- Abstract
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the stage one description of the Voice Broadcast Service (VBS) which allows the dist ribution of speech (or other signals which can be transmitted via the speech co dec), generated by a service subscriber, into a predefined geographical area to all or a group of service subscribers located in this area. [Remark: A similar service might be provided for the distribution of d ata messages. This service is not treated in the present stage 1 descripti on. However, the principle requirements and realizations should be co-ordi nated and synergies with the respective work item on General Packet Radio Servic e (GPRS) regarded.] The Voice Broadcast Service (VBS) is applicable to all mobile stations in a certain network and area which have the technical capability and the r espective subscription to receive a VBS call. NOTE: It is not considered as requirement that normal GSM phase 2 mobi le stations will be able to be used for this service. The service is described from the service subscriber s and user s poin t 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. This ETS does not deal with the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) requiremen ts, but makes reference to the appropriate Global System for Mobile communicat ions (GSM) specifications.

SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI ETS 300 926 Edition 2 for the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) Voice Broadcast Service (VBS) Stage 1. It describes the service from the subscriber and user point of view, so implementers can see how a VBS call is set up, who can take part, and how it interacts with other GSM services.
What does SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003 specify?
SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003 specifies the stage 1 description of VBS, a GSM teleservice for distributing speech, or other signals that can be carried by the speech codec, into a predefined geographical area. It focuses on service behavior, not on the detailed Man-Machine Interface (MMI), and it only covers interactions with other services and networks where the document addresses them.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A (informative) | Status of Technical Specification GSM 02.69 and its version history |
The document is organized into scope, normative references, definitions and abbreviations, description, normal operation, exceptional procedures, interaction with GSM services and features, interworking considerations, and the informative status annex. In practice, that structure lets a reader move from service definition to call handling, then to feature interactions and exceptions.
What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003?
SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003 defines how VBS works for both service subscribers and dispatchers. The most important points are the service model, who can originate and receive calls, how the network is configured, and how VBS interacts with other GSM features.
- VBS sends speech one-way and simultaneously to all entitled recipients in a predefined group call area. In practice, this is a broadcast-style call, not a normal point-to-point call.
- The service applies to mobile stations that have the technical capability and the right subscription. Ordinary GSM Phase 2 mobile stations are not required to support it, so support has to be checked against the target device and subscription profile.
- A service subscriber or an authorized dispatcher can start a voice broadcast call by dialing a specific short code or address. The network then establishes the call and notifies the caller when speaking can begin.
- Group call areas and group IDs are pre-registered in the network by the service provider, coordinated with the network operator. This matters because call reach depends on both the subscriber’s active group ID and the cell location or addressed area.
- The network can assign up to 50 group IDs to a service subscriber, and the service can be offered with options for originating calls and for originating calls while roaming. That tells a buyer or integrator how much subscriber control the service profile allows.
- Authentication of destination subscribers is not required, authentication of the calling subscriber is optional, and radio-path confidentiality is optional. These are important implementation choices because they affect access control and privacy design.
- Different priority and pre-emption levels apply according to enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Pre-emption service (eMLPP). That means a VBS call can be treated as higher or lower priority than other traffic.
- The document also defines how VBS interacts with features such as Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP), Connected Line Identification Presentation (COLP), Call Forwarding, Call Waiting (CW), Call Hold (HOLD), Multi-party Service (MPTY), Closed User Group (CUG), Advice of Charge (AoC), barring services, Explicit Call Transfer (ECT), Short Message Service (SMS), and Operator Determined Barring (ODB). For operators, this is the part that shows which familiar GSM features still apply and which are ignored.
What terms does SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003 define?
SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003 defines the parties and network objects that make VBS work.
- Network operator - the entity that provides the network resources used to execute VBS.
- Service provider - the entity that offers VBS for subscription; the network operator may also be the service provider.
- Service subscriber - a mobile subscriber who subscribes to VBS.
- Voice broadcast call - a VBS call initiated by a VBS subscriber; the standard uses this synonymously with VBS call.
- Dispatcher - a predefined fixed or mobile user who can receive all VBS calls for a certain group ID in a group call area and can also initiate such calls.
- Group ID - the numerical classification used to route a VBS call to the right set of subscribers.
- Group call area - the predefined cell or cell cluster where a given VBS call is distributed.
- Destination subscriber - a service subscriber or dispatcher to whom the VBS call is directed.
Who uses SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003?
SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003 is used by GSM network operators and service providers who need to define how VBS is offered, provisioned, and managed. It is also relevant to dispatcher services in sectors that need one-to-many voice alerts, because the standard defines how dispatchers are identified and connected.
It is useful for engineers responsible for call control, roaming behavior, feature interaction, charging records, and network configuration. Quality and product teams can use it to check whether a system handles the defined call flows, exceptions, and service options.
What changed in SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003 from the previous edition?
SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003 corresponds to ETS 300 926 Edition 2 and GSM 02.69 version 5.1.3. Annex A records the version history leading to that edition, including the transition to Phase 2+ status and the later change requests approved in 1997.
Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003?
| Reference | What it contributes |
|---|---|
| GSM 01.04 (ETR 350) | Abbreviations and acronyms used in the document |
| GSM 02.67 (ETS 300 924) | The stage 1 description of enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Pre-emption service (eMLPP) |
| GSM 12.05 (ETS 300 616) | Subscriber-related event and call data used for charging records |
What does the SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003 document contain?
SIST ETS 300 926 E2:2003 contains a conceptual description of VBS, including a figure that shows how group IDs, group call areas, subscribers, and dispatchers relate to one another. It then sets out provisioning, withdrawal, network-related service configuration, normal call establishment, charging, and failure handling.
The document also gives a long feature-interaction section that explains how VBS behaves with CLIP, CLIR, COLP, COLR, forwarding, barring, CW, HOLD, MPTY, CUG, AoC, ECT, eMLPP, SMS, and ODB. For implementation work, this is the part that tells a designer what the user will see and what the network must do when VBS meets other GSM features.
Annex A provides the status and version history of GSM 02.69, which is useful when tracking the development path of the specification.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the stage one description of the Voice
Broadcast Service (VBS) which allows the distribution of speech (or other signals which can be
transmitted via the speech codec), generated by a service subscriber, into a predefined geographical area
to all or a group of service subscribers located in this area.
The Voice Broadcast Service (VBS) is applicable to all mobile stations in a certain network and area which
have the technical capability and the respective subscription to receive a VBS call.
NOTE: It is not considered as requirement that normal GSM Phase 2 mobile stations will be
able to be used for this 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.
This ETS does not deal with the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) requirements, but makes reference to the
appropriate Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) specifications.
This ETS defines a teleservice of the digital cellular telecommunication system GSM. Any interaction with
other services and/or networks not dealt within clauses 8 or 9 are outside the scope of this ETS.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply:
network operator: Entity which provides the network operating elements and resources for the execution
of the VBS.
service provider: Entity which offers the VBS for subscription. The network operator may be the service
provider.
service subscriber: Mobile subscriber which subscribes to the VBS.
voice broadcast call: An instance of the VBS initiated by a VBS subscriber. This term is used
synonymously with the term "VBS call".
group identification (group ID): A numerical classification. The maximum number of group IDs which
can be defined in one PLMN depends on the maximum number of group call areas defined in this PLMN.
The maximum number of group IDs and group call areas shall be 10 , 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 shall receive all voice broadcast 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 broadcast calls to a group ID in a
group call area.
Dispatchers shall be connected to a voice broadcast call by means of standard links via radio or via
an ISDN. They shall be called by their ISDN or MSISDN number, respectively. When dispatchers
initiate voice broadcast calls, they shall call a particular MSISDN number which is related to a group
ID and group call area. Dispatchers using the GSM network can be 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 or up to five dispatchers involved in a particular voice broadcast call.
destination subscriber: Service subscriber or dispatcher to which the VBS call is directed.
calling subscriber: Service subscriber or dispatcher which invokes the VBS call.
group call area: Predefined area composed of one or a cluster of cells, to which a particular VBS call is
distributed. The maximum number of group call area IDs which can be defined in one PLMN depends on
the maximum number of group IDs defined in this PLMN. The maximum number of group IDs and group
call areas combined shall be 10 , The composition of a group call area is predefined in the network by the
service provider. Changing of cell allocations in the network due to operational reasons will need an
adaptation of the group call area definition. The group call area may include cells of more then one MSC
area and cells of more than one PLMN.

4 Description
The VBS is defined in the following. Figure 1 gives an explanation of the logical concept of the VBS.
a) The VBS enables a calling subscriber to send speech unidirectional and simultaneously to all
entitled dispatchers and to destination subscribers belonging to a predefined group call area who
have a subscription to the applicable group ID.
b) The calling subscriber may be any service subscriber which has subscribed to the related group ID
and is entitled to establish a voice broadcast call by his subscription or any dispatcher who is
entitled for it by his identity which shall be registered in the network.
The destination subscriber may be any service subscriber which has subscribed to the related
group ID or any dispatcher who is entitled for it by his identity which is registered in the network.
c) The broadcast call shall be established in a group call area which is comprised of one or a cluster of
cells. Group call areas shall be predefined in the network by the service provider, co-ordinated by
the network operator.
In case of a service subscriber initiating a VBS call, the group call area is uniquely identified by the
actual cell in which the service subscriber resides at the moment of VBS call initialization and by the
called group ID.
A dispatcher initiating a VBS call will be connected to a related predefined group call area. The
entitlement of the dispatcher is checked by the network element responsible for the voice broadcast
call management by verification of the calling identity. Since a disp
