Legend:
Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP): This transmission functionality maps higher-level
characteristics onto the characteristics of the underlying radio-interface protocols. PDCP provides protocol
transparency for higher-layer protocols. PDCP supports e.g., IPv4, PPP, OSP, and IPv6. Introduction of
new higher-layer protocols shall be possible without any changes to the radio-interface protocols. PDCP
provides protocol control information compression. PDCP is specified in TS 125 323 [4].
NOTE: Unlike in GPRS, user data compression is not supported in UMTS, because the data compression
efficiency depends on the type of user data, and because many applications compress data before
transmission. It is difficult to check the type of data in the PDCP layer, and compressing all user data
requires too much processing.
GPRS Tunnelling Protocol for the user plane (GTP-U): This protocol tunnels user data between
UTRAN and the 3G-SGSN, and between the GSNs in the backbone network. All PDP PDUs shall be
encapsulated by GTP. GTP is specified in TS 129 060 [5].
UDP/IP: These are the backbone network protocols used for routeing user data and control signalling.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM): The information to be transmitted is divided into fixed-size cells
(53 octets), multiplexed, and transmitted. ATM is specified in ITU-T Recommendation I.361 [7]. [FFS: add
AAL5 description.]
Radio Link Control (RLC): The RLC protocol provides logical link control over the radio interface. There
may be several simultaneous RLC links per MS. Each link is identified by a Bearer Id. RLC is defined in
TS 125 322 [6].
Medium Access Control (MAC): The MAC protocol controls the access signalling (request and grant)
procedures for the radio channel. MAC is specified in TS 125 321 [8].

deactivation, as described in clause "PDP Context Activation, Modification, and Deactivation Functions".
SMS supports the mobile-originated and mobile-terminated short message service described in TS 123
040 [9].
Radio Access Network Application Protocol (RANAP): This protocol encapsulates and carries higher-
layer signalling, handles signalling between the 3G-SGSN and UTRAN, and manages the GTP
connections on the Iu interface. RANAP is specified in TS 125 413[10]. The layers below RANAP are
defined in TS 123 121 [11].
Radio Link Control (RLC): The RLC protocol offers logical link control over the radio interface for the
transmission of higher layer-signalling messages and SMS. RLC is defined in 3G TS 25.322.

PDP CONTEXT REQUEST
GSM selection BS 70
criteria:
IP selection criteria: None
Test purpose: If the UE is attached, then the Detach Request is originated from the UE indicating
"GPRS detach without switching off". The network responds with a Detach Accept after
completing the security mode procedures. A PDP context activation is then requested by
the user. The PS attach (ATTACH REQUEST) is then indirectly caused by a requested
PDP context activation. The SS returns the ATTACH ACCEPT message to the UE. Now
session management can proceed with PDP context activation.
On receipt of the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST message an ACTIVATE PDP
CONTEXT ACCEPT is returned by the SS with the same requested QoS.
The GGSN may further restrict QoS Negotiated given its capabilities and the current
load. If the QoS offered by the network is acceptable to the mobile, then upon receipt of
the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT message the MS shall initiate establishment of
the logical link with the offered QoS.
An external IP application is started defined with PIXIT values.
Ensure that the PDP PDU transfer with the offered parameters is performed correctly.
Verify if the requested QoS parameters in the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT
message are kept on the routed PDP PDUs.

Comments: PDP context activation shall initiate PS Attach by the UE to establish a GMM context,
when the UE is PS Detached.
In order to request a PDP context activation, the UE sends an ACTIVATE PDP
CONTEXT REQUEST message to the network, enters the state PDP-ACTIVE-
PENDING and starts timer T3380. The message contains the selected NSAPI, PDP
type, requested QoS and, if the UE requests a static address, the PDP address.
If the QoS offered by the network is the same as the QoS requested by the UE, then
upon receipt of the message ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT the UE shall stop
timer T3380.
In GSM, the MS shall initiate establishment of the logical link for the LLC SAPI indicated
by the network with the offered QoS and selected radio priority level if no logical link has
been already established for that SAPI.
In UMTS, both the network and the MS shall store the LLC SAPI and the radio priority in
the PDP context.
A UE, which is capable of operating in both GSM and UMTS, shall use a valid LLC SAPI,
while a UE which is capable of operating only in UMTS shall indicate the LLC SAPI value
as "LLC SAPI not assigned" in order to avoid unnecessary value range checking and
any other possible confusion in the network.
