3. BLE Test Cases

3.1 BLE/EP/CONN/REG/BV/01: An unregistered Endpoint successfully completes Sidewalk device registration over BLE.

3.1.1 Test Purpose

An unregistered DUT configures the Sidewalk stack in BLE mode. It accepts a BLE connection from the Lower Tester and completes registration. After it has registered it uses BLE radio for Amazon Sidewalk network activities.

3.1.2 Initial Conditions

DUT is not registered with Amazon Sidewalk network.
The Sidewalk stack (BLE) is initialized and started on the DUT.
Lower Tester operates in BLE mode.

3.1.4 Expected Results

3.1.4.1 Pass Verdict

DUT with Sidewalk stack (BLE) initialized is successfully registered with Amazon Sidewalk network.

Afterwards, DUT completes time synchronization over BLE.

3.2 BLE/EP/CONN/REG/BV/02: An unregistered Endpoint successfully completes Sidewalk device registration with use of FFN.

3.2.1 Test Purpose

An unregistered DUT configures the Sidewalk stack in BLE mode. Lower tester establishes BLE connection after detecting beacon with provisioning request. DUT starts registration flow by sending “PROV_INIT_REQ” packet to Lower Tester. At the end of the registration flow, DUT receives
SET_CONFIGURATION_COMPLETE packet from Lower Tester and responds with
RESP_CONFIGURATION_COMPLETE packet, which is a sign of successful device registration. After that BLE connection is dropped and DUT continues to work using BLE radio for Amazon Sidewalk network activities.

3.2.2 Initial Conditions

DUT is fully unregistered from Amazon Sidewalk network (both Cloud and DUT side)
Lower Tester operates in BLE mode.

3.2.4 Expected Results

3.2.4.1 Pass Verdict

Before registration, DUT is transmitting beacons with provisioning request. This information is located in:
“Application ID” - 5th octet of Manufacturing Data - 0x4 (Sidewalk Cloud Service)
“Device State” - second and third bit in 6th octet of Manufacturing Data

Registration mode (0x1).

There may be more than one beacon transmitted by DUT before the BLE connection with Lower Tester is established, however this should not negatively affect the registration process.

Lower Tester establishes BLE connection with DUT, after detecting a beacon with provisioning request.

DUT sends “PROV_INIT_REQ” packet to initiate the registration flow.

Every registration related packet is successfully exchanged between Lower Tester and DUT.

DUT receives “SET_CONFIGURATION_COMPLETE” packet from Lower Tester and responds with
“RESP_CONFIGURATION_COMPLETE”. Those two packets signify that DUT is successfully registered with Amazon Sidewalk network with use of FFN.

Registration status on DUT changes to: “Registered”.

Afterwards, DUT completes time synchronization over BLE.

3.3 BLE/EP/CONN/REG/BV/03: Endpoint can be deregistered from Sidewalk network.

3.3.1 Test Purpose

To verify that the DUT is able to be deregistered from the Amazon Sidewalk network. After deregistration DUT starts transmitting beacons with provisioning request.

3.3.2 Initial Conditions

DUT is registered with Amazon Sidewalk network.
The Sidewalk stack (BLE) is initialized and started on the DUT.

3.3.4 Expected Results

3.3.4.1 Pass Verdict

Calling the method should force the change in registration status of DUT to “not registered”.

After deregistration, DUT starts transmitting beacons with provisioning request. This information is located in:
“Application ID” - 5th octet of Manufacturing Data - 0x4 (Sidewalk Cloud Service)
“Device State” - second and third bit in 6th octet of Manufacturing Data

Registration mode (0x1).

3.4 BLE/EP/DATA/DL/BV/01: Endpoint receives downlink packets with various sizes of Command data.

3.21.4 Expected Results

3.21.4.1 Pass Verdict

All packets with duplicate sequence number are rejected by DUT. Information about them will not be reported on the Upper Tester side.

Upon arrival of the last CUSTOM_NOTIFY_CMD packet, DUT does not trigger “()”, which means that “Link Mask” value remains unchanged and the BLE connection was not dropped.

3.22 BLE/EP/CONN/DUP/BV/05: BLE connection is not closed after 10 packets with duplicate SEQ number reach Endpoint, if not all of those packets are sent within one minute.

3.22.1 Test Purpose

To verify that DUT does not close BLE connection, when 10th packet with duplicate SEQ number is received by Endpoint more than one minute after the first one. DUT will reset the counter of duplicates after a minute passes, starting from the first packet with duplicate sequence number reaching DUT. To confirm this behavior “filter duplicates” option has to be enabled on DUT.

3.22.2 Initial Conditions

DUT is registered with Amazon Sidewalk network.
Lower Tester operates in BLE mode.
SidewalkNetworkFlag is enabled on the Lower Tester.
The Sidewalk stack (BLE) is initialized and started on the DUT.
DUT has completed the time synchronization.
“Filter duplicates” option enabled on the DUT.

3.22.4 Expected Results

3.22.4.1 Pass Verdict

Ten CUSTOM_NOTIFY_CMD packets with duplicate sequence number equal to 1 shall be sent from Lower Tester, where:
Nine CUSTOM_NOTIFY_CMD packets are sent within the one minute period and with a consistent interval of 6 seconds between the packets. One CUSTOM_NOTIFY_CMD packet is sent after the one minute period has ended, within the next 6 seconds.
One minute period starts after Lower Tester finishes transmission of the first downlink packet with duplicate sequence number.

All packets with duplicate sequence number are rejected by DUT. Information about them will not be reported on the Upper Tester side.

Upon arrival of the last CUSTOM_NOTIFY_CMD packet, DUT does not trigger “()”, which means that “Link Mask” value remains unchanged and the BLE connection was not dropped.

3.23 BLE/EP/NW/SYNC/TIME/BV/01: Endpoint completes the initial time sync procedure.

3.23.1 Test Purpose

DUT is able to pass the initial time synchronization procedure. Payload of the beacons transmitted by DUT is appropriate to the time sync state.

3.23.2 Initial Conditions

DUT is registered with Amazon Sidewalk network.
Lower Tester operates in BLE mode.
SidewalkNetworkFlag is enabled on the Lower Tester.

3.23.4 Expected Results

3.23.4.1 Pass Verdict

Depending on the time sync state of DUT, advertising beacon may contain the time sync request. This information is located in “Application ID” - 5th octet of Manufacturing Data in the beacon. Value of the Application ID signifies whether DUT is requesting time sync (0x3

Sidewalk Cloud Service) or if it was already completed (0x21 - IoT Wireless Application). Payload of the beacons to be checked with BLE sniffer on Lower Tester side.

Before starting time sync procedure, DUT transmits beacons with time sync request - Application ID: 0x3 (Sidewalk Cloud Service).

There may be more than one beacon transmitted by DUT before the BLE connection with Lower Tester is established, however this should not negatively affect the time synchronization procedure.

Lower Tester establishes BLE connection with DUT after receiving beacon with time sync request.

The RESP_TIME packet will be sent to DUT right after establishing the BLE connection.

DUT is able to acquire time from the network.

No other UL transmission should take place until the DUT receives a correct RESP_TIME packet which will be reported via Time Status: synced.

After completing time synchronization procedure, DUT triggers “()” twice:
With “Link Mask” value of 1, Link status Up and Time synced, which indicate that the BLE connection was established and time synchronization was completed.
With “Link Mask” value of 0 and Link status Down, which indicate that the BLE connection was dropped right after.

Completion of the time synchronization procedure should also result in DUT transmitting beacons to the app server (without time sync request) - Application ID: 0x21 (IoT Wireless Application).
