GSM BSS
DTM Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
With the development of networks, the profit growth point of the operators is turning towards
data services. The simultaneous handling of speech service and data service becomes a new
demand. Generally, only the class A MS with complex hardware supports speech service and
data service simultaneously. However, few manufacturers can provide the class A MS due to its
complexity. As defined in 3GPP Technical Specifications, DTM is used to implement simplified
class A operation for an MS, that is, to support simultaneous speech service and data service.
After DTM is enabled, the subscribers can send images or browse web pages during a call.
In a 3G network, the speech and data services are processed in parallel. In this sense, DTM
enables the GSM subscribers to enjoy the services similar to those provided by the 3G network.
In addition, the 2G network can complement the 3G network in terms of coverage. After DTM
is enabled, the following applications can be introduced to create new revenue streams for GSM
operators:
l Videophone
Subscribers can enjoy uninterrupted data services during a speech service through the
Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR).
l Watching or downloading streaming programs
During web browsing, speech interaction or call answering is possible. The subscribers
may require the CS services while watching streaming programs. When DTM is enabled,
CS services can be performed without interrupting the streaming programs.
l Sending images or video during a call
Based on the multislot capability of the MS in DTM, the network can allocate different PDCHs
on the uplink or downlink to meet different bandwidth requirements. The DTM multislot classes
of an MS are classes 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 31,33, 36-38, and 41-44. DTM can be further classified into
the following types:
l DTM
An MS supports at least class 5 DTM.
l Class11 DTM
Compared with DTM, class 11 DTM doubles the uplink bandwidth of data services. It is
applicable to the uplink preferred services.
l HMC DTM
Compared with DTM, High Multislot Class (HMC) DTM further improves the uplink and
downlink bandwidth of data services.

GSM BSS
DTM Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
Due to the coexistence of CS and PS services, the requirements for measurement at the physical
layer (such as the measurement of timing advance and signal quality) are different. Currently,
the CS measurement report is considered.
The BSC indicates whether the network supports DTM in system information type 6 (SI6) and
SI13. The MS indicates whether it supports DTM in the information elements Classmark 3 and
Radio Access Capability.

GSM BSS
DTM Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description
3 Technical Description
3.1 Channel Operation Mode

To perform the CS and PS services simultaneously, two channel operation modes are defined
in the protocol: single slot operation and multislot operation.
In DTM single slot operation, the MS is assigned a timeslot for both the CS service and the PS
service. The channel combination TCH/H+PDCH/H is recommended in the 3GPP TS 23.060.
In this channel combination mode, the TCH/H must support AMR speech codec, and the PDCH/
H is exclusively used by an MS on the uplink and downlink. A suitable channel can be provided
more easily in single slot operation than in multislot operation.
In DTM multislot operation, the CS and PS services are transmitted on different timeslots. The
DTM multislot capability of an MS determines the number of PDCHs that can be used by the
MS. The channel combination mode recommended by the 3GPP TS 23.060 is TCH/H+PDCH/
F or TCH/F+PDCH/F. The data of multiple MSs can be multiplexed on the PDCH/F but cannot
be multiplexed on the PDCH/H. For channel allocation in DTM multislot operation, the DTM
multislot capability of an MS must be considered. Generally, the TCH is allocated first, and then
PDCHs adjacent to the TCH are allocated.
3.2 DTM Multislot Capability

The DTM multislot capability is different from the common multislot capability. Different MSs
may support different DTM capabilities and they need to be communicated to the network so
that they can be taken into account for the allocation of radio resources. The DTM multislot
capabilities are independent from the currently defined 3GPP TS 45.002 multislot capabilities.
When EGPRS is supported, DTM multislot capability for EGPRS operation (applicable also to
EGPRS2 operation if supported) is indicated independently from DTM multislot capability for
GPRS operation. According to the 3GPP TS 43.055, the DTM multislot classes are classes 5, 6,
9, 10, 11, 31,33, 36-38, and 41-44, and the classes higher than class 31 are called HMC DTM.
The higher the DTM multislot classes supported by the MSs and network devices, the higher
the uplink and downlink data rates that can be supported. Table 3-1 lists the multislot capabilities
corresponding to DTM multislot classes 31,33.

GSM BSS
Table 3-1 HMC multislot capabilities

HMC DTM Maximum Maximum Maximum
Number of Number of Uplink Number of
Downlink Timeslots Concurrent
Timeslots Uplink and
Downlink
Timeslots
31 5 2 6
33 5 4 6
For an MS of multislot class 33, the extended dynamic allocation (EDA) function must be
enabled if the MS requires more than two PDCHs on the uplink.
NOTE
EDA is based on dynamic allocation on the uplink. It enables more uplink timeslots to be allocated to an
MS, increasing the uplink throughput. After the EDA function is enabled, the network allocates multiple
uplink timeslots to an MS, and the MS listens to all the PDCHs corresponding to the allocated timeslots.
If the MS detects that an uplink state flag (USF) is allocated to itself on an allocated PDCH, the MS can
use the uplink blocks corresponding to this PDCH and other allocated PDCHs with larger timeslot numbers.
After the EDA function is enabled, a maximum of four uplink PDCHs can be allocated to a single MS. For
details about EDA and uplink dynamic allocation, see Extended Dynamic Allocation Mode and Dynamic
Allocation Mode respectively.
To reduce the length of the coding, incremental support is defined in the protocol, that is, an MS
that supports a certain multislot class should support the less restrictive DTM multislot
classes. Figure 3-1 shows the maximum number of timeslots for DTM multislot classes 5, 6, 9,
10, and 11. The blue parts indicate the DTM multislot classes, and the arrow indicates the
compatibility direction. For example, if an MS supports class 11, the MS can support classes
10, 9, 6, and 5.
Figure 3-1 Incremental support of DTM multislot classes

GSM BSS
To provide higher data rates for PS services in DTM, the 3GPP defines the HMC DTM. Figure
3-2 shows the maximum timeslot configuration in HMC DTM. Huawei BSC supports HMC
DTM classes 31,33.
An HMC DTM-capable MS also uses incremental support and supports the DTM multislot
classes. For example, an MS of multislot class 33 supports the channel combination for multislot
classes 31, 11, 9, and 5.
Figure 3-2 Incremental support of HMC DTM
3.3 Channel Allocation

In DTM, an MS can occupy one TCH and one or more PDCHs simultaneously. The allocation
of TCHs and PDCHs should comply with the DTM multislot class defined for the MS.
The BSC can allocate the combination of TCH/F+PDCH/F or TCH/F+PDCH/F to the MS. The
data of multiple MSs can be multiplexed on one PDCH/F. DTM CS services can adopt all the
supported speech coding schemes.
The principles for allocating channels to an MS in DTM are as follows:
l Full-rate or half-rate channels are allocated for CS services.

GSM BSS
l When all the other conditions are met, a TCH adjacent to the PDCH is preferably allocated.
l In DTM, the PDCH/F can be shared with other GRPS MSs.
l The QoS of GPRS/EGPRS services in DTM can be guaranteed.
DTM
When SUPPORTDTM is set to Support, the BSC supports multislot classes 5, 6, 9, and 10.
Multislot classes 6 and 10 are treated exactly as DTM multislot classes 5 and 9 respectively.
Higher multislot classes are treated exactly as DTM multislot class 9. For an MS of DTM
multislot class 5, the BSC allocates a maximum of one PDCH on the uplink or downlink, that
is, TCH + 1 PDCH (uplink) + 1 PDCH (downlink). For an MS of DTM multislot class 9, the
BSC allocates a maximum of two PDCHs on the downlink, that is, TCH + 1 PDCH (uplink) +
2 PDCHs (downlink). Regardless of the multislot capability of an MS, the BSC allocates only
one PDCH on the uplink for the MS. Figure 3-3 shows the channel allocation.
Figure 3-3 Channel allocation in DTM
Class 11 DTM (GBFD-119403 Class11 DTM)

When CLASS11DTM is set to Support, an MS of DTM class 11 supports three types of channel
combination: channel combination of DTM class 5, channel combination of DTM class 9, and
TCH + 1 PDCH (downlink) + 2 PDCHs (uplink). If the EDA function is enabled, the MS also
supports the channel combination of TCH + 1 PDCH (downlink) + 2 PDCHs (uplink). An MS
of DTM class 11 supports uplink preferred services better. Figure 3-4 shows the channel
allocation of DTM class 11.

GSM BSS
Figure 3-4 Channel allocation of DTM class 11
HMC DTM (GBFD-119404 HMC DTM)

The classes higher than class 31 are called HMC DTM. When HMCDTM is set to Support, an
MS in a call can occupy a maximum of three PDCHs on both the uplink and downlink. That is,
the channels allocated to the MS can be TCH + 3 PDCHs (downlink) + 1 PDCH (uplink) or
TCH + 1 PDCH (downlink) + 3 PDCHs (uplink). For an MS of DTM multislot class 33, the
EDA function must be enabled if the MS requires more than three PDCHs on the uplink. Figure
3-5 shows the channel allocation of HMC DTM.
Figure 3-5 Channel allocation of HMC DTM
3.4 Using the Main DCCH to Transmit GPRS Signaling in

Dedicated Mode
When DTM is supported, the MS can send or receive GPRS signaling (such as GMM signaling
generated during cell update or routing area update) in CS dedicated mode. One method to
achieve this is that the MS first enters the DTM to establish the uplink TBF and downlink TBF.
After transmitting the GPRS signaling, the MS leaves the DTM and enters the dedicated mode
again. This method is time consuming and decreases the channel resource usage because PS
resources need to be requested first.
The other method is to use the main DCCH to transmit the GRPS signaling in dedicated mode.
This method can accelerate the GPRS signaling transmission and increase the channel resource
usage. When the MS is in dedicated mode, the GPRS signaling is encapsulated as LLC PDU

GSM BSS
according to the LLC protocols, and then the LLC PDU is sent to the RR protocol entity for
processing. The detailed procedure is as follows:
l In the uplink, the LLC PDU is inserted in a new Layer 3 message. This Layer 3 message
containing the protocol identifier GPRS Transparent Transport Protocol (GTTP) is sent to
the BSC on the main DCCH, with the existing Layer 2 mechanisms. The BSC extracts the
Temporary Logical Link Identity (TLLI) and the LLC PDU, which are then encapsulated
into a BSSGP UL-UNITDATA.
l In the downlink, when receiving a BSSGP PDU, the BSC can identify whether the PDU
contains signaling information. If the length of the LLC PDU meets the requirements and
the BSC has an RR connection to the addressed MS with the International Mobile Station
Identification Code (IMSI), the GPRS signaling is sent on the main DCCH.
See Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6 Using the main DCCH to transmit GPRS signaling in dedicated mode
The restrictions on using the main DCCH to transmit GPRS signaling in dedicated mode are as
follows:
l The MS must be in dedicated mode rather than in DTM.
l The main DCCH can transmit the GPRS signaling, but not the GPRS data.
l The number of LAPDm frames disassembled from the GPRS signaling message must be
smaller than a certain value specified by the network. The value is determined by the
MAX_LAPDm in SI6. MAX_LAPDm has three bits and its value ranges from 5 to 12. By
default, MAX_LAPDm is 5.
3.5 DTM Services

DTM MS is also called simple class A MS. Compared with the traditional class B MS, the simple
class A MS supports DTM besides the dedicated mode, idle mode, packet idle mode, and packet
transfer mode. The DTM MS can have CS and PS connections simultaneously.
When the enhanced CS establishment and release are not supported, the DTM MS cannot transit
between DTM and packet transfer mode, that is, the DTM MS must release the PS resources at

GSM BSS
CS establishment and release and re-establishes a new TBF. Therefore, the PS services are
interrupted temporarily.
As shown in Figure 3-7, a DTM class A MS can request a PS connection through the signaling
channel established for the CS connection to enter the DTM if the MS is in CS dedicated mode.
If a DTM class A MS is in packet transfer mode, the MS should release the TBF before it enters
the CS dedicated mode. Then, the MS should re-establish a TBF to enter the DTM.
Figure 3-7 Conversion between RR modes of class A MS
3.5.1 DTM Establishment

Uplink PS Establishment in Dedicated Mode
In dedicated mode, if the BSS and MS support DTM, the MS can send the DTM Request message
on the main DCCH to establish the uplink PS connection. If the BSS need not re-allocate CS
resources (the original TCHs can be used to carry speech in DTM), it sends a Packet Assignment
message to allocate PS resources to the MS.
Figure 3-8 Uplink PS establishment in dedicated mode without reallocating CS resources

GSM BSS
If the BSS needs to reallocate the CS resources when allocating PS resources (DTM channel
allocation is not appropriate due to existing channel distribution), the BSS sends a DTM
Assignment Command message on the main DCCH to the MS after reallocating the CS
resources. If the MS successfully establishes the new CS connection, it sends an Assignment
Complete message on the new main DCCH. If the MS fails to establish the new CS connection,
it sends an Assignment Failure message on the old main DCCH.
Figure 3-9 Uplink PS establishment in dedicated mode with CS resources reallocated
Downlink PS Establishment in Dedicated Mode

In dedicated mode, if the MS is in the GMM Ready state, the BSS needs to establish a downlink
TBF after receiving the downlink PDU from the SGSN. If the BSS does not need to reallocate
the CS resources, it sends a Packet Assignment message on the main DCCH to the MS.
If the BSS needs to reallocate the CS resources when allocating PS resources, the BSS sends a
DTM Assignment Command message on the new main DCCH to the MS after reallocating the
CS resources. If the MS successfully establishes the new CS connection, it sends an Assignment
Complete message on the new main DCCH. If the MS fails to establish the new CS connection,
it sends an Assignment Failure message on the old main DCCH. The procedure for re-
establishing the downlink PS connection between network elements is the same as the procedure
for re-establishing the uplink PS connection.
Figure 3-10 Downlink PS establishment in dedicated mode and GMM ready state
If the MS is in dedicated mode and GMM standby state, the BSS sends a Packet Notification
message on the main DCCH to the MS after receiving the packet paging from the SGSN. The
MS sends an LLC frame as a response to the packet paging. The SGSN starts to send the downlink
information after receiving the paging response from the MS.

GSM BSS
Figure 3-11 Downlink PS establishment in dedicated mode and GMM standby state
CS Establishment in Packet Transfer Mode

In packet transfer mode, either the MS or the network may initiate a CS connection establishment.
In both cases, the packet session must be aborted before the establishment of the CS connection
is initiated. The PS connection is then established through the main DCCH of the CS resources.
3.5.2 DTM Release

In DTM, if the CS connection is released, the MS must abandon the PS resources.
In the duration of CS services in DTM, if the last TBF is released for an MS, the MS enters the
dedicated mode.
3.5.3 Handover in DTM

The decision on when to change the serving cell of a DTM MS is made through the CS
measurement report. The handover of the CS call and the cell change for the PS transfer must
be performed at the same time. If the DTM handover is not supported, CS handovers may
interrupt PS services.
In an intra-cell handover, the MS leaves the DTM, enters the dedicated mode on the new CS
resource, and then enter the DTM again. In an inter-cell handover, the MS leaves DTM, enters
the dedicated mode in the new cell, reads the system information messages sent on the SACCH,
and then make a cell or RA update and enter the DTM again in the new cell.
In DTM mode, more restrictions are imposed on CS handovers to retain the continuity of CS
and PS services and to protect CS handovers from interrupting PS services.
When DTMCSHOOPTSW is set to NO(No), only the forced handover, emergency handover,
and fast movement handover are allowed.
When DTMCSHOOPTSW is set to YES(Yes), CS handovers caused by the following reasons

are not allowed:
l Cell load sharing

l Traffic sharing in a concentric cell or enhanced dual-band network
l TCHF-to-TCHH handover due to high cell load, TCHF-to-TCHH handover due to
insufficient Abis links, and TCHH-to-TCHF handover due to low cell load

GSM BSS
l TCHF-to-TCHH, TCHH-to-TCHF, TCH-to-SDCCH, and SDCCH-to-TCH handovers due

to channel dynamic adjustment
l Channel repacking
3.5.4 Paging Coordination

The BSC can control the paging response of an MS through the paging coordination function
rather than through the setting of the NMO parameter. This enables the MS to enter the DTM
to establish CS connection and PS connection simultaneously.
l When an MS is in packet transfer mode, the BSC can send the CS Paging message on the
PACCH even if the NMO parameter is set to Network Operation Mode II or Network
Operation Mode III. Therefore, the MS does not miss any CS Paging message.
l When an MS is in dedicated mode and the system supports DTM, the BSC sends the Packet
Notification message on the main DCCH after receiving the PS Paging message. Therefore,
the MS does not miss any PS Paging message.
3.5.5 Mobility Management

If a DTM-capable MS is in dedicated mode, it can perform cell update, RA update, and location
area (LA) update on the main DCCH to reduce the load of packet resources. If LLC PDUs cannot
be transmitted on the main DCCH, they are transmitted on TBFs.
If a DTM-capable MS is in idle mode and is moving from one LA to another, it can perform the
combined RA and LA update in Network Operation Mode I, or perform the parallel LA and RA
updates in Network Operation Mode II or Network Operation Mode III.
When an RA update is completed before an LA update:
l If DTMUPDATEOPTITYPE is set to RAU ACC Send Delay,the BSC sends an RA

Update Accept message to the MS in downlink packet immediate assignment only after
the SDCCH is released.
l If DTMUPDATEOPTITYPE is set to SDCCH Release Delay, the BSC sends an RA
Update Accept message to the MS on the SDCCH. If the BSC receives a DTM Request
message on the SDCCH, the BSC delays in releasing the SDCCH.
l If DTMUPDATEOPTITYPE is set to No Delay, the BSC releases the SDCCH and delivers
the RA Update Accept message in a timely manner.
Figure 3-12 Mobile management procedure when an RA update is complete before an LA update

GSM BSS
If an LA update is complete before an RA update, the BSC sends an RA Update Accept message
on the downlink TBF to be established in downlink packet immediate assignment because the
SDCCH has been released.

Parameter Settings
After a cell is enabled with DTM, it is recommended that the early classmark sending control
(ECSC) be set to Yes.
Function Limitations
Currently, the following functions associated with DTM are not supported:
l Single slot operation mode
l Extended DTM multislot capability
l Enhanced CS establishment and release
l DTM handover
To enable DTM, the following conditions must be met:
l DTM requires the support of the BSC, MS, MSC, and SGSN. In addition, the MSC must
support the COMMON ID message.
l DTM is used in built-in PCU configuration mode rather than in external PCU configuration
mode.
l In an extended cell, DTM is not supported due to the limitation of the MS multislot
capability.
l DTM is not supported in a cell where the queuing function is enabled.
l In DTM, NC2 is not supported because GPRS measurement reports are not reported.
Impact on KPIs
l In DTM, MSs must be allocated consecutive TCHs and PDCHs during channel allocation
for PS services. The counters related to uplink and downlink TBF establishments include
the measurement of DTM services. Therefore, when DTM is enabled, Uplink TBF
Establishment Success Rate and Downlink TBF Establishment Success Rate decrease, and
Uplink TBF Congestion Rate and Downlink TBF Congestion Rate increase. To obtain the
KPIs related to TBF establishments when DTM is not enabled in a cell, subtract the counters
related to uplink and downlink TBF establishments for DTM services from the counters
related to uplink and downlink TBF establishments.
l If an MS in DTM experiences a CS call handover or release, the PS service processed by
the MS is released. The counters related to uplink and downlink TBF call drops include the

GSM BSS
DTM Feature Parameter Description 4 Engineering Guidelines
measurement of DTM services. Therefore, when DTM is enabled, Uplink TBF Drop Rate
and Downlink TBF Drop Rate increase. To obtain the KPIs related to TBF call drops when
DTM is not enabled in a cell, subtract the counters related to uplink and downlink TBF call
drops for DTM services from the counters related to uplink and downlink TBF call drops.
Requirements on the license

l DTM can be enabled only after you apply for a resource item license.
