scope:

The present document describes the technical characteristics and methods of testing the improved receiver performance for professional mobile stations (professional MS), for the Pan European digital cellular communications system and Personal Communication Systems (PCS) operating in the 900 MHz band (GSM 900), standardized by ETSI Special Mobile Group (SMG).

The present document is valid for professional MS implemented according Phase 2+ R99.

The present document covers the requirements for testing the improved GSM-R receiver in order to provide sufficient performance for mobile equipment.

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.

The present document is part of the GSM-series of technical specifications. The present document neither replaces any of the other GSM technical specifications or GSM related ETSs or ENs, nor is it created to provide full understanding of (or parts of) the GSM 900 system. The present document lists the additional test procedures, and provides the methods of test for testing a professional MS for conformance to the GSM standard.

For a full description of the system, reference should be made to all the GSM technical specifications or GSM related ETSs or ENs. Clause 2 provides a complete list of the GSM technical specifications, GSM related ETSs, ENs, and ETRs, on which this conformance test specifications is based.

The present document applies to the unit which includes the hardware to establish a connection across the radio interface.
