6. | 6 || 6 | Post-publication MASPS Issues  During ICAO Doc 9776 update, we found 4 post-publication MASPS issues that were mis-aligned (not editorial) with ARINC 631-6 –In Section 3.2.2.4.3.1, Timer T1 calculation should add 2xT1int. –Change TG4 name from “Minimum time between Ground Station Information Frames” to “Maximum time between Ground Station Information Frames” –In Section 3.2.2.5.4.3, Table 3-48b, Air-initiated Handoff response XID_RSP_HO (F=1), change ATN router NETs from optional to mandatory –In MASPS Section 3.2.2.5.4.11.2.1 Aircraft Response to Ground- Requested Autotune, delete “or detected by hearing an uplink.” in sentence “If counter N2 is exceeded, the aircraft shall attempt a handoff to another ground station from the Replacement Ground Station List or detected by hearing an uplink.”  These 4 issues have been incorporated in draft Change 1 to MASPS © 2013 The MITRE Corporation. All rights reserved.

7. | 7 || 7 | Post-publication MOPS Issues  In total, thirty-five post-publication MOPS issues have been identified so far  Eleven issues came from ED-92B and ICAO Doc9776 review, and have been incorporated in draft Change 1 to MOPS  Twenty-four issues came from Rockwell Collins validation inputs (April 2013) –e.g., In some test cases, the receive sequence counter did not take link test and media advisory messages into account  Most of them are corrections of test cases and not editorial  If not corrected, compliance with MASPS, MOPS and TSO-C160 will be at risk  Plan to resolve them in Change 1 to MOPS © 2013 The MITRE Corporation. All rights reserved.

8. | 8 || 8 |  Harmonized Schedule for Change 1 –Next VDLSG/WG92/DLK joint meeting 7/30 – 8/1, 2013, Seattle –Telecons will be scheduled before and after the meeting  In order to fully align MASPS and MOPS with A631-6, we request Change 1 to DO-224C and Change 1 to DO-281B be included in SC- 214 deliverables Request for Change 1 to MASPS and MOPS © 2013 The MITRE Corporation.

Test NameCategoryproposed fixing 1SET8208XunworthyRemove this procedure that is not called in any other tests. 2CheckNetworkImprovement The term "RR" expected is not precise enough. Use X25 RR or VDL2 RR to avoid ambiguity 3 Timer T1 (delay before retransmission)CorrectionStep 6 (SEND LT RR (F=1)), has to be replaced by RR(F=0) 4 Timer T2 (delay before acknowledgement)precisionPrecise that T2 value of 500 ms has to include some MAC delay also.. 5 Timer T4 (maximum delay between transmissions) – SRMEditorialThere are unnumbered steps between Step 1 and Step 2, and step 8 and 9 6 Counter N2 (maximum number of transmissions)unworthy Step 3: not necessary. The Downlink message is retransmitted because the AOA/ATN has not acknowledged the message reception. 7Non-Operational ModeCommentThis assumes that the EUT does not switch in Mode A. 8INFO framesImprovement Step 7: "INFO (P=1) frame with an incorrect N(s)". The value of incorrect N(s) must be in the window [expected N(s)+1,expected N(s)+1+Windowsize], otherwise a RR will be send. 9Procedures for Transmission Test can not be performed This test is not doable as described: Step 8 -> not clear repeat Step 1-3 (it is not necessary to repeat step 1&2, only step 3a, 3b and 3c have to be repeated; nothing tells if the 50 INFO frames have to be send down)., Step 9 -> impossible W is not modifyed by XID CMD LE, Step 2 -> not possible to set N(R)=10 !). 10TEST FrameCorrectionIn prerequisite correct bit 12 into Bit 14 11 Frequency Recovery – Air FSL (h)CorrectionStep 4. CMD_LE can also be used after a DISC, as per other tests. Validation Inputs from Rockwell Collins
