24.0023GPPGSM - UMTS Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) Access Reference ConfigurationRelease 17TS

In a PLMN, the reference point Um/Uu is an interface point, i.e. it is always implemented as a physical interface (according to 3GPP Technical Specifications in the 44, 45, 24, 25 and 36 series). The R reference point may be optionally implemented as physical interface. The implementation of interfaces at this reference point is according to 3GPP TS 27.001 [33], 3GPP TS 27.002 [34] and 3GPP TS 27.003 [35].

Figure 3 gives examples of configurations illustrating combinations of physical interfaces at the R reference point. The examples shown are not exhaustive, but only serve to illustrate possible implementations of the respective functional blocks.

Example (a) of figure 3 illustrates a fully integrated MS including data terminal functions within the mobile station equipment.

Example (c) of figure 3 illustrates the connection of a TE2 by an ITU-T V series interface according to 3GPP TS 27.002 [34] and 3GPP TS 27.003 [35].

Example (d) of figure 3 illustrates the connection of a MT2 PCMCIA card to a TE2 by a PCMCIA 2.1 interface according to 3GPP TS 27.002 [34]and 3GPP TS 27.003 [35].

Example (f) of figure 3 illustrates the connection of a speech only MS.
