Uplink TBF

The mobile triggers the establishment of an uplink TBF

for three major reasons:
• To perform an uplink data transfer;
• To answer a paging;
• To perform a GMM procedure (e.g., RA update
procedure and GPRS attach procedure).

Downlink TBF

• The BSS initiates the establishment of a downlink TBF when it receives a

downlink LLC PDU from the SGSN that must be transmitted to a mobile,
and this MS is not already in downlink transfer.

• The transmission of an LLC PDU from the SGSN to the BSS is only allowed
when the mobile is located at cell level within the SGSN. If this is not the
case, the SGSN must start a paging procedure from which it will recover
this information. At the end of the paging procedure, the mobile is in
GMM READY state.

• When the SGSN transmits a downlink LLC PDU that must be sent to the
mobile, it indicates to the BSS the cell in which the mobile is located, the
TLLI identifying the mobile, the MS radio access capability parameters
(indicating the multislot class of the MS, the RF power capability, and the
supported frequency bands) and the QoS profile.
