Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2) (GSM); Base Station System (BSS) equipment specification; Part 2: Signalling aspects (GSM 11.23)

This ETS  contains the signalling aspects of the Base Station System for GSM.  The set of signalling tests cover  major areas of functionality  on the  air, a-bis and A interfaces, but is not desigend to be a complete set  of all the possible scenarios. The tests were designed from the set of core recommendations that exist for the GSM network and any changes that occur these recommendations will be reflected in the test set  documented within.
