Scope

This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) describes the subset of Base Station System Application Part (BSSAP) messages and procedures, defined in TS GSM 08.06 and TS GSM 08.08, which is used on the E-interface. A general description can be found in TS GSM 03.02 and TS GSM 03.09. For the initiation and execution of handover between MSCs a subset of BSSMAP procedures are used. For the subsequent control of resources allocated to the mobile station BSSMAP procedures are used. DTAP is used for the transfer of connection management and mobility management messages between the mobile station and the controlling MSC.
