SIST EN 301 087 V8.1.1:2003 is the Slovenian version of the ETSI standard for GSM Base Station System (BSS) radio aspects. It specifies RF test methods and conformance requirements for GSM400, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, MXM850 and MXM1900 BSS, so manufacturers, test laboratories and operators can check transmitter, receiver and radio-link performance in a common way.
What does SIST EN 301 087 V8.1.1:2003 specify?
SIST EN 301 087 V8.1.1:2003 defines how to test BSS radio performance and how to judge conformance. It separates essential conformance - the minimum set used for radio type approval - from complete conformance, which covers the full performance picture.
The standard applies to BSS meeting GSM Phase 2 or Phase 2+ requirements. It is written for BSS, including BTS and integrated BSS, and it does not apply to repeaters or other RF devices connected to a BSS antenna connector except where clause 4.10 allows special treatment.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | Testing of statistical parameters |
| Annex B | Description of special test equipment, including BSSTE and TX intermodulation setups |
| Annex C | Number of samples needed for statistical testing |
| Annex D | Change history |
The body of the document runs from scope and references through definitions and general test conditions, then into transmitter tests, receiver tests, radiated spurious emissions and radiolink management.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 087 V8.1.1:2003?
SIST EN 301 087 V8.1.1:2003 is built around declarations by the manufacturer and then a set of RF measurements under defined test conditions. In practice, the document first fixes what the BSS supports, then tells the tester how to measure it, and finally states the limits.
Declarations needed before testing
Clause 4 requires the manufacturer to declare the supported bands, the supported frequency range, whether slow frequency hopping (SFH) is supported, whether RF power control is implemented, whether downlink discontinuous transmission (DTX) is used, and the rated output power per TRX. For micro-BTS and pico-BTS, the power class is tied to the declared maximum output power; for BTS supporting 8-PSK, the 8-PSK output power capability also has to be declared.
General test conditions and measurement control
Clause 4 also sets the test environment, including normal conditions, extreme temperature, vibration and power supply limits. It requires the test report to record measurement uncertainty, because the measured value is compared directly with the limit. In practice, this matters because a result is only meaningful if the test setup and its uncertainty are documented.
Transmitter performance
Clause 6 checks static Layer 1 functions, modulation accuracy, mean transmitted RF carrier power, transmitted power versus time, adjacent channel power, spurious emissions and intermodulation attenuation. For example, modulation accuracy covers GMSK and 8-PSK, while the power tests verify static power control steps and any dynamic downlink power control.
This is important for cell planning and interference control: the BSS must stay within its intended channel, ramp power correctly, and avoid unwanted emissions into adjacent or unrelated bands.
Receiver and radio-link checks
Clause 7 covers static receiver functions, erroneous frame indication performance, reference sensitivity, multipath sensitivity, reference interference level, blocking, intermodulation, AM suppression and receiver spurious emissions. Clause 9 then checks radiolink management, including synchronization, BCCH multiframe and TDMA-frame structure, signal strength and signal quality measurements, idle channel signal level and adaptive frame alignment.
In practice, these tests show whether the BSS can receive weak or interfered signals correctly and whether it reports radio-link measurements in a usable way.
What terms does SIST EN 301 087 V8.1.1:2003 define?
- 8-PSK - a modulation type used for parts of the transmitter tests when the TRX supports it.
- GMSK - the modulation type used as the baseline GSM transmission method in several tests.
- BSS - the base stations subsystem; in this document it covers both BTS and integrated BSS.
- micro-BTS - a smaller BTS category with separate power-related requirements in some tests.
- pico-BTS - a very small BTS category, also treated separately where the standard says so.
- BSSTE - Base Station System Test Equipment, the special test equipment described in Annex B.
- SFH - Slow Frequency Hopping, a frequency-agility mode that changes the RF channel time slot by time slot.
- DTX - downlink discontinuous transmission, an optional downlink feature that changes how the transmitter behaves during silent periods.
Who uses SIST EN 301 087 V8.1.1:2003?
SIST EN 301 087 V8.1.1:2003 is used by BSS and BTS manufacturers, test laboratories, certification bodies and network operators. Manufacturers use it to design and verify RF performance, laboratories use it to run conformance tests, and operators use it when agreeing acceptance tests or checking compatibility in shared bands.
It is also useful for people planning co-siting, especially where intermodulation and spurious emissions can affect nearby GSM or mixed-band systems.
What changed in SIST EN 301 087 V8.1.1:2003 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 301 087 V8.1.1:2003 is identified as an upgrade to Release 1999 following CRs at SMG#30.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 087 V8.1.1:2003?
The standard relies on GSM core specifications for physical layer, multiplexing, channel coding, modulation, radio transmission and reception, link control and synchronization, including GSM05.01, GSM05.02, GSM05.03, GSM05.04, GSM05.05, GSM05.08 and GSM05.10. It also uses GSM08.20 for some non-transparent data cases.
For test method and environment control, it refers to ETR027, ETR028, ETS300113, ETS300019-1, IEC68-2 and IEC721. GSM01.04 provides the abbreviation framework used throughout the document.
What does the SIST EN 301 087 V8.1.1:2003 document contain?
The document contains frequency-band tables, ARFCN channel numbering, test-condition rules, measurement uncertainty guidance and detailed transmitter, receiver and radiolink test procedures. It also includes power/time masks for GMSK and 8-PSK, spectrum and emission measurement methods, and special setups for SFH, duplexers, ancillary RF amplifiers and antenna arrays.
Annex B gives example test equipment and intermodulation setups, while Annex A and Annex C support statistical testing and sample-size planning. Annex D records the change history.
