1  Scopep. 10

The present document specifies the procedures used at the CTS radio interface (Reference Point Um*, see GSM 03.56) for Call Control (CC), Mobility Management (MM), Radio Resource (RR).
When the notations for "further study" or "FS" or "FFS" are present in the present document they mean that the indicated text is not a normative portion of the present document.
These procedures are defined in terms of messages exchanged over the control channels of the radio interface. The CTS control channels are described in GSM 03.52.
The structured functions and procedures of this protocol and the relationship with other layers and entities are described in general terms in GSM 04.07.

1.1  Scope of the Technical Specificationp. 10

The procedures currently described in the present document are for the call control of circuit-switched connections, mobility management and radio resource management for circuit-switched services over the CTS radio interface.
GSM 04.10 contains functional procedures for support of supplementary services.
GSM 04.11 contains functional procedures for support of point-to-point short message services.
Up

1.2  Application to the interface structuresp. 10

The layer 3 procedures apply to the interface structures defined in GSM 04.03. They use the functions and services provided by layer 2 defined in GSM 04.05 and GSM 04.06. GSM 04.07 gives the general description of layer 3 including procedures, messages format and error handling.

1.3  Structure of layer 3 proceduresp. 10

A building block method is used to describe the layer 3 procedures.
The basic building blocks are "elementary procedures" provided by the protocol control entities of the three sublayers, i.e. radio resource management, mobility management and connection management sublayer.
Complete layer 3 transactions consist of specific sequences of elementary procedures. The term "structured procedure" is used for these sequences.

1.4  Test proceduresp. 10

Test procedures of the GSM-CTS radio interface signalling are described in GSM 11.10 and GSM 11.56 series.

1.5  Use of logical channelsp. 10

The logical control channels are defined in GSM 03.52. In the following those control channels are considered which carry signalling information or specific types of user packet information: [to be completed]:
  1. CTS Beacon CHannel (CTSBCH): downlink only, used to broadcast Cell specific information and fixed part identification information;
  2. CTS Paging CHannel (CTSPCH): downlink only, used to send page requests to Mobile Stations (MSs);
  3. CTS Access Random CHannel (CTSARCH): uplink only, used to request a Dedicated Control CHannel;
  4. CTS-Access Grant CHannel (CTSAGCH): downlink only, used to allocate a Dedicated Control CHannel;
  5. Fast Associated Control CHannel (FACCH): bi-directional, associated with a Traffic CHannel;
    vi) Slow Associated Control CHannel (SACCH): bi-directional, associated with a Traffic CHannel;
Two service access points are defined on signalling layer 2 which are discriminated by their Service Access Point Identifiers (SAPI) (see GSM 04.06):
  1. SAPI 0: supports the transfer of signalling information including user-user information;
  2. SAPI 3: supports the transfer of user short messages.
Layer 3 selects the service access point, the logical control channel and the mode of operation of layer 2 (acknowledged, unacknowledged or random access, see GSM 04.05 and GSM 04.06) as required for each individual message.

1.6  Overview of control proceduresp. 11

1.6.1  List of proceduresp. 11

The following procedures are specified in the present document:
  1. Clause 4 specifies elementary procedures for Radio Resource management:
  2. Clause 5 specifies elementary procedures for CTS-Mobility Management:
  3. mobility management common procedures (subclause 5.2):
  4. mobility management specific procedures (subclause 5.3):
  5. Clause 6 specifies CTS specific elementary procedure for circuit switched Call Control:
  6. signalling procedures during the active state:
The elementary procedures can be combined to form structured procedures. Examples of such structured procedures are given in clause 7. This part of the Technical Specification is only provided for guidance to assist implementations.
Clause 8 specifies actions to be taken on various error conditions and also provides rules to ensure compatibility with future enhancements of the protocol.

3  Definitions, abbreviations and Random valuesp. 16

3.1  Definitionsp. 16

For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in GSM 04.08 and the following apply:
CTS-idle mode:
in this mode, the mobile station is not allocated any dedicated channel; it listens to the BCH and to the CCH when requested

3.2  Abbreviationsp. 16

For the purposes of the present document, the abbreviations given in GSM 01.04 apply.

3.3  Random valuesp. 16

In a number of places in the present document, it is mentioned that some value must take a "random" value, in a given range, or more generally with some statistical distribution.
It is required that there is a low probability that two equipment's in the same conditions (including the case of two equipment's of the same type from the same manufacturer) will choose the same value. Moreover, it is required that, if it happens that two equipment's in similar conditions choose the same value, the probability of their choices being identical at the next occasion is the same as if their first choices had been different.
The meaning of such a specification is that any statistical test for these values, done on a series of similar events, will obtain a result statistically compatible with the specified distribution. This shall hold even in the cases where the tests are conducted with a subset of possible events, with some common parameters. Moreover, basic tests of independence of the values within the series shall pass.
Data against which correlation with the values shall not be found are the protocol state, or the IMSI, or identities or other unrelated information broadcast by the network, or the current TDMA frame number.
