• Abstract:

  The purpose of this European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) is to de scribe typical attributes of different types of Mobile Stations (MS) t o be used on GSM PLMNs. The term GSM PLMN refers to a GSM, DCS 1 800 o r any PLMN based on the GSM specification, irrespective of the frequen cy band used. Manufacturers and customers may choose any appropriate combination of these attributes in order to fulfil their need while utilizing the ser vices offered through a GSM or a DCS 1 800 PLMN. This is not an exhaus tive list of attributes or types of MS. Type approval of MSs is addres sed in GSM 11.10.

Overview

SIST ETS 300 919 E3:2003 defines the typical attributes of different types of Mobile Stations (MS) used in GSM Phase 2+ digital cellular telecommunications systems, including both GSM and DCS 1800 Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs). This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) is relevant to all implementations of the GSM specification, regardless of the frequency band in use. The standard serves as a reference for manufacturers and network operators to identify and select appropriate MS configurations according to their operational needs and the services supported by GSM and DCS 1800 networks.

Key Topics

• Mobile Station Attributes: The standard categorizes MS attributes into:

  • Service Access Configuration: Flexible combinations of tele-, bearer, and supplementary services, tailored according to customer and manufacturer requirements.
  • Access Capability: Describes limitations on simultaneous tele- or bearer service provision, defined in associated GSM documents.
  • Modes of Use: Specifies differences between hand-held and vehicular-mounted MS types.

• Frequency Bands Support:

  • Standard GSM Band
  • Extended GSM Band
  • Railways GSM Band (R-GSM)
  • DCS 1800 Band
  • Support for multi-band operation and associated functionalities like handover, cell selection, and channel assignment.

• Service Rates:

  • Specification of Full Rate and Half Rate services. Mobile Stations may support either or both for each service.
  • Support for multiple speech codecs including Full Rate, Enhanced Full Rate, and Half Rate codecs.

• Multislot Capabilities:

  • Classification by multislot class, specifying operational capabilities in terms of transmit and receive slot usage (semiduplex/duplex).
  • Separation of multislot capability from other functional attributes for modular configuration.

• Definition of Mobile Station Types:

  • Hand-held MS: Typically with antenna integrated into equipment for direct user interaction.
  • Vehicular Mounted MS: With external antenna, intended for installation in vehicles like cars, trucks, trains, or ships.

• Output Power and Power Classes:

  • Classification of MS into different power classes based on output capacity, with specific categories for GSM and DCS 1800 bands.
  • Multi-band MS support multiple power classes as per supported bands.
  • Mandatory support for power control as commanded by the network.

Applications

• Device Manufacturing: Enables manufacturers to develop mobile devices with the desired set of attributes, ensuring compatibility with GSM and DCS 1800 networks across different regions and frequency bands.
• Network Planning: Assists network operators in evaluating and approving MS types based on compatibility, service capability, and power requirements relevant to their PLMN.
• Type Approval and Regulatory Compliance: Provides a framework for the assessment of device conformity, referencing relevant test and approval procedures detailed in associated standards.
• End-User Guidance: Helps end-users and organizations select suitable mobile devices for specific application scenarios, such as portable (handheld) use or fixed vehicular installations.

Related Standards

• GSM 01.04 (ETR 350): Abbreviations and acronyms for GSM systems.
• GSM 04.03: Channel structures and access capabilities for the MS-BSS interface.
• GSM 04.08 (ETS 300 940): Mobile radio interface layer 3 specification.
• GSM 05.02 (ETS 300 908): Multiplexing and multiple access on the radio path, including multislot class definitions.
• GSM 05.05 (ETS 300 910): Radio transmission and reception, including MS power classes and power control.
• GSM 11.10 (ETS 300 607): MS conformity specification, covering type approval procedures.

SIST ETS 300 919 E3:2003 is an essential standard for ensuring interoperability, reliable performance, and regulatory compliance within GSM and DCS 1800 digital cellular telecommunications networks. Its practical framework assists all stakeholders in the mobile communications sector to deploy robust, standardized mobile devices and services.
