SIST EN 300 926 V8.0.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 926 V8.0.1. It specifies the Stage 1 service description of the GSM Voice Broadcast Service (VBS), which lets a calling subscriber broadcast speech, or other signals carried by the speech codec, to subscribers in a predefined group call area. It is written for service providers, network operators and implementers who need to plan VBS provisioning, call control, charging and service interactions.
What does SIST EN 300 926 V8.0.1:2003 specify?
SIST EN 300 926 V8.0.1:2003 specifies the VBS from the service subscriber's and user's point of view. It covers how the service is provided, how calls are set up and released, what happens when a call fails, and how VBS interacts with other GSM services and features.
The scope also makes clear that the document is not about Man-Machine Interface (MMI) requirements. Those details are left to the relevant GSM specifications.
The document is organized into:
- Scope and references
- Definitions and abbreviations
- Service description
- Normal operation
- Exceptional procedures
- Interaction with GSM services and features
- Interworking considerations
- Annex A with the status history of GSM 02.69
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 926 V8.0.1:2003?
SIST EN 300 926 V8.0.1:2003 defines the main service behavior for VBS and the network functions that make it work.
Provisioning and subscription - Clause 5.1 says VBS is offered by prior arrangement with the service provider, with group IDs assigned to the subscriber. A subscription can allow only reception, or reception plus the ability to initiate voice broadcast calls, including while roaming. In practice, the operator must control who can call and whether roaming callers are allowed.
Network configuration - Clause 5.3 says each voice broadcast call has pre-registered attributes such as the group ID, the group call area composition, dispatcher identities, and the broadcast call reference identity used for COLP. This means the network, not the caller, predefines the service behavior.
Call establishment and reach - Clause 5.4 says a service subscriber or dispatcher dials a specific short code or address to start VBS. The network then establishes the call to subscribers with the active group ID who are in the group call area, plus related dispatchers. Destination subscribers are notified by group ID, not individually paged.
Dynamic participation - Clause 4 and 5.4 say subscribers who enter the group call area during an ongoing VBS call become destination subscribers within 500 ms after the first notification message, while those who leave stop being destination subscribers. In practice, the service follows location changes during the call.
Authentication, confidentiality and priority - Clause 4 says authentication is mandatory at GSM call set-up, but the calling subscriber's authentication may be delayed to speed up VBS call initiation; destination subscribers are not authenticated because they have no uplink connection. Clause 4 also says radio-path confidentiality is optional and that eMLPP priority and pre-emption rules apply.
Failure handling and partial setup - Clause 6 says the network must indicate failure reasons when the caller is not subscribed or the service cannot be provided. It also allows a call to count as established even if not every cell or dispatcher is included within the preset time, as long as the minimum defined coverage is reached.
Service interactions - Clause 7 explains how VBS behaves with CLIP, CLIR, COLP, call forwarding, call waiting, hold, MPTY, CUG, AoC, barring, ECT, SMS and ODB. This matters because VBS changes the normal behavior of several GSM features, especially for service subscribers versus dispatchers.
What terms does SIST EN 300 926 V8.0.1:2003 define?
- 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 play this role.
- service subscriber - A mobile subscriber who subscribes to VBS.
- voice broadcast call - A VBS call started by a VBS subscriber; the term is used synonymously with VBS call.
- group ID - The numerical identifier that links subscribers to a VBS broadcast group.
- group call area - The predefined area, made of one cell or a cluster of cells, where a VBS call is distributed.
- dispatcher - A fixed or mobile user pre-defined in the network who can receive and, in some cases, initiate VBS calls for a group ID.
Who uses SIST EN 300 926 V8.0.1:2003?
SIST EN 300 926 V8.0.1:2003 is used by GSM network operators and service providers to define VBS service offerings, dispatcher identities and group call areas. It is also used by network and service engineers who implement call setup, charging records, priority handling and service interactions.
Quality managers and buyers use it to check whether a GSM system needs VBS support for subscribers, dispatchers, roaming use or call acknowledgements. It is also relevant to anyone planning interworking with CLIP, COLP, barring, forwarding or SMS behavior.
What changed in SIST EN 300 926 V8.0.1:2003 from the previous edition?
Annex A and the document history show a publication update to Version 8.0.1. The same history also records the earlier move to Version 8.0.0 as the specification upgrade to Release 1999.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 926 V8.0.1:2003?
- GSM 01.04 - Supplies the abbreviations and acronyms used throughout the document.
- GSM 02.67 - Provides the stage 1 description of enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Pre-emption service (eMLPP), which VBS uses for priority and pre-emption.
- GSM 12.05 - Provides subscriber-related event and call data used for charging records.
For this Release 1999 document, references to GSM documents point to Release 1999 versions.
What does the SIST EN 300 926 V8.0.1:2003 document contain?
The document contains the service description, call handling rules and service interactions for VBS. Clause 4 gives the logical concept of the service, including who can call, who can receive, and how group IDs and group call areas work.
Clauses 5 and 6 cover normal operation, provisioning, charging-related data and exceptional cases such as failed setup or partial coverage. Clause 7 lists the interaction with GSM features like CLIP, COLP, forwarding, barring, call waiting, hold, MPTY, CUG, AoC, ECT, SMS and ODB.
The document also includes Figure 1, which explains the logical concept of VBS, and Annex A, which gives the status history of GSM 02.69.

1 Scope
The present document 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.
The present document does not deal with the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) requirements, but makes reference to the
appropriate Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) specifications.
The present document 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 the present document.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and 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.
3.2 Abbreviations
Abbreviations used in the present document are listed in GSM 01.04.
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.
