- Abstract
This European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) describes the technical characteristics and methods of test for Mobile Stations (MS), for the Pan European digital cellular communications system and Personal Communication Systems (PCS) operating in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz band (GSM900 and DCS1800), standardized by ETSI Technical Committee Special Mobile Group (SMG). This ETS with methods of test is produced as a draft ETS. A subset of the tests is referenced in the GSM Common Technical Regulations (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 Directive 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 order to provide sufficient performance for mobile equipment and to prevent interference to other services or to other users, and to the PLMNs. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a user or subscriber, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable. It applies to the public land mobile radio service in the GSM900 and DCS1800 systems, using constant envelope modulation and operating on radio frequencies in the 900 and 1800 MHz bands respectively with a channel separation of 200 kHz and carrying 8 full rate channels or 16 half rate channels per carrier according to the TDMA principle.

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of ETS 300 607-1 Edition 1, a European Telecommunications Standard for GSM Mobile Station (MS) conformance testing. It specifies the technical characteristics and methods of test for MS operating in GSM900 and DCS1800, including the tests used for regulatory conformance and for checking compliance with core GSM requirements.
What does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005 specify?
SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005 specifies how to test a GSM MS for radio performance, signalling behaviour, user services, SIM-related functions, and special test features. It is written for Pan European digital cellular communications systems and Personal Communication Systems (PCS) in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands.
The document focuses on minimum characteristics needed for acceptable performance and to limit interference to other services, other users, and Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs). It is also clear that the specification is not a complete description of GSM900 or DCS1800 operation and does not replace the other GSM technical specifications.
The structure of the document is built around test methodology first, then functional test groups. The main flow is:
| Clause group | What it covers |
|---|---|
| 1-9 | Scope, references, definitions, test equipment, methodology, reference methods, uncertainty, and test format |
| 10-23 | Generic call setup, general tests, RF transmitter and receiver tests, timing, handover, cell selection, and signal measurements |
| 24-26 | Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 signalling tests |
| 27-31 | SIM, autocalling restrictions, bearer services, facsimile, speech teleservices, and supplementary services |
| 32-36 | Speech transcoding, MS features, SMS, low battery detection, and special conformance testing functions |
A subset of the tests is intended for regulatory conformance testing under the GSM Common Technical Regulations (CTRs), while the remaining tests are used to verify conformance with GSM core technical specifications for non-essential requirements.
What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005?
SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005 is mainly a test specification, so its key requirements are the test methods, applicability rules, and expected MS behaviour under defined conditions. The clauses below are the parts that matter most in practice.
Applicability and test selection
Clause 3 defines MS configurations, applicability, and the conventions used throughout the document. This matters because many tests apply only to MS that support speech, data, half-rate channels, supplementary services, or specific SIM arrangements.
Clause 3.2 separates applicability of the specification from applicability of individual tests. In practice, a buyer, lab, or manufacturer must match the test plan to the exact MS features being claimed.
Test setup and measurement method
Clauses 4 to 8 define test equipment, general testing methodology, reference test methods, implicit testing, measurement uncertainty, and the format of tests. This is important because the document does not just say what to test - it also tells you how to make the results comparable and defensible.
Clause 5.4 requires information from the apparatus supplier, which means the test house needs the implementation details needed to run the test correctly. Clause 8 on measurement uncertainty matters when borderline results have to be judged.
Generic call establishment
Clause 10 gives generic call set-up procedures for mobile terminating and mobile originating speech calls, and for mobile terminating and mobile originating data calls. These procedures cover the standard signalling sequence such as paging, channel request, immediate assignment, authentication, ciphering, assignment, and connect.
In practice, this section is the starting point for many service and protocol tests. It defines the common call flow that later tests reuse.
RF transmitter and receiver conformance
Clauses 12 to 14 cover the main RF behaviour of the MS. They include conducted and radiated spurious emissions, frequency and phase error, output power and burst timing, output RF spectrum, intermodulation attenuation, bad frame indication, reference sensitivity, usable receiver input range, co-channel rejection, adjacent channel rejection, intermodulation rejection, blocking and spurious response, and AM suppression.
These clauses matter because they show whether the MS transmits within its radio limits and remains usable in real network conditions with interference, fading, and weak signals.
Mobility, cell selection, and handover behaviour
Clauses 15 to 21 cover timing advance, reception time tracking, access times during handover, temporary reception gaps, release after unrecoverable errors, cell selection and reselection, and received signal measurements. This is the part that checks whether the MS can stay attached to the network while signal conditions change.
For a reader, this means the MS is tested not only when conditions are good, but also when cells change, the channel fails, or another cell becomes stronger. That is the practical core of mobility behaviour.
Layer 2 and Layer 3 signalling
Clauses 25 and 26 test Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions in detail. They include frame handling, sequence counting, disconnection, invalid frames, immediate assignment, paging, measurement reporting, channel assignment, handover, frequency redefinition, ciphering mode setting, classmark handling, location updating, authentication, identification, MM connection handling, and call control state machine behaviour.
These tests are important because they verify whether the MS follows GSM signalling rules, handles errors properly, and reacts correctly to network commands. They are especially relevant for conformance testing and type approval.
Service, SIM, and feature-specific testing
Clauses 27 to 31 cover SIM and ME interaction, FDN, AoC, autocalling restrictions, bearer services, facsimile, speech teleservices, supplementary services, and USSD. They also include tests for operating speed, clock stop, contact pressure, PIN and PUK handling, SIM presence detection, and MMI reactions.
This matters because many customer-visible features depend on both the MS and the SIM, and the document checks both normal operation and edge cases such as restricted calling, charging updates, or SIM removal during a call.
What terms does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005 define?
- Mobile Station (MS) - The device under test, including the configurations and functions covered by the specification.
- Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs) - The mobile networks the MS selects, measures, and reselects during idle and connected operation.
- Advice of Charge Charging (AOCC) - Charging-related functionality tested for support, non-support, and behaviour during active calls.
- Advice of Charge (AoC) - Charging information handling tested in the supplementary services clauses.
- Fixed Dialling Number (FDN) - A feature that restricts calling to stored numbers and is explicitly tested for support and non-support behaviour.
- Short Message Service (SMS) - The messaging service tested for mobile terminated, mobile originated, memory full, status reports, replace mechanisms, and cell broadcast.
- Personal Communication Systems (PCS) - One of the operating environments named in the scope alongside GSM900 and DCS1800.
Who uses SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005?
SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005 is used by MS manufacturers, test laboratories, certification bodies, network operators, and quality managers who need to verify GSM terminal conformance. It is also relevant to apparatus suppliers, because the methodology requires supplier-provided information for some tests.
In practice, it supports type approval work, compliance testing, product qualification, and technical acceptance of GSM900 and DCS1800 mobile equipment. Buyers and procurement teams can use it to confirm that a product has been assessed against a recognized MS conformance framework.
What changed in SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005 from the previous edition?
SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005 corresponds to ETS 300 607-1 Edition 1.
Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005?
The document names several companion standards and references that support the test methods:
- GSM 05.05 - provides the radio performance limits used for spurious emissions, output spectrum, blocking, rejection, and other RF requirements.
- GSM 05.08 - provides the received signal measurement definitions used in the signal strength and signal quality tests.
- GSM 05.10 - supports transmitter-related tests such as frequency error, phase error, burst timing, and timing advance.
- GSM 03.22 - is referenced for cell selection and reselection behaviour.
- GSM 04.05 and GSM 04.08 - support the Layer 2 and Layer 3 signalling test framework.
- pr I-ETS 300 021 and CCITT Rec. X.290 - support the conformance testing methodology used for protocol testing.
These references matter because they provide the underlying GSM rules that the MS is being tested against.
What does the SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005 document contain?
SIST ETS 300 607-1 E1:2005 contains clause-by-clause conformance tests with initial conditions, procedures, expected outcomes, and applicability notes. Many tests also include message contents, default message contents, and special cases for different MS capabilities.
The document includes tables and methods for RF limits, measurement conditions, signal levels, and test applicability. It also contains structured procedures for call setup, paging, handover, location updating, supplementary services, SMS, and speech-related services.
Later clauses describe special conformance functions such as internal test loops, EMMI, DAI, and SIM/ME test interfaces. Those parts are used when a tester needs to exercise the MS through dedicated conformance hooks rather than only through normal network operation.
