Overview
SIST EN 301 087 V7.2.1:2003 is a Slovenian national standard that aligns with the European Standard EN 301 087 Version 7.2.1. This document defines the radio interface requirements for Base Station System (BSS) equipment used in GSM digital cellular telecommunications systems, specifically for GSM Phase 2 and Phase 2+ (based on GSM 11.21 version 7.2.1, Release 1998). Developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST), this standard supports conformity and interoperability in the deployment and operation of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) networks.
Focused on radio aspects, SIST EN 301 087 V7.2.1:2003 provides the necessary criteria for designing, testing, and assessing the performance of BSS radio equipment in GSM networks, ensuring robust and reliable mobile communication services.
Key Topics
SIST EN 301 087 V7.2.1:2003 addresses key technical aspects critical to GSM BSS equipment:
- Output Power & Power Classes - Defines acceptable output power values and power class categories for base stations.
- Frequency Bands & Channels - Specifies the operational frequency ranges, channels, and numbering in line with GSM phases.
- Transmitter Requirements - Covers parameters such as frequency accuracy, phase error, RF carrier power, adjacent channel power, spurious emissions, and intermodulation attenuation.
- Receiver Requirements - Details sensitivity levels, error performance, blocking, spurious emissions, and AM suppression for reception quality.
- General Test Conditions - Includes requirements for test environments, measurement accuracy, equipment uncertainty, and configuration selection.
- Radiated & Conducted Emissions - Provides testing requirements for evaluating unwanted emissions from both transmitters and receivers.
- Radio Link Management - Sets testing standards for synchronization, frame alignment, measurement accuracy, and signal quality.
Applications
SIST EN 301 087 V7.2.1:2003 is essential for organizations involved in the planning, deployment, and operation of GSM-based mobile networks:
- Network Operators - Ensures the base station equipment meets standardized performance, leading to reliable network coverage and service quality.
- Equipment Manufacturers - Allows manufacturers to design and verify BSS equipment in accordance with recognized radio requirements, supporting market access and regulatory compliance.
- Testing Laboratories - Provides structured methodologies for lab and field testing of RF characteristics, ensuring equipment certification and performance validation.
- Regulatory Authorities - Supports the oversight of GSM infrastructure to ensure electromagnetic compatibility and minimize interference in the radio spectrum.
Consistent application of this standard facilitates effective mobile communications by maintaining dependable GSM infrastructure performance.
Related Standards
For comprehensive GSM network implementation and compliance, SIST EN 301 087 V7.2.1:2003 is closely related to several international standards:
- ETSI EN 301 087 - European equivalent detailing the same radio requirements for GSM base stations.
- GSM 11.21 - Core specification referenced for radio aspects of GSM (base station equipment).
- GSM 05 Series - Related to radio transmission and reception standards within GSM.
- EMC and Safety Standards - For electromagnetic compatibility and safety assessment of telecommunications equipment.
- EN 301 489-8 - Provides EMC requirements specific to GSM base stations and ancillary equipment.
Organizations aligning with SIST EN 301 087 V7.2.1:2003 ensure their GSM radio infrastructure remains interoperable, efficient, and compliant across the European and international telecommunications landscape.
