Overview

SIST EN 300 940 V7.1.3:2004 defines the Layer 3 specification for the mobile radio interface within GSM digital cellular telecommunications systems (Phase 2+), according to the GSM 04.08 version 7.1.3 (Release 1998). Aligned with the European EN 300 940 standard, this document is crucial for the development, interoperability, and operation of GSM-based mobile networks, underpinning mobile services across Europe and internationally.

This standard is part of ASCI Phase 3, addressing essential radio resource and mobility management procedures that enable reliable, seamless communication for users on the move. It provides foundational guidelines for GSM system implementers, network engineers, and device manufacturers.

Key Topics

• Radio Resource Management: Details mechanisms for channel assignment, handover, frequency redefinition, and resource allocation, ensuring continuity during mobility such as calls and data transmissions.
• Layer 3 Procedures: Outlines the structure and function of layer 3 in the mobile radio interface, including message exchange and error handling.
• Mobility Management (MM): Specifies how mobile stations (e.g., handsets) register, authenticate, and maintain service as they move between network areas.
• Logical Channel Usage: Defines how logical channels are assigned and used for voice, data, and control signaling.
• Group Services: Supports advanced functionalities such as Voice Group Call Service (VGCS) and Voice Broadcast Service (VBS), enabling efficient group communication.
• Packet Services: Integrates General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) procedures, supporting packet-switched data for Internet and multimedia applications.

Applications

SIST EN 300 940 V7.1.3:2004 provides the technical specifications required for:

• Mobile Network Operators: Ensuring GSM infrastructure implements standardized procedures for reliable communication, handover, and subscriber management.
• Device Manufacturers: Designing mobile devices that are fully compliant with GSM network operations and capable of seamless roaming, registration, and data services.
• Telecom Software Developers: Developing network management software, radio protocols, and mobility management solutions with proven interoperability.
• Group Communication Systems: Implementing group calling features and broadcast services for emergency, enterprise, and public safety applications.
• GPRS Data Networks: Supporting mobile data and Internet services through standards-based integration of packet-switching capabilities.

Adherence to this standard ensures compatibility and interoperability between equipment from different manufacturers, supports regulatory compliance, and facilitates global GSM roaming.

Related Standards

• EN 300 940: European Norm version of this specification, maintained by ETSI.
• GSM 04.08: Core GSM specification for the mobile radio interface layer 3.
• 3GPP TS 24.008: Later versions evolving the layer 3 protocol for UMTS and LTE.
• GSM 03.11: Procedures for subscriber identity management.
• GSM 03.60: GPRS network service principles and framework.
• EN 301 511: Requirements for GSM mobile stations.

These related standards collectively establish the technical foundation for GSM, 2G, and the evolution toward 3G and 4G mobile telecommunications.
