which are combined as shown in GSM 03.10 as part of the connection type.The rate adaptation
functions are RA0, RA1, RA2, RA1', RA1’’ and RA1/RA1'. The RA0, RA1 and RA2 areequivalent to those functions described in CCITT recommendation V.110 [11].The RA1' function is similar to RA1 but has a reduced bit rate output compatible with the coding scheme proposed fordata services on the radio interface.The RA1’’ function is used for converting between synchronous user rates of 48 and 56 kbit/s and the rate 64 kbit/s.The RA1/RA1' is a relay function, used as indicated in GSM 03.10.In multislot data-configurations the overall data stream is split into parallel substreams between the Split/Combine-functions.3.1Overview of the multislot data ratesFor TCH/F9.6 and TCH/F4.8 channel codings,
the multislot intermediate rates are 16 and 8 kbit/s per TCH/F,respectively.For TCH/F14.4 channel coding, the multislot intermediate rate is 16 kbit/s per TCH/F.Between the TE and the Split/Combine-function at the MS, where the overall data stream is not split, intermediate ratesof 8, 16, 32 and 64 kbit/s are applicableSIST EN 300 945 V6.0.1:2003

The converter shall then regain character synchronism from the following stop to starttransition.4.3Overspeed/UnderspeedA RA0 shall insert additional stop elements when its associated terminal is transmitting with a lower than nominalcharacter rate. If the terminal is transmitting characters with an overspeed of up to 1 %, the asynchronous-to-synchronous converter may delete stop elements as often as is necessary to a maximum of one for every eight charactersat 1 % overspeed. The converter on the receiving side shall detect the deleted stop elements and reinsert them in thereceived data stream (circuit 104).The realization of overspeed handling, as described above, at the interface to the associated terminal is implementationdependent. Possible implementations are e.g. the reduction of the length of the stop elements according to V.110 [9] orincreased data rates between the TA and terminal.4.4Parity BitsPossible parity bits included in the user data are considered as data bits by the RA0 function (and RA1 function).4.5Flow ControlWhere applicable, this function is as specified in the relevant terminal adaptation function Specification (see GSM 07series).SIST EN 300 945 V6.0.1:2003

The following method shall be used to enable transfer of those data signals and thecorresponding bit timing information via the V.110 frames. Such a situation would exist where the signals received fromthe modem at the IWF require its own clock or where the signals received from the DTE at the MS employs its ownnetwork independent clock. In any case, the frequency tolerance of the clocks involved is 100 ppm.5.1.1.1Multiframe StructureThe transmitting end of the GSM PLMN connection shall establish a multiframe structure utilizing bit E7 consisting offour frames by setting E7 in every fourth frame to binary 0. This structure is identical to the use of E7 in V.110 (andX.30) except that such a multiframe structure will exist for all user data rates. This frame synchronization will beachieved and maintained during the entire call so that corrections for the network independent clocking by the receivingend of the GSM PLMN connection can be easily recognized and applied based on the code words (in c1, c2, c3, c4 andc5) positioned in bits E4, E5 and E6 of two consecutive V.110 frames as illustrated in figure 1. Thus, the multiframestructure allows for one 5-bit code words to be transmitted every two V.110 frames for the purposes of networkindependent clocking. The two code-words may be different from
