. BTP also adopts the concept of "well-known ports" from the IP protocol suite that assigns fixed ports to
specific ITS facilities layer protocols. The definition of the ports, however, is beyond the scope of the present
document.
BTP is a lightweight protocol: it has a 4-byte protocol header and requires minimal processing. It provides an unreliable
transport of packets, i.e. packets can arrive out-of-order, appear duplicated or can be lost. The design of BTP assumes
that entities using the protocol are either tolerant against the unreliable packet transport or provide appropriate
mechanisms for reliable communication in their protocols.

The present document specifies the Basic Transport Protocol (BTP) for the transport of packets among ITS stations. It
resides on top of the GeoNetworking protocol specified in ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [5] and below the ITS-S facilities
layer. It provides an end-to-end, connection-less and unreliable transport service.

BTP-PDU: PDU exchanged between BTP peer entities
destination: receiving BTP entity in the ITS station
destination port: port identifying the destination's protocol entity at the ITS facilities layer
NOTE: Facilities layer services that do not expect replies either do not include a source port number in the
header, or they set it to a default (usually 0) to indicate no reply port available. For session-based services
(client-server or peer-to-peer), the source port is often set to a value from an ephemeral (dynamically
assigned) subspace of the space of all port numbers.

port: ITS station-internal address that identifies a protocol entity at the ITS facilities layer and represents an endpoint of

4 Services provided by the Basic Transport Protocol
The Basic Transport Protocol (BTP) provides an end-to-end, connection-less transport service in the ITS ad hoc
network (ETSI EN 302 636-3 [4]). Similar to UDP (IETF RFC 768 [i.5]), it offers a minimal transport service, i.e. the
non-guaranteed delivery of BTP-PDUs among BTP entities. It also allows protocol entities at the ITS facilities layer to
directly access the services provided by the GeoNetworking protocol.
The BTP shall meet the requirements specified in ETSI EN 302 665 [1] and ETSI EN 302 636-1 [2] and support the use
cases defined in ETSI EN 302 636-2 [3].
The BTP provides services to ITS facilities layer protocol entities (figure 1), such as cooperative awareness basic
service (ETSI EN 302 637-2 [i.3]) and DEN basic service (ETSI EN 302 637-3 [i.4]). The services are provide

4 Services provided by the Basic Transport Protocol
The Basic Transport Protocol (BTP) provides an end-to-end, connection-less transport service in the ITS ad hoc
network (ETSI EN 302 636-3 [4]). Similar to UDP (IETF RFC 768 [i.5]), it offers a minimal transport service, i.e. the
non-guaranteed delivery of BTP-PDUs among BTP entities. It also allows protocol entities at the ITS facilities layer to
directly access the services provided by the GeoNetworking protocol.
The BTP shall meet the requirements specified in ETSI EN 302 665 [1] and ETSI EN 302 636-1 [2] and support the use
cases defined in ETSI EN 302 636-2 [3].
The BTP provides services to ITS facilities layer protocol entities (figure 1), such as cooperative awareness basic
service (ETSI EN 302 637-2 [i.3]) and DEN basic

ETSI ETSI EN 302 636-5-1 V2.2.1 (2019-05)5 Introduction The Basic Transport Protocol (BTP) provides an end-to-end, connection-less transport service in the ITS ad hoc network. Its main purpose is the multiplexing of messages from different processes at the ITS facilities layer, e.g. CAM and DENM from the cooperative awareness basic service and the distributed environmental notification basic service, for the transmission of packets via the GeoNetworking protocol as well as the de-multiplexing at the destination. BTP enables protocol entities at the ITS facilities layer to access services of the GeoNetworking protocol and to pass protocol control information between the ITS facilities layer and the GeoNetworking protocol. Message multiplexing/demultiplexing is based on ports, an ITS station-internal 16 bit address. A port represents a communication endpoint that identifies the ITS station protocol entity at the source (source port) or the destination (destination port). The usage of ports is similar to the two-stage packet transport in the IP protocol suite, where the IP provides the routing of packets from source to destination and the transport protocol, such as UDP, multiplexes/demultiplexes messages from/to application processes. In the case of BTP, the GeoNetworking protocol transports the packets among the ITS stations and the BTP protocol delivers the packets to the entities at the ITS facilities layer. BTP also adopts the concept of "well-known ports" from the IP protocol suite that assigns fixed ports to specific ITS facilities layer protocols. The definition of the ports, however, is beyond the scope of the present document. BTP is a lightweight protocol: it has a 4-byte protocol header and requires minimal processing. It provides an unreliable transport of packets, i.e. packets can arrive out-of-order, appear duplicated or can be lost. The design of BTP assumes that entities using the protocol are either tolerant against the unreliable packet transport or provide appropriate mechanisms for reliable communication in their protocols.

enables protocol entities at the ITS facilities layer to access services of the GeoNetworking protocol and to pass

Message multiplexing/demultiplexing is based on ports, an ITS station-internal 16 bit address. A port represents a

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in ETSI EN 302 665 [1], ETSI EN 302 636-3 [4] and the
following apply:
BTP-PDU: PDU exchanged between BTP peer entities
destination: receiving BTP entity in the ITS station
destination port: port identifying the destination's protocol entity at the ITS facilities layer
NOTE: Facilities layer services that do not expect replies either do not include a source port number in the
header, or they set it to a default (usually 0) to indicate no reply port available. For session-based services
(client-server or peer-to-peer), the source port is often set to a value from an ephemeral (dynamically
assigned) subspace of the space of all port numbers.
GN-PDU: PDU exchanged between peer entities of the GeoNetworking protocol
ITS-FPCI: control information passed from the ITS Facilities layer to the BTP
port: ITS station-internal address that identifies a protocol entity at the ITS facilities layer and represents an endpoint of
a logical connection
source: originating BTP entity in the ITS station
source port: port number to be used by a facilities layer entity as the destination port in a subsequent reply to the
originator
NOTE: Such an entity may be listening for a reply BTP packet.
3.2 Symbols
Void.

4 Services provided by the Basic Transport Protocol
The Basic Transport Protocol (BTP) provides an end-to-end, connection-less transport service in the ITS ad hoc
network (ETSI EN 302 636-3 [4]). Similar to UDP (IETF RFC 768 [i.5]), it offers a minimal transport service, i.e. the
non-guaranteed delivery of BTP-PDUs among BTP entities. It also allows protocol entities at the ITS facilities layer to
directly access the se
