4 General Architecture
The Adaptation Layer allows the Physical, Radio Link Control (RLC), and Media Access Control (MAC) layers of the terrestrial UMTS radio interface (Uu) between the RNC and UE to be replaced with their equivalents from the satellite network radio interface. The Adaptation Layer is a direct replacement for Radio Resource ...

5.1 Services Provided to Upper Layers
The UE Adaptation Layer (AL) provides message transport and event notification services to the UMTS Layer 3 Mobility Management sublayer (GPRS Mobility Management (GMM), Mobility Management (MM), and Radio Access Bearer Management (RABM)) in the Non-Access Stratum via the Service Access Points (SAPs) defined in ETSI TS...

5.2 Services Expected from Lower Layers
The UE Adaptation Layer uses message transport services provided by the Bearer Connection layer to communicate with its peer in the RNC through two Service Access Points, as shown in Figure 5.2: • Common Signalling Service Access Point (COM-SAP) • UE-Specific Signalling Service Access Point (SIG-SAP). The SIG-SAP is a ...

5.3.0 General
The Adaptation Layer in the UE contains four classes of agent: • Registration Manager (REGM); • GMM Service Access Point Handler (GMMH); • MM Service Access Point Handler (MMH); and • Radio Bearer Control (RBC). There is one instance each of REGM, GMMH, and MMH and two instances of RBC (one for the PS domain and one fo...

5.3.4 Radio Bearer Control (RBC)
RBC handles all signalling related to the establishment, modification, and release of radio bearers. RBC configures user plane protocol layers (such as PDCP and CSH) and agents and also provides resource assignment notification services to NAS agents (e.g. RABM and also MM via the MMH), as shown in Figure 5.6. RBC uses...

5.3.5 SIG-SAP Router (SSR)
The Adaptation Layer contains a routing function at the SIG-SAP for Protocol Data Units (PDUs) exchanged between peer-to-peer AL agents. The SIG-SAP router is also responsible for the integrity protection of all dedicated signalling messages (see clause 7.1). Routing between the SIG-SAP and AL agents is based on the 'A...
