4 Abstract protocol tester
In general, the conformance test system architecture as illustrated in the ITS testing framework EG 202 798 [i.4], see
figure 1, applies. For the present document, the IUT is given by protocols located in the ITS-S management entity, thus
several types of IUTs need to be considered. The "Upper tester application" allows accessing the "upper side" of the
IUT. Lower layer protocols indicated by the block "ITS lower layers" allow access to the IUT from the "lower side".
"Upper side" and "lower side" are obvious terms in case of protocols residing in an OSI communication layer. For
management protocols, it will be clearly specified in clauses 5 and 6 what "upper side" and "lower side" mean.
The test system simulates valid and invalid protocol behaviour and analyses the reaction of the IUT.

5.2 Test configurations
5.2.1 Roles of an ITS-SCU
The test suite for FSAP uses two test configurations in order to cover the different test scenarios. Distinction between
the two configurations is given by the two possible implementation scenarios for an ITS station, i.e. a single-unit
implementation, or an implementation with several "ITS station communication units" (ITS-SCU) which are
interconnected via an ITS station-internal network ISO 24102-4 [1], ISO 24102-5 [2], ISO 21217 [i.2]. These
ITS-SCUs can take over the roles of an ITS-S host, or an ITS-S router, or the combined role of ITS-S host and ITS-S
router. The two identified testing configurations are referred to as CF01 for the single unit implementation, and CF02
for the multi-unit implementation and are described in clauses 5.2.2 and 5.2.3.
5.2.2 Test configuration CF01: No ITS station-internal network
In test configuration CF01 the roles of ITS-S host and ITS-S router are implemented in a single ITS-SCU as illustrated
in figure 3. Consequently the whole supported functionality of FSAP is given in a single ITS-SCU and no station-
internal forwarding between ITS-S host and ITS-S router is needed.

Figure 3: Test configuration CF01 architecture
This configuration is used in the cases listed below TS 102 797-2 [4]:
• ITS-S station internal-network PICS (PICS_S_INW) is set to false.
• The roles PICS (PICS_ROLE_RH) is set to true.
5.2.3 Test configuration CF02: ITS station-internal network
In test configuration CF02, the roles of ITS-S host and ITS-S router are implemented in different ITS-SCUs as
illustrated in figure 4. Consequently there is communications needed between the ITS-SCU with host functionality and
the ITS-SCU with router functionality. This communication goes via the ITS station-internal network using the "ITS
station-Internal management Communications Protocol" (IICP) ISO 24102-4 [1].

Figure 4: Test configuration CF02 architecture
This configuration is used in the cases listed below TS 102 797-2 [4]:
• ITS-S station internal-network PICS (PICS_S_INW) is set to true.
5.3 Test architecture
The present document implements the general TTCN-3 test architecture described in EG 202 798 [i.4], clauses 6.3.2
and 8.3.1.
Figure 5 shows the TTCN-3 test architecture used for the FSAP ATS.
• The MTC is of type ItsFSAP and communicates with the SUT over fsapPort in order to exchange FSAP
messages (SAM, CTX) between the FSAP test component and the FASP IUT. The "ITS lower layers
transport" system adapter is used to enable usage of ITS lower layers in the SUT in case the MF-SAP is not
directly accessible.
• The MTC communicates with the SUT over the utPort in order to trigger FSAP functionalities by simulating
primitives from e.g. application entities. It is required to trigger the FSAP layer in the SUT to send FSAP
messages, which are resulting from upper layer primitives. Furthermore, receiving FSAP messages may result
in notifications to other entities. The "Upper tester transport" system adapter is used to adapt to the upper tester
application implementation of the SUT.
• The MTC communicates with the SUT over the cfPort in order to perform settings in the SUT. The
"Configuration transport" system adapter is used to adapt to the configuration-access implementation of the
SUT.

5.4 Ports and abstract service primitives
5.4.1 Overview
The following TTCN-3 ports are used by the FSAP ATS:
• fsapPort of type FsapPort is used to receive messages from and transmit messages to the IUT (via MF-SAP).
• utPort of type UpperTesterPort is used to receive service message from and transmit service messages to the
IUT (via MF-SAP).
Every port provides "Abstract Service Primitives" (ASPs) as specified in clauses 5.4.2 and 5.4.3.
5.4.2 ASPs of the fsapPort
The following ASPs are used in the fsapPort:
• The FsapReq primitive used to send messages of type NFsapPrimitivesUp or INsapPrimitivesUp sent by the
IUT.
• The FsapInd primitive used to receive messages of type NFsapPrimitivesDown or INsapPrimitivesDown from
the IUT.

12 ETSI TS 102 797-3 V1.2.1 (2014-06)
5.4.3 ASPs of the utPort
The following ASPs are used in the utPort:
• The UtInitialize primitive is used to initialize IUT.
• The FAsapPrimitivesDown primitive is used to send FA-SAP service primitives to the IUT.
• The FAsapPrimitivesUp primitive is used to receive FA-SAP service primitives from the IUT.
6 Abstract Test Method for IICP
6.1 Abstract protocol tester
SUTs which support the "ITS station-Internal management Communications Protocol" (IICP) ISO 24102-4 [1] may
benefit from the conformance test system architecture illustrated in figure 6, where the access to the IUT from top,
i.e. in general via the upper tester application, is performed via management SAPs.

6.2 Test configurations
IICP becomes applicable once an ITS station-internal network is available. This results in the basic configuration
illustrated in figure 7, where the SUT is an ITS-SCU which either has the role of an ITS-S router, or an ITS-S host, or a
combined ITS-S host and router and where the ITS test system simulates such an ITS-SCU at the ITS station-internal
network.
