-规范定义了3种GPRS网络工作模式(I, II, 及 III),系统信息中指明了网络的实际工作模式,目前我省的网络工作模式为II,具体定义为:
Network operation mode II: the network sends a CS paging message for a GPRS-attached MS on the CCCH paging channel, and this channel is also used for GPRS paging. This means that the MS needs only to monitor the CCCH paging channel, but that CS paging continues on this paging channel even if the MS has been assigned a packet data channel.
-规范定义了3种GPRS MS工作模式(A, B, 及 C),目前市面上GPRS手机基本上为B模式手机(或称为B类手机)。GPRS MS工作模式B的含义为:PS/CS mode of operation(GPRS B mode of operation): The MS is attached to both the PS domain and CS domain, but the MS is not capable of simultaneously operating PS services and CS services.
- GPRS Attach: The MS requests access and a logical link to an SGSN is initiated. MM contexts are established at the MS and SGSN.
Moving from STANDBY to IDLE:
- Implicit Detach: The MM and PDP contexts in the SGSN shall return to IDLE and INACTIVE state. The MM and PDP contexts in the SGSN may be deleted. The GGSN PDP contexts shall be deleted.
- Cancel Location: The SGSN receives a MAP Cancel Location message from the HLR, and removes the MM and PDP contexts.
Moving from STANDBY to READY:
- PDU transmission: The MS sends an LLC PDU to the SGSN, possibly in response to a page.
- PDU reception: The SGSN receives an LLC PDU from the MS.
- READY timer expiry: The MS and the SGSN MM contexts return to STANDBY state.
- Force to STANDBY: The SGSN indicates an immediate return to STANDBY state before the READY timer expires.
- Abnormal RLC condition: The SGSN MM context returns to STANDBY state in case of delivery problems on the radio interface or in case of irrecoverable disruption of a radio transmission.
Moving from READY to IDLE:
- GPRS Detach: The MS or the network requests that the MM contexts to IDLE state and that the PDP contexts return to INACTIVE state. The SGSN may delete the MM and PDP contexts. The PDP contexts in the GGSN shall be deleted.
- Cancel Location: The SGSN receives a MAP Cancel Location message from the HLR, and removes the MM and PDP contexts.
3. RR工作模式和MM状态之间的对应关系
Table 1: RR工作模式和MM状态之间的对应关系(B类MS)
注:MM状态由定时器监控,手机和网络侧都有定时器。Packet transfer mode 也由RLC 定时器监控。
由于MAC/RLC资源是动态分配的,需要传输数据时,会临时分配一个TFI,然后在PDTCH上传输数据,此时MS处在Packet transfer mode,。由于目前GPRS网络工作模式为II以及未开通Gs接口,当MSC需要对GPRS手机发起CS呼叫(被叫)时,CS Paging只能在CCCH发送,不能通过SGSN在PDCH上发送。因此如果GPRS手机被叫时,恰好处在Packet transfer mode,由于目前的B类手机都不支持同时监听CCCH,GPRS手机不能响应寻呼,实际现象为GPRS手机寻呼不到。但如果GPRS手机被叫时,已经回到(Packet) idle mode(即临时数据传输完毕,TBF已经释放),继续监听CCCH,那么GPRS手机可以响应寻呼,实际现象为GPRS手机被叫振铃。由此随着GPRS业务的展开会影响BSC的CS寻呼成功率。
