Road Transport and Traffic Telematics (RTTT); Test specifications for Dedicated ShortRange Communication (DSRC)
transmission equipment as identified belowas identified below:
Part 1: "DSRC data link layer: medium access and logical link control";

1 Scope
The present document specifies partial Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proformas for the
application layer of CEN DSRC as defined in EN 12834 [1], in compliance with the relevant requirements, and in
accordance with the relevant guidance given in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [4] and ETS 300 406 [5].
This proforma is intended for use by suppliers of equipment which is claimed to conform to the CEN DSRC application
layer, as specified in EN 12834 [1].
The present document also contains profile Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) proformas and profile
Requirements Lists for the application layer for use by suppliers of equipment which is claimed to conform to
EN 13372 [2], DSRC Profiles for RTTT.
To evaluate conformance of a particular implementation, it is necessary to have a statement of which capabilities and
options have been implemented for a telecommunication specification. Such a statement is called an Implementation
Conformance Statement (ICS). The present document provides proforma ICS templates, to be filled in by equipment
suppliers.

4 Overview of the templates
The present document contains separate PICS templates for On Board Unit (OBU) and Road Side Unit (RSU). These
can be found in annexes A and B respectively.
In addition, the present document contains profile Requirement Lists (RL) and profile-specific ICS proformas for
equipment claimed to conform to EN 13372 [2]. Again, these exist for the OBU and for the RSU.
5 Conformance requirement concerning PICS
If it claims to conform to the present document, the actual PICS proforma to be filled in by a supplier shall be
technically equivalent to the text of the PICS proforma given in annex A, and shall preserve the numbering/naming and
ordering of the proforma items.
An ICS which conforms to the present document shall be a conforming PICS proforma completed in accordance with
the instructions for completion given at the start of each annex.

Annex A (normative):
ICS proforma for DSRC application layer for OBU
Notwithstanding the provisions of the copyright clause related to the text of the present document, ETSI grants that
users of the present document may freely reproduce the ICS proforma in this annex so that it can be used for its
intended purposes and may further publish the completed ICS.
A.1 Guidance for completing the PICS proforma
A.1.1 Purposes and structure
The purpose of this PICS proforma is to provide a mechanism whereby a supplier of an implementation of the
requirements defined in EN 12834 [1] may provide information about the implementation in a standardized manner.
The PICS proforma is subdivided into clauses for the following categories of information:
• guidance for completing the PICS proforma;
• identification of the implementation;
• identification of the protocol;
• global statement of conformance;
• PICS proforma tables:
- Kernels;
- Initialization Kernel;
- Transport Kernel;
- Broadcast Kernel;
- ASN.1 Data Types.
A.1.2 Abbreviations and conventions
The PICS proforma contained in this annex is comprised of information in tabular form in accordance with the
guidelines presented in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [4].
Item column
The item column contains a number which identifies the item in the table.
Item description column
The item description column describes in free text each respective item (e.g. parameters, timers, etc.). It implicitly
means "is supported by the implementation?".
ETSI
11 ETSI TS 102 486-2-1 V1.2.1 (2008-10)
Status column
The following notations, defined in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [4], are used for the status column:
m mandatory - the capability is required to be supported.
o optional - the capability may be supported or not.
n/a not applicable - in the given context, it is impossible to use the capability.
x prohibited (excluded) - there is a requirement not to use this capability in the given context.
o.i qualified optional - for mutually exclusive or selectable options from a set. "i" is an integer which
identifies a unique group of related optional items and the logic of their selection which is defined
immediately following the table.
ci conditional - the requirement on the capability ("m", "o", "x" or "n/a") depends on the support of
other optional or conditional items. "i" is an integer identifying a unique conditional status
expression which is defined immediately following the table.
Reference column
The reference column makes reference to EN 12834 [1], except where explicitly stated otherwise.
Support column
The support column shall be filled in by the supplier of the implementation. The following common notations, defined
in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [4], are used for the support column:
Y or y supported by the implementation.
N or n not supported by the implementation.
N/A, n/a or - no answer required (allowed only if the status is n/a, directly or after evaluation of a conditional
status).
NOTE: As stated in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [4], support for a received PDU requires the ability to parse all valid
parameters of that PDU. Supporting a PDU while having no ability to parse a valid parameter is
non-conformant. Support for a parameter on a PDU means that the semantics of that parameter are
supported.
Values allowed column
The values allowed column contains the type, the list, the range, or the length of values allowed. The following
notations are used:
- range of values: .
example: 5 . 20
- list of values: , , .,
example: 2, 4, 6, 8, 9
example: '1101'B, '1011'B, '1111'B
example: '0A'H, '34'H, '2F'H
- list of named values: (), (), ., ()
example: reject(1), accept(2)
- length: size ( . )
example: size (1 . 8)
Values supported column
The values supported column shall be filled in by the supplier of the implementation. In this column, the values or the
ranges of values supported by the implementation shall be indicated.
ETSI
12 ETSI TS 102 486-2-1 V1.2.1 (2008-10)
References to items
For each possible item answer (answer in the support column) within the PICS proforma a unique reference exists,
used, for example, in the conditional expressions. It is defined as the table identifier, followed by a solidus character "/",
followed by the item number in the table. If there is more than one support column in a table, the columns are
discriminated by letters (a, b, etc.), respectively.
EXAMPLE 1: A.5/4 is the reference to the answer of item 4 in table 5 of annex A.
EXAMPLE 2: A.6/3b is the reference to the second answer (i.e. in the second support column) of item 3 in
table 6 of annex A.
Prerequisite line
A prerequisite line takes the form: Prerequisite: .
A prerequisite line after a clause or table title indicates that the whole clause or the whole table is not required to be
completed if the predicate is FALSE.
A.1.3 Instructions for completing the PICS proforma
The supplier of the implementation shall complete the PICS proforma in each of the spaces provided. In particular, an
explicit answer shall be entered, in each of the support or supported column boxes provided, using the notation
described in clause A.1.2.
If necessary, the supplier may provide additional comments in space at the bottom of the tables or separately.
A.2 Identification of the implementation
Identification of the Implementation Under Test (IUT) and the system in which it resides (the
System Under Test (SUT)) should be filled in so as to provide as much detail as possible regarding version numbers and
configuration options.
The product supplier information and client information should both be filled in if they are different.
A person who can answer queries regarding information supplied in the PICS should be named as the contact person.
