11.2.21a Packet System Information Type 3 ter

3GPP44.060General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)Mobile Station (MS) - Base Station System (BSS) interfaceRadio Link Control / Medium Access Control (RLC/MAC) protocolRelease 17TS

This message is sent by the network on the PBCCH or PACCH giving information on additional measurement and reporting parameters. This message shall not be segmented across more than one RLC/MAC control block by using the procedures specified in sub-clause 9.1.12a. If not all information fits into one instance of the PSI3ter message, the PSI3ter message can be repeated. Special requirements for the transmission of this message apply on PBCCH, see 3GPP TS 45.002.

Direction: network to mobile station

Classification: distribution message

Table 11.2.21a.2: PSI3 ter information element details

PAGE_MODE (2 bit field)
See description under PSI3.

PSI3_CHANGE_MARK (2 bit field)
See description under PSI3.

PSI3_TER_INDEX (4 bit field)
The PSI3_TER_INDEX field is used to distinguish individual PSI3 bis messages containing information about different neighbour cells. The field can take the binary representation of the values 0 to n, where n is the index of the last PSI3 ter message. (PSI3 ter count).

PSI3_TER_COUNT (4 bit field)
This field is coded as the binary representation of the PSI3 ter index (in the PSI3 ter message) for the last (highest indexed) individual PSI3 ter message.
Range: 0-15.

Real Time Difference Description

Cell_Index_Start_RTD (7 bit field)
This field indicates the GSM Neighbour Cell list index for the first RTD parameter. When missing, the value ‘0’ is assumed.

RTD (6 or 12 bit field) is defined in 3GPP TS 45.008.
The use of these parameters is defined in sub-clause 5.6.3.4.

GPRS REP PRIORITY Description

REP_PRIORITY bit:
0 Normal reporting priority
1 High reporting priority

The use of these bits is defined in sub-clause 5.6.3.5.

11.2.21a.1 GPRS REP PRIORITY description

A GPRS REP PRIORITY description construction shall be included in one and only one instance of the PACKET SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 3 TER message within the consistent set of PACKET SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 3 TER messages.
