11.2.47 Packet Application Information

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 on the PACCH by the network to convey an embedded Application, e.g. an ETWS Primary Notification message (see 3GPP TS 23.041), between the network and the mobile station(s). This message may be segmented across more than two RLC/MAC control blocks by using extended RLC/MAC control message segmentation.
