LAPDm
UI-frames (Unnumbered Information) are unacknowldedge frames used for broadcasting and common control messages (who should acknowledge?). Also used by messages on the SACCH. I-frames (information) are acknowledged by the reciever. The window size is set to 1 so we only send one frame at a time. Used by SDCCH and FACCH (handover).
