SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 944 V7.0.1 for GSM mobile stations. It specifies measurable performance requirements on the mobile radio interface, with emphasis on signaling timing and response behavior for Release 1998. Manufacturers, test laboratories, and buyers can use it to check whether a Mobile Station (MS) reacts within the required time limits under defined conditions.

What does SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003 specify?

SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003 specifies performance requirements for signaling aspects of GSM Mobile Stations (MS). The document is organized around general response rules and then separates requirements for Radio Resource (RR), Mobility Management (MM), Call Control (CC), supplementary services, and Short Message Service Point-to-Point.

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	Change Request History

The scope says this document is an upgrade from Phase 2+ to Release 1998. The foreword also states that the document gives a mechanism for reliable transfer of signaling messages within the digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+), and that requirements are written for the whole MS rather than by individual OSI layer. That matters in practice because test planning must treat the handset as a complete system, including timing interaction with the SIM and the radio interface.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003?

SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003 is mainly a timing specification. It sets maximum response times for many GSM signaling procedures, so conformance tests focus on whether the MS is ready to transmit the expected message within the stated interval.

Default conditions shape the tests

Clause 4 defines the default conditions used unless a subclause says otherwise: ideal radio link, no other signaling on the main DCCH, correctly formed network messages, a single SAPI0 data link, allowed access classes, a valid powered-on SIM, and related assumptions. In practice, these conditions tell the tester the baseline environment for measurements and when extra allowances are permitted.

General layer 3 response rules

Clause 5.1 requires the MS to be ready to transmit a response within 500 ms after the last timeslot of a network command message block, unless a more specific rule applies. The same clause also requires status messages such as RR-STATUS, MM-STATUS, or STATUS to be ready within 500 ms after an erroneous layer 3 message when GSM 04.08 requires a status response.

RR signaling covers paging, assignment, handover, and encryption

Clause 5.2 gives the most detailed timing rules for RR procedures. Examples include CHANNEL REQUEST after paging, SABM after immediate assignment, ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE or ASSIGNMENT FAILURE after channel assignment, and several HANDOVER COMPLETE and HANDOVER FAILURE timings for synchronized and non-synchronized cases. Clause 5.2 also covers CIPHERING MODE COMPLETE, CLASSMARK CHANGE, CLASSMARK ENQUIRY, and the stop-transmission timing after CHANNEL RELEASE. In practice, these rules measure how quickly the MS can move between control and traffic channels without breaking ongoing service.

MM signaling covers identity, authentication, and detach behavior

Clause 5.3 sets response times for IDENTITY RESPONSE, AUTHENTICATION RESPONSE, TMSI REALLOCATION COMPLETE, and follow-on call behavior after location updating. It also defines when the MS must stop transmission after certain reject or accept messages, and it includes IMSI detach behavior when the BCCH indicates that IMSI detach shall be used. This matters because network registration and SIM-related procedures must finish within predictable delays.

CC, supplementary services, and SMS are also timed

Clause 5.4 covers SETUP, response times to CC messages, user alerting, call establishment, call reestablishment, MODIFY COMPLETE, and START DTMF. Clause 5.5 covers Advice of Charge Charging (AoCC) handling, and clause 5.6 sets CP-ACK and RP-ACK timing for Short Message Services Point-to-Point. These requirements are important for call setup, in-call control, charging features, and text-message delivery.

What terms does SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003 define?

SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003 defines ready to transmit as meaning that the MS transmits part of a message no later than the first burst of the first TCH or control-channel block after the stated time.
Mobile Station (MS) is the device under test, meaning the handset or terminal whose signaling performance is being measured.
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) is the card or module that supplies identity and related responses used in timing assumptions.
Standalone Dedicated Control Channel (SDCCH) is a control channel used in several assignment and handover cases, where timing can differ from traffic-channel cases.
Traffic Channel full rate (TCH/F) and Traffic Channel half rate (TCH/H) are speech traffic channel types that appear in the handover rules.
Advice of Charge Charging (AoCC) is the supplementary service handled in clause 5.5 for charging-related signaling.

Who uses SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003?

SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003 is used by MS designers, protocol engineers, compliance test labs, and quality teams that need to verify GSM signaling behavior. Buyers and technical reviewers use it when they need evidence that a terminal supports the required RR, MM, CC, SMS, and charging-related timing behavior. Network and interoperability teams use it to judge whether a device will react predictably to paging, handover, location updating, call setup, and short-message procedures.

What changed in SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003 is the Release 1998 upgrade of GSM 04.13. Annex A records change requests for early sending of CLASSMARK CHANGE, erroneous release timing, and RP-DATA/RP-ACK timing, and it shows the progression from version 6.0.1 to Release 1998 version 7.0.0 and then publication version 7.0.1.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003?

SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003 relies on the following referenced GSM documents:

• GSM01.04 - provides abbreviations and acronyms used in the document.
• GSM03.22 - defines idle mode and group receive mode functions, including the notion of a suitable cell.
• GSM04.06 - provides data link layer specifications and system performance requirements used in default conditions.
• GSM04.08 - provides layer 3 procedures that the timing rules refer to for RR, MM, and CC behavior.
• GSM04.86 - defines Advice of Charge Charging supplementary services used in clause 5.5.
• GSM05.02 - provides multiplexing and multiple access background for radio operation.
• GSM05.08 - provides radio subsystem link control, used in the call reestablishment conditions.

What does the SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003 document contain?

SIST EN 300 944 V7.0.1:2003 contains clause-by-clause timing requirements for GSM signaling, plus the default conditions that frame the tests. It includes Table 1 for call control message response times and Annex A for change request history. The document also gives defined timing cases for paging, assignment, handover, authentication, location updating, call setup, DTMF, AoCC, CP-DATA, and RP-DATA. In practice, the contents support design verification, conformance testing, and acceptance checks for Mobile Stations.
