Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications (DECT).
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable covering the test specification of DECT Ultra Low Energy
(ULE); as identified below:
Part 1: Test Framework and Profile Test Specification (PTS) for Home Automation Network (phase 1);
Part 2: Test Case Library (TCL) for Home Automation Network (phase 1);
Part 3: Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) for Home Automation Network (phase 1).
The present document defines the Test Framework and the Profile Test Specification (PTS) for Home Automation
Network (phase 1). Home Automation Network (phase 1) is defined as the functionality provided by TS 102 939-1 [10].
Further parts of this multi-part deliverable covering the Test Case Library or additional test specifications for ULE
phase 1 or further phases will be defined in the future by other parts of this multi-part deliverable.
The present document is part of the testing specification of DECT Ultra Low Energy (ULE).
The present document is based on TS 102 939-1 [10] (DECT ULE; Home Automation Network - phase 1) and on
EN 300 175, parts 1 to 8 [1] to [8] (DECT Common Interface).
The present document has been developed in accordance to the rules of documenting a profile specification as described
in ISO/IEC 9646-6 [i.6].
The information in the present document is believed to be correct at the time of publication. However, DECT
standardization is a rapidly changing area, and it is possible that some of the information contained in the present
document may become outdated or incomplete within relatively short time-scales.

1 Scope
The present document contains the Test Framework and the Profile Test Specification (PTS) for "DECT Ultra Low
Energy (ULE); Machine to Machine Communications; Part 1: Home Automation Network (phase 1)
(TS 102 939-1 [10])". The present document covers both the Portable (PT) and the Fixed (FT) Radio terminations.
The objective of the present document is to provide a basis for approval tests of DECT Ultra Low Energy Part 1
equipment giving a high probability of air interface inter-operability between different manufacturer's DECT
equipment.
The scope of the present document does not cover radio conformance test. The radio conformance is covered by the
following documents:
• For devices operating in the DECT frequency band (1 880 MHz to 1 900 MHz): the radio test specification
EN 300 176-1 [i.1] and EN 301 406 [i.2].
• For devices operating in the IMT-2000 frequency band (1 900 MHz to 1 920 MHz and other frequency bands):
EN 301 908-10 [i.3].
The ISO standard for the methodology of conformance testing (ISO/IEC 9646-1 [i.4] and ISO/IEC 9646-2 [i.5]) as well
as the ETSI rules for conformance testing (ETS 300 406 [i.8]) are used as a basis for the test methodology.
