Overview
SIST EN 301 815-2 V1.1.1:2005 establishes the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma specification for the Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. two (DSS2) protocol. This European Standard, developed by SIST and adopting the ETSI EN 301 815-2, focuses on the indication of Quality of Service (QoS) class and parameters during call or connection establishment in B-ISDN, based on modified ITU-T Recommendations Q.2965.1B and Q.2965.2B.
The PICS proforma is a vital tool for suppliers and implementers to declare the conformity of their DSS2 protocol implementations, ensuring interoperability and compliance with the QoS signalling requirements established in the B-ISDN environment.
Key Topics
Standardization Scope:
- Defines the PICS proforma applicable to the support of QoS class and parameter indication at call setup, referencing EN 301 815-1 and related base standards.
- Incorporates mandatory modifications to ITU-T Q.2965.1B (QoS class indication) and Q.2965.2B (individual QoS parameter indication).
- Specifies the conformance requirements for both user and network roles in supporting QoS information elements in SETUP and CONNECT messages.
Protocol Conformance:
- Outlines PICS tables covering major user and network capabilities, such as:
- Outgoing and incoming call establishment with inclusion and analysis of QoS parameters
- Handling end-to-end transit delay and extended QoS parameters
- Subsidiary capabilities for updating, rejecting, or generating QoS-related information elements
References and Interoperability:
- Ensures alignment with the broader suite of B-ISDN and DSS2-related standards.
- Clarifies reference modifications and adoption procedures for regional implementation and testing.
Applications
Practical Uses of the Standard:
- Manufacturers and system integrators: Use the PICS proforma to formally document the range of supported DSS2 QoS features in B-ISDN equipment or software.
- Network operators: Validate the interoperability and compliance of deployed B-ISDN solutions, crucial for ensuring Quality of Service guarantees in broadband telecommunications networks.
- Testing and certification: Provides a clear checklist and uniform method for conformance assessment, supporting compatibility and regulatory approval processes.
- Documentation and procurement: Enables buyers and technical stakeholders to verify the protocol features offered by potential suppliers based on standardized criteria.
Implementation Value:
- Guarantees consistent interpretation and implementation of QoS signalling across diverse network components.
- Reduces risks of service degradation or mismatched expectations at call setup, supporting differentiated broadband services.

Foreword This European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Services and Protocols for Advanced Networks (SPAN). The present document is part 2 of a multi-part deliverable covering the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. two (DSS2) protocol specification for the Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) to support Quality of Service class and parameters indication at call/connection establishment, as identified below: Part 1: "Protocol specification [ITU-T Recommendations Q.2965.1 (1999) and Q.2965.2 (1999), modified]"; Part 2: "Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma specification
[ITU-T Recommendations Q.2965.1B and Q.2965.2B modified]"; Part 3: "Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) specification for the user"; Part 4: "Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma specification for the user"; Part 5: "Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) specification for the network"; Part 6: "Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma specification for the network". 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 protocol. Such a statement is called a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS). The Protocol specification, part 1 of the present document, extends the basic call control procedures defined in EN 300 443-1 [7] by supporting the connection characteristics (Quality of Service class, End-to-end transit delay) indication.
