Does the ETSI GSM standard document collection also include GSM standard documents produced by the GSM Association and exactly what kind of GSM standards does ETSI produce?
The GSM specifications were originally started in committee GSM of CEPT. There (as “CEPT Recommendations”) they were allocated a reference number of the form nn.nn, for example GSM 06.12. Even after transfer to ETSI about ten years ago, the GSM community (in Technical Committee SMG) continue to use these spec identifiers. The specifications are grouped into ’Releases’. The original specifications were published by ETSI in 1994 and are now known as ’Phase 1’. The next release was known as ’Phase 2’, and the next one as … ’Phase 2+’. Within Phase 2+, there have been annual releases since 1996, which are known as R96, R97, R98 and R99. You can find the specifications on the SMG file server http://docbox.etsi.org/zArchive/SMG/ grouped into directories by Release. (You need an account on the ETSI server to have access to this directory.) Looking at a spec, you can tell which release it belongs to by the version number: Version release: • 3.x.x Phase 1 • 4.x.x Phase 2 • 5.x.x Phase 2+, R96
