SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003 is the SIST adoption of ETSI EN 300 394-4-6 for Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA). It specifies an Abstract Test Suite (ATS) for protocol conformance testing of Direct Mode Operation (DMO) Direct Mode Repeater (DM-REP) type 1, focused on the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer and used for approval testing and interoperability checks.

What does SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003 specify?

SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003 specifies the ATS used to test the DM-REP1 MAC layer protocol in TETRA DMO. The document is aimed at protocol conformance testing of mobile station-related equipment for Direct Mode operation, with the test basis built around TTCN and ISO/IEC 9646 methodology.

The scope is narrow and practical: it addresses the MAC protocol, while the underlying physical layer is assumed to be fully functional. This matters in practice because the document is for verifying protocol behaviour, not for testing the radio hardware itself.

The document is organized into:

• clause 4, which explains the abstract test method and test configurations;
• clause 5, which sets out ATS conventions and naming rules;
• Annex A, which contains the ATS in TTCN.GR and TTCN.MP form;
• Annex B, which gives the partial PIXIT proforma;
• Annex C, which gives the PCTR proforma.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003?

SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003 defines how DM-REP1 MAC conformance testing is to be set up, named, and reported. The main practical requirement is that test results can be produced in a standardized way that supports approval testing and comparison between laboratories.

Test method and control points

Clause 4 selects the remote test method from ISO/IEC 9646-2. For some tests the repeater must be controlled and observed through one Point of Control and Observation (PCO); for others, both air interfaces must be handled together using two PCOs. In practice, this means a test lab may need either a single-link setup or a coordinated two-link setup depending on the test purpose.

Single-party and multi-party configurations

Clause 4.3 defines two ATS configurations: single_party and multi_party. The single-party configuration uses one Main Test Component (MTC), while the multi-party configuration uses one MTC and two Parallel Test Components (PTCs), one for the master link and one for the slave link. This is important because some MAC behaviours can only be observed when both links are exercised at the same time.

ATS conventions

Clause 5 defines naming conventions for test suite elements, constants, variables, timers, PDU types, PCOs, and test cases. These rules matter because they keep TTCN code and test reports readable and consistent across implementations and updates.

PIXIT and PCTR information

Annex B defines the partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma, including items such as repeater address, power class, power control flag, and supported traffic-channel type. Annex C defines the Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR) proforma, which records conformance status, static and dynamic summaries, and the test campaign report.

Conformance evidence

Annex C ties the ATS to recorded verdicts for the defined DM-REP1 MAC test cases. In practice, this is the material used to document whether an implementation has met the specified protocol requirements.

What terms does SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003 define?

• Abstract Test Suite (ATS) - The standardized set of test cases and supporting information used to assess conformance.
• Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN) - The notation used to express the ATS in a test-executable form.
• Medium Access Control (MAC) - The layer under test in this document, responsible for DM-REP1 protocol behaviour at layer 2.
• Direct Mode Repeater Type 1 (DM-REP1) - The repeater type targeted by this ATS.
• Point of Control and Observation (PCO) - The point where test events are injected and observed.
• Implementation Under Test (IUT) - The equipment or implementation being assessed.
• Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) - The implementation-specific information needed to run the ATS.

Who uses SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003?

SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003 is used by test laboratories, equipment manufacturers, and approval or conformance teams working with TETRA DMO equipment. It supports lab testing of DM-REP1 MAC behaviour, preparation of PIXIT data by clients, and recording of conformance results in a PCTR. It is also relevant to organizations checking interoperability between manufacturers’ TETRA equipment.

What changed in SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003 was converted from ETS 300 394-4-6 to an EN during ETSI processing for Vote. The foreword also records that the document had been submitted to Public Enquiry before that conversion.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003?

SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003 relies on these referenced standards and companion documents:

• ETS 300 396-3 - Defines the Mobile Station to Mobile Station (MS-MS) air interface protocol for DMO.
• EN 300 396-4 - Defines the Type 1 Repeater Air Interface that this ATS tests.
• EN 300 396-8-2 - Provides the PICS proforma for Type 1 repeater air interface.
• EN 300 394-4-4 - Defines the Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes for this DM-REP1 ATS.
• ISO/IEC 9646-1, -2, -3, -5 - Provide the general conformance testing framework, ATS specification, TTCN notation, and laboratory/client requirements.
• ETS 300 406 - Gives ETSI methodology for protocol and profile conformance testing.
• ETR 141 - Gives TTCN style guidance.

What does the SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003 document contain?

SIST EN 300 394-4-6 V1.1.1:2003 contains the ATS conventions, the remote single-party and remote multi-party test methods, and the TTCN-based test suite for DM-REP1 MAC conformance. Figures 1 to 4 show the test configurations and component roles used in those methods.

Annex A provides the ATS in both TTCN.GR and TTCN.MP forms. Annex B provides the PIXIT proforma fields for identification, laboratory data, SUT details, protocol identification, and parameter values. Annex C provides the PCTR proforma used to record conformance status, static and dynamic summaries, the test campaign report, and observations.
