SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of ETS 300 607-1 Edition 9, the ETSI conformance specification for Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2) (GSM) Mobile Station (MS) testing. It specifies how a GSM MS is checked for radio performance, signalling, bearer services, SIM/ME interface behavior, supplementary services, SMS, speech, and special test functions, so manufacturers, test laboratories, and purchasers can verify how a terminal behaves in practice.

What does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005 specify?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005 specifies the conformance test program for a GSM Mobile Station (MS). The standard covers the MS as a radio terminal and as a signalling device, including call setup, mobility management, data services, speech, supplementary services, and interaction with the SIM.

The document is organized as a test specification with clauses for scope, normative references, definitions and applicability, test equipment, general methodology, reference test methods, implicit testing, measurement uncertainty, and test format. It then moves through generic call setup procedures, general service tests, transceiver and transmitter tests, receiver tests, mobility and layer 2/layer 3 signalling tests, SIM/ME interface tests, bearer services, speech tests, supplementary services, SMS, low battery detection, and special conformance testing functions.

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005?

The standard is built around test cases. For each area, SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005 sets out the test purpose, initial conditions, procedure, and expected result, so a reader can see both what the MS must support and how that support is verified.

Radio and RF performance

Clauses 12 to 14 cover conducted and radiated spurious emissions, transmitter frequency and phase error, output RF spectrum, intermodulation attenuation, receiver reference sensitivity, usable input level range, co-channel and adjacent-channel rejection, intermodulation rejection, blocking and spurious response, AM suppression, and paging performance at high input levels. In practice, these tests check whether the MS stays within the required RF behavior while transmitting, receiving, and reacting to interference.

Clause 13 refers to GSM 05.10 and GSM 05.05, and clause 12 refers to GSM 05.05. That tells the reader that RF conformance is judged against the GSM radio performance rules used by the wider GSM family of specifications.

Call setup, service support, and bearer coding

Clauses 10 and 11 define generic call setup procedures for mobile terminating and mobile originating speech calls and data calls, then verify support or non-support of services such as multiple numbering scheme, single numbering scheme, Advice of Charge Charging (AoCC), call hold, multiparty, Fixed Dialling Number (FDN), and IMEI security. This matters because a lab or buyer can confirm not only that a service works, but also that unsupported features are correctly rejected.

Clause 11.8 covers coding of the Bearer Capability information element in both network-to-MS and MS-to-network directions. The examples include asynchronous service, synchronous service, alternate speech/data, speech followed by data, and facsimile group 3 cases. In practice, this is where interoperable message coding is checked so the MS and network can agree on the service being requested.

Mobility management, paging, and handover

Clauses 15 to 23 cover timing advance and absolute delay, reception time tracking speed, access times during handover, temporary reception gaps, channel release after unrecoverable errors, cell selection and reselection, received signal measurements, transmit power control timing and confirmation, and single frequency reference. These clauses are the core mobility tests: they show whether the MS can camp on cells, move between cells, react to changing signal conditions, and keep calls and signalling stable during those changes.

Clause 20 is especially broad. It includes basic cell selection, reselection using system information parameters, priority of cells, emergency calls, downlink signalling failure, multiband cell selection and reselection, and checks for neighbour-carrier decoding. For a reader, this means the standard verifies how the MS finds service, stays on the right cell, and moves when radio conditions change.

Layer 2 and layer 3 signalling

Clause 25 tests layer 2 functions such as initialization, normal information transfer, disconnection, link failure, incorrect control bits, and invalid frames. Clause 26 tests layer 3 functions including channel request, IMSI attach and detach, idle mode behavior, unknown or erroneous protocol data, immediate assignment, paging, measurement reporting, channel assignment, handover, ciphering mode setting, classmark handling, channel release, location updating, MM connection, circuit switched call control, structured procedures, E-GSM signalling, multiband signalling, and Enhanced Full Rate signalling.

In practice, these clauses check whether the MS handles GSM signalling correctly at the protocol level, including error handling. That is important because many field problems come from message handling rather than RF power or audio quality.

SIM/ME interface and subscriber features

Clause 27 covers the SIM/ME interface, including short and long IMSI and TMSI identification, forbidden PLMN handling, access control management, protocol tests, mechanical and electrical tests, PIN and PUK handling, Abbreviated Dialling Numbers (ADN), SIM status handling, Fixed Number Dialling (FND), phase identification, SIM presence detection, and Advice of Charge (AoC). This section matters for device makers because it checks that the terminal and SIM can exchange commands and status reliably, and that subscriber protections behave correctly.

Clause 33 adds mobile station features such as called-number display, call progress tones, network selection indication, invalid and blocked PIN indicators, service indication, subscription identity management, barring of outgoing calls, and prevention of unauthorized calls. These are user-facing behaviors, so they affect what the user sees and hears during everyday use.

Bearer services, speech, SMS, and special functions

Clauses 29 to 32 cover transparent and non-transparent bearer services, facsimile tests, speech teleservices, supplementary services, speech transcoding, and channel delay tests. Clause 29.3 is the Radio Link Protocol (RLP) test area for non-transparent data services, including initialization, data transfer, and RLP parameter negotiation. Clause 34 covers Short Message Service (SMS) point-to-point and cell broadcast behavior, including memory full conditions, status reports, message classes, and replace mechanisms.

Clause 36 covers special conformance functions such as internal test loops, Electrical Man Machine Interface (EMMI), Digital Audio Interface (DAI), and the SIM/ME test interface. These are practical test hooks: they let a lab activate controlled modes and observe the MS in a repeatable way.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005 define?

• Mobile Station (MS) - the GSM terminal being tested, including its radio, signalling, service, and SIM-related behavior.
• Radio Link Protocol (RLP) - the protocol used in the non-transparent data service tests in clause 29.3.
• Advice of Charge Charging (AoCC) - the charging-related service tested in call and charging behavior clauses.
• Fixed Dialling Number (FDN) - the feature that limits calling to fixed numbers and is checked in clause 11 and clause 27.
• Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) - the mobile network identity used in selection, forbidden list, and roaming-related tests.
• International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) - the equipment identity used in the IMEI security tests.
• Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) - the subscriber card or module tested through the SIM/ME interface clauses.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005 is used by GSM terminal manufacturers, conformance test laboratories, and quality or approval teams that need to prove that a Mobile Station behaves as expected. It is also useful to buyers and operators that want a clear test basis for comparing devices, especially for RF performance, signalling, bearer services, SIM handling, SMS, and supplementary services.

What changed in SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005 from the previous edition?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005 is the ninth edition of ETS 300 607-1 and corresponds to GSM 11.10-1 version 4.22.1. The scope notes changes affecting testing of non-transparent data services (RLP tests), SysInfo 2ter and L2 pseudolength, ciphering mode and change-of-mode algorithm and key, multiband signalling expected sequence, the delay between channel release and paging, paging performance at high input levels, and timing of call termination on SIM removal.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005?

The standard relies on several GSM companion specifications named in the clauses:

• GSM 05.05 - used for RF requirements such as spurious emissions, output spectrum, and transmitter conditions.
• GSM 05.10 - used for transmitter frequency and phase error and related timing checks.
• GSM 05.02 - used where phase 2 MS behavior in a phase 1 network is tested.
• GSM 02.07 - used in the autocalling restriction tests.
• PICS/PIXIT - used where the call setup procedures depend on implementation-specific information provided by the apparatus supplier.

These references tell the reader that the MS conformance tests are not stand-alone; they are checked against the wider GSM specification set.

What does the SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005 document contain?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E9:2005 contains detailed test descriptions, not just high-level requirements. Many clauses use a repeating structure of definition, conformance requirement, test purpose, method of test, and test requirement, which makes the document usable as a lab procedure as well as a specification.

It includes message sequences for generic calls, extensive tables for bearer capability coding, and default contents for layer 3 messages. It also contains radio measurement methods, threshold and limit tables, and test setups for frequency hopping, fading, interference, handover, and paging.

Later clauses add protocol sequences for layer 2 and layer 3, parameter negotiation for RLP, facsimile procedures, speech quality measurements, SMS cases, and SIM electrical and mechanical checks. The document also shows figures and annex material, including the artificial ear reference in annex A, for use in acoustic and speech-related testing.
