SIST EN 300 924 V6.0.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 924 V6.0.1 for the GSM enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Pre-emption service (eMLPP) at Stage 1. It describes how eMLPP behaves from the subscriber and user point of view in GSM Phase 2+ / Release 1997 networks, including priority handling, fast call set-up, and pre-emption. The document is for network operators, service providers, and mobile subscribers who need to plan, offer, or use this supplementary service.
What does SIST EN 300 924 V6.0.1:2003 specify?
SIST EN 300 924 V6.0.1:2003 specifies the Stage 1 service description of eMLPP in digital cellular telecommunications systems. Clause 1 says the service is a network operator option, can apply to the whole network or a subset, and applies to network resources in common use and to mobile stations with an eMLPP subscription.
The document is organized into scope, references, definitions and abbreviations, description, normal operation, exceptional procedures, alternate procedures, interaction with other supplementary services, and interworking considerations. Annex A is informative and gives the status history of GSM 02.67.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 924 V6.0.1:2003?
Clause 4 sets out the core behavior of eMLPP. The service provides precedence for call set-up and call continuity, and pre-emption when a higher priority call needs resources. In practice, that means the network must be able to prefer some calls over others and, when needed, clear a lower priority call.
The standard defines up to seven priority levels: A, B, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Levels A and B are reserved for network internal use, while levels 0 to 4 are for subscription. A and B are mapped to level 0 outside the MSC area where they are applied, which matters for interworking and for consistent treatment across network boundaries.
Priority handling depends on call type. For mobile originated calls, the calling subscriber’s subscription and chosen level apply; if no eMLPP subscription exists, the network uses a default level. For mobile terminated calls, the calling party’s priority determines treatment, and interworking with ISDN MLPP is required where appropriate.
Clause 4 also defines three call set-up performance classes: fast, normal, and slow. The set-up targets are tied to service planning and normal operating conditions, so operators have to design the network to meet the class they offer.
Pre-emption is only available for levels that the network operator assigns that capability to. When congestion occurs, the network may seize resources from lower priority calls, including during handover to a congested cell. The pre-empted subscriber must receive a suitable indication, which is important for user experience and service handling.
Clauses 5 and 8 describe provisioning and service interaction. The maximum authorized precedence level is set by the service provider, can be changed or withdrawn, and the default level for mobile originated calls can be registered in the network or by subscriber control. The document also covers automatic answering, Call Waiting (CW), Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU), Call Forwarding on mobile subscriber busy (CFB), Call Forwarding on No Reply (CFNRy), Call Hold, and other supplementary services. For example, incoming higher priority calls can override CW in defined cases, while CFU preserves call precedence during forwarding.
Clause 5.10 and 5.11, plus clause 6, address interrogation, charging, and failure handling. A subscriber may interrogate the usable priority range and the default level, and the utilized precedence level can be extracted from event records if it differs from the default. If the network cannot provide the service as expected, the subscriber must be informed.
What terms does SIST EN 300 924 V6.0.1:2003 define?
- eMLPP - enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Pre-emption service, the supplementary service described by the document.
- Calling subscriber - the service subscriber who invokes eMLPP for a call.
- Network operator - the entity that provides the network elements and resources used to execute eMLPP.
- Precedence - the priority assigned to a call.
- Service provider - the entity that offers eMLPP for subscription.
- Service subscriber - the mobile subscriber who subscribes to eMLPP.
Who uses SIST EN 300 924 V6.0.1:2003?
SIST EN 300 924 V6.0.1:2003 is used by GSM network operators, service providers, and telecom engineers who design priority handling and pre-emption in mobile networks. It is also relevant to service planners and quality or operations teams that have to define subscription levels, set-up performance, forwarding behavior, and charging records. Equipment and SIM implementers use it when they need the mobile station and network to enforce the authorized precedence level and support the related user procedures.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 924 V6.0.1:2003?
The document references several GSM and ITU-T specifications that support its procedures and interworking:
- GSM 01.04 - abbreviations and acronyms.
- GSM 02.04 - general rules for supplementary services.
- GSM 02.24 - charge advice information.
- GSM 02.40 - call progress indications.
- GSM 02.68 and GSM 02.69 - Stage 1 descriptions for VGCS and VBS.
- GSM 03.05 - technical performance objectives.
- GSM 03.68 and GSM 03.69 - Stage 2 descriptions for VGCS and VBS.
- ITU-T Recommendation I.255.3 - ISDN Multi-Level Precedence and Pre-emption stage 1, used for interworking.
What does the SIST EN 300 924 V6.0.1:2003 document contain?
Clause 4 contains the service model, including the seven priority levels, set-up classes, automatic answering behavior, and the example service composition table that links levels to set-up time and pre-emption. Clause 5 describes provision, withdrawal, registration, invocation, charging, and normal operation from the user and subscriber point of view.
Clause 8 lists interactions with other supplementary services such as CLIP, CLIR, CFU, CFB, CFNRy, CW, Call Hold, MPTY, CUG, AoC, BAOC, BOIC, BOIC-exHC, BAIC, BIC-Roam, and ECT. Clause 9 covers interworking with other networks through MLPP. Annex A gives the status history of GSM 02.67.

ETSIEN 300 924 V6.0.1 (1999-09)5GSM 02.67 version 6.0.1 Release 19971ScopeThe present document specifies the stage 1 description of the enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Pre-emptionService (eMLPP). This service has two parts: precedence and pre-emption. Precedence involves assigning a prioritylevel to a call in combination with fast call set-up. Pre-emption involves the seizing of resources, which are in use by acall of a lower precedence, by a higher level precedence call in the absence of idle resources. Pre-emption can alsoinvolve the disconnection of an on-going call of lower precedence to accept an incoming call of higher precedence.The eMLPP service is provided as a network operator's option to a domain of a network. The domain can be the wholenetwork or a subset of the network. The eMLPP service applies to all network resources in the domain that is incommon use. The eMLPP service is applicable to all mobile stations in the domain with all or some mobile stationshaving a respective subscription assigning precedence according to the eMLPP service.eMLPP is a supplementary service and shall be provided to a subscriber for all basic services subscribed to and forwhich eMLPP applies.NOTE:It is under study whether 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.The present document does not deal with the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) requirements, but makes reference to theappropriate Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) specifications.The present document is applicable to teleservices 1x and 6x and to all bearer services used in a mobile networkaccording to the digital cellular telecommunications system GSM if eMLPP is provided.

The subscriber may select a precedence level up to and including the maximum precedencelevel subscribed to, on a per call basis.There are at maximum 7 priority levels. The two highest levels are reserved for network internal use, e.g. foremergency calls or the network related service configurations for specific voice broadcast or voice group callservices. These two levels can only be used locally, i.e. in the domain of one MSC. The other five priority levelsare offered for subscription and can be applied globally, e.g. on inter switch trunks, if supported by all relatednetwork elements, and also for interworking with ISDN networks providing the MLPP service.SIST EN 300 924 V6.0.1:2003
