GSM Channel Multiplexing

LAPDm on radio interface

  • (^) In LAPDm the use of flags is avoided.
  • (^) LAPDm maximum length is 21 octets of information. It makes use of “more” bit to distinguish last frame of a message.
  • (^) No frame check sequence (CRC) for LAPDm, it uses the error detecting performance of the transmission coding scheme offered by the physical layer
ADDRESS CONTROL INFORMATION 0-21 OCTETS
SAPI
N(S) N(R)

LAPDm Message structure

Protocols involved in the A-bis interface

  • (^) Level 1- PCM transmission (E1 or T1)
    • (^) Speech encoded at 16kbit/s and sub multiplexed in 64kbit/s time slots.
    • (^) Data which rate is adapted and synchronized.
  • (^) Level 2 - LAPD protocol, standard HDLC
    • (^) Radio Signaling Link (RSL)
    • (^) Operation and Maintenance Link (OML).
  • (^) Level 3 - Application Protocol
    • (^) Radio Subsystem Management (RSM)
    • Operation and Maintenance procedure (OAM)

Presentation of A-bis Interface

  • (^) Messages exchanges between the BTS and BSC.
    • Traffic exchanges
    • (^) Signaling exchanges
  • (^) Physical access between BTS and BSC is PCM digital links of E1(32) or T1(24) TS at 64kbit/s.
  • (^) Speech:
    • Conveyed in timeslots at 4X16 kbit/s
  • (^) Data:
    • Conveyed in timeslots of 4X16 kbit/s. The initial user rate, which may be

300, 1200, … is adjusted to 16 kbit/s

FLAG ADRESS CONTROL INFORMATION 0 – 260 OCT FCS FLAG
N(S) N(R)

LAPD message structure SAPI TEI

SAPI (Service access point identifier), 6-bits C/R (Command/Response) bit indicates if the frame is a command or a response EA0 (Address Extension) bit indicates whether this is the final octet of the address or not TEI (Terminal Endpoint Identifier) 7-bit device identifier EA1 (Address Extension) bit, same as EA Control (2 octets) - The frame level control field indicates the frame type (Information, Supervisory, or Unnumbered) and sequence numbers (N(r) and N(s)) as required. Information – Layer 3 protocol information and User data CRC (2 octets) - Cyclic Redundancy Check is a low-level test for bit errors on the user data. Flag (1 octet) - This is always 7E 16 (0111 1110 2 )
