SIST EN 300 926 V7.0.2:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 926 Version 7.0.2 for GSM Release 1998. It specifies the Stage 1 service description of Voice Broadcast Service (VBS), which lets a calling subscriber send speech to all entitled receivers in a predefined group call area. The document is aimed at network operators, service providers, and implementation teams that need to configure, support, or assess VBS behavior.
What does SIST EN 300 926 V7.0.2:2003 specify?
SIST EN 300 926 V7.0.2:2003 defines the user-service view of VBS in the GSM system. It covers how the service is provided, how a broadcast call is set up and released, what happens when setup fails, and how VBS interacts with selected GSM supplementary services.
The standard applies to mobile stations in a network and area that can technically receive VBS and that have the right subscription. It does not cover Man-Machine Interface (MMI) requirements. The document is organized into clauses on references, definitions and abbreviations, service description, normal operation, exceptional procedures, interaction with GSM services and features, and interworking considerations, followed by informative Annex A on the status history of GSM 02.69.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 926 V7.0.2:2003?
Provision and configuration
- Clause 5.1 says VBS is provided after prior arrangements with the service provider, and the subscription includes assignment of groupID values. In practice, the operator must provision each subscriber for the specific broadcast groups they may use.
- Clause 5.1 also allows two subscription options: the ability to initiate voice broadcast calls, and the ability to initiate them while roaming. This matters because roaming use can be enabled separately from home-network use.
- Clause 5.3 requires each broadcast call to be pre-registered in the network with its groupID, group call area composition, dispatcher identities, allowed initiators, a broadcast call reference identity for COLP, and optional acknowledgement recipients. In practice, this is the control data that drives who can start the call and who is reached.
Call setup, coverage, and user behavior
- Clause 4 and clause 5.4 define VBS as a unidirectional broadcast of speech to entitled dispatchers and destination subscribers in the relevant group call area. This means the caller speaks once and the network distributes the speech to all receivers in the area.
- Clause 5.4 says the service is started by dialing a specific short code or address, and the calling subscriber receives an indication when the call is established. In practice, the caller should wait for that indication before speaking.
- Clause 4 and clause 5.4 define the destination set by groupID and location, and they treat subscribers entering or leaving the area during an ongoing call in a specific way. This matters for paging behavior and for how coverage changes during the call.
- Clause 4 says authentication is mandatory at GSM call setup, but it may be delayed at invocation for faster setup, and radio-path confidentiality is optional. Implementers need to support secure setup while allowing fast call start when configured.
- Clause 4 also allows certain priorities to require receipt acknowledgement at the end of the call, with the times of reception start and end recorded for a predefined recipient. This is relevant where the service is used for controlled alerting.
Charging, failure handling, and GSM interactions
- Clause 5.5 ties charging to GSM12.05 event data and to resource usage such as the cell identities used during the call. Billing and mediation systems therefore need VBS-specific call records.
- Clause 6 says the network must return a failure indication if a subscriber is not entitled or the service is unavailable, and dispatcher requests must be rejected if the dispatcher is not entitled. It also defines when a call can still be treated as established if only part of the group call area was reached in time.
- Clause 7 sets the interaction rules with supplementary services. CLIP and COLP show the broadcast call reference, including the group call area ID and groupID; CLIR and COLR are supported with possible network override; and eMLPP governs priority and pre-emption. Several call-control features are treated differently for service subscribers and dispatchers, so network logic must distinguish between those roles.
What terms does SIST EN 300 926 V7.0.2:2003 define?
- network operator - the entity that provides the operating network elements and resources needed to run VBS.
- service provider - the entity that offers VBS for subscription; the network operator may also fill this role.
- service subscriber - a mobile subscriber who subscribes to VBS and may receive, and in some cases initiate, broadcast calls.
- voice broadcast call - a VBS call initiated by a VBS subscriber and used to distribute speech to the selected receivers.
- groupID - the numerical classification used to identify the broadcast group within the network.
- dispatcher - a predefined fixed-line or mobile user who can receive broadcast calls and, when authorized, initiate them.
- group call area - a predefined area made up of one cell or a cluster of cells where the broadcast call is distributed.
Who uses SIST EN 300 926 V7.0.2:2003?
Network operators and service providers use SIST EN 300 926 V7.0.2:2003 to provision groupIDs, define group call areas, register dispatchers, and set roaming and charging behavior. GSM core-network and terminal implementers use it to build call setup, paging, release, barring, and supplementary-service handling for VBS.
It is also useful for test, quality, and procurement teams that need to check whether a product or service supports Release 1998 VBS behavior, especially call setup, acknowledgements, and interactions with CLIP, CLIR, COLP, eMLPP, and related GSM features.
What changed in SIST EN 300 926 V7.0.2:2003 from the previous edition?
Annex A records the evolution of GSM 02.69 and shows that Version 7.0.2 is a publication update. The history also notes an earlier change to clause 5.5 to add charging information for broadcast calls, including information passed between the serving MSC and the anchor MSC.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 926 V7.0.2:2003?
- GSM01.04 - provides the abbreviations and acronyms used by this document.
- GSM02.67 - supplies the Stage 1 description of enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Pre-emption service (eMLPP), which VBS uses for priority handling.
- GSM12.05 - provides the subscriber-related event and call data used for charging records.
What does the SIST EN 300 926 V7.0.2:2003 document contain?
The document contains a logical concept figure for VBS, together with the service rules for provisioning, call setup, receipt notification, and call release. It also sets out how the network configures groupIDs, group call areas, and dispatcher relations.
It includes the interaction rules for supplementary services such as CLIP, CLIR, COLP, CFU, CFB, CFNRy, CFNRc, CW, HOLD, MPTY, CUG, AoC, BAOC, BOIC, BOIC-exHC, BAIC, BIC-Roam, ECT, eMLPP, SMS, and ODB. Annex A gives the status history of GSM 02.69.
