SIST EN 300 396-3 V1.3.1:2006 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 396-3 V1.3.1, a TETRA Direct Mode Operation (DMO) standard. It specifies the Mobile Station to Mobile Station (MS-MS) air interface protocol, including the Data Link Layer (DLL) and layer 3 procedures for voice, circuit mode data, and short data. It is aimed at people implementing, testing, or buying TETRA direct-mode mobile stations.
What does SIST EN 300 396-3 V1.3.1:2006 specify?
SIST EN 300 396-3 V1.3.1:2006 specifies the MS-MS part of TETRA DMO. The scope places this part within the EN 300 396 series, which covers DMO, repeater inter-working, gateway inter-working with TETRA Voice plus Data (V+D), security aspects, and intrinsic services.
This part focuses on the protocol between the mobile stations themselves. It describes the services, messages, and procedures used across the air interface, starting with layer 3 and the DLL, and its annexes mainly give the parameter values used by the protocol.
The document is organized into clauses 1 to 9 and annexes A to F.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | Layer 3 timers and constants, Layer 2 timers and constants, and the maximum number of frame transmissions by DM-MAC |
| Annex B | Mathematical definition of FCS |
| Annex C | Limitations of Dual Watch operation |
| Annex D | Use of threshold in channel surveillance procedures |
| Annex E | SDS-TL use in DMO |
| Annex F | Change requests |
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 396-3 V1.3.1:2006?
SIST EN 300 396-3 V1.3.1:2006 defines how a DM-MS behaves when it sets up, maintains, changes over, or releases a direct-mode call, and how it sends and receives short data. The most important practical point is that the standard ties user-visible call behavior to specific protocol states, PDUs, timers, and channel conditions.
Call setup, occupation, reservation, and pre-emption
Clause 4 describes the DM channel and the basic call sequence. In normal mode, one DM channel exists on a DM RF carrier; in frequency efficient mode, channel A and channel B may exist on the same carrier. The master DM-MS sends signalling in Direct Mode Synchronization Bursts (DSBs) and traffic in Direct Mode Normal Bursts (DNBs), so implementers must keep timing and burst type aligned with the current channel state.
Clause 6 defines circuit mode call procedures. A call may be individual or group, and individual calls support setup with or without presence check. This matters because the terminal must follow different call setup and acceptance behavior depending on whether it is calling one station or a group, and whether presence checking is used.
Clause 6 also defines pre-emption. Pre-emption transfers the master role to the requesting DM-MS, either to take over an ongoing call or to start a new call. In practice, this is the mechanism that lets a higher-priority user claim the channel, so the terminal must evaluate priority and channel state before acting.
Short Data Service
Clause 6.3 defines the Short Data Service (SDS). SIST EN 300 396-3 V1.3.1:2006 supports user-defined short messages and predefined 16-bit status messages. It distinguishes unacknowledged service, which can be used to a group and may be used to an individual DM-MS, from acknowledged service, which may be used to an individual DM-MS.
This matters because the sender must choose between reach and feedback. For unacknowledged SDS, the calling DMCC can request repeated transmission of the complete message; for acknowledged SDS, the calling DMCC must handle retransmission if no response is received. Clause 6.3.5 also defines SDS-TL use in DMO, including store-and-forward behavior.
Layer 3 services and primitives
Clause 5 describes the layer 3 services exposed at the DMCC-SAP. The DMCC supports individual and group circuit mode call transmission and reception in simplex mode, call setup with and without presence check, clear and encrypted circuit mode operation, pre-emption, and both user-defined and predefined short data.
The clause is written in terms of primitives such as DMCC-SETUP, DMCC-RELEASE, DMCC-SDS DATA, DMCC-SDS UNITDATA, DMCC-TPNI, and DMCC-TX CEASED. For implementers, these primitives are the application-facing interface that turns radio events into software actions and status reports.
Layer 2 structure and access points
Clause 7 defines the DLL architecture and its service access points. The DLL is split into upper MAC and lower MAC. The upper MAC handles higher protocol functions, while the lower MAC performs channel coding and interleaving. The clause also defines the DMA-SAP, DMC-SAP, DMD-SAP, and related parameters.
This matters because the MS software must separate control-plane signaling from user-plane traffic. Clause 7.4 lists parameters such as destination address, priority, reservation time, new call pre-emption, and stolen indication, which are the protocol values that drive channel decisions and traffic handling.
Channel mapping, modes of operation, and dual watch
Clause 8 maps logical channels to bursts. SCH/S and SCH/H use parts of the DSB, SCH/F uses the DNB, STCH uses DNB plus slot flag, TCH uses DNB, and LCH uses DLB. The same clause defines the DM-MS modes of operation, including signalling mode and traffic mode, so a terminal has to switch burst handling at the right times.
Clause 8.3 describes DM-MS capabilities, including DM only, dual mode capable operation, and Dual Watch. An Idle Dual Watch Mobile Station (I-DW-MS) must be able to switch between the selected DM channel frequency and the TMO channel frequency within 0,5 of a timeslot duration. In practice, that requirement affects RF timing, battery use, and whether a terminal can keep listening to TMO while supporting DMO.
State control, surveillance, and timing
Clause 8.4 defines DM-MAC states such as free, occupied, reserved, and unknown, and describes channel surveillance and state changes. The master DM-MS sets timing reference, frame numbering, and channel behavior, while a slave DM-MS follows the channel state and monitoring rules.
This is important because a DM-MS cannot simply transmit whenever it wants. It must watch for DSBs, determine whether the channel is free or busy, and apply the state-transition rules before call setup, late entry, or call continuation.
Signalling PDUs and coding
Clause 9 describes the PDUs used on the air interface and the coding of the information elements in them. It covers layer 2 PDUs in DSB and DNB, layer 2 messages generated by layer 2, and layer 3 PDUs such as DM-SETUP, DM-CONNECT, DM-OCCUPIED, DM-RELEASE, DM-PREEMPT, DM-REJECT, DM-SDS UDATA, DM-SDS DATA, and DM-SDS ACK.
For implementers, this clause is the bit-level reference for interop. It shows which fields exist, how they are encoded, and how protocol state is reflected in the transmitted message.
What terms does SIST EN 300 396-3 V1.3.1:2006 define?
- Direct Mode Operation (DMO): TETRA operation in which mobile stations communicate directly without an intervening base station, and this part specifies the MS-MS air interface for that mode.
- call: A complete sequence of related call transactions between DM-MSs; it may be an individual call between two stations or a group call involving two or more stations.
- DM channel: A grouping of timeslots in the DM multiplex structure on one DM RF carrier; in frequency efficient mode, channels A and B share the carrier.
- Direct Mode Call Control (DMCC): The layer 3 entity that controls call setup, release, pre-emption, and short data procedures in direct mode.
- pre-emption: The transfer of the master role to the requesting DM-MS, used when a higher-priority station needs the channel.
- presence signal: A message sent by a DM-REP or DM-GATEway to indicate its presence on an RF carrier.
- DUal Mode switchable Mobile Station (DU-MS): A mobile station that can operate in TETRA DMO or TETRA TMO, one mode at a time.
Who uses SIST EN 300 396-3 V1.3.1:2006?
SIST EN 300 396-3 V1.3.1:2006 is used by radio engineers who design TETRA mobile stations and by software developers who implement DMCC, MAC, and PDU handling. Test laboratories use it to verify call setup, channel access, pre-emption, short data exchange, encryption-related behavior, and timing.
It is also relevant to quality managers and buyers who need to check whether a product supports DMO MS-MS behavior, including simplex circuit mode calls, SDS, and Dual Watch-related functions. Integrators and system planners use it when they need direct-mode operation with repeaters or gateways referenced by the wider EN 300 396 series.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 396-3 V1.3.1:2006?
The document cites other EN 300 396 parts and related TETRA standards as inputs to specific procedures:
- EN 300 396-1 - gives the general architecture of the DMO protocol and the overall layer structure.
- EN 300 396-2 - provides the DSB structure and timing referenced for call setup and channel signaling.
- EN 300 396-4 and EN 300 396-7 - support communication via DM-REP.
- EN 300 396-5 - supports communication via DM-GATE and DM-REP/GATE.
- EN 300 396-6 - is used for security criteria when assessing pre-emption.
- EN 300 396-10 - is referenced for DPRES-SYNC.
- EN 300 392-2 - provides status number definitions and related protocol details.
What does the SIST EN 300 396-3 V1.3.1:2006 document contain?
The document contains service definitions, protocol state descriptions, PDU formats, and bit-level coding rules for TETRA DMO MS-MS operation. It uses primitive tables to describe the parameters carried between layer 3, the DLL, and the user application.
It also includes call-flow figures, state diagrams for circuit mode calls and SDS, MAC procedures for random access and traffic mode, and logical-channel mappings to DSB, DNB, STCH, TCH, and LCH. Annex B gives the mathematical definition of the FCS, while Annex E shows how SDS-TL is used in DMO, including store-and-forward behavior.
For implementation and testing, the most useful parts are the parameter tables, the message and PDU descriptions, and the procedures that explain when a DM-MS shall transmit, listen, retry, or change state.
