2 GENERAL PRESENTATION

2.1 Preliminaries

Each message is described in the same way:

• A general overview,

• A detailed description of the Information Elements,

• A bit description.

The messages dictionary includes also in this part:

• A summary of all the messages described into the dictionary,

• A cross reference of all the Information Elements. This allows finding all the messages in whichone Information Element appears.

2.2 Messages presentation

2.2.1 Introduction

All the messages are organised alphabetically under the relevant interface (SMSCB and GPRSmessages are gathered each in a dedicated section). Three parts are given for each messages:

• a general overview:

It is a general description of the message including the Information Elements list, the maximumand minimum lengths in octets, the normal and abnormal following events.

• A detailed description of the Information Elements:

It is mainly the use of the Information Element within the BSS entities.

• A Bit Description:

It is a bit presentation of the message as it is received or transmitted over the involved interfaces.

2.2.2 The general overview

It is the first page for each message. It includes:

NAME field:The name of the message.

INTERFACE field:The list of three Interfaces

CHANNEL/USAGE field:According to the involved interface, it is the radio channel definition or the fact that the message istransparent or not for the BTS. When the box is empty, the message is not used on this interface.

3GPP-REF. field:It is the reference to a 3GPP technical specification.

FUNCTION field:It is the description of the function of the message. This is extracted from the 3GPP technical

specifications.

EVOLIUM 0111_06.doc14/03/2007 3BK 11203 0111 DSZZA 15/ 563 

DIRECTION field:It is the direction of the message from one entity of the BSS or MS to another one.

INFORMATION ELEMENT LIST field:It is the list of all the Information Elements. For each Information Element the following information isgiven:

- Mandatory or Optional,

- Fixed or Variable length,

- The length in bytes,

- Some short comments.For a full description of the use of 'M', 'C', 'L', 'O' and 'V', refer to 3GPP TS 04.07. These rules are alsoused for SMSCB IEs although they are not defined in 3GPP TS.

IMPLEMENTATION MAXIMUM LENGTH field:It is the total of all used information elements, mandatory or optional. When the length is fixed for allparameters, a unique value is given. When not, a range is given ("minimum length" - "maximumlength")

FOLLOWING EVENT field:It is the description of following events (for specific procedure) for the normal and abnormal cases.

TIMER field:It is the name of the Timers (started or stopped) associated with the message.

SPECIFICATION DOC. REF. field:It is the reference of relevant ALCATEL document.

2.3 The information element description

One page (or more) per Information Element (The classification of the following pages respects the

order given by 3GPP TS).On the Radio Interface, if the Information element is mandatory, the Information element identifier (IEI)is not present (it is marked with a star). If the length is fixed the length is not present.For each Information Element:

PARAMETER NAME field

TYPE field:This field is used to give the Mandatory or Optional information.Note: In the 3GPP TS 44.018, this field has been split into two fields designated presence and

Format. For simplicity the designation TYPE is retained in this document.

DEFINITION field:

It is an extract of 3GPP TSs. giving the usage of the Information Element.

BIT DESCRIPTION field:It is a bit description of the element with all the needed information, including the sub parameter definition.

SUB-PARAMETER DEFINITION field:It is a description (if needed) of all the sub parameters defined in the bit description.

PARAMETER ORIGIN - ACTION ON PARAMETER field:It is a description of the action to be performed when receiving or transmitting the message.

5 DESCRIPTION OF THE HEADER ON THE RADIO INTERFACE

This section is not relevant to SMSCB nor GPRS messages.

5.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION FOR STANDARD L3 MESSAGE

The header on the radio interface is called header and is composed of three parameters:

• Protocol discriminator.

• Transaction identifier or skip indicator.

• Message type.

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Transaction identifier or skip indicator 

Protocol Discriminator 

Message type I.E.

5.1.1 PROTOCOL DISCRIMINATOR

DEFINITIONThe purpose of the protocol discriminator is to distinguish between messages belonging to thefollowing procedures.

• call control

• mobility management

• radio resources management

• other signalling procedures.

The protocol discriminator is the first part of every message and occupies the first four bits of the firstoctet in a message.

5.1.2 TRANSACTION IDENTIFIER/SKIP INDICATOR

DEFINITION:The purpose of transaction identifier (TI) is to distinguish multiple parallel activities (transactions) within one mobile station.The TI flag identifies who allocates the TI value for this transaction, so the TI flag resolvessimultaneous attempts to allocate the same TI value.

BIT DESCRIPTION

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

TIflag

TI value

TI Flag:0 The message is sent from the side that originates the TI.1 The message is sent to the side that originates the TI.

TI value:From 0 to 6The value 7 is reserved for future extension.

The transaction identifier for Mobility Management and Radio Resources messages use thepredefined value 0 ( it is the skip indicator in this case ).

5.1.3 MESSAGE TYPE

The message type IE and its use are defined in 3GPP TS 24.007.

The bit 7 (and possibly bit 8, see below), N(SD), is reserved for the sequencing of theMobility Management and Connection Management messages to avoid duplication of messages.

The skip indicator and send sequence number N(SD) are not checked by the BSS.

Note: Case of BCCH and AGCH/PCH messages

The messages are structured as standard L3 messages plus one octet in front, the L2 pseudo lengthoctet, and a rest octet part at the end.

5.1.3.1 Coding of message type IE when accessing Release 98 and older networks

Message Type I.E. of MM, CC, SS, GCC, BCC and LCS messages is coded as follows when

accessing Release 98 and older networks :

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

0 N(SD) Message type

Message Type I.E. of messages other than MM, CC, SS, GCC, BCC and LCS is coded as follows when accessing Release 98 and older networks :

5.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION FOR NON STANDARD L3 MESSAGE

In some protocols, the structure of part or all of the messages might not always follow the standard L3message structure. As a design rule, this should be consistent for a given protocol, direction and lower layer SAP.

5.2.1 Messages using the short header format

The messages are structured either as standard L3 messages, or in the so-called short header format. The value of the 8

thbit (bit 1 of octet 1) of the link layer PDU distinguishes the two cases. In

the case of the short header, the L3 message is the same bit string as the link layer PDU, and has a

fixed length. The following description includes the 2-bit link layer header.

5.2.1.1 The first octet

Bits 1 and 2 are the link layer header. Bit 2 of octet 1 is set to "0", and bit 1 is reserved for the linklayer.A protocol discriminator is the first part of the message (starting bit 8 of octet 1). The protocoldiscriminator field may have different lengths. The following protocol discriminator is defined:

• 0 RR.

All additional PD defined for this structure shall start by 1. The reception of a message with bit 8 of octet 1 set to 1 when expecting a message structured as defined by this clause shall be diagnosed asan unknown PD, and the message ignored.As a design rule, a message type field should follow the PD, and of a length such that the PD and themessage type fit in the 6 first bits of the message.

5.2.1.2 The rest of the message

The rest of the structure is not more constrained.

5.2.1.3 MESSAGE TYPE

The message type IE and its use are defined in 3GPP TS 24.007.

FORMAT-ID : Format identifier.

F0 : Frequency 0 indicator. Coded 0 if ARFCN 0 is not a member of the set. Coded 1 if ARFCN 0 is a member of the set.

ORIG-ARFCN : This field encodes the ARFCN of one frequency belonging to the set. This value isalso used as the origin of the bit map to generate all the other frequencies.

RRFCN N : Relative Radio Frequency Channel Number N.- For an RF channel with ARFCN = (ORIG-ARFCN + N) mod 1024 belonging to the set,

then RRFCN N bit is coded as '1'.- For an RF channel with ARFCN = (ORIG-ARFCN + N) mod 1024 not belonging to the set,

then RRFCN N bit is coded as '0'.

W : Each non null W(k) allows to compute, together with some previous W(i) the ARFCNF(k) of a frequency in the set (see 3GPP TS 44.01844.018 for computation formulas).

Call release (ref. [5])

(1) Sent to phase 2 MS, only during location updating procedure.

(2) Only sent to the MS which supports the GPRS services.

(3) There is only one Use Case in which the BTS sends Channel Release message with Group

Channel Description OIE and Cell Channel Description OIE:

“If a MS VGCS originator/talker performs an intercell handover towards a non hopping channel,

and if in the target cell the corresponding group call channel is a hopping one. When the talker 

stops talking, if the BTS sends Channel Release message with Group Channel Description OIE

but without Cell Channel Description OIE, the former talker cannot understand this message”.

See “reason for change” of 3GPP CR 44.018/301r2.In case of Notification Response procedure, the BTS sends Channel Release message withGroup Channel Description OIE but without the Cell Channel Description OIE.

(1) Used in the two following cases: i) Used for Phase 2 biband MS when the assigned channel ishopping in the P-GSM band if it is the shortest way to encode the hopping frequencies or ii) usedfor any MS when the assigned channel is hopping in the E-GSM (and not P-GSM), GSM850,DCS1800 or DCS1900 band if it is the shortest way to encode the hopping frequencies.

(2) Internal handover: Sent only if cipher algorithm is changed in a phase 2 MS.External handover:-

Phase 1 MSs: never sent- Phase 2 MSs:

- if chosen encryption is the same as the one used on the old channel (*): not sent- Otherwise (chosen encryption is different or not known) : sent.(*)Note: This information is given in the OIE “chosen encryption algorithm (serving)” sent by theMSC in HO_REQUEST.

(3) Always included, although optional.

(4) Phase 2 MS: Only included in case of synchronous handover,Phase 1 MS: Always included as required in GSM ETR 09.94.

(5) Used for Phase 1 monoband P-GSM MS or for Phase 2 monoband P-GSM or for Phase 2

monoband E-GSM MS when the assigned channel is hopping in the P-GSM band and theFrequency Channel Sequence, after time IE cannot encode all the hopping frequencies.

(6) Used in the two following cases: i) Used for Phase 1 monoband P-GSM MS or for Phase 2monoband P-GSM or for Phase 2 monoband E-GSM MS when the assigned channel is hopping inthe P-GSM band and this IE can encode all the hopping frequencies or ii) used for Phase 2 bibandMS when the assigned channel is hopping in the P-GSM band if it is the shortest way to encodethe hopping frequencies.

SUB PARAMETER DEFINITION 

MA length depends on the relative frequency span of the frequencies in the cell allocation frequencylist.

MA Ci:Mobile Allocation RF Channel i - the RF channels represented in the MA C i bit fields are those whichin the "Cell Channel Description" information element are coded with "1" in the CA ARFCN N bit fields.

MA Ci = CA ARFCN N(i) i = 1,2...NF

(NF = Number of Frequencies in the CA frequency list).

For a RF channel belonging to the Mobile Allocation the MA C i bit is coded with a "1", for a RFchannel not belonging to the Mobile Allocation, the MA C i bit is coded with a "0".If NF mod 8 <> 0then bits NF to 8n in octet 3 must be coded with a "0" in each.

PARAMETER ORIGIN - ACTION ON PARAMETER 

The parameter is transparent for the BTS when received from the BSC.

At the BSC site the following actions have to be performed

T1': binary representation of (FN div 1326) mod 32T3: " " FN mod 51T2: " " FN mod 26

FN mod 42432 = 51 x ((T3 - T2) mod 26) + T3 + 51 x 26 x T1'

In case the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message conveys a downlink TBF establishment, the RA bitsare set to 101xxxxx to avoid that a MS considers the message as an answer to a request sent on theRACH channel.

PARAMETER ORIGIN - ACTION ON PARAMETER

RA: This information comes from the MS in Channel Required message addressed by the BTS. It isused to allow the MS to recognise its own request among those sent by the BSC at the same time.

T1', T3, T2 are also stored from Channel Required message Time of arrival (in terms of FrameNumber) of the Access Burst given by the BTS in the Channel Required message.

SUB PARAMETER DEFINITION

MA length depends on the number of frequencies in the cell allocation frequency list ( up to 4 for 32frequencies ).

MA Ci : Mobile Allocation RF channel i - the RF channels represented in the MA C i bit

fields are those which in the cell channel description information element arecoded with "1" in the CA ARFCN N bit fields.

MA Ci = CA ARFCN N(i) i = 1,2...NF

(NF = Number of Frequencies in the CA frequency list).

For a RF channel belonging to the Mobile Allocation the MA Ci bit is coded with a"1", for a RF channel not belonging to the Mobile Allocation, the MA C bit is coded with a "0".

PARAMETER ORIGIN - ACTION ON PARAMETER

The parameter is transparent for the BTS when received from the BSC.Note: mandatory if Frequency Hopping system in used, otherwise the length is 0.

measurement period.0 DTX was not used1 DTX was used

RXLEV-FULL-SERVING CELL and RXLEV-SUB-SERVING CELL

Received signal strength on serving cell measured respectively on all slots and on a subsetof slots. It is coded as the binary representation of a value N (refer to GSM TS 05.08).The range is 0 to 63.

MEAS-VALID : This bit indicates if the measurement results for the dedicated channelare valid or not.0 the measurement results are valid.

1 the measurement results are not valid.

3G-BA-USED : The value of the 3G-BA-IND field of the neighbour cells description informationelement or elements defining the 3G Neighbour Cell list used for the coding of 3G BCCH-FREQ-NCELL fields. Range 0 to 1.

RXQUAL FULL-SERVING-CELLRXQUAL SUB-SERVING-CELL

Received signal quality on serving cell, measured respectively on all slots and on a subset of the slots. The range is 0 to 7.

NO-CELL M : Number of neighbouring cell measurements.

FORMAT-ID : Format identifier.

F0 : Frequency 0 indicator. Coded 0 if ARFCN 0 is not a member of the set. Coded 1 if ARFCN 0 is a member of the set.

ORIG-ARFCN : This field encodes the ARFCN of one frequency belonging to the set. This value isalso used as the origin of the bit map to generate all the other frequencies.

RRFCN N : Relative radio frequency channel number N- For an RF channel with ARFCN = (ORIG-ARFCN + N) mod 1024 belonging to the set,

then RRFCN N bit is coded as '1'.-

For an RF channel with ARFCN = (ORIG-ARFCN + N) mod 1024 not belonging to the set,then RRFCN N bit is coded as '0'.

W : Each non null W(k) allows to compute, together with some previous W(i) the ARFCNF(k) of a frequency in the set (see 3GPP TS 44.018 for computation formulas).

DEFINITIONIf UTRAN FDD cell reselection is enabled and FDD UTRAN frequencies are declared in theBSC, this parameter contains optional information on UTRAN cells to be monitored by the MS

in the cell. Otherwise, it consists of spare bits only and is used to allow the introduction of newinformation on the BCCH in later phases.

BIT DESCRIPTION

1) If one UARFCN frequency is present in SI2ter instance, the SI2ter Rest Octet IE is filled as follows:

Note: If the SI2ter message describes 3G neighbour cells, the last SI 2ter instance always containsthe 3G measurement parameters description. The preceding SI 2ter instances provide the MS  with the UARFCN frequency description. Thus, if there are n UARFCN frequencies in the

FDD_ARFCN_LIST given by the OMC, the number of SI 2ter instances is n + 1.

2) If the 3G measurement parameters are described in the SI2ter instance, the SI 2ter Rest Octet IE isfilled as follows:

3BK 11203 0111 DSZZA 403/ 563 

SUB PARAMETER DEFINITION

POWER OFFSET : Not supported ( POI set to "L" ).

2TI : Set by O&M.

ECSC : Early Sending is explicitly accepted ( always set to "H" ).

WHERE : the WHERE field is not contained, as SYSTEM INFORMATION 9 is not

broadcast.

PI, CELL_RESELECT_PARAM_IND 

0: C2 parameters not present.1: C2 parameters are present.

PI is used by the mobile station to determine if the C2 parameters which are, CBQ,CELL_RESELECT_OFFSET, TEMPORARY_OFFSET and PENALTY_TIME are beingbroadcast by the network in this message.

CBQ, CELL_BAR_QUALIFY

CELL_BAR_QUALIFY is used by the network to control mobile station cell selection andreselection. The use and coding of this parameter is defined in 3GPP TS 05.08.

CELL_RESELECT_OFFSET 

CELL_RESELECT_OFFSET is coded as the binary representation of the"CELL_RESELECT_OFFSET" in 3GPP TS 05.08. It is a value used by the mobile station toapply a positive or negative offset to the value of C2 as defined in 3GPP TS 03.22 and 3GPPTS 05.08.

TEMPORARY_OFFSET 

The TEMPORARY_OFFSET field is coded as the binary representation of the"TEMPORARY_OFFSET" in 3GPP TS 05.08. It is used by the mobile station as part of itscalculation of C2 for the cell reselection process as described in 3GPP TS 05.08. It is used to

apply a negative offset to C2 for the duration of PENALTY_TIME.

PENALTY_TIME 

The PENALTY_TIME is coded as the binary representation of the "PENALTY_TIME" in 3GPPTS 05.08. It defines the length of time for which TEMPORARY_OFFSET is active. The usageof PENALTY_TIME is described in 3GPP TS 03.22 and 3GPP TS 05.08.

GPRS  Indicator: The GPRS Indicator contains RA Colour and SI13_Position fields. If the GPRSIndicator is contained in the SI 3 REST OCTETS, it indicates that GPRS is supported in thecell:

RA Colour  : Routing area color of the cell set by O&M

SI13_Position :0 SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 13 message is sent on BCCH Norm

1 SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 13 message is sent on BCCH Ext

3G ECSR: 3G Early Classmark Sending Restriction: always set to either  ‘L’: (Neither UTRAN nor cdma2000 classmark change message shall be sent with the Early classmark sending) or ‘H’(The sending of UTRAN and CDMA2000 Classmark Sending messages is controlled bythe Early Classmark Sending Control parameter) according to the O&M parameter EN_3G_HO.

SI2quater Indicator : The SI2quater Indicator contains the SI2quater_Position field. It is always setto “Low” (i.e. SI2quater Indicator field is not present), indicating that SI 2quater message is notbroadcast.

SUB PARAMETER DEFINITION

MA length depends on the relative frequency span of the frequencies in the cell allocation frequencylist.

MA Ci: Mobile Allocation RF channel i - the RF channels represented in the MA Ci bit fields arethose which in the cell channel description information element are coded with "1" in the CA

ARFCN N bit fields.

MA Ci = CA ARFCN N(i) i = 1,2...NF(NF = Number of Frequencies in the CA frequency list).

For a RF channel belonging to the Mobile Allocation the MA Ci bit is coded with a "1",for a RF channel not belonging to the Mobile Allocation, the MA C bit is coded with a "0".

PARAMETER ORIGIN - ACTION ON PARAMETER

The parameter is transparent for the BTS when received from the BSC.

Note: Conditional message, if Frequency Hopping system is used, then IE is present else not.

BA-IND, BCCH allocation sequence number indication (octet 2). Range 0 to 1The BA-IND is needed to allow the network to discriminate measurements results related to different

BAs (e.g. BA(BCCH) and BA(SACCH)) sent to the MS.Information from the last received neighbour cell description in SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE5/5bis/5ter is necessary for the mobile station to interpret <neighbour information>. If <BA ind> isdifferent from the last received BA IND value indicated in SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 5/5bis/5ter,<neighbour information> cannot be interpreted by the mobile station.

6.54.3 First frequency

It specifies a first frequency number n+1 where n is 0<= n <= 31.

6.55.2 BCCH_CHANGE_MARK

TYPE: M 

DEFINITION

This field indicates the status of the information on BCCH. The value of this field may be changed

 when information on BCCH is changed, see 3GPP TS 44.060.

BIT DESCRIPTION

SUB PARAMETER DEFINITION

PARAMETER ORIGIN - ACTION ON PARAMETER

The value of this field shall be increased by 1 each time the information content is changed on BCCH,but shall not be incremented when SI 13 only is modified.

6.55.3 SI_CHANGE_FIELD

TYPE: M 

DEFINITION

SI_CHANGE_FIELD value indicates which SI among type 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 (, 9) has changed at the lastBCCH_CHANGE_MARK indication. Range 0 to 15:

BIT DESCRIPTION

0 Update of unspecified SI message or SI messages: this is used in case of update of several different SI types (e.g. SI 16 & SI 17 modifications when LSA_IDs areconfigured in the cell)

1 Update of SI 1 message2 Update of SI 2, SI 2bis or SI 2ter message3 Update of SI 3, SI 4, SI 7 or SI 8 message4 Update of SI 9 message (not used, since SI 9 is not supported)5 Update of SI18 or SI20 message (not used, since SI 18 and SI 20 are not supported)6 Update of SI19 message(not used, since SI 19 is not supported)

All other values shall be interpreted as 'update of unknown SI message type'.

SUB PARAMETER DEFINITION

PARAMETER ORIGIN - ACTION ON PARAMETER

Upon changes of the contents of the RACH Control Parameters information element alone, it would besufficient that the SI_CHANGE_FIELD parameter indicates only one of the SI message containing theRACH Control Parameters (e.g. SI 1). But, in practice, the BSC only increments theBCCH_CHANGE_MARK value and does not update the SI_CHANGE_FIELD parameter. So the MS will get the last updated SI message(s) once more.

When there is no PBCCH configured in the cell, the BSC shall notify the MFS of anyBCCH_CHANGE_MARK modification with the new SI_CHANGE_FIELD value.
