ETSIEN 300 925 V6.0.1 (1999-09)5(GSM 02.68 version 6.0.1 Release 1997)1ScopeThe present document specifies the stage one description of the Voice Group Call Service (VGCS) which allows speechconversation of a predefined group of service subscribers in half duplex mode on the radio link taking into accountmultiple mobile service subscribers involved in the VGCS call per cell.The VGCS is applicable to all mobile stations in a certain network and area which have the technical capability and thecorresponding subscription, respectively, to participate in a VGCS call.NOTE:It is not considered as requirement that normal GSM phase 2 mobile stations will be able to be used forthis service.The service is described from the service subscriber's and user's point of view; in particular:-the procedure for normal operation with successful outcome;-the action to be taken in exceptional circumstances;-the interaction with other GSM services and features.The present document does not deal with the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) requirements, but makes reference to theappropriate Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) specifications.The present document defines a teleservice of the digital cellular telecommunications system GSM. Any interaction withother services and/or networks not dealt with in clauses 7 or 8 are outside the scope of the present document.2ReferencesThe following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the presentdocument.· References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) ornon-specific.· For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.· For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies.· A non-specific reference to an ETS shall also be taken to refer to later versions published as an EN with the samenumber.· For this Release 1997 document, references to GSM documents are for Release 1997 versions (version 6.x.y).[1]GSM 01.04: "Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+); Abbreviations andacronyms".[2]GSM 02.67: "Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+); enhanced Multi-LevelPrecedence and Pre-emption service (eMLPP) - Stage 1".3Definitions and abbreviations3.1DefinitionsFor the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:network operator: Entity which provides the network operating elements and resources for the execution of the VGCS.service provider: Entity which offers the VGCS for subscription.

This term is used synonymously with the term"VGCS call".service subscriber: Mobile subscriber which subscribes to the VGCS.group identification (group ID): A numerical classification. The maximum number of group IDs which can be definedin one PLMN depends on the maximum number of group call areas defined in this PLMN. The maximum number ofgroup IDs and group call areas combined is 108, Service subscriber shall be provided with one or up to 50 group IDs.dispatcher: Particular fixed line or mobile users are identified within the network as dispatchers. Dispatchers shallreceive all voice group calls to a certain group ID in a group call area (this shall be done automatically by the network).In addition they can initiate voice group calls to a group ID in a group call area.Dispatchers shall be connected to a voice group call by means of standard links via radio or via an ISDN. They shall becalled by their ISDN or MSISDN number, respectively. When dispatchers initiate voice group calls, they shall call aparticular MSISDN number which is related to a group ID and group call area. Dispatchers using the GSM network canbe located outside of this group call area.The identities of the dispatchers are exclusively predefined in the network by the service provider. There will be none orup to five dispatchers involved in a particular voice group call.destination subscriber: Service subscriber or dispatcher to which the VGCS call is directed.calling subscriber: Service subscriber or dispatcher which originates the VGCS call.group call area: Predefined area composed of one or a cluster of cells to which a particular VGCS call is distributed.The maximum number of group call area IDs which can be defined in one PLMN depends on the maximum number ofgroup IDs defined in this PLMN. The maximum number of group IDs and group call areas combined is 108, Thecomposition of a group call area is predefined in the network by the service provider. Changing of cell allocation in thenetwork due to operational reasons will need an adaptation of the group call area definition. The group call area mayinclude more then one MSC area and cells of more than one PLMN.group call member: Any service subscriber or dispatcher participating in an on going voice group call.3.2AbbreviationsAbbreviations used in the present document are listed in GSM 01.04.4DescriptionThe VGCS is defined in the following. Figure 1 gives an explanation of the logical concept of the VGCS.a)The VGCS enables a calling subscriber to establish a voice group call to destination subscribers belonging to apredefined group call area and group ID.NOTE 1:The service is provided by use of half duplex transmission mode.Applications for voice group call services typically involve multiple group members in a small group call area,for which the VGCS should provide spectrum efficient solutions.b)The calling subscriber as well as the destination subscribers may be any service subscriber which has subscribedto the related group ID or any dispatcher who is entitled to it by his identity which shall be registered in thenetwork.c)Destination subscribers are all service subscribers or a group of service subscribers identified by the called groupID which have their present location in the group call area, and pre-registered dispatchers. Destination servicesubscribers shall be notified with the group ID, not by paging the subscriber individually. Dispatchers shall becalled individually with their identity.Service subscribers may become late destination subscribers when entering the group call area within 500 msafter reception of the first notification message related to the VGCS call.
