SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003

SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 919 V7.0.1. It describes typical attributes of different types of Mobile Stations (MS) for GSM and DCS1800 public land mobile networks, including service access, radio access capability, band support, speech codecs, and output power classes. Engineers, quality teams, and buyers use it to understand what kind of MS configuration a device is meant to support and what network behavior goes with that configuration.

What does SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003 specify?

SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003 specifies the typical attributes of MS used on GSM PLMNs and the main configuration possibilities for those stations. The standard is not an exhaustive list of every possible MS type, and it points type approval to GSM11.10.1.1.

The document is organized into these main parts:

• Scope
• References
• Abbreviations
• General
• Mobile Station attributes
• Mobile Station output and power control
• Configuration possibilities
• Annex A, which is informative and gives change request history

In practice, this structure helps a reader move from the general idea of an MS to the specific attribute choices that matter for service support, radio operation, and product classification.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003?

SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003 groups MS behavior around service access, band support, channel capability, speech coding, and power class. The practical result is a clear description of which combinations are allowed for a given kind of MS.

Service access configuration

Clause 3.1 says the MS service access configuration must fit the customer's needs and the mix of tele-, bearer- and supplementary services in use. The configuration may be a single unit or a mobile termination with additional Terminal Equipment and/or Terminal Adaptors. For a buyer or designer, this means the terminal arrangement has to match the intended service package.

Access capability and frequency bands

Clause 3.2 links MS access capability to GSM04.03 and to the limits on simultaneous tele- or bearer services. Clause 3.2.1 defines four frequency bands: Standard GSM Band, Extended GSM Band, Railways GSM Band (R-GSM), and DCS1800 Band. A multi-band MS must support handover, channel assignment, cell selection, cell re-selection, and PLMN selection across all its operating bands within one PLMN code.

The standard also distinguishes a GSM/DCS1800 MS that selects its operating band internally. That type does not use both modes at the same time and does not support inter-band handover, channel assignment, cell selection, or cell re-selection. In practice, this matters when checking whether a device should behave like a true multi-band product or just a dual-band product with band selection.

Full Rate, Half Rate, and speech codecs

Clause 3.2.2 says each basic service may be supported on Full Rate, on Full Rate and Half Rate, or not at all. Clause 3.2.4 names the speech codecs used for speech teleservices: Full Rate version 1, Enhanced Full Rate version 2, Half Rate version 1, and Adaptive Multirate (AMR). The permitted speech configurations are either Full Rate only, or Full Rate plus any combination of the other listed codecs.

Multislot capability

Clause 3.2.3 defines multislot capability by multislot class, including whether the MS works in semiduplex or duplex mode, the maximum number of receive slots, the maximum number of transmit slots, and for semiduplex MS, the maximum sum of receive and transmit slots. The class is defined in GSM05.02 and applies independently of other MS capabilities. For implementation and testing, this means the MS must be checked against its class in combination with the services it claims to support.

Clause 3.2.3.1 also allows General Bearer Service (GBS) signalling without multislot configurations, which is relevant when a product supports signalling functions without full multislot user traffic.

Output power and allowed configurations

Clause 4 classifies GSM and DCS MS by maximum output power according to GSM05.05 and states that GSM and DCS1800 MS must be able to reduce transmitter output power on command from a base station. Clause 5 then restricts some configurations: GSM handheld MS shall be class 4 or 5, DCS handheld MS shall be class 1 or 2, and DCS class 3 MS shall be vehicular mounted. For product planning, these rules tell you which physical form factors are allowed for each power class.

What terms does SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003 define?

SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003 uses a small set of terms that shape the whole document.

• Mobile Station (MS) - the equipment needed to access GSM PLMN telecommunication services, including the mobile termination and possibly Terminal Equipment and Terminal Adaptors.
• MS service access configuration - the combination of terminal elements used to provide the services a customer needs.
• MS access capability - the limit on how many tele- or bearer services the MS can provide at the same time.
• Multislot class - the class that describes how many receive and transmit slots an MS can use and whether it operates in semiduplex or duplex mode.
• hand-held MS - an MS where the used antenna is directly attached to the part of the equipment containing the acoustic transducers for speech.
• vehicular mounted MS - an MS where the used antenna is physically mounted outside a vehicle.
• Adaptive Multirate (AMR) - one of the speech codec options named for speech teleservices.

Who uses SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003?

SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003 is used by MS manufacturers, network and product engineers, and customers selecting GSM or DCS1800 equipment. It is also relevant to quality and conformity teams checking whether an MS design fits the declared class, band support, and codec combination. In practice, it helps with product definition, configuration review, and acceptance of the MS feature set.

What changed in SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003 from the previous edition?

Annex A records the change history leading to version 7.0.1. The listed changes include:

• introduction of MS multislot classes
• allowed speech codec configurations on the MS
• changes needed to implement 14.4 kps data service
• specification upgrade to Release 1997 version 6.0.0
• inclusion of Railways GSM Band
• addition of AMR speech codec for Release 1998
• version number update for publication

Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003?

SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003 relies on these referenced GSM specifications:

• GSM01.04 - abbreviations and acronyms used in the document
• GSM04.03 - MS-BSS interface channel structures and access capabilities
• GSM04.08 - mobile radio interface layer 3 specification, including the Mobile Station Class Mark reference
• GSM05.02 - multiplexing and multiple access on the radio path, including multislot classes
• GSM05.05 - radio transmission and reception, including power class behavior and power reduction
• GSM11.10 - MS conformity specification, used for type approval context

What does the SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003 document contain?

SIST EN 300 919 V7.0.1:2003 contains the attribute model for MS types, the list of supported frequency bands, and the rules for combining access features with service types. It also includes Table 1 for mean output power class categories and the configuration rules in clause 5 that link class, band, and form factor. Annex A provides the change request history that explains how the Release 1998 version evolved.
