SIST EN 301 344 V7.1.1:2004 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 344 Version 7.1.1 for the GSM General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) service description, Stage 2. It specifies the service-level architecture, procedures, and network interactions for GPRS in digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+) networks, for use by operators, network designers, and equipment implementers.
What does SIST EN 301 344 V7.1.1:2004 specify?
SIST EN 301 344 V7.1.1:2004 defines the Stage 2 service description for GPRS on GSM. It focuses on how the service works in the network - mobility, packet routing, security, charging, and interworking - rather than on the radio-layer details.
The scope states that the document covers the first phase of GPRS and does not cover the lower layers of the GPRS radio interface or GPRS point-to-multipoint services.
The document is organized into clauses on scope, references, definitions, main concepts, architecture, mobility management, radio resource functionality, packet routing and transfer, message screening, compatibility, transmission, interfaces, information storage, identities, operational aspects, and interactions with other GSM services.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | GGSN selection decision tree and APN selection rules |
| Annex B | Internet-Hosted Octet Stream Service, including setup, flow control, termination, QoS, and security |
| Annex C | Data transmission routing examples |
| Annex D | Figures |
| Annex E | Tables |
| Annex F | Document history |
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 344 V7.1.1:2004?
SIST EN 301 344 V7.1.1:2004 defines how GPRS is built around two new network nodes, the SGSN and the GGSN, with interfaces such as Gb, Gn, Gp, Gi, Gr, Gs, Gc, Gd, and Gf. In practice, this tells network planners where packet traffic, mobility control, and external network interworking must be anchored.
The document requires interworking with packet data networks through the Gi reference point and with other PLMNs through the Gp interface. It supports PSPDN interworking, X.25 addressing and virtual circuits, and IP interworking, so a GPRS network can carry data to external packet networks, not only within the GSM domain.
It defines three mobility management states - IDLE, STANDBY, and READY - and links them to attach, detach, paging, and update procedures. For operators, this matters because it determines when a mobile can receive data, when it is only reachable for paging, and how often location updates occur.
GPRS attach and detach procedures establish and remove the mobility management context between the MS and the SGSN. The document also defines combined GPRS/IMSI attach and combined routeing area/location area updates when the optional Gs interface is present, which reduces duplicated signalling and radio use.
Security is built around authentication, authorisation, ciphering, identity checking, and Packet TMSI (P-TMSI) handling. The document also defines anonymous access, where the MS uses an auxiliary identity and IMSI and IMEI are not used, which changes how the network tracks and protects that session.
Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context activation, modification, and deactivation are central procedures in the document. They establish the packet data session between the MS and the external packet data network, and they support static or dynamic PDP addresses as well as network-requested activation.
The operational model includes Quality of Service (QoS) profiles, charging data collection, reverse charging, and paging coordination for circuit-switched and packet-switched services. In practice, this is where operators decide how to prioritize traffic, bill usage, and coordinate access to one mobile for both voice and data.
Annex A and Annex B add specific service logic for GGSN selection and the Internet-Hosted Octet Stream Service, including connection setup, termination, and security handling.
What terms does SIST EN 301 344 V7.1.1:2004 define?
- GPRS - General Packet Radio Service, the GSM packet-mode data service described by the standard.
- SGSN - Serving GPRS Support Node, the node that tracks mobile location and handles access control and security.
- GGSN - Gateway GPRS Support Node, the node that connects GPRS users to external packet data networks.
- PDP context - Packet Data Protocol context, the session state used to route user data between the MS and a packet data network.
- P-TMSI - Packet TMSI, a temporary identity used to avoid exposing the permanent subscriber identity.
- RAI - Routeing Area Identity, the identity used for routeing area updates and paging scope.
- GMM/SM - GPRS Mobility Management and Session Management, the signalling functions for attach, detach, location updates, and PDP context control.
Who uses SIST EN 301 344 V7.1.1:2004?
SIST EN 301 344 V7.1.1:2004 is used by GSM/GPRS network operators, core network vendors, and radio access network suppliers who need a common service model for GPRS. It is also used by engineers working on SGSN, GGSN, HLR, MSC/VLR, BSS, and SMS interworking.
Quality and test teams use it to check attach and detach behavior, paging coordination, location updates, PDP context handling, security procedures, and routing to external packet data networks. It is also relevant to buyers and integrators who need to confirm that equipment supports the required GPRS functions and interfaces.

What does the SIST EN 301 344 V7.1.1:2004 document contain?
The document contains architecture descriptions, state models, signalling flows, and procedural sequences rather than product values or design formulas. Clause 5 includes the logical architecture and the mapping of functions to network nodes, including the transmission and signalling planes.
Clauses 6 to 16 describe the main service behavior in detail: mobility management, attach and detach, paging coordination, security, PDP context handling, transmission modes, interface behavior, information storage, identities, charging, QoS, and interactions with SMS and circuit-switched services.
Annex A provides a decision tree for GGSN selection, Annex B specifies Internet-Hosted Octet Stream Service procedures, and Annex C gives routing examples for home and roaming users as well as MS-to-MS routing.
