(Main)Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+) (GSM); General Packet Radio Service (GPRS); Service description; Stage 2 (GSM 03.60 version 6.6.1 Release 1997)
- Abstract
This specification defines the stage-2 service description for a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) on GSM. In analogy with CCITT Recommendations I.130 [1] and with reference to CCITT Recommendations VI.1 Q.65 (Stage 2 of the method for the characterisation of services supported by an ISDN), the second stage of the following three-level structure is derived from a stage 1 service description. Stage 1 is an overall service description, from the service subscriber s and user s standpoints, that views the network as a single entity which provides services to the user. Stage 2 identifies the functional capabilities and information flows needed to support the service described in stage 1. Furthermore, it identifies various possible physical locations for the functional capabilities. The output of Stage 2, which is signalling system independent, is used as an input to Stage 3, the design of signalling system and switching Recommendations. Stage 3 defines the signalling system protocols and switching functions needed to implement the service described in stage 2.

SIST EN 301 344 V6.6.1:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of the ETSI European Standard for GSM General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). It gives the stage-2 service description for GPRS on GSM, defining the functional capabilities, information flows, and logical architecture needed to support the service. In practice, it helps network engineers, vendors, and operators understand how GPRS is organised before signalling and switching details are defined elsewhere.
What does SIST EN 301 344 V6.6.1:2005 specify?
SIST EN 301 344 V6.6.1:2005 specifies the stage-2 service description for GPRS on GSM. It follows the stage-1 to stage-2 to stage-3 model: stage 2 turns the service view into functional capabilities and information flows, and the result is signalling-system independent.
The standard covers the first phase of GPRS and leaves out the lower layers of the GSM radio interface. Its structure runs from the scope, references, definitions, and concepts through architecture, mobility management, packet routing and transfer, transmission, storage, identities, operational aspects, and interactions with other GSM services.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 344 V6.6.1:2005?
SIST EN 301 344 V6.6.1:2005 defines how GPRS is organised, how subscribers attach and move, how packets are routed, and how security and service interactions work. The main practical value is that it tells you what the network nodes must do and which procedures they must support.
Architecture and interworking
Clause 5 defines the GPRS access points and reference points, including Um, R, Gp, Gi, Gn, Gp, Gr, Gs, Gc, and Gf. It also defines the main nodes - SGSN, GGSN, HLR, SMS-GMSC, and SMS-IWMSC - and the backbone networks that connect them. For implementers, this is the map of where signalling and user data flow.
Network access, routing, and transfer
Clause 5.3 splits GPRS into network access control, packet routeing and transfer, mobility management, logical link management, radio resource management, and network management. It includes functions such as authentication, admission control, message screening, encapsulation, tunnelling, compression, ciphering, and DNS-based name resolution. In practice, this means the standard defines the functional jobs that must be assigned to nodes and interfaces.
Mobility management and state handling
Clause 6 defines the MM states IDLE, STANDBY, and READY, and the state transitions between them. It also defines timers such as the READY timer and the periodic RA update timer. This matters because these states control when an MS can send and receive data, when the network pages it, and when context is released or kept.
Attach, detach, and purge procedures
Clauses 6.5 to 6.7 describe GPRS attach, GPRS detach, combined GPRS/IMSI attach, network-initiated detach, HLR-initiated detach, and the purge function. These procedures establish and remove MM and PDP contexts and update the HLR and VLR where needed. In practice, they are the core procedures for bringing a subscriber onto GPRS and clearing network state when the session ends.
Security and identity checks
Clause 6.8 covers authentication, P-TMSI management, ciphering, and identity check procedures. It ties GPRS security to existing GSM security methods while placing execution in the SGSN. For operators and suppliers, this is where subscriber authentication, temporary identity protection, and user-data confidentiality are defined.
PDP contexts, QoS, and service interactions
Clauses 9 and 15 define packet data protocol states, PDP context activation, modification and deactivation, and QoS profile elements such as precedence, delay, reliability, and throughput classes. Clause 16 covers interaction with point-to-point Short Message Service, circuit-switched services, and supplementary services. This is the part that matters when deciding how a subscriber session is created, what service quality is requested, and how GPRS coexists with other GSM services.
What terms does SIST EN 301 344 V6.6.1:2005 define?
- Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) - The node that serves the mobile station, keeps mobility and security context, and handles key GPRS signalling.
- Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) - The node that connects GPRS to packet data networks and holds routing information for attached users.
- PDP context - The packet data protocol context that carries routing information used to send user data to and from the chosen packet data address.
- Packet TMSI (P-TMSI) - A temporary identity used for GPRS user identification, known only to the MS and the SGSN.
- Temporary Logical Link Identity (TLLI) - The identifier used for a GPRS user on the radio side; it is derived from P-TMSI or built by the MS.
- Routeing Area (RA) - The area used by GPRS mobility management for location tracking and updates.
- MM context - The mobility management information stored in the MS and SGSN for a subscriber or anonymous access session.
Who uses SIST EN 301 344 V6.6.1:2005?
SIST EN 301 344 V6.6.1:2005 is used by GSM network operators, mobile core network engineers, radio and protocol vendors, and test and certification teams. It is also relevant to quality managers and buyers who need to confirm that equipment or software supports the GPRS service model used in GSM PLMNs.
Typical tasks include planning SGSN/GGSN behaviour, implementing attach and detach procedures, checking mobility management, designing interworking with IP or X.25 networks, and verifying SMS over GPRS and paging coordination.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 344 V6.6.1:2005?
This standard depends on related GSM and Internet references that define the layers and procedures it uses:
- GSM02.60 - Stage 1 service description for GPRS, which this document develops into stage 2.
- GSM03.03 - Numbering, addressing, and identification, used for identities and address handling.
- GSM03.20 - Security-related network functions, used for authentication and ciphering context.
- GSM03.22 - Idle mode and group receive mode, used for GSM/MS state handling.
- GSM03.64 - Overall description of the GPRS radio interface, including radio behaviour and paging-related aspects.
- GSM04.60, GSM04.64, GSM04.65 - The RLC/MAC, LLC, and SNDCP specifications used on the radio and protocol layers.
- GSM08.16, GSM08.18, GSM09.02, GSM09.60, GSM09.61 - Network service, BSSGP, MAP, GTP, and GPRS interworking specifications for the fixed and core network side.
- RFC791, RFC768, RFC793, RFC1034 - IP, UDP, TCP, and DNS definitions used for GPRS backbone and name resolution.
What does the SIST EN 301 344 V6.6.1:2005 document contain?
The document contains the functional model of GPRS, the logical architecture, protocol-plane descriptions, and detailed procedures for mobility management and packet data handling. It includes state models, signalling sequences, and the mapping of functions to MS, BSS, SGSN, GGSN, and HLR.
It also contains a formal table that maps functions to the logical architecture, and figures that explain the transmission and signalling planes. Annex A gives APN and GGSN selection rules, and Annex B gives routeing examples for home, roaming, and MS-to-MS cases.
For implementation and testing, the document provides procedure flows for attach, detach, paging, authentication, identity checking, PDP context management, and recovery of stored information after failures.
