SIST EN 300 652:1999 is a Slovenian standard identical to EN 300 652 V1.2.1 from ETSI for Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN) HIPERLAN Type 1. It specifies the functional behaviour of HIPERLAN Type 1 radio LAN equipment, including MAC, CAC and physical layer operation, for use in the 5.15 GHz to 5.30 GHz band with Non-Pre-emptive Priority Multiple Access (NPMA). Engineers, equipment suppliers and network planners use it to design interoperable HIPERLAN Type 1 systems for portable and fixed terminals.
What does SIST EN 300 652:1999 specify?
SIST EN 300 652:1999 specifies the technical characteristics, operating modes and management facilities of HIPERLAN Type 1 equipment. In practice, it defines how the radio LAN is addressed, how users access the shared channel, how user data is transferred, and how the physical layer transmits and receives bursts.
The standard is organized into clauses 1 to 11, followed by informative annexes. The main body covers scope, references, definitions, the overall architecture, MAC service and protocol, CAC service and protocol, physical layer requirements, the HIPERLAN enhancement unit, and conformance.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 652:1999?
Scope, layers and access method
SIST EN 300 652:1999 confines HIPERLAN Type 1 to the Physical Layer and the MAC part of the Data Link Layer. Clause 4 also places it in a three-part HIPERLAN reference model: MAC, CAC and PHY. This matters because higher-layer networking is left to the system designer.
Clause 4 and clause 8 require the channel access mechanism to follow NPMA, implemented as Elimination-Yield Non-pre-emptive Priority Multiple Access (EY-NPMA). That gives higher-priority traffic a better chance to access the channel without being interrupted by later arrivals.
Addressing and identification
Clause 4 uses 48-bit LAN MAC addresses for both MSAP-address and HCSAP-address identification. Individual addresses identify one service access point, while group addresses identify a set of them. This keeps the HIPERLAN service aligned with LAN addressing practice and supports unicast and group communication.
Clause 4 also requires each HIPERLAN to use a HIPERLAN identifier and a HIPERLAN name. The identifier distinguishes traffic belonging to different HIPERLANs, while the name is used by users to explore nearby networks. The reserved value Any_HIPERLAN is used when communication with any HIPERLAN is allowed.
MAC service, priorities and timing
Clause 5 defines a connectionless MAC service for MSDU transfer, HMQoS failure reporting and HIPERLAN look-up. The main user-controlled parameters are user priority and MSDU lifetime. In practice, the user states how important a transfer is and how long it remains useful.
Clause 5 also defines residual MSDU lifetime, so the receiver can see how much of the original lifetime remains after transit delay. That is useful for time-sensitive traffic and for deciding whether delayed data still has value.
MAC protocol functions
Clause 6 limits the maximum MSDU size to 2 383 octets and defines the HIPERLAN MAC protocol functions: look-up, power conservation, user data transfer, routing information maintenance and HMPDU transfer. It also defines HMPDU types such as DT-HMPDU, LR-HMPDU, LC-HMPDU, IP-HMPDU, GP-HMPDU, TC-HMPDU and HO-HMPDU.
The MAC protocol supports relaying so communication can extend beyond a single radio range. It also defines optional HIPERLAN-wide encryption-decryption, and power conservation roles called p-saver and p-supporter. In practice, implementers must decide which optional functions they support and how they manage routing, relaying and sleeping devices.
CAC service and channel access
Clause 7 defines the CAC service over a single shared radio channel and introduces channel access priority. Clause 8 defines EY-NPMA with prioritization, elimination, yield and transmission phases. This is the core channel-sharing rule for time-bounded communication.
Clause 8 also defines HCPDU types and the structure used for channel permission, acknowledgements and data transfer. That matters because the CAC layer controls when a station may transmit and how channel access is coordinated among contenders.
Physical layer behaviour
Clause 9 defines RF carriers, antenna systems, clear channel assessment, channel access bursts, data bursts, modulation and burst transmission. It includes GMSK and FSK, transmitter power behaviour, unwanted emissions, switching times, receiver performance and PHY Layer Management.
For implementers, this is the part that drives radio design, measurement and interoperability. It also includes procedures for changing channel, changing power and measuring channel load.
What terms does SIST EN 300 652:1999 define?
- Channel Access Control (CAC) - the sublayer between MAC and PHY in the HIPERLAN reference model.
- Non-Pre-emptive Priority Multiple Access (NPMA) - a channel access principle where higher access priority protects performance from lower priorities.
- Elimination-Yield Non-pre-emptive Priority Multiple Access (EY-NPMA) - the HIPERLAN-specific NPMA used for channel access.
- Medium Access Control (MAC) - the sublayer that provides the HIPERLAN MAC service over a shared medium.
- MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) - the data unit transferred by the MAC service.
- HIPERLAN MAC Protocol Data Unit (HMPDU) - a MAC-layer protocol data unit used for data, look-up, topology and hello functions.
- HIPERLAN CAC Protocol Data Unit (HCPDU) - a CAC-layer protocol data unit used for channel access control and data transfer.
- HIPERLAN MAC Quality of Service (HMQoS) - the MAC-side quality-of-service parameters, including user priority and MSDU lifetime.
Who uses SIST EN 300 652:1999?
SIST EN 300 652:1999 is used by radio LAN equipment designers, MAC and PHY implementers, and system integrators building HIPERLAN Type 1 products. It is also used by network planners who need to understand address handling, relaying, power conservation and channel access behaviour.
Quality and test teams use it to check protocol behaviour, burst transmission characteristics, receiver limits and conformance requirements. Procurement and technical review teams use it to compare products that claim HIPERLAN Type 1 operation.
What changed in SIST EN 300 652:1999 from the previous edition?
The foreword states that this European Standard was converted from an ETS into an EN, including Amendments 1 and 2. It also notes two editorial changes: one in subclause 6.4.1.1 in the second formula, and one in subclause 9.7.3.2 in the Mbit/s number.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 652:1999?
- CEPT Recommendation T/R 22-06 - provides the harmonised radio frequency bands for HIPERLAN operation.
- ISO/IEC 7498-1 - supplies the OSI Basic Reference Model terms used for layers, entities and service access points.
- ISO/IEC 10731 - provides the OSI service convention terms used for primitives such as request, indication and confirm.
- ANSI/IEEE 802.1a - provides LAN architecture terms such as local area network, logical link control and medium access control.
- ISO/IEC 15802-1 - provides the MAC service definition and MSDU terminology.
- ISO/IEC 10038 - provides the MAC bridges concepts used for interconnection with other LANs.
- ISO/IEC 10646-1 - provides UCS-2 character encoding for the HIPERLAN name.
What does the SIST EN 300 652:1999 document contain?
The document contains service models, state diagrams, primitive tables, protocol procedures and detailed field definitions. It also includes structure and encoding rules for HMPDUs and HCPDUs, plus formulas and timing rules for check values, pattern timing and channel access behaviour.
It gives radio-layer parameters such as RF carriers, modulation, transmitter power, receiver performance and channel assessment settings. Annex A provides a management information base example, and Annex B places HIPERLAN management in the OSI management framework.
