SIST ETS 300 607-1 E11:2005 is the Slovenian standard published by SIST and identical to ETS 300 607-1 Edition 11 from the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). It is the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) Mobile Station (MS) conformance specification, defining the tests, procedures, and applicability rules used to verify GSM mobile stations and related terminal equipment for the features they claim to support.

What does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E11:2005 specify?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E11:2005 specifies how to test a GSM MS against conformance requirements for radio behavior, protocol behavior, call handling, mobility, SIM/ME functions, supplementary services, Short Message Service (SMS), and special test functions. The document is a test specification, so its practical value is in showing what to measure, how to set up the test, and which result counts for each supported feature.

The scope is broad, but the individual tests are conditional. Clause 3 and the applicability notes throughout the document limit many test cases to MSs that support a particular service, channel type, interface, or feature such as speech, data, half-rate speech, EFR, USSD, multiband operation, AoCC, FDN, or SMS.

The document is organized into a foreword and 36 clauses. The main flow is:

• Clauses 1-9 - scope, normative references, definitions, applicability, test equipment, methodology, reference methods, uncertainty, and test format
• Clauses 10-14 - generic call setup, general tests, transceiver, transmitter, and receiver performance
• Clauses 15-23 - timing, handover, reception gaps, cell selection and reselection, measurements, power control timing, and single frequency reference
• Clauses 24-29 - layer 1, layer 2, layer 3, SIM/ME interface, autocalling restrictions, and bearer services
• Clauses 30-36 - speech teleservices, supplementary services, speech transcoding, MS features, SMS, low battery voltage detection, and special conformance functions

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 607-1 E11:2005?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E11:2005 requires the MS to pass a large set of conformance tests that are grouped by capability and by protocol layer. The main technical idea is simple: the MS is not tested as one fixed device, but as a set of supported functions, and each function has a defined test method and expected behavior.

Applicability, setup, and measurement rules

Clause 3 defines the testing approach by configuration and feature support. Many tests apply only to an MS that supports a specific service or channel type, so the user of the standard must first decide which functions the product actually claims.

Clauses 4 to 6 define the test environment, test equipment, reference methods, standard signals, power levels, and measurement uncertainty. Clause 5.2 requires a 50 ohm antenna connector in accordance with annex 1. In practice, this matters because the same radio can be judged differently if the setup, load, or uncertainty handling changes.

Call setup and general feature checks

Clause 10 gives generic call setup procedures for mobile terminating and mobile originating speech calls, and for mobile terminating and mobile originating data calls. These procedures include paging, channel request, authentication, ciphering, setup, assignment, and connect messages. In practice, these sequences are the baseline for checking whether the MS can establish and complete calls in a controlled way.

Clause 11 covers support and non-support of services and features such as multiple numbering scheme or ISDN, single numbering scheme, Advice of Charge Charging (AoCC), call hold, multiparty, Fixed Dialling Number (FDN), and IMEI Security. Clause 11 also checks Bearer Capability coding in both directions. This is important because the MS must both accept the services it supports and react correctly when a service is not supported.

Radio performance

Clauses 12 to 14 cover the core RF behavior of the MS. They include conducted and radiated spurious emissions, frequency and phase error, transmitter output power and burst timing, output RF spectrum, intermodulation attenuation, bad frame indication, reference sensitivity, usable receiver input level range, co-channel rejection, adjacent channel rejection, intermodulation rejection, blocking and spurious response, AM suppression, and paging performance at high input levels.

These tests are split between channel types such as TCH/FS, TCH/HS, FACCH/F, FACCH/H, and TCH/EFS, and many of them distinguish idle mode from allocated-channel conditions. For a buyer or quality manager, this tells you whether a terminal can stay within radio limits, receive weak signals, and tolerate interference without creating network problems.

Mobility, handover, and cell behavior

Clauses 15 to 23 cover timing advance and absolute delay, reception time tracking speed, access times during intra-cell channel change and inter-cell handover, temporary reception gaps, channel release after unrecoverable errors, cell selection and reselection, received signal measurements, transmit power control timing and confirmation, and single frequency reference.

Clause 20 is especially important because it covers normal and multiband cell selection and reselection, neighbor carrier handling, emergency calls, and several rejection and failure cases. In practice, these tests show whether the MS can stay on the right cell, move between cells, and recover cleanly when the network or radio conditions change.

Layer 2, layer 3, and service protocols

Clauses 25 and 26 define the signaling behavior at layer 2 and layer 3. They cover initialization, normal data transfer, link failure, invalid frames, channel request, IMSI detach and attach, idle mode behavior, handling of unknown or erroneous protocol data, immediate assignment, paging, measurement reporting, dedicated assignment, handover, frequency redefinition, channel mode modify, ciphering mode setting, classmark, channel release, starting time, and default message contents.

Clause 26 goes further into mobility management and call control, including TMSI reallocation, authentication, identification, location updating, MM connection, call establishment, call re-establishment, user to user signalling, structured procedures, E-GSM signalling, multiband signalling, and Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) signalling. This is the part of the standard that tells a lab how the MS should react when the network sends normal messages, unexpected messages, or error cases.

SIM/ME interface, services, and special test functions

Clauses 27, 28, 29, 31, 33, 34, 35, and 36 cover SIM/ME interface tests, autocalling restrictions, bearer services, facsimile, speech teleservices, supplementary services, SMS, low battery voltage detection, and special conformance testing functions. Clause 27 includes identity, PLMN list handling, PIN and PUK operations, electrical tests, mechanical tests, and SIM presence detection.

Clause 36 defines internal test loops, EMMI, DAI, and the SIM/ME test interface. In practice, these features help manufacturing and deeper verification because they expose controlled test modes and dedicated interfaces for measurement or debug.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E11:2005 define?

• Mobile Station (MS) - The GSM terminal under test, including its radio, signaling, and user-interface behavior.
• Traffic Channel Full Rate (TCH/FS) - A full-rate speech traffic channel used in speech and speech-transcoding tests.
• Traffic Channel Half Rate (TCH/HS) - A half-rate speech traffic channel used in half-rate speech, handover, and sensitivity tests.
• Advice of Charge Charging (AoCC) - The charging-related supplementary service that is tested for support and non-support.
• Fixed Dialling Number (FDN) - The SIM/ME feature that limits outgoing calls to permitted numbers.
• Short Message Service (SMS) - The point-to-point and cell broadcast messaging service tested in clause 34.
• Unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) - A supplementary service for interactive signaling, tested in clause 31.9.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 607-1 E11:2005?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E11:2005 is used by mobile-station manufacturers, conformance test laboratories, quality managers, and buyers who need a common basis for checking GSM terminal behavior. It is also used by engineering teams that need to verify radio performance, call setup, handover, SMS, SIM/ME behavior, and supplementary service support before release or acceptance.

For manufacturers, the document helps turn claimed features into testable cases. For laboratories, it gives the procedure structure and expected behavior. For buyers and quality managers, it helps compare products on the same technical basis instead of relying only on marketing claims.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 607-1 E11:2005?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E11:2005 relies on several GSM companion standards in its conformance requirements.

• GSM 05.05 - Used for radio performance limits such as spurious emissions, output spectrum, blocking, and extreme-condition requirements.
• GSM 05.10 - Used for frequency error, phase error, burst timing, and timing advance related requirements.
• GSM 05.02 - Used where the document checks that a phase 2 MS behaves properly in a phase 1 network.
• GSM 02.07 - Used as the basis for autocalling restriction tests.

What does the SIST ETS 300 607-1 E11:2005 document contain?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E11:2005 contains clause-by-clause test descriptions with a common structure of definition, conformance requirement, test purpose, method of test, and test requirement. It also contains detailed message sequences for generic call setup, paging, authentication, ciphering, assignment, handover, location updating, SMS, and supplementary services.

The document includes RF measurement setups and limit tables for emissions, spectrum, sensitivity, rejection, and timing behavior. It also includes worked test procedures for layer 2 and layer 3 signaling, SIM/ME electrical and mechanical checks, and special test functions such as internal loops and EMMI.

Where the detailed content is tabular or procedural, the standard uses it to define the exact test conditions rather than to describe the feature in general terms. That makes the document useful for test planning, execution, and result recording in GSM conformance work.
