Overview

SIST EN 300 940 V7.6.1:2005 defines the Layer 3 radio interface specification for the Digital Cellular Telecommunications System (GSM), Phase 2+. This Slovenian standard is aligned with the European standard EN 300 940 Version 7.6.1 and corresponds to GSM 04.08 version 7.6.1 Release 1998, forming a crucial part of the GSM system architecture. The standard focuses on the protocols and procedures for mobile radio communication between mobile devices and GSM networks, guiding the operation of essential cellular services such as call establishment, connection management, mobility, and radio resource allocation.

Key Topics

This standard encompasses several foundational aspects of GSM Layer 3, including:

• Radio Resource (RR) Management
  Procedures for establishing, maintaining, modifying, and releasing radio connections between the mobile station and the network.

• Mobility Management (MM) Mechanisms ensuring seamless service when a mobile station moves between cells or regions, including registration, authentication, and location update procedures.

• Call Control (CC) Setup, maintenance, and release of voice and data calls, integrating supplementary services and emergency call processing.

• Procedural Flows Definition of normal and abnormal operation cases for each operation, ensuring robust service continuity and error handling.

• Logical Channels Usage Specifications for logical channel assignments, paging, and information broadcasting within the network.

• Security and Ciphering Procedures for ciphering mode initiation and management, supporting secure communication over the radio interface.

• Support for Group and Broadcast Services Protocols for Voice Group Call Service (VGCS) and Voice Broadcast Service (VBS).

• Support for Packet Services Integration points for General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), detailing modes and state coordination for voice and data sessions in GSM networks.

Applications

SIST EN 300 940 V7.6.1:2005 has widespread relevance in telecommunications engineering and mobile network operation. Key practical applications include:

• Network Equipment Implementation Ensuring GSM base stations and controllers are interoperable and compliant with established protocol requirements for Layer 3.

• Mobile Device Compliance Guiding mobile device manufacturers in implementing GSM stack features for robust network access, SRVCC (Single Radio Voice Call Continuity), and seamless mobility.

• Testing and Certification Providing criteria for type approval testing, interoperability trials, and certification programs for GSM equipment and devices.

• Network Operation and Optimization Supporting network providers with specific behaviors for connection management, handover, paging, and resource distribution, aiding in troubleshooting and quality enhancement.

• Integration of Value-Added Services Facilitating advanced GSM services such as emergency call processing, group calling, and broadcast services by providing standardized procedures.

Related Standards

Several international and European standards are closely related to SIST EN 300 940 V7.6.1:2005, including:

• ETSI EN 300 940
  The corresponding ETSI standard for GSM Layer 3 radio interface protocol.

• GSM 04.08
  The core GSM specification detailing the Layer 3 protocols and procedures.

• 3GPP TS 24.008
  Technical specifications for Mobile Radio Interface Layer 3 in later GSM and UMTS systems.

• GSM 04.18 & GSM 03.20
  Supporting protocols relating to Radio Resource management and call control in GSM architecture.

• Relevant ITU-T Recommendations
  International guidelines for digital cellular telecommunications that ensure interoperability across global mobile networks.

By adhering to SIST EN 300 940 V7.6.1:2005, mobile network and equipment providers guarantee reliable performance, regulatory compliance, and seamless interoperability within GSM networks, supporting the foundation for digital cellular communication and further evolution towards advanced mobile systems.
