Definitions

Rx:

Maximum number of receive TS that the MS can use per TDMA frame. The MS must be able to support all integer values of receive TS from 0 to Rx. The receive TS shall be allocated within window of size Rx. No transmit TS shall occur between receive TS within a TDMA frame.

Tx:

Maximum number of transmit TS that the MS can use per TDMA frame. The MS must be able to support all integer values of transmit TS from 0 to Tx. The transmit TS shall be allocated within window of size Tx. No receive TS shall occur between transmit TS within a TDMA frame.

Sum:

Total number of UL and DL TS that can be used by the MS per TDMA frame. The MS must be able to support all combinations of integer values of Rx and Tx TS where:

1 Rx + Tx Sum

Definitions

Tra:

Time needed for the MS to perform adjacent cell signal level measurement and get ready to receive. It is the minimum number of TS between the previous transmit or receive TS and the next receive TS when measurement is to be performed between.

Ttb:

Time needed for the MS to get ready to transmit (adjacent cell power measurements not required). It is the minimum number of TS: - between the end of the last previous receive TS and the first next transmit TS, - or between the previous transmit TS and the next transmit TS when the frequency is changed in between.

The MS performs measurements on adjacent cells during Tra.

Tra and Ttb have to be respected.

Use of Tra and Ttb for a multi-slot class 2 are shown below:

V12.4 C multi-slot management

Multi-slot classes management by V12.4 C Radio Allocator

All MS multi-slot classes 1 to 29 are supported in the V12.4 C release with some constraints for classes 13 to 29.

They are managed in this way:

MS Classes 1 to 12 at the maximum of their DL capabilities (number of TS used in DL) in most of the cases.

MS Classes 13 to 29 as MS Classes 1 to 12.

V12.4 C multi-slot management

Multi-slot classes management by V12.4 C Radio Allocator:

For each multi-slot class (1 to 12), the Radio Allocator uses several configurations taking into account the following principles:

The TS mapping is chosen at allocation among a set of configurations allowing to reach the best throughput. Tra and Ttb have to be respected. The TS allocation is always done as a full-duplex, with most of the cases, maximum MS capability chosen. So, when a MS in half-duplex mode becomes full-duplex, the allocation is already done and there is no need to reallocate it.

In each case, a TS will be chosen as the control TS. This is the TS, used in both UL and DL, which is used for both RLC/MAC control blocks and RLC data blocks whereas other TS are only used for RLC data blocks.

MULTI-SLOT CLASS 3: (2+2; = 3)

2 TS DL + 1 TS UL with maximum 3 TS simultaneously

Two kinds of allocation:

2+1 (DL+UL): Same case as multi-slot class 2.

1+2 (DL+UL): This solution is not available with Dynamic Allocation MAC mode (USF) because Ttb is no more respected (the MS should listen to one DL TS that is not allocated to it).

Then, there are 8 (= 8 + 0) possible configurations.
