SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006 is the Slovenian adoption of the ETSI standard for the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN) - HIPERLAN Type 1. It tells a supplier of a RES HIPERLAN protocol implementation how to state which capabilities are supported so that conformance to ETS 300 652 can be reviewed consistently.
What does SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006 specify?
SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006 specifies the PICS proforma for the RES HIPERLAN protocol as defined in ETS 300 652, using the guidance of ISO/IEC 9646-7 for conformance statements. In practice, it is the document a supplier completes when claiming that a HIPERLAN Type 1 implementation conforms to the underlying functional specification.
The document is organized into four clauses and one normative annex:
- Clause 1 - Scope
- Clause 2 - Normative references
- Clause 3 - Definitions and abbreviations
- Clause 4 - Conformance
- Annex A - Normative PICS proforma
Annex A is the working part of the standard. It leads the user through identification details, the overall conformance statement, and the capability tables for the MAC, CAC and PHY protocol areas.
What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006?
SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006 is mainly a completion standard: it says what must be stated in the PICS and how that statement is structured. The key point for users is that the finished PICS must be technically equivalent to Annex A, keep the same numbering and order, and identify both the supplier and the implementation.
Conformance and completion rules
Clause 4 requires a conforming PICS proforma to match Annex A and preserve its item order. A conforming PICS must describe an implementation that claims conformance to ETS 300 652, follow the completion instructions in A.1, and include information that uniquely identifies the supplier and the implementation. That matters because a test lab or customer can only compare the claim reliably if the same structure is used every time.
Identification and global statement
Annex A.2 collects the implementation identity data: IUT name and version, SUT name, hardware configuration, operating system, supplier, client, and contact person. Annex A.3 links the PICS to any SCS used for the system, and A.5 asks for a global Yes/No statement of conformance. In practice, this is the administrative core of the form - it makes the statement traceable and shows whether the implementation claims full conformance or records exceptions.
Notation and status meanings
Annex A.1.3 defines the table notation used throughout the proforma. Status values include mandatory, optional, not applicable, selectable option groups, and prohibited; support values indicate whether the item is supported, not supported, or not applicable. This matters because each ticked box is a formal conformance declaration, not just a comment.
MAC protocol items
Annex A.6 covers the MAC protocol. It lists roles such as forwarder, non-forwarder, p-saver and p-supporter, then major capabilities such as the HIPERLAN look-up function, routing information maintenance, power conservation, user data transfer, HMPDU transfer, and MAC service. The subsidiary capability tables break these into specific actions like information query, pattern declaration and recording, route determination, alias learning, and HMPDU selection, transmission and reception. For a reader, this is where the implementation's MAC behavior is documented in enough detail to see what functions are present and which role it plays.
CAC protocol items
Annex A.7 covers the CAC protocol. It distinguishes between a normal HIPERLAN implementation and a HIPERLAN Enhancement Unit (HEU), then lists EY-NPMA channel access, channel permission functions, user data transfer, and HCPDU transfer. The subsidiary items describe phases of access and transfer invitations, checksum computation, hashed destination address computation, and HCPDU reception and rejection handling. In practice, this section shows how the implementation competes for channel access and how it handles CAC control traffic.
PHY protocol items
Annex A.8 covers the PHY protocol. It classifies implementations by transmitter and receiver classes A, B and C, then records operation on all five channels, channel change, receiver input level, transmitter power output, unauthorized antenna prevention, defer threshold, signal strength and channel load measurements, and transmitter power change. The PDU tables also identify the transmitted and received bursts. This is the part that matters when checking radio-layer capabilities and the physical behavior of the equipment.
What terms does SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006 define?
SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006 defines a small set of conformance-testing terms that are used throughout the proforma.
- PICS proforma - A questionnaire prepared for a protocol or conformance test specification that becomes a PICS when it is completed for a specific implementation.
- Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) - A supplier's statement showing which capabilities are implemented for a given OSI protocol.
- Implementation Under Test (IUT) - The implementation being examined for conformance.
- System Under Test (SUT) - The system that contains the IUT, including the hardware and operating system details recorded in the form.
- System Conformance Statement (SCS) - A document that summarizes which standards are implemented and the conformance claimed for the system.
- static conformance review - A comparison of the PICS with the static conformance requirements in the relevant standards.
- HEU - A HIPERLAN Enhancement Unit, used as a role in the CAC and MAC tables.
Who uses SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006?
SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006 is used by suppliers of HIPERLAN Type 1 equipment, by conformance test laboratories, and by engineers who prepare or review protocol conformance declarations. It is also relevant to quality managers and technical buyers who need to check what a claimed ETS 300 652 implementation actually supports.
In practice, users complete Annex A, confirm which roles and capabilities are implemented, and use the resulting PICS as the basis for conformance evaluation and test selection.
What changed in SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006 from the previous edition?
SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006 is identical to ETS 300 836-2 Edition 1.
Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006?
- ETS 300 652 (1996) and prA1 (1996) - The HIPERLAN Type 1 functional specification that the PICS refers to and against which conformance is claimed.
- ISO/IEC 9646-1 (1994) - Provides the general conformance testing concepts, including PICS and static conformance review.
- ISO/IEC 9646-7 (1994) - Gives the rules and guidance for Implementation Conformance Statements and the tabular proforma style used in Annex A.
What does the SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006 document contain?
SIST ETS 300 836-2 E1:2006 contains a structured questionnaire for conformance declaration, with identification fields, a global conformance statement, and capability tables. Annex A organizes the items by protocol area and by role, major capability, subsidiary capability, and protocol data unit.
The tables use references back to ETS 300 652 so the user can locate the underlying protocol requirements while completing the form. That makes the document useful for documentation, conformance review, and the selection of relevant test cases in related test specifications.
The annex includes detailed sections for MAC, CAC and PHY, so a completed PICS gives a compact but precise picture of what an implementation supports.

Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the ETSI Project Broadband
Radio Access Networks (BRAN) of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This ETS consists of 4 parts:
Part 1: "Radio type approval and Radio Frequency (RF) conformance test specification";
Part 2: "Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma specification";
Part 3: "Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) specification";
Part 4: "Abstract Test Suite (ATS) specification".
To evaluate conformance of a particular implementation, it is necessary to have a statement of which
capabilities and options have been implemented for a given Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
protocol. Such a statement is called a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS).

Annex A (normative): PICS proforma
Notwithstanding the provisions of the copyright clause related to the text of this ETS, ETSI grants that
users of this ETS may freely reproduce the PICS proforma in this annex so that it can be used for its
intended purposes and may further publish the completed PICS.
A.1 Instructions for completing the PICS proforma
A.1.1 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.
The System Conformance Statement (SCS) as defined in ISO/IEC 9646-1 [2] is a document supplied by
the client or product supplier that summarizes which OSI International Standards, ETSs or other
standards are implemented and to which conformance is claimed. The PICS/SCS subclause should
describe the relationship of the PICS to the SCS.
A.1.2 Global statement of conformance
If the answer to the statement in this subclause is "Yes", all subsequent subclauses should be completed
to facilitate selection of test cases for optional functions.
If the answer to the statement in this subclause is "No", all subsequent subclauses should be completed,
and all non-supported mandatory capabilities should be identified and explained. Explanations may be
entered in the comments field at the bottom of each table or on attached sheets of paper.
A.1.3 Symbols, abbreviations and terms
The PICS proforma contained in this annex is comprized of information in tabular form in accordance with
the guidelines presented in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [3].
The reference column contained in the tables gives reference to the appropriate part(s) of
ETS 300 652 [1] describing the particular item. Note, however, that a reference merely indicates the place
where the core of a description of an item can be found. Any additional information contained in
ETS 300 652 [1] has to be taken into account when making a statement about the conformance of that
particular item.
The following common notations, defined in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [3], are used for the status column:
M mandatory
O optional
N/A not applicable
O. for mutually exclusive or selectable options from a set
X prohibited (excluded)
The following common notations, defined in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [3], are used for the support column:
Yes for supported/implemented
No for not supported/not implemented
N/A not applicable
