Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN); HIPERLAN Type 2; Conformance testing for the Data Link Control (DLC) protocol; Part 2: Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer; Sub-part 2: Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) specification

The present document contains the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) to test the BRAN HIPERLAN Type 2; Data Link Control (DLC) protocol; Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer [1]. The objective of the present document is to provide a basis for conformance tests for HIPERLAN Type 2 equipment giving a high probability of air interface inter-operability between different manufacturers' HIPERLAN Type 2 equipment. The ISO standard for the methodology of conformance testing (ISO/IEC 9646-1 [3] and ISO/IEC 9646-2 [4]) as well as the ETSI rules for conformance testing (ETS 300 406 [2]) are used as a basis for the test methodology. Annex A provides the Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN) part of the ATS. Annex B provides the Partial Protocol Implementation Extra Information for Testing (PIXIT) Proforma of the MT side ATS. Annex C provides the Partial Protocol Implementation Extra Information for Testing (PIXIT) Proforma of the AP side ATS. Annex D provides the Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR) Proforma of the MT side ATS. Annex E provides the Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR) Proforma of the AP side ATS.

1 Scope
The present document contains the Test Suite Structure (TSS) and Test Purposes (TP) to test the BRAN HIPERLAN
Type 2; Data Link Control (DLC) protocol; Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer [1].
The objective of the present document is to provide a basis for conformance tests for HIPERLAN Type 2 equipment
giving a high probability of air interface inter-operability between different manufacturers' HIPERLAN Type 2
equipment.
The ISO standard for the methodology of conformance testing (ISO/IEC 9646-1 [3] and ISO/IEC 9646-2 [4]) as well as
the ETSI rules for conformance testing (ETS 300 406 [2]) are used as a basis for the test methodology.

Figure 1: TSS for HIPERLAN 2 RLC
The test suite is structured as a tree with a first level defined as RLC-AP or RLC-MT representing the protocol group
"RLC for AP and RLC for MT".
4.2 Test groups
The test groups are organized in three levels. The first level creates three protocol groups representing the protocol
services. The second level separates the protocol services in functional modules. The last level in each branch contains
one or more of the standard ISO subgroups CA, BV, BI, BO and TI.
4.2.1 Protocol groups
The protocol groups identify the RLC services: Association control function, Radio resource control function, and DLC
user connection function, as defined in TS 101 761-2 [1].
