1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE
This volume of the message dictionary details the non-transparent messages handled by the Alcatel BSS over the A interface. As for this release both GSM phase 1 and phase 2 formats are supported, this document shows both message formats where applicable.
2. GENERAL PRESENTATION 2.1 PRELIMINARIES

Each message is described in the same way : - A general overview, - A general description, with a byte per byte description - A detailed description of all the Information Elements, The messages dictionary includes also in this part : - A summary of all the messages described in the dictionary, - A cross reference of all the Information Elements. This allows to find all the messages in which one Information Element appears.
2.2 MESSAGES PRESENTATION 2.2.1 The general overview

It is the first page for each message. It includes : NAME : The name of the message. INTERFACE : The list of three Interfaces. Under each interface name, the two following fields give information, if relevant. CHANNEL/USAGE : According to the involved interface, it is the radio channel definition or the fact that the message is transparent or not for the BTS. When the box is empty, the message is not used on this interface. 3GPP-REF. : According to the involved interface, it gives the reference to a 3GPP TS. FUNCTION : It is the description of the function of the message. This is extracted from the 3GPP TSs. DIRECTION : It is the direction of the message from one entity of the BSS or MSC to another one.

INFORMATION ELEMENT LIST : It is the list of all the Information Element. For each Information Element the following information is given : - Mandatory (M..) or Optional (O..), - Fixed (..F) or Variable length (..V), - Some short comments. - The length in bytes, IMPLEMENTATION MAXIMUM LENGTH : It is the total of all used information elements, mandatory or optional. When the length is fixed for all parameters, a unique value is given. When not, a range is given ("minimum length" "maximum length"). FOLLOWING EVENT : It is the description of following events (for specific procedure) for the normal and abnormal cases. TIMER : It is the name of the Timers (started or stopped) associated with the message. SPECIFICATION DOC. REF. : It is the reference of relevant ALCATEL document.
2.2.2 The general description

The General Description is an overview of the message as it is sent over the various interfaces. The message is described byte per byte.
2.2.3 The information element description

For each Information Element : TYPE : This field is used to give the Mandatory or Optional information. DEFINITION : It is an extract of 3GPP TS giving the usage of the Information Element.

Only sent if received from the MS. Only sent when the channel type in the assignment request had requested a "Full or Half rate' code point. This will only be included if the MSC indicates that more than one ciphering algorithm is permitted. This possibility would have been indicated to the BSC in the Encryption Information IE contained in the last received HANDOVER REQUEST or CIPHER MODE COMMAND messages. Included at least when the speech version choice was done by the BSS.

This IE is never sent after the immediate assignment procedure and before either TCH assignment or external handover. After TCH assignment or external handover, the chosen channel IE is only sent when the channel type in either the last received ASSIGMENT REQUEST or HANDOVER REQUEST indicates one of the following codings : For signalling connections (i.e. SDCCH)- when the channel type indicates 'No preferences' For Speech or Data connections (i.e. TCH) - when the channel type indicates "Full or Half rate", with a preference, with or without changes allowed. This will only be included if the MSC indicates that more than one ciphering algorithm is permitted. This possibility would have been indicated to the BSC in the Encryption Information IE contained in the last received HANDOVER REQUEST or CIPHER MODE COMMAND messages. Included at least when the speech version has been changed by the BSS. LAYER 3 MESSAGE DICTIONARY - A INTERFACE HANDOVER PERFORMED 3BK 11203 0064 DSZZA 115/218 115
