SAP and Primitives Service access point (SAP) is a point at which the N layer provides services for N+1 layer.

Primitives are categorized into the following types:•REQUEST primitive: used when a higher layer is requesting a service from the next lower layer•INDICATION primitive: used by a layer providing a service to notify the next higher layer of activities related to the primitive type REQUEST•RESPONSE primitive: used by a layer to acknowledge receipt, from a lower layer, of the primitive type INDICATION•CONFIRM primitive: used by the layer providing the requested service to confirm that the activity has been completed

Protocol Structure

In general, a protocol consists of the following sections:

Introduction (scope, references and abbreviations) Background knowledge (protocol significance and relation with other protocols) Detailed description (related processes, such as the objective, operation, and result) Related messages Information element codes in messages Appendix (supplementary description of key points in the protocol)

Page 9: Guide to GSM and WCDMA Protocols

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 9HUAWEI Confidential

The Way to Read Protocols

To read protocols effectively, follow the principles below:

Read a protocol from the general introduction to the detailed description step by step, that is, from the easy to the difficult. Read the outline first to get a general knowledge of the contents, and then browse the whole context. Analyze the introduction section to find out the source and objective of the protocol. Focus on the basic processing flow, and combine the message (and message codes if necessary) learning with the protocol learning.

Development of GSM

Mobile communication has gone through the development from analog communication to digital communication. The digital mobile communication mechanism at present consists of GSM (Pan-Europe), ADC (the US) and JDC (PDC now, Japan). Following are the milestones in the GSM development. In 1982, Conference of European Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) set up the GSM, targeting at developing the second generation of mobile communication system. In 1986, the eight systems proposed after numerous researches and experiments were tested on site in Paris. In 1987, the GSM member states achieved an agreement on adopting the technologies such as the TDMA, RPE-LTP, and GMSK after the on-site tests and demonstrations. In 1988, 18 European countries signed the GSM memorandum of understanding. In 1989, the GSM recommendations took effect. In 1991, the GSM technology and network were formally adopted in Europe. The second generation of mobile communication came into being. The GSM experienced the updating from V5, V6 to V7. The GPRS was introduced at the V6 stage. The 3GPP was established. In 1999 and 2000, the 3G 1999 and 3G 2000 were put forward respectively.

MAP GSM 29.002

The mobile application part (MAP) protocol defines how messages are exchanged between CDMA network entities for the purpose of realizing the MS roaming function. The involved network entities include the MSC Server, VLR, SGSN, HLR, SMC and GMLC.

In the UMTS network, the C, D, E, G, Lg and L interfaces can all transfer MAP messages. The MAP protocol at the C and D interfaces implements signaling interaction of the following services:

• Location registration• Authentication• Subscriber management• Fault recovery (user data recovery during PRN)• Call handling (routing information and roaming number retrieval)• Supplementary service • PSI (provide subscriber information)

Page 34: Guide to GSM and WCDMA Protocols

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 34HUAWEI Confidential

Structure of E Interface Protocol Stack

When related mobile signaling is transferred on the E interface, the MAP protocol stack is adopted. The MAP protocol implements signaling interaction of the following services:

• Inter-office handover

• SMS transfer

When traffic data is transferred on the E interface, the TUP/ISUP protocol stack is adopted.

BICC ProtocolThe bearer independent call control protocol (BICC) is a bearer-unspecific call control protocol used in the backbone network. It is used in data networks including the ATM network and IP network to bear the PSTN/ISDN service comprehensively. Therefore, BICC is considered as an important tool to facilitate the change from the traditional telecommunication network to the multi-service integration platform.

The control part and bearer part are separated in BICC. That is, BICC does not directly control the media resources (ATM and IP), but controls them through standard bearer control protocol (H.248 protocol).

BICC is developed based on the narrowband ISUP protocol. It can be considered as a version that comes out of narrowband ISUP protocol with the detailed circuit control part deleted. However, it can never be compatible with the ISUP protocol.

Theoretically, BICC can be used in all types of signal transport protocol stack to provide bearer-unspecific call control.

The BICC protocol includes the ITU-T recommendations Q.1902, Q.2150 and Q.765.

The CAMEL application part (CAP) is developed based on the INAP protocol used in the wired intelligent network. CAP supports the CAMEL service by enabling the signaling interaction between functional entities (GSM SSF, GSM SRF and GSM SCF) of the wireless intelligent network (WIN). CAP is part of the SS7, belonging to the user part of the transaction capability application part (TCAP). It uses the structured/unstructured conversation capability provided by the TCAP to realize the signaling interaction between different entities.Recommendations:• ETSI /3GPP CAMEL Phase1, Phase2, Phase 3 and Phase 4• TS 23.078 (SSF/SCF) • TS 23.018(Call flow) • TS 29.078 (CAP)
