This information field indicates the medium access mode to be used during the TBF.

0 Dynamic Allocation
1 Extended Dynamic Allocation

TBF Starting Time
The TBF Starting Time field contains a starting time that indicates the frame number during which the assigned TBF may start.

If no downlink TBF is in progress, the mobile station need not monitor the TFI field of downlink RLC data blocks until the indicated TDMA frame number. After the indicated TDMA frame number, the mobile station shall apply the new downlink parameters and then operate as during a downlink TBF. If a downlink TBF is already in progress, the mobile station shall continue to use the parameters of the existing TBF until the TDMA frame number occurs. When the indicated TDMA frame number occurs, the mobile station shall immediately begin to use the new downlink parameters assigned.

In case of dynamic allocation, if no uplink TBF is in progress, the MS need not monitor the USF field until the TDMA frame number occurs. When the indicated TDMA frame number occurs, the mobile station shall immediately begin to monitor the USF field and use the new assigned uplink TBF parameters when its USF has occurred. If an uplink TBF is already in progress, the MS shall continue to use the parameters of the existing TBF until the TDMA frame number occurs. When the indicated TDMA frame number occurs, the mobile station shall immediately begin to monitor the USF field and use the new assigned uplink TBF parameters when its USF has occurred.

In case of fixed allocation, if no uplink TBF is in progress, the MS shall wait until the TDMA frame number occurs, and then shall use the assigned uplink resources from the indicated TDMA frame number forward, according to the parameters in the fixed allocation struct. If an uplink TBF is in progress, the MS shall continue to use the parameters of the existing TBF until the TDMA frame number occurs. When the TDMA frame number occurs, the MS shall then use the assigned uplink resources from the indicated TDMA frame number forward, according to the parameters in the fixed allocation struct.

This field is encoded as the Starting Frame Number Description IE. See sub-clause 12.21
