Page 7ETS 300 788: July 19971ScopeThis European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines the functional capabilities and informationflows for the scenarios where Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) basic services areprovided via the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications System (DECT) air interface for the casethat the DECT network elements are interconnected with the GSM Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN)via Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) interfaces.The general description of the service requirements are specified in ETS 300 787 [1].The following core features are covered by this ETS:-outgoing calls;-emergency calls;-incoming calls;-location updating, location cancellation;-IMSI attach/detach;-TMSI reallocation procedure (temporary identity assign);-IMSI authentication;-ciphering;-identity request.Handover, which is another Mobility Management (MM) service, is outside the scope of this ETS.The service is produced in three stages according to the method specified inCCITT Recommendation I.130 [6]. Stage 2 identifies the Functional Entities (FEs) involved in the serviceand the information flows between them. This ETS is specified according to the methodology specified inCCITT Recommendation Q.65 [7].The purpose of the stage 2 specification is to guide and constrain the work on signalling protocols atstage 3, while fulfilling the requirements of stage 1. Stage 1 and stage 3 are defined in separatestandards.This ETS distinguishes DECT access networks from the global network. The DECT access networkprovides the point of attachment for the served user and ensures a transparent access to the GSMservices. The global network is the GSM PLMN or network of GSM PLMNs which provides the serveduser with the global service specified in this ETS. The specification of information flows within the globalnetwork (e.g. between Mobile Switching Centres (MSCs), Home Location Register (HLR) and VisitorLocation Register (VLR)) is beyond the scope of this ETS.Furthermore, conformance to this ETS is met by conforming to the stage 3 standards which fulfil therequirements of this ETS that are relevant to the equipment for which the stage 3 standard applies.Therefore no method of testing is provided for this ETS.SIST ETS 300 788:2001

This does however not exclude that it may in addition provide services andswitching capabilities to its own users.DECT Fixed Part (FP): A physical grouping that contains all of the elements in the DECT networkbetween the local network and the DECT air interface.NOTE 2:A DECT FP contains the logical elements of at least one fixed radio termination, plusadditional implementation specific elements.DECT location area: The domain in which a DECT Portable Part (PP) may receive and/or make calls asa result of a single location registration in the DECT access network.SIST ETS 300 788:2001



Page 9ETS 300 788: July 1997global network: The GSM PLMN or network of GSM PLMNs which provides the served user with theglobal service specified in this ETS.GSM location area: The domain in which a DECT PP may receive and/or make calls as a result of asingle location updating in the GSM network.NOTE 3:A GSM location area may cover more than one DECT location area.GSM service provider: An administration which offers global mobile telecommunication services to itssubscribers.GSM services: Services which are offered to the subscriber/user by a GSM Service Provider and whichare defined by the appropriate GSM specifications.location area: The domain in which a DECT PP may receive and/or make calls as a result of a singlelocation registration/updating in the network.location registration: The process whereby the position of a PP is determined to the level of one locationarea, and this position is updated in the network.location updating: The process whereby the position of a PP is determined to the level of one locationarea, and this position is updated in the network.NOTE 4:DECT and GSM respectively use the terms location registration and location updatingfor corresponding processes.MSC area: The MSC area is the part of the network covered by a MSC. A MSC area may consist of oneor several GSM location areas. A MSC area may also consist of one or several BSC areas and/or one orseveral DECT location areas.network: The totality of GSM and DECT access network elements through which the GSM serviceprovider provides its services to the served user.Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN): A PLMN is established and operated by an administration or forthe specific purpose of providing land mobile telecommunication services to the public. A PLMN may beregarded as an extension of a network (e.g. ISDN); it is a collection of MSC areas within a commonnumbering plan (e.g. same national destination code) and a common routeing plan. The MSCs are thefunctional interfaces between the fixed networks and a PLMN for call set-up. Functionally the PLMNs maybe regarded as independent telecommunication entities even though different PLMNs may beinterconnected through the ISDN/PISN and PDNs for forwarding of calls or network information. A similartype of interconnection may exist for the interaction between the MSCs of one PLMN.served user: The user of a DECT PP who has a subscription with the GSM service provider. The DECTPP accepts the GSM Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and optionally the DECT DAM with a GSMapplication.NOTE 5:For the purpose of this ETS no distinction is made between the served user and itsassociated DECT PP.SIST ETS 300 788:2001

It initiates and/or performs MM procedures onbehalf of the mobile user. FE1 is also responsible for passing information to the mobile user, if applicable.4.1.2.2Currently visited DECT access network MM control, FE2FE2 performs the DECT access network specific part of the MM features at the current location of theserved user. If involvement of the global network is required, FE2 cooperates with FE3 in providing therequired feature.FE2 receives information from FE1 when a MM procedure has been invoked. FE2 also can trigger FE1 toperform actions for MM procedures initiated by the network (either by FE2 itself or on initiative of FE3).NOTE:The possible information transfer within sub-entities in FE2 (e.g. when FE2 consists ofmore than one DECT location area) is out of the scope of this ETS.4.1.2.3Global network MM control, FE3FE3 performs the global network specific part of the MM features, i.e. the mobility actions which are ofglobal significance.FE3 receives information from FE2 that a MM procedure has been invoked. FE3 also can trigger FE1/FE2to perform actions for network initiated MM procedures.NOTE:The possible information transfer within sub-entities in FE3 (e.g. between MSC's, HLRand VLR) is out of the scope of this ETS.4.1.2.4Previously visited DECT access network MM control, FE4FE4 performs the DECT access network specific part of the MM features at the previous location of theserved user. FE4 receives information from FE3 that a served user is no longer in the domain controlledby FE4. On receipt of such information, FE4 will delete all temporary data stored for that user.NOTE:The possible information transfer within sub-entities in FE4 (e.g. when FE4 consists ofmore than one DECT location area) is out of the scope of this ETS.4.1.3Relationship of functional model to basic call functional modelThe functional model for MM features is independent of the functional model for basic call.4.2Information flows4.2.1Definition of information flowsIn the tables listing the elements in information flows, the column headed "Request" indicates which ofthese elements are mandatory (M) and which are optional (O) in a request/indication information flow, andthe column headed "Confirm" (confirmed information flows only) indicates which of these elements aremandatory (M) and which are optional (O) in a response/confirmation information flow.SIST ETS 300 788:2001

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines the functional capabilities and information
flows for the scenarios where Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) basic services are
provided via the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications System (DECT) air interface for the case
that the DECT network elements are interconnected with the GSM Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN)
via Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) interfaces.
The general description of the service requirements are specified in ETS 300 787 [1].
The following core features are covered by this ETS:
- outgoing calls;
- emergency calls;
- incoming calls;
- location updating, location cancellation;
- IMSI attach/detach;
- TMSI reallocation procedure (temporary identity assign);
- IMSI authentication;
- ciphering;
- identity request.
Handover, which is another Mobility Management (MM) service, is outside the scope of this ETS.
The service is produced in three stages according to the method specified in
CCITT Recommendation I.130 [6]. Stage 2 identifies the Functional Entities (FEs) involved in the service
and the information flows between them. This ETS is specified according to the methodology specified in
CCITT Recommendation Q.65 [7].
The purpose of the stage 2 specification is to guide and constrain the work on signalling protocols at
stage 3, while fulfilling the requirements of stage 1. Stage 1 and stage 3 are defined in separate
standards.
This ETS distinguishes DECT access networks from the global network. The DECT access network
provides the point of attachment for the served user and ensures a transparent access to the GSM
services. The global network is the GSM PLMN or network of GSM PLMNs which provides the served
user with the global service specified in this ETS. The specification of information flows within the global
network (e.g. between Mobile Switching Centres (MSCs), Home Location Register (HLR) and Visitor
Location Register (VLR)) is beyond the scope of this ETS.
Furthermore, conformance to this ETS is met by conforming to the stage 3 standards which fulfil the
requirements of this ETS that are relevant to the equipment for which the stage 3 standard applies.
Therefore no method of testing is provided for this ETS.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply:
DECT access network: Physical entity that contains all of the elements of a DECT Fixed Part (FP) and
that is attached to a GSM MSC.
NOTE 1: A DECT access network provides a transparent access to the services of the GSM
PLMN. This does however not exclude that it may in addition provide services and
switching capabilities to its own users.
DECT Fixed Part (FP): A physical grouping that contains all of the elements in the DECT network
between the local network and the DECT air interface.
NOTE 2: A DECT FP contains the logical elements of at least one fixed radio termination, plus
additional implementation specific elements.
DECT location area: The domain in which a DECT Portable Part (PP) may receive and/or make calls as
a result of a single location registration in the DECT access network.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 788:2001
Page 9
ETS 300 788: July 1997
global network: The GSM PLMN or network of GSM PLMNs which provides the served user with the
global service specified in this ETS.
GSM location area: The domain in which a DECT PP may receive and/or make calls as a result of a
single location updating in the GSM network.
NOTE 3: A GSM location area may cover more than one DECT location area.
GSM service provider: An administration which offers global mobile telecommunication services to its
subscribers.
GSM services: Services which are offered to the subscriber/user by a GSM Service Provider and which
are defined by the appropriate GSM specifications.
location area: The domain in which a DECT PP may receive and/or make calls as a result of a single
location registration/updating in the network.
location registration: The process whereby the position of a PP is determined to the level of one location
area, and this position is updated in the network.
location updating: The process whereby the position of a PP is determined to the level of one location
area, and this position is updated in the network.
NOTE 4: DECT and GSM respectively use the terms location registration and location updating
for corresponding processes.
MSC area: The MSC area is the part of the network covered by a MSC. A MSC area may consist of one
or several GSM location areas. A MSC area may also consist of one or several BSC areas and/or one or
several DECT location areas.
network: The totality of GSM and DECT access network elements through which the GSM service
provider provides its services to the served user.
Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN): A PLMN is established and operated by an administration or for
the specific purpose of providing land mobile telecommunication services to the public. A PLMN may be
regarded as an extension of a network (e.g. ISDN); it is a collection of MSC areas within a common
numbering plan (e.g. same national destination code) and a common routeing plan. The MSCs are the
functional interfaces between the fixed networks and a PLMN for call set-up. Functionally the PLMNs may
be regarded as independent telecommunication entities even though different PLMNs may be
interconnected through the ISDN/PISN and PDNs for forwarding of calls or network information. A similar
type of interconnection may exist for the interaction between the MSCs of one PLMN.
served user: The user of a DECT PP who has a subscription with the GSM service provider. The DECT
PP accepts the GSM Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and optionally the DECT DAM with a GSM
application.
NOTE 5: For the purpose of this ETS no distinction is made between the served user and its
associated DECT PP.

4.1.2 Description of functional entities
4.1.2.1 Mobile user's MM agent, FE1
This FE performs the user specific part of the MM features. It initiates and/or performs MM procedures on
behalf of the mobile user. FE1 is also responsible for passing information to the mobile user, if applicable.
4.1.2.2 Currently visited DECT access network MM control, FE2
FE2 performs the DECT access network specific part of the MM features at the current location of the
served user. If involvement of the global network is required, FE2 cooperates with FE3 in providing the
required feature.
FE2 receives information from FE1 when a MM procedure has been invoked. FE2 also can trigger FE1 to
perform actions for MM procedures initiated by the network (either by FE2 itself or on initiative of FE3).
NOTE: The possible information transfer within sub-entities in FE2 (e.g. when FE2 consists of
more than one DECT location area) is out of the scope of this ETS.
4.1.2.3 Global network MM control, FE3
FE3 performs the global network specific part of the MM features, i.e. the mobility actions which are of
global significance.
FE3 receives information from FE2 that a MM procedure has been invoked. FE3 also can trigger FE1/FE2
to perform actions for network initiated MM procedures.
NOTE: The possible information transfer within sub-entities in FE3 (e.g. between MSC's, HLR
and VLR) is out of the scope of this ETS.
4.1.2.4 Previously visited DECT access network MM control, FE4
FE4 performs the DECT access network specific part of the MM features at the previous location of the
served user. FE4 receives information from FE3 that a served user is no longer in the domain controlled
by FE4. On receipt of such information, FE4 will delete all temporary data stored for that user.
NOTE: The possible information transfer within sub-entities in FE4 (e.g. when FE4 consists of
more than one DECT location area) is out of the scope of this ETS.
4.1.3 Relationship of functional model to basic call functional model
The functional model for MM features is independent of the functional model for basic call.
4.2 Information flows
4.2.1 Definition of information flows
In the tables listing the elements in information flows, the column headed "Request" indicates which of
these elements are mandatory (M) and which are optional (O) in a request/indication information flow, and
the column headed "Confirm" (confirmed information flows only) indicates which of these elements are
mandatory (M) and which are optional (O) in a response/confirmation information flow.
