3GPP45.002GSM/EDGE Multiplexing and multiple access on the radio pathRelease 17TS

The present document defines the physical channels of the radio sub‑system required to support the logical channels. For the Flexible Layer One, it defines the physical channels of the radio sub‑system required to support the transport channels. It includes a description of the logical channels, transport channels and the definition of frequency hopping, TDMA frames, timeslots and bursts.
