l The Circuit Identity Code parameter is used for the physical connection between the
BSC and the MSC.
l The Downlink DTX Flag parameter indicates whether discontinuous transmission is
allowed.
2. For details about the Channel Activation message, refer to 4 Immediate Assignment.
3. For details about the Channel Activation Acknowledge message, refer to 4 Immediate
Assignment.
4. Upon receiving the Channel Activation Acknowledge message, the BSC sends the MS an
Assignment Command message on the SDCCH and starts timer T3107. The Assignment
Command message carries the Channel Description, Power Command, and Channel Mode.
For details about these parameters, refer to the immediate assignment procedure.
5. Upon receiving the Assignment Command message from the BTS, the MS adjusts the
signaling to the TCH and sends the SABM frame on the FACCH. The SABM frame is the
first frame during the setup of multi-frame verification mode and does not carry layer 3
messages.
6. Upon receiving the SABM frame, the BTS responds to the MS with a UA frame on the
FACCH. The UA frame does not carry layer 3 messages.
7. Then the BTS sends the BSC an Establishment Indication message. The Establishment
Indication message does not carry layer 3 messages. The system responds with a UA
Acknowledgement frame.
8. Upon receiving the UA frame, the MS sends an Assignment Complete message on the
FACCH to notify the BSC of the channel assignment completion. Then it stops Timer
T3107.
9. The BSC sends the MSC the Assignment Complete message and stops timer T10. The
Assinment Complete message carries the Chosen Channel, Circuit Pool, and Speech
version. The meanings of the parameters are as follows:
l Chosen Channel
Inidicates the type of the assigned channel
l Circuit Pool
Indicates the circuit pool information
l Speech Version
Indicates the speech coding algorithm

whether the data services are supported. If not, the BSC responds with an Assignment
Failure message.
2. Based on the CIC in the Assignment Request message, the BSC checks the E1 timeslots
on the A interface and confirms the existence of CIC. It also checks whether the circuit
pool of the configured CIC, the channel type in the Assignment Request message, and the
capacity of the GDPUC are collided. If they are collided, the BSC responds with an
Assignment Failure message.
3. Upon receiving the Assignment Complete message from the MS, the BSC complements
the message with the A Interface Phase Flag and sends the message to the BSC. You can
choose BSC Property > Basic Data to display the A Interface Phase Flag.
Fault
Upon receiving the Assignment Request message, the BSC responds with an Assignment Failure
message.
Probable Causes
The probable causes are as follows:
1. Radio Interface Message Failure
The MS fails to access the speech channel. It sends an Assignment Failure message on the
signaling channel. Due to the particularity of the transmission on the Um interface, this
case happens the most frequently and cannot be solved.
2. Equipment Failure
The BSC hardware is faulty.
3. No Radio Resource Available
The BSC has no appropriate speech channels for assignment. The possible reason is that
all the speech channels are busy or that the speech channels are blocked.
4. Requested Terrestrial Resource Unavailable
5. Requested Transcoding/Rate Adaption Unavailable
6. Terrestrial Resource Already Allocated
7. Invalid Message Contents
Handling Suggestions
The respective handling suggestions are as follows:
l Check the access-related parameters of the antenna system, BTS boards, and BSC data
configuration.
l Check the following:
Communication between modules and subracks in the BSC
Communication on the A interface, for example, the cable connections between
GEIUAs and subracks
l Add TRXs to the BTS, modify the access threshold, and enable the directed retry.
l The circuits on the A interface on the BSC side are abnormal, for example, the CIC in the
Assignment Request message is not available. Check the consistency of the A interface
data on the MSC and the BSC. Check also the CIC state.
l Check the transmission on the A interface.
l Check whether the CIC configuration on the BSC and the MSC is consistent. If not,
manually reset the CIC on the LMT.
l Check whether the message conforms to the protocols.
l Check the environment quality on the Um interface. For example, check the quality of the
level.
l Check whether the BSC supports the requested speech version.
l Check whether the timeout value of timer T3107 is appropriate.
Fault
During the assignment procedure, the BSC receives a Connection Failure Indication message.
Probable Causes
The probable causes are as follows:
l Radio link failure
l Hardware failure
Handling Suggestions
The handling suggestions are as follows:
l Check the resources on the Um interface.
l Check the following:
Communication between subracks
Fault
During the assignment procedure, the BSC receives an Error Indication message.
Probable Causes
The probable causes are as follows:
l Protocol disconformity
l Link layer failure
l Timer T200 expiry
l MS failure in receiving a UA frame
Handling Suggestions
The respective handling suggestions are as follows:
l Check the contents of the frames at the data link layer.
l Check the status of the data link layer.
l Check the timeout value of timer T200.
l Check the contents of the SABM frame.
