`Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS)

`
`A.1 Introduction
`
`The supplier of a protocol implementation that is claimed to conform to 1SO/IEC 8802.11: 1999 shall com(cid:173)
`plete the following PICS proforma.
`
`A completed PICS proforma is the PICS for the implementation in question. The PICS is a statement of
`which capabilities and options of the protocol have been implemented. The PICS can have a number of uses,
`including use
`
`a) By the protocol implementor, as a checklist to reduce the risk of failure to conform to the standard
`through oversight;
`b) By the supplier and acquirer, or potential acquirer, of the implementation, as a detailed indication of
`the capabilities of the implementation, stated relative to the common basis for understanding pro(cid:173)
`vided by the standard PICS proforma;
`c) By the user, or potential user, of the implementation, as a basis for initially checking the possibility
`of interworking with another implementation (note that, while interworking can never be guaran(cid:173)
`teed, failure to interwork can often be predicted from incompatible PICS proformas);
`d) By a protocol tester, as the basis for selecting appropriate tests against which to assess the claim for
`conformance of the implementation.

`
`A.3 Instructions for completing the PICS proforma
`
`A.3.1 General structure of the PICS proforma
`
`The first part of the PICS proforma, Implementation identification and Protocol summary, is to be completed
`as indicated with the information necessary to identify fully both the supplier and the implementation.
`
`The main part of the PICS proforma is a fixed questionnaire, divided into subclauses, each containing a
`number of individual items. Answers to the questionnaire items are to be provided in the rightmost column,
`either by simply marking an answer to indicate a restricted choice (usually Yes or No) or by entering a value
`or a set or a range of values. (Note that there are some items where two or more choices from a set of possi(cid:173)
`ble answers may apply. All relevant choices are to be marked in these cases.)
`
`Each item is identified by an item reference in the first column. The second column contains the question to
`be answered. The third column contains the reference or references to the material that specifies the item in
`the main body of 1SO/IEC 8802-11: 1999. The remaining columns record the status of each item, i.e.,
`whether support is mandatory, optional, or conditional, and provide the space for the answers (see also
`A.3.4). Marking an item as supported is to be interpreted as a statement that all relevant requirements of the
`subclauses and normative annexes, cited in the References column for the item, are met by the implementa(cid:173)
`tion.
`
`A supplier may also provide, or be required to provide, further information, categorized as either Additional
`Information or Exception Information. When present, each kind of further information is to be provided in a
`further subclause of items labeled A</> or X <I>, respectively, for cross-referencing purposes, where <I> is
`any unambiguous identification for the item (e.g., simply a numeral). There are no other restrictions on its
`format or presentation.
`
`The PICS proforma for a station consists of A.4.1 through A.4.4 inclusive, and at least one of A.4.5, A.4.6,
`or A.4.7 corresponding to the PHY implemented.
`
`A completed PICS proforma, including any Additional Information and Exception Information, is the PICS
`for the implementation in question.
`
`NOTE-Where an implementation is capable of being configured in more than one way, a single PICS may be able to
`describe all such configurations. However, the supplier has the choice of providing more than one PICS, each covering
`some subset of the implementation's capabilities, if this makes for easier and clearer presentation of the information.
`
`A.3.2 Additional information
`
`Items of Additional Information allow a supplier to provide further information intended to assist in the
`interpretation of the PICS. It is not intended or expected that a large quantity of information will be supplied,
`and a PICS can be considered complete without any such information. Examples of such Additional Infor(cid:173)
`mation might be an outline of the ways in which an (single) implementation can be set up to operate in a
`variety of environments and configurations, or information about aspects of the implementation that are out(cid:173)
`side the scope of this standard but have a bearing upon the answers to some items.
`
`References to items of Additional Information may be entered next to any answer in the questionnaire, and
`may be included in items of Exception Information.

`
`A.3.3 Exception information
`
`It may happen occasionally that a supplier will wish to answer an item with mandatory status (after any con(cid:173)
`ditions have been applied) in a way that conflicts with the indicated requirement. No preprinted answer will
`be found in the Support column for this. Instead, the supplier shall write the missing answer into the Support
`column, together with an X<l> reference to an item of Exception Information, and shall provide the appro(cid:173)
`priate rationale in the Exception Information item itself.
`
`An implementation for which an Exception Information item is required in this way does not conform to
`ISO/IEC 8802-11: 1999.
`
`NOTE-A possible reason for the situation described above is that a defect in ISO/IEC 8802-11: 1999 has been
`reported, a correction for which is expected to change the requirement not met by the implementation.
`
`A.3.4 Conditional status
`
`The PICS proforma contains a number of conditional items. These are items for which both the applicability
`of the item itself, and its status if it does apply, mandatory or optional, are dependent upon whether or not
`certain other items are supported.
`
`Where a group of items is subject to the same condition for applicability, a separate preliminary question
`about the condition appears at the head of the group, with an instruction to skip to a later point in the ques(cid:173)
`tionnaire if the Not Applicable (N/ A) answer is selected. Otherwise, individual conditional items are indi(cid:173)
`cated by a conditional symbol in the Status column.
`
`A conditional symbol is of the form "<pred>:<S>", where "<pred>" is a predicate as described below, and
`"<S>" is one of the status symbols Mor 0.
`
`If the value of the predicate is true, the conditional item is applicable, and its status is given by S: the support
`column is to be completed in the usual way. Otherwise, the conditional item is not relevant and the N/ A
`answer is to be marked.
`
`A predicate is one of the following:
`
`a) An item-reference for an item in the PICS proforma: the value of the predicate is true if the item is
`marked as supported, and is false otherwise.
`b) A boolean expression constructed by combining item-references using the boolean operator OR: the
`value of the predicate is true if one or more of the items is marked as supported, and is false otherwise.
`
`Each item referenced in a predicate, or in a preliminary question for grouped conditional items, is indicated
`by an asterisk in the Item column.

`Feature
`
`Is the transmitted SYNC field length in the
`range ofrequired number of PPM slots, with
`the absence of a pulse in the last slot of the
`field?
`Is the transmitted SYNC field entirely popu-
`lated by alternating presence and absence of
`pulses in consecutive PPM slots, with the
`absence of a pulse in the last slot of the field?
`Is the transmitted SFD field the binary
`sequence 100 I , where I indicates a pulse in
`the PPM slot and O indicates no pulse in the
`PPM slot?
`Is the transmitted DR field pulse sequence
`equal to the correct value for the data rate
`provided by the TXVECTOR parameter
`PLCP BITRATE, where I indicates a pulse
`in the PPM slot and O indicates no pulse in
`the PPM slot?
`Is the transmitted DCLA field 32 PPM
`slots long with the specified sequence for
`I Mbit/s, where I indicates a pulse in the
`PPM slot and
