4.4 CTS Radio interface
The CTS radio interface is based on the use of a modified GSM radio interface as specified in [5]. The concept is to construct a modified GSM radio interface which requires no change of ME hardware, only software need be changed. The modified GSM radio interface shall (on both uplink and downlink) only cause minimal di...

4.4.1 Adaptive Frequency Allocation
In order to minimise interference between CTS networks and GSM networks, an Adaptive Frequency Allocation (AFA) mechanism is adopted, where by the CTS FP chooses frequencies within a valid GFL where the up link and down link is interfered the least. The concept and the mechanisms used are described in more detail in [5...

4.4.2 Total Frequency Hopping
To reduce further the possibility of interference (with the GSM PLMNs and others CTS-FP/MS pairs) a Total Frequency Hopping (TFH) mechanism is adopted. The concept of TFH and the mechanisms used are described in more detail in [5].

4.4.3 CTS and GSM compatibility issues
CTS service cannot be offered to existing mobile implementations without a change of software. Compatibility issues for GSM mobiles which are not operating in CTS mode may be solved by two ways: • the CTS radio interface is designed in order to create minimum disturbance to existing mobile implementations as specified ...

4.5 CTS operational requirements
The CTS operator together with agreements from the GSM operator can define the coverage conditions under which CTS service can be offered to the subscriber. The following coverage conditions are identified: • GSM coverage from the DPLMN. That is to say where the coverage of the DPLMN meets the cell (re)selection criter...

The general reference model of the CTS service has the following additional network elements: • the CTS-HLR is the functional entity handling CTS-FP subscriptions; • the CTS-SN is the functional entity performing the communication with CTS-FP via the Cf interface which uses the fixed network as a bearer. The Cd' interf...

4.7.1 CTS System control
Control of the CTS operation depends of the frequency scenario of the country (or region) in which CTS service is to be provided.

4.7.2 GSM Operator control of CTS frequency list
One of the major concepts of CTS is the control of the frequencies for use by the CTS-FPs. The frequency allocation for CTS operation is termed the GFL (Generic Frequency List).

4.7.4 CTS system initialisation with DPLMN coverage and limited coverage
In order to avoid that the CTS service be too cumbersome to own, the initialisation of the CTS FP is such that the precise GFL for CTS operational purposes may be obtained sometime after CTS operation has been started. This means that for a short period of time the CTS-FP need not be using the GFL that is best suited t...

The CTS-FP SIM shall have a telephone number which is preloaded by the CTS operator when the service is subscribed. This Telephone number is used by the CTS-FP to call the CTS-SN. The CTS-SN can verify the validity of the subscription and perform authentication of the CTS-FP at this stage. The CTS-FP shall also perform...

4.7.4.2 Second stage CTS-FP initialisation (GFL confirmation)
As part of the signalling procedures the CTS-FP shall demand the CTS-MS to provide location information to the CTS‑FP see "9.1.2 Update of CTS FP frequencies". The CTS-FP stores this information and provides it to the CTS‑SN the next time the CTS-FP contacts the CTS-SN. The CTS-SN/CTS-FRA uses this information to alloc...

4.7.6.1 CTS FP GFL update
Subsequent GFL allocations need not involve the CTS-MS and can be made directly by dialogue between the CTS–FP and the CTS-SN. In order that frequency planning of the DPLMN can be taken into account when the GFL is updated the CTS-FP with the help of the CTS-MS(s) collects the identity of DPLMN cells which surround the...

Enrolment control at the CTS-FP can be controlled by the operator either: • pre-populating the SIM of the CTS FP with IMSI ranges; or • by the CTS-SN during signalling exchanges between the CTS-SN and CTS-FP. In each of the above cases the CTS-FP is given information as to the range of IMSI values [16 ranges] that the ...

4.10 De-enrolment of CTS MS from a CTS-FP
The CTS FP can receive a command to remove the enrolment of a specific CTS MS at any time see [4]. If the validity period for a particular CTS MS expires then the specific CTS MS shall become de-enrolled. De-enrolment can be commanded by either the CTS-FP subscriber or the CTS-SN.

CTS attachment is a procedure by which a CTS-MSs presence is made known to the CTS-FP. The attachment to a CTS-FP is made by the CTS-MS when the CTS-MS comes within coverage of the CTS-FP. The CTS Attach procedure shall replicate the protocol as expected as in GSM, with the exceptions to the local security procedures d...

9.4.3.2 CTS detachment
CTS detachment is a procedure by which a CTS-MSs non presence is made known to the CTS-FP. When a CTS-MS is attached the CTS-FP shall regularly ensure that the CTS-MS is within CTS-FP coverage, if the CTS-MS is found to be out of coverage the CTS-FP will mark the CTS-MS as detached. If the MCTS-MS is powered down withi...

9.6 Overview of signalling
Security procedures such as authentication, ciphering and key distribution are defined in order to protect the GSM network and the user communication. CTS operation is initialised by downloading operation control information into the CTS-FP. The operator can change and de-activate CTS operation via the GSM Radio Interf...

10.1.1 CTS Fixed Part
CTS Fixed Part (CTS-FP) is the logical and physical element, which provides the link to the access network. For this purpose it controls on the one side one or more CTS Radio Interface and on the other side one or more access network interface. The interworking between both interfaces is implemented in the CTS-FP inter...

10.1.2 CTS Mobile Station
The CTS Mobile Station (CTS-MS) is the logical and physical element which provides to the user cordless access to the fixed network or the GSM network. The CTS-MS consists of GSM Mobile Equipment and a GSM-SIM, both with additional CTS capabilities. Figure 18: The CTS-MS and its main functional entities

10.1.3 CTS controlling and supporting network entities
In order to control and support the CTS, the following functional entities are situated in the GSM network: • the CTS-AuC is the functional entity for performing authentication of the CTS-FP SIM; • the CTS-HLR is the functional entity which contains the data base of the CTS-FP subscribers of the CTS operator. This data...

10.2.1 CTS Radio Interface (Um*)
The CTS Radio Interface is used for local communication between CTS MS and the CTS FP. It provides a cordless connection between these two elements. This interface is referred to as Um* in the CTS specifications. According to GSM 02.56 [2], the CTS Radio Interface is a modified GSM Radio Interface. CTS is to operate in...

10.2.2 GSM Radio Interface (Um)
On the GSM Radio Interface the CTS-MS shall behave according to the GSM standards. As required in GSM 02.56 [2], means of the GSM Radio Interface shall be used to exchange information relevant for operation control of the CTS. User communication via the GSM Radio Interface is covered by the GSM specifications and not c...

10.2.3 CTS Access Network Interface
The Access Network Interface is the connection of the CTS-FP to the Fixed or mobile Network for user communication. According to GSM 02.56 [2], this interface shall also be used to transport information which is relevant for operation control. The Fixed Network Interface is referred to as Cf in the CTS specifications.
