Overview

SIST ETS 300 505 E3:2003 is the Slovene-adopted European Telecommunication Standard that specifies the features of Mobile Stations (MS) for the digital cellular telecommunications system (GSM Phase 2), aligning with GSM 02.07 version 4.8.2. Developed for the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), this standard provides a detailed classification of MS features, indicating which features are mandatory and which are optional. It offers guidance for manufacturers, operators, and testing bodies on the functional capabilities that ensure interoperability, user safety, and network compatibility in GSM mobile devices.

This standard is essential for anyone involved in the design, testing, certification, and deployment of GSM equipment, especially within Slovenia and across Europe.

Key Topics

• Mobile Station Feature Classification: The standard identifies and categorizes features as basic, supplementary, or additional.
  • Basic features include the functionality required for core GSM services like call setup, display, and keypad operations.
  • Supplementary features cover enhancements such as call forwarding and call barring.
  • Additional features reference non-essential but valuable functionalities (e.g., abbreviated dialling, fixed number dialling).
• Mandatory vs. Optional Features: Features are clearly marked as mandatory or optional, facilitating easy reference for compliance and certification.
• Implementation Requirements: Manufacturers must ensure that implemented features do not interfere with the GSM air interface or network operation. Mandatory features are subject to type approval, referencing GSM 11.10 for conformity testing.
• User Interface Elements: Requirements for features like display of called number, indication of call progress, country/PLMN indication and selection, and keypad functionality are outlined.
• Security and Identification: Includes requirements for IMEI assignment, support for encryption algorithms (A5/1, A5/2), subscription identity management using SIM cards, and ciphering indicators.
• Short Message Services (SMS): Defines handling of short message indication, overflow alerts, message acknowledgement, and related interface capabilities.
• Call Control and Restrictions: Details emergency call capabilities, autocalling restrictions, call barring mechanisms, and DTMF function.

Applications

The SIST ETS 300 505 E3:2003 standard is foundational for several applications in the GSM mobile communications ecosystem:

• Mobile Device Manufacturing: Ensures that new handsets conform to obligatory GSM feature sets, supporting both compliance and customer expectations.
• Network Interoperability: Unified mobile station features enable consistent operation across diverse GSM networks and countries.
• Certification and Type Approval: Provides the functional baseline for testing bodies to evaluate and certify GSM equipment, referencing GSM 11.10 conformity tests.
• End-User Experience: Guarantees essential services, such as emergency calling and display features, are consistently available to GSM users regardless of device brand.
• Device Customization: Allows manufacturers to introduce optional or additional features while maintaining network integrity and baseline user requirements.
• Security & Fraud Prevention: With features like IMEI management and ciphering indicators, the standard assists in device traceability and communication security.

Related Standards

For comprehensive GSM implementation and interoperability, the following related standards should also be considered:

• GSM 11.10 (ETS 300 607): Mobile Station (MS) Conformity Specification - Defines type approval procedures.
• GSM 02.03 (ETS 300 502): Teleservices supported by GSM Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN).
• GSM 02.11 (ETS 300 507): Service accessibility guidelines.
• GSM 02.16 (ETS 300 508): International Mobile station Equipment Identities (IMEI).
• GSM 02.30 (ETS 300 511): Man-machine interface (MMI) for MS.
• GSM 11.11 (ETS 300 608): SIM-Mobile Equipment interface specifications.
• Other GSM 02.xx and 03.xx series: Address supplementary services, number management, and data handling.

These standards, together with SIST ETS 300 505 E3:2003, enable manufacturers and operators to deliver compatible, secure, and user-friendly GSM mobile devices and services.

Page 8ETS 300 505 (GSM 02.07 version 4.8.2): January 19981.2Definitions and abbreviationsFor the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply:An MS feature is defined as a piece of equipment of function which directly relates to the operation of theMS. On the basis of this, three categories of features can be distinguished: basic, supplementary andadditional features.Basic MS features: A basic MS feature is directly related to the operation of basic telecommunicationservices (e.g. key-pad function).Supplementary MS features: A supplementary MS feature is directly related to the operation ofsupplementary services (e.g. display of calling line number).Additional MS features: An additional MS feature is a feature which is neither a basic nor asupplementary feature (e.g. abbreviated dialling).Additional MS features and supplementary services may be used independently according to the choice ofsubscribers/users (e.g. barring of outgoing calls). Features not directly relevant to the use as a MobileStation are permitted, provided they do not interfere with the performance of the MS (e.g. a clock).Abbreviations used in this ETS are listed in GSM 01.04.2Requirements for implementing MS featuresMS features are qualified as mandatory or optional. Mandatory features have to be implemented as longas they are relevant to the MS type, and will be subject to Type Approval when applied according toGSM 11.10. Whether or not an optional feature is implemented is left to the manufacturers' discretion. Themethod of implementation of all MS features must be done in accordance with the appropriate GSMspecifications. For all present and future MS features, manufacturers have the responsibility to ensure thatthe MS features will neither conflict with the air interface nor cause any interference to the network or anyother MS or its own MS, and these requirements shall be recognized during the Type Approval process.In the following tables 1, 2 and 3 the basic, supplementary and additional MS features are listed.Mandatory features are marked by "M". Optional features are marked by "0".Additional MS features not listed in table 3 are permitted without the requirement for this table to beamended, provided that these new features do not affect the mandatory air interface requirements.Unless otherwise stated for a particular feature, the feature supported by the Subscriber Identity Module(SIM) takes priority over the same feature supported by the Mobile Equipment (ME).SIST ETS 300 505 E3:2003
