4  General AspectsWord‑p. 10

4.1  Common Transport Channel Data Streams User Plane Protocol Services

This subclause describes the services that the User Plane Protocols provide such as data transfer, flow control.

4.1.1  RACH Data Streams User Plane Protocol Services

RACH frame protocol provides the following services:
  • Transport of MAC-c/sh SDUs from the DRNC to the SRNC for RACH common transport channels.

4.1.2  FACH Data Streams User Plane Protocol ServicesWord‑p. 11

FACH frame protocol provides the following services:
  • Transport of MAC-c/sh SDUs from the SRNC to the DRNC for FACH common transport channel.
  • Flow Control between MAC-d and MAC-c/sh.

4.1.3  USCH/DSCH Data Streams User Plane Protocol Services [TDD]

[TDD USCH]/DSCH frame protocol provides the following services:
  • Transport of MAC-c/sh SDUs between the SRNC and the DRNC for [TDD USCH] and DSCH common transport channels.
  • Flow Control between MAC-d and MAC-c/sh.

4.1.4  HS-DSCH Data Streams User Plane Protocol Services |R5|

HS-DSCH frame protocol provides the following services:
  • Transport of MAC-d flows between the SRNC and the DRNC for HS-DSCH common transport channels.
  • Flow Control between MAC-d and CRNC HS-DSCH Flow Control.

4.1.5  E-DCH for CELL_FACH and Idle Data Streams User Plane Protocol Services [FDD and 1.28Mcps TDD] |R8|

E-DCH for CELL_FACH and Idle frame protocol provides the following services:
  • Transport of MAC-is PDUs in Cell_FACH state between the DRNC and the SRNC for E-DCH common transport channels.

4.2  Services expected from the Data Transport Network layer

The following services are expected from the transport layer:
  • Delivery of Frame Protocol PDUs.
In sequence delivery is not required. However, frequent out-of-sequence delivery may impact the performance and should be avoided.

4.3  Protocol Version

This revision of the specification specifies version 1 of the protocols.
