General
i) the traffic channels (TCH's); ii) the control channels.
The radio subsystem is required to support a certain number of logical channels that can be separated into two categories as defined in GSM 04.03:
More information is given about these logical channels in clause 3 which also defines a number of special channels used by the radio sub-system. Clause 4 of the present document describes the physical resource available to the radio sub-system, clause 5 defines physical channels based on that resource and clause 6 specifies how the logical channels shall be mapped onto physical channels. Figure 1 depicts this process.

Logical channels
General
This clause describes the logical channels that are supported by the radio subsystem.
3.2
3.2.1
Traffic channels
General
Traffic channels (TCH's) are intended to carry either encoded speech or user data in circuit switched mode. Two general forms of traffic channel are defined: i) Full rate traffic channel (TCH/F). This channel carries information at a gross rate of 22,8 kbit/s. ii) Half rate traffic channel (TCH/H). This channel carries information at a gross rate of 11,4 kbit/s. iii) Enhanced circuit switched full rate traffic channel (E-TCH/F). This channel carries information at a gross rate of 69,6 kbit/s including the stealing symbols. Packet data traffic channels (PDTCH's) are intended to carry user data in packet switched mode. For the purpose of the present document, any reference to traffic channel does not apply to PDTCH unless explicitly stated. All traffic channels are bi-directional unless otherwise stated. Unidirectional downlink full rate channels, TCH/FD, are defined as the downlink part of the corresponding TCH/F. Multiple full rate channels can be allocated to the same MS. This is referred to as multislot configurations, which is defined in clause 6.4.2.1. Multiple packet data traffic channels can be allocated to the same MS. This is referred to as multislot packet configurations, as defined in clause 6.4.2.2. A combination of a half rate traffic channel and a half rate packet data traffic channel on the same basic physical channel can be allocated to the same MS as defined in clause 6.4.2.3.
ETSI
ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
A combination of a traffic channel and one or more full rate packet data traffic channels can be allocated to the same MS. The specific traffic channels available in the categories of speech and user data are defined in the clauses following.
3.2.2
Speech traffic channels
The following traffic channels are defined to carry encoded speech: i) full rate traffic channel for speech (TCH/FS); ii) half rate traffic channel for speech (TCH/HS); iii) enhanced full rate traffic channel for speech (TCH/EFS); iv) adaptive full rate traffic channel for speech (TCH/AFS); v) adaptive half rate traffic channel for speech (TCH/AHS).
3.2.3
i) ii)
Circuit switched data traffic channels

full rate traffic channel for 9,6 kbit/s user data (TCH/F9.6); full rate traffic channel for 4,8 kbit/s user data (TCH/F4.8);
The following traffic channels are defined to carry user data:
iii) half rate traffic channel for 4,8 kbit/s user data (TCH/H4.8); iv) half rate traffic channel for 2,4 kbit/s user data (TCH/H2.4); v) full rate traffic channel for 2,4 kbit/s user data (TCH/F2.4);
vi) full rate traffic channel for 14,4 kbit/s user data (TCH/F14.4); vii) enhanced circuit switched full rate traffic channel for 28,8 kbit/s user data (E-TCH/F28.8); viii) enhanced circuit switched full rate traffic channel for 32,0 kbit/s user data (E-TCH/F32.0); ix) enhanced circuit switched full rate traffic channel for 43.2 kbit/s user data (E-TCH/F43.2).
3.2.4
Packet data traffic channels (PDTCH)
A PDTCH/F corresponds to the resource allocated to a single MS on one physical channel for user data transmission. Due to the dynamic multiplexing onto the same physical channel of different logical channels (see clause 6.3.2), a PDTCH/F using GMSK modulation carries information at an instantaneous bit rate ranging from 0 to 22,8 kbit/s. A PDTCH/F using 8PSK modulation carries information (including stealing symbols) at an instantaneous bit rate ranging from 0 to 69,6 kbit/s. A PDTCH/H corresponds to the resource allocated to a single MS on half a physical channel for user data transmission. The maximum instantaneous bit rate for a PDTCH/H is half that for a PDTCH/F. All packet data traffic channels are uni-directional, either uplink (PDTCH/U), for a mobile originated packet transfer or downlink (PDTCH/D) for a mobile terminated packet transfer.
3.3
3.3.1
Control channels
General
Control channels are intended to carry signalling or synchronization data. Four categories of control channel are defined: broadcast, common, dedicated and CTS control channels. Specific channels within these categories are defined in the clauses following.
ETSI

ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
3.3.2
3.3.2.1
Broadcast channels
Frequency correction channels (FCCH and CFCCH)
The frequency correction channel carries information for frequency correction of the mobile station. It is required only for the operation of the radio sub-system. Different mapping is used for FCCH and COMPACT CFCCH (see clause 7).
3.3.2.2
Synchronization channels
The synchronization channel carries information for frame synchronization of the mobile station and identification of a base transceiver station. It is required only for the operation of the radio sub-system. Different channels are used for SCH and COMPACT CSCH.
3.3.2.2.1
Synchronization channel (SCH)
Specifically the synchronization channel (SCH) shall contain two encoded parameters: a) Base transceiver station identity code (BSIC): 6 bits (before channel coding) consists of 3 bits of PLMN colour code with range 0 to 7 and 3 bits of BS colour code with range 0 to 7 as defined in GSM 03.03. b) Reduced TDMA frame number (RFN): 19 bits (before channel coding) = T1 T2 T3 ' where T3 and FN = TDMA frame number as defined in clause 4.3.3. GSM 04.06 and GSM 04.08 specify the precise bit ordering, GSM 05.03 the channel coding of the above parameters and GSM 05.10 defines how the TDMA frame number can be calculated from T1, T2, and T3'. (6 bits) range 0 to 50 = FN mod 51 (11 bits) range 0 to 2047 = FN div ( 26 x 51) (5 bits) (3 bits) range 0 to 25 range 0 to 4 = FN mod 26 = (T3 - 1) div 10
3.3.2.2.2
COMPACT synchronization channel (CSCH)
The COMPACT packet synchronization channel CSCH shall contain two encoded parameters: a) Base transceiver station identity code (BSIC): 6 bits (before channel coding) consists of 3 bits of PLMN colour code with range 0 to 7 and 3 bits BS colour code with range 0 to 7 as defined in GSM 03.03. b) Reduced TDMA frame number (RFN): 19 bits (before channel coding) = R1 R2 TG (10 bits) range 0 to 1023 = FN div (51 x 52) (6 bits) (2 bits) range 0 to 50 range 0 to 3 = (FN div 52) mod 51
Reserved (1 bit) where FN = TDMA frame number as defined in clause 4.3.3 and TG = time group as defined in clause 4.3.4.
ETSI
11
ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
GSM 04.06 and GSM 04.08 specify the precise bit ordering, GSM 05.03 the channel coding of the above parameters and GSM 05.10 defines how the TDMA frame number can be calculated from R1 and R2.
3.3.2.3
Broadcast control channel (BCCH)
The broadcast control channel broadcasts general information on a base transceiver station per base transceiver station basis. Of the many parameters contained in the BCCH, the use of the following parameters, as defined in GSM 04.08 are referred to in clause 6.5: a) CCCH_CONF which indicates the organization of the common control channels: From this parameter, the number of common control channels (BS_CC_CHANS) and whether or not CCCH or SDCCH are combined (BS_CCCH_SDCCH_COMB = true or false) are derived as follows:
CCCH_CONF 000 001 010 100 110 BS_CC_CHANS 1 1 2 3 4 BS_CCCH_SDCCH_COMB false true false false false
b) BS_AG_BLKS_RES which indicates the number of blocks on each common control channel reserved for access grant messages: 3 bits (before channel coding) range 0 to 7. c) BS_PA_MFRMS which indicates the number of 51-multiframes between transmission of paging messages to mobiles of the same paging group: 3 bits (before channel coding) range 2 to 9. d) support of GPRS The BCCH shall indicate whether or not packet switched traffic is supported. If packet switched traffic is supported and if the PBCCH exists, then the BCCH shall broadcast the position of the packet data channel (PDCH), as defined in clause 6.3.2.1, carrying the PBCCH.
3.3.2.4
3.3.2.4.1
Packet Broadcast Control Channels

Packet Broadcast Control Channel (PBCCH)
The PBCCH broadcasts parameters used by the MS to access the network for packet transmission operation. In addition to those parameters the PBCCH reproduces the information transmitted on the BCCH to allow circuit switched operation, such that a MS in GPRS attached mode monitors the PBCCH only, if it exists. The existence of the PBCCH in the cell is indicated on the BCCH. In the absence of PBCCH, the BCCH shall be used to broadcast information for packet operation.
ETSI
12
ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
Of the many parameters contained in the PBCCH, the use of the following parameters, as defined in GSM 04.60 are referred to in clauses 6.5 and 6.3.2: a) BS_PBCCH_BLKS (1,...,4) indicates the number of blocks allocated to the PBCCH in the multiframe.

COMPACT Packet Broadcast Control Channel (CPBCCH)
The CPBCCH is a stand-alone packet control channel for COMPACT. The CPBCCH broadcasts parameters used by the MS to access the network for packet transmission operation. Of the many parameters contained in the CPBCCH, the use of the following parameters, as defined in GSM 04.60 are referred to in clauses 6.5 and 6.3.3: a) BS_PBCCH_BLKS (1,,4) indicates the number of blocks allocated to the CPBCCH in the multiframe. The position of the CPBCCH blocks is based on the ordered list as defined in clause 6.3.2.1. b) BS_PCC_CHANS indicates the number of radio frequency channels per cell carrying CPCCCHs including the radio frequency channel carrying the CPBCCH. c) BS_PAG_BLKS_RES indicates the number of blocks on each radio frequency channel carrying CPCCCH per multiframe where neither packet paging nor CPBCCH should appear. This number corresponds therefore to the number of blocks reserved for CPAGCH, CPNCH, PDTCH, and PACCH. The position of these blocks is based on the ordered list as defined in clause 6.3.2.1. BS_PAG_BLKS_RES cannot be greater than 8. d) BS_PRACH_BLKS indicates the number of blocks reserved in a fixed way to the CPRACH channel on any radio frequency channel carrying CPCCCH.

The CBCH, downlink only, is used to carry the short message service cell broadcast (SMSCB). The CBCH uses the same physical channel as the SDCCH.
3.3.6
CTS control channels
Four types of CTS control channels are defined:
3.3.6.1
CTS beacon channel (BCH)
The BCH is used to provide frequency and synchronization information in the downlink. It is made up of a pair of CTSBCH-SB (Synchronization burst) and CTSBCH-FB (Frequency correction burst). The CTSBCH-FB carries information for frequency correction of the mobile station. It is required only for the operation of the radio sub-system. The CTSBCH-SB carries signalling information and identification of a CTS-FP. Specifically the CTSBCH-SB shall contain five encoded parameters: a) status of the CTS-FP radio resources : 1 bit (before channel coding; b) flag indicating the presence of CTSPCH in the next 52-multiframe : 1 bit (before channel coding); c) flag indicating whether the CTS-FP is currently performing timeslot shifting on CTSBCH: 1 bit (before channel coding); d) CTS control channels (except CTSBCH) timeslot number for the next 52-multiframe (TNC): 3 bits (before channel coding); e) CTS-FP beacon identity (FPBI) : 19 bits (before channel coding), as defined in GSM 03.03. GSM 04.56 specifies the precise bit ordering and GSM 05.03 the channel coding of the above parameters.
3.3.6.2
CTS paging channel (CTSPCH)
Downlink only, used to broadcast information for paging.
3.3.6.3
CTS access request channel (CTSARCH)

4.1
The physical resource

General
The physical resource available to the radio sub-system is an allocation of part of the radio spectrum. This resource is partitioned both in frequency and time. Frequency is partitioned by radio frequency channels (RFCHs) divided into bands as defined in GSM 05.05. Time is partitioned by timeslots, TDMA frames, and (for COMPACT) time groups and 52-multiframe number as defined in clause 4.3 of the present document.
4.2
4.2.1
Radio frequency channels

Cell allocation and mobile allocation
GSM 05.05 defines radio frequency channels (RFCHs), and allocates numbers to all the radio frequency channels available to the system. Each cell is allocated a subset of these channels, defined as the cell allocation (CA). One radio frequency channel of the cell allocation shall be used to carry synchronization information and the BCCH, this shall be known as BCCH carrier. The subset of the cell allocation, allocated to a particular mobile, shall be known as the mobile allocation (MA). For COMPACT, one radio frequency channel of the cell allocation shall be used to carry synchronization information and the CPBCCH, this shall be known as the primary COMPACT carrier. All other radio frequency channels of the cell allocation shall be known as secondary COMPACT carriers.
4.2.2
Downlink and uplink
The downlink comprises radio frequency channels used in the base transceiver station to Mobile Station direction. The uplink comprises radio frequency channels used in the mobile station to base transceiver station direction.
4.3
4.3.1
Timeslots, TDMA frames, and time groups

General
A timeslot shall have a duration of 3/5 200 seconds ( 577 s). Eight timeslots shall form a TDMA frame ( 4,62 ms in duration). At the base transceiver station the TDMA frames on all of the radio frequency channels in the downlink shall be aligned. The same shall apply to the uplink (see GSM 05.10). At the base transceiver station the start of a TDMA frame on the uplink is delayed by the fixed period of 3 timeslots from the start of the TDMA frame on the downlink (see figure 2). At the mobile station this delay will be variable to allow adjustment for signal propagation delay. The process of adjusting this advance is known as adaptive frame alignment and is detailed in GSM 05.10. The staggering of TDMA frames used in the downlink and uplink is in order to allow the same timeslot number to be used in the downlink and uplink whilst avoiding the requirement for the mobile station to transmit and receive simultaneously. The period includes time for adaptive frame alignment, transceiver tuning and receive/transmit switching (see figure 4).
4.3.2
Timeslot number
The timeslots within a TDMA frame shall be numbered from 0 to 7 and a particular timeslot shall be referred to by its timeslot number (TN).
ETSI
16
ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
4.3.3
TDMA frame number
TDMA frames shall be numbered by a frame number (FN). The frame number shall be cyclic and shall have a range of 0 to FN_MAX where FN_MAX = (26 x 51 x 2048) -1 = 2715647 as defined in GSM 05.10. For COMPACT, FN_MAX = (52 x 51 x 1024) -1 = 2715647. The frame number shall be incremented at the end of each TDMA frame. The complete cycle of TDMA frame numbers from 0 to FN_MAX is defined as a hyperframe. A hyperframe consists of 2048 superframes where a superframe is defined as 26 x 51 TDMA frames. For COMPACT, a hyperframe consists of 1024 superframes where a superframe is defined as 52 x 51 TDMA frames. A 26-multiframe, comprising 26 TDMA frames, is used to support traffic and associated control channels and a 51- multiframe, comprising 51 TDMA frames, is used to support broadcast, common control and stand alone dedicated control (and their associated control) channels. Hence a superframe may be considered as 51 traffic/associated control multiframes or 26 broadcast/common control multiframes. A 52-multiframe, comprising two 26-multiframes, is used to support packet data traffic and control channels. The need for a hyperframe of a substantially longer period than a superframe arises from the requirements of the encryption process which uses FN as an input parameter.
4.3.4
Time group
Used for COMPACT, time groups shall be numbered from 0 to 3 and a particular time group shall be referred to by its time group number (TG) (see clause 3.3.2.2.2). At block B0 and frame number (FN) mod 208 = 0, time group numbers (TG) are associated with timeslot numbers (TN) as follows:
TG 0 1 2 3 1 3 5 7 TN
For COMPACT, a cell is assigned one time group number (TG) on a primary COMPACT carrier. This is known as the serving time group. Other cells may be assigned other time groups on the same carrier.

5.1
Physical channels
General
A physical channel uses a combination of frequency and time division multiplexing and is defined as a sequence of radio frequency channels and time slots. The complete definition of a particular physical channel consists of a description in the frequency domain, and a description in the time domain. The description in the frequency domain is addressed in clause 5.4; the description in the time domain is addressed in clause 5.5.
5.2
5.2.1
Bursts
General
A burst is a period of RF carrier which is modulated by a data stream. A burst therefore represents the physical content of a timeslot.
ETSI
17
ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
5.2.2
Types of burst and burst timing
A timeslot is divided into 156.,25 symbol periods. For GMSK modulation (see 05.04) a symbol is equivalent to a bit. A particular bit period within a timeslot is referenced by a bit number (BN), with the first bit period being numbered 0, and the last (1/4) bit period being numbered 156. For 8PSK modulation (see 05.04) one symbol corresponds to three bits. A particular bit period within a timeslot is referenced by a bit number (BN), with the first bit being numbered 0, and the last (3/4) bit being numbered 468. The bits are mapped to symbols in ascending order according to 05.04. In the clauses following the transmission timing of a burst within a timeslot is defined in terms of bit number. The bit with the lowest bit number is transmitted first. Different types of burst exist in the system. One characteristic of a burst is its useful duration. The present document, in the clauses following, defines full bursts of 147 symbols useful duration, and a short burst of 87 symbols useful duration. The useful part of a burst is defined as beginning from half way through symbol number 0. The definition of the useful part of a burst needs to be considered in conjunction with the requirements placed on the phase and amplitude characteristics of a burst as specified in GSM 05.04 and 05.05. The period between bursts appearing in successive timeslots is termed the guard period. Subclause 5.2.8 details constraints which relate to the guard period.

where the "training sequence bits" are defined as modulating bits with states as given in the following table according to the training sequence code, TSC. For broadcast and common control channels, the TSC must be equal to the BCC, as defined in GSM 03.03 and as described in this technical specification in clause 3.3.2. In networks supporting E-OTD Location services (see GSM 03.71 Annex C), the TSC shall be equal to the BCC for all normal bursts on BCCH frequencies. For COMPACT, for PDTCH/PACCH on primary and secondary carriers that are indicated in EXT_FREQUENCY_LIST by parameter INT_FREQUENCY and in INT_MEAS_CHAN_LIST (see clauses 10.1.5 and 10.2.3.2.2 of GSM 05.08), the TSCs should be equal to the BCC, as defined in GSM 03.03 and as described in this technical specification in clause 3.3.2, otherwise the accuracy of interference measurement reporting may be compromised.
NOTE:
For CTS control channels, the TSC shall be defined by the 3 LSBs (BN3, BN2, BN1) of the FPBI (specified in GSM 03.03).

5.2.8
Guard period
The guard period is provided because it is required for the MSs that transmission be attenuated for the period between bursts with the necessary ramp up and down occurring during the guard periods as defined in GSM 05.05. A base transceiver station is not required to have a capability to ramp down and up between adjacent bursts, but is required to have a capability to ramp down and up for non-used time-slots, as defined in GSM 05.05. In any case where the amplitude of transmission is ramped up and down, then by applying an appropriate modulation bit stream interference to other RF channels can be minimized.
5.3
Physical channels and bursts
The description of a physical channel will be made in terms of timeslots and TDMA frames and not in terms of bursts. This is because there is not a one to one mapping between a particular physical channel, and the use of a particular burst.
5.4
Radio frequency channel sequence
The radio frequency channel sequence is determined by a function that, in a given cell, with a given set of general parameters, (see clause 5.6.2), with a given timeslot number (TN), a given mobile radio frequency channel allocation (MA) and a given mobile allocation index offset (MAIO), maps the TDMA frame number (FN) to a radio frequency channel. In a given cell there is therefore, for a physical channel assigned to a particular mobile, a unique correspondence between radio frequency channel and TDMA frame number. The detailed hopping generation algorithm is given in clause 6.2.
5.5
Timeslot and TDMA frame sequence
A given physical channel shall always use the same timeslot number in every TDMA frame. Therefore a timeslot sequence is defined by: i) a timeslot number (TN); and ii) a TDMA frame number sequence. The detailed definitions of TDMA frame number sequences are given in clause 7. The physical channels where the TDMA frame number sequence is 0,1. . FN_MAX (where FN_MAX is defined in clause 4.3.3) are called "basic physical channels".

Parameters for channel definition and assignment

General
This clause describes the set of parameters necessary to describe fully the mapping of any logical channel onto a physical channel. These parameters may be divided into general parameters, that are characteristic of a particular base transceiver station, and specific parameters, that are characteristic of a given physical channel.
5.6.2
These are:
General parameters
i) the set of radio frequency channels used in the cell (CA), together with the identification of the BCCH carrier. ii) the TDMA frame number (FN), which can be derived from the reduced TDMA frame number (RFN) which is in the form T1, T2, T3', see 3.3.2. These parameters are broadcast (or derived from parameters broadcast) in the BCCH and SCH. For COMPACT, these are: i) the set of radio frequency channels used in the cell (CA), together with the identification of the COMPACT CPBCCH carrier (primary COMPACT carrier). ii) the TDMA frame number (FN), which can be derived from the reduced TDMA frame number (RFN) which is in the form R1 and R2, see 3.3.2. iii) the time group number (TG). These parameters are broadcast (or derived from parameters broadcast) in the COMPACT CPBCCH and CSCH.
5.6.3
Specific parameters
These parameters define a particular physical channel in a base transceiver station. They are: o) the training sequence Code (TSC); i) the timeslot number (TN); ii) the mobile radio frequency channel allocation (MA); iii) the mobile allocation index offset (MAIO); iv) the hopping sequence number (HSN); v) the type of logical channel; vi) the sub-channel number (SCN). The last two parameters allow the determination of the frame sequence.

Mapping of logical channels onto physical channels

General
The detailed mapping of logical channels onto physical channels is defined in the following clauses. Subclause 6.2 defines the mapping from TDMA frame number (FN) to radio frequency channel (RFCH). Subclause 6.3 defines the mapping of the physical channel onto TDMA frame number. Subclause 6.4 lists the permitted channel combinations and clause 6.5 defines the operation of channels and channel combinations.

Mapping in frequency of logical channels onto physical channels

General
The parameters used in the function which maps TDMA frame number onto radio frequency channel are defined in clause 6.2.2. The definition of the actual mapping function, or as it is termed, hopping sequence generation is given in clause 6.2.3. In CTS, the specific mapping in frequency depends on the start condition defined by the parameters given in clause 6.2.2. The hopping sequence generation for CTS is given in clause 6.2.3.
6.2.2
Parameters
The following parameters are required in the mapping from TDMA frame number to radio frequency channel for a given assigned channel. General parameters of the BTS, specific to one BTS, and broadcast in the BCCH and SCH: i) CA: Cell allocation of radio frequency channels. ii) FN: TDMA frame number, broadcast in the SCH, in form T1, T2, T3' (see clause 3.3.2). For COMPACT, FN is broadcast in the CSCH, in form R1, R2 (see clause 3.2.2). Specific parameters of the channel, defined in the channel assignment message: i) MA: Mobile allocation of radio frequency channels, defines the set of radio frequency channels to be used in the mobiles hopping sequence. The MA contains N radio frequency channels, where 1 N 64. For COMPACT, the reduced MA (see GSM 04.60) shall be used for a fixed amount of data blocks, see clause 6.2.4. ii) MAIO: Mobile allocation index offset.(0 to N-1, 6 bits). For COMPACT, MAIO_2 shall be used for the data blocks using the reduced MA. iii) HSN: Hopping sequence (generator) number (0 to 63, 6 bits). In CTS, the following parameters are required in the mapping to radio frequency channel for a CTS-FP and CTS-MS pair. They are given by the CTS-FP to the CTS-MS during the non-hopping access procedure : i) VA: the vector a defines the elements which are used from the shift register to generate the codeword. The vector a shall be randomly chosen upon up to 16 non-repeating integer elements where 0 ai < 16 and ai aj for i j. ii) VV: the elements of vector v are added modulo 2 to the codeword from the shift register. For vector v, up to 16 binary elements shall be chosen randomly. NOTE: The length of the vectors a and v is dependent on the number of frequencies used for the hopping and can be truncated according to the number of frequencies used (see vi) below).
iii) CSR: current shift register contents. In order that a CTS-MS is able to synchronize on a running hopping sequence the CTS-FP transmits the CSR. iv) TFHC1: value of counter TFHC1. v) TFHC2: value of counter TFHC2. vi) TFH carrier list (see GSM 05.56) : ordered list of frequencies, with 1st freq referenced by the frequency index 1, 2nd frequency referenced by the frequency index 2, etc. The number of frequencies in the TFH carrier list, NF shall be computed. The number of elements to be taken from the vectors a and v shall be determined by the function log2NF.
ETSI
24
ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
vii)VC: the vector c is the base sequence to map the codeword. It shall be randomly chosen upon NF non-repeating integer elements: c = {c0, c1, ... , cNF-1}, 0 ci < NF and ci cj for i j.
6.2.3
Hopping sequence generation
For a given set of parameters, the index to an absolute radio frequency channel number (ARFCN) within the mobile allocation (MAI from 0 to N-1, where MAI=0 represents the lowest absolute radio frequency channel number (ARFCN) in the mobile allocation, ARFCN is in the range 0 to 7023 and the frequency value can be determined according to GSM 05.05 sec 2 with n= ARFCN), is obtained with the following algorithm: if HSN = 0 (cyclic hopping) then: MAI, integer (0 .. N-1) : else: M, integer (0 .. 152) : S, integer (0 .. N-1) : M = T2 + RNTABLE((HSN xor T1R) + T3) M' = M modulo (2 ^ NBIN) T' = T3 modulo (2 ^ NBIN) if M' < N then: S = M' else: S = (M'+T') modulo N MAI, integer (0 .. N-1) : NOTE: where: T1R: time parameter T1, reduced modulo 64 (6 bits) T3: time parameter, from 0 to 50 (6 bits) T2: time parameter, from 0 to 25 (5 bits) NBIN: number of bits required to represent N = INTEGER(log2(N)+1) ^: raised to the power of xor: bit-wise exclusive or of 8 bit binary operands RNTABLE: Table of 114 integer numbers, defined below:

Due to the procedure used by the mobile for measurement reporting when DTX is used, the use of cyclic hopping where (N)mod 13 = 0 should be avoided.

ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
The hopping sequence generation algorithm is represented diagrammatically in figure 6. This algorithm applies also to COMPACT, whereby the parameters T1, T2 and T3 shall be calculated from FN. In CTS, the general structure of the hopping sequence generation algorithm is shown in figure 6a, with the example of vector a = (a0, a1, a2, a3) = (5, 8, 2, 11) and NF = 9. It consists of a 16 bit linear feedback shift register and two counters. The shift register in the CTS-FP shall be initialized with a random number which shall not be zero. The counter TFHC1 counts modulo NF the number of TDMA frames. The overflow of this counter causes a shift in the shift register. The counter TFHC2 counts modulo NF the number of shifts. The elements which are used from the shift register to generate the codeword are defined by the vector a. The codeword is built using a modulo 2 addition of these elements and the elements of vector v . Before mapping the codeword into a sequence, the value of the counter TFHC2 is added modulo NF. The mapping is done by a modulo NF addition to the base sequence c. This results in a sequence containing NF elements, each element representing one frequency index in the TFH list. The value of counter TFHC1 points to the current frequency index to use.
6.2.4
Specific cases
On the RFCH carrying a BCCH (C0), frequency hopping is not permitted on any timeslot supporting a BCCH according to table 3 of clause 7. A non-hopping radio frequency channel sequence is characterized by a mobile allocation consisting of only one radio frequency channel, i.e. with N=1, MAIO=0. In this instance sequence generation is unaffected by the value of the value HSN. For COMPACT, frequency hopping is not permitted on CPBCCH or CPCCCH for a specific amount of N_CCCH_NH blocks according to the ordered list described in clause 6.3.2.1. If CPCCCH is defined as frequency hopping, those blocks use MAI = MAIO. For COMPACT, on other frequency hopping channels, the reduced MA and MAIO_2 shall be used for a specific amount of N_CCCH_NH blocks according to the ordered list described in clause 6.3.2.1. For COMPACT, in case the optional information elements reduced MA and MAIO_2 are not present in the assignment message and the MA and MAIO information elements are present in the assignment message, then the MS shall hop in all allocated time slots according to the MA and MAIO.
6.2.5
Change in the frequency allocation of a base transceiver station
The consequence of adding or removing a number of radio frequency channels in a base transceiver station is a modification of the cell allocation (CA) and the mobile allocation (MA). In order to achieve this without disruption to mobile stations with currently assigned channels it is necessary to send a message to all mobiles with assigned channels. The message, as defined in 04.08, will contain a new cell allocation (if necessary), mobile allocation and a time (in the form of a TDMA frame number) at which the change is to occur. A new cell allocation may not be necessary if channels are only being removed, and not added.
6.2.6
Frequency assignment in CTS
The CTSBCH (CTSBCH-FB and CTSBCH-SB) shall always be mapped on the CTSBCH RF channel (designated as C0 in clause 7 table 8). The CTSPCH, CTSARCH and CTSAGCH shall be mapped on the predefined set of carriers called TFH carrier list (designated by C0... Cn in Clause 7 Table 8) by the CTS frequency hopping algorithm specified in clauses 6.2.2 and 6.2.3. However, the CTSARCH and CTSAGCH shall be mapped on the CTSBCH RF channel for the specific case of the non-hopping access procedure specified in GSM 04.56 ; the block TDMA frame mapping for these exceptions is specified in clause 7 table 8. The methods for the determination of the CTSBCH RF channel and the TFH carrier list are defined in GSM 05.56. The TCH, FACCH and SACCH used for a CTS dedicated connection shall always be mapped on the TFH carrier list (C0..Cn) by the CTS frequency hopping algorithm. However, one exception is specified in the case of the CTS enrolment and attachment of a CTS-MS (see GSM 04.56), where a non-hopping access procedure is used; in these particular cases, the dedicated connection shall be used in non-hopping mode and the TCH, FACCH and SACCH shall be mapped on the CTSBCH RF channel (C0).

Mapping in time of logical channels onto physical channels

Mapping in time of circuit switched logical channels onto physical channels
General
The mapping in time of circuit switched logical channels is defined in the tables of clause 7, which also defines the relationship of the air interface frames to the multiframe.
6.3.1.2
Key to the mapping table of clause 7
The following relates to the tables of clause 7. The columns headed: i) "Channel designation" gives the precise acronym for the channel to which the mapping applies. ii) "Sub-channel number" identifies the particular sub-channel being defined where a basic physical channel supports more than one channel of this type. iii) "Direction" defines whether the mapping given applies identically to downlink and uplink (D&U), or to downlink (D) or uplink (U) only. iv) "Allowable timeslots assignments" defines whether the channel can be supported on, or assigned to, any of the timeslots, or only on specific timeslots. v) "Allowable RF channel assignments" defines whether the channel can use any or all of the radio frequency channels in the cell allocation (CA), or only the BCCH carrier (C0). It should be noted that any allocated channel Cx within CA could be any radio frequency channel, and that no ordering of radio frequency channel number is implied. For example, allocated channel C0 need not have the lowest radio frequency channel number of the allocation. vi) "Burst type" defines which type of burst as defined in clause 5.2 is to be used for the physical channel. vii)"Repeat length in TDMA frames" defines how many TDMA frames occur before the mapping for the interleaved blocks repeats itself e.g. 51. viii) "Interleaved block TDMA frame mapping" defines, within the parentheses, the TDMA frames used by each interleaved block (e.g. 0..3). The numbers given equate to the TDMA frame number (FN) modulo the number of TDMA frames per repeat length; Therefore, the frame is utilized when: TDMA frame mapping number = (FN)mod repeat length given. Where there is more than one block shown, each block is given a separate designation e.g. B0, B1. Where diagonal interleaving is employed then all of the TDMA frames included in the block are given, and hence the same TDMA frame number can appear more than once (see GSM 05.03). Also, for E-TCH/F28.8, E-TCH/F32.0 and E-TCH/F43.2, the same frame number appears for the inband signalling message and for several interleaved blocks. It should be noted that the frame mapping for the SACCH/T channel differs according to the timeslot allocated in order to lower the peak processing requirements of the BSS.

Mapping of BCCH data
In order to facilitate the MS operation, it is necessary to transmit some System Information messages in defined multiframes and defined blocks within one multiframe, as follows (where TC = (FN DIV 51) mod (8)). Also for some System Information messages, the position where they are transmitted is contained in other System Information messages:
System Information Message Type 1 Type 2 Type 2 bis Type 2 ter Sent when TC = 0 1 5 5 or 4 5 or 4 or Allocation BCCH Norm BCCH Norm BCCH Norm BCCH Norm

Type 16 Type 17 Type 18 Type 19 Type 20
This clause defines requirements on minimum scheduling: the network may send any System Information message when sending of a specific System Information message is not required. The following rules apply: i) ii) BCCH Ext may share the resource with PCH and AGCH (see clause 6.5.1). System Information Type 1 need only be sent if frequency hopping is in use or when the NCH is present in a cell. If the MS finds another message when TC = 0, it can assume that System Information Type 1 is not in use.
iii) System information type 2 bis or 2 ter messages are sent if needed, as determined by the system operator. If only one of them is needed, it is sent when TC = 5. If both are needed, 2bis is sent when TC = 5 and 2ter is sent at least once within any of 4 consecutive occurrences of TC = 4. A SI 2 message will be sent at least every time TC = 1. System information type 2 quater is sent if needed, as determined by the system operator. If sent on BCCH Norm, it shall follow the same rules as System information type 2 ter. If sent on BCCH Ext, it is sent at each occurrence of TC = 5. iv) The definitions of BCCH Norm and BCCH Ext are given in clause 7 table 3 of 5. v) Use of System Information type 7 and 8 is not always necessary. It is necessary if System Information type 4 does not contain all information needed for cell selection and reselection.
vi) System Information type 9 is sent in those blocks with TC = 4 which are specified in system information type 3 as defined in GSM 04.08. vii) System Information type 13 is only related to the GPRS service. System Information Type 13 need only be sent if GPRS support is indicated in one or more of System Information Type 3 or 4 or 7 or 8 messages. These messages also indicate if the message is sent on the BCCH Norm or if the message is transmitted on the BCCH Ext. In the case that the message is sent on the BCCH Norm, it is sent at least once within any of 4 consecutive occurrences of TC=4. viii) System Information type 16 and 17 are only related to the SoLSA service. ix) System Information type 18 and 20 are sent in order to transmit non-GSM broadcast information. The frequency with which they are sent is determined by the system operator. System Information type 9 identifies the scheduling of System Information type 18 and 20 messages.

ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
x)
System Information Type 19 is sent if COMPACT neighbours exist. If System Information Type 19 is present, then its scheduling shall be indicated in System Information Type 9.
All the allowable timeslot assignments in a frame (see table 3 of 7 in clause 7) shall contain the same information.
6.3.1.4
Mapping of SID Frames
When the DTX mode of operation is active, it is required to transmit Silence Descriptor (SID) information, or equivalent dummy information, during the SACCH/T block period (104 TDMA frames). As the SID frames do not constitute a logical channel and their use is specific to DTX operation, the mapping of SID frames onto the TDMA frames is specified in GSM 05.08.
6.3.2
6.3.2.1
Mapping in time of packet logical channels onto physical channels

General
A physical channel allocated to carry packet logical channels is called a packet data channel (PDCH). A PDCH shall carry packet logical channels only. Packet switched logical channels are mapped dynamically onto a 52-multiframe. For the PDCH/F the 52-multiframe consists of 12 blocks of 4 consecutive frames, 2 idle frames and 2 frames used for the PTCCH (see GSM 05.10 and 03.64), as shown in Figure 9. Table 6 in clause 7, indicates the frame numbers for each of the blocks (B0...B11) transmitted in the multiframe. The ordered list of block is defined as B0, B6, B3, B9, B1, B7, B4, B10, B2, B8, B5, B11. For PDCH/H, the 52-multiframe consists of 6 blocks of 4 frames each, and two idle frames. Table 6 in clause 7 indicates the frame numbers for each of the blocks (B0B5) transmitted in the multiframe. A block allocated to a given logical channel comprises one radio block, or in the case of uplink only, 4 random access bursts. The type of channel may vary on a block-by-block basis. In the downlink direction, the logical channel type shall be indicated by the message type contained in the block header part. In the uplink part for channels other than PACCH transmitted as access bursts or PRACH or CPRACH, the logical channel type shall be indicated by the message type contained in the block header part. For PACCH transmitted as access bursts, the logical channel type is indicated by the corresponding polling message on the downlink (see 04.60). For the PRACH or CPRACH case the logical channel type is indicated by the USF (See GSM 04.60), set on the downlink on a block by block basis. For COMPACT, timeslot mapping and rotation of the control channels is used such that control channels belonging to a serving time group are rotated over odd timeslot numbers as follows: 7, 5, 3, 1, 7, 5 . The rotation occurs between frame numbers (FN) mod 52 = 3 and 4. The mapping of the control channels on timeslot numbers is defined by the following formula: for 0 FN mod 52 3, TN = ((6 x ((FN div 52) mod 4)) + 1 + (2 x TG)) mod 8; for 4 FN mod 52 51, TN = ((6 x ((FN div 52) mod 4)) + 7 + (2 x TG)) mod 8.
Packet switched logical channels PDTCH, PACCH, and PTCCH are never rotated.

Mapping of the uplink channels

Mapping of uplink packet traffic channel (PDTCH/U) and PACCH/U
The PDCH's where the MS may expect occurrence of its PDTCH/U(s) or PACCH/U for a mobile originated transfer is indicated in resource allocation messages (see GSM 04.60). PACCH/U shall be allocated respecting the resources allocated to the MS and the MS multislot class. For each PDCH allocated to the MS, an Uplink State Flag (R0... R7) is given to the MS.
ETSI

ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
The occurrence of the PDTCH/U and/or the PACCH/U at given block(s) Bx (where Bx = B0...Bn; n=5 for the PDTCH/HU and n=11 for the PDTCH/FU) in the 52-multiframe structure for a given MS on a given PDCH shall be indicated by the value of the Uplink State Flag (USF) contained in the header of the preceding block transmitted in the downlink of the same PDCH, that is to say B(x-1) in the same multiframe if x1 or B(n) in the previous multiframe if x=0. If the USF in block B(x-1) indicates that block B(x) shall be used by an MS for which the USF_GRANULARITY is set to 1 (corresponding to 4 blocks) in the last assignment message, that MS shall also use the three following blocks. The USF corresponding to the last three blocks shall be set to an unused value. The MS may transmit a PDTCH block or a PACCH block on any of the uplink blocks used by the MS. The occurrence of the PACCH/U associated to a PDTCH/D shall be indicated by the network by polling the MS (see GSM 04.60). NOTE 1: This clause specifies how the network shall signal that the MS is allowed to use the uplink. The operation of the MS is specified in GSM 04.60. In particular cases of fixed allocation, extended dynamic allocation or exclusive allocation, the MS may not need to monitor the USF on all allocated PDCHs. NOTE 2: The PDCH/HU is only assigned in exclusive allocation (see GSM 04.60). For COMPACT, USF_GRANULARITY should be set to 0 (corresponding to 1 block) for dynamic allocation for the following cases: i) for odd timeslot numbers (TN) 1, 3, 5, and 7 in nominal and large cells; ii) for even timeslot numbers (TN) 0, 2, 4, and 6 in large cells.
6.3.2.2.2
Mapping of the Packet Timing Advance Control Channel (PTCCH/U)
The PDCH carrying the PTCCH/U of one MS is defined in the resource allocation message (see GSM 04.60). PTCCH/U shall be mapped to one of the time slots where PDTCH(s) are allocated to the MS. PTCCH/U shall be allocated respecting the resources allocated to the MS and the MS multislot class. An MS shall be allocated a subchannel of the PTCCH/U (0...15) as defined in clause 7 table 6, where the sub-channel number is equal to the Timing Advance Index (TAI) indicated in the resource allocation message (see GSM 04.60).
6.3.2.2.3
Mapping of the uplink PCCCH i.e. PRACH
The mapping of the PRACH is defined in clause 7 table 6, where the possible blocks are indicated. The PRACH is dynamically allocated in groups of four PRACH blocks By (y=4x+i, i=0 ,.., 3) corresponding to one PDCH block Bx (x=0,...,11), indicated by USF=FREE in the same way as defined for PDTCH/U (see clause 6.3.2.2.1). Optionally, a subset of the blocks Bx can be allocated to PRACH in a fixed way. The number of allocated blocks is indicated by the parameter BS_PRACH_BLKS broadcast on the PBCCH, where BS_PRACH_BLKS=0...12. The blocks are allocated according to the ordered list defined in clause 6.3.2.1. The blocks shall also be indicated by the USF=FREE. The MS may choose to use the BS_PRACH_BLKS or USF to determine the fixed allocated part of PRACH.
6.3.2.2.3a
Mapping of the COMPACT uplink CPCCCH i.e. CPRACH
The CPRACH is dynamically or fixed allocated in the same way as defined for PRACH (see clause 6.3.2.2.3. USF should be set equal to FREE for downlink block B0 on a serving time group when 4 time groups are assigned. Uplink blocks (other than block B1 on a serving time group) that are preceded by CPBCCH and CPCCCH blocks should be prioritized for use as CPRACH. See Annex D for examples based on sixteen prioritized CPRACH blocks.

Mapping of the PTCCH/D
The PTCCH/D is mapped as defined in Clause 7 table 6. The PTCCH/D carries signalling messages including timing advance information for MSs sharing the PTCCH/U on the same PDCH.
6.3.2.3.3
Mapping of the PBCCH
The PBCCH is mapped onto one PDCH only, indicated in the BCCH. The PBCCH is mapped on BS_PBCCH_BLKS blocks (where 1BS_PBCCH_BLKS4) per multiframe, according to the ordered list described in clause 6.3.2.1. The blocks allocated are specified in Clause 7 table 6. The parameter BS_PBCCH_BLKS is broadcast on PBCCH in block B0 (see clause 3.3.2.4).
6.3.2.3.3a
Mapping of the COMPACT CPBCCH
The CPBCCH is mapped onto a primary COMPACT carrier on the time group indicated by TG on CSCH (see clause 3.3.2.2). This time group is known as the serving time group and rotates over odd timeslot numbers (see clause 6.3.2.1). The CPBCCH is mapped on BS_PBCCH_BLKS blocks (where 1BS_PBCCH_BLKS4) per multiframe, according to the ordered list described in clause 6.3.2.1. The blocks allocated are specified in clause 7 table 9. The parameters BS_PBCCH_BLKS is broadcast on CPBCCH in block B0 (see clause 3.3.2.4). See Annex D for examples based on one CPBCCH block. When USF=FREE in downlink block B0 on a serving time group, the CPRACH is allocated in uplink block B1 after timeslot rotation. When USF has any other value in downlink block B0 on a serving time group, the uplink allocation of B1 is valid for the same timeslot, irrespective of timeslot rotation.
6.3.2.3.4
Mapping of the PCCCH
The PCCCH and its different logical channels (PAGCH, PPCH, PNCH) and the PDTCH and PACCH can be mapped dynamically and are identified by the message header. The configuration is partly fixed by some parameters broadcast by the PBCCH and defined in clause 3.3.2.4: a) BS_PBCCH_BLKS, that defines the number of PBCCH blocks per multiframe, according to the ordered list described in clause 6.3.2.1, on the PDCH that carries PBCCH; b) BS_PAG_BLKS_RES, that defines the number of blocks in addition to BS_PBCCH_BLKS, according to the ordered list described in clause 6.3.2.1, where paging shall not occur on every PDCH that carries PCCCH. If PBCCH is allocated on timeslot k, PCCCHs shall be allocated only on timeslots n where n>k-4 and 0n7 in order to provide time for the MS to switch from PBCCH to PCCCH.
6.3.2.3.4a
Mapping of the COMPACT CPCCCH
The CPCCCH and its different logical channels (CPAGCH, CPPCH, CPNCH) and the PDTCH and PACCH can be mapped dynamically and are identified by the message header. The configuration is partly fixed by some parameters broadcast by the CPBCCH and defined in clause 3.3.2.4: a) BS_PBCCH_BLKS, that defines the number of CPBCCH blocks per multiframe, according to the ordered list described in clause 6.3.2.1, on the radio frequency channel that carries CPBCCH; b) BS_PAG_BLKS_RES, that defines the number of blocks in addition to BS_PBCCH_BLKS, where paging shall not occur on every radio frequency channel that carries CPCCCH. These blocks without paging are allocated after CPPCH blocks according to the ordered list described in clause 6.3.2.1. For primary COMPACT carriers, CPCCCHs shall be allocated on the same time group as CPBCCH. CPCCCHs on secondary COMPACT carrier(s) shall be allocated on same time group as for primary COMPACT carrier. See Annex D for examples based on three CPCCCH blocks.

6.3.2.4
Mapping of PBCCH data
In order to facilitate the MS operation, the network is required to transmit certain types of Packet System Information (PSI) messages in specific multiframes and specific PBCCH blocks within the multiframes. The occurrence of the PSI1 message is defined by TC = (FN DIV 52) mod PSI1_REPEAT_PERIOD, where PSI1_REPEAT_PERIOD (range 1 16) is indicated in the SI13 message on BCCH, the PSI 1 message on PBCCH and, if present, in the Neighbour Cell parameters in PSI3 and PSI3bis messages sent on serving cell PBCCH. The PSI1 message is transmitted at TC = 0 according to rule i) and ii) below. The PSI messages other than the PSI1 message are divided into two groups of PSI messages. One group of PSI messages is transmitted with a low repetition rate and a second group is transmitted with a high repetition rate. The number of PSI message instances sent with high repetition rate is indicated by the parameter PSI_COUNT_HR (range 0 to 16) in the PSI1 message. The PSI messages in this group are sent according to rule iii) below. The number of PSI message instances sent with low repetition rate is indicated by the parameter PSI_COUNT_LR (range 0 to 63) in the PSI1 message. The PSI messages in this group are sent according to rule iv) below. The following rules apply: i) PSI1 shall be sent in block B0 when TC = 0; ii) if the value of the parameter BS_PBCCH_BLKS is greater than 1, the PSI1 shall also be sent in block B6 when TC = 0; iii) the PSI messages in the group sent with high repetition rate shall be sent in a sequence determined by the network and starting at TC = 0, using the PBCCH blocks within each multiframe, in the order of occurrence, which are not occupied according to rule i) or ii). The sequence of these PSI messages shall be repeated starting at each occurrence of TC = 0; iv) the PSI messages in the group sent with low repetition rate shall be sent in a sequence determined by the network and continuously repeated, using the PBCCH blocks within each multiframe, in the order of occurrence, which are not occupied according to rules i) to iii) . The sequence of these PSI messages shall be restarting at FN = 0. If there are multiple instances of a particular type of PSI message (See GSM 04.60), they shall all be sent within same group of PSI messages according to either rule iii) or iv) above. They shall be sent in a single sequence in the ascending order of the message instance number of that type of PSI message. The same PSI message shall not occur twice within the lists defined by PSI_COUNT_LR and PSI_COUNT_HR A full set of Packet System Information messages contains one consistent set of the messages included in PSI_COUNT_LR and one consistent set of the messages included in PSI_COUNT_HR plus the PSI1 message. NOTE: The parameters BS_PBCCH_BLKS and PSI1_REPEAT_PERIOD_shall be selected by the network such that all PSI message present in the cell can be sent according to rules i) to iv) above. It is the responsibility of the network to optimise the broadcast of the PSI messages so that the MS can find the important parameters for cell re-selection and access as fast as possible without unnecessary power consumption. The PSI mapping scheme information can be utilised by the MS to estimate the actual minimum cell reselection time.

CTSBCH timeslot assignment
For the CTSBCH, a procedure of timeslot shifting from one 52-multiframe to another is defined. The usage of this procedure is mandatory in CTS idle mode and optional in CTS dedicated mode. When the shifting procedure is not applied, the CTSBCH timeslot number shall be equal to the TNC broadcast in the current 52-multiframe CTSBCH-SB. The following parameters are required for the timeslot shifting procedure. Parameters broadcast in the CTSBCH-SB: a) TNI: initial timeslot number (0 to 7, 3 bits), defined by the three LSBs (BN3, BN2, BN1) of the FPBI (specified in GSM 03.03); b) TNSCN: timeslot number series couple number (0 to 31, 5 bits), defined by the 5 bits (BN8, ..., BN4) of the FPBI. Defines the couple of timeslot number circular series (TNSTNSCN,0, TNSTNSCN,1) to be used to form the timeslot shifting sequence. See timeslot number series (TNS) definition in table below.

The TNS1 and TNS2 segments are extracted from TNS1 and TNS2 according to the following rules : a) The first CTSBCH TN used in a shifting sequence shall be the TNI. b) Two consecutive CTSBCH TN shall be separated by single circular shifts along TNS1 and TNS2. c) When changing from a TNSi segment to a TNSj segment, the last timeslot obtained from TNSi shall be followed by its immediate successor in TNSj. NOTE: The first timeslot of a set is obtained by three circular shifts in TNS1 with regard to the first timeslot of the previous set.
An example of the mapping of TNS1 and TNS2 onto the first set of the generated shifting sequence is given in annex C.

Multislot configurations
A multislot configuration consists of multiple circuit or packet switched traffic channels together with associated control channels, allocated to the same MS. The multislot configuration occupies up to 8 basic physical channels, with different timeslots numbers (TN) but with the same frequency parameters (ARFCN or MA, MAIO and HSN) and the same training sequence (TSC).
6.4.2.1
Multislot configurations for circuit switched connections
Two types of multislot configurations exists, symmetric and asymmetric. The symmetric case consists of only bidirectional channels. The asymmetric case consists of both bi-directional and unidirectional downlink channels. The occupied physical channels shall consist of the following channel combinations as defined in clause 6.4.1. one main channel of type viii) + x secondary channels of type ix) + y secondary channels of type x) where 0<= x <= 7, y = 0 0<= x <= 6, 1 <= y <= 7, x+y <= 7 for symmetric multislot configuration for asymmetric multislot configuration
The main channel is the bi-directional channel that carries the main signalling (FACCH and SACCH) for the multislot configuration. The position of the main channel is indicated by the allocation message (GSM 04.08). Secondary channels may be added or removed without changing the main channel. The allocation of channels to a Multislot Configuration must always consider the multislot capability of the MS, as defined by the multislot class described in annex B. There is no limitation in this TS to the possible TCH types (see clause 3.2) which may be used in a Multislot Configuration. High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD) is one case of multislot configuration. The full rate traffic channels of a HSCSD configuration shall convey the same user bit rate (see clause 3.2.3). NOTE: For the maximum number of timeslots to be used for a HSCSD, see GSM 03.34.
6.4.2.2
Multislot configurations for packet switched connections
An MS may be allocated several PDTCH/Us or PDTCH/Ds for one mobile originated or one mobile terminated communication respectively. In this context allocation refers to the list of PDCH that may dynamically carry the PDTCHs for that specific MS. The PACCH may be mapped onto any of the allocated PDCHs. If there are m timeslots allocated for reception and n timeslots allocated for transmission, there shall be Min(m,n) reception and transmission timeslots with the same TN. For a multislot class 1 to 12 MS for a packet switched connection, Tra (see appendix B) shall always apply.

ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
The occupied physical channels shall consist a combination of configurations xi, xii and xiii as defined in clause 6.4.1. For COMPACT, the occupied physical channels shall consist of a combination of configurations xiii), xxii), xxiii), and xxiv) as defined in clause 6.4.1. The network shall leave a gap of at least one radio block between the old and the new configuration, when the allocation is changed and PDCHs with the lowest numbered timeslot are not the same in the old and new configuration. For multislot class type 1 MS, the gap shall be left in both uplink and downlink when the lowest numbered timeslot for the combined uplink and downlink configuration is changed. For multislot class type 2 MS, the gap shall be left in the link (uplink and/or downlink) where the lowest numbered timeslot has been changed.
6.4.2.3
Multislot configurations for dual transfer mode
For DTM, a multislot configuration consists of a single traffic channel (TCH) and one or more full rate packet data traffic channels (PDTCH/F) together with associated control channels allocated to the same mobile station. This multislot configuration may occupy up to 3 basic physical channels. The network shall leave a gap of at least one radio block between the old and the new configuration, when the allocation is changed and PDCHs with the lowest numbered timeslot are not the same in the old and new configuration. For multislot class type 1 MS, the gap shall be left in both uplink and downlink when the lowest numbered timeslot for the combined uplink and downlink configuration is changed.

i)
Operation of channels and channel combinations

General
A base transceiver station must transmit a burst in every timeslot of every TDMA frame in the downlink of radio frequency channel C0 of the cell allocation (to allow mobiles to make power measurements of the radio frequency channels supporting the BCCH, see GSM 05.08). In order to achieve this requirement a dummy burst is defined in clause 5.2.6 which shall be transmitted by the base transceiver station on all timeslots of all TDMA frames of radio frequency channel C0 for which no other channel requires a burst to be transmitted. Timeslot number 0 of radio frequency channel C0 of the cell allocation must support either channel combinations iv) or v) in clause 6.4.1. No other timeslot or allocated channel from the cell allocation is allowed to support channel combinations iv) or v) in clause 6.4.1. The parameter BS_CC_CHANS in the BCCH defines the number of basic physical channels supporting common control channels (CCCHs). All shall use timeslots on radio frequency channel C0 of the cell allocation. The first CCCH shall use timeslot number 0, the second timeslot number 2, the third timeslot number 4 and the fourth timeslot number 6. Each CCCH carries its own CCCH_GROUP of mobiles in idle mode. Mobiles in a specific CCCH_GROUP will listen for paging messages and make random accesses only on the specific CCCH to which the CCCH_GROUP belongs. The method by which a mobile determines the CCCH_GROUP to which it belongs is defined in clause 6.5.2. The parameter BS_CCCH_SDCCH_COMB in the BCCH (see clause 3.3.2) defines whether the common control channels defined are combined with SDCCH/4(0.3) + SACCH/C4(0.3) onto the same basic physical channel. If they are combined then the number of available random access channel blocks (access grant channel blocks and paging channel blocks; see following), are reduced as defined in table 5 of clause 7. The PCH, AGCH, NCH and BCCH Ext may share the same TDMA frame mapping (considered modulo 51) when combined onto a basic physical channel. The channels are shared on a block by block basis, and information within each block, when de-interleaved and decoded allows a mobile to determine whether the block contains paging messages, system information messages or access grants. However, to ensure a mobile satisfactory access to the system a variable number of the available blocks in each 51-multiframe can be reserved for access grants and system information messages, only. The number of blocks not used for paging (BS_AG_BLKS_RES) starting from, and including block number 0 is broadcast in the BCCH (see clause 3.3.2). As above the number of paging blocks per 51-multiframe considered to be "available" shall be reduced by the number of blocks reserved for access grant messages. If system information messages are sent on BCCH Ext, BS_AG_BLKS_RES shall be set to a value greater than zero. Table 5 of clause 7 defines the access grant blocks and paging blocks available per 51-multiframe.

ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
vi)
Another parameter in the BCCH, BS_PA_MFRMS indicates the number of 51-multiframes between transmissions of paging messages to mobiles in idle mode of the same paging group. The "available" paging blocks per CCCH are then those "available" per 51-multiframe on that CCCH (determined by the two above parameters) multiplied by BS_PA_MFRMS. Mobiles are normally only required to monitor every Nth block of their paging channel, where N equals the number of "available" blocks in total (determined by the above BCCH parameters) on the paging channel of the specific CCCH which their CCCH_GROUP is required to monitor. Other paging modes (e.g. page reorganize or paging overload conditions described in GSM 04.08) may require the mobile to monitor paging blocks more frequently than this. All the mobiles listening to a particular paging block are defined as being in the same PAGING_GROUP. The method by which a particular mobile determines to which particular PAGING_GROUP it belongs and hence which particular block of the available blocks on the paging channel is to be monitored is defined in clause 6.5.2. An MS which has its membership of at least one voice group or voice broadcast call group set to the active state shall, in addition to monitoring the paging blocks as described above, monitor the notification channel, NCH. This logical channel is always mapped onto contiguous blocks reserved for access grants, in a position and number as given by the parameter NCP, defined in GSM 04.08, broadcast on the BCCH. The channel may be present when a cell supports voice group or voice broadcast calls. The coding of the various structural parameters described above in this clause is not changed. Information within a block, when deinterleaved and decoded, allows the MS to determine whether the block contains access grant messages or notification messages.
vii)
viii) In presence of PCCCH, the parameter BS_PCC_CHANS in the PBCCH defines the number of physical channels for packet data (PDCH) carrying PCCCH. The (P)BCCH shall in addition indicate the physical description of those channels. Each PCCCH carries its own PCCCH_GROUP of MSs in GPRS attached mode. MS in a specific PCCCH_GROUP will listen for paging messages and make random accesses only on the specific PCCCH to which the PCCCH_GROUP belongs. The method by which an MS determines the PCCCH_GROUP to which it belongs is defined in clause 6.5.6. ix) In CTS, the CTSBCH (CTSBCH-SB and CTSBCH-FB) shall always be transmitted by the CTS-FP according to the rules defined in Clause 6 and Clause 7 Table 8. In CTS idle mode, a CTS-MS shall be assigned a CTS_PAGING_GROUP, as specified in clause 6.5.7. Several CTS-MS can be assigned the same CTS_PAGING_GROUP. The CTS-MS shall determine the specific 52-multiframe where a paging block may be sent to it according to the rule defined in clause 6.5.7, and shall listen to the CTSBCH of the previous 52-multiframe. In this 52-multiframe, the CTS-MS shall decode the CTSBCH-SB information bits : if the flag indicating the presence of a CTSPCH in the next 52multiframe is properly set (see GSM 04.56), the CTS-MS shall listen to the next CTSPCH and read the paging block. With this method, it is not necessary to maintain on the physical channel the CTSPCH : the CTSPCH shall only be transmitted when a paging message shall be addressed to one or several CTS-MS in a CTS paging group. When using the CTSARCH, the CTS-MS shall send two bursts on the CTSARCH: these two bursts shall be sent on two successive frames and shall fulfil the mapping defined in clause 7 Table 8, with the requirement of the first burst being sent in a TDMA frame with even FN. They shall contain the same access request message, which is specified in GSM 04.56. The first sent burst can be used by the CTS-FP to assess the path loss between the CTS-MS and itself, in order to effectively decode the second burst. x) For COMPACT, the base transceiver station shall transmit a burst in a PDCH allocated to carry CPBCCH, in all TDMA Frames where CPBCCH, CFCCH, CSCH is allocated or where CPPCH can appear. In TDMA Frames where CPPCH can appear on the physical channel where CPBCCH is allocated, the base transceiver station shall transmit a dummy block in case no block is required to be transmitted. For COMPACT, a base station does not transmit a burst in every timeslot of every TDMA frame in the downlink of the COMPACT control carrier (i.e., discontinuous transmission is used). For COMPACT, inter base station time synchronization is required. Timeslot number (TN) = i (i = 0 to 7) and frame number (FN) with FN mod 208 =0 shall occur at the same time in all cells.
xi) xii)
xiii) For the primary COMPACT carrier, timeslot numbers (TN) 1, 3, 5, and 7 shall support channel combination xxii) in clause 6.4.1. TNs 0, 2, 4, and 6 shall support channel combination xiii). xiv) For the secondary COMPACT carrier(s) carrying CPCCCH, timeslot numbers (TN) 1, 3, 5, and 7 shall support channel combination xxiii) in clause 6.4.1. TNs 0, 2, 4, and 6 shall support channel combination xiii).
ETSI
38
ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
CPCCCHs on secondary COMPACT carrier(s) shall be allocated on same time group as for primary COMPACT carrier. xv) For the secondary COMPACT carrier(s) not carrying CPCCCH, timeslot numbers (TN) 0 through 7 shall support channel combination xiii) in clause 6.4.1.
xvi) For COMPACT, BS_PAG_BLKS_RES shall be less than or equal to 8 and less than or equal to 10BS_PBCCH_BLKS. xvii) For COMPACT, CFCCH, CSCH, CPBCCH, and CPCCCH are rotated as described in clause 6.3.2.1. PDTCH, PACCH, and PTCCH do not rotate. xviii) For COMPACT, the parameters NIB_CCCH_0, NIB_CCCH_1, NIB_CCCH_2, and NIB_CCCH_3 shall not be broadcast for a serving time group. xix) For the COMPACT, NIB_CCCH_0, NIB_CCCH_1, NIB_CCCH_2, and NIB_CCCH_3 blocks shall be idle for non-serving time groups and rotate in accordance with the non-serving time groups. The downlink position of the NIB_CCCH idle blocks is based on the ordered list as defined in clause 6.3.2.1. The MS shall ignore these downlink idle blocks and shall interpret this action as not having detected an assigned USF value on an assigned PDCH. xx) For COMPACT large cells, NIB_CCCH_0, NIB_CCCH_1, NIB_CCCH_2, and NIB_CCCH_3 blocks shall be idle on timeslots immediately preceding and succeeding non-serving time groups and rotate in accordance with the non-serving time groups. The MS shall ignore these downlink idle blocks and shall interpret this action as not having detected an assigned USF value on an assigned PDCH. The downlink position of the NIB_CCCH idle blocks is based on the ordered list as defined in clause 6.3.2.1. xxi) For COMPACT, the MS attempts uplink random access on its designated serving time group (TG) by monitoring for USF=FREE in every downlink block. For dynamic allocation, while in the uplink transfer state, the MS monitors all of the downlink non-idle blocks of its assigned PDCH for uplink assignments. The MS shall ignore downlink idle blocks and shall interpret this action as not having detected an assigned USF value on an assigned PDCH. USF should be set equal to FREE for downlink non-idle blocks B0 on timeslot numbers (TN) 1, 3, 5, and 7.
6.5.2
Determination of CCCH_GROUP and PAGING_GROUP for MS in idle mode
CCCH_GROUP (0 .. BS_CC_CHANS-1) = ((IMSI mod 1000) mod (BS_CC_CHANS x N)) div N PAGING_GROUP (0 .. N-1) = ((IMSI mod 1000) mod (BS_CC_CHANS x N)) mod N where N = number of paging blocks "available" on one CCCH = (number of paging blocks "available" in a 51multiframe on one CCCH) x BS_PA_MFRMS. IMSI = International Mobile Subscriber Identity, as defined in GSM 03.03. mod = Modulo. div = Integer division.
6.5.3
Determination of specific paging multiframe and paging block index
The required 51-multiframe occurs when: PAGING_GROUP div (N div BS_PA_MFRMS) = (FN div 51) mod (BS_PA_MFRMS) The index to the required paging block of the "available" blocks in the 51-multiframe: Paging block index = PAGING_GROUP mod (N div BS_PA_MFRMS)
ETSI
39
ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
where the index is then used with the look-up table 5 of clause 7 to determine the actual paging channel interleaved block to be monitored. In GPRS non-DRX mode, the MS shall listen to all blocks of the CCCH channel.
6.5.4
Short Message Service Cell Broadcast (SMSCB)
When a short message service cell broadcast (SMSCB) message is to be sent, the message shall be sent on one of the two cell broadcast channels (CBCH): the basic and the extended cell broadcast channel in four consecutive multiframes using the block defined in table 3 of clause 7. The multiframes used for the basic cell broadcast channel shall be those in which TB = 0,1,2 and 3. The multiframes used for the extended cell broadcast channel shall be those in which TB = 4, 5, 6 and 7 where: TB = (FN DIV 51)mod(8) The SMSCB header shall be sent in the multiframe in which TB = 0 for the basic, and TB = 4 for the extended cell broadcast channel. When SMSCB is in use, this is indicated within the BCCH data (see GSM 04.08), and the parameter BS_AG_BLKS_RES shall be set to one or greater. When the CBCH is mapped onto a CCCH+SDCCH/4 channel, use of SMSCB does not place any constraint on the value of BS_AG_BLKS_RES. NOTE 1: The MS reading of the extended CBCH is occasionally interrupted by MS idle mode procedures. NOTE 2: For a certain network configuration the MS reading of the primary CBCH is occasionally interrupted by MS idle mode procedures when the MS is GPRS attached and in packet idle mode.
6.5.5
Voice group and voice broadcast call notifications
When mobile stations are to be alerted on a voice group or voice broadcast call, notification messages shall be sent on the notification channel (NCH), using the blocks defined in clause 6.5.1. When the NCH is in use, the parameter BS_AG_BLKS_RES shall be set to a value not lower than the number of blocks used for the NCH, see clause 6.5.1 vii).

ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
6.5.6
Determination of PCCCH_GROUP and PAGING_GROUP for MS in GPRS attached mode
In absence of PCCCH, CCCH shall be used in the GPRS attached mode for paging and access. If the determination of the specific paging multiframe and paging block index as specified in this clause is not supported on CCCH by both the MS and the BTS, the method defined in clause 6.5.2 and 6.5.3 shall be used. This is negotiated at GPRS attach. PCCCH_GROUP (0 .. KC-1) = ((IMSI mod 1000) mod (KC* N)) div N PAGING_GROUP (0 ... M-1) = ( ( (IMSI mod1000) div(KC*N) ) * N + (IMSI mod 1000) mod N + Max((m * M) div SPLIT_PG_CYCLE, m)) mod M for m = 0, ... , Min(M, SPLIT_PG_CYCLE) -1 where KC = number of (P)CCCH in the cell = BS_PCC_CHANS for PCCCH BS_CC_CHANS for CCCH M = number of paging blocks available on one (P)CCCH = (12 - BS_PAG_BLKS_RES - BS_PBCCH_BLKS) * 64 for PCCCH (9 - BS_AG_BLKS_RES) * 64 for CCCH not combined (3 - BS_AG_BLKS_RES) * 64 for CCCH + SDCCH combined N= 1 for PCCCH (9 - BS_AG_BLKS_RES)*BS_PA_MFRMS for CCCH not combined (3 - BS_AG_BLKS_RES)*BS_PA_MFRMS for CCCH/SDCCH combined SPLIT_PG_CYCLE is an MS specific parameter negotiated at GPRS attach (see GSM 04.60) IMSI mod div = International Mobile Subscriber Identity, as defined in GSM 03.03. = Modulo. = Integer division.
The MS shall receive paging and perform access on a single (P)CCCH identified by the PCCCH_GROUP parameter (see clause 6.5.1). In non-DRX mode, depending whether there is or not PCCCH channel(s) in the cell, the MS shall listen : to all M blocks per multiframe where paging may appear on a PCCCH channel, or to all blocks on a CCCH channel.
In DRX mode, the MS shall listen to the blocks corresponding to its paging group as defined by the different PAGING_GROUP values. The required multiframe occurs when: PAGING_GROUP div (M div 64) = (FN div MFL) mod 64 where MFL = multiframe length = 51 for CCCH or 52 for PCCCH The index to the required paging block of the "available" blocks in the multiframe: Paging block index = PAGING_GROUP mod (M div 64)
ETSI
41
ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
where the index is then used with look-up tables of clause 7 to determine the actual PPCH block to be monitored. Table 5 is used for CCCH and table 7 for PCCCH. For CCCH, if SPLIT_PG_CYCLE>32 is negotiated, SPLIT_PG_CYCLE=32 shall be used, in order to provide the MS enough time for BSIC and System Information decoding. NOTE: On BCCH, the operator should limit DRX_TIMER_MAX (see GSM 04.60) to 4 seconds of the same reason.
6.5.7
Determination of CTS_PAGING_GROUP and specific paging 52multiframe for MS in CTS mode
CTS_PAGING_GROUP = (CTS-MSI mod N) where: CTS-MSI = CTS Mobile Subscriber Identity as defined in GSM 03.03 N = number of CTS paging groups defined in the CTS-FP and given to the CTS-MS during the attachment procedure (see GSM 04.56). The required 52-multiframe where a paging message may be sent to the CTS-MS occurs when : (FN div 52) mod N = CTS_PAGING_GROUP

A.2.1.4 Partial SID information

The BTS transmits bursts containing parts of the SID frames provided by the speech encoder. The bits transmitted in such bursts on C0 carrier contain the same bits that would have been transmitted in those bursts in those if the associated traffic frames were scheduled for transmission.
A.2.2
Half burst filling
For downlink DTX, when a given traffic frame is scheduled for transmission and one of its adjacent traffic frames is not scheduled for transmission, half of the "encrypted bits" belonging to the normal bursts associated with the scheduled traffic frame need to be filled. These bits are referred to as "half burst filling bits". These half bursts filling bits contain either.

When an MS supports the use of multiple timeslots it shall belong to a multislot class as defined below:

Type 1 MS are not required to transmit and receive at the same time. Type 2 MS are required to be able to transmit and receive at the same time. For HSCSD, only multislot classes 1 - 18 are recognised. An MS with a higher multislot class number shall indicate a suitable multislot class less than 19 for HSCSD applications (see GSM 04.08).
ETSI
64
ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
Rx: Rx describes the maximum number of receive timeslots that the MS can use per TDMA frame. The MS must be able to support all integer values of receive TS from 0 to Rx (depending on the services supported by the MS). The receive TS need not be contiguous. For type 1 MS, the receive TS shall be allocated within window of size Rx, and no transmit TS shall occur between receive TS within a TDMA frame. Tx: Tx describes the maximum number of transmit timeslots that the MS can use per TDMA frame. The MS must be able to support all integer values of transmit TS from 0 to Tx (depending on the services supported by the MS). The transmit TS need not be contiguous. For type 1 MS, the transmit TS shall be allocated within window of size Tx, and no receive TS shall occur between transmit TS within a TDMA frame. Sum: Sum is the total number of uplink and downlink TS that can actually be used by the MS per TDMA frame. The MS must be able to support all combinations of integer values of Rx and Tx TS where 1 <= Rx + Tx <= Sum (depending on the services supported by the MS). Sum is not applicable to all classes. Tta: Tta relates to the time needed for the MS to perform adjacent cell signal level measurement and get ready to transmit. For type 1 MS it is the minimum number of timeslots that will be allowed between the end of the previous transmit or receive TS and the next transmit TS when measurement is to be performed between. It should be noted that, in practice, the minimum time allowed may be reduced by amount of timing advance. For type 1 MS that supports extended TA, the parameter Tta is increased by 1 if TA > 63 and there is a change from RX to TX. For type 2 MS it is not applicable. For circuit switched multislot configurations as defined in clause 6.4.2.1, Tta is not applicable. Ttb: Ttb relates to the time needed for the MS to get ready to transmit. This minimum requirement will only be used when adjacent cell power measurements are not required by the service selected. For type 1 MS it is the minimum number of timeslots that will be allowed between the end of the last previous receive TS and the first next transmit TS or between the previous transmit TS and the next transmit TS when the frequency is changed in between. It should be noted that, in practice, the minimum time allowed may be reduced by the amount of the timing advance. For type 1 MS that supports extended TA, the parameter Ttb = 2 if TA > 63 and there is a change from RX to TX. For type 2 MS it is the minimum number of timeslots that will be allowed between the end of the last transmit burst in a TDMA frame and the first transmit burst in the next TDMA frame. Tra: Tra relates to the time needed for the MS to perform adjacent cell signal level measurement and get ready to receive. For type 1 MS it is the minimum number of timeslots that will be allowed between the previous transmit or receive TS and the next receive TS when measurement is to be performed between. For type 2 MS it is the minimum number of timeslots that will be allowed between the end of the last receive burst in a TDMA frame and the first receive burst in the next TDMA frame.
ETSI

ETSI EN 300 908 V8.5.1 (2000-11)
Trb: Trb relates to the time needed for the MS to get ready to receive. This minimum requirement will only be used when adjacent cell power measurements are not required by the service selected. For type 1 MS it is the minimum number of timeslots that will be allowed between the previous transmit TS and the next receive TS or between the previous receive TS and the next receive TS when the frequency is changed in between. For type 2 MS it is the minimum number of timeslots that will be allowed between the end of the last receive burst in a TDMA frame and the first receive burst in the next TDMA frame.
B.2
Constraints imposed by the service selected
The service selected will impose certain restrictions on the allowed combinations of transmit and receive timeslots. Such restrictions are not imposed by this annex but should be derived from the description of the services. For example, in the case of circuit switched data the TS numbers used in the uplink will be a subset of those used in the downlink. The service selected will determine whether or not adjacent cell power measurements are required and therefore whether Tra or Trb is allowed for.
B.3
Network requirements for supporting MS multislot classes
The multislot class of the MS will limit the combinations and configurations allowed when supporting multislot communication. GSM 400 network may support extended cell coverage utilising timing advance values greater than 63. This has an effect that the time for MS to change from RX to TX will be very short for distant MS. It is necessary for the network to decide whether requested or current multislot configuration can be supported by distant MS. If actual TA is great enough it may be necessary for network to downgrade requested resources or it may be necessary for network to downgrade current resources. It is necessary for the network to decide whether the MS needs to perform adjacent cell power measurement for the type of multislot communication intended and whether the service imposes any other constraints before the full restrictions on TS assignments can be resolved. This is best shown by example: For a multislot class 5 MS in circuit switched configuration (adjacent cell power measurements required) five basic configurations of channels are possible which can occur in six different positions in the TDMA frame. The service itself may determine that asymmetry must be downlink biased, in which case the last two solutions would not be allowed.

and the timeslot shifting algorithm defined in clause 6.3.3, the CTSBCH TN used in set 0 of the shifting sequence is :

Annex D (informative): COMPACT multiframe structure examples

In the figures, the 52-multiframe number (MFN) shall have a range of 0 to 3 and can be calculated from the TDMA frame number (FN) as follows: MFN = (FN div 52) mod 4 For COMPACT, timeslot mapping and rotation of the control channels is used such that control channels belonging to a serving time group are rotated over odd timeslot numbers as follows: 7, 5, 3, 1, 7, 5, . The rotation occurs between frame numbers (FN) mod 52 = 3 and 4. The timeslot mapping and rotation of the control channels in this manner allows the mobile station to measure the received signal level from surrounding cells in its normal measurement window. Since the rotation repeats itself every 208 frames, the 52-multiframe number (MFN) allows the mobile station to determine its location in the time group rotation during selection and re-selection. The following relates to Figures D.1 through D.7: i) ii) B(x)y = time group y uses CPBCCH in block x; C(x)y = time group y uses CPCCCH in block x;
iii) PTCCH = PTCCH as norma; iv) CFCCHy = time group y uses CFCCH; v) CSCHy = time group y uses CSCH;
vi) IDLE = idle burst; vii) Xy = block designated as idle for time group y; viii) Empty = used for traffic as normal.
