29、rated in the document. Introduction A new type of physical layer is proposed for the GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN): the flexible layer one (FLO). The main advantage of FLO is that the configuration of the physical layer (e.g. channel coding and interleaving) is specified at call setup. This

30、means that the support of new services such as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) services can be handled smoothly without having to specify new coding schemes in each release. Through several enhancements such as reduced granularity and flexible interleaving, the radio bearers offered by FLO would not o

31、nly fulfil the IMS requirements in terms of flexibility and performance, but also greatly improve the link level performance of real-time IMS services compared to GERAN Release 5. The objective of this TR is to provide an overview of FLO, its architecture and study the impacts it has on the GERAN ra

32、dio protocol stack. ETSI ETSI TR 145 902 V15.0.0 (2018-07)63GPP TR 45.902 version 15.0.0 Release 151 Scope The present document provides an overview of the flexible layer one, its architecture and studies the impacts it has on the GERAN radio protocol stack. 2 References The following documents cont

Active Transport Channel: a transport channel is active during a TTI if it carries a transport block. Dynamic attributes: for one transport ch

39、annel, the values of the dynamic attributes are different among transport formats. They are configured by Layer 3 and can change on a TTI basis under the control of the MAC sublayer. ETSI ETSI TR 145 902 V15.0.0 (2018-07)73GPP TR 45.902 version 15.0.0 Release 15Empty Transport Format: a transport fo

40、rmat such that no transport block is carried over the transport channel (i.e. the transport channel is inactive). Empty Transport Format Combination: a transport format combination that is made up only of empty transport formats. Inactive Transport Channel: a transport channel is inactive during a T

41、TI if it does not carry a transport block (i.e. the transport block size is zero). Radio Frame: The result of applying rate matching to a transport block along with its associated CRC that have first been channel encoded. Radio Packet: The set of one or more radio frames together with the applicable

42、 coded TFCI that form the volume of payload that can be transmitted on a basic physical subchannel for any given TTI. Semi-static attributes: for one transport channel, the values of the semi-static attributes are common to all transport formats. They are configured by Layer 3 and can only be change

43、d by Layer 3 signalling. Transport Block: block exchanged on a transport channel between the physical layer and the MAC sublayer. Transport Channel: SAP between the physical layer and the MAC sublayer. Transport Format: configuration of a transport channel, including for instance channel coding, CRC

44、 size, etc. Transport Format Combination: allowed combination of transport format(s) of the different transport channels that are multiplexed together on a basic physical subchannel. Transport Format Combination Indicator: layer one header that indicates the transport format combination that has bee

45、n selected for each radio packet. Transport Format Combination Set: set of allowed transport format combinations on a basic physical subchannel. Transport Format Indicator: index identifying a particular transport format within the transport format set. Transport Format Set: set of all transport for

46、mats defined for a particular transport channel. Transmission Time Interval: rate at which transport blocks are exchanged between the physical layer and the MAC sublayer on a transport channel. 3.2 Abbreviations For the purposes of the present document, the following abbreviations apply: ADCH Associ
