SIST EN 300 904 V7.0.2:2003 is the SIST adoption of ETSI EN 300 904 V7.0.2 for GSM Phase 2+ / Release 1998. It specifies the bearer services supported by a GSM Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), including the service attributes, service categories, and interworking options used by GSM PLMN subscribers and connected networks. The document also covers the GPRS-related addition called out in the scope.
What does SIST EN 300 904 V7.0.2:2003 specify?
SIST EN 300 904 V7.0.2:2003 defines a set of bearer services to be provided within a GSM PLMN and in connection with other networks. It is also a reference for the required mobile network capabilities described through the GSM PLMN connection type concept.
The standard is organized into:
- Scope
- References
- Abbreviations
- Framework for defining Bearer Services
- Bearer Service categories

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 904 V7.0.2:2003?
The standard’s core job is to define GSM bearer services by attributes and then assign those attributes to named services. In practice, that lets operators, vendors, and testers check whether a network, terminal, or interworking function supports the right service profile.
Service definition framework
Clause 1 divides bearer service attributes into four groups:
- Information transfer attributes
- Access attributes
- Interworking attributes
- General attributes
This matters because a bearer service is not identified by one parameter alone. A buyer or engineer has to look at transfer mode, access type, interworking behavior, and general service behavior together.
Clause 1 also states that the GSM bearer service definitions are based on a minimal set of attributes. Operational and commercial attributes provide extra detail when a service must be fully specified for deployment or procurement.
Service categories
Clause 2 groups GSM bearer services into categories:
- Unrestricted Digital Information (UDI)
- 3,1 kHz (External to the PLMN)
- PAD
- Packet
- Alternate Speech/Data
- Speech followed by Data
- General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
This classification matters because it tells you whether the service is for transparent digital transfer, modem-style interworking, packet access, voice/data switching, or GPRS packet service. The GPRS bearer service is identified as providing Internet Protocol (IP) and X.25 interworking with external networks.
Common bearer-service behavior
Clause 3 gives the common minimal-set values used across the GSM bearer services. These include circuit information transfer mode, demand establishment of communication, bi-directional symmetric operation, and point-to-point communication configuration, with specific exceptions noted in the text.
That is important in practice because it shows the default assumptions behind GSM bearer services. When a service such as GPRS or 1200/75 bps is involved, the engineer must check the noted exception rather than assume the common profile.
Named bearer services and rates
Clause 3 and Table 2 list the bearer services and their attribute combinations. The table covers asynchronous and synchronous general bearer services, PAD access bearer services, packet access bearer services, Alternate Speech/Data, Speech Followed by Data, and GPRS. It also shows which services use UDI or 3,1 kHz information transfer capability, and which are limited to mobile originated use.
This table is the main practical selection tool in the standard. It tells you what kind of access structure, rate, and information transfer capability a service expects, so you can match it to terminal, network, and interworking support.
General bearer service user data characteristics
Subclauses 3.1.1 to 3.1.5 define the general bearer service user data characteristics for:
- 3,1 kHz Audio
- V.110 UDI
- X.31 Flag Stuffing UDI
- V.120
- Bit Transparent Mode
These subclauses matter when a service must interwork with terminals, modems, or ISDN-style adaptations. The document also notes that all GSM asynchronous NT bearer services may support data compression, and that GSM NT bearer services 2x and 3x may support V.120 interworking.
What terms does SIST EN 300 904 V7.0.2:2003 define?
- Bearer Service - A GSM service defined by a set of attributes for transferring information between access points.
- GSM PLMN - The GSM Public Land Mobile Network that provides bearer services to subscribers and connects to other networks.
- Interworking Function (IWF) - The function that supports connection between GSM services and external networks such as ISDN or PSTN.
- Terminal Adaptation Function (TAF) - The adaptation function for services using asynchronous or synchronous bearer capabilities.
- Unrestricted Digital Information (UDI) - A bearer service category for unrestricted digital information transfer.
- General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) - The packet-oriented GSM service that supports IP and X.25 interworking with external networks.
- Packet Assembly/Disassembly (PAD) - The access mode used to reach packet networks from asynchronous services.
- V.120 - The ISDN terminal adaptation recommendation used for data terminal interworking.
Who uses SIST EN 300 904 V7.0.2:2003?
GSM network operators use this standard to plan bearer service support and interworking with other networks. Mobile switching and interworking engineers use it to design or verify access, signaling, and adaptation functions.
Terminal manufacturers, modem vendors, and gateway designers use it when they need to support asynchronous, synchronous, packet, or voice/data bearer options. Quality managers and buyers use it to confirm that a proposed GSM solution supports the bearer service categories and rates they need.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 904 V7.0.2:2003?
- GSM01.04 - provides abbreviations and acronyms used in the document.
- GSM02.01 - defines the principles of telecommunications services and the bearer service attribute framework.
- GSM02.04 - gives the general rules for supplementary services.
- GSM03.10 - defines GSM PLMN connection types and interworking capabilities.
- GSM04.02 - gives the PLMN access reference configuration.
- GSM07.01, GSM07.02, GSM07.03, GSM07.05 - cover terminal adaptation functions and access protocols.
- GSM09.02 to GSM09.11 - cover interworking and signaling with ISDN, PSTN, CSPDN, PSPDN, and supplementary services.
- CCITT Recommendation V.120 - defines the ISDN data terminal adaptation used for V.120 interworking.
- GSM02.60, GSM07.60, GSM09.60 - provide the GPRS service description, MS support, and GTP support.
What does the SIST EN 300 904 V7.0.2:2003 document contain?
The document contains the attribute framework for GSM bearer services, the category structure, and a service-by-service listing with attribute values. Table 1 lists the bearer service attributes used in the minimal set, and Table 2 maps those attributes to the named bearer services.
It also includes the general bearer service user data characteristics in subclause 3.1, with separate subclauses for 3,1 kHz Audio, V.110 UDI, X.31 Flag Stuffing UDI, V.120, and Bit Transparent Mode. Figures show the bearer service model and the V.120 interworking arrangement.
