ETSIEN 300 931 V6.0.1 (1999-09)8(GSM 03.45 version 6.0.1 Release 1997)1Service definitionThe fixed network Group 3 Facsimile service, as basically defined in CCITT Recommendation F.160, is an internationaltelematic service for ISO A4 document transmission between two facsimile stations.The service specification is comprised of two parts: the control protocol described in CCITT Recommendation T.30,and the document transmission coding described in CCITT Recommendation T.4.The GSM facsimile Teleservice is intended to allow facsimile connections between group 3 apparatus using:-a GSM PLMN as a stand alone facility, for mobile to mobile communication;-a GSM PLMN to gain access to fixed networks PSTN and ISDN, for mobile to/from land communication.For this Teleservice, the document coding is as CCITT Recommendation T.4 with no modifications. The protocol usedis CCITT Recommendation T.30 modified within the PLMN as detailed in the present document.The interworking between different networks is based on CCITT Recommendation X.300.The particular features of this Teleservice are:-it uses point-point communication;-the information transfer capability is dual "Speech"/"Group 3 Facsimile" for Teleservice 61 and "Group 3Facsimile" only for Teleservice 62;-both mobile originated and terminated calls are supported;-the information transfer mode is circuit, duplex, synchronous and symmetric;-different end-to-end transfer rates are used within the same call to take advantage of the better radio path errorrate;-use of a standard synchronous terminal adaptation function (as per GSM 07.03) within the MS.2Network architectureThe network architecture applicable to this Teleservice is shown in figure 1/03.45, below.FAXBSSMSC/IWFPSTNISDNPLMNvMTvFAXFigure 1/03.45: Network architectureThis shows the case of mobile to fixed network interworking.

Mobile Station FAX Adapt.FAX Adapt.FAX Adapt.FAX Adapt.Figure 2/03.45: Reference configurationsThe Teleservice definition in GSM 02.03 regards the group 3 facsimile terminal as a 2-wire analogue terminatedequipment. In order to connect this to the MT2 a separate "Fax Adaptor" device is necessary.This configuration, shown in figure 2a/03.45, has to be considered as the standard configuration, so that all the existingGroup 3 facsimile apparatus can be connected to the PLMN.An alternative realization would be to combine a standard group 3 facsimile machine and the Fax Adaptor into aspecially developed "GSM facsimile machine", directly providing a digital output. Although such a device must appearto the MT2 as identical to the Fax Adaptor (i.e. with an identical interface and protocol), it would allow for asignificantly smaller and simpler facsimile machine. This configuration is shown in figure 2d/03.45 and is regarded as adesirable alternative.In addition of course, it is always possible to realize an MT0, as per figure 2f/03.45, where both the facsimile andmobile termination functions are considered to be part of one integrated unit.The remaining configurations concern the use of an S interface and are considered as optional configurations. Their useis for further study.The particular terminal adaptation functions used are those detailed in GSM 07.03 and the interface to the MT2 used issynchronous V.24 with an option for support of V.25bis procedures for autocalling and autoanswering.SIST EN 300 931 V6.0.1:2003

Manipulations are only made to the protocol where necessary toovercome problems resulting from the differences between the PSTN and the GSM system. Basically, these problemsfall into four categories:-supporting facsimile on a digital connection type;-bit errors during transfer of BCS frames;-the need to change speed to reduce the impact of bit errors during transfer of Fax encoded Messages;-inability to support some features of T.30.4.2.1Link control strategyThough the T.30 procedure is plain half-duplex, between the FAs at both the GSM PLMN ends a full-duplex modeconnection will be established.
