GSM Services

Types of services The ETSI Standards define the telecommunication services in the same way as ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) does. Different types of services are distinguished: bearer services, tele-services and supplementary services. Bearer services are telecommunication services providing the capability of transmission of signals between access points (called user-network interfaces in ISDN). The bearer services describe what the network can offer (e.g. speech, data and fax). Teleservices are telecommunication services including terminal equipment functions, that provide communication between users according to protocols established by agreement between network operators. The teleservices are user end-to-end services (e.g. emergency call and short message service). Supplementary Services modify or supplement a basic telecommunication service. Consequently, they cannot be offered to a customer as a stand-alone service. They must be offered together or in association with a basic telecommunication service. The same supplementary service may be applicable to a number of telecommunication services. Most supplementary services are directly inherited from a fixed network, with minor modifications (when needed) to adapt to mobility. Examples of supplementary services are calling line identification and call waiting.

When a call is established between a services mobile station and a Public Data network (PDN), the MS acts as a data network terminal and can consequently only use the services that are supported by the relevant PDN. (PDN supplementary services are outside the scope of GSM).

Line Identification Services:

s

Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP) Calling Line Identification Restriction (CLIR)

Connected Line Identification Presentation (COLP)

Connected Line Identification Restriction (COLR)

s

Line Identification Services

Calling line identification presentation (CLIP) The CLIP service allows the called party to receive the line identity of the calling party. The network delivers the calling line identity to the called party at call set-up time, regardless of the terminal capacity to handle the information. The CLIP service

may not be applicable if at least one of the two parties is not an ISDN or GSM PLMN subscriber (depends on national network specific rules).
Calling line identification restriction (CLIR)

The CLIR service enables the calling party to restrict presentation of its line identity to the called party. For inter-network calls, when the CLIR service is invoked, the originating network provides the destination network with a notification that the line identity of the calling party is not allowed to be presented to the called party. Normally CLIR takes precedence over CLIP. However, depending on national regulations, some networks may define categories of subscribers that have the ability to override the presentation restriction (CLIR) and have the calling line identity presented (e.g. the police).

Connected line identification presentation (COLP)

The COLP service allows the calling party to receive the line identity of the connected party. This service is not a dialling check, but the calling subscriber receives the full connected line identity as used in a full ISDN/GSM environment, i.e including all the information necessary to unambiguously identity the connected party. The network delivers the connected line identity to the calling party regardless of the terminal capability to handle the information.

Connected line identification restriction (COLR)

The COLR service allows the connected party to prevent presentation of its line identity to the calling party. The network automatically invokes the COLR service for each incoming call at set- up phase. When the COLR service is invoked, the destination network provides the originating network with a notification that the line identity of the connected party is not allowed to be presented to the calling party. This also applies to inter-network calls. Normally COLR takes precedence over COLP. However, depending on national regulations, some networks may define categories of subscribers that have the ability to override the presentation restriction (COLR) and have the connected line identity presented (e.g. the police).

Call Offering Services:

Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU) Call Forwarding on Mobile Subscriber Busy (CFB)

Call Forwarding in Mobile Subscriber Not Reachable (CFNRc)

Call Offering Services

Call forwarding unconditional (CFU) This service permits a called mobile subscriber to have the network send all incoming calls (or just those associated with a specific basic service group), addressed to its directory number, to another directory number. The ability of the served mobile subscriber (i.e. the `forwarding subscriber or the `called subscriber) to originate calls is unaffected. If this service is activated, calls are forwarded no matter what the condition of the termination. This service permits a called mobile subscriber to have the network send all incoming calls (or just those associated with a specific basic service group), that reach a busy signal, to another directory number. This service permits a called mobile subscriber to have the network send all incoming calls (or just those associated with a specific Basic Service group), addressed to her directory number, but which is not reachable, to another directory number. The ability of the served mobile subscriber to originate calls is unaffected. Call origination is affected if only the MS is deregistered, if there is radio congestion, or if the MS is being out of radio coverage. If this service is activated, a call is forwarded only if the MS is not reachable.

Call Completion Services

Call waiting (cw) Call holding (HOLD)

Call Completion Services

Call waiting (CW)

The Call Waiting Service permits a mobile subscriber to be notified of an incoming call (as per basic call procedures), while the traffic channel is not available for the incoming call and the mobile subscriber is engaged in an active or held call. Subsequently, the subscriber can either accept, reject, or ignore the incoming call. The time the network will wait for a response of the mobile subscriber to the waiting call can be set to between 0.5 and 2 minutes, at the service providers discretion.

Call holding (HOLD)

The Call Holding Service allows a served mobile subscriber, who is provisioned with this supplementary service, to interrupt communication on an existing active call and then subsequently, if desired, re-establish communication. The traffic channel remains assigned to the mobile subscriber after the communication is interrupted to allow the origination or possible termination of other calls. The served mobile subscriber can only have one call on hold at a time. If the served mobile subscriber has a call on hold and is not connected to an active call, she can either retrieve or disconnect the held call, or set up another call. She can not receive a call, except when using the Call Waiting (CW) service. If the served mobile subscriber is connected to an active call and has another call on hold, the subscriber can alternate between the two calls, or disconnect either the active call, the held call, or both calls. Again no new call can be accepted, except when using the CW service.

Multiparty Supplementary Services:

s

Multi Party Service (MPTY)

Multi Party Supplementary Services

Multi party service (MPTY) This service provides a mobile subscriber with the ability to have a multi-connection call, i.e. a simultaneous communication with more than one party. A pre-condition for the MPTY service is that the served mobile subscriber is in control of one active call and one call on hold, both calls having been answered. In this situation the served mobile subscriber can request the network to begin the MPTY service. Once a MPTY call is active, remote parties may be added, disconnected or separated.
What MPTY can do During a multi-party call, the served mobile subscriber is able to:

Put the connection to multi-party on hold. The served mobile subscriber may make a new call (to a potential participant) or process a Call Waiting request. While the multi-party call is on hold, the remote parties in that call can still communicate with each other.
s

Add another party, to which a private communication has been established previously (see above). By again invoking the MPTY service, the network joins the active call and the MPTY call on hold together, resulting in an active multi-party call again.
s s Separate

a remote party. Explicitly choose one remote party to have a private conversation with. This results in that remote party being removed from the multi-party call which is placed on hold, and the conversation between the served mobile subscriber and the designated remote party being a normal active call. Again, while on hold, the participants of the MPTY call can still communicate with each other. The separated party can be added again to the MPTY call or released.

Disconnect the entire MPTY call or disconnect remote parties on a one at a time basis.

Charging Supplementary Services

Advice of charge (information) (AOCI) Advice of charge (charging) (AOCC)

Charging Supplementary Services

This service permits the mobile station to display an accurate Advice of estimate of the size of the bill which will eventually be levied in charge (information) the Home PLMN (HPLMN). (AOCI)

Advice of charge (chargi ng) (AOCC)

This service allows the mobile subscriber to indicate the charge that will be made for the use of telecommunication services. It is intended for applications where the user is generally not the subscriber but is known to the subscriber, and where the user pays the subscriber, rather than the Service Provider. The charge information is based as closely as possible on the charge that will be levied on the subscribers bill in the Home PLMN (HPLMN).
