Two concepts are useful in defining reference configura¬tions: reference points and functional groups. 2.2ÁÐÁà Ãfunctional groupsÄ Ä Ð ÐÁÐÁFunctional groups are sets of functions which may be needed in PLMN access arrangements. In a particular access arrangement, a specific function in a functional group may or may not be present. Note that a specific function in a functional group may be performed in one or more pieces of equip¬ment. 2.3ÁÐÁà Ãreference pointsÄ Ä Ð ÐÁÐÁReference points are the conceptual points dividing functional groups. In a specific access arrangement a reference point may correspond to a physical interface (e.g., Um) between pieces of equipment or there may not be any physical interface corresponding to the reference point. à Ã3Ä ÄÁÐÁà ÃSignalling reference configurationsÄ Ä Ð Ð3.1ÁÐÁThe reference configurations for the PLMN access define reference points and types of functions that can be provided. Figure 1/Q.1062 shows some of the signalling reference configurations. Ð Ð3.2ÁÐÁThe Sm signalling reference point is the demarcation between RF transmission management and the combined functions of call control and mobility management. Similarly, the Xm signalling reference point is the demarcation between call control and mobility management. Ð ÐÁÐÁThe mobile station © base station Recommendations apply to interfaces at reference point Um. These Recommendations are dependent on the pertaining RF transmission capabilities and will not be dealt with in this document. Ð ÐÁÐÁAt the reference point S, ISDN installations in accordance with I©Series Recommendations may be used. At reference point R, physical interfaces in accordance with other CCITT Recommendations (e.g. the X©Series interface Recommendations) may by used. Áà°NÁFIGURE 1/Q.1062ƒ Áà°UÁƒ Áà°DÁà ÃSignalling reference configurationsÄ Äƒ 3.3ÁÐÁThe list of functions for each functional group is given below. Ð Ð3.3.1Á° ÁThe RF transmission management block may perform functions similar to those of NT1, or combined NT1 and NT2 of the CCITT I©Series Recommendations. ÁÐÁIt may include functions for: ÁÐÁ©Á° Áradio transmission termination(s); and Ð ÐÁÐÁ©Á° Áupper layer protocol capabilities for radio transmission channel management. 3.3.2Á° ÁThe mobility management block may perform functions associated with: ÁÐÁ©Á° Álocation updating/registration; ÁÐÁ©Á° Áhandover coordination; and Ð ÐÁÐÁ©Âh° Âupper layer protocol capabilities for coordination functions between terminal equipment and RF transmission management.ÆÆ Ð Ð3.3.3Á° ÁA TEm may perform functions similar to those of the TE of the I©Series Recommendations. It may include functions for: ÁÐÁ©Á° ÁLayer 1 (physical) interface; ÁÐÁ©Á° ÁLayer 2 (data link) protocol handling; ÁÐÁ©Á° ÁLayer 3 protocol handling, and call control; ÁÐÁ©Á° Ámaintenance functions; and ÁÐÁ©Á° Áswitching and concentration (if applicable). Ð Ð3.3.4Á° ÁThe PLMN call control adaptation block includes signalling related functions belonging to Layer 1 and higher layers of the Recommendation X.200 reference model that allows a TE1 or TE2 terminal to be served by the digital PLMN. It may also include rate adaptation and flow control. à Ã4Ä ÄÁÐÁà ÃPhysical realization of reference configurationsÄ Ä Ð Ð4.1ÁÐÁMobile station implementations may require that the S, R, Xm and Sm reference points be com¬bined into a single physical entity, as in the case of a fully integrated mobile equipment. Ð ÐÁÐÁFigure 2/Q.1062 shows possible realizations and/or configurations of the reference points mentioned earlier. The examples shown are not exhaustive, but only serve to illustrate possible configurations of the respective functional blocks. Áà°NÁFIGURE 2/Q.1062ƒ Áà°UÁƒ Áà°EÁà ÃExamples of physical realizationsÄ Äƒ Ð Ð4.2ÁÐÁExample a) of Figure 2/Q.1062 illustrates a fully integrated equipment where the Xm and Sm reference points are logically identifiable, but physically do not exist. Ð Ð4.3ÁÐÁExample b) of Figure 2/Q.1062 illustrates the S reference point with respect to a CCITT TE1. In this example the PLMN call control adaptation function is integrated with the remaining blocks as in a). As before the Xm and Sm reference points only bear logical significance. Ð Ð4.4ÁÐÁExample c) of Figure 2/Q.1062 illustrates the same configuration as in b), but now a CCITT TE2 is provided at reference point R. The PLMN call control adaptation procedures are distinct with respect to the one identified in b), but nonetheless the functionality is the same as mentioned earlier.
