2 Overview of A Interface Protocol Process
2 Overview of A Interface Protocol Process

A Interface Protocol Process, a basic signaling function stipulated in 3GPP specifications, is supported
by Huawei GSM BSS.
The processing of A interface signaling and protocol of Huawei GSM BSS is compliant with international
standard protocols, and thus Huawei GSM BSS equipment can interconnect with the MSC from other
vendors.
Telecom operators can compare the MSCs from different vendors and invite bids accordingly, thus
avoiding monopolization and reduce operation expenditure (OPEX).

3 A Interface Protocol Process

3.1 Overview of A Interface Protocol Process
The underlying transport mechanism defined to carry signalling information between the BSS and the
MSC is the Message Transfer Part (MTP), and the Signalling Connection Control Part (SCCP) of
Signalling System No.7.
The MTP and SCCP are used to support communication between the MSC and the conceptual entities
within the BSS, the BSS Application Part (BSSAP).The BSS Application Part is split into two sub
application parts, these are:
z
The Direct Transfer Application Part (DTAP);
The BSS Management Application Part (BSSMAP).
3.2 The Direct Transfer Application Part

The Direct Transfer Application Part (DTAP) is used to transfer call control and mobility management
messages between the MSC and the MS.
z
Mobility management (MM) messages consist of the messages related to the authentification, CM
service request, identification request, IMSI detach, location update, MM status, and TMSI
re-assignment.
Call control (CC) messages consist of the messages related to the alerting, call proceding, connection,
establishment, modification, release, disconnection, notification, status query, and DTMF startup.
The DTAP information in these messages is not interpreted by the BSS.
3.3 The BSS Management Application Part

The BSSMAP supports all of the procedures between the MSC and the BSS that require interpretation
and processing of information related to single calls, and resource management.
3.4 BSSMAP Procedures

This sub-clause describes the procedures used in the BSS Management Application Part. There are the
following main procedures:
Assignment
Blocking
Reset
Handover required indication
Handover resource allocation
Handover execution
Handover candidate enquiry
Release
Paging
Flow control
