BSSMAP - deals with procedures that take place logically between the BSS and MSC, examples :
Trunk Maintenance, Ciphering, Handover, Voice/Data Trunk Assignment
DTAP - deals with procedures that take place logically between the MS and MSC. The BSS does not interpret the DTAP information, it simply repackages it and sends it to the MS over the Um Interface. examples:
Location Update, MS originated and terminated Calls, Short Message Service, User Supplementary Service registration, activation, deactivation and erasure

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

LAPD Message
23
LCC PakistanTraffic&Redesign
The length is limited to 260 octets of information.
LAPD has the address of the destination terminal, to identify the TRX, since this is a point to multipoint interface.
Each TRX in a BTS corresponds to one or several signaling links. These links are distinguished by TEI (Terminal Equipment Identities).
SAPI=0, SAPI=3, SAPI=62 for OAM.

Layer 2 Signaling
Traffic&Redesign LCC Pakistan27
LCC PakistanTraffic&Redesign
• 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 for LAPDm, it uses the error detecting performance of the transmission coding scheme offered by the physical layer
LAPDm Message
28
LCC PakistanTraffic&Redesign
The acknowledgement for the next expected frame in the indicator N(R ).
On radio interface two independent flows(one for signaling, and one for SMS) can exist simultaneously.
These two flows are distinguished by a link identifier called the SAPI(service access point identifier).
LAPDm SAPI=0 for signaling and SAPI=3 for SMS. SAP1=0 for radio signaling, SAPI=62 for OAM and SAPI=63 for
layer 2 management on the Abis interface. There is no need of a TEI, because there is no need to
distinguish the different mobile stations, which is done by distinguishing the different radio channels.

Paging locates MS to cell Level for call routing
Three paging message types:
Type 1 - 2 MSs using IMSI/TMSI
Type 2 - 3 MSs (1xIMSI, 2xTMSI)
Type 3 - 4 MSs using TMSI only
Paging message requires 4 bursts (1 CCCH block)
Paging messages may be stored at BSS
Transmitted on PCH
If DRX is implemented MS listens only to allocated paging group
