GSM system signaling model adopts the lowest

three layer of OSI seven layer protocol model, from low to

high:

Application layer

Link layer/Network layer

Physical layer


The physical layer provides error protection transmission. It defines t

he electric parameters of transmission.

In ZTE-GSM digital mobile communication systems, The physical lay

er of Um interface between MS and BTS is Radio link. Abis interface

physical layer adopts 75-ohm coaxial cable or 120-ohm symmetrical

twisted pair whose rate is 2Mbit/s.

Physical Layer


Data Link Layer

The data link layer major functions: frame transmission 、 error-

free transmission and realize end-to-end bits transfer between t

wo connective entities. Open 、 maintenance and close the co

nnection of two connective entities.

The link layer protocol used by the GSM system at the radio int

erface is the LAPDm protocol (Dm channel link access procedu

re). The data link layer of Abis interface between BTS and BSC

is LAPD (D channel link access procedure).


Application Layer

Application Layer

CM MM RR

CC SS SMS


Radio Resources (RR) management handles the establishment, maint

enance and release of physical channels. Its major functions are perfor

med by BSC. Part of functions are performed by BTS.

Mobility Management (MM) deals with the mobile station’s register and

the identify of the mobile subscriber, The function are performed by MS

C.

The CM Layer is composed of three functional entities: Call Control (C

C), deals with the functions to establish 、 maintenance and release th

e call ； Short Message Service support (SMS) and Supplementary Se

rvice support (SS).

LAPDm frame format

The address field contains the service access point

identifier (SAPI).

SAPI = 0 represents the signaling link

SAPI = 3 represents the short message link

In the control field,

N (S) represents the sending serial number

N (R) represents the receiving serial numberAddress Control Information

SAPI N(S) N(R)


Operation mode

Acknowledged mode: Requires the confirmation from the

receiver. This mode provides a whole set of control

mechanism for error recovering and flow control, the

establishment mechanism and release mechanism for

multi-frame operations.

Unacknowledged mode: The receiver is not required to

send a confirmation upon reception of a UI frame. This

operation mode does not provide flow control or error

recovering mechanism.
