(Main)Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2) (GSM); Performance data measurements (GSM 12.04)
- Abstract
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) describes the requirements for the management of performance measurements and the collection of performance measurement data across a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). It defines the administration of measurement schedules, the generation of measurement results in the Network Elements (NEs) and the transfer of these results to the Operations System (OS). It also describes how the various requirements can be modelled as part of the generic PLMN information model. A set of measurements available for collection by NEs are described in annex B, effort has been made to ensure consistency in the definition of measurements between different NEs. The following is beyond the scope ETS, and therefore this ETS does not describe: - how the data, once accumulated and collected, could or should be processed, stored, or presented to an end user; - the information which may be obtained through the collection and processing of call or event related records which have been produced by the NEs primarily for the purpose of raising bills and other charges. The management requirements have been derived from existing telecommunications operations experience. The management definitions were then derived from other standardisation work so as to minimise the re-invention factor. References are given as appropriate. The objectives of this standardisation are: to normalise the description of each measurement; and to produce a common description of the management technique for result accumulation and transmission across a management interface. The normalisation is intended to result in comparability of measurement data produced in a multi-vendor PLMN. As far as possible, existing standardisation in the area of performanre management has been re-used and enhanced where particular requirements, peculiar to the mobile telephony environment, have been recognised.

SIST ETS 300 615 E1:2003 is the Slovene standard identical to ETS 300 615 Edition 1 from ETSI. It specifies GSM Phase 2 performance data measurements for a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), covering how measurements are scheduled, how Network Elements (NEs) generate results, and how those results are transferred to the Operations System (OS). The standard is aimed at operators and implementers who need comparable performance data across a multi-vendor network.
What does SIST ETS 300 615 E1:2003 specify?
SIST ETS 300 615 E1:2003 sets the management rules for performance measurement across a PLMN. It covers measurement scheduling, result generation in NEs, transfer to the OS, and the way these functions are modelled in the generic PLMN information model.
The standard stops at collection and transfer. It leaves operator-specific processing, storage, presentation to end users, and billing-record analysis outside its scope.
The document is organised as follows:
- Clause 1 sets the scope, normative references, and abbreviations.
- Clause 2 explains the performance measurement concept.
- Clause 3 states the performance management requirements.
- Clause 4 gives the detailed object model, conformance requirements, and application context.
- Clause 5 notes future enhancements.
- Annex A gives graphical examples.
- Annex B lists the normative performance measurement requirements.
- Annex C defines the object model in detail.
- Annex D defines data transfer requirements.
- Annex E gives additional measurements for other GSM objects and related functions.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | Graphical examples showing how measurements combine for practical cases such as authentication, routing, and location updating |
| Annex B | Normative measurement summary for BSC, BTS/CELL, MSC, HLR, VLR, EIR, and SMS IWMSC/GMSC functions |
| Annex C | Managed object classes, packages, attributes, name bindings, behaviour definitions, and ASN.1 syntax |
| Annex D | Data transfer requirements from NE to OS, including log-oriented transfer objects |
| Annex E | Additional measurements for GSM objects and non-specific GSM objects, including PCM system, MTP, SCCP, TCAP, and ISUP |
Annex B is the main catalogue of measurements available to NEs. It also aims for consistency in how different NEs define the same kind of measurement, which is important when data from several vendors must be compared.
What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 615 E1:2003?
SIST ETS 300 615 E1:2003 requires an operator-controlled measurement process, standardised result handling, and an OSI-based management model for exchanging measurement data. In practice, that means the OS must be able to plan, activate, collect, store, and transfer measurements in a consistent way.
Measurement planning and administration
Clause 2 and Clause 3 require the OS to administer measurement jobs, not just collect counters. A measurement job has to define the measurement types, the schedule, the granularity period, reporting, and job state/status attributes.
That matters because performance data is only useful if it is collected in a repeatable way. The operator has to know which NE is being measured, when the measurement starts and stops, and how often the result is reported.
Clause 2 also groups measurement needs into traffic, network configuration evaluation, resource access, Quality of Service (QOS), and resource availability. This makes the scope practical for network management: the same data can support load analysis, fault localisation, and service-quality tracking.
Measurement results and transfer
Clause 2.2.3 to 2.2.5 and Clause 3.3 require measurement results to be stored locally in the NE and then transferred to the OS. Clause 4.3 states that each measurement produces a result at the end of the granularity period or on request of the OS.
In practice, the NE must keep the measurement data long enough to export it reliably. The OS then receives the data for later use in network analysis or reporting, while the standard itself stops before operator-specific presentation.
Object model and conformance
Clause 4.2 maps a measurement job to a simpleScanner object. Clause 4.3 maps measurement results to attribute values, and Annex C defines the managed object classes, packages, attributes, name bindings, and behaviour definitions that support that model.
This matters because the standard does not leave measurement data as a vague concept. It tells implementers how the job and result are represented in the management interface, so systems from different vendors can interwork.
Clause 4.4 defines conformance requirements for the simpleScanner, scanReportRecord, scanReport notification, and activate scan report action. It also says that where this ETS narrows the options of CCITT Recommendation X.738, the ETS takes precedence.
That means implementers have to follow the GSM-specific rules, not only the generic OSI management model.
Measurement definitions and catalogue
Clause 2.3 requires each measurement to have a defined result type, perceived accuracy, comparability, and identification. This is what makes measurements useful across a multi-vendor PLMN.
Annex B presents each measurement in a fixed template with a description, collection method, condition, attribute name, expected result, and measurement function name. The collection methods are CC, GAUGE, DER, and SI. In practice, this tells the implementer whether the value is a counter, a variable, an event-based record, or a status check.
Annex B groups the measurements by function and network area, including BSC, CELL/BTS, internal HDO, MSC, external HDO, HLR, VLR, EIR, and SMS IWMSC/GMSC. That helps an operator select the counters relevant to a specific part of the network instead of treating the PLMN as one undifferentiated block.
Data exchange and application context
Clause 4.5 fixes the gsm12.04 management application context for communication between OS and NE. This is important for interworking, because the management session has to agree on the correct application context before measurement data can be exchanged.
Annex D then defines the transfer requirements from the NE to the OS using the generic EFD, Log and File transfer facility from GSM 12.00. In practical terms, the measurement export path is standardised rather than vendor-specific.
Clause 5 also notes an implementation constraint: simpleScanner can scan an attribute but cannot perform calculations on it. If a mean value is needed, the attribute itself has to represent that mean value, which affects how the measurement function is implemented.
What terms does SIST ETS 300 615 E1:2003 define?
- Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) - the mobile network environment whose performance is measured across its elements.
- Network Element (NE) - a managed network node that generates measurement results and may store them locally before transfer.
- Operations System (OS) - the management system that administers measurement jobs and collects results from the NEs.
- Base Station Controller (BSC) - the radio network controller with a dedicated measurement function in Annex B.
- Base Transceiver Station (BTS) - the radio site whose cell-level measurements are grouped under the CELL measurement function.
- Mobile Services Switching Centre (MSC) - the switching node covered by call, handover, location, and service measurements.
- Home Location Register (HLR) - the subscriber database used for roaming, authentication, routing, and service-related measurements.
- Visitor Location Register (VLR) - the register that tracks visiting subscribers and supports paging, authentication, and location updates.
Who uses SIST ETS 300 615 E1:2003?
SIST ETS 300 615 E1:2003 is used by GSM network operators, O&M teams, and network management designers who need standardised performance data across a PLMN. Equipment vendors use it when they implement measurement functions in BSC, BTS, MSC, HLR, VLR, EIR, and SMS IWMSC/GMSC nodes.
It is also useful to integration and test teams checking whether measurement jobs, scan reporting, and data transfer work across the OS and the NEs. Buyers and quality managers can use it to judge whether a network product exposes the performance data needed for operations, capacity checks, and troubleshooting.
Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 615 E1:2003?
SIST ETS 300 615 E1:2003 relies on several GSM and CCITT/ISO references to define the procedures and management model behind the measurements:
- GSM 02.16 and GSM 04.08 - provide IMEI and layer 3 procedure details used by service, authentication, and cause-related measurements.
- GSM 04.11 and GSM 09.02 - provide SMS support and MAP procedures used by SMS, HLR, VLR, and EIR measurements.
- GSM 05.08, GSM 08.08, and GSM 08.58 - provide radio link control and BSC/BTS, MSC/BSS interface procedures used by traffic and handover measurements.
- GSM 12.00, GSM 12.01, and GSM 12.06 - provide the network management framework, common aspects, and configuration management context.
- GSM 12.30 - provides the object identifier tree used for the management application context and object registration.
- CCITT Recommendation E.880 - provides field data collection and evaluation concepts for performance measurements.
- CCITT Recommendations X.710, X.721, X.730, X.731, X.734, X.735, X.738, and X.739 - provide the OSI management functions, state and event handling, log control, summarization, and metric object model used in Clause 4 and Annex C.
- ISO 8571 - provides the file transfer background for the transfer facility used in Annex D.
What does the SIST ETS 300 615 E1:2003 document contain?
SIST ETS 300 615 E1:2003 contains a worked set of measurement examples in Annex A for authentication, HLR routing, and location updating. These examples show how several measurement attributes can be combined to observe one operational function.
Annex B contains the measurement catalogue itself, including the description, collection method, condition, attribute name, result type, and measurement function name for each item. Annex C turns that catalogue into a formal object model with managed object classes, packages, name bindings, and ASN.1 type definitions.
Annex D contains the data transfer model for moving scan report records from the NE to the OS, while Annex E lists additional measurements for GSM objects and non-specific GSM objects such as PCM system, MTP, SCCP, TCAP, and ISUP. Clause 5 also explains the implementation implications of simpleScanner when derived values such as means are needed.
