Sequences shall beco-ordinated with the Universal Time Co-ordinated (UTC) so that on the hour a new sequencecommences.A paging cycle of exactly one minute duration, co-ordinated with UTC, shall be used to allow thenecessary co-ordination between different networks. Receivers may listen to one or a few cycles in asequence in order to reduce battery consumption (see clause 11).Each cycle shall be divided into five subsequences commencing at 12 second intervals. To allowco-ordination between networks the Subsequence Number (SSN) = 0 subsequence shall always betransmitted first after the UTC minute marker.The transmission of a subsequence may end before the full 12 seconds has elapsed. The subsequencelength may be reduced by a small amount to allow for transmitter switching times. Occasionally a greaterreduction may be made in order that test or system transmissions can be made by individual transmitters.Each subsequence shall be further divided into 16 batches labelled A-P. The receiver population shouldbe divided into 16 groups and each receiver allocated to one of the 16 batch types according to the 4 leastsignificant bits of its basic RIC. Further RICs used by this receiver shall be of the same batch type.Each receiver shall only be initially addressed in its own batch type transmission. When the receiverdetects its initial address it should wait on the same channel for the message to be sent. The messagemay be sent in the same batch, in any subsequent batch of the same subsequence or in the followingsubsequence (see subclause 10.6 regarding time-out conditions).An initial address may be transmitted more than once in the same batch (see subclause 10.2).The time of transmission of a particular batch type on each frequency channel is shifted by a single timebatch with respect to the others as shown in figure 3. Consequently a receiver can, if necessary, stepthrough the paging frequency channels without losing any messages.The first fifteen batches in every subsequence shall have length 154 codewords. The final batch in everysubsequence shall have length 190 codewords. This is so that messages in time divided networks may becompleted within a subsequence.Each batch is further subdivided into four partitions. These are the synchronization, system information,address and message partitions. A detailed description of the batch structure is given in subclause 4.4and the contents of each partition specified in subclauses 5.2 to 5.5.SIST ETS 300 133-4 E2:2003

Page 12ETS 300 133-4: November 19974.2Outline of the air interface modelThe air interface transmissions are organized in four levels:L4 - information format;L3 - error correction coding;L2 - codeword interleaving;L1 - modulation.4.2.1Information format L4Co-ordination of the basic paging system data and paging message data is performed at the formatinformation level. It is a way of arranging the transmitted data in a predefined format that will berecognized by the receivers.Throughout this ETS the bit transmission order shall be from left to right. Accordingly the Most SignificantBit (MSB), which is the left most bit, is transmitted first. The Least Significant Bit (LSB) is the right most bitand is transmitted last.4.2.2Error correction coding L3Forward error correction coding adds redundancy to the transmitted codewords so that after demodulationand de-interleaving transmission errors may be detected and corrected.4.2.3Codeword interleaving L2Interleaving is the technique to spread burst errors that occur on radio channels subject tomultipath/fading and impulsive noise. This is achieved by changing the order of bits in the transmitted datastream so that on reception any burst of errors that has occurred is spread over several codewords andthere is a chance that some or all of them may be corrected. This is further described in clause 7.4.2.4Modulation L1The function of the modulation level is to distribute by radio transmission the coded and formattedinformation from the base station transmitters to the paging receivers.4.3Application of the model to the air interfaceEach of the processing levels will be described in detail in the following clauses. Not all levels shall beapplied to all parts of the interface transmissions. This is best specified at the batch level (see figure 2)where the following shall apply:-synchronization partition: L1 & L4;-system information partition: L1, L3 & L4;-address partition: L1, L3 and L4;-message partition: L1, L2, L3 and L4.4.4Batch structureThe synchronization partition and system information partition are of fixed length. The boundary betweenthe address and message partitions can be altered depending on traffic type and density. The requirementfor
