11 General message format and information elements coding

3GPP44.318Generic Access Network (GAN)Mobile GAN interface layer 3 specificationRelease 17TS

11.1 Message coding principles

Five different message headers are defined in this specification:

– Message header for the GA-RC and GA-CSR messages (defined in sub-clause 11.1.1)

– Message header for the GA-PSR messages sent over the TCP-based signalling channel (defined in sub-clause 11.1.2)

– Message header for the GA-PSR messages sent over the UDP-based GA-PSR Transport Channel (defined in sub-clause 11.1.3)

– Message header for the GA-RRC messages sent over the TCP-based signalling channel (defined in sub-clause 11.1.3a)

– Message header for the GA-RRC messages sent over the UDP-based GA-RRC Packet Transport Channel (defined in sub-clause 11.1.3b)

The principles for information element coding are described in sub-clause 11.1.4.

11.1.1 GA-RC and GA-CSR message header information elements

Each GA-RC and GA-CSR message begins with a 4-octet message header, as shown in Table 11.1.1.1. This message header consists of the following information elements: Length Indicator, Protocol Discriminator, Skip Indicator and Message Type. These IEs are described in the following sub-clauses.

Note that these information elements are also present in both the GA-PSR message header and the GA-RRC message header defined in sub-clauses 11.1.2 and 11.1.3a, respectively. However, the GA-PSR and GA-RRC message headers include additional information elements.

Here continues the list of IE’s using TLV coding format and depending on Protocol Discriminator and Message Type as defined in clause 10.

11.1.1.1 Length Indicator (LI)

The first two octets of the message header contains the Length Indicator (LI) information element. The LI is needed as each message is transported using TCP, which provides a ‘stream-of-bytes’ transmission i.e. no message concept, or message length concept is provided by TCP and this has to be handled in the application layer.

This field specifies the total length of the message excluding the 2 octets for Length Indicator.

Minimum value for LI is 2 and maximum value is defined as 2048.

For example: For a message of total length of 20 octets, this field is coded with the decimal value of 18. Then there follows 18 octets of message (i.e. total length of TCP-data is 20 octets).

In the LI value field bit 8 of octet 1 is the most significant bit and bit 1of octet 2 the least significant bit.

The Length Indicator consists of 2 octets.

11.1.1.2 Protocol Discriminator (PD)

Bits 1 to 4 of the third octet in the message header contain the Protocol Discriminator (PD) information element. The PD identifies the upper layer protocol to which the message belongs.

The following Protocol Discriminator values are defined:

11.1.1.3 Skip Indicator

Bits 5 to 8 of the third octet in the message header contain the Skip Indicator information element. A message received with Skip Indicator different from 0000 shall be ignored. A message received with Skip Indicator encoded as 0000 shall not be ignored (unless it is ignored for other reasons). A protocol entity sending any message shall encode the Skip Indicator as 0000.

11.1.1.4 Message Type

The Message Type IE is the fourth octet in the message header. Bit 8 of the Message Type value is the most significant bit and bit 1 is the least significant bit.

The following message types are defined for GA-RC and GA-CSR:

Message Type (octet 2)

The GTP-U Message Type field carries the GA-RRC PTC Message Type value as defined in sub-clause 11.1.3b.1.

Length (octet 3-4)

This field indicates the length in octets of the payload; i.e., the rest of the message following the mandatory part of the header (that is the first 8 octets).

The MSB is octet 3 and the LSB is octet 4.

TEID, Tunnel Endpoint ID (octet 5-8)

This field contains the TEID value that has been assigned to the MS (for downlink messages) or the GANC (for uplink messages) for the PTC to which this message belongs. The format is as defined in sub-clause 11.2.110, "TEID" but with no IEI and no length fields.

Sequence Number (octet 9-10)

This field shall be present if and only if any one or more of the S, PN and E flags are set. This field is meaningful if and only if the Sequence Number Flag is set to 1. The handling of this field is specified in sub-clause 11.1.3b.2.

N-PDU Number (octet 11)

This field shall be present if and only if any one or more of the S, PN and E flags are set. This field is meaningful if and only if the N-PDU Number Flag is set to 1. If the Sequence Number field shall be included in messages sent to the GANC, the MS shall fill the N-PDU Number field with the value ‘00000000’ for all messages sent to the GANC and disregard all N-PDU Number fields if present in messages received from the GANC.

Next Extension Header Type (octet 11)

This field shall be present if and only if any one or more of the S, PN and E flags are set. This field is meaningful if and only if the Extensions Header Flag is set to 1. If the Sequence Number field shall be included in messages sent to the GANC, the MS shall fill the Next Extensions Header Type field with the value ‘00000000’ for all messages sent to the GANC and disregard all extension fields if present in messages received from the GANC.

11.1.3b.1 GA-RRC PTC Message Type

The GA-RRC PTC Message Type field is the second octet in the GA-RRC (PTC) message header. Bit 8 of the GA-RRC PTC Message Type value is the most significant bit and bit 1 is the least significant bit.

The following GA-RRC PTC message types are defined:

11.1.3b.2 GA-RRC Sequence Number Handling

The following describes the use of GA-RRC PDU message sequence numbering assuming sequencing has been activated for the PTC (i.e., Delivery Order is requested in the IE "RAB Configuration" associated with the PTC).

The sending MS shall use 0 for the value of the Sequence Number of the first GA-RRC PDU message in a tunnel, only during the PDP context activation, and shall increment the Sequence Number for each following GA-RRC PDU message. The value shall wrap to zero after 65535.

The receiving MS shall set the content of a counter to zero, only during the PDP context activation. When the receiving MS receives a valid GA-RRC PDU message, it shall increment this counter by one. This counter shall wrap to zero after 65535. It defines the ‘Expected Sequence Number’.

Based on the received and Expected Sequence Number values, the receiving MS may decide whether or not to discard the received GA-RRC PDU message.

The receiving MS shall reorder the incoming T-PDUs in sequence if the Reordering Required flag in the PDP context is set. In this case, if needed, the receiving MS shall take into account a maximum number of valid received frames and a maximum elapsed time to assume that a GA-RRC PDU message was lost.

The sequence numbers allocated by the CN (down-link) and MS (uplink) are kept unchanged irrespective of the number of GA-RRC and GTP tunnels the PDU is transferred over. Therefore, GANC shall use on the Up interface for down-link PDUs the G-PDU sequence number received from the SGSN, and shall use on the Iu interface for uplink PDUs the GA-RRC PDU sequence number received from the MS. In case of SRNS relocation and intersystem change, the GANC shall tunnel PDUs without changing the G-PDU sequence numbers.

11.1.4 Information Element Coding principles

Each information element after the relevant message header is coded using the TLV principle as following:

– The first part of each IE is the Type field identifying the Information Element. The Type field is coded using either 1 or 2 octets. The ext field in octet 1 of the Information Element is the field extension bit and defines if the 2nd Type field octet is included:

– if set to 0, then the Type field consists of one octet with a value less than or equal to 127 (see Figure 11.1.4.1);

– The second part of each IE is the Length field identifying the length of the Value field of the Information Element. The Length field is coded using either 1 or 2 octets. The ext field in octet 2 of the information element is the field extension bit and defines if the 2nd Length field octet is included:

– if set to 0, then the Length field consists of one octet with a value less than or equal to 127 (see Figure 11.1.4.3);

– The third part of each IE is the Value field of the Information Element. The length of the Value field depends on the Type field of the IE and is defined in the sub-clauses below 11.2.

When the Type field or the Length field extends over more than one octet, the order of bit values progressively decreases as the octet number increases. The least significant bit of the field is represented by the lowest numbered bit of the highest numbered octet of the field.

11.1.5 Network Byte order

The Network byte order shall be Big-Endian.

The Frame Loss Ratio (FLR) is the number of missing speech frames at the receiver, divided by the total number of expected speech frames for the speech signal during the actual measurement period. When there are redundant speech frames, these shall also be counted both when missing and as included in the complete speech signal respectively. In missing RTP packets, the number of redundant speech frames shall be assumed to follow the used RTP Redundancy Configuration and the latest Codec Mode Request value, CMR, signalled to the sending part. (For CMR, see annex A.) For example, when RTP sample size is 20 ms, single redundancy is used and two RTP packets are missing during the last second, the frame loss ratio is (2+2)/(2*50) = 4%.

A filter shall be applied to the frame loss ratio before comparing it with the threshold and hysteresis values according to Annex D.1.

The GAN Service Zone Name string (octets 5 to n) is coded as a string according to UTF-8 format defined in RFC 3629 [50]. This means the 1st octet of the UTF-8 string is coded in octet 5 and the last octet of the UTF-8 string is coded in the last octet of this field (octet n).

11.2.63 RTP Redundancy Configuration

The RTP Redundancy configuration information element provides the parameters related to redundancy policy for the AMR active codec set. For each mode of the AMR codec set, the redundancy level is indicated i.e. no redundancy (window size 1), single redundant frame (window size 2), double redundant frames (window size 3). The mode for encoding redundant frames can be equal to or lower than the mode for the primary encoding.

For each mode of the AMR Active Mode Set, as signaled in the Multi-rate Configuration IE, the window size for including redundant frames is indicated. So if e.g. the Active Mode Set contains four active modes, then the RTP Redundancy Configuration IE consists of six octets, of which four indicate the Codec Mode to Window Size mapping.
