4.3.1 The hand-over procedure
The GSM connection is heterogeneous and merges PCM links and radio path as a unit for the user. One of the most specific characteristics of the mobile networks is the hand-over procedure (see GSM 03.09, 04.08, 05.08, 08.08) which result in a temporary break of the TCH, and consequently in a loss of information. The GSM...

5.1 Introduction
A GSM PLMN provides a set of network capabilities which enable telecommunication services to be offered to a user. A GSM PLMN connection is a connection established between GSM PLMN reference points. A GSM PLMN connection type is a way of referring to and describing a GSM PLMN connection. Thus a GSM PLMN connection is ...

5.2 Purpose of GSM PLMN connection types
The definition of a set of GSM PLMN connection types provides the necessary input to identify the network capabilities of a GSM PLMN. Other key requirements of a GSM PLMN are contained in other GSM specifications, in particular GSM 03.01, 04.01 and 04.02. In addition to describing network capabilities of a GSM PLMN, th...

5.3 Functions associated with a GSM PLMN connection
Any GSM PLMN connection involves an association of functions to support telecommunication services as shown in figure 3. Three sets of functions are required. i) Connection means - including transmission and switching. ii) Control functions and protocols - including signalling, flow/congestion control and routing funct...

5.5 GSM PLMN connection involving several networks
A GSM PLMN connection may comprise a number of tandem network connections. Figure 5 shows an example in which each end network is a GSM PLMN. The intermediate network(s) must offer the appropriate network capabilities for the service provided by the (overall) GSM PLMN connection. In (overall) GSM PLMN connections invol...

6.1 Description of GSM PLMN connection types
The characterization of GSM PLMN connection types is done by using a set of attributes. A GSM PLMN connection type attribute is a specific characteristic of a GSM PLMN connection type whose values distinguish it from another GSM PLMN connection type. Particular values are assigned to each attribute when a given GSM PLM...

6.1.1 Rate adaptation
The RA0 rate adaptation is only used with asynchronous interfaces. Incoming asynchronous data is padded by the addition of stop elements to fit the same or nearest higher synchronous rate defined by 2 to the power n (where n≤ 6) times 600 bit/s, 14.4 kbit/s or 28.8 kbit/s. Thus both 75 and 300 bit/s user data signallin...

6.1.2 Radio Link Protocol
The Radio Link Protocol (RLP) is a layer 2 LAPB based protocol which performs grouping of user data for the purpose of implementing error control and retransmission mechanisms in the case of non-transparent low layer capabilities. The RLP layer is in charge of the transmission of the data compression parameters to the ...

6.1.3 Layer 2 Relay function
The Layer 2 Relay function (L2R) performs protocol conversion between the user data structure (e.g. characters or X.25 Layer 2 frames) and a structure more adapted to the radio link protocol. This function is described in the relevant GSM 07-series specifications. The L2R function includes the data compression function...
