37.571-33GPPPart 3: Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS)Release 16TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification for UE positioning
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms, definitions, symbols and abbreviations apply:
– such given in TR 21.905[1]
– such given in ISO/IEC 9646-1 [7] and ISO/IEC 9646-7 [8]
NOTE: Some terms and abbreviations defined in [7] and [8] are explicitly included below with small modification to reflect the terminology used in 3GPP.
3.1 Definitions
Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS): A statement made by the supplier of an implementation or system claimed to conform to a given specification, stating which capabilities have been implemented.
ICS proforma: A document, in the form of a questionnaire, which when completed for an implementation or system becomes an ICS.
Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (IXIT): A statement made by a supplier or implementer of an UEUT which contains or references all of the information (in addition to that given in the ICS) related to the UEUT and its testing environment, which will enable the test laboratory to run an appropriate test suite against the UEUT.
IXIT proforma: A document, in the form of a questionnaire, which when completed for an UEUT becomes an IXIT.
Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS): An ICS for an implementation or system claimed to conform to a given protocol specification.
Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT): An IXIT related to testing for conformance to a given protocol specification.
static conformance review: A review of the extent to which the static conformance requirements are claimed to be supported by the UEUT, by comparing the answers in the ICS(s) with the static conformance requirements expressed in the relevant specification(s).
