The present document describes in general terms the Link Access Procedures on the Dm channel, LAPDm. The application of this protocol to other channel types is for further study. Details are provided in 3GPP TS 44.006. The purpose of LAPDm is to convey information between layer 3 entities across the GSM PLMN radio interface (MS to network interface) using the Dm channel. NOTE 1: The term Dm channel is used for convenience to designate the collection of all the various signalling channels required in the GSM system. See also 3GPP TS 44.003. The definition of LAPDm is based on the principles and terminology of: ‑ ITU-T Recommendations X.200 and X.210: the reference model for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI); ‑ ITU-T Recommendations Q.920 and Q.921: the specification of LAPD for the user‑network interface in ISDN; ‑ ITU-T Recommendation X.25 LAPB: user‑network interface for packet mode terminals; and ‑ ISO/IEC 3309 and ISO 4335: High‑level Data Link Control (HDLC) standards for frame structure and elements of procedures. LAPDm is a protocol that operates at the data link layer of the OSI architecture. The relationship between the data link layer and other protocol layers is defined below. NOTE 2: The interface between the mobile station and external terminal equipment/terminal adapters is defined in the Technical Specifications of the GSM 07‑series. NOTE 3: The physical layer on the radio interface is defined in 3GPP TS 44.004 and layer 3 is defined in 3GPP TS 24.007, 3GPP TS 44.018, 3GPP TS 24.010 and 3GPP TS 24.011. Reference should be made to these Technical Specifications for the complete definitions of the protocols and procedures across the GSM PLMN radio interface. NOTE 4: The term "data link layer" is used in the main text of the present document. However, mainly in figures and tables, the terms "layer 2" and "L2" are used abbreviations. Furthermore, in accordance with 3GPP TS 24.007 and 3GPP TS 44.018 the term "layer 3" is used to indicate the layer above the data link layer. LAPDm is independent of the transmission bit rate. It requires physical channels with characteristics as defined in 3GPP TS 44.003. Clause 2 below describes basic concepts used in the present document and 3GPP TS 44.006. Clause 3 gives an overview description of LAPDm functions and procedures. Clause 4 summarizes the services that the data link layer provides to layer 3 and the services that the data link layer requires from the physical layer. Clause 5 provides an overview of the data link layer structure.

The present document specifies measurable performance requirements for signalling aspects of Mobile Stations (MS)s. To allow implementation flexibility it has been chosen to specify requirements on the whole Mobile Station rather than to specify requirements on each "OSI layer". As a consequence the performance requirements do not fit conveniently in specifications such as 3GPP TS 24.008 [4] and 3GPP TS 44.018 [4a] (layer 3 only) or 3GPP TS 44.006 [3] (layer 2 only). The main aim of the present document is to provide the justification for testing of requirements that are not included in other GSM specifications. Where specific requirements are included in other GSM specifications they are not duplicated here. MSs have to perform a wide variety of functions. As a consequence most performance measurements have to be made under a set of defined conditions: where necessary, these are included in the present document. Where necessary certain assumptions are made about the interaction times between the mobile equipment and the SIM. If the (test) SIM does not respond within the assumed time then appropriate allowances shall be made. Additionally, it is intended that the present document should contain sufficient requirements to enable some undefined network timers in 3GPP TS 24.008 [4] and 3GPP TS 44.018 [4a] to be calculated.

The present document specifies for Mobile Stations (MS), for the digital cellular communications system and Personal Communication Systems (PCS) operating in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz band (GSM900 and DCS1800), standardized by 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), those ME functions which are required for conformance testing purposes only. However, except for the Electrical Man Machine Interface (EMMI) and the Multi-slot TCH Loops, they are required for every mobile station. For conformance tests, functions are activated via the radio interface, test SIM or dedicated pins. These functions must be capable of being activated when a test SIM is present but must not function with any other (e.g. network) SIM present except where otherwise stated within the present document. In this state, the MS must be able to perform all functions specified in the present document; in addition however, the special conformance testing functions must be operational. The special conformance testing functions of the ME are enabled by use of a dedicated Subscriber Identity Module (test SIM, see 3GPP TS 51.010-1 Annex 4). SIM, in general, is described in 3GPP TS 51.011. The ME recognizes the test SIM by the Administrative Data Field. The present document applies to the public land mobile radio service in the GSM900 and DCS1800 systems, using constant envelope modulation and operating on radio frequencies in the 900 and 1800 MHz bands respectively with a channel separation of 200 kHz and carrying 8 full rate channels or 16 half rate channels per carrier according to the TDMA principle. The present document is part of the 3GPP TS series of technical specifications. The present document neither replaces any of the other GSM technical specifications or GSM related TS, nor is it created to provide full understanding of (or parts of) the GSM900 and DCS1800 systems.

Mobile Station - Serving GPRS Support Node (MS-SGSN); Logical Link Control (LLC) Layer Specification
TS
18.0.0
C1
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/44_series/44.064/44064-i00.zip
The present document defines the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer protocol to be used for packet data transfer between the Mobile Station (MS) and Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN). It defines the frame structure, elements of procedure, format of fields, and procedures for the proper operation of the logical link control layer. It is based on ideas contained in IS-130 [21], ISO 3309 [16], ISO 4335 [17], and ISO 7809 [18, 19, 20] (HDLC of ISO), as well ITU-T Q.920 [13] and Q.921 [14] (LAPD). The concepts, the overview description of LLC layer functions and procedures, and the relationship with other Technical Specifications are described in general terms in 3GPP TS 23.060 [5]. LLC spans from the Mobile Station (MS) to the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN). LLC is intended for use with both acknowledged and unacknowledged data transfer. The frame formats defined for LLC are based on those defined for LAPD and RLP. However, there are important differences between LLC and other protocols, in particular with regard to frame delimitation methods and transparency mechanisms. These differences are necessary for independence from the radio path. The LLC procedures are modelled upon the concepts of HDLC as outlined in ISO 4335. Data sequence integrity between the data source and data sink is effected by means of a cyclic numbering scheme. An independent numbering scheme is used for each logical data link, as identified by the a data link connection identifier. LLC supports two modes of operation: - Unacknowledged peer-to-peer operation: A logical link entity may initiate transmissions to a peer entity without prior establishment of a logical connection with the peer entity. LLC does not guarantee in-order delivery. LLC can detect errors in a received frame, and, depending on whether the frame is sent in protected mode or not, either discard or deliver the erroneous frame. No error recovery procedures are defined at the LLC layer. Higher-layer protocols can be used to provide reliability, if needed. This mode of operation is known as Asynchronous Disconnected Mode (ADM). - Acknowledged peer-to-peer operation: A balanced data link involves two participating entities, and each entity assumes responsibility for the organisation of its data flow and for error recovery procedures associated with the transmissions that it originates. Each entity operates as both a data source and data sink in a balanced link, allowing information to flow in both directions. This mode of operation is known as Asynchronous Balanced Mode (ABM), and provides a reliable service with in-order delivery. In unacknowledged operation, LLC can provide integrity protection. The present document is organised as follows: - An overview of the LLC layer functions is given in clause 4. - The frame structure for peer-to-peer communication is given in clause 5. - The elements of procedure and formats of fields are given in clause 6. - The elements of layer-to-layer communication are contained in clause 7. - The details of the peer-to-peer ABM procedures are given in clause 8. - The details of LLC frame ciphering are given in annex A. - The details of the TOM protocol layer are contained in annex B. - An overview of the LLC layer states is provided in annex C.

https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/44_series/44.065/44065-i00.zip
The present document provides the description of the Subnetwork Dependent Convergence Protocol (SNDCP) for the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). The user of the services provided by SNDCP is a packet data protocol (PDP) at the mobile Station (MS) or the Relay at the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN). Additionally, a control entity, e.g. AT command interpreter, may be an SNDCP user. SNDCP uses the services provided by the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer 4 and the Session Management (SM) sub-layer 2. The main functions of SNDCP are: - Multiplexing of several PDPs. - Compression / decompression of user data. - Compression / decompression of protocol control information. - Segmentation of a network protocol data unit (N‑PDU) into Logical Link Control Protocol Data Units (LL‑PDUs) and re-assembly of LL‑PDUs into an N‑PDU. 3GPP TS 44.065 is applicable to GPRS MS and SGSN.

This Technical Report provides background information, motivations, concepts and requirements regarding an extended Network Assisted Cell Change (NACC) feature for external cell change support. Cell change between GERAN and UTRAN cells is outside the scope of this report, although consideration has been taken in order to allow an easier extensibility to that case. The extension is based on the Release 4 version of the NACC feature where the mobile station is only supported by the NACC when performing internal cell re-selection, i.e. within a BSC. The extension of the feature is for GERAN just affecting BSS and for the core network the SGSN and signalling links between these network nodes. To support cell changes between GERAN and UTRAN, also the Um and the Uu interfaces are affected. The evolved Release 4 NACC proposal as described in this TR provides the basis for the detailed Stage 2 and stage 3 specification work. The feature will be developed in a phased approach and a longer-term vision is presented in the report. The focus of the TR is to: - Define the requirements on different nodes - Specify the requirements for the interfaces - Propose a plan for the work item project - Evaluation of what does and does not need to be standardised
