SSH ETS 300 535:1996 ed.3

Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2) (GSM); Functions related to Mobile Station (MS) in idle mode (GSM 03.22)

Scope

This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) gives an overview of the tasks undertaken by a GSM mobile station (MS) when in idle mode, that is, switched on but not having a dedicated channel allocated, e.g. not making or receiving a call. It also describes the corresponding network functions. NOTE: The term GSM MS is used for any type of MS supporting one, or combinations, of the frequency bands specified in GSM 05.05 (e.g. GSM 900 and DCS 1800). This ETS outlines how the requirements of the GSM 02 series Technical Specifications (especially GSM 02.11) on idle mode operation shall be implemented. Further details are given in GSM 04.08 and GSM 05.08.
