scope:

This document specifies the key actors in the eCall chain of service provision using IMS over packet switched networks (such as LTE, 5G and their successors) as:

1) In-Vehicle System (IVS)/vehicle,

2) Mobile Network Operator (MNO),

3) Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)

and to provide conformance tests for actor groups 1) - 3).

NOTE 1 Conformance tests are not appropriate nor required for vehicle occupants, although they are the recipient of the service.

NOTE 2 Third party eCall systems (TPS-eCall) are not within the scope of this deliverable. This is because the core TPS-eCall standard (EN 16102) does not specify the communications link between the vehicle and the TPS service provider.

NOTE 3 These conformance tests are based on the appropriate conformance tests from EN 16454 which was published before Internet Protocol multimedia Systems (IMS) packet switched networks were available. This deliverable therefore replicates the appropriate tests from EN 16454 (and acknowledge their source); adapt and revise Conformance Test Protocols (CTP) from EN 16454 to an IMS paradigm; or provide new additional tests that are required for the IMS paradigm. Some 112-eCall (Pan European eCall) tests provided in EN 16454 are specific to GSM/UMTS circuit switched communications and not appropriate for the IMS paradigm and are therefore excluded from this deliverable.
