scope:

The present document contains the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) to test the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) Data Link Control (DLC) layer. The objective of this test specification is to provide a basis for approval tests for DECT equipment giving a high probability of air interface inter-operability between different manufacturer's DECT equipment. The ISO standard for the methodology of conformance testing (ISO/IEC 9646-1 [7], ISO/IEC 9646-2 [8], ISO/IEC 9646-3 [9] and ISO/IEC 9646-5 [10]) as well as the ETSI rules for conformance testing (ETS 300 406 [6] and ETR 141 [13]) are used as basis for the test methodology. Test specifications for the Physical Layer (PHL), Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, and Network (NWK) layer are provided in other the DECT standards. Annex A provides the Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN) part of this ATS. Annex B provides the Partial Protocol Implementation Extra Information for Testing (PIXIT) Proforma of this ATS. Annex C provides the Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR) Proforma of this ATS.
