All MSs of the listening service subscribers in one cell shall listen to the common downlink.Broadcast call: Is used in the same sense as "voice broadcast call".Calling user: BCC entity in the Mobile Station (MS) initiating or having initiated a broadcast call.Clearing the context related to the broadcast call establishment: all running BCC timers in the relevant BCC entityare stopped, all attributes in the relevant BCC entity are deleted.Downlink: Network to MS direction.Group receive mode: See GSM 04.08.Originating mobile station: MS initiating or having initiated the broadcast call.Uplink: Mobile station to network direction.3.2AbbreviationsAbbreviations used in the present document are also listed in GSM 01.04.For the purposes of the present document, the following abbreviation applies:BCCBroadcast Call Control.4ApplicabilitySupport of the broadcast call protocol is optional in the MS and in the network.5Main conceptsThe present document describes the broadcast call control (BCC) protocol, which is one of the protocols of theConnection Management (CM) sublayer (see GSM 04.07).There is in general more than one MS engaged in a broadcast call. Consequently, there is in general more than one MSwith a BCC entity engaged in the same broadcast call, and there is one BCC entity in the network engaged in thatbroadcast call.Under which conditions a BCC message is passed from lower (sub-)layers to the BCC entity is defined in thespecifications of the sub-layers.The MS shall ignore BCC messages that it receives which were sent in unacknowledged mode and which explicitlyspecify as destination a mobile identity which is not a mobile identity of the MS.Higher layers and the MM sub-layer decide when to accept parallel BCC transactions and when/whether to accept BCCtransactions in parallel to other CM transactions.SIST EN 300 949 V6.0.1:2003



ETSIEN 300 949 V6.0.1 (1999-09)8(GSM 04.69 version 6.0.1 Release 1997)The broadcast call may be initiated by a mobile user or by a dispatcher. Specification of a protocol for dispatchers is outof the scope of the present document. Hence, in the scope of the present document, there are-one BCC entity in the network; and-one or more than one BCC entities in different MSsengaged in a broadcast call, and one ore none of the MSs is the originator of the broadcast call (called the originatingMS in the present document).NOTE: Whereas for the Group Call Control (GCC) protocol (see GSM 04.68), in certain situations, the GCCentity in a MS assumes to be the originator of a broadcast call without being the originator, this is not thecase for the BCC protocol.The originator of the BCC transaction chooses the Transaction Identifier (TI). A MS not assuming to be the originatorof the transaction will chose the transaction identifier received from the network, setting the TI flag to 1+x mod 2 wherex is the received TI flag.The present document describes the broadcast call control protocol only with regard to two peer entities, one in a MS,the other one in the network. The call control entities are described as communicating finite state machines whichexchange messages across the radio interface and communicate internally with other protocol (sub)layers. In particular,the BCC protocol uses the MM and RR sublayer specified in GSM 04.08. The BCC entity in a MS that is not theoriginator of the broadcast call shall not send messages to its peer entity. This description in only normative as far as theconsequential externally observable behaviour is concerned. For simplicity, instead of using the terms "BCC entity inthe MS" and "BCC entity in the network", the present document often uses the terms "MS" and "network" if noconfusion may arise.Certain sequences of actions of the two peer entities compose "elementary procedures" which are used as a basis for thedescription in the present document. These elementary procedures are defined in clause 6.The network should apply supervisory functions to verify that the BCC procedures are progressing and if not, takeappropriate means to resolve the problems. This, however, is out of the scope of the present document.6Elementary procedures for Broadcast Call Control6.1Overview6.1.1GeneralThe elementary procedures may be broadcasted into the following classes:-broadcast call establishment procedures;-broadcast call termination procedures;-broadcast call information phase procedures;-miscellaneous procedures.6.1.2Broadcast call control states6.1.2.1Broadcast call control states at the MS side of the interfaceThe BCC entity of the MS is described as an extended finite state machine. It performs transitions between states. It hascertain parameters and attributes, e.g. configuration parameters and behaviour parameters, which it sets and changesbased on interaction with higher and lower (sub-)layers and on message exchange with its peer entity. If a configurationparameter is set to a certain value, the MS shall also adapt the configuration accordingly. Behaviour parameters decideon (part of) the behaviour of the BCC entity. When the BCC entity in the MS receives a message, it shall first analysewhether it shall ignore the message, see clauses 5 and 7.SIST EN 300 949 V6.0.1:2003
