Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) - Voice plus Data (V+D) - Part 12: Supplementary services stage 3 - Sub-part 21: Ambience Listening (AL)

The present document defines the stage 3 specification of the Supplementary Service Ambience Listening (SS-AL) for the Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA). Stage 3 defines the signalling system protocols and switching functions needed to implement the service described in stage 1 and stage 2.
Charging principles and Man-Machine Interface (MMI) are outside the scope of the present document.
The SS-AL enables the served user to place a TETRA Mobile Station (MS) into a special type of voice call whereby the called MS transmits without any action from, or indication to, the affected user. The SS-AL call can include a second listening party. The affected user can ask other user to set an SS-AL call on him.

Prizemni snopovni radio (TETRA) - Govor in podatki (V+D) - 12. del: Dopolnilne storitve stopnje 3 - 21. poddel: Poslušanje okolice (AL)

Ta dokument določa specifikacijo dopolnilne storitve poslušanja okolice (SS-AL) stopnje 3 pri prizemnem snopovnem radiu (TETRA). Stopnja 3 opredeljuje protokole signalizacije in funkcije preklapljanja, ki so potrebni za izvajanje storitve iz stopnje 1 in stopnje 2.
Načela zaračunavanja in vmesnik človek-stroj (MMI) ne spadajo v področje uporabe tega dokumenta.
Dopolnilna storitev poslušanja okolice uporabniku, kateremu se zagotovi storitev, omogoča, da mobilno postajo prizemnega snopovnega radia vključi v posebno vrsto glasovnega klica, pri čemer poklicana mobilna postaja oddaja brez kakršnega koli dejanja, ki ga opravi zadevni uporabnik, ali opozorila zadevnemu uporabniku. Dopolnilna storitev poslušanja okolice lahko vključuje drugega poslušalca. Zadevni uporabnik lahko drugega uporabnika pozove, naj zanj nastavi dopolnilno storitev poslušanja okolice.

1 Scope
The present document defines the stage 3 specification of the Supplementary Service Ambience Listening (SS-AL) for
the Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA). Stage 3 defines the signalling system protocols and switching functions
needed to implement the service described in stage 1 and stage 2.
Charging principles and Man-Machine Interface (MMI) are outside the scope of the present document.
The SS-AL enables the served user to place a TETRA Mobile Station (MS) into a special type of voice call whereby the
called MS transmits without any action from, or indication to, the affected user. The SS-AL call can include a second
listening party. The affected user can ask other user to set an SS-AL call on him.

4 SS-AL service description
4.1 General
The SS-AL enables the served user to place a TETRA Mobile Station (MS) into a special type of voice call teleservice
whereby the called MS transmits without any action from, or indication to, the affected user. The affected user shall be
an individual user. The SS-AL call may include a second listening party. The second listening party may be either
individual user or a group.
Clauses 4.2 and 4.3 describe SS-AL specific services offered by the Circuit Mode Control Entity (CMCE) at the
Supplementary Services service access point (TNSS-SAP) of the TETRA voice plus data layer 3 service boundary. The
SS-AL service access point is used in conformance testing as a normative boundary in TETRA Mobile Stations (MSs).
NOTE 1: As the present document only deals with the SS-AL all the service primitives have been shown without a
TNSS-AL-prefix e.g. the TNSS-AL-INVOKE request is shorten into an INVOKE request.
The services offered to users of SS-AL are defined as service primitives containing service parameters. The service
primitives are defined in clauses 4.2 and 4.3 and the service parameters are defined in clause 4.4.
In addition to the defined service primitives a SwMI may respond by a service not supported or a process not supported
primitives as appropriate, refer EN 300 392-9 [3].
NOTE 2: As the present document does not describe a man-machine interface nor user applications the service
primitives are used to define information exchange to and from the standardized part of the MS/LS. Those
primitives may not be accessible directly nor indirectly.
Examples of information flows are presented in EN 300 392-11-21 [i.1].
4.2 SS-AL services offered over the TNSS-SAP
4.2.1 SS-AL service primitives to served user
The SS-AL service primitives at the served user MS/LS (FE1) TNSS-SAP are:
a) INTERROGATE request;
b) INTERROGATE indication;
c) INVOKE1 request;
d) INVOKE1 indication;
e) INVOKE2 request;
f) INVOKE2 indication;
g) INVOKE3 request;
h) INVOKE3 indication; and
i) STOP LISTENING request.
4.2.2 SS-AL service primitives to affected user
The SS-AL service primitives at the affected user MS/LS (FE5) TNSS-SAP are:
a) INVOKE indication; and
b) INVOKE ACK request.
ETSI
12 Final draft ETSI EN 300 392-12-21 V1.5.0 (2011-11)
4.2.3 SS-AL service primitive to second listening party
The SS-AL service primitive at the second listening party MS/LS (FE6) TNSS-SAP is:
a) INFORMATION indication.
NOTE: In the present document primitives request and indication are used instead of request and confirmation as
there may not be a one to one correspondence between those primitives, e.g. there can be multiple
responses as indications due to a single request.
The information contained in the following argument description tables correspond to the following key:
• C/O/M: conditional/optional/mandatory;
• Remark: comment.
4.3 Service primitive descriptions
4.3.1 INFORMATION indication
The INFORMATION indication shall be presented to the application from FE6 to indicate to the second listening party
that the incoming call is an ambience listening call. The primitive shall contain the SS-AL information parameters listed
in table 1.
Table 1: INFORMATION indication primitive contents
Parameter Indication Remark
Affected user TETRA identity M
Listening party identity O See note
NOTE: This parameter is not available, when the Notification indicator is used alone.

4.3.2 INTERROGATE request
The INTERROGATE request primitive shall be offered from application to FE1 over TNSS-SAP when a served user
interrogates whether an affected user is ambience listened to. The primitive shall contain the SS-AL information
parameters listed in table 2.
Interrogated TETRA identity parameter is a repeatable parameter that shall define one individual number, a list of
individual numbers or a range of individual numbers. There shall be at least one defined TETRA identity in a
INTERROGATE request. SNA, if used, should refer to a SNA defined for served user.
The implementation of INTERROGATE request is optional.

Parameter Request Remark
Interrogated TETRA identity M Repeatable

ETSI
13 Final draft ETSI EN 300 392-12-21 V1.5.0 (2011-11)
4.3.3 INTERROGATE indication
The INTERROGATE indication primitive shall be offered from FE1 to application over TNSS-SAP as a response to a

1 Scope
The present document defines the stage 3 specification of the Supplementary Service Ambience Listening (SS-AL) for
the Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA). Stage 3 defines the signalling system protocols and switching functions
needed to implement the service described in stage 1 and stage 2.
Charging principles and Man-Machine Interface (MMI) are outside the scope of the present document.
The SS-AL enables the served user to place a TETRA Mobile Station (MS) into a special type of voice call whereby the
called MS transmits without any action from, or indication to, the affected user. The SS-AL call can include a second
listening party. The affected user can ask other user to set an SS-AL call on him.

4 SS-AL service description
4.1 General
The SS-AL enables the served user to place a TETRA Mobile Station (MS) into a special type of voice call teleservice
whereby the called MS transmits without any action from, or indication to, the affected user. The affected user shall be
an individual user. The SS-AL call may include a second listening party. The second listening party may be either
individual user or a group.
Clauses 4.2 and 4.3 describe SS-AL specific services offered by the Circuit Mode Control Entity (CMCE) at the
Supplementary Services service access point (TNSS-SAP) of the TETRA voice plus data layer 3 service boundary. The
SS-AL service access point is used in conformance testing as a normative boundary in TETRA Mobile Stations (MSs).
NOTE 1: As the present document only deals with the SS-AL all the service primitives have been shown without a
TNSS-AL-prefix e.g. the TNSS-AL-INVOKE request is shorten into an INVOKE request.
The services offered to users of SS-AL are defined as service primitives containing service parameters. The service
primitives are defined in clauses 4.2 and 4.3 and the service parameters are defined in clause 4.4.
ETSI
10 ETSI EN 300 392-12-21 V1.5.1 (2012-04)
In addition to the defined service primitives a SwMI may respond by a service not supported or a process not supported
primitives as appropriate, refer EN 300 392-9 [3].
NOTE 2: As the present document does not describe a man-machine interface nor user applications the service
primitives are used to define information exchange to and from the standardized part of the MS. Those
primitives may not be accessible directly nor indirectly.
Examples of information flows are presented in EN 300 392-11-21 [i.1].
4.2 SS-AL services offered over the TNSS-SAP

5.1 General
The SS-AL layer 3 requirements and protocol for the SS-AL services is specified in clauses 5.2 to 5.6. The SS-AL
protocol comprises of sub-protocols defined for SS and call control within CMCE. These SS-AL sub-protocols
complement the call control protocol defined in EN 300 392-2 [1], clause 14. The present document is only normative
for the protocol architecture and user application SAPs within the MS, but gives an informative description of the
protocol and the SAPs within the SwMI.
NOTE: The internal communication between processes within CMCE is outside the scope of the present
document and will only be mentioned as informative statements.

1 Scope
The present document defines the stage 3 specification of the Supplementary Service Ambience Listening (SS-AL) for
the Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA). Stage 3 defines the signalling system protocols and switching functions
needed to implement the service described in stage 1 and stage 2.
Charging principles and Man-Machine Interface (MMI) are outside the scope of the present document.
The SS-AL enables the served user to place a TETRA Mobile Station (MS) into a special type of voice call whereby the
called MS transmits without any action from, or indication to, the affected user. The SS-AL call can include a second
listening party. The affected user can ask other user to set an SS-AL call on him.

4 SS-AL service description
4.1 General
The SS-AL enables the served user to place a TETRA Mobile Station (MS) into a special type of voice call teleservice
whereby the called MS transmits without any action from, or indication to, the affected user. The affected user shall be
an individual user. The SS-AL call may include a second listening party. The second listening party may be either
individual user or a group.
Clauses 4.2 and 4.3 describe SS-AL specific services offered by the Circuit Mode Control Entity (CMCE) at the
Supplementary Services service access point (TNSS-SAP) of the TETRA voice plus data layer 3 service boundary. The
SS-AL service access point is used in conformance testing as a normative boundary in TETRA Mobile Stations (MSs).
NOTE 1: As the present document only deals with the SS-AL all the service primitives have been shown without a
TNSS-AL-prefix e.g. the TNSS-AL-INVOKE request is shorten into an INVOKE request.
The services offered to users of SS-AL are defined as service primitives containing service parameters. The service
primitives are defined in clauses 4.2 and 4.3 and the service parameters are defined in clause 4.4.
ETSI
10 ETSI EN 300 392-12-21 V1.5.1 (2012-04)
In addition to the defined service primitives a SwMI may respond by a service not supported or a process not supported
primitives as appropriate, refer EN 300 392-9 [3].
NOTE 2: As the present document does not describe a man-machine interface nor user applications the service
primitives are used to define information exchange to and from the standardized part of the MS. Those
primitives may not be accessible directly nor indirectly.
Examples of information flows are presented in EN 300 392-11-21 [i.1].
4.2 SS-AL services offered over the TNSS-SAP

5.1 General
The SS-AL layer 3 requirements and protocol for the SS-AL services is specified in clauses 5.2 to 5.6. The SS-AL
protocol comprises of sub-protocols defined for SS and call control within CMCE. These SS-AL sub-protocols
complement the call control protocol defined in EN 300 392-2 [1], clause 14. The present document is only normative
for the protocol architecture and user application SAPs within the MS, but gives an informative description of the
protocol and the SAPs within the SwMI.
NOTE: The internal communication between processes within CMCE is outside the scope of the present
document and will only be mentioned as informative statements.
