In order to facilitate the understanding of these procedures, the following rules in the drawing of Message Sequence Chart (MSC) are applied: Messages are always exchanged between nodes, i.e. the sender and the receiver of a message are nodes and not single protocol entities; The protocol entity inside a node that is sending/receiving a message is represented by means of an ellipse, containing the protocol entity name; Each message is numbered, so that a numbered list with explanations can be added below the figure; Message parameters may be specified as shown in Figure 1 only when required for a clear understanding of the procedures; Explicit signalling is represented by means of continuous arrows; Inband signalling is represented by means of dotted arrows; A description of the relevant actions may be included as shown in Figure 1; The Setup and Release of I ub /I ur and Iu Data Transport Bearer with the ALCAP protocol is represented as shown in Figure 1; The transport channel used by the MAC protocol or the logical channel used by the RLC and protocols may be indicated before the message name as shown in figure 1 Drift RNS Serving RNS Drift Serving CN MAC 1.

14 4.6 ALCAP 14 TR V3.7.1 ( ) ALCAP is a generic name to indicate the protocol(s) used to establish data transport bearers on the Iu, Iur and Iub interfaces. Q (Q AAL2) is one of the selected protocols to be used as ALCAP. The following should be noted: data transport bearers may be dynamically established using ALCAP or preconfigured; transport bearers may be established before or after allocation of radio resources Q (Q.AAL 2) The following figure is showing an example of use of Q in the UTRAN context, for the different interfaces.

Note that the is transparent to this messaging because (as mentioned in [10],[11] and [12]) the BMC protocol is terminated in (see also [7]). 7 Procedures related to a specific This clause presents a number of signalling procedures related to a specific. 7.1 Paging This subclause presents two examples of Paging procedures for both the cases of a in Idle Mode and Connected Mode Paging for a in Idle Mode and connected mode (CELL_PCH and URA_PCH states) This example shows how paging is performed for a in Idle Mode. The may be paged for a CS or PS service. Since the is in Idle Mode, the location is only known at CN level and therefore paging is distributed over a defined geographical area (e.g. LA). NOTE: Example below illustrates scenario where LA spans across 2 s.

19 19 TR V3.7.1 ( ) CN 1. Paging 1. Paging 2. PCCH : Paging Type 1 3. PCCH : Paging Type 1 Figure 5: Paging for a in Idle Mode 1. CN initiates the paging of a over a LA spanning two s (i.e. 1 and 2) via message Paging. Parameters: CN Domain Indicator, Permanent NAS Identity, Temporary Identity, Paging Cause. 2. Paging of performed by cell1 using Paging Type 1 message. 3. Paging of performed by cell2 using Paging Type 1 message. The detects page message from 1 (as example) and the procedure for NAS signalling connection establishment follows. NAS message transfer can now be performed. This procedure described for idle mode, applies also to the connected mode in the case of CELL_PCH and URA_PCH states Paging for a in Connected Mode (CELL_DCH and CELL_FACH states) This can occur in case of two core network domains, with the mobility management independent of each other. Two possible solutions exists: The UTRAN coordinates the paging request with the existing connection. The coordinates the paging request with the existing connection. The following example shows how paging is performed for a in Connected Mode (CELL_DCH and CELL_FACH states) when the UTRAN coordinates the paging request with the existing connection using DCCH. Serving CN 1. Paging 2. DCCH : Paging Type 2 Figure 6: Paging for a in Connected Mode (CELL_DCH and CELL_FACH states) 1. CN initiates the paging of a via message Paging. Parameters: CN Domain Indicator, Permanent NAS Identity, Temporary Identity, Paging Cause. 2. S sends message Paging Type 2.

20 20 TR V3.7.1 ( ) 7.2 NAS Signalling Connection Establishment This example shows establishment of a NAS Signalling Connection. This establishment could be request by the terminal by itself (for example to initiate a service) or could be stimulated by a paging from the CN. Serving CN 1. Connection Establishment 2. DCCH : Initial Direct Transfer 3. Initial Message Figure 7: NAS Signalling Connection Establishment 1. Connection is established (see or 7.3.2). 2. sends Initial Direct Transfer to S. Parameters: Initial NAS Message (could for a GSM based CN be e.g. CM Service Request, Location Update Request etc.) CN node indicator (it indicates the correct CN node into which the NAS message shall be forwarded). 3. S initiates signalling connection to CN, and sends the message Initial Message. Parameters: NAS PDU (could for a GSM based CN be e.g. CM Service Request, Location Update Request etc.), CN domain indicator (indicating the CN domain towards which this message is sent). The NAS signalling connection between and CN can now be used for NAS message transfer. 7.3 Connection Establishment The following examples show establishment of a connection either in dedicated transport channel (DCH) state or in common transport channel (RACH/FACH) state DCH Establishment This example shows establishment of an connection in dedicated transport channel (DCH) state.
