23、14.0.0 Release 141 Scope The present document defines the stage 2 service description for Tandem Free Operation (TFO) in and between GSM and UMTS. Tandem Free Operation applies only to speech calls. NOTE: The TFO principles are built so that they could be used as well by other systems other than GSM
24、 and UMTS. In analogy with ITU-T Recommendations I.130 2 and with reference to ITU-T Recommendations Q.65 VI.1 (Stage 2 of the method for the characterisation of services supported by an ISDN), the second stage of the following three-level structure is derived from a stage 1 service description. - S
25、tage 1 is an overall service description, from the service subscribers and users standpoints, that views the network as a single entity which provides services to the user. - Stage 2 identifies the functional capabilities and information flows needed to support the service described in stage 1. Furt
26、hermore, it identifies various possible physical locations for the functional capabilities. The output of Stage 2, which is signalling system independent, is used as an input to Stage 3, the design of signalling system and switching Recommendations. - Stage 3 defines the signalling system protocols
27、and switching functions needed to implement the service described in stage 2. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition numbe
28、r, version number, etc.) or non-specific. For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version

ETSI ETSI TS 123 053 V14.0.0 (2017-04)63GPP TS 23.053 version 14.0.0 Release 143 Definitions and abbreviations 3.1 Definitions For the purposes of the present document, t
32、he following terms and definitions apply: Tandem Free Operation: corresponds to the Mobile-to-Mobile calls for which the speech is not transcoded two times but only one by the Mobile Stations For simplicity the term MS is also used when UE is meant for 3G systems. The same is valid for TRAU and TC a
33、nalogously. 3.2 Abbreviations For the purposes of the present document, the following abbreviations apply: IPE: In Path Equipment TFO: Tandem Free Operation Further abbreviations used may be found in 3GPP TR 01.04 1. 4 Main Concepts In-band TFO aims to remove the speech coding and decoding done in t
34、he BSS in MS-to-MS calls in order to improve the perceived speech quality. In-band TFO is established after call set-up using in-band signalling. This signalling is therefore controlled by the TRAU. Using in-band signalling implies that the link between the TRAUs is transparent in the sense that the
35、 digital content of what is emitted by a TRAU is not modified. The so-called In Path Equipments must therefore be disabled or configured in such a way that the information (signalling and coded speech) required for Tandem Free is not altered. 5 TFO Architecture and Transmission Mechanism 5.1 TFO Acc
36、ess Interfaces and Reference Points The GSM BSS reference points for TFO are described in figure 1. GSM A interface reference point applies here with the exception that speech is not in the standard 64 kbit/s PCM format and between TFO TRAUs in-band signalling is used. For speech and in-band signall
37、ing the MSC is transparent. The UMTS core network reference points for TFO are described in figure 2. The UMTS Nb interface reference point applies here with the exception that speech is not in the standard 64 kbit/s PCM format and between TFO TRAUs in-band signalling is used. For speech and in-band
38、 signalling the Core Network is transparent. Additional transmission equipments are taken into account. These equipments are all those which can process the PCM signal between the two peer BSS, e.g. echo cancellers, DCME. The BSS to BSS transmission is then considered transparent provided no transmi
39、ssion equipment along the circuit do not modify the 1 or more LSB or these transmission equipments implement a TFO “transparency mode“. A specific signalling allows to remotely control in-band these equipments. BSS-MSC out-of-band signalling consists in this version of TFO of the normal BSSMAP signa
40、lling which carries the list of acceptable speech codec that may be used for the TFO negotiation mechanism. Use of TFO specific out-of-band mechanism is not foreseen in that version of the specification. ETSI ETSI TS 123 053 V14.0.0 (2017-04)73GPP TS 23.053 version 14.0.0 Release 14MS TRAUTRAUMSBTS

T
43、his provides for a 0,5 kbits/s channel and has been selected so that the degradation on the speech quality is inaudible. In TFO established mode bit stealing takes place on the LSB bit/s (bit 8, 7 9-N; N=1: number of stolen LSB bits) on each PCM sample. The number N of stolen LSB bit/s depends on th
44、e codec type. This provides for a N*8 kbits/s channel that allows to carry vocoded speech in TFO frames. The contents of the “unstolen“ bits 1- (8-N) is normal A/-law information. 5.3 High-Level Functions Required for TFO The high level functions which apply to TFO are described hereafter. Not all t
45、hese functions need necessarily to be covered by the first description of TFO since some issues may be too complex to solve in an initial stage or at all. ETSI ETSI TS 123 053 V14.0.0 (2017-04)83GPP TS 23.053 version 14.0.0 Release 14The list of functions which are applicable to the BSS follows: - s
46、ignalling a request message (TFO_REQ) on the A interface that the TRAU supports TFO; - signalling an acknowledgement message (TFO_ACK) that the request message has been received from the peer entity; - monitoring request and acknowledgement messages on the A interface that the peer entity supports T
47、FO; - remote control of echo cancellers, DCME, .; - signalling of current speech codec with acknowledgement message; - signalling of speech codec capability with acknowledgement message; - change of current speech codec within the BSS (optional); - sending of TFO speech frames to the A interface; -
48、reception of TFO speech frames from the A interface; - conversion of a flow of TRAU frames into TFO speech frames; - conversion of a flow of TFO speech frames into TRAU frames. The following function applies to IPEs that may be along the 64 kbits/s circuit, such as DCME or echo cancellers equipments
49、: - monitoring of TFO negotiation messages; - repetition of LSB bit 8 one time out of 16 (TFO establishment mode, i.e. reproduce at the output of the IPE the detected message); - capability to go full or sub-64 kbit/s transparent mode and to resume normal operation based on TFO negotiation messages; - capability to monitor and alter TFO speech frame control information (optional); - capability to insert TFO negotiation messages (optional). No assumption is made currently on the interactions between call set-up as seen by the MSC and TFO. This means that
