1 Scope
This European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) is based on the principles of terminal adaptor
functions presented in the CCITT I-series of recommendations (I.460 - I.463).
The GSM PLMN supports a wide range of voice and non-voice services in the same network. In order to
enable non-voice traffic in the GSM PLMN there is a need to connect various kinds of terminal equipments
to the Mobile Termination (MT). The target of this ETS is to outline the functions needed for the terminal
adaptation.
In the GSM 02.02 (ETS 300 904) the bearer services are described. The general network configuration is
described in GSM 03.02 and the GSM PLMN access reference configuration is defined in GSM 04.02. The
various connection types used in the GSM PLMN are presented in GSM 03.10. Terminology used in this
ETS is presented in GSM 01.04 (ETR 350). For support of data services between GSM PLMN and other
networks see GSM 09-series of Specifications.

Within the scope of this ETS the Mobile Termination MT0 means a fully integrated MS including data
terminal and its adaptation functions. MT1 includes ISDN terminal adaptation functions and MT2 includes
CCITT V- or X-series terminal adaptation functions among other MT functions.
5 Functions to support data services
The main functions of the MT to support data services are:
- functions to ensure conformity of terminal service requests to network capability;
- physical connection of the reference points R and S;
- flow control of signalling and mapping of user signalling to/from GSM PLMN access signalling;
- rate adaptation of user data (see GSM 04.21);
- flow control of non-transparent user data and mapping of flow control for asynchronous data
services;
- support of data integrity between the MS and the interworking function in the GSM PLMN;
- end-to-end synchronization between terminals;
- filtering of status information;
- functions to support non-transparent bearer services e.g. termination of the Radio Link Protocol
(RLP) and the Layer 2 Relay function (L2R) including optional data compression function (where
applicable);
- terminal compatibility checking;
- optional support of local test loops.
In addition, functions to support autocalling and autoanswering are optionally specified in accordance with
CCITT Rec. V.25 bis or with ITU-T Rec. V.25 ter (although the use of other autocalling/auto-answering

procedures are not prohibited provided that mapping in a functionally equivalent way to GSM 04.08 call
control is also provided).
Other functional entities can be envisaged apart from the TAF. One of the physical interface to all these
functions is the DTE/DCE interface to the MT. Normally, this DTE/DCE interface is associated with the
TAF, if available. Therefore the access to any of these other functional entities, if implemented, via the
DCE/DTE interface must be triggered by appropriate command sequences which are described in the
applicable specifications (although the use of other procedures is not prohibited provided that mapping in a
functionally equivalent way is also provided). These command sequences can be issued by the DTE only
when the MT is in the appropriate command status and there is no data connection pending. They are
interpreted by an MT internal control function and result in an association of the DTE/DCE interface with
the addressed function, if available.
6 Support of non transparent Bearer Services
In order to support non transparent bearer services a Layer 2 Relay (L2R) function is included in the
mobile termination. The details of the particular L2R function for the different non transparent bearer
services are contained in the appropriate GSM 07-series Specification. This section describes the general
aspects of the L2R function.
The Layer 2 Relay (L2R) function provides for the reliable transportation of known, i.e. non transparent,
user protocols across the radio interface of a GSM PLMN. The L2R functions are located in the Mobile
Termination (MT) and the Interworking Function (IWF) associated with a Mobile Switching Centre (MSC).
The L2R uses the services provided by the Radio Link Protocol (RLP) to transport the non transparent
protocol information between the MS and the IWF.
6.1 Functions of the Layer 2 Relay
The complete protocol reference models for data and telematic services are described in GSM 03.10. The
subset of those protocol reference models relating to the L2R function is reproduced in figure 2.
