24、 present document, it will be re-released by the TSG with an identifying change of release date and an increase in version number as follows: Version x.y.z where: x the first digit: 1 presented to TSG for information; 2 presented to TSG for approval; 3 or greater indicates TSG approved document unde

Introduction The present document specifies the user plane pr
26、otocol used between two Media Gateways in the CS core network. Through out the present document this protocol shall be referred to as the Nb UP protocol. The Nb UP protocol is for a large part identical to the Iu UP protocol (see 3GPP TS 25.415 2), and only the differences between the two protocols
27、are specified. This specification defines the applicability of the UP, as defined in 3GPP TS 25.415 2, for the Nb interface only. Given that the Nb UP uses the same PDU types as the Iu UP, the term IuFP is used to refer to the common framing. For the purpose of the present document, any occurrence o
28、f the term “Iu UP“ in the corresponding sections of 3GPP TS 25.415 2, shall be interpreted as “Nb UP“. ETSI ETSI TS 129 415 V13.1.0 (2016-04)63GPP TS 29.415 version 13.1.0 Release 131 Scope The present document specifies the user plane protocol of the bearer used between two MGWs within the BICC-bas
29、ed CS core network, called the Nb UP protocol. The present document assumes the implementation of the split between call control and the bearer transport and control, as specified in 3GPP TS 23.205 1, see figure 1.

39、pects The Nb UP is located in the user plane of the CS core network over the Nb interface. It is used to convey data between MGWs. The Nb UP protocol shall be initiated at one MGW and acknowledged by the adjoining MGW. The Nb UP framing is identical to the Iu UP framing, i.e., the same PDU types are
40、 valid for both protocols. Figure 2 shows the logical location of the Nb UP protocol layer in relation to the Nb interface.

41、ccurrence in overall architecture. 4.2 Operational and Functional Aspects There are two modes of operation for the Nb UP: - Transparent mode; - Support mode for predefined SDU size. The two modes of operation follow the definition of the corresponding Iu UP modes of operation, as described in 3GPP T
42、S 25.415 2. Support mode version 2 is mandatory on the NbUP interface. Support mode version 1 is not required at the Nb but may be used if both MGWs support it, as a result of the version negotiation during the Initialisation procedure. 5 Transparent Mode This mode of operation is identical to that

This classifying is based on frame classification on the preceding link and the setting of the attribute “Delivery of erroneous SDUs“. Th
