SIST ETS 300 607-1 E6:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of ETS 300 607-1 Edition 6, an ETSI conformance specification for Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2) (GSM) Mobile Stations (MS). It specifies the technical characteristics and test methods used to verify MS behaviour, from radio performance and signaling to SIM/ME interface functions, speech, data, SMS, supplementary services, and special test features.

What does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E6:2005 specify?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E6:2005 specifies how a GSM Phase 2 Mobile Station (MS) is tested for conformance. The document is written as a test specification, so it matters in practice because it tells manufacturers and test labs what to measure, what message sequences to use, and how to judge whether an MS behaves correctly.

The standard is organized from general material to detailed test groups. It starts with scope, references, definitions, test equipment, general methodology, and reference test methods, then moves into call setup, radio measurements, mobility, Layer 2 and Layer 3 signaling, SIM/ME interface tests, bearer services, speech, supplementary services, SMS, low battery detection, and special conformance functions.

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 607-1 E6:2005?

General testing approach

Clauses 5 to 9 set the testing approach: optional functions are tested only when applicable, the test interfaces and facilities are defined, transmit and receive times are standardized, and measurement uncertainty is addressed. In practice, this is the part that makes results comparable between laboratories and prevents disputes about timing, setup, or borderline measurements.

Clause 6 gives the reference test methods, including the choice of frequencies in frequency hopping mode and the standard test signals and power control levels used for testing. This matters because the same MS can be exercised in different radio conditions, and the method fixes how those conditions are created.

Generic call setup and signaling

Clause 10 defines generic call set-up procedures for mobile terminating and mobile originating speech calls, and for mobile terminating and mobile originating data calls. Each procedure includes initial conditions, system information messages, a step-by-step message exchange, and specific message contents, so the reader can reproduce a basic call in a controlled way.

Clause 11 covers general tests such as support or non-support of numbering schemes, Advice of Charge Charging (AoCC), call hold, multiparty, Fixed Dialling Number (FDN), and IMEI Security. It also includes coding of the Bearer Capability information element, which is important because the network and the MS must agree on the service being requested.

Transceiver and transmitter performance

Clauses 12 and 13 cover conducted and radiated spurious emissions, frequency error, phase error, output power, burst timing, output RF spectrum, and intermodulation attenuation. These tests matter because they check whether the MS stays within radio limits both when it is active and when it is idle, and whether its transmitter behaves correctly under normal, vibration, and extreme conditions.

Clause 13.3 includes separate methods for equipment with a permanent antenna connector and equipment with an integral antenna. That distinction matters in test planning because the measurement setup changes with the hardware design.

Receiver performance and mobility behavior

Clause 14 covers bad frame indication, reference sensitivity, usable receiver input level range, co-channel rejection, adjacent channel rejection, intermodulation rejection, blocking and spurious response, and AM suppression. In practice, these tests show whether the MS can receive usable service in weak signal, interference, and fading conditions.

Clauses 15 to 19 cover timing advance, absolute delay, reception time tracking speed, access times during handover, temporary reception gaps, and channel release after unrecoverable errors. These are the kinds of behaviors that affect call continuity, so they matter for mobility, roaming, and stability during difficult radio transitions.

Cell selection and reselection

Clause 20 is a large block on cell selection and reselection. It covers basic cell selection, varying signal strength, priorities, running averages, updating the list of six strongest neighbour carriers, decoding BCCH and BSIC information from neighbour carriers, emergency calls, rejection cases such as “LA not allowed” and “Roaming not allowed in this LA,” and multiband cell selection and reselection.

This section matters because it verifies that the MS chooses cells and changes cells in a way that matches network rules and user expectations. It is especially important for devices that operate across multiple bands or that must recover correctly after loss of service.

Layer 2 and Layer 3 conformance

Clause 25 tests Layer 2 signaling functions such as frame sequence counting, acknowledgements, segmentation and concatenation, disconnection, link failures, incorrect C/R values, control field errors, and invalid frames. Clause 26 then tests Layer 3 functions, including channel request, IMSI attach and detach, idle-mode behavior, error handling, radio resource management, mobility management, call control, structured procedures, E-GSM signaling, multiband signaling, and Enhanced Full Rate signaling.

This is the core protocol-conformance part of the document. For a reader, it shows whether the MS handles message flow, error cases, and state changes correctly, not just whether it can place a successful call.

SIM/ME interface and terminal features

Clause 27 covers testing of the SIM/ME interface, including identification by IMSI and TMSI, forbidden PLMNs, PLMN selector lists, access control management, exchange protocol tests, answer to reset, clock stop, mechanical tests, secret code usage, Abbreviated Dialling Numbers (ADN), SIM status indication, power transition phases, contact-level electrical tests, FND, phase identification, SIM presence detection, and AoC-related behavior.

This matters because many real-world faults appear at the interface between the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and the Mobile Equipment (ME), especially during power transitions, authentication, or list updates.

Services and user-facing functions

Clauses 29 to 35 cover bearer services, speech teleservices, supplementary services, speech transcoding functions, Mobile Station features, Short Message Service (SMS), and low battery voltage detection. The coverage includes transparent and non-transparent data, facsimile, speech quality and acoustic characteristics, call forwarding, call restriction, USSD handling, SMS point-to-point and cell broadcast, and battery-related behavior.

For procurement or quality teams, this section is important because it shows the MS is tested not only as a radio terminal but also as a user device with data, voice, messaging, and service features.

Special test functions

Clause 36 covers individual equipment type requirements and interworking-special conformance testing functions, including internal test loops, Electrical Man Machine Interface (EMMI), Digital audio interface (DAI), and the SIM/ME test interface. These functions are used to support deeper verification and interfacing during conformance testing.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E6:2005 define?

• Mobile Station (MS) - the GSM terminal being tested for conformance, including its radio and protocol behavior.
• Mobile Equipment (ME) - the equipment part of the terminal that works with the SIM and user interface functions.
• Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) - the identity module used for subscriber access control and related tests.
• Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) - the channel used for cell information that supports selection and reselection tests.
• Traffic Channel Full Rate (TCH/FS) - a full-rate speech traffic channel used in speech and receiver tests.
• Traffic Channel Half Rate (TCH/HS) - a half-rate speech traffic channel used where half-rate speech support is tested.
• Advice of Charge Charging (AoCC) - the charging-related service whose support or non-support is checked in service tests.
• Fixed Dialling Number (FDN) - the feature that constrains dialing to permitted numbers and is verified in the SIM/ME tests.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 607-1 E6:2005?

Manufacturers of GSM Mobile Stations use this standard to design and verify terminal behavior before release. Test laboratories use it to run conformance tests in a consistent way, especially for radio performance, signaling, SIM/ME interaction, and service behavior.

Quality managers and compliance teams use it to confirm that a terminal meets the expected GSM Phase 2 test coverage. Buyers and operators use it when they need to check whether a device supports the call, data, messaging, and supplementary-service behavior required for deployment.

What changed in SIST ETS 300 607-1 E6:2005 from the previous edition?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E6:2005 is identical to ETS 300 607-1 Edition 6. The scope links this version to updates and clarifications in areas such as location updating, SIM/ME interface testing, transmission speed enhancement, fixed number dialling, multiband default message content, bearer capability coding, timing requirements, classmark change, enhanced full rate signaling, emergency call handling, and several DISC/UA and timer-related corrections.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 607-1 E6:2005?

Standard	What it contributes
GSM 05.05	Radio requirements used for emissions, spectrum, and transmitter-related conformance limits.
GSM 05.10	Timing and burst-related requirements used in frequency error, phase error, output power, and delay tests.
GSM 05.02	Compatibility behavior, including the phase 1 and phase 2 behavior noted in receiver testing.
GSM 02.07	Autocalling categories used in the restricted-dialing tests.

What does the SIST ETS 300 607-1 E6:2005 document contain?

The document contains test procedures rather than design theory. It uses a repeated structure of definition, applicability, conformance requirement, test purpose, method of test, and test requirement, so each clause can be applied directly in a lab.

It includes message-sequence procedures for mobile terminating and mobile originating calls, detailed Layer 2 and Layer 3 test sequences, and numerous service-specific cases for mobility management, call control, SIM behavior, and SMS. It also includes setup descriptions such as initial conditions, message contents, and stepwise procedures that support reproducible testing.

Where measurements are involved, the document uses tables, thresholds, timing relationships, and figures to define the setup and the acceptance behavior. That makes it useful for certification, acceptance testing, and troubleshooting because it gives a structured way to compare the MS response with the expected GSM behavior.
