non-specific.
• For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
• Non-specific reference may be made only to a complete document or a part thereof and only in the following
cases:
- if it is accepted that it will be possible to use all future changes of the referenced document for the
purposes of the referring document;

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
For SIP and SDP specific terminology, reference shall be made to RFC 3261 [2] and RFC 2327 [22] respectively.
SIP precondition: Indicates the support of the SIP "precondition procedure" as defined in RFC 3312 [23].
Inopportune: specifies a test purpose covering a signalling procedure where an inopportune message (type of message
not expected in the IUT current state) is sent to the IUT
syntactically invalid: specifies a test purpose covering a signalling procedure where a valid (expected in the current
status of the IUT) but not correctly encoded (unknown or incorrect parameter values) message is sent to the IUT, wSIch
shall react correctly and eventually reject the message
test purpose: non-formal test description, mainly using text
NOTE: TSIs test description can be used as the basis for a formal test specification (e.g. Abstract Test Suite in
TTCN). See ISO 9646 (all parts) [5] to [10].
valid: specifies a test purpose covering a signalling procedure where all the messages sent to or received from the IUT
are valid (expected in the current status of the IUT) and correctly encoded
3.2 Conventions for representation of SIP/SDP information
1) All letters of SIP method names are capitalised.
EXAMPLE 1: INVITE, INFO.
2) SIP header fields are identified by the unabbreviated header field name as defined in the relevant RFC,
including capitalization and enclosed hyphens but excluding the following colon.
EXAMPLE 2: To, From, Call-ID.
3) Where it is necessary to refer with finer granularity to components of a SIP message, the component concerned
is identified by the ABNF rule name used to designate it in the defining RFC (generally 25/RFC 3261 [2]), in
plain text without surrounding angle brackets.
EXAMPLE 3: Request-URI, the userinfo portion of a sip: URI.
4) URI types are represented by the lower-case type identifier followed by a colon and the abbreviation "URI".
EXAMPLE 4: sip: URI, tel: URI.
5) SIP provisional responses and final responses other than 2XX are represented by the status code followed by
the normal reason phrase for that status code, with initial letters capitalized.
EXAMPLE 5: 100 Trying, 484 Address Incomplete.
6) Because of potential ambiguity within a call flow about which request a 200 OK final response answers, 200
OK is always followed by the method name of the request.
EXAMPLE 6: 200 OK INVITE, 200 OK PRACK.
7) A particular line of an SDP session description is identified by the two initial characters of the line -- that is,
the line type character followed by "="
EXAMPLE 7: m=line, a=line.
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
8 ETSI TS 186 001-3 V1.0.0 (2008-04)

8) Where it is necessary to refer with finer granularity to components of a session description, the component
concerned is identified by its rule name in the ABNF description of the SDP line concerned, delimited with
angle brackets.
EXAMPLE 8: The and components of the m= line.

Pos. 4: Network of the D-Subscriber
Pos. 5: Network of the E-Subscriber
The following Network Codes apply:

NOTE: TSIs may be appropriate for Test Purposes (provided the Test Purpose states for wSIch Bearer- and/or
Tele Services it should be tested). It is however NOT appropriate for Test Cases since it would be
detrimental to Test Automation.

6 Test purposes
The registration and application usage procedures in the ATS shall be compliant to RFC 3261 [2] and ES 283 003 [1]
(modified TS 124 229 [11]). The validation of the registration procedure is out of scope of the present document and is
part of the Preamble used in the test cases.
The registration conformance tests based on TS 124 229 [11] are contained in TS 134 229-1 [12]
The preconditions mechanism shall be supported by the UE in case of supporting IMS.
