58a.1.3.3 Method of Test
Initial Conditions System Simulator: 1 cell with EGPRS support, default setting, PBCCH not present. Mobile Station: The MS is EGPRS updated with a P-TMSI allocated, SPLIT PG CYCLE negotiated and the test PDP Context 2 activated. Specific PICS Statements - PIXIT Statements - Test Procedure The MS is triggered to transfer 1000 octets of user data. An uplink TBF is established using an EGPRS coding scheme that requires the transmission of two RLC data blocks per EGPRS uplink radio block. During the uplink TBF the SS negatively acknowledges both RLC data blocks containned within one uplink EGPRS data block sent by the MS using a PAN field in the time based format included in a downlink data block sent on the assigned PDTCH. It is checked that the MS re-transmits both negatively acknowledged RLC data blocks. The re-transmitted RLC data blocks are then positively acknowledged by the SS. During the uplink TBF the SS negatively acknowledges the first of two RLC data blocks containned within one uplink EGPRS data block sent by the MS using a PAN field in the time based format included in a downlink data block sent on the assigned PDTCH. It is checked that the MS re-transmits the negatively acknowledged RLC data block. The re-transmitted RLC data block is then positively acknowledged by the SS. During the uplink TBF the SS negatively acknowledges the second of two RLC data blocks containned within one uplink EGPRS data block sent by the MS using a PAN field in the time based format included in a downlink data block sent on the assigned PDTCH. It is checked that the MS re-transmits the negatively acknowledged RLC data block. The re-transmitted RLC data block is then positively acknowledged by the SS. The uplink TBF is completed during which it is checked that the MS does not repeat any of the previously positively acknowledged uplink RLC data blocks. Maximum Duration of Test 10 minutes. Expected Sequence The test case is repeated for k =1 (RTTI, single UL/DL pair), 2 (BTTI plus FANR, single UL/DL slot) for all MSs indicating support of Reduced Latency. The test case is repeated for k =2 (BTTI plus FANR, single UL/DL slot) only for all MSs indicating support of FANR.

58a.1.4.1 Conformance Requirements
1. If a mobile station indicates support of Reduced Latency (see 3GPP TS 24.008), it may be assigned TBFs with FANR activated (see sub-clause 9.1.14), either in BTTI configuration or in RTTI configuration. If a mobile station indicates support of FANR (see 3GPP TS 24.008), it may be assigned TBFs with FANR activated (see sub-clause 9.1.14) in BTTI configuration only. The network shall ensure that, if a mobile station is assigned a TBF with FANR activated, FANR shall be activated for all concurrent TBFs assigned to that mobile station. 2. If an uplink TBF is established or reconfigured with FANR activated (see sub-clauses 11.2.29, 11.2.29a, 11.2.31, and 11.2.31a), the mobile station shall monitor for the presence of a PAN field for this TBF on all downlink PDCHs on which it shall monitor the USF for this TBF... If the presence of a PAN field is indicated in the header of an EGPRS RLC/MAC block for data transfer received on these PDCHs, the mobile station shall decode the PAN field also in the blocks addressed to other mobile stations. The network may encode the PAN field according to the SSN-based encoding defined in subclause 9.1.8 or the time-based encoding defined in subclause 9.1.15. The specific encoding selected by the network is notified to the mobile station at TBF establishment/reconfiguration. 3. When the Time-based encoding is used (see sub-clause 9.1.14.1), the Piggy-backed Ack/Nack (PAN) field consists of a 20 bits reported bitmap, as described in sub-clause 9.1.15, plus 5 bits set to '0.

Initial Conditions System Simulator: 1 cell with EGPRS support, default setting, PBCCH not present. Mobile Station: The MS is EGPRS updated with a P-TMSI allocated, SPLIT PG CYCLE negotiated and the test PDP Context 2 activated. Specific PICS Statements • PIXIT Statements - Test Procedure The MS is triggered to transfer 440 octets of user data. An uplink TBF in RTTI mode on a single PDCH pair is established if the MS indicates support of Reduced Latency. If the MS indicates support of FANR then an uplink TBF in BTTI mode on a single PDCH is established. A concurrent downlink TBF using two PDCH (BTTI mode) or two PDCH pairs (RTTI mode), one being the same as the slot or pair used for the uplink TBF, is established. During the concurrent uplink and downlink TBFs, the SS inserts a PAN field in the SSN based format into a downlink data block transmitted on the PDCH or PDCH pair not associated with the uplink TBF but which is associated with the downlink TBF. The PAN field would otherwise negatively acknowledge one of the MS's uplink RLC data blocks and has the TFI set to the same value as assigned to the MS for it’s uplink TBF. It is checked that the MS does not re-transmit the otherwise negatively acknowledged uplink RLC data block. The uplink RLC data block is then positively acknowledged by the SS using a PAN field in the SSN based format which addresses the MS via it’s assigned uplink TFI sent on the PDCH or PDCH pair associated with the uplink TBF.

58a.1.6.1 Conformance requirements
1. The presence of the PAN field, is signalled by the PAN indicator bit in the RLC/MAC header. When this bit is set the receiver shall use the corresponding Puncturing Scheme variant of the CPS indicated in the RLC/MAC header to decode the RLC data field. 2. For an EGPRS TBF with FANR activated, a Radio Block for data transfer consists of one RLC/MAC header, one or two RLC data block(s) and, optionally, one PAN field. It is always carried by four normal bursts. The interleaving depends on the MCS used. 3. For a TBF with FANR activated, the network may poll the mobile station to trigger the FANR procedure. In case the mobile station has at least one concurrent TBF in the uplink, the mobile station transmits, in a reserved radio block which is allocated together with polling, a radio block for data transfer including a PAN field with ack/nack information. 4. If a mobile station indicates support of Reduced Latency (see 3GPP TS 24.008), it may be assigned TBFs with FANR activated, either in BTTI configuration or in RTTI configuration. If a mobile station indicates support of FANR (see 3GPP TS 24.008), it may be assigned TBFs with FANR activated (see sub-clause 9.1.14) in BTTI configuration only. The network shall ensure that, if a mobile station is assigned a TBF with FANR activated, FANR shall be activated for all concurrent TBFs assigned to that mobile station. 5. For a TBF with FANR activated, if the commanded MCS is MCS-9 (respectively MCS-4), the initial transmission of the RLC data block(s) shall be done with MCS-8 (respectively MCS-3) if a PAN field is included in the radio block.

Initial Conditions System Simulator: 1 cell with EGPRS support, default setting, PBCCH not present. Mobile Station: The MS is GPRS attached with a P-TMSI allocated and the test PDP context3 activated. Specific PICS Statements - EGPRS capable of 8PSK in Uplink, of all Multislot classes (TSPC_Type_EGPRS_8PSK_uplink) PIXIT Statements - Test Procedure The SS initiates the establishment of a downlink EGPRS TBF, with FANR activated in the PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message. The MS is then triggered to transfer 5300 octets of user data, MCS-1 is used both for uplink and downlink. After 3 uplink data blocks SS includes PAN field in the downlink data block. One uplink data block from MS is negatively acknowledged and two data blocks are positively acknowledged. MS re-transmits the negatively acknowledged data block. SS includes PAN field in the downlink data block and acknowledges the re-transmitted data block. SS skips sending of two downlink data blocks and polls MS for acknowledgement of downlink data blocks sent. MS includes PAN field in the uplink data block and it is checked that the correct data blocks have been acknowledged. SS re-transmits negatively acknowledged downlink data blocks and polls MS for acknowledgement of downlink data blocks sent. MS includes PAN field in the uplink data block and it is checked that the correct data blocks have been acknowledged. Test procedure is repeated for all supported mobile coding schemes.

58a.1.7.3 Method of Test
Initial Conditions System Simulator: 1 cell with EGPRS support, default setting, PBCCH not present. Mobile Station: The MS is EGPRS updated with a P-TMSI allocated, SPLIT PG CYCLE negotiated and the test PDP Context 2 activated. Specific PICS Statements - PIXIT Statements - Test Procedure The MS is triggered to transfer 1000 octets of user data. An uplink TBF using MCS-9 on an RTTI configuration is established, if the MS indicates support of Reduced Latency. If the MS indicates support of FANR then an uplink TBF using MCS-9 on an BTTI configuration is established. A concurrent downlink TBF is established. During the concurrent uplink and downlink TBFs, the SS negatively acknowledges one of the MS's uplink RLC data blocks using a PAN field included in the header of a downlink data block. It is checked that the MS re-transmits the negatively acknowledged uplink RLC data block using MCS-6 and includes the requested PAN field in the uplink data block. The re-transmitted uplink RLC data block is then positively acknowledged by the SS. The commanded MCS is changed to MCS-4. During the concurrent uplink and downlink TBFs, the SS negatively acknowledges one of the MS's uplink RLC data blocks using a PAN field included in the header of a downlink data block. It is checked that the MS re-transmits the negatively acknowledged uplink RLC data block using MCS-1 and includes the requested PAN field in the case where re-segmentation is allowed or alternatively using MCS-4 without including the requested PAN field in the case where re-segmentation is not allowed. The re-transmitted uplink RLC data block is then positively acknowledged by the SS. The downlink TBF is completed. The uplink TBF is completed during which it is checked that the MS does not repeat any of the previously positively acknowledged uplink RLC data blocks. Maximum Duration of Test 10 minutes.

1. The Fast Ack/Nack reporting procedure (FANR) refers to the possibility to include, in a radio block for data transfer sent in one direction, piggy-backed ack/nack information relative to a TBF with FANR activated in the other direction. 2. For a TBF with FANR activated, the network may poll the mobile station to trigger the FANR procedure. In case the mobile station has at least one concurrent TBF in the uplink, the mobile station transmits, in a reserved radio block which is allocated together with polling, a radio block for data transfer including a PAN field with ack/nack information. Additionally, if enabled at TBF establishment/reconfiguration, the mobile station may initiate the FANR procedure in an event-based manner. Whenever an out-of-sequence condition is detected, or the RLC/MAC header of a radio block for data transfer is correctly received but the RLC data part is corrupted, the mobile station piggy-backs a PAN field with ack/nack information in a radio block for data transfer sent in (one of) the mobile station’s concurrent TBF(s) with FANR activated in the uplink.

58a.1.14.1 Conformance requirements
For EGPRS when FANR is activated or for EGPRS2, the Combined EGPRS Supplementary/Polling field describes the feedback request and specifies a single uplink block in which the mobile station shall transmit a PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT message, a PACCH block or (applicable only if FANR is activated) a radio block containing a PAN field to the network, see table 9.1.8.2.1.3. The single uplink block is defined by a delay relative to the first TDMA frame (N) of the downlink block containing the CES/P value. If ordered to send a EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message or EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK TYPE 2 message, a mobile station with one or more downlink TBFs using EGPRS2 shall send the EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK TYPE 2 message. Otherwise, the mobile station shall send the EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message. The CES/P field is used to indicate what fields the next uplink radio block reserved by this field shall contain (see further clause 9). The single uplink block is defined by a delay relative to the first TDMA frame (N) of the downlink block containing the CES/P value. The procedures defined for transmission of a PACCH block to the network as described in sub-clause 10.4.5 shall apply. References 3GPP TS 44.060, subclause 9.1.8.2.1 3GPP TS 44.060, subclause 10.4.4b

Mobile Station: The MS is EGPRS updated with a P-TMSI allocated, SPLIT PG CYCLE negotiated and the test PDP context2 activated. Specific PICS Statements - PIXIT Statements - Test Procedure The SS initiates the establishment of a downlink EGPRS TBF with FANR activated in the PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message. The MS is then triggered to transfer 1000 octets of user data. The SS assigns an uplink TBF by sending a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message. While the uplink TBF is ongoing, the SS polls the MS using the CES/P field in the header of the downlink data blocks for each of the CES/P values 001 to 111.It is checked that the MS sends the correct response (according to the table in 44.060 Section 10.4.4b) to the polling in the indicated reserved block. Following completion of the uplink TBF, the SS polls the MS using the CES/P field in the header of the downlink data blocks for each of the CES/P values 011 and 100.It is checked that the MS sends the correct response (according to the table in 44.060 Section 10.4.4b) to the polling in the indicated reserved block.

58a.1.17.1 Conformance Requirements
1. The Fast Ack/Nack reporting procedure (FANR) refers to the possibility to include, in a radio block for data transfer sent in one direction, piggy-backed ack/nack information relative to a TBF with FANR activated in the other direction. 12. If the RLC endpoint transmitter is the network and the mobile station has at least one concurrent TBF in the uplink direction, the network may poll the mobile station to trigger the FANR procedure. In this case the mobile station shall answer in a reserved radio block period which is allocated with the polling as described in sub-clause 8.1.2.2. 23. In the case where the network polls (for a PAN) and the mobile station does not have any EGPRS RLC/MAC blocks for data transfer in the uplink direction or it does not have any TBF assigned in the uplink direction, the mobile station shall transmit a EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK, EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK TYPE 2 message containing NPB, see sub-clause 10.4.4b. 3. A mobile station that detects a missing/erroneous RLC data block for a downlink TBF with FANR activated (see 3GPP TS 44.060) shall be ready to send an uplink RLC/MAC block for data transfer with a PAN or an EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK or EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK TYPE 2 message (in the case that there is no uplink RLC data ready for transmission) reflecting the missing/erroneous block in the TDMA frame indicated in Table 6.11.5.2 where N = the last TDMA frame of the downlink block in which the MS detected the problem.

Mobile Station: The MS is EGPRS updated with a P-TMSI allocated, SPLIT PG CYCLE negotiated and the test PDP Context 2 activated. Specific PICS Statements - PIXIT Statements - Test Procedure The SS initiates the establishment of a downlink EGPRS TBF, with FANR activated in the PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT message. The MS is then triggered to transfer 440 octets of user data. The SS assigns an uplink TBF by sending a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message. The SS sends a downlink data block addressed to the MS the header of which polls the MS for PAN but which has a BSN that is out of sequence by two BSNs with the last downlink data block addressing the MS. SS skips two DOWNLINK Data blocks. Then network Polls (for a PAN) the MS with CES/P in the EGPRS downlink data block. The SS verifies that the MS inserts a PAN field in the header of the subsequently received uplink data block that indicates non-receipt of the downlink data blocks implied by the out of sequence BSNs. The SS checks that the uplink data block is received within the specified PAN reaction time UPLINK RLC DATA BLOCK correctly. The Uplink data transfer is completed. SS skips one more DOWNLINK DATA BLOCKS. The network polls(for a PAN) and the MS respond in the EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message with valid NPB. The SS sends a downlink data block addressed to the MS the header of which is correctly encoded and which polls the MS for PAN but which has a corrupted RLC data part. The SS verifies that the MS sends an EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message that indicates non-receipt of the corrupted downlink data block. The SS checks that the EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK message is received within the specified PAN reaction time. The SS transmits the previously negatively acknowledged downlink data blocks. The SS transmits a final downlink data block addressing the MS which polls the MS for PAN. The SS checks that the MS acknowledges all of the transmitted data blocks.

58a.2.1.1 Conformance Requirements
1. Whenever the mobile station detects an assigned USF value on a monitored downlink PDCH or PDCH-pair, the mobile station shall transmit either a single RLC/MAC block or a sequence of four RLC/MAC blocks on the same PDCH or corresponding PDCH-pair for that TBF except if that TBF is running in extended uplink TBF mode, in which case the mobile station may transmit RLC/MAC block(s) for other TBFs assigned on the same PDCH or corresponding PDCH-pair (see sub-clause 9.3.1b.2). The time relation between an uplink block, which the mobile station shall use for transmission, and the occurrence of the USF value is defined in 3GPP TS 45.002. The number of RLC/MAC blocks to transmit is controlled by the USF_GRANULARITY parameter characterising the uplink TBF. 2. For an uplink TBF in RTTI configuration that receives the USFs in BTTI USF mode: - An assigned USF received on the first PDCH of a monitored downlink PDCH-pair allocates resources for one or four uplink RTTI radio blocks in the first two TDMA frames of the following basic radio block period(s) on the corresponding uplink PDCH-pair, depending on the value of USF_GRANULARITY. - An assigned USF received on the second PDCH of a monitored downlink PDCH-pair allocates resources for one or four uplink RTTI radio blocks in the second two TDMA frames of the following basic radio block period(s) on the corresponding uplink PDCH-pair, depending on the value of USF_GRANULARITY.

58a.2.2.1 Conformance Requirement
Whenever the mobile station detects an assigned USF value on a monitored downlink PDCH or PDCH-pair, the mobile station shall transmit either a single RLC/MAC block or a sequence of four RLC/MAC blocks on the same PDCH or corresponding PDCH-pair for that TBF except if that TBF is running in extended uplink TBF mode, in which case the mobile station may transmit RLC/MAC block(s) for other TBFs assigned on the same PDCH or corresponding PDCH-pair (see sub-clause 9.3.1b.2). The time relation between an uplink block, which the mobile station shall use for transmission, and the occurrence of the USF value is defined in 3GPP TS 45.002. The number of RLC/MAC blocks to transmit is controlled by the USF_GRANULARITY parameter characterising the uplink TBF. For an uplink TBF in RTTI configuration that receives the USFs in RTTI USF mode: - An assigned USF received on a monitored downlink PDCH-pair in the first reduced radio block period of a given basic radio block period allocates resources for one or four uplink RTTI radio blocks in the second reduced radio block period starting in the same basic radio block period and continuing with the second reduced radio block period in the following basic radio block periods on the corresponding uplink PDCH-pair, depending on the value of USF_GRANULARITY. - An assigned USF received on a monitored downlink PDCH-pair in the second reduced radio block period of a given basic radio block period allocates resources for one or four uplink RTTI radio blocks in the first reduced radio block period starting in the next basic radio block period and continuing with the first reduced radio block period in the following basic radio block periods on the corresponding uplink PDCH-pair, depending on the value of USF_GRANULARITY. On a downlink PDCH-pair assigned to a TBF in RTTI configuration with RTTI USF mode, downlink RLC/MAC control blocks shall always be encoded using either coding scheme CS-1 or coding scheme MCS-0; an MS can differentiate CS-1 blocks from MCS-0 blocks by examining the stealing bits.

Initial Conditions System Simulator: 1 cell, default setting. Mobile Station: The MS is GPRS attached with a P-TMSI allocated and the test PDP Context 3 activated. Specific PICS Statements - PIXIT Statements - Test Procedure The MS is triggered to perform uplink packet transfer. In the PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message sent during the subsequent two phase access procedure, an RTTI mode TBF (using a single PDCH pair) using BTTI USF mode (USF GRANULARITY set to 1 block) is allocated. The SS sends the assigned USF on the first of the two corresponding downlink PDCHs. The SS checks that the MS sends one uplink data block in the corresponding reduced uplink data block. The SS acknowledges the received data block. The SS sends the assigned USF on the second of the two corresponding downlink PDCHs. The SS checks that the MS sends one uplink data block in the corresponding reduced uplink data block. The SS acknowledges the received data block. The SS checks on each timeslot that the MS does not respond to USF grants using the USF allocated to the other timeslot. Using a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message, the SS changes the USF mode (from BTTI mode to RTTI USF mode). The SS grants the MS the assigned USF in a reduced radio block period occurring in the first two TDMA frames of a given basic radio block period. The SS checks that the MS sends one uplink data block in the corresponding reduced uplink data block. The SS acknowledges the received data block. The SS grants the MS the assigned USF in a reduced radio block period occurring in the last two TDMA frames of a given basic radio block period. The SS checks that the MS sends one uplink data block in the corresponding reduced uplink data block. The SS acknowledges the received data block. The SS checks that the MS no longer responds to the USFs previously allocated in BTTI USF mode. Using a PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE message, the SS changes the USF mode (from RTTI mode to BTTI USF mode). The SS sends the assigned USF on the first of the two corresponding downlink PDCHs. The SS checks that the MS sends one uplink data block in the corresponding reduced uplink data block. The SS acknowledges the received data block. The SS sends the assigned USF on the second of the two corresponding downlink PDCHs. The SS checks that the MS sends one uplink data block in the corresponding reduced uplink data block. The SS acknowledges the received data block. The SS checks that the MS does not respond to USF grants using the USF previously allocated in RTTI USF mode. The uplink data transfer is completed.

58a.2.6.1 Conformance requirements
EGPRS TBF mode capable mobile stations shall monitor the GPRS Cell Options IE on the BCCH (SI13) for the cell's EGPRS capability and, if the mobile station is also Reduced Latency capable, the cell’s Reduced Latency Access capability. In the GPRS Cell Options IE it is also indicated if the EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST message is supported in the cell and if Reduced Latency Access is supported in the cell. The following table specifies which message and which establishment cause shall be used by an EGPRS mobile station when accessing an EGPRS capable cell depending on the purpose of the packet access procedure, and mobile station’s and cell’s capabilities; this table covers the case where PBCCH is not present in the cell (see 3GPP TS 44.060 for the case where PBCCH is present in the cell). Table 3.5.2.1.2.1 [abridged]: EGPRS Packet Access Procedure Purpose of the packet access procedure EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST supported in the cell EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST not supported in the cell User data transfer – requested RLC mode = acknowledged (Reduced Latency supported by MS) EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST with access type = 'One Phase Access Request by Reduced Latency MS' (NOTE 2) CHANNEL REQUEST with establishment cause = 'Single block packet access' for initiation of a two-phase access NOTE 2: The One phase Access Request by Reduced Latency MS shall be used by the mobile station supporting reduced latency if Reduced Latency Access is supported by the network. In the case of an uplink EGPRS TBF assignment in RTTI configuration where an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message is sent in response to a one phase access with access type indicating "One Phase Access Request by Reduced Latency MS" as defined in 3GPP TS 44.060, the assigned timeslots of the uplink PDCH pair(s) and the corresponding downlink PDCH pair (as defined in 3GPP TS 44.060) associated with each assigned uplink PDCH pair are indicated by a combination of the TN given by the Packet Channel Description information element and information in the EGPRS Packet Uplink Assignment construction of the IA Rest Octets information element as described in sub-clause 10.5.2.16. The contention resolution is successfully completed on the mobile station side when the mobile station receives a PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK message addressing the mobile station with the TFI value associated with the uplink TBF and including the same TLLI value that the mobile station has included in the RLC header of the first RLC data blocks, or alternatively, in EGPRS TBF mode, a PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT message addressing the mobile station with the TFI value associated with the uplink TBF and including the same TLLI value that the mobile station included in the RLC header of the first RLC data blocks. The mobile shall then stop timer T3166 and counter N3104. Upon contention resolution during one phase access, the mobile station shall start transmitting RLC data blocks without the TLLI field as follows: - For a TBF operating in RTTI configuration, no later than the next occurrence of block B((x+2) mod 12)b where block Bxa is the radio block containing the contention resolution message or no later than the next occurrence of block B((x+3) mod 12)a where block Bxb is the radio block containing the contention resolution message (see 3GPP TS 45.002 [10] for an explanation of RTTI radio block indexing applicable to the RTTI configuration).

58a.2.8.1 Conformance requirements
The network initiates the packet downlink assignment procedure by sending an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message in unacknowledged mode on the CCCH timeslot corresponding to CCCH group the mobile station belongs to. On receipt of an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message or, in case of a two-message assignment, a matching pair of IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT messages, the mobile station stops monitoring downlink CCCH and switches to the assigned PDCH and starts listening for downlink RLC/MAC blocks identified by the assigned TFI; it starts timer T3190. In case RTTI configuration is supported by the network and the mobile station and a downlink TBF operating in RTTI configuration is assigned, the following parameters shall be provided by the network in the assignment message (e.g. PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, MULTIPLE TBF DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT, PACKET TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE, MULTIPLE TBF TIMESLOT RECONFIGURE or PACKET CS RELEASE INDICATION). - a Temporary Flow Identity (TFI). The TFI applies to all radio blocks transferred in regards to the downlink Temporary Block Flow (TBF); - one or more downlink PDCH-pairs to be used for the downlink transfer; Reference 3GPP TS 44.018 subclauses 3.5.2.1.2 3GPP TS 44.060 subclause 8.1.2.
