6.8 PTM-M Data Transfer
03.643GPPGeneral Packet Radio Service (GPRS)Overall description of the GPRS radio interfaceStage 2TS
NOTE: The stage 3 specification for PTM-M data transfer is left for phase 2 of GPRS specification.
PTM-M data, in the form of individual LLC frames, is mapped into RLC/MAC-PTM_DATA primitive and distributed from SGSN to the BSS representing the cells that are defined by a geographical area parameter. To the cells concerned, the BSS for each PTM-M LLC frame:
– Optionally, sends a “PTM-M new message" indicator on all individual paging channels on PCCCH if allocated, otherwise on CCCH. The indication refers to a PTM-M notification channel PNCH on PCCCH or NCH on CCCH, where a notification for the new PTM-M message can be received.
If the indicator option is not supported, or if an MS can not receive the indicator when expected, e.g. because the corresponding block in the multiframe structure is used for other purposes than paging, the MS must read the notification channel.
– Sends a PTM-M notification on PNCH or NCH. The notification has the form of a Packet Resource Assignment for the PTM-M LLC frame. The notification includes a group identity IMGI, a unique LLC frame identifier (in the form of an N-PDU number together with a segment offset, see GSM 04.65) and an allocation of a TFI to be used in all RLC blocks of the LLC frame.
– Transmits the PTM-M LLC frame on the assigned downlink resources.
Transfer of PTM-M data is carried out without any ARQ on the RLC/MAC and LLC layers. Instead, each LLC frame is retransmitted a specified number of times. For each retransmission, the above procedure is performed. The PTM-M notification (resource assignment) includes the unique LLC frame identifier as in the first transmission but a new allocation of TFI.
An MS accumulates correctly received RLC blocks from each transmission to assemble an LLC frame.
The dimensioning of PNCH shall be scaleable depending on capacity requirements.
An NCH may, if capacity allows, be used as a shared notification channel for PTM-M and Advanced Speech Call Items (ASCI).
An MS only interested in PTM-M needs to listen only to PNCH/NCH.
