- Abstract
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) describes the technical characteristics and methods of test for Mobile Stations (MS), for the Pan European digital cellular communications system and Personal Comm unication Systems (PCS) operating in the 900 MHz and 1 800 MHz band (G SM 900 and DCS 1 800), standardized by ETSI Technical Committee Specia l Mobile Group (SMG). A subset of the tests is referenced in the GSM Common Technical Regula tions (CTRs) and is used for regulatory conformance testing according to the EEC procedures for Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (TTE) type approval (EC Directive 91/263/EEC; also known as the Terminal Di rective or Second Phase Directive). The remaining tests can be used to verify conformance with the GSM core technical specifications for those requirements that are not considered essential in the sense of the EC Directive 91/263/EEC (Article 4). This ETS covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in or der to provide sufficient performance for mobile equipment and to prev ent interference to other services or to other users, and to the PLMNs . It does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be r equired by a user or subscriber, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E4:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of ETS 300 607-1, a European Telecommunications Standard for GSM Mobile Station (MS) conformance testing. It specifies the technical characteristics and methods of test for MS equipment used in GSM 900 and DCS 1 800, including the subset of tests used for regulatory type approval and the broader set used to check conformance to GSM core technical specifications. Manufacturers, test laboratories, and approval bodies use it to verify radio, protocol, service, SIM/ME, and user-interface behaviour.
What does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E4:2005 specify?
SIST ETS 300 607-1 E4:2005 specifies how to test a GSM Mobile Station for conformance in the Pan European digital cellular communications system and Personal Communication Systems operating in the 900 MHz and 1 800 MHz bands. The standard focuses on minimum characteristics needed for performance and interference protection in public land mobile radio service.
The document is organized as a test specification. Its early clauses cover scope, references, definitions, test equipment, general methodology, reference test methods, implicit testing, measurement uncertainty, and test format. Later clauses move through call setup, radio performance, mobility, protocol layers, SIM/ME tests, bearer services, speech, supplementary services, SMS, and special conformance testing functions.
| Clause group | What it covers |
|---|---|
| 1-9 | Scope, references, definitions, equipment, methodology, uncertainty, and test format |
| 10-23 | Generic call setup, general tests, RF performance, timing, cell selection/reselection, and received signal measurements |
| 24-32 | Layer 1-3 signalling, SIM/ME interface, bearer services, speech teleservices, supplementary services, and speech transcoding |
| 33-36 | MS features, SMS, low battery detection, and special conformance testing functions |
What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 607-1 E4:2005?
SIST ETS 300 607-1 E4:2005 is a test specification, so its key requirements are the methods and expected behaviours that an MS must demonstrate during conformance testing. The most important points are the test framework, the radio and protocol performance checks, and the service-specific procedures.
General test framework
Clauses 5 to 9 define the overall testing approach: optional functions, test interfaces, protocol layers, supplier information, transmit and receive timing, reference test methods, implicit testing, measurement uncertainty, and the format of tests. In practice, this means a test house needs the right setup and declared equipment information before it can judge conformance fairly.
Generic call setup and service support
Clause 10 gives generic call setup procedures for mobile terminating and mobile originating speech calls and data calls. These procedures spell out the message sequence from channel request through authentication, ciphering, assignment, and connect. In practice, they provide a repeatable way to verify that an MS can enter a call and complete the network handshake.
Clause 11 then checks support and non-support of services such as multiple numbering scheme or ISDN calls, single numbering scheme, Advice of Charge Charging (AoCC), call hold, multiparty, Fixed Dialling Number (FDN), and IMEI Security. It also covers Bearer Capability coding in both network-to-MS and MS-to-SS directions. For a buyer or quality manager, this clause shows which service options are truly supported and which are intentionally absent.
Radio transmitter and receiver performance
Clauses 12 to 14 cover the transceiver, transmitter, and receiver. They include conducted and radiated spurious emissions, frequency error, phase error, output power and burst timing, output RF spectrum, intermodulation attenuation, bad frame indication, reference sensitivity, usable receiver input level range, co-channel rejection, adjacent channel rejection, intermodulation rejection, blocking and spurious response, and AM suppression. In practice, these tests show whether the MS transmits cleanly and remains usable in real radio interference conditions.
Mobility and cell behaviour
Clauses 15 to 20 address timing advance, reception time tracking speed, access times during handover, temporary reception gaps, release after unrecoverable errors, and detailed cell selection and reselection behaviour. The cell tests include reading BCCH information, BSIC decoding, emergency calls, reactions to "LA not allowed" and "Roaming not allowed in this LA", downlink signalling failure, and multiband cell selection and reselection. These tests matter because they determine whether the MS moves between cells correctly and stays connected or resynchronizes when conditions change.
Layer 2 and layer 3 signalling
Clauses 25 and 26 are the protocol core of the document. Clause 25 tests layer 2 initialization, normal information transfer, disconnection, frame loss, incorrect C/R values, control field errors, and invalid frames. Clause 26 tests layer 3 functions, including channel request, IMSI detach/attach, sequencing, idle mode behaviour, handling of unknown or erroneous protocol data, radio resource management, paging, measurement reporting, channel assignment, handover, frequency redefinition, ciphering mode setting, classmark change, location updating, MM connection, call control, structured procedures, E-GSM signalling, and multiband signalling. In practice, these clauses verify that the MS can behave correctly even when signalling is imperfect or network behaviour changes.
SIM/ME interface and user functions
Clause 27 covers the SIM/ME interface in depth. It includes identification by short and long IMSI or TMSI, forbidden PLMNs, PLMN selector list updates, access control management, exchange protocol tests, answer to reset, command processing, directory characteristics, secret code usage, mechanical tests, electrical tests, FND, phase identification, SIM presence detection, and Advice of Charge. This matters because a large part of MS compliance depends on correct interaction with the SIM and user input.
Services beyond basic telephony
Clauses 29 to 35 cover bearer services, facsimile, speech teleservices, supplementary services, speech transcoding, MS features, SMS, and low battery voltage detection. These clauses confirm that the MS can handle data calls, facsimile, call forwarding, call restriction, USSD, speech quality functions, tones and indicators, SMS mobile terminated and mobile originated operation, and battery warning behaviour. They are the practical part of the standard for user-facing functions.
What terms does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E4:2005 define?
- Mobile Station (MS) - the GSM terminal under test, including the radio and protocol functions being verified.
- Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) - the network selected or rejected by the MS during cell selection, reselection, and location updating.
- Traffic Channel full rate (TCH/FS) - a full-rate speech channel used in several speech and receiver tests.
- Traffic Channel half rate (TCH/HS) - a half-rate speech channel used where the MS supports half-rate speech.
- Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) - the control channel whose information the MS must decode for cell and neighbour decisions.
- Base Station Identity Code (BSIC) - the cell identity element that the MS decodes for neighbour carrier validation.
- Advice of Charge Charging (AoCC) - a charging-related service whose support or non-support is verified.
- Fixed Dialling Number (FDN) - the SIM-related restriction feature tested for support or non-support.
Who uses SIST ETS 300 607-1 E4:2005?
SIST ETS 300 607-1 E4:2005 is used by GSM handset and module manufacturers, conformance test laboratories, approval bodies, and quality teams responsible for acceptance testing. It is also relevant to buyers and product managers who need to specify which GSM functions must be proven before release.
It is especially useful in organizations that work with GSM 900 and DCS 1 800 MS equipment, including radio test teams, protocol validation teams, and SIM/ME interface specialists. Because the standard includes regulatory-conformance-oriented tests and broader conformance checks, it also supports certification and supplier qualification work.
Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 607-1 E4:2005?
SIST ETS 300 607-1 E4:2005 repeatedly relies on companion GSM specifications in its test clauses. The most visible ones in the document are:
- GSM 05.05 - provides radio performance limits and conditions for emissions, transmitter power, spectrum, and receiver-related tests.
- GSM 05.10 - provides timing and transmitter-related criteria used in frequency error, phase error, burst timing, and related measurements.
- GSM 05.02 - is used for phase 1 and phase 2 interoperability behaviour, especially where a phase 2 MS must behave properly in a phase 1 network.
- GSM 02.07 - is used in the autocalling restriction tests that refer to category handling.
These references supply the technical limits and behaviour rules that the test methods check against.
What does the SIST ETS 300 607-1 E4:2005 document contain?
SIST ETS 300 607-1 E4:2005 contains detailed test descriptions rather than design guidance. The clauses use recurring structures such as definition and applicability, conformance requirement, test purpose, method of test, and test requirement.
The document includes message sequences for call setup, state-machine style protocol tests, default message contents, and application-specific procedures for speech, data, SMS, supplementary services, and SIM/ME interaction. It also includes RF measurement methods, timing and delay tests, and many condition-specific cases such as handover, frequency hopping, multiband operation, and fault handling.
For readers who must execute or witness tests, the document acts as a checklist of what to set up, what to send, what the MS should do, and how the result is judged.
