| |
| == How to Read This Document |
| |
| This is the Function Specification for the set of BSSMAP (v11.2.0) protocol modules. BSSMAP protocol modules are developed for the TTCN-3 Toolset with TITAN. |
| |
| == Scope |
| |
| The purpose of this document is to specify the content of the BSSMAP (V11.2.0) protocol modules. |
| |
| = General |
| |
| Protocol modules implement the message structures of the related protocol in a formalized way, using the standard specification language TTCN-3. This allows defining of test data (templates) in the TTCN-3 language <<_2, [2]>> and correctly encoding/decoding messages when executing test suites using the TITAN TTCN-3 test environment. |
| |
| Protocol modules are using TITAN’s RAW encoding attributes <<_3, [3]>> and hence are usable with the TITAN test toolset only. |
| |
| = Functional Specification |
| |
| == Protocol Version Implemented |
| |
| This set of protocol modules implements protocol messages and constants of the BSSMAP protocol, version 11.2.0 (see <<_1, [1]>>). |
| |
| [[modifications-deviations-related-to-the-protocol-specification]] |
| == Modifications/Deviations Related to the Protocol Specification |
| |
| === Implemented Messages |
| |
| All BSSMAP messages listed in section 3.2 of <<_1, [1]>> are implemented, except for the ones listed in <<protocol-modifications-deviations, Protocol Modifications/Deviations>> |
| |
| [[protocol-modifications-deviations]] |
| === Protocol Modifications/Deviations |
| |
| The following messages are not implemented: |
| |
| * EMERGENCY RESET INDICATION |
| |
| * EMERGENCY RESET COMMAND |
| |
| Message type definitions for these messages are missing from <<_1, [1]>>. |
| |
| [[encoding-decoding-and-other-related-functions]] |
| == Encoding/Decoding and Other Related Functions |
| |
| This product also contains encoding/decoding functions that assure correct encoding of messages when sent from TITAN and correct decoding of messages when received by TITAN. Implemented encoding/decoding functions: |
| |
| [cols=3*,options=header] |
| |=== |
| |
| |Name |Type of formal parameters |Type of return value |
| |`enc_PDU_BSSAP` |PDU_BSSAP |octetstring |
| |`dec_PDU_BSSAP` |octetstring |PDU_BSSAP |
| |`enc_PDU_BSSAP_fast` |PDU_BSSAP |octetstring |
| |`dec_PDU_BSSAP_backtrack` |octetstring |PDU_BSSAP |
| |=== |
| |
| == Limitations |
| |
| Debug log generation is not supported when this revision of this product is used with TITAN version R7A (1.7pl0), because the encoder/decoder functions, automatically generated by TITAN version R7A (1.7pl0) do not contain logging functions. Newer versions of TITAN supports the debug logging within the automatically generated encoder/decoder functions that can be activated by allowing the `DEBUG_ENCDEC` (see Programmer's Technical Reference for TITAN TTCN-3 Test Executor, clause 6.2.3.2) in TITAN runtime configuration files. |
