4 Usage of Private Signalling System 1 (PSS1) for
TETRA
4.1 PSS1 Functionality
The TETRA ISI application can use the PSS1 protocol stack for interconnecting Private Integrated Network eXchanges
(PINXs) to form Private Integrated Services Network (PISN). PSS1 is the ISO term; the PSS1 protocol is also known,
informally, as QSIG, generic term created by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) which
developed most of the signalling protocols comprised in the PSS1 protocol.
TETRA uses the standard functionalities defined for PSS1:
• signalling for the support of circuit-mode basic services (see note);
• Generic Functional Protocol (GFP) originally defined for the support of supplementary services.
NOTE: The definition of PSS1 basic call is in ISO/IEC 11572 [9].
4.2 Protocol stack for signalling information
Figure 4.1 shows how the protocols for TETRA ANF, which apply at the ISI, are built on top of the PSS1 protocol
stack. The ISI APDU is used to convey ANF-ISI Protocol Data Units (PDU). The definition of ISI APDUs and the
handling of ISI APDUs in ETSI EN 300 392-3-9 [2] is a subset of the ROSE protocol description [i.1] and are treated as
ROSE APDUs in the PSS1 messages.

ETSI
13 Draft ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.0 (2019-08)
The protocol stack shown in figure 4.1 is for signalling information exchange on the common signalling channel
i.e. D-channel. LAPD framing as defined in ETSI ETS 300 402-1 [7] and ETSI ETS 300 402-2 [8] and E.1, refer to
Recommendation ITU-T G.704 [11], common signalling channel 16 shall be used. Protocol stack for user information
exchange is presented in clause 4.4.
4.3 Generic Functional Protocol (GFP)
The GFP as defined in ISO/IEC 11582 [10] shall be used for all TETRA ANFs of the ISI (ANF-ISI).
ISI operations shall be used to convey ANF-ISI information in Facility information elements, as described in clause 5.
These Facility information elements shall be included in PSS1 messages in accordance with ISO/IEC 11582 [10]. The
specification given in clause 7.1.1.1 of ISO/IEC 11582 [10] as to when an SwMI can send a PSS1 FACILITY message
at the earliest shall be understood as follows:
• such message can be sent by a receiving SwMI after it has sent a PSS1 CALL PROCEEDING message
(following reception of a PSS1 SETUP message);
• such message can be sent by a source SwMI after it has received one of the following PSS1 messages:
FACILITY, PROGRESS, ALERTING, CONNECT.
When the call independent signalling connection is used, it shall be connection oriented.
NOTE: This is in line with the choice made for the definition of all existing supplementary services of the PSS1
protocols.
4.4 Protocol stack for user information
Call control manages transportation of user information e.g. TETRA coded speech on B channels as presented in
Q
figure 4.2. In this protocol stack the E.1 channels are 64 kbit/s channels supporting unrestricted digital information,
refer to Recommendation ITU-T G.704 [11].

It has been assumed that these connections will be digital, their standard data rate being 64 kbit/s.
Clause 4.4 presents the protocol stack for user information transport and its relation to the call control.
5 ISI Generic Functional Protocol (ISI GFP)
5.1 Protocol model
The TETRA ISI over E.1 is based on the PSS1 protocols stack in order to enable the interconnection of SwMIs through
a PISN. Signalling needs for TETRA ISI operation, which are not directly supported by PSS1 basic call protocols, are
provided by ISI Mediation Function.
The ISI Mediation Function does not by itself control sending of any ANF-ISI PDUs but rather provides a means to
convey them.
ETSI
15 Draft ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.0 (2019-08)
Figure 5.1 shows the conceptual model of the ISI GFP. The generic ISI Mediation Function includes a Call Control
function, a Coordination Function, ROSE (implementing the PDU Identification service), a Segmentation Service (for
segmentation of messages) and the Generic Functional Transport Control (implementing the Connection Service).

Figure 5.1: Protocol model of the ISI Generic Functional Protocol
The entities PSS1 Protocol Control (PC), Generic Functional Transport Control (GFT Control), Co-ordination Function,
Call Control and ROSE shall exist in any E.1 based SwMI which supports the ISI. The existence in a SwMI of the other
entities shown on figure 5.1 shall depend on the ANF-ISIs supported by this SwMI.
5.2 Services provided by the protocol model entities
ANF entities (i.e. ANF-ISIIC, ANF-ISIGC, ANF-ISISDS, ANF-ISISS and ANF-ISIMM entities) use the services of the
ROSE entity via the Coordination Function in order to convey ANF-ISI PDUs between TETRA networks.
ISI Application Protocol Data Units (ISI APDUs) are carried inside the Facility information elements, as described in
clause 4.3. These Facility information elements shall be included in PSS1 messages in accordance with
ISO/IEC 11582 [10].
The ISI APDUs shall be those specified in ETSI EN 300 392-3-9 [2]. As ROSE is used as network protocol in Facility
information elements the ISI APDUs are treated as ROSE APDUs in the PSS1 messages.
If an ISI APDU is call independent and its length exceeds its possible maximum, the Coordination Function shall
address it to the Segmentation Service Element (SSE) so that this ISI APDU can be transparently transported in spite of
its length (see clause 5.6). The same shall apply for a call related ISI APDU with a length exceeding its possible
maximum provided that it does not have to be sent in a specific PSS1 basic call message.
ETSI
16 Draft ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.0 (2019-08)
ROSE and SSE shall use the connection oriented services of GFT Control as defined in clause 6.7.1 of
ISO/IEC 11582 [10], via the Coordination Function. GFT Control in turn shall use the PSS1 Protocol Control (PC)
services as defined in clause 6.8 of ISO/IEC 11582 [10]. GFT control provides services to establish and release of Call
independent signalling connections and also transport services for the carriage of call related or call independent ISI
APDUs between different PINXs. The corresponding PISN protocols are defined in clauses 7.1 and 7.3 of
ISO/IEC 11582 [10]. The interaction between ROSE users (ISI-ANFs), ROSE itself, SSE and GFT Control is
co-ordinated by the Coordination Function.
ANF-ISIIC and ANF-ISIGC use PC services for sending PSS1 call messages over PISN as defined in
ISO/IEC 11572 [9]. They also use the extensions of PC services and the connection oriented services of GFT Control
together with the services of ROSE and of the Coordination Function to convey their PDUs, as defined in
ISO/IEC 11582 [10] to convey ISI APDUs. The ANF-ISIIC and ANF-ISIGC PDUs carry either:
• complementary TETRA call information, in PSS1 basic call messages; or
• TETRA call related messages, in PSS1 FACILITY messages.
ANF-ISIMM and ANF-ISISDS also use the extensions of PC services and the connection oriented services of
GFT Control together with the services of ROSE and of the Coordination Function to convey their PDUs, as defined in
ISO/IEC 11582 [10]. However the procedures which apply for the transport of the ISI APDUs conveying their PDUs
are the connection oriented call independent procedures defined in clause 7.3 of ISO/IEC 11582 [10].
NOTE 1: No PSS1 call related procedures, as defined in clause 7.1 of ISO/IEC 11582 [10], apply for transmitting
the ISI APDUs conveying the ANF-ISIMM PDUs because all MM information is TETRA call
independent and no need has been found to send any of that exchanged between SwMIs (over their ISIs)
as PISN user information (i.e. using a B channel, possibly more, as transmission channel for the
Q
ANF-ISIMM PDUs). Similarly for ANF-ISISDS, no need has been found to send any of the SDS
information exchanged between SwMIs (over their ISIs) as PISN user information (i.e. using a B
Q
channel, possibly more, as transmission channel for the ANF-ISISDS PDUs): i.e. although from a formal
point of view the sending of SDS messages can be considered as a TETRA call (in taking the definition of
a call as being the instance of a basic service and considering that SDS is a TETRA basic service), the
decision has been taken not to establish any PISN call to convey SDS information over the ISI.
NOTE 2: According to the definition of the connection oriented call independent procedures in
ISO/IEC 11582 [10], ISI APDUs conveying call independent ANF-ISI PDUs (e.g. ANF-ISIMM or
ANF-ISISDS PDUs) may be sent in the PSS1 messages which establish the related call independent
signalling connection.
ANF-ISISS uses the same services as ANF-ISIMM and ANF-ISISDS for its call independent procedures. It uses the
connection oriented services of GFT Control and the related extensions of PC services, both as defined in
ISO/IEC 11582 [10], for its call related procedures.
NOTE 3: The latter statement implies that ANF-ISISS uses the signalling connections of either ANF-ISIIC or
ANF-ISIGC for its call related procedure.
5.3 Addressing and Message Content
5.3.1 PSS1 Message Content
5.3.1.1 PISN Addressing
When PINXs are connected together within a Private Integrated Services Network (PISN) then according to
ISO/IEC 11572 [9] the Called party number and Calling Party Number are used to route the PSS1 messages between
the source and the destination PINX possibly via one or several transit PINX(s). Each TETRA SwMI shall in that case
be assigned at least one PISN number.
PSS1 SETUP messages shall be include a PISN number of with the source SwMI as Calling Party Number and a PISN
number of the destination SwMI PISN numbers as Called Party Number.
ETSI
17 Draft ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.0 (2019-08)
If a call is forward switched the PISN number of the forward switching SwMI (i.e. source SwMI of second PSS1
SETUP message) shall be included as Calling Party Number in the PSS1 SETUP message between the forward
switching SwMI and the terminating SwMI (i.e. destination SwMI of the second PSS1 SETUP message).
The PISN numbers to address the correct PINX of another TETRA network can be obtained as follows:
• received inside a TETRA PDU in some previous message exchange (more precisely, the PISN number will
have been received in ANF-ISIMM in relation to the migration of the MS; or
• defined by a routing table on the basis of the SwMI MNI.
The PISN numbers defined above shall always correspond to SwMIs or SwMI entities, and never to any TETRA
subscriber. A TETRA individual subscriber shall be addressed using its ITSI and a TETRA group using its GTSI. This
ITSI or GTSI shall thus have to be included in the ANF-ISI PDUs whenever needed.
NOTE: If there is a semi-permanent E1 connection between two TETRA SwMIs, the use of the PISN numbers of
Calling Party Number and Called Party Number information elements are not applicable for routing
purposes. However the information elements have to be always present in PSS1 Setup message.

1 Scope
The present document defines the transport of the Inter-System Interface (ISI) using PSS1 as transport layer. It
specifies:
• the PSS1 signalling used for transport of ISI APDUs; and
• the general protocol mechanism, called ISI Mediation Function which coordinates the communication between
TETRA systems.
The ISI Mediation Function applies to any TETRA Switching and Management Infrastructure (SwMI) which supports
the ISI.

4 Usage of Private Signalling System 1 (PSS1) for
TETRA
4.1 PSS1 Functionality
The TETRA ISI application can use the PSS1 protocol stack for interconnecting Private Integrated Network eXchanges
(PINXs) to form Private Integrated Services Network (PISN). PSS1 is the ISO term; the PSS1 protocol is also known,
informally, as QSIG, generic term created by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) which
developed most of the signalling protocols comprised in the PSS1 protocol.
TETRA uses the standard functionalities defined for PSS1:
• signalling for the support of circuit-mode basic services (see note);
• Generic Functional Protocol (GFP) originally defined for the support of supplementary services.
NOTE: The definition of PSS1 basic call is in ISO/IEC 11572 [9].
4.2 Protocol stack for signalling information
Figure 4.1 shows how the protocols for TETRA ANF, which apply at the ISI, are built on top of the PSS1 protocol
stack. The ISI APDU is used to convey ANF-ISI Protocol Data Units (PDU). The definition of ISI APDUs and the
handling of ISI APDUs in ETSI EN 300 392-3-9 [2] is a subset of the ROSE protocol description according to
Recommendation ITU-T X.882 [i.1] and are treated as ROSE APDUs in the PSS1 messages.

Figure 4.1: PSS1 protocol stack for TETRA
ETSI
13 ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.1 (2020-04)
The protocol stack shown in figure 4.1 is for signalling information exchange on the common signalling channel
i.e. D-channel. LAPD framing as defined in ETSI ETS 300 402-1 [7] and ETSI ETS 300 402-2 [8] and E.1, refer to
Recommendation ITU-T G.704 [11], common signalling channel 16 shall be used. Protocol stack for user information
exchange is presented in clause 4.4.
4.3 Generic Functional Protocol (GFP)
The GFP as defined in ISO/IEC 11582 [10] shall be used for all TETRA ANFs of the ISI (ANF-ISI).
ISI operations shall be used to convey ANF-ISI information in Facility information elements, as described in clause 5.
These Facility information elements shall be included in PSS1 messages in accordance with ISO/IEC 11582 [10]. The
specification given in clause 7.1.1.1 of ISO/IEC 11582 [10] as to when an SwMI can send a PSS1 FACILITY message
at the earliest shall be understood as follows:
• such message can be sent by a receiving SwMI after it has sent a PSS1 CALL PROCEEDING message
(following reception of a PSS1 SETUP message);
• such message can be sent by a source SwMI after it has received one of the following PSS1 messages:
FACILITY, PROGRESS, ALERTING, CONNECT.
When the call independent signalling connection is used, it shall be connection oriented.
NOTE: This is in line with the choice made for the definition of all existing supplementary services of the PSS1
protocols.
4.4 Protocol stack for user information
Call control manages transportation of user information e.g. TETRA coded speech on B channels as presented in
Q
figure 4.2. In this protocol stack the E.1 channels are 64 kbit/s channels supporting unrestricted digital information,
refer to Recommendation ITU-T G.704 [11].

is defined in ETSI EN 300 392-3-8 [1], annex A. Call control signalling (ETSI EN 300 392-3-12 [3] and ETSI
EN 300 392-3-13 [4]), LAPD framing (ETSI ETS 300 402-1 [7] and ETSI ETS 300 402-2 [8]) and E.1 common
signalling channel 16 are presented in figure 4.1 for call control.
ETSI
14 ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.1 (2020-04)
All or a sub-set of B channels 1 to 15 and 17 to 31 shall be considered to be available for user information transport as
Q
negotiated at the PSS1 connection negotiation. It can be assumed that the B channels are physically connected at the
Q
same time as the LAPD connection is set-up on the common control channel and there shall be no additional E.1
channel set-up signalling at the link layer.
4.5 User information encoding at the ISI
Whether in a group call or in an individual call, the user information shall be sent over ISI user information
connections, which will be considered as B channels by the PSS1 protocols used to establish these calls.
Q
It has been assumed that these connections will be digital, their standard data rate being 64 kbit/s.
Clause 4.4 presents the protocol stack for user information transport and its relation to the call control.
5 ISI Generic Functional Protocol (ISI GFP)
5.1 Protocol model
The TETRA ISI over E.1 is based on the PSS1 protocols stack in order to enable the interconnection of SwMIs through
a PISN. Signalling needs for TETRA ISI operation, which are not directly supported by PSS1 basic call protocols, are
provided by ISI Mediation Function.
The ISI Mediation Function does not by itself control sending of any ANF-ISI PDUs but rather provides a means to
convey them.
ETSI
15 ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.1 (2020-04)
Figure 5.1 shows the conceptual model of the ISI GFP. The generic ISI Mediation Function includes a Call Control
function, a Coordination Function, ROSE (implementing the PDU Identification service), a Segmentation Service (for
segmentation of messages) and the Generic Functional Transport Control (implementing the Connection Service).

ROSE: Remote Operation Service
SSE: Segmentation Service
GFT: Generic Functional Transport

Figure 5.1: Protocol model of the ISI Generic Functional Protocol
The entities PSS1 Protocol Control (PC), Generic Functional Transport Control (GFT Control), Co-ordination Function,
Call Control and ROSE shall exist in any E.1 based SwMI which supports the ISI. The existence in a SwMI of the other
entities shown on figure 5.1 shall depend on the ANF-ISIs supported by this SwMI.
5.2 Services provided by the protocol model entities
ANF entities (i.e. ANF-ISIIC, ANF-ISIGC, ANF-ISISDS, ANF-ISISS and ANF-ISIMM entities) use the services of the
ROSE entity via the Coordination Function in order to convey ANF-ISI PDUs between TETRA networks.
ISI Application Protocol Data Units (ISI APDUs) are carried inside the Facility information elements, as described in
clause 4.3. These Facility information elements shall be included in PSS1 messages in accordance with
ISO/IEC 11582 [10].
The ISI APDUs shall be those specified in ETSI EN 300 392-3-9 [2]. As ROSE is used as network protocol in Facility
information elements the ISI APDUs are treated as ROSE APDUs in the PSS1 messages.
If an ISI APDU is call independent and its length exceeds its possible maximum, the Coordination Function shall
address it to the Segmentation Service Element (SSE) so that this ISI APDU can be transparently transported in spite of
its length (see clause 5.6). The same shall apply for a call related ISI APDU with a length exceeding its possible
maximum provided that it does not have to be sent in a specific PSS1 basic call message.
ETSI
16 ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.1 (2020-04)
ROSE and SSE shall use the connection oriented services of GFT Control as defined in clause 6.7.1 of
ISO/IEC 11582 [10], via the Coordination Function. GFT Control in turn shall use the PSS1 Protocol Control (PC)
services as defined in clause 6.8 of ISO/IEC 11582 [10]. GFT control provides services to establish and release of Call
independent signalling connections and also transport services for the carriage of call related or call independent ISI
APDUs between different PINXs. The corresponding PISN protocols are defined in clauses 7.1 and 7.3 of
ISO/IEC 11582 [10]. The interaction between ROSE users (ISI-ANFs), ROSE itself, SSE and GFT Control is
co-ordinated by the Coordination Function.
ANF-ISIIC and ANF-ISIGC use PC services for sending PSS1 call messages over PISN as defined in
ISO/IEC 11572 [9]. They also use the extensions of PC services and the connection oriented services of GFT Control
together with the services of ROSE and of the Coordination Function to convey their PDUs, as defined in
ISO/IEC 11582 [10] to convey ISI APDUs. The ANF-ISIIC and ANF-ISIGC PDUs carry either:
• complementary TETRA call information, in PSS1 basic call messages; or
• TETRA call related messages, in PSS1 FACILITY messages.
ANF-ISIMM and ANF-ISISDS also use the extensions of PC services and the connection oriented services of
GFT Control together with the services of ROSE and of the Coordination Function to convey their PDUs, as defined in
ISO/IEC 11582 [10]. However the procedures which apply for the transport of the ISI APDUs conveying their PDUs
are the connection oriented call independent procedures defined in clause 7.3 of ISO/IEC 11582 [10].
NOTE 1: No PSS1 call related procedures, as defined in clause 7.1 of ISO/IEC 11582 [10], apply for transmitting
the ISI APDUs conveying the ANF-ISIMM PDUs because all MM information is TETRA call
independent and no need has been found to send any of that exchanged between SwMIs (over their ISIs)
as PISN user information (i.e. using a B channel, possibly more, as transmission channel for the
Q
ANF-ISIMM PDUs). Similarly for ANF-ISISDS, no need has been found to send any of the SDS
information exchanged between SwMIs (over their ISIs) as PISN user information (i.e. using a B
Q
channel, possibly more, as transmission channel for the ANF-ISISDS PDUs): i.e. although from a formal
point of view the sending of SDS messages can be considered as a TETRA call (in taking the definition of
a call as being the instance of a basic service and considering that SDS is a TETRA basic service), the
decision has been taken not to establish any PISN call to convey SDS information over the ISI.
NOTE 2: According to the definition of the connection oriented call independent procedures in
ISO/IEC 11582 [10], ISI APDUs conveying call independent ANF-ISI PDUs (e.g. ANF-ISIMM or
ANF-ISISDS PDUs) may be sent in the PSS1 messages which establish the related call independent
signalling connection.
ANF-ISISS uses the same services as ANF-ISIMM and ANF-ISISDS for its call independent procedures. It uses the
connection oriented services of GFT Control and the related extensions of PC services, both as defined in
ISO/IEC 11582 [10], for its call related procedures.
NOTE 3: The latter statement implies that ANF-ISISS uses the signalling connections of either ANF-ISIIC or
ANF-ISIGC for its call related procedure.
5.3 Addressing and Message Content
5.3.1 PSS1 Message Content
5.3.1.1 PISN Addressing
When PINXs are connected together within a Private Integrated Services Network (PISN) then according to
ISO/IEC 11572 [9] the Called party number and Calling Party Number are used to route the PSS1 messages between
the source and the destination PINX possibly via one or several transit PINX(s). Each TETRA SwMI shall in that case
be assigned at least one PISN number.
PSS1 SETUP messages shall be include a PISN number of with the source SwMI as Calling Party Number and a PISN
number of the destination SwMI PISN numbers as Called Party Number.
ETSI
17 ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.1 (2020-04)
If a call is forward switched the PISN number of the forward switching SwMI (i.e. source SwMI of second PSS1
SETUP message) shall be included as Calling Party Number in the PSS1 SETUP message between the forward
switching SwMI and the terminating SwMI (i.e. destination SwMI of the second PSS1 SETUP message).
The PISN numbers to address the correct PINX of another TETRA network can be obtained as follows:
• received inside a TETRA PDU in some previous message exchange (more precisely, the PISN number will
have been received in ANF-ISIMM in relation to the migration of the MS; or
• defined by a routing table on the basis of the SwMI MNI.
The PISN numbers defined above shall always correspond to SwMIs or SwMI entities, and never to any TETRA
subscriber. A TETRA individual subscriber shall be addressed using its ITSI and a TETRA group using its GTSI. This
ITSI or GTSI shall thus have to be included in the ANF-ISI PDUs whenever needed.
NOTE: If there is a semi-permanent E1 connection between two TETRA SwMIs, the use of the PISN numbers of
Calling Party Number and Called Party Number information elements are not applicable for routing
purposes. However the information elements have to be always present in PSS1 Setup message.
5.3.1.2 Basic PSS1 Parameter Content
The following rules shall apply for information elements of the PSS1 SETUP message:
• The sending complete information element shall always be included (no overlap sending supported).
• No progress indicator information element shall be included.
• The numbering plan identification shall be

4 Usage of Private Signalling System 1 (PSS1) for
TETRA
4.1 PSS1 Functionality
The TETRA ISI application can use the PSS1 protocol stack for interconnecting Private Integrated Network eXchanges
(PINXs) to form Private Integrated Services Network (PISN). PSS1 is the ISO term; the PSS1 protocol is also known,
informally, as QSIG, generic term created by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) which
developed most of the signalling protocols comprised in the PSS1 protocol.
TETRA uses the standard functionalities defined for PSS1:
• signalling for the support of circuit-mode basic services (see note);
• Generic Functional Protocol (GFP) originally defined for the support of supplementary services.
NOTE: The definition of PSS1 basic call is in ISO/IEC 11572 [9].
4.2 Protocol stack for signalling information
Figure 4.1 shows how the protocols for TETRA ANF, which apply at the ISI, are built on top of the PSS1 protocol
stack. The ISI APDU is used to convey ANF-ISI Protocol Data Units (PDU). The definition of ISI APDUs and the
handling of ISI APDUs in ETSI EN 300 392-3-9 [2] is a subset of the ROSE protocol description according to
Recommendation ITU-T X.882 [i.1] and are treated as ROSE APDUs in the PSS1 messages.

Figure 4.1: PSS1 protocol stack for TETRA
ETSI
13 ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.1 (2020-04)
The protocol stack shown in figure 4.1 is for signalling information exchange on the common signalling channel
i.e. D-channel. LAPD framing as defined in ETSI ETS 300 402-1 [7] and ETSI ETS 300 402-2 [8] and E.1, refer to
Recommendation ITU-T G.704 [11], common signalling channel 16 shall be used. Protocol stack for user information
exchange is presented in clause 4.4.
4.3 Generic Functional Protocol (GFP)
The GFP as defined in ISO/IEC 11582 [10] shall be used for all TETRA ANFs of the ISI (ANF-ISI).
ISI operations shall be used to convey ANF-ISI information in Facility information elements, as described in clause 5.
These Facility information elements shall be included in PSS1 messages in accordance with ISO/IEC 11582 [10]. The
specification given in clause 7.1.1.1 of ISO/IEC 11582 [10] as to when an SwMI can send a PSS1 FACILITY message
at the earliest shall be understood as follows:
• such message can be sent by a receiving SwMI after it has sent a PSS1 CALL PROCEEDING message
(following reception of a PSS1 SETUP message);
• such message can be sent by a source SwMI after it has received one of the following PSS1 messages:
FACILITY, PROGRESS, ALERTING, CONNECT.
When the call independent signalling connection is used, it shall be connection oriented.
NOTE: This is in line with the choice made for the definition of all existing supplementary services of the PSS1
protocols.
4.4 Protocol stack for user information
Call control manages transportation of user information e.g. TETRA coded speech on B channels as presented in
Q
figure 4.2. In this protocol stack the E.1 channels are 64 kbit/s channels supporting unrestricted digital information,
refer to Recommendation ITU-T G.704 [11].

call instance and locally select the negotiated B channel. The mapping between TETRA ISI channels and B channels
Q Q
is defined in ETSI EN 300 392-3-8 [1], annex A. Call control signalling (ETSI EN 300 392-3-12 [3] and ETSI
EN 300 392-3-13 [4]), LAPD framing (ETSI ETS 300 402-1 [7] and ETSI ETS 300 402-2 [8]) and E.1 common
signalling channel 16 are presented in figure 4.1 for call control.
ETSI
14 ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.1 (2020-04)
All or a sub-set of B channels 1 to 15 and 17 to 31 shall be considered to be available for user information transport as
Q
negotiated at the PSS1 connection negotiation. It can be assumed that the B channels are physically connected at the
Q
same time as the LAPD connection is set-up on the common control channel and there shall be no additional E.1
channel set-up signalling at the link layer.
4.5 User information encoding at the ISI
Whether in a group call or in an individual call, the user information shall be sent over ISI user information
connections, which will be considered as B channels by the PSS1 protocols used to establish these calls.
Q
It has been assumed that these connections will be digital, their standard data rate being 64 kbit/s.
Clause 4.4 presents the protocol stack for user information transport and its relation to the call control.
5 ISI Generic Functional Protocol (ISI GFP)
5.1 Protocol model
The TETRA ISI over E.1 is based on the PSS1 protocols stack in order to enable the interconnection of SwMIs through
a PISN. Signalling needs for TETRA ISI operation, which are not directly supported by PSS1 basic call protocols, are
provided by ISI Mediation Function.
The ISI Mediation Function does not by itself control sending of any ANF-ISI PDUs but rather provides a means to
convey them.
ETSI
15 ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.1 (2020-04)
Figure 5.1 shows the conceptual model of the ISI GFP. The generic ISI Mediation Function includes a Call Control
function, a Coordination Function, ROSE (implementing the PDU Identification service), a Segmentation Service (for
segmentation of messages) and the Generic Functional Transport Control (implementing the Connection Service).

ROSE: Remote Operation Service
SSE: Segmentation Service
GFT: Generic Functional Transport

Figure 5.1: Protocol model of the ISI Generic Functional Protocol
The entities PSS1 Protocol Control (PC), Generic Functional Transport Control (GFT Control), Co-ordination Function,
Call Control and ROSE shall exist in any E.1 based SwMI which supports the ISI. The existence in a SwMI of the other
entities shown on figure 5.1 shall depend on the ANF-ISIs supported by this SwMI.
5.2 Services provided by the protocol model entities
ANF entities (i.e. ANF-ISIIC, ANF-ISIGC, ANF-ISISDS, ANF-ISISS and ANF-ISIMM entities) use the services of the
ROSE entity via the Coordination Function in order to convey ANF-ISI PDUs between TETRA networks.
ISI Application Protocol Data Units (ISI APDUs) are carried inside the Facility information elements, as described in
clause 4.3. These Facility information elements shall be included in PSS1 messages in accordance with
ISO/IEC 11582 [10].
The ISI APDUs shall be those specified in ETSI EN 300 392-3-9 [2]. As ROSE is used as network protocol in Facility
information elements the ISI APDUs are treated as ROSE APDUs in the PSS1 messages.
If an ISI APDU is call independent and its length exceeds its possible maximum, the Coordination Function shall
address it to the Segmentation Service Element (SSE) so that this ISI APDU can be transparently transported in spite of
its length (see clause 5.6). The same shall apply for a call related ISI APDU with a length exceeding its possible
maximum provided that it does not have to be sent in a specific PSS1 basic call message.
ETSI
16 ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.1 (2020-04)
ROSE and SSE shall use the connection oriented services of GFT Control as defined in clause 6.7.1 of
ISO/IEC 11582 [10], via the Coordination Function. GFT Control in turn shall use the PSS1 Protocol Control (PC)
services as defined in clause 6.8 of ISO/IEC 11582 [10]. GFT control provides services to establish and release of Call
independent signalling connections and also transport services for the carriage of call related or call independent ISI
APDUs between different PINXs. The corresponding PISN protocols are defined in clauses 7.1 and 7.3 of
ISO/IEC 11582 [10]. The interaction between ROSE users (ISI-ANFs), ROSE itself, SSE and GFT Control is
co-ordinated by the Coordination Function.
ANF-ISIIC and ANF-ISIGC use PC services for sending PSS1 call messages over PISN as defined in
ISO/IEC 11572 [9]. They also use the extensions of PC services and the connection oriented services of GFT Control
together with the services of ROSE and of the Coordination Function to convey their PDUs, as defined in
ISO/IEC 11582 [10] to convey ISI APDUs. The ANF-ISIIC and ANF-ISIGC PDUs carry either:
• complementary TETRA call information, in PSS1 basic call messages; or
• TETRA call related messages, in PSS1 FACILITY messages.
ANF-ISIMM and ANF-ISISDS also use the extensions of PC services and the connection oriented services of
GFT Control together with the services of ROSE and of the Coordination Function to convey their PDUs, as defined in
ISO/IEC 11582 [10]. However the procedures which apply for the transport of the ISI APDUs conveying their PDUs
are the connection oriented call independent procedures defined in clause 7.3 of ISO/IEC 11582 [10].
NOTE 1: No PSS1 call related procedures, as defined in clause 7.1 of ISO/IEC 11582 [10], apply for transmitting
the ISI APDUs conveying the ANF-ISIMM PDUs because all MM information is TETRA call
independent and no need has been found to send any of that exchanged between SwMIs (over their ISIs)
as PISN user information (i.e. using a B channel, possibly more, as transmission channel for the
Q
ANF-ISIMM PDUs). Similarly for ANF-ISISDS, no need has been found to send any of the SDS
information exchanged between SwMIs (over their ISIs) as PISN user information (i.e. using a B
Q
channel, possibly more, as transmission channel for the ANF-ISISDS PDUs): i.e. although from a formal
point of view the sending of SDS messages can be considered as a TETRA call (in taking the definition of
a call as being the instance of a basic service and considering that SDS is a TETRA basic service), the
decision has been taken not to establish any PISN call to convey SDS information over the ISI.
NOTE 2: According to the definition of the connection oriented call independent procedures in
ISO/IEC 11582 [10], ISI APDUs conveying call independent ANF-ISI PDUs (e.g. ANF-ISIMM or
ANF-ISISDS PDUs) may be sent in the PSS1 messages which establish the related call independent
signalling connection.
ANF-ISISS uses the same services as ANF-ISIMM and ANF-ISISDS for its call independent procedures. It uses the
connection oriented services of GFT Control and the related extensions of PC services, both as defined in
ISO/IEC 11582 [10], for its call related procedures.
NOTE 3: The latter statement implies that ANF-ISISS uses the signalling connections of either ANF-ISIIC or
ANF-ISIGC for its call related procedure.
5.3 Addressing and Message Content
5.3.1 PSS1 Message Content
5.3.1.1 PISN Addressing
When PINXs are connected together within a Private Integrated Services Network (PISN) then according to
ISO/IEC 11572 [9] the Called party number and Calling Party Number are used to route the PSS1 messages between
the source and the destination PINX possibly via one or several transit PINX(s). Each TETRA SwMI shall in that case
be assigned at least one PISN number.
PSS1 SETUP messages shall be include a PISN number of with the source SwMI as Calling Party Number and a PISN
number of the destination SwMI PISN numbers as Called Party Number.
ETSI
17 ETSI EN 300 392-3-10 V1.2.1 (2020-04)
If a call is forward switched the PISN number of the forward switching SwMI (i.e. source SwMI of second PSS1
SETUP message) shall be inclu
