`
`Scope
`1
`This ETSI TS provides the overall description for lower-layer functions of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
`radio interface (Um).
`
`The overall description provides the following information:
`
`- The services offered to higher-layer functions,
`
`- The distribution of required functions into functional groups,
`
`- A definition of the capabilities of each functional group and their possible distribution in the network equipment,
`
`- Service primitives for each functional group, including a detailed description of what services and information
`flows are to be provided, and
`
`- A model of operation for information flows within and between the functions.
`
`This specification is applicable to the following GPRS Um functional layers:
`
`- Radio Link Control functions,
`
`- Medium Access Control functions, and
`
`- Physical Link Control functions.
`
`The overall GPRS logical architecture and the GPRS functional layers above the Radio Link Control and Medium
`Access Control layer are described in GSM 03.60 2.This document describes the information transfer and control
`functions to be used across the radio (Um) interface for communication between the MS and the Network. Functions
`specific to other interfaces are described in GSM 03.60 2.

`
`Definitions
`
`NOTE: The text in this subclause is informative. The normative text is in GSM 05.02 4. Where there is a
`conflict between these descriptions, the normative text has precedence.
`
`In addition to the definitions in 02.60 and 03.60 the following definition applies:
`
`Half Duplex MS: The half duplex MS is a multislot class type 1 MS (i.e., class 1 to 12) with the added capability of
`also being able to perform the half duplex GPRS procedures. The half duplex MS may operate using the GPRS
`procedures appropriate for a multislot class type 1 MS or it may operate using the half duplex GPRS procedures. The
`half duplex capability of the MS is signalled to the network in all resource allocation request messages and in the page
`response.
`
`The half duplex GPRS procedures consist of the half duplex mobile originated packet transfer procedure and the half
`duplex mobile terminated packet transfer procedure. The mobile originated packet transfer procedure uses the fixed
`allocation mechanism (see subclause 6.6.4.4.2.2.). The half duplex mobile terminated packet transfer procedure uses the
`Mobile Terminated Packet Transfer Procedure (see subclause 6.6.4.6.)
`
`Support of the half duplex GPRS procedures in the network is optional.
`
`Packet data logical channels
`4
`NOTE: The text in this clause is informative. The normative text is in GSM 05.02 4. Where there is a conflict
`between these descriptions, the normative text has precedence.
`
`4.1
`
`General
`
`This subclause describes the packet data logical channels that are supported by the radio subsystem. The packet data
`logical channels are mapped onto the physical channels that are dedicated to packet data.
`
`The physical channel dedicated to packet data traffic is called a Packet Data Channel (PDCH).
`
`4.2
`
`Packet Common Control Channel (PCCCH)
`
`PCCCH comprises logical channels for common control signalling used for packet data as described in the following
`subclauses.

`
`GSM 03 64 V6.0.0 (1998-04)
`
`4.2.1
`
`Packet Random Access Channel (PRACH) - uplink only
`
`PRACH is used by MSs to initiate uplink transfer, e.g., for sending data or Paging Response. The access burst is used to
`obtain the Timing Advance (TA).
`
`4.2.2
`
`Packet Paging Channel (PPCH) - downlink only
`
`PPCH is used to page an MS prior to downlink packet transfer. PPCH uses paging groups in order to allow usage of
`DRX mode. PPCH can be used for paging of both circuit switched and packet data services. The paging for circuit
`switched services is applicable for class A and B GPRS MSs. Additionally, an MS that is currently involved in packet
`transfer, can be paged for circuit switched services on PACCH(see subclause 4.4.2).
`
`4.2.3
`
`Packet Access Grant Channel (PAGCH) - downlink only
`
`PAGCH is used in the packet transfer establishment phase to send resource assignment to an MS prior to packet transfer.
`Additionally, resource assignment for a downlink packet transfer can be sent on PACCH (see subclause 4.4.2.) if the MS
`is currently involved in a packet transfer.
`
`4.2.4
`
`Packet Notification Channel (PNCH) - downlink only
`
`PNCH is used to send a PTM-M (Point To Multipoint - Multicast) notification to a group of MSs prior to a PTM-M
`packet transfer. The notification has the form of a resource assignment for the packet transfer.
`
`DRX mode shall be provided for monitoring PNCH. Furthermore, a “PTM-M new message” indicator may optionally
`be sent on all individual paging channels to inform MSs interested in PTM-M when they need to listen to PNCH.
`
`4.3
`
`Packet Broadcast Control Channel (PBCCH) - downlink
`only
`
`PBCCH broadcasts packet data specific System Information. If PBCCH is not allocated, the packet data specific system
`information is broadcast on BCCH.
`
`4.4
`
`Packet Traffic Channels
`
`4.4.1
`
`Packet Data Traffic Channel (PDTCH)
`
`PDTCH is a channel allocated for data transfer. It is temporarily dedicated to one MS or to a group of MSs in the
`PTM-M case. In the multislot operation, one MS may use multiple PDTCHs in parallel for individual packet transfer.
`
`4.4.2
`
`Packet Associated Control Channel (PACCH)
`
`PACCH conveys signalling information related to a given MS. The signalling information includes e.g.
`acknowledgements and Power Control information. PACCH carries also resource assignment and reassignment
`messages, comprising the assignment of a capacity for PDTCH(s) and for further occurrences of PACCH. One PACCH
`is associated to one or several PDTCHs that are concurrently assigned to one MS.

`
`General
`
`Different packet data logical channels can occur on the same physical channel (i.e. PDCH). The sharing of the physical
`channel is based on blocks of 4 consecutive bursts. The mapping in frequency of PDCH on to the physical channel shall
`be as defined in GSM 05.02.
`
`On PRACH, access bursts are used. On all other packet data logical channels, radio blocks comprising 4 normal bursts
`are used. The only exception is some messages
