Layer 2 Consists of
Medium Access Control (MAC)
Radio Link Control (RLC)
The Broadcast Multicast Control (BMC)
Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)
Layer 3
Rate matching
Mapping of CCTrCHs on physical channels
Modulation, spreading/demodulation, and
de-spreading of physical channels
Frequency and time synchronization
Closed-loop power control
Power weighting and combining of physical
channels
RF processing
FEC encoding/decoding of transport
channels
FEC scheme aims to reduce transmission
error
UTRAN employs two FEC schemes
(i) Convolution codes
(ii) turbo codes
Radio measurements and indications
to higher layers
Radio measurements is to be carried by
physical layer and result is to be reported to
higher layers.
These measurements can be specific to either
UE or Node B

Core Network Protocols : Circuit-
Switched Core Network
Mobility Management (MM)
Main function of the MM is location management.
MM procedures can be divided into three groups:
MM common procedures;
MM specific procedures;
MM connection-management procedures.
Core Network Protocols : Circuit-
Switched Core Network
GPRS Mobility Management (GMM)
The GPRS mobility management (GMM) sub layer
provides services to the session management (SM) entity
and to the SMS support entity for message transfer.
GMM procedures can be of two types:
▪ GMM common procedures;
▪ GMM-specific procedures.
Core Network Protocols : Circuit-
Switched Core Network
Call Control (CC)
A CC entity supports the following elementary procedures:
▪ Call-establishment procedures;
▪ Call-clearing procedures;
▪ Call-information-phase procedures;
▪ Miscellaneous procedures.
Core Network Protocols : Circuit-
Switched Core Network
Supplementary Services (SS)
Supplementary services (SS) are value-added services that
may or may not be provided by the network operator.
Short Message Service (SMS)
The purpose of the SMS is to provide a means to transfer
short text messages between a UE and a short message
service center (SMSC). These messages are sent using the
control signaling resources, and their maximum length can
be only 160 characters.
Core Network Protocols : Packet-
Switched Core Network
Session Management (SM)
The main function of the SM protocol is to support packet
data protocol (PDP) context handling of the user terminal.
there is no “connection” concept in a (IP) packet-switched
system.
GPRS Short Message Service Support (GSMS)
The GPRS Short Message Service (GSMS) protocol task
handles the SMS service while the UE is attached to the
GPRS system. This protocol is an extension of the circuit-
switched SMS protocol.
