SIST ETS 300 607-3 E2:2003 is the Slovenian version of ETS 300 607-3 Edition 2, an ETSI European Telecommunications Standard for GSM Phase 2 mobile stations. It specifies the Layer 3 Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and a partial IXIT proforma for conformance testing of GSM or DCS mobile stations at the mobile radio interface.

What does SIST ETS 300 607-3 E2:2003 specify?

SIST ETS 300 607-3 E2:2003 specifies how to test Layer 3 behaviour of GSM or DCS Phase 2 mobile stations against the related GSM conformance requirements. The document is aimed at the mobile station side of the interface, and it uses ISO conformance-testing methodology as its basis.

Clause 1 states the scope, clause 2 lists the normative references, clauses 3 to 6 define the test language, structure, and method, and the annexes contain the executable ATS and the partial IXIT proforma.

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	Normative Abstract Test Suite, including suite overview, declarations, constraints, dynamic test cases, step library, and defaults library
Annex B	Partial IXIT proforma, including test laboratory, client, SUT, ancillary protocol, and Layer 3 parameter information

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 607-3 E2:2003?

Clause 4 defines the Test Suite Structure (TSS) and how test groups are named. SIST ETS 300 607-3 E2:2003 separates tests into valid behaviour cases (BV) and invalid/inopportune behaviour cases (BI-BO), and it groups them by function such as Initial tests, Idle mode, RR, MM, CC, SS, SM, and others. In practice, this gives a lab a clear way to select the right test family for the feature it wants to verify.

Clause 4 also defines the test step structure, including preambles and postambles. That matters because many Layer 3 tests need the mobile station to be brought into a specific radio and call state before the actual check can begin, and then safely returned to a known state afterwards.

Clause 5 links each Test Purpose (TP) and test case name to the corresponding subclause numbers in SIST ETS 300 607-1. The standard states that the TP identifier and the TTCN test case name are the same. This traceability is important in practice because it lets a user see exactly which conformance requirement a test case exercises.

Clause 6 says that the abstract test method is distributed and uses a lower tester together with the mobile station man-machine interface (MMI) as an upper tester. The test system model includes a lower tester (LT), a Layer 2 emulator, a management functional unit, the Layer 1 service provider, and a TRx set. In practice, that means the ATS is not just a paper description - it assumes a real test setup with radio control, protocol emulation, and human interaction.

Clause 6.2 defines the Point of Controls and Observations (PCO) as the Layer 2 Service Access Point (SAP 0 + 3), with FIFO queues for sending and receiving events. It also states that the L2 primitives can address individual cells and logical channels for multicell testing. This is important because many tests depend on specific cell and channel conditions, not only on protocol content.

Annex A organizes the executable test suite into functional groups such as General, InitialTest, IdleMode, BiBo, RR, MM, CC, StructureProc, EGSMSignalling, SS, and SM. The suite overview shows the selection references for each group and its objective. In practice, this helps a test engineer choose the exact part of the ATS that matches the mobile station function being assessed.

Annex B collects the information needed to adapt the ATS to a specific test environment. It covers the test laboratory, client, system under test, ancillary protocols, protocol-layer information for Layer 3 of the mobile station, parameter values, timer values, and MMI-related questions. That matters because conformance testing depends on the local test setup, not just the protocol specification.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 607-3 E2:2003 define?

Abstract Test Suite (ATS) is the formal set of test cases, test steps, and data used to verify protocol conformance.

Implementation Under Test (IUT) is the implementation being checked by the tests, such as the mobile station protocol entity.

partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (IXIT) is the local test information that must be completed for the test environment and the system under test.

Point of Controls and Observations (PCO) is the interface where the tester sends stimuli and observes responses.

Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) is the statement describing what functions or options the implementation supports.

System Under Test (SUT) is the actual device or system being tested, here the mobile station.

Test Suite Structure (TSS) is the naming and grouping scheme that organizes the test cases into functional areas.

Test Purpose (TP) is the statement of what a specific test case is intended to verify.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 607-3 E2:2003?

SIST ETS 300 607-3 E2:2003 is used by GSM and DCS mobile station test laboratories, protocol validation teams, and engineering groups responsible for conformance testing. It is also used by clients who need to supply IXIT information and by test operators who run the procedures on a live test system.

In practice, the standard supports tasks such as preparing the test setup, configuring cells and channels, bringing the mobile station into a required state, executing Layer 3 test cases, and recording whether the mobile station behaves as expected.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 607-3 E2:2003?

The standard relies on several conformance-testing and GSM protocol references:

• ISO/IEC 9646-1, 9646-2, 9646-3, 9646-5 - provide the conformance testing framework, ATS specification method, Tree and Tabular Combined Notation, and lab/client requirements.
• ISO/IEC 8824 and ISO/IEC 8825 - provide ASN.1 syntax and Basic Encoding Rules used in the test suite type and encoding definitions.
• ITU-T Recommendation Q.773 and ETS 300 287 - support TCAP formats and encoding for signalling components used in supplementary service-related tests.
• ETS 300 406 - provides the standardization methodology for protocol and profile conformance testing.
• ETS 300 607-1 - gives the conformance requirements that the test cases map to.
• ETS 300 607-2 - provides the ICS proforma for the same mobile station conformance specification.
• The GSM 02.xx, 03.xx, 04.xx, 05.xx, 07.01, 08.xx, and 09.02 references supply the service definitions, Layer 3 procedures, supplementary service rules, SMS support, and related signalling behaviour that the ATS exercises.

What does the SIST ETS 300 607-3 E2:2003 document contain?

SIST ETS 300 607-3 E2:2003 contains the full structure needed to execute a Layer 3 conformance test suite for GSM Phase 2 mobile stations. The main body defines the suite structure, naming rules, test purposes, and the distributed test method.

Annex A contains the executable ATS itself, including type definitions, constraints, test cases, test steps, and default handling. It also includes many reusable preambles for moving the mobile station into states such as idle mode, call control states, handover situations, and other Layer 3 scenarios.

The declarations part includes protocol and test data types, while the operations part contains helper functions for building, checking, and transforming test data. These are used to generate channel requests, handle time and random values, and prepare protocol messages consistently during testing.

Annex B contains the partial IXIT proforma that a lab or client completes before running the suite. It captures the practical information needed to configure the test environment and interpret the ATS correctly.

NOTE: TC-SMG has produced documents which give the technical specifications for the
implementation of the digital cellular telecommunications system. Historically, these
documents have been identified as GSM Technical Specifications (GSM-TSs). These
TSs may have subsequently become I-ETSs (Phase 1), or ETSs (Phase 2), whilst
others may become ETSI Technical Reports (ETRs). GSM-TSs are, for editorial
reasons, still referred to in current GSM ETSs.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunications Standard ( ETS) specifies the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial
IXIT proforma for the Network Layer (Layer 3) at the mobile radio interface of the GSM or DCS (Phase 2)
mobile stations (MS) conforming to the ETSs for the Radio Resource management, the Mobility
Management, the circuit-switched Call Control, the Supplementary Services and Short Message Services
for the digital cellular telecommunications systems (Phase 2).
The ISO standards for the methodology of conformance testing are used as the basis for the test
specifications.
