SIST ETS 300 918 E3:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of ETS 300 918 Edition 3 for Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+) (GSM). It defines a recommended set of supplementary services for the Teleservices and Bearer services supported by a GSM public land mobile network (PLMN) when it works with other networks, and it points readers to the GSM 02.80 series and the technical realization specifications for the detailed service behavior.

What does SIST ETS 300 918 E3:2005 specify?

SIST ETS 300 918 E3:2005 specifies the framework for GSM supplementary services, how they relate to basic telecommunication services, and which services are supported in a GSM PLMN. It also states that supplementary services not covered in GSM 02.04 or the GSM 02.80 series cannot be introduced unilaterally if they would require changes to GSM signalling specifications.

The document is organized into these main clauses: scope, general definitions, categories and framework, supported supplementary services, password use, processing of supplementary service operations, and the format used to describe each service.

Annex BChange history

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 918 E3:2005?

Service model and applicability

SIST ETS 300 918 E3:2005 treats a supplementary service as something that modifies or enhances a basic telecommunication service, not as a stand-alone offer. That matters in practice because operators must associate each supplementary service with one or more basic services and manage it through service groups rather than isolated service codes.

Clause 3 explains that provision and withdrawal normally apply across the basic services a subscriber has, while registration, erasure, activation and deactivation apply to one or more groups of basic services. Table 3.2 groups the basic services, including speech, SMS, facsimile services, data circuit services, packet access, and voice group services, so that requests can be handled consistently across related services.

Supported services and line identity rules

Clause 4 and Table 4.1 list the supplementary services supported in the GSM PLMN and show, for each one, whether registration, erasure, activation, deactivation, invocation and interrogation are used. The supported set includes line identity services, call forwarding, call waiting, call hold, multi-party service, closed user group, advice of charge, call barring, explicit call transfer, completion of calls to busy subscribers, and support of private numbering plan.

Clause 4.1 adds a practical dependency for line identity services: if a PLMN supports CLIP, it shall also support CLIR, and if it supports CoLP, it shall also support CoLR. In day-to-day network design this means line presentation and line restriction must be implemented as matched pairs, so operators cannot offer one side of the feature without the corresponding control service.

Password-controlled supplementary services

Clause 5 covers the password option used with some supplementary services, such as Call Barring. When a subscriber uses this option, service control actions such as registration, erasure, activation and deactivation require password entry, and the password consists of four digits from 0000 to 9999.

The password handling rules matter because they define both normal and failure behavior. A correct password allows the request to proceed, while an incorrect password causes rejection and user notification; after more than three consecutive incorrect attempts, all password-related control procedures are blocked until the service provider re-enables them.

Processing of requests with basic service information

Clause 7.1 says the network shall process registration, erasure, activation and deactivation requests that include basic service information independently of the previous registration or activation state. In practice, the network only changes the basic service information carried in the request, leaving other service state unchanged.

Clause 7.1 also allows a combined basic service indication, such as “all basic services,” to be broken down by the network, and a request may be only partly successful if some service interactions block part of it. That is important for operations teams because the mobile station must be told when a request succeeds only for some of the selected basic services.

Group operations and interworking behavior

Clause 7.2 describes how the network handles grouped supplementary service operations. For example, collective control of all Call Forwarding services or all Conditional Call Forwarding services follows defined network behavior, and deactivation or erasure of these groups is handled as a set of individual operations.

The same clause limits what can be done for barring service passwords: password registration for any group other than all Barring Services is denied because only one common password is allowed per subscriber for barring services. It also states that interrogation of groups of supplementary services is not supported.

Clause 7.3 adds compatibility rules for calls where the basic service is not yet known, including the use of a default basic service in the Single Numbering Scheme and the rule that Call Forwarding must not alter the original BC-IE information sent with the forwarded call. In practice, this protects service behavior when GSM interworks with fixed networks or other numbering environments.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 918 E3:2005 define?

  • Provision - Making a service available to a subscriber, either generally to all subscribers or after pre-arrangement with the service provider.
  • Withdrawal - Removing a service from a subscriber’s access, either generally or for one subscriber only.
  • Registration - Programming service-related data so that the service can work later, and in some cases causing activation at the same time.
  • Erasure - Deleting information stored for a service by a previous registration.
  • Activation - Enabling a service process so it can run when needed, which may leave the service operative or quiescent.
  • Deactivation - Ending the process started by activation.
  • Invocation - Triggering the service, either by the subscriber or automatically by the network or terminal.
  • Interrogation - Asking the network for status or data about a specific supplementary service, such as status check, data check or data request.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 918 E3:2005?

GSM network operators use this standard to decide which supplementary services to support and how to present them across different basic services. Network engineers and service designers use it when configuring call forwarding, barring, line identity, call waiting, password control and group service behavior.

Equipment suppliers and test teams use it to implement and verify supplementary-service behavior in the Mobile Station and in the network. It is also relevant for procurement and quality management when checking that a GSM PLMN supports the service set expected for interworking with PSTN, ISDN, CSPDN, PSPDN and voice group services.

What changed in SIST ETS 300 918 E3:2005 from the previous edition?

The change history recorded for this line of GSM 02.04 publications shows these additions and updates on the way to the third edition:

  • provision for ECT
  • handling for VBS, VGCS and eMLPP
  • introduction of UUS
  • applicability updates for SPNP
  • introduction of Call Deflection
  • General Bearer Services (HSCSD)
  • inclusion of CCBS
  • inclusion of Voice Group Call Service and Voice Broadcast Call Service
  • separation of CCBS Service and CCBS Request

What does the SIST ETS 300 918 E3:2005 document contain?

The document includes the service framework, the service categories, the supported supplementary-service matrix, the password handling procedure, and the rules for processing operations that include basic service information. It also contains the table of basic service groups, the table of supported supplementary services, and the annex that maps supplementary services to telecommunication services.

It uses a fixed description structure for each supplementary service, covering definition, description, normal procedures, exceptional procedures, alternate procedures, interactions, interworking, dynamic description, and outstanding issues. Annex B then records the change history for the GSM 02.04 line.

1.2 Abbreviations
Abbreviations and acronyms used in this ETS are listed in GSM 01.04.
2 General
2.1 Supplementary service
A supplementary service modifies or supplements a basic Telecommunication service.
NOTE 1: Provision of supplementary services by PLMN operators may be considered as
essential (E) or additional (A). E-supplementary services shall be made available in all
GSM PLMNs. A-supplementary services may be offered by GSM PLMN operators for
national service and can be made available internationally on the basis of bilateral
agreement.
NOTE 2: Offered supplementary services may be used by subscribers/users at their discretion.
2.2 Concepts associated with supplementary services
For the purpose of this ETS the following terms are defined:
Provision
An action to make a service available to a subscriber. The provision may be:
- general: where the service is made available to all subscribers (subject to
compatibility restrictions enforced) without prior arrangements being made with the
service provider.
- pre-arranged: where the service is made available to an individual subscriber only after
the necessary arrangements have been made with the service provider.
Withdrawal
An action taken by the service provider to remove an available service from a subscriber's access.
The withdrawal may be:
- general: where the service is removed from all subscribers provided with the
service.
- specific: where the service is removed on an individual basis from subscribers
provided with the service.
Registration
The programming by the service provider or subscriber of information to enable subsequent
operation of a service. The programming action involves input of specific supplementary
information. For certain services the registration procedure may cause activation whilst for others
the service may already be in the action phase.

Page 9
ETS 300 918 (GSM 02.04 version 5.6.2): February 1998
Erasure
The deletion by the service provider, the subscriber or the system of information stored against a
particular service by a previous registration(s).
Activation
An action taken by either the service provider, the subscriber or the system to enable a process to
run as and when required by the service concerned, resulting in the active phase. Some services
can be either "operative" or "quiescent" (not operative) during the active phase according to whether
or not the system would be able to invoke or use the service.
Deactivation
An action taken by either the service provider, the subscriber or the system to terminate the process
started at the activation.
Invocation
An action to invoke the service required, taken by the subscriber (e.g. pressing a specific button) or
automatically by the network or terminal as a result of a particular condition (e.g. calling number
identification for each incoming call).
Normal operation with successful outcome
Description of the normal operation of the service, the normal served subscriber's actions and the
system response. Decision points, timing and call progress signals would be some of the aspects
defined for the service if they can be perceived by the subscriber.
Interrogation
The request by the subscriber to the PLMN to provide information about a specific supplementary
service. This information can be requested by a:
- status check;
The following values can be returned by the PLMN:
- not supported
- active and operative
- active and quiescent
- not active
Not all values are applicable to all supplementary services.
- data check;
This interrogation function compares the data input by the subscriber during an interrogation
procedure with the information stored in the PLMN. The PLMN signals an appropriate
indication (e.g. "check is positive" or "check is negative").
- data request;
This interrogation function enables the subscriber to obtain confirmation of her input data.
The PLMN signals an appropriate indication (e.g. "the forwarded-to number is etc."). The
response to a data request may comprise the status of the service (e.g. not active).
Exceptional operation or unsuccessful outcome
Abnormal situations not described in "normal operation with successful outcome". Procedures on
time-out, unexpected signalling response and other such events would be defined.
Interaction with other supplementary services
When more than one supplementary service is active, new logical situations, decisions, priorities,
etc., may arise. This section would identify and define the resolution of such situations as they affect
subscriber perception of the service. Special procedures may therefore be required, e.g. to allow,
where possible, the simultaneous use of different supplementary services by one mobile subscriber.
Interworking considerations
Identification of subscriber perceptions when a call exits from an ISDN/PLMN to another network or
enters an ISDN/PLMN from another network (e.g. PSTN).

Page 10
ETS 300 918 (GSM 02.04 version 5.6.2): February 1998
Unstructured SS Operations
These operations are characterized by:
- In the mobile to network direction the transparent transport of MMI strings entered by the
user to the network.
- In the network to mobile direction the transparent transport of text strings that are displayed
by the mobile for user information.
These operations provide capabilities that can either be used as part of operator specified services,
or to facilitate the early introduction of GSM specified services.
NOTE: This Specification does not distinguish between subscriber, user and customer, since
all three do not fully cover the textual needs. Generally the term "subscriber" is used,
even if this person is not having the subscription.
3 Categories and framework of supplementary services
3.1 Framework for the description of supplementary services
GSM 02.01 describes the principles of the Telecommunication services provided in a GSM PLMN. It also
defines the concepts of Telecommunication services and describes their characterization by appropriate
attributes. Bearer services and Teleservices, which are offered by a GSM PLMN in connection with other
networks, are respectively defined in GSM 02.02 and 02.03. Besides these basic Telecommunication
services, their enhancement or modification by supplementary services need also to be offered.
A supplementary service modifies or enhances a basic Telecommunication service and, hence, cannot be
offered to a subscriber on a stand alone basis. It must be offered together with or in association with a
basic Telecommunication service. The same supplementary service may be offered with a number of
different Telecommunication services. For applicability of a Supplementary Service to a
Telecommunication service refer to annex A.
Table 3.1/GSM 02.04 (identical to table 1/GSM 02.01 and to table 1 of CCITT Recommendation I.210)
illustrates the description of Telecommunication services.
Table 3.1/GSM 02.04: Categorisation of Telecommunication services
TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICE
BEARER SERVICE TELESERVICE
Basic Bearer Basic Bearer service + Basic Teleservice Basic Teleservice +
Service supplementary services supplementary service
Provision and withdrawal of a supplementary service, with the exception of Closed User Group, shall apply
to all basic services the subscriber subscribes to.
Registration, erasure, activation and deactivation of a supplementary service shall apply to one or more
group of basic services. The groups of basic services are defined to avoid handling of many basic service
codes.
An operation is effective on the basic services, within the basic service group, which have been
provisioned and for which the supplementary service is applicable. The fact that a basic service is
provisioned but is not supplied by the network shall not lead to reject the request. The request shall be
accepted since there is one basic service within the group(s) which is provisioned and for which the
supplementary service is applicable. For applicability of a Supplementary Service to a basic service or
service group refer to annex A.
Note that Supplementary Service operations on "alternate" and "followed by" Bearer Services (BS61 and
BS81) are managed on the basis of the Bearer Service BS2x or BS3x corresponding to the data part of
the "alternate" and "followed by" Bearer Services. This means that subscribers with a subscription to basic
services BS61 or BS81 can perform call independent supplementary service operations against the

Page 11
ETS 300 918 (GSM 02.04 version 5.6.2): February 1998
groups "all data circuit asynchronous" and "all data circuit synchronous" regardless of whether or not they
have a subscription to any of the basic services in the set BS2x or BS3x.
This is also required for the invocation of a supplementary service related to the "alternate" and "followed
by" Bearer Services.
The basic service groups are define in table 3.2/GSM 02.04.
