The figures and text in this clause describe the Information Elements contents.
8.1 Overview
See corresponding clause in GSM 04.08.
8.2 Protocol Discriminator
The Protocol Discriminator (PD) and its use are defined in GSM 04.07 [20].
8.3 Skip indicator and transaction identifier
8.3.1 Skip indicator
Bits 5 to 8 of the first octet of every CTS Radio Resource management and CTS Mobility Management message contains the skip indicator. In order to differentiate GSM Radio Resource management and GSM Mobility Management messages from CTS Radio Resource management and CTS Mobility Management messages, the skip indicator used shall be 1111. A message received with skip indicator different from 1111 shall be ignored by the CTS Radio Resource management protocol entity and by the CTS Mobility Management protocol entity. A protocol entity sending a CTS Radio Resource management or a CTS Mobility Management message shall encode the skip indicator as 1111.
8.3.2 Transaction identifier
See GSM 04.08.
8.4 Message Type
The message type IE and its use are defined in GSM 04.07 [20]. Tables 8.1/GSM 04.xx define the value part of the message type IE used in the CTS Supervising management protocol.
