SIST EN 300 904 V6.1.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of EN 300 904 V6.1.1, an ETSI European Standard for GSM bearer services. It specifies the bearer services supported by a GSM Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) for its subscribers and for interworking with other networks. For engineers and buyers, it is the reference that names the service categories, the attribute framework behind them, and the common service characteristics used in GSM planning and implementation.
What does SIST EN 300 904 V6.1.1:2003 specify?
SIST EN 300 904 V6.1.1:2003 defines a set of Bearer Services (BS) for a GSM PLMN and links them to the network capabilities needed to support them. It is used as a reference for the GSM PLMN connection type concept in GSM 03.10.
The document is organized into:
- Clause 0 - scope and references
- Clause 1 - framework for defining Bearer Services
- Clause 2 - bearer service categories
- Clause 3 - bearer services and general bearer service user data characteristics
- Annex A - change history

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 904 V6.1.1:2003?
The standard defines bearer services through separate attribute groups. Clause 1 groups them into information transfer, access, interworking, and general attributes. In practice, this lets a network team check each service as a set of capabilities rather than as a single vague label.
Clause 1 also states that the GSM bearer service definitions use the “Minimal Set” of attributes. Table 1 shows which attributes belong to that set, including information transfer mode, rate, capability, establishment of communication, symmetry, communication configuration, access structure and rate, and quality of service. That matters because these are the characteristics a buyer or designer needs to verify when comparing service support.
Clause 2 classifies bearer services into the main service families used in GSM:
- Unrestricted Digital Information (UDI)
- 3,1 kHz audio, external to the PLMN
- PAD
- Packet
- Alternate Speech/Data
- Speech followed by Data
- General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
These categories tell the reader whether the service is for unrestricted digital transfer, modem-style interworking, packet access, or mixed speech/data use.
Clause 3 gives the common bearer-service characteristics. It states that the bearer services share circuit information transfer mode, demand establishment, bi-directional symmetric communication, and point-to-point configuration, with GPRS requiring packet mode. In practice, this is the baseline a network must support unless a service note says otherwise.
Clause 3 and Table 2 then list the bearer services and their remaining minimal-set attributes. The table distinguishes asynchronous and synchronous services, transparent and non-transparent access, and special cases such as mobile-originated-only services. For planning and testing, this is the table that maps a requested service to its service number and attribute set.
Subclause 3.1 gives the user-data characteristics for the general bearer services. It covers:
- 3,1 kHz Audio
- V.110 UDI
- X.31 Flag Stuffing UDI
- V.120
- Bit Transparent Mode
These tables show the fixed network user rates, access structure, user information layer 1 protocol, and QoS attributes, which is what implementers need when matching terminal equipment and interworking functions.
What terms does SIST EN 300 904 V6.1.1:2003 define?
- Bearer Service (BS) - A service defined by attributes for information transfer between user access points.
- PLMN - Public Land Mobile Network, the GSM mobile network that provides the services.
- UDI - Unrestricted Digital Information, meaning the bearer carries digital information without speech-specific constraints.
- PAD - Packet Assembly/Disassembly, the access function used for asynchronous packet-network access.
- GPRS - General Packet Radio Service, the packet bearer service that supports interworking with IP and X.25 networks.
- V.110 - A user-information protocol used for UDI bearer services.
- V.120 - A protocol used for bearer service interworking with terminal adapters on the ISDN side.
Who uses SIST EN 300 904 V6.1.1:2003?
GSM network operators use this standard to decide which bearer services to offer and what network capabilities they need. Equipment vendors and terminal-adaptation designers use it to build mobile stations, interworking functions, and BSS/MSC support that match the specified bearer types. Test and quality teams use it to confirm that service offerings, interworking behavior, and data-service profiles match the GSM definitions.
What changed in SIST EN 300 904 V6.1.1:2003 from the previous edition?
The foreword identifies this version as Release 1997 of GSM Phase 2+. Annex A records the move from R96 to R97 and notes the addition of supplementary code for GPRS. It also records an earlier change on HSCSD use of multiple time slots in alternate and followed-by services.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 904 V6.1.1:2003?
The standard relies on GSM 01.04 for abbreviations, GSM 02.01 for the general principles and attribute definitions, and GSM 03.10 for GSM PLMN connection types. GSM 04.02, GSM 07.01, GSM 07.02, GSM 07.03, and GSM 07.05 support access and terminal adaptation functions, while GSM 09.03, 09.04, 09.05, 09.06, 09.07, 09.10, and 09.11 cover interworking with ISDN, PSTN, CSPDN, and packet networks. GSM 02.60, GSM 07.60, and GSM 09.60 are used for GPRS, and CCITT Recommendation V.120 is the referenced terminal protocol.
What does the SIST EN 300 904 V6.1.1:2003 document contain?
The document contains the bearer-service framework, the service categories, and the service tables that assign attributes to each bearer service. It also includes the general bearer service user-data characteristic tables for 3,1 kHz Audio, V.110 UDI, X.31 Flag Stuffing UDI, V.120, and Bit Transparent Mode. Figure 2 shows the V.120 interworking model between a GSM PLMN and ISDN equipment, which helps explain how data terminals are adapted across networks. Annex A provides the change history for release tracking.
