1 Performance Measurement Message Flows

1.1 Introduction
The following sections show the SBS-specific message flows of call- and signallingtransactions on the interfaces Um, Abis and A.
Note: The message flows have to be considered as typical examples for the affected signalling transactions. Depending on specific settings in the involved network elements (MSC, BSC), flow traces taken from real live networks can deviate from the shown message flows (especially for the optional sub-procedures Authentication, Ciphering, Early Classmark Sending and TMSI Reallocation). The messages between the network elements (MS, BTS, BSC and MSC) are abbreviated in the same way as the most common protocol analyzers (e.g. K1103, K1205, etc.) do. For the mapping of the used abbreviations to the complete message names defined by GSM and the Siemens Abis specifications please refer to Chapter 2 Abbreviations. In addition to the messages, the implemented SBS performance measurement counters are embedded into the message flows in such a way that the association of the counters to their triggering events becomes clear. As a general rule, the appearance of a counter within a message flow means that its value is increased by 1. Deviations from this rule are explicitely mentioned in the message flows. To indicate also the subcounters of the specific measurements, the following method is used: <measurement shortname>(<subcounter no.>.). Example: ATINHIRC (2.) means that the second subcounter of the measurement ATINHIRC (downlink quality) is increased by the marked event. For the long names of the measurements, please refer to the document PM:SBS Counter.
Note: If not otherwise defined the blue colour generally indicates the events on the handover target resources. In 1.2.11.2 the blue colour indicates the events related to the second (high priority) call. In 1.2.11.5 the blue colour indicates the events related to the high priority call. In 1.2.11.7, 1.2.11.8 and 1.2.11.9 the blue colour indicates the events related to preempting call. In 1.2.5.7 the red colour indicates the BSC serving the first (really external) target cell in the target cell list of the HANDOVER REQUIRED message. SMLC-Specific Message Flows: In order to guarantee an SBS release-independent documenation delivery, the SMLCrelated message flows are provided in a separate documentation set. The manual PM:SBS Message Flows is intended for the SBS-specific message flows, whereas the manual PM:SMLC Message Flows is intended for the SMLC-specific message flows. Both manuals may be used together, if applicable.

TTRAU is stopped when the BTS receives the (idle) TRAU frames from the TRAU. This happens when the BSC throughconnects the Asub-TCH to the Abis-TCH. In case of TCH Assignment this is done on transmission of the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND. In case of direct TCH assignment the timer T10 is not used. Two not-administrable system internal timers are used, one for the control of the MOMRQ procedure, one for the control of the CHMM procedure. In case of expiry of one of these timers, the BSC sends an ASS FAI with cause equipment failure to the MSC.

(*)
If the CONNECTION FAILURE INDICATION is received a TCH, NRFLTCH is triggered; if it is received for an SDCCH, NRFLSDCC is triggered. RDLNKTBS is the initial value of the 'S' Counter. This counter in the BTS is decreased by '1' if the BTS cannot decode a SACCH frame correctly. When the BTs can decode a SACCH frame again, RDLNKTBS is increased by '2'. If the counter reaches '0', the Um connection is regarded as lost. TTRAU is started in the BTS on receipt of the CHANNEL ACTIVATION message for a TCH. Its purpose is to observe the receipt of TRAU frames from the TRAU after the activation of the TCH, i.e. it is stopped when TRAU frames are received. TSYNC is started in the BTS when the BTS does not receive valid TRAU frames for an activated TCH anymore. Its purpose is to observe the re-appearance of TRAU frames from the TRAU, i.e. it is stopped again when TRAU frames are received. TSYNC is used for FR, HR and EFR speech calls and for standard dataservices (up to 9,6 kbit/s). For AMR calls and 14,4 kbit/s dataservices TSYNC is replaced by TSYNCDL.
(**)
(***)
(****)
(*****) T_MSRFPCI is started in the BTS on receipt of the CHANNEL ACTIVATION ACKNOWLEDGE message for a TCH. Its purpose is to observe the receipt of the MPRCI message, i.e. it is stopped when the MRPCI message is received. The BSC sends this message when the MS has successfully sent the first layer 3 message on a new channel during call setup (CM SERVICE REQUEST (for the SDCCH) and ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE) and handover (ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE (intracell HO) and HANDOVER COMPLETE (inter-cell handover)). As T_MSRFPCI is hardcoded to a very long value (20s), this timer should never expire under normal conditions and reasonable timer settings. (******) When the BSC receives a CONNECTION FAILURE INDICATION with cause distance limit exceeded, the cause value contained in the CLEAR REQUEST message will not be radio interface message failure but distance. Consequently also the corresponding NRCLRREQ subcounter (6.) is triggered instead of subcounter (3.). A If the CONN_FAIL is received on TCH, the corresponding subcounter is NRCLRREQ 3 or 6 (see note above); on the contrary if it is received on SDCCH, the corresponding subcounter is NRCLRREQ 21 or 24. NRCLRCMD (1) if CONN_FAIL is received on TCH NRCLRCMD (13) if CONN_FAIL is received on SDCCH

Note: Subcounter depends on the handover cause value contained in the HANDOVER CONDITION INDICATION. TTRAU is stopped when the BTS receives the (idle) TRAU frames from the TRAU. This happens when the BSC throughconnects the Asub-TCH to the Abis-TCH. In case of intra-BSC handover this is done after receipt of the HANDOVER DETECT message. HO ACCESS is transmitted exactly 4 times, the MS does not wait for any response from the BTS but directly sets up the layer 2 connection (using the SABM) after the last HO ACCESS.

(*) (**) Note: Subcounter depends on the handover cause value contained in the HANDOVER CONDITON INDICATION. When the BSC receives an INTERCELL HANDOVER CONDITION INDICATION for a TCH with a valid target cell, it rst checks the administrative state (locked/unlocked/shutting down) and the availability state (enabled/disabled) of the target BTS objects. Moreover, if the INTERCELL HANDOVER CONDITION INDICATION contains the cause "trafc", it checks the TCH load situation with respect to the threshold TRFLTH. Only if the BSC nds one target BTS in state "unlocked/enabled" and (in case of trafc handover) with a TCH load below the TRFLTH threshold, the BSC starts to search for an available TCH in the "idle list" of the target cell. Only in this case the measurements ATINHIRC (for the originating BTS) and ATTCHSEI (for the target BTS) are triggered. If no TCH can be found due to TCH congestion, "locked" state of the TRXs or/and "locked" state of the CHAN objects in the target BTS, ATCHSMBS is triggered for the target BTS in addition and the next target cell is analyzed. If no target BTS in state "unlocked/enabled" or (in case of trafc handover) no target cell with the TCH load below the threshold TRFLTH can be found, NHOINRHA is triggered. In this case neither ATINHIRC nor ATTCHSEI nor ATCHSMBS are increased. Also CHALHNLY is triggered: 20 [if full V1/V2] and 11. Also 21 [if AMR] and 12.

Note: Subcounter depends on the handover cause value contained in the HANDOVER CONDITION INDICATION. The actual cause value used by the MS might differ from the one indicated in the message flow other cause values such as "abnormal release, timer expired" or "abnormal release, unspecified" etc. might be used. The handover might not only fail due to the fact that no PHYSICAL INFORMATION is received after transmission of the HANDOVER ACCESS on the target channel. The MS can still return to the old channel after it has received the PHYSICAL INFORMATION from the BTS. This happens when the layer 2 connection setup fails, i.e. when the MS does not receive any UA after repeated transmission of the SABM on the target channel.

Note: Subcounter depends on the handover cause value contained in the BWHCI. TTRAU is stopped when the BTS receives the (idle) TRAU frames from the TRAU. This happens when the BSC throughconnects the Asub-TCH to the Abis-TCH. In case of intra-BSC handover this is done after receipt of the HANDOVER DETECT message. HO ACCESS is transmitted exactly 4 times, the MS does not wait for any response from the BTS but directly sets up the layer 2 connection (using the SABM) after the last HO ACCESS.

Note: Subcounter depends on the handover cause value contained in the HANDOVER CONDITON INDICATION. When the BSC receives an INTERCELL HANDOVER CONDITION INDICATION for and SDCCH-SDCCH handover with a valid target cell, it first checks the administrative state (locked/unlocked/shutting down) and the availability state (enabled/disabled) of the target BTS objects. Only if the BSC finds one target BTS in state "unlocked/enabled", the BSC starts to search for an available SDCCH in the "idle list" of the target cell. Only in this case the measurements ATINHIRC (for the originating BTS) and NATTSDPE (for the target BTS) are triggered. If no SDCCH can be found due to SDCCH congestion, "locked" state of the TRXs or/and "locked" state of the CHAN objects in the target BTS, ATSDCMBS is triggered for the target BTS in addition and the next target cell is analyzed. If no target BTS in state "unlocked/enabled" can be found, NHOINRHA is triggered. In this case neither ATINHIRC nor NATTSDPE nor ATSDCMBS are increased.

Note: Subcounter (2.) of the measurement NHOINRHA is triggered when the administrable BSSMAP timer T7 (database parameter name BSCT7) expires; with suitable settings of BSCT7 this happens after the receipt of a HANDOVER REQUIRED REJECT message from the MSC. This means that the timer T7 must be set appropriately (e.g. BSCT7=HLFSEC-6) to ensure that NHOINRHA (2.) counts correctly in case of Inter-BSC handover. If - by chance - the call is released before T7 expires, NHOINRHA (2.) is not triggered. ATTCHSEI and ATCHSMBS are only triggered if the target BTS indicated in the HO REQ message is in state unlocked/enabled. Also CHALHNLY is triggered: 20 [if full V1/V2] and 11. Also 21 [if AMR] and 12.

(***) (****)
The actual cause value used by the MS might differ from the one indicated in the message flow - other cause values such as "abnormal release, timer expired" or "abnormal release, unspecified" etc. might be used. (*****) The handover might not only fail due to the fact that no PHYSICAL INFORMATION is received after transmission of the HANDOVER ACCESS on the target channel. The MS can still return to the old channel after it has received the PHYSICAL INFORMATION from the BTS. This happens when the layer 2 connection setup fails, i.e. when the MS does not receive any UA after repeated transmission of the SABM on the target channel.

The actual cause value used by the MS might differ from the one indicated in the message flow - other cause values such as "abnormal release, timer expired" or "abnormal release, unspecified" etc. might be used. (*****) The handover might not only fail due to the fact that no PHYSICAL INFORMATION is received after transmission of the HANDOVER ACCESS on the target channel. Possible problem scenarios are: - HO ACCESS not correctly received at BTS - PHYS INFO not correctly received at MS The MS can still return to the old channel after it has received the PHYSICAL INFORMATION from the BTS. This happens when the layer 2 connection setup fails, i.e. when the MS does not receive any UA after repeated transmission of the SABM on the target channel.

In case of inter-BSC directed retry this is done on the CHANNEL ACTIVATION ACKNOWLEDGE for the TCH in the target BTS. Trr7 is an MSC timer which supervises the receipt of a HO CMP after transmission of a HO CMD.

Note: NHOINRHA (2.) might not count in case of Inter-BSC directed retry due to the following reasons: If the MSC has rejected the inter-BSC directed retry handover attempt by sending a HANDOVER REQUIRED REJECT, it will immediately release the resources by sending a CLEAR COMMAND to the BSC. If the CLEAR COMMAND arrives before T7 expires, NHOINRHA (2.) is not triggered. This will happen with normal settings of BSCT7 (e.g. BSCT7=HLFSEC-6).

Information System
(***) (****)
Trr7 is an MSC timer which supervises the receipt of a HO CMP after transmission of a HO CMD. The actual cause value used by the MS might differ from the one indicated in the message flow - other cause values such as "abnormal release, timer expired" or "abnormal release, unspecified" etc. might be used.
(*****) The handover might not only fail due to the fact that no PHYSICAL INFORMATION is received after transmission of the HANDOVER ACCESS on the target channel. The MS can still return to the old channel after it has received the PHYSICAL INFORMATION from the BTS. This happens when the layer 2 connection setup fails, i.e. when the MS does not receive any UA after repeated transmission of the SABM on the target channel.

Note: TRFCT represents a periodic cycle in which the BSC checks the traffic load in all its cells. The message SET ATTRIBUTE is sent via the Abis O&M channel (LPDLM, SAPI 62) and enables the traffic handover for the whole BTS. This means that the BTS makes the traffic handover decision for all calls currently busy in the cell and starts the timer TRFHOT (when it expires, the BTS makes the next handover decision for all calls that are busy at that point of time). This message flow just shows one single call for which the traffic handover was triggered and succesfully completed. The first traffic handover decision after the enabling of traffic handover in the BTS is based on the value m=1. m is an internal counter which is used in the calculation process of the traffic handover decision and which supports a mechanism for a dynamic decrease of the traffic handover margin for subsequent traffic handover decisions.

(*)
In case of MSC-controlled handover the MSC cyclically attempts the HANDOVER REQUEST procedure towards all target cells previously received in the HANDOVER REQUIRED message from the originating BSC. For the first cycle, the SIEMENS MSC generally sets the queuing allowed indicator to not allowed. If in this first cycle the request for radio resoucres fails for all target cells, the SIEMENS MSC repeats the cycle again, this time, however, with the queuing allowed indicator set to allowed. This is done to avoid an unnecessary delay in the handover execution and in order to use the queuing mechanism as the very last measure to rescue a call.

Events related to preempting call TTRAU is stopped when the BTS receives the (idle) TRAU frames from the TRAU. This happens when the BSC throughconnects the Asub-TCH to the Abis-TCH. In case of inter-BSC handover this is done on the CHANNEL ACTIVATION ACKNOWLEDGE for the TCH in the target BTS. Trr7 is an MSC timer which supervises the receipt of a HO CMP after transmission of a HO CMD.

AGCH queue is full when IMASS is received 2. IMM ASS was received with a high delay (time between CHANNEL REQUEST and receipt of the IMASS has already exceeded the timeout period) 3. IMASS was enqueued in AGCH queue, but timeout was detected prior to transmission on Um. In cases (1) and (2) the DELETE INDICATION will contain the IMASS messages as received from the BSC. In case (3) the DELIN may contain an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT EXTENDED message.

When for the BTSM object subordinate to the serving BTS, the parameter LPDLMSAT (BTSM object) is set to TRUE, the BSC sends the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message to the BTS immediately after the transmission of the CHANNEL ACTIVATION message without waiting for the CHANNEL ACTIVATION ACKNOWLEDGE. This is done to avoid additional Immediate Assignment signaling delay and, as a consequence. unnecessary RACH retransmissions from the mobile stations.

No place in any paging queue available - the BTS discards the PAGING REQUEST * NTDMPCH (3.) OVERLOAD
(cause: CCCH overload)
Start T17 **
BSC starts to discard all pagings towards this BTS **
**
Each paging queue place in the BTS can be seized by one PAGING REQUEST message (PAGREQ) which itself can contain the mobile identities (IMSI or TMSI) of up to 3 mobile subscribers simultaneously. This means that the PAGING REQUEST message can contain the mobile identities of up to 3 PAGING COMMANDS (PGCMD) that were received from the BSC before. If the BTS discards a PAGING REQUEST due to lack of paging queue places, NTDMPCH (3.) is increased by as many counts as mobile identities (IMSI or TMSIs) were contained in the discarded PAGING REQUEST message! In other words, if the discarded PAGING REQUEST contains e.g. 3 TMSIs, then NTDMPCH (3.) is increased by 3. The BSC starts T17 and discards all new PAGING COMMANDS to the BTS only if BTS overload handling is enabled in the BSC (BTSOVLH=TRUE). The PAGING COMMANDS to the BTS are discarded as long as T17 runs.

Information System
1. The listening subscriber may attempt to seize the Uplink common VGCS (TCH). When the MS is informed about the successful seizure it then moves on a dedicated channel (TCH) becomes the new talking subscriber.This is the typical talking subscriber change procedure. 2. The BSC sends this message to the BTS to indicate that the uplink of the VGCS channels becomes or is free. 3. vgcsULFreeTimer (VGRULF in BSC DB Object BTS [TIMER]). If no ASCI call is active the network provides an UPLINK FREE message on the main signalling channel periodically. The timer vgcsULFree Timer denes the repetition rate of sending this message. The timer will be stopped if an Uplink Access of a Mobile Station (MS) or an UPLINK Busy of the BSC was received. 4. Tgrant is a timer to dene the repetition rate of sending the VGCS UPLINK GRANT message. In case of an ASCI call the network grants the uplink to one mobile station by sending a VGCS UPLINK GRANT message to the mobile station. After having sent this message the BTS starts TGRANT to repeat this message for as long as a counter has not reached the value of NRPGRANT. 5. With DT1 USC (Uplink Seize Cmd) the MSC informs a BSC that a MS belonging to another BSC area has successfully seized the uplink common VGCS channel. Then the BSS noties its MSs that the channel is busy. 6. UPLINK RELEASE (BSC->BTS) sent on VGCS common channel to inform the BTS that the BSC has assigned a dedicated TCH to the talker in the same call during talker change procedure. 7. SET PARAMETER messages are sent from MSC where the MS is told that Uplink/Downlink is connected.

GPRS Message Flows

GPRS Procedures
This chapter describes the general procedures for GPRS Mobility Management and GPRS Session Management. The temporary block flows (TBF) which are used to transport signalling messages and user data between mobile and BSS are described in chapter 1.3.2.
1.3.1.1
GPRS Mobility Management: Attach Procedure

UL-TBF DL-TBF UL-TBF

4 5
DL-TBF UL-TBF
The Attach procedure is used by the mobile to register for GPRS services. 1. 2. The mobile sends Attach Request containing information about its mobile capabilities, its mutual class and its IMSI or P-TMSI for identification. If the MS identifies itself with its P-TMSI but the P-TMSI is unknown in SGSN, the SGSN sends an Identity Request to the MS. The MS responds with Identity Response including its IMSI. In contrast to ciphering in existing GSM (between BTS and MS) GPRS ciphering is a function of the LLC layer in the SGSN and in the mobiles. If enabled in the SGSN it initiates the authentication and ciphering procedure. The network informs the MS that the Attach was accepted. The network may include a new P-TMSI in the Attach Accept message. If the Attach Accept contained a new P-TMSI, the MS confirms the reception with Attach Complete.

The detach procedure is used by the mobile to deregister from GPRS services. 1. 2. The mobile initiated detach might be triggered by user command from mobile menu or when the mobile is switched off. If the detach Type indicates that the detach is not due to power switch off, the SGSN sends a Detach Accept to the MS.

DL-TBF UL-TBF
The network may initiate the GPRS detach when GPRS services are no longer accepted for a subscriber (e.g. the subscriber is cancelled from the HLR database). 1. 2. The SGSN informs the MS that it has been detached by sending detach Request to the MS. The mobile confirms the detach with detach accept.

DL-TBF
A PDP context represents a logical connection between a mobile and the network with a specific PDP address for data routing (e.g. fixed or dynamic local IP address) and a specific Quality of Service profile (QoS). The Activate PDP Context procedure is used to establish the connection. If supported by the mobile several PDP Contexts with different QoS profiles might be active handling different applications. 1 In the Activate PDP Context Request the mobile includes a requested QoS. The MS . shall use the PDP Address Information Element to indicate whether it requires the use of a static PDP Address or whether it requires the use of a dynamic PDP address. The MS leaves the PDP Address IE empty to request a dynamic PDP address. 2 The network verifies if it can support the requested QoS and if it is allowed for this . subscriber. Depending on the result, the SGSN may accept the Activate PDP Context Request with the requested or another QoS, or the SGSN rejects the Activate PDP Context Request. If requested by the mobile, the SGSN assigns a dynamic PDP-address. The MS either accepts the negotiated QoS profile, or deactivates the PDP context. 3 In the XID messages, parameters of the LLC and SNDCP layer are negotiated be. tween the mobile and the SGSN.

In GMM STANDBY status a mobile performs routing area updates but it doesnt inform the network about cell changes. A MS in STANDBY state must be paged by the SGSN before a downlink transfer to that MS is possible. The Paging procedure is used by the network to determine the cell where the mobile is located and moves the GMM state to READY. 1. The SGSN includes the IMSI, information about the area in which the mobile shall be paged and if available a P-TMSI. If included, the BSC shall use the P-TMSI instead of IMSI in the PAGING message on the Um-interface. 2. In response to a GPRS page, the mobile usually sends an unnumbered Information frame (UI). However any other uplink data from the MS can be a valid paging response. The BSC adds the Cell Global Identity (CGI) including RAC and LAC of the cell where the message was received before passing the message to the SGSN.

A routing area update takes place when a GPRS attached MS detects that it has entered a new RA, when the periodic RA update timer has expired, or when a suspended MS is not resumed by the BSS. 1. In the new cell the mobile sends a Routing Area Update Request including the old Routing Area Identication and the reason for the routing area update. The BSC adds the new Cell Global Identity including RAC and LAC of the cell where the message was received before passing the message to the SGSN. 2. When the SGSN detects the routing area update, it sends a FLUSH-LL PDU to the old BVC to initiate the following procedure: - at a cell change between two NSEIs or between two routing areas, LLC-PDU(s) stored at the "old" BVCI for the TLLI are deleted. - in response to a FLUSH-LL PDU the BSS shall send a FLUSH-LL-ACK PDU to the SGSN containing: -the TLLI received in the FLUSH-LL PDU.

3. The SGSN validates the presence of the MS in the new RA. If the MS is not allowed to be attached in the RA due to regional subscription restrictions, or if subscription checking fails, then the SGSN rejects the routing area update with an appropriate cause. If all checks are successful, then the SGSN updates the GMM context for the MS. A new P-TMSI may be allocated. A Routing Area Update Accept (RAAC) is returned to the MS. 4. The MS acknowledges the new P-TMSI by returning a Routing Area Update Complete (RACO). 5. Data transfer is continued in the new routing area.

1. A cell update takes place when the MS enters a new cell inside the current RA and the MS is in READY state. The MS performs the cell update procedure by sending an uplink LLC frame of any type containing the MS identity to the SGSN. Towards the SGSN, the BSS adds the BVCI and Cell Global Identity including RAC and LAC. 2. When the SGSN detects the cell change, it sends a FLUSH-LL PDU to the old BVC to initiate the following procedure: - at a cell change within one NSEI (e.g. one PCU represents one NSEI) and within one routing area, LLC-PDU(s) for a given TLLI stored at an "old" BVCI (corresponding to the old cell) are either deleted or transferred to a "new" BVCI (corresponding to the new cell) with which the TLLI is currently associated. 3. In response to a FLUSH-LL PDU the BSS shall send a FLUSH-LL-ACK PDU to the SGSN containing: - the TLLI received in the FLUSH-LL PDU and - an indication of whether the LLC-PDU(s) were "transferred" or "deleted". In case the SDUs were "transferred" the BVCI (new) IE shall be included. 4. Data transfer is continued in the new cell.

Information System
The Suspend / Resume procedure is used to interrupt GPRS data traffic temporarily to allow circuit switched services, e.g. answer to Paging for an incoming call, a periodic Location Update or in our example a Mobile Originating Call. 1. The mobile is transferring data. 2. The mobile leaves the Packet data trafc channels and switches to the BCCH. It requests a signalling channel (SDCCH) by sending CHNREQ on the Random Access Channel. 3. If a downlink TBF is active during this time, it will fail because the mobile is no longer monitoring the PDTCHs. The BSC reports this lost downlink TBF with a Radio Status (RSTA) and the number of not transferred with a LLC-discarded (LLCD) towards the SGSN. 4. The mobile sends a GPRS Suspend Request on the SDCCH. The BSC forwards the Suspend to the SGSN. The call set-up continues. 5. The call ends and the circuit switched resources are released. The BSC includes the resume command towards the mobile in the channel release message and sends in parallel a resume message towards SGSN. 6. Whether data transfer is continued or not depends on the recovery mechanism and time out of the suspended application.

Inter System Cell Reselection Procedure (2G <--> 3G), packet oriented (PO), intra SGSN inter system change Successful Inter System Cell Reselection Procedure (2G --> 3G)
The inter system change from A/Gb mode to Iu mode takes place when a GPRSattached MS changes from A/Gb mode to GERAN or UTRAN IU mode. Depending on the GPRS mobility management state before the inter system change and whether the Routing Area (RA) is changed or not, one of the following procedures is initiated by the MS: When an MS in STANDBY state changes to Iu mode inside the current RA, the MS shall follow the selective RA update procedures. When an MS in STANDBY state changes to Iu mode and the RA changes, the MS shall initiate the Iu mode RA update procedure. When an MS in READY state changes to Iu mode independent of whether the RA has changed or not, the MS shall initiate the Iu mode RA update procedure and afterwards initiate the Radio Access Bearers (RABs) by the Service Request procedure. The RA update procedure is either combined RA / LA update or only RA update. If the network operated in mode I, an MS that is both PS-attached and CS-attached shall perform the Combined RA / LA Update procedure. This concerns only idle mode (see 3GPP TS 23.122), as no combined RA / LA updates are performed during a CS connection. In the context of this specification, the terms RNS (or RNC) refer also to a GERAN BSS (or BSC) when serving an MS in Iu mode.

1. The MS or the RAN decides to perform an inter system change which makes the MS switch to a new cell where Iu mode has to be used, and stops transmission to the network. 2. The MS initiates an RRC connection establishment and sends a Routing Area Update (RAU) Request (P-TMSI, Old RA, Old P-TMSI Signature, Update Type, CM) message to the combined 2G+3G-SGSN. Update Type shall indicate RA update or combined RA / LA update or combined RA / LA update with IMSI attach requested. A combined RA / LA update with IMSI attach requested occurs also if the MS has a follow on request, i.e. if there is pending uplink trafc (signalling or data). As an implementation option, the SGSN may use the follow-on request indication to release or keep the Iu connection after the completion of the RA update procedure. The SRNS shall add an identier of the area where the message was received before passing the message to the 2G+3G-SGSN. The 2G+3G-SGSN stops transmission of N-PDUs to the MS. 3. Authentication/Ciphering functions may be executed. 4. Security functions may be executed. 5. The 2G+3G-SGSN validates the presence of the MS in the new RA. If due to roaming restrictions the MS is not allowed to be attached in the RA, or if subscription checking fails, the 2G+3G-SGSN rejects the RAU with an appropriate cause. If all checks are successful, the 2G+3G-SGSN updates MM and PDP contexts for the MS. A new P-TMSI may be allocated. A RAU Accept (P-TMSI, P-TMSI Signature) message is returned to the MS. For this inter system change, the 2G+3-SGSN derives the corresponding PDCP sequence numbers from the N-PDU sequence numbers stored in the SGSN PDP contexts by adding eight most signicant bits 1. These PDCP sequence numbers are stored in the SGSN PDP contexts. 6. The MS acknowledges the new P-TMSI by returning a RAU Complete message to the SGSN. 7. A Modify PDP context request N -> MS is sent from 2G+3G-SGSN to the MS. 8. If the MS has pending uplink data or signalling, it shall send a Service Request (P-TMSI, RAI, CKSN, Service Type) message to the SGSN. Service Type species the requested service. Service Type shall indicate one of the following: Data or Signalling. 9. The MS/UE responds with a Modify PDP context accept to the 2G+3G-SGSN MS -> N. 10. - 12. The 2G+3G-SGSN requests the SRNS to establish a radio access bearer by sending an RAB Assignment Request (RAB ID(s), QoS Prole(s), GTP-SNDs, GTPSNUs, PDCP-SNUs) message to the SRNS. The PDCP sequence numbers are derived from the N-PDU sequence numbers and stored in the PDP contexts in step 5. The SRNS sends a Radio Bearer Setup Request (PCDP-SNUs) message to the MS. The MS responds with a Radio Bearer Setup Complete (PDCP-SNDs) message. The SRNS responds with a RAB Assignment Response message. Note: The NSAPI value is carried in the RAB ID IE.

Successful Inter System Cell Reselection Procedure (3G --> 2G)

The inter system change from Iu mode to A/Gb mode takes place when an MS changes from UTRAN or GERAN Iu mode to A/Gb mode. Depending on the PMM state before the inter system change and whether the RA is changed or not, one of the following procedures is initiated by the MS: When an MS in PMM-IDLE state changes to A/Gb mode without changing the RA, the MS shall follow the selective Routing Area Update (RAU) procedure. When an MS in PMM-IDLE state changes to A/Gb mode and the RA changes, the MS shall initiate the GPRS RAU procedures. When an MS in PMM-CONNECTED state changes to the A/Gb mode, the MS shall initiate the GPRS RAU procedure independent of whether the RA has changed or not. The RAU procedure is either combined RA / LA update or only RAU. A combined RA / LA update takes place in network operation mode I when the MS enters a new RA or when a GPRS-attached MS performs IMSI attach. The MS sends a RAU Request message indicating that an LA update may also need to be performed. In this case the SGSN forwards the LA update to the VLR. This concerns only idle mode (see 3GPP TS 23.122), as no combined RA / LA updates are performed during a CS connection. In the context of this specification, the terms RNS (or RNC) refer also to a GERAN BSS (or BSC) when serving an MS in Iu mode.

1. The MS or the RAN decides to perform an inter system change which makes the MS switch to a new cell where A/Gb mode has to be used, and stops transmission to the network. 2. The MS sends a RAU Request (old RAI, old P-TMSI Signature, Update Type) message to the 2G+3G-SGSN. Update Type shall indicate RAU or combined RA / LA update or combined RA / LA update with IMSI attach requested. A combined RA / LA update with IMSI attach requested occurs if the MS wants to perform an IMSI attach. The BSS shall add the Cell Global Identity including the RAC and LAC of the cell where the message was received before passing the message to the 2G+3GSGSN. 3. If the MS is PMM-CONNECTED state, the 2G+3G-SGSN sends an SRNS Context Request (IMSI) message to the SRNS. 4. Upon reception of the SRNS Context Request message, the SRNS starts buffering and stops sending downlink PDUs to the MS. The SRNS responds with an SRNS Context Response (GTP-SNDs, GTP-SNUs, PDCP-SNDs, PDCP-SNUs) message. The GTP sequence numbers are included for each PDP context indicating the next in-sequence downlink GTP-PDU to be sent to the MS and the next in-sequence GTP PDU to be tunnelled to the GGSN. For each active PDP context which uses lossless PDCP, the SRNS also includes the uplink PDCP sequence number (PDCP-SNU) and the downlink PDCP sequence number (PDCP-SND). PDCP-SNU is the PDCP sequence number for the next expected in-sequence uplink packet to be received from the MS. PDCP-SND is the PDCP sequence number of the rst downlink packet for which successful transmission has not been conrmed. The 2G+3G-SGSN shall take off the eight most signicant bits of the passed PDCP sequence numbers, thus converting them to SNDCP N-PDU numbers of the respective 2G GPRS PDP contexts. 5. Authentication/Ciphering functions may be executed. 6. If the MS is PMM-CONNTECTED, the 2G+3G-SGSN sends an SRNS Data Forward Command (RAB ID, Transport Layer Address, Iu Transport Association) message to the SRNS. This message informs the SRNS that the 2G+3G-SGSN is ready to receive data packets. Upon reception of SRNS Data Forward Command message from the 2G+3G-SGSN, the SRNS shall start the data-forwarding timer. 7. For each RAB indicated by the SRNS Data Forward Command, the SRNS starts duplicating and tunnelling the buffered GTP-PDUs back to the 2G+3G-SGSN. For each radio bearer which uses lossless PDCP, the GTP-PDUs related to transmitted but not yet acknowledged PDCP-PDUs are duplicated and tunnelled back to the 2G+3G-SGSN. Their related downlink PDCP sequence numbers are sent with them. The 2G+3G-SGSN converts the PDCP sequence numbers to SNDCP sequence numbers by taking off the eight most signicant bits of the PDCP sequence numbers. 8. The 2G+3G-SGSN sends an Iu Release Command message to the SRNS. When the RNC data-forwarding timer has expired, the SRNS responds with an Iu Release Complete message. 9. The 2G+3G-SGSN validates the presence of the MS in the new RA. If due to roaming restrictions the MS is not allowed to be attached in the RA, or if subscription checking fails, the 2G+3G-SGSN rejects the RAU with an appropriate cause. If all checks are successful, the 2G+3G-SGSN updates MM and PDP contexts for the MS. A new P-TMSI may be allocated. A logical link is established between the new 2G+3G-SGSN and the MS. 2G+3G-SGSN initiates the establishment procedure. A RAU Accept (P-TMSI, P-TMSI Signature, Receive N-PDU Number) message is returned to the MS. The Receive N-PDU Number is equal to the converted PDCP-

SNU. It contains the acknowledgements for each NSAPI which used lossless PDCP before the start of the update procedure. All mobile-originated N-PDUs which were successfully transferred before the start of the update procedure are thereby conrmed. If the Receive N-PDU Number conrms the reception of N-PDUs, these NPDUs shall be discarded by the MS. 10. The MS acknowledges the new P-TMSI by returning a RAU Complete (Receive NPDU Number) message to the SGSN. The Receive N-PDU Number is equal to the converted PDCP-SND. It contains the acknowledgements for each NSAPI which used lossless PDCP before the start of the update procedure. All mobile-terminated N-PDUs which were successfully transferred before the start of the update procedure are thereby conrmed. If the Receive N-PDU Number conrms the reception of N-PDUs, these N-PDUs shall be discarded by the 2G+3G-SGSN. The MS deducts Receive N-PDU Number from PDCP-SND by taking off the eight most significant bits. PDCP-SND is the PDCP sequence number for the next expected insequence downlink packet which is received in the MS per radio bearer and which used lossless PDCP. The new 2G-SGSN negotiates the use of acknowledged or unacknowledged SNDCP with the MS for each NSAPI, regardless whether the SRNS used lossless PDCP or not. 11. A Modify PDP context request N -> MS is sent from 2G+3G-SGSN to the MS. The MS responds with a Modify PDP context accept to the 2G+3G-SGSN MS -> N.
1.3.3
RLC/MAC Message Flows

All afore mentioned GPRS Mobility Management and Data Transfer procedures use the RLC/MAC message flows described below. Data and GMM messages are transferred in Temporary Block Flows (TBF). Each TBF consists of the resource allocation, the transfer of RLC/MAC data blocks itself, the respective acknowledgements if required and the release of the resources. Three basic TBF types exist: Uplink TBF Downlink TBF Concurrent TBF
In case more detailed information is required, please refer to the GSM specifications (RLC/MAC: GSM 04.60). Timeslot allocation of various multislot classes: Up- and downlink resources are allocated to the mobiles depending on their multislot classes.

Uplink TBF / One Phase Access on CCCH The purpose of the packet access procedure is to establish an uplink TBF to transfer LLC PDUs in the direction from the mobile station to the network. The scenario describes the packet access procedure on CCCH (no PBCCH is configured in the cell). For a GPRS data transfer with a MS not supporting UL Extended TBF or UL Extended TBF not enabled at BSC side. With the one phase access, only a single PDCH can be allocated in the uplink direction, otherwise a two phase access is required. 1. The MS sends a Channel Request message with the establishment cause. For One phase packet access with request for single timeslot uplink transmission; one PDCH is needed (011110xx, 01111x0x, 01111xx0). 2. If no PDCH has been activated, a single timeslot will be congured as PDCH and the Time Alignment procedure is performed. 3. The BSC sends an Immediate Assignment towards the MS. A set of GPRS related parameters is included indicating e.g. the Temporary Flow Identier (TFI), the Uplink State Flag (USF) and the Coding Scheme (CS). 4. Packet Downlink Dummy Control Blocks (PDDCB) with the USF value previously assigned to the MS are transmitted in the allocated PDCH. The MS monitors the USF of all downlink blocks on this timeslot to send its uplink data blocks as response to the occurence of its assigned USF. The PDDCBs continue during the whole uplink TBF - only the rst one is drawn in the message ow! 5. A Mobile might send a Packet Uplink Dummy Control Block (PUDCB) as rst block of an uplink TBF. This is probably because the uplink user data is not yet ready for transmission inside the MS. 6. The MS starts to send user data (LLC-frames) inside the uplink RLC/MAC blocks. The TLLI of the MS is included until the Contention Resolution procedure is completed (rst PUAN with TLLI). The data blocks are counted up with the Block Sequence Number BSN (modulo 128). The Countdown Value CV remains at its maximum value as long as more than 15 RLC/MAC data blocks remain to be send. 7. The BSC acknowledges the rst received uplink data block with a Packet Uplink Ack/Nack message (PUAN). As soon as the MS receives this rst PUAN message including its TLLI, the Contention Resolution is completed and the MS continues sending its uplink data blocks without its TLLI inserted. The MS is now clearly identied - concurrent TBF handling according to its multislot capabilities is possible. 8. The BSC acknowledges every single uplink data block received from the mobile with a moving window mechanism. For this purpose the BSC sends every N-th block (N=NRLCMAX; BSS database parameter) a PUAN message indicating which blocks were correctly received or not. Missing blocks will be repeated by the mobile and acknowledged in the next scheduled PUAN message. 9. If the MS has sent most of its uplink data, the Countdown Value CV starts counting down towards the nal block. This allows the network to calculate the remaining blocks of the running uplink TBF. 10. As soon as CV=0 is reached, the MS has transferred all uplink data. The uplink TBF however remains open until the last sent blocks were acknowledged by the BSS. The MS repeats uplink blocks that have been sent already before the nal PUAN is received. 11. The BSC conrms the remaining uplink blocks with the nal PUAN the Final Ack Indication is set. Additionally the MS is polled with the RRBP-bit set to conrm the reception of this nal PUAN.

This scenario assumes the MS is in GMM ready state, therefore no paging is required or it was already performed including the paging response. For a GPRS data transfer with a MS not supporting UL Extended TBF or UL Extended TBF not enabled at BSC side. 1. Downlink data (LLC-frame) arrives on the Gb-interface from the SGSN. 2. If no PDCH has been activated, the required number of timeslots will be congured as PDCH. The actually activated number of timeslots basically depends on the MS capabilities (which are known to the BSC since its GPRS attach), however less timeslots are possible under various circumstances (e.g. trafc load). For each timeslot a separate CHNAV/CHNAK message is required - the timeslot numbers indicated in the message ow are regarded as relative numbers! 3. The BSC sends an Immediate Assignment for a downlink TBF towards the MS. A set of GPRS related parameters is included, indicating e.g. the Temporary Logical Link Identity (TLLI) of the MS and the Temporary Flow Identier (TFI) of the TBF. The IA message is either sent on the AGCH or the PCH - depending if the MS is still in Non-DRX Mode or not. Only a single timeslot can be allocated with the Immediate Assignment message. 4. The MS moves to the allocated PDCH timeslot (according the IA) where it receives the Packet Downlink Assignment (PDAS). This message now allocates all intended downlink timeslots (in our case three) and includes e.g. the TLLI as well as the TFI. Additionally the poll bit is set (RRBP=1) - the BSC requests a conrmation from the MS about the correct reception of the PDAS message.

5. The MS responds to the polling with a Packet Control Ack (PCA) - the PCA format is 4 access bursts. These access bursts are used by the BSC to calculate the initial timing advance value for the mobile. 6. Downlink data transfer starts on timeslot 1. The MS listens on the assigned 3 timeslots to all downlink blocks with its own TFI, the RLC/MAC blocks are counted up with the Block Sequence Number (BSN). 7. The initial timing advance value is sent to the MS with a Packet Power Control/Timing Advance message (PPCTA). This allows the mobile to transmit (e.g. PDAN) before a continuous timing advance value is available. 8. Every N-th downlink data block (N=NRLCMAX, the default value NRLCMAX=20 is used in case the MS is not the only on the timeslots, otherwise the default value is 15) the BSC polls the MS for a Packet Downlink Ack/Nack message (PDAN). This polling can only be sent on the timeslot of the TBF which is used for uplink signalling purpose - in case of a 3+1 MS timeslot #2 is used. 9. The MS answers the polling with a PDAN message. All RLC/MAC data blocks received by the MS until the transmission of this PDAN are acknowledged. A moving window mechanism is used. If blocks were not correctly received by the mobile, the BSC will repeat them soon after the reception of the PDAN. The repeated blocks will then be acknowledged in the next PDAN message. 10. If the end of the downlink transfer is reached (last BSN=z), the BSC sets the Final Block Indicator bit (FBI) in this last block and polls the MS for a nal PDAN (RRBP=1). 11. The MS conrms the remaining downlink blocks with a PDAN. The Final Ack Indication is set, the downlink TBF is complete and no retransmissions are required. The MS remains on the PDCH and listens for new assignments until the timer T3192 expires. Afterwards it returns to listen to the BCCH. In the example shown above, the DELAyed DL TBF is disabled.

Concurrent UL TBF while a DL TBF is actice / Example with a 3+1 Mobile / CCCH only If a downlink TBF is already active and the MS needs to transmit data in uplink direction additionally, a concurrent uplink TBF is initiated. The described scenario occurs frequently for instance in case of a downlink FTP transfer. For a GPRS data transfer with a MS not supporting UL Extended TBF or UL Extended TBF not enabled at BSC side. While the downlink data is transported in a continuously running DL TBF (in our example 3 timeslots), the FTP Acks need to be sent in uplink direction. Concurrent DL TBF while a UL TBF is active / Example with a 3+1 Mobile / CCCH only CAUTION: As the downlink transfer is continuously active during the whole uplink assignment (or even UL TBF), the usual DL message flow continues respectively. Please be aware that not all DL TBF related messages can be inserted in the message flow (please refer to DL TBF only description). 1. 2. LLC data is ready for uplink transmission towards the network. The downlink TBF is running. The MS requests resources for an uplink TBF within the next scheduled Packet Downlink Ack/Nack (PDAN) of the running downlink TBF. For this purpose it adds a Channel Request Description element inside the PDAN message. The BSC sends a Packet Uplink Assignment (PUAS) towards the MS. The Temporary Flow Identifier (TFI), the Uplink State Flag (USF) and the Coding Scheme (CS) are specified. The PUAS is sent on relative timeslot 2 which is used as uplink timeslot in case of a 3+1 MS. The BSC sets the assigned USF in downlink blocks on timeslot 2. The MS might send a Packet Uplink Dummy Control Block (PUDCB) as first block of the new UL TBF. This probably because the uplink user data is not yet ready for transmission inside the MS. The MS starts sending the uplink user data. The Contention Resolution procedure is not necessary as the MS is aIready clearly identified by the running DL TBF. In our example the complete uplink transfer consists of only 3 RLC/MAC blocks, which is a typical scenario for FTP uplink Acks in a downlink FTP. The last uplink block is sent with the Countdown Value (CV) = 0. This indicates the complete transmission of the uplink data and triggers the final Packet Uplink Ack/Nack (PUAN) message. The MS repeats the uplink blocks until the final PUAN has been received by the MS. The BSC sends the final Packet Uplink Ack/Nack (PUAN) and polls the MS to confirm its reception (RRBP=1). A Packet Control Ack (PCA) is sent by the MS as response to the previous polling. The downlink TBF continues solely.

Information System
Concurrent DL TBF while a UL TBF is active / Example with a 3+1 Mobile / CCCH only If an uplink TBF is already running and the MS needs to send data in downlink direction additionally, a concurrent downlink TBF is initiated. The described scenario occurs frequently for instance in case of an uplink FTP transfer: While the uplink data is transported in a continuously running UL TBF (in our example 1 timeslot), the FTP ACKs need to be sent in downlink direction. CAUTION: As the uplink transfer is continuously active during the whole downlink assignment (or even DL TBF), the usual UL message flow continues respectively. Please be aware that not all UL TBF related messages can be inserted in the message flow (please refer to UL TBF only description). 1. An uplink transfer between the MS and the BSS is ongoing. We assume the relative timeslot 2 is already used for the uplink transfer because an uplink FTP is already running for a longer time. In case the uplink TBF was just opened on the relative timeslot 1 and a first concurrent downlink TBF is required, the system will send a Packet Timeslot Reconfigure message (PTR) instead of the PDAS (see below). This because the position of the running uplink TBF must be moved to the relative timeslot 2 during a 3 timeslot downlink TBF. 2. Downlink data (LLC-frame) arrives on the Gb-interface from the GSN. 3. If only a single PDCH is activated yet, two more timeslots will be configured as PDCH and the Time Alignment procedure is performed on these new timeslots. 4. The uplink TBF continues - PDDCBs indicate the assigned USF towards the MS, the MS sends its data in the next uplink block. 5. The BSC sends a Packet Downlink Assignment (PDAS) towards the MS. This message assignes the used downlink TBF timeslots and the Temporary Flow Identifier (TFI) to the MS (TLLI). Additionally the poll bit is set (RRBP=1) - the BSC requests a confirmation from the MS about the correct reception of the PDAS message. 6. The MS responds to the polling with a Packet Control ACK (PCA) in the reserved uplink block. The uplink TBF is meanwhile ongoing. 7. The BSC starts sending the downlink data blocks of the new TBF. The DL data blocks on TS 2 continue setting the USF bit for the ongoing uplink TBF. 8. After NRLCMAX blocks are sent, the BSC polls the MS for a Packet Downlink ACK/NACK message (PDAN). (N=NRLCMAX,the default value NRLCMAX=20 is used in case the MS is not the only on the timeslots, otherwise the default value is 15, therefore the downlink data block with BSN=19 polls the MS). Due to the polling this block must be sent on TS 2 even if a different NRLCMAX value suggests another timeslot. UL allocation is meant as to avoid also DL function, so PUAS can be sent. Instead, if MS request in UL creates a final allocation with impacts on DL, the message sent to MS on TS2 is a PTR (Packet Timeslot Reconfigure). 9. The PDAN message from the MS is received in the reserved uplink radio block. All RLC/MAC data blocks successfully received by the MS until the transmission of this message are acknowledged. 10. The final downlink data block is sent from the BSC. The Final Block Indicator Bit (FBI) is set and the BSC polls for a final Packet Downlink ACK/NACK (RRBP=1). Due to the polling, also this block must be sent on TS 2 independent of the previous sequence. 11. The final PDAN confirms all remaining RLC/MAC blocks of the downlink TBF.
