Overview
SIST EN 301 087 V7.1.1:2003 specifies the radio aspects of Base Station System (BSS) equipment within the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) digital cellular telecommunications system, encompassing both Phase 2 and Phase 2+ capabilities. This standard is aligned with ETSI EN 301 087 Version 7.1.1 (Release 1998) and incorporates change requests addressed during SMG#28. Managed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST), it serves as a foundational reference for manufacturers and service providers developing or deploying GSM network infrastructure.
The primary focus of this standard is to define detailed requirements and test procedures to ensure the conformance and interoperability of radio equipment used in GSM BSS, thereby facilitating robust and reliable cellular network performance.
Key Topics
- Frequency Bands and Channels: Specifies the supported GSM frequency allocations, channel structures, and related configuration parameters for BSS equipment.
- Transmitter Requirements: Details performance criteria for static and dynamic functions, including power class determination, frequency accuracy, phase error, and adjacent channel power control.
- Receiver Performance: Defines essential receiver characteristics such as sensitivity, selectivity, blocking and intermodulation resistance, and suppression of spurious emissions.
- Test Methods: Outlines comprehensive test environments and conditions, including temperature and vibration tolerance, acceptable measurement uncertainties, and specific conformance test cases.
- Radio Link Management: Addresses frame structures, synchronization, adaptive frame alignment, and reliable radio link measurements for maintaining high-quality network connections.
- Special Test Equipment: Recommends test setups and procedures, such as those involving fading and multipath simulators, to standardize the evaluation of BSS equipment under realistic operational scenarios.
Applications
SIST EN 301 087 V7.1.1:2003 holds critical importance for:
- Network Equipment Manufacturers: Ensuring BSS equipment complies with the latest GSM radio specifications prior to market release.
- Mobile Network Operators: Verifying that network infrastructure components meet standardized performance thresholds to guarantee service quality and regulatory compliance.
- Test Laboratories: Using standardized measurement procedures, test cases, and environmental simulations to assess and certify GSM base station systems.
- System Integrators: Integrating multi-vendor GSM BSS components with confidence in their interoperability and conformance to established radio performance benchmarks.
The standard supports the rollout, maintenance, and optimization of GSM networks, enabling enhancements in mobile coverage, call quality, and overall system reliability for end-users.
Related Standards
For comprehensive GSM network conformance and interoperability, other relevant standards include:
- ETSI EN 301 502: Harmonized standard covering essential requirements for GSM Base Station System equipment.
- ETSI TS 100 940 (GSM 11.21): Earlier versions of BSS equipment specifications.
- ETSI EN 301 489-8: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for GSM base stations.
- ETSI EN 301 511: Terminal equipment conformance specifications.
- 3GPP TS 45.005: Technical specification for radio transmission and reception in the GSM system.
These documents function synergistically with SIST EN 301 087 V7.1.1:2003 to ensure robust GSM radio networks and facilitate international harmonization of mobile telecommunications equipment.

ETSIETSI EN 301 087 V7.1.1 (1999-11)9(GSM 11.21 version 7.1.1 Release 1998)1ScopeThe present document specifies the Radio Frequency (RF) test methods and conformance requirements for GSM 900and DCS 1800 Base Station Systems (BSS)s. These have been derived from, and are consistent with, the core GSMspecifications specified in the requirements reference subclause of each test.The present document is applicable to BSS meeting the requirements of either GSM Phase 2 or GSM Phase 2+. Unlessotherwise stated, all tests are applicable to BSS meeting Phase 2 and/or Phase 2+ GSM requirements, because therequirements of the Phase 2 and Phase 2+ core GSM specifications which are referenced in the test are consistent. Mostdifferences between Phase 2 and Phase 2+ requirements represent Phase 2+ features which are optional for the BSS tosupport.For each test, two conformance requirements are specified:-essential conformance requirements;-complete conformance requirements.Essential conformance requirements are those which are required:a)to ensure compatibility between the radio channels in the same cell;b)to ensure compatibility between cells, both co-ordinated and unco-ordinated;c)to ensure compatibility with existing systems in the same or adjacent frequency bands;d)to verify the important aspects of the transmission quality of the system.Essential conformance requirements are sufficient to verify the performance of the equipment for radio type approvalpurposes, in countries where this is applicable.Complete conformance requirements may be tested to verify all aspects of the performance of a BSS. Theserequirements are intended to be used by manufacturers and operators to allow conformance and acceptance testing to beperformed in a consistent manner; the tests to be performed should be agreed between the parties.In some tests there are separate requirements for micro-BTS and BTS. If there is no separate requirement for amicro-BTS, the requirements for the BTS apply to a micro-BTS.In the present document, the reference point for RF connections (except for the measurement of mean transmitted RFcarrier power) is the antenna connector, as defined by the manufacturer. The present document does not apply torepeaters or RF devices which may be connected to an antenna connector of a BSS, except as specified insubclause 4.10.SIST EN 301 087 V7.1.1:2003
