Abbreviations and Explanations(1)
MAC: Medium Access Control
TBF: Temporary Block Flow. A Connection between PCU and MS for
unidirectional data transfer. An MS can have simultaneously one
uplink TBF and one downlink TBF. Data (LLC PDUs) and control
messages between PCU and MS are transfered in RLC/MAC blocks.
A TBF is released, when there is no more data to send.
TLLI: Temporary Logical Link Identifier. Used to address the MS
when TFI is not yet assigned.
TFI: Temporary Flow Identifier. Assigned for a TBF to address the MS.
Changed in reassignments.
USF: Uplink State Flag. Used to define, which MS has turn to send UL
data in a timeslot.

Abbreviations and Explanations(2)
(P)CCCH: (Packet) Common Control Channel
PACCH: Packet Associated Control Channel (control messages are sent
on channels assigned for the TBF)
MS: Mobile Station
MS RAC: MS Radio Access Capabilities (e.g. multislot class and
EGPRS capability)
TBF mode: A TBF is in GPRS or EGPRS mode. Concurrent UL and
DL TBFs are in the same mode. The mode cannot be changed during
a TBF.
RLC mode: ack or unack; in unack mode data is not retransmitted.
CS: Coding Scheme

MAC’s functionality (1)
• TBF establishments
• TBF reassignments (reallocations )
• TBF releases
• Timer monitoring of above procedures
• Resending of control messages if no reply is received from the MS
• Queueing of reallocation and establishment requests if the operation
cannot be started immediately (previous operation not finished)
• Data acknowledge messages
• Monitoring of data transfer (”bad frame” counters: missing UL data
blocks, missing DL acks)

MAC’s functionality (2)
• non-DRX timer support
• Reception of all the uplink RLC/MAC control blocks
• Paging message handling
• Suspension request handling
• PDCH release
• MAC sends PACKET PDCH RELEASE message on every
timeslot indicated by CHM
• Delayed UL TBF release (faster establishment of next DL TBF)
• Extended UL TBF Mode
• DL pending state 5s, following an abnormal TBF release (no new DL
TBF establishment during the pending state; minimize the break in
DL data flow during MS cell change)
Interfaces
• GUPDAT and PUBDAT (cell create and delete, cell parameters)
• PXSEND/PXRECE (data transfer between MAC and BTS with messages
bsc_data_request_s and bsc_data_indication_s)
• ABIPRB (paging; suspension; configuration parameters with
pcu_parameters_s)
• ABATOR/RLC (TBF establishment, release and reassignment; data acks)
• ABATOR/CHM (channel allocation, reallocation and release; scheduling
of control messages)
• ABATOR/PFH (frame transfer in UL direction with
mac_pfh_block_ind__r; indication of sent control messages)
• GBHTOR (paging; suspension; gbn_dl_flow_dealloc_req_s;
gbn_radio_status_req_s)
• RCGSTA (statistic counters; system level trace)

Cell and MS data
• When MAC receives pabi_trx_create_s message from
GUPDAT/PUBDAT, MAC adds the cell in its cell database and
stores the information received with the message.
• When MAC receives pabi_trx_delete_s message from
GUPDAT/PUBDAT, MAC releases all the active TBFs in the cell
and removes the cell from its cell database
• When a TBF is established for a new MS, an MS data record is
reserved from a list of free records and it is attached to the cell data
record.
• When an MS has no more TBFs, the MS data record is released and
inserted back to the list of free records. If non-DRX timer is
supported, the record is released when the timer expires.

pabi_trx_ack_s

RLC/MAC control messages
• CS1 used always.
• On UL direction the control messages shall fit in one RLC/MAC
block.
• On DL direction most of the control messages fit in one RLC/MAC
block. The messages can be segmented in two blocks, if the whole
message doesn’t fit in one block (e.g. direct coding of frequency
parameters used)

Uplink TBF establishments
• UL TBF establishment on PACCH (DL TBF exists, same TBF mode as DL)
• one phase access on PCCCH (multiple channel allocation possible, GRPS or EGPRS
TBF)
• two phase access on PCCCH (GPRS or EGPRS TBF)
• short access on PCCCH (MS has 1-8 RLC data blocks to send, 1 ch, GPRS or EGPRS
TBF)
• signalling access on PCCCH (as one phase access, 1 ch, GPRS or EGPRS TBF)
• one phase access on CCCH (only 1 channel allocation possible, GPRS or EGPRS
TBF)
• short access on CCCH (only 1 channel allocation possible, GPRS or EGPRS TBF)
• signalling access on CCCH (only 1 channel allocation possible, EGPRS TBF)
• two phase access on CCCH (GPRS or EGPRS TBF)
MAC/CHM may force the MS to make a two phase access regardless of what the MS
indicates in the channel request on (P)CCCH, if MS RAC information is needed to
make the allocation (e.g. BCCH band is overloaded).

can be established using the old DL resources.
• UL: MAC makes a delayed release, if no DL TBF exists. During
the delay a DL TBF can be established via UL.
