CHANNEL_CODING_COMMAND (2 bit field)
The Channel Coding Indicator field indicates the channel coding scheme that the mobile station shall use when transmitting on the uplink.

bit
2 1
0 0 CS-1
0 1 CS-2
1 0 CS-3
1 1 CS-4

COMPACT reduced MA
This information element is defined in sub-clause 12.29.

EGPRS Modulation and Coding Scheme
The EGPRS modulation and coding scheme information element is defined in sub-clause 12.10d.

If this field is included in a Dual Carrier assignment, it shall specify the initial EGPRS Modulation and Coding Scheme to be used on both carriers. If this field is included in a Multi Carrier assignment, it shall specify the initial EGPRS Modulation and Coding Scheme to be used on all carriers.

RESEGMENT (1 bit field)
This field is defined in sub-clause 12.10e.

EGPRS Window Size
This information element is defined in sub-clause 12.5.2.

LINK_QUALITY_MEASUREMENT_MODE (2 bit field)

This field is encoded as the LINK_QUALITY_MEASUREMENT_MODE IE of the PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message, as defined in sub-clause 11.2.7.

BEP_PERIOD2 (4 bit field)
This field contains a constant which is used for filtering channel quality measurements in EGPRS. BEP_PERIOD2 when present, or if not, when received in a previous message of the same TBF session, shall be used instead of BEP_PERIOD. For details see 3GPP TS 45.008.

Range: 0 to 15

Global Packet Timing Advance
This information element is defined in sub-clause 12.12a.

DOWNLINK_RLC_MODE (1 bit field)
RLC_MODE (1 bit field)
This field indicates the RLC mode of the requested TBF. If a new mode is assigned by the network for an already established TBF, the MS shall ignore the new assigned mode and shall maintain the TBF in the old mode. If EMST is used, this field indicates the RLC mode of the RLC entity.

0 RLC acknowledged mode

1 RLC unacknowledged mode. For the case of an EGPRS TBF an MS that supports RLC non-persistent mode shall respond to this indication of RLC mode as described in the EGPRS Window Size IE (see sub-clause 12.5.2).

CONTROL_ACK (1 bit field)
This field shall be set to ‘1’ if the network establishes a new downlink TBF for the mobile station whose timer T3192 is running. Otherwise this field shall be set to ‘0’.

DOWNLINK_TFI_ASSIGNMENT (5 bit field)
TFI (5 bit field)
This information element, if present, assigns the contained TFI to the mobile station to identify a downlink TBF described by this message. This field is coded the same as the TFI field defined in sub-clause 12.15. If EMSR is supported, each TFI identifies a Packet Flow Context supported by a specific RLC entity allocated on the downlink TBF.

If a DLMC configuration is established, the assignment message shall provide the DOWNLINK_TFI_ASSIGNMENT IE for at least the first carrier in the corresponding UFPS. If this IE is absent for any remaining carriers, the DOWNLINK_TFI_ASSIGNMENT IE for the first carrier in the first UFPS shall apply.

UPLINK_TFI_ASSIGNMENT (5 bit field)
TFI (5 bit field)
This information element, if present, assigns the contained TFI to the mobile station to identify an uplink TBF described by this message. This field is coded the same as the TFI field defined in sub-clause 12.15. If EMSR is supported, each TFI identifies a Packet Flow Context supported by a specific RLC entity allocated on the uplink TBF.

DOWNLINK_TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION (8 bit field)
UPLINK_TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION (8 bit field)

This field is defined in sub-clause 12.18.

TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION_C1, TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION_C2 (8 bit field)
These fields indicate the assigned timeslots for the downlink TBF. The usage of these fields is as specified in sub-clause 11.2.7.

Frequency Parameters
This information element, if present, assigns frequency parameters to the uplink and downlink TBFs. If this information element is not present the mobile station shall use its previously assigned frequency parameters. This information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8.

Frequency Parameters C1, Frequency Parameters C2
These information elements are coded as defined in sub-clause 12.8. The usage of these fields is as specified in sub-clause 11.2.7.

Dual Carrier Frequency Parameters
This information element, if present, assigns frequency parameters to the uplink TBF for both carriers in a dual carrier configuration. This information element is defined in sub-clause 12.8.2.

Dynamic Allocation struct
This information element contains parameters necessary to define the radio resources of a dynamic allocation or an extended dynamic allocation.

Dynamic Allocation 2 struct
This information element contains parameters necessary to define the radio resources of a dynamic allocation or an extended dynamic allocation in a dual carrier, RTTI, BTTI with FANR activated, or EGPRS2 configuration.

Power Control Parameters
This information element contains parameters necessary to define the radio resources of a dynamic allocation or an extended dynamic allocation in a multi carrier, RTTI, BTTI with FANR activated, or EGPRS2 configuration (see sub-clause 12.13).

In case of a timeslot allocation without power control parameters, the values of the power control parameters for assigned timeslots shall be the default values as specified in 3GPP TS 45.008. However, in case some of the timeslots assigned by this message are already used by the mobile station, the mobile station shall continue to use the current power control parameters for these timeslots.

For the case of a downlink carrier assigned for a DLMC configuration the assignment message shall provide the Power Control Parameters IE for at least the first carrier in the corresponding UFPS. If this IE is absent for any remaining carriers, the Power Control Parameters IE for the first carrier in the first UFPS shall apply.

EXTENDED_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION (1 bit field)
This information field indicates the medium access mode to be used during the TBF.

0 Dynamic Allocation
1 Extended Dynamic Allocation

TBF Starting Time
The TBF Starting Time field contains a starting time that indicates the frame number during which the assigned TBF may start.

If no downlink TBF is in progress, the mobile station need not monitor the TFI field of downlink RLC data blocks until the indicated TDMA frame number. After the indicated TDMA frame number, the mobile station shall apply the new downlink parameters and then operate as during a downlink TBF.

If no uplink TBF is in progress, the MS need not monitor the USF field until the TDMA frame number occurs. When the indicated TDMA frame number occurs, the mobile station shall immediately begin to monitor the USF field and use the new assigned uplink TBF parameters when its USF has occurred. If an uplink TBF is already in progress, the MS shall continue to use the parameters of the existing TBF until the TDMA frame number occurs.
