2 General
2.1 General Organization
Each channel has its own coding and interleaving scheme. However, the channel coding and interleaving
is organized in such a way as to allow, as much as possible, a unified decoder structure.
Each channel uses the following sequence and order of operations:
- The information bits are coded with a systematic block code,uilding words of information + parity
bits.
- These information + parity bits are encoded with a convolutional code, building the coded bits.
- Reordering and interleaving the coded bits, and adding a stealing flag, gives the interleaved bits.
All these operations are made block by block, the size of which depends on the channel. However, most
of the channels use a block of 456 coded bits which is interleaved and mapped onto bursts in a very
similar way for all of them. Figure 1 gives a diagram showing the general structure of the channel coding.
This block of 456 coded bits is the basic structure of the channel coding scheme. In the case of full rate
speech TCH, this block carries the information of one speech frame. In case of control channels, it carries
one message.
In the case of half rate speech TCH, the information of one speech frame is carried in a block of
228 coded bits.
In the case of FACCH, a coded message block of 456 bits is divided into eight sub-blocks. The first four
sub-blocks are sent by stealing the even numbered bits of four timeslots in consecutive frames used for
the TCH. The other four sub-blocks are sent by stealing the odd numbered bits of the relevant timeslot in
four consecutive used frames delayed 2 or 4 frames relative to the first frame. Along with each block of
456 coded bits there is, in addition, a stealing flag (8 bits), indicating whether the block belongs to the TCH
or to the FACCH. In the case of SACCH, BCCH or CCCH, this stealing flag is dummy.
Some cases do not fit in the general organization, and use short blocks of coded bits which are sent
completely in one timeslot. They are the random access messages of the RACH on uplink and the
synchronization information broadcast of the SCH on downlink.

2.2 Naming Convention
For ease of understanding a naming convention for bits is given for use throughout the technical
specification:
- General naming
"k" and "j" for numbering of bits in data blocks and bursts;
"K " gives the amount of bits in one block, where "x" refers to the data type;
x
"n" is used for numbering of delivered data blocks where;
"N" marks a certain data block;
"B" is used for numbering of bursts or blocks where;
"B " marks the first burst or block carrying bits from the data block with n = 0 (first data block in the
0
transmission).
- Data delivered to the encoding unit (interface 1 in figure 1):
d(k) for k = 0,1,.,K - 1
d
- Data after the first encoding step (block code, cyclic code; interface 2 in figure 1):
u(k) for k = 0,1,.,K - 1
u
- Data after the second encoding step (convolutional code ; interface 3 in figure 1):
c(n,k) or c(k) for k = 0,1,.,K - 1
c
n = 0,1,.,N,N + 1,.
- Interleaved data:
i(B,k) for k = 0,1,.,K - 1
i
B = B , B +1,.
0 0
- Bits in one burst (interface 4 in figure 1):
e(B,k) for k = 0,1,.,114,115
B = B , B + 1,.
0 0
3 Traffic Channels (TCH)
Two kinds of traffic channel are considered: speech and data. Both of them use the same general
structure (see figure1), and in both cases, a piece of information can be stolen by the FACCH.
3.1 Speech channel at full rate (TCH/FS)
The speech coder delivers to the channel encoder a sequence of blocks of data. In case of a full rate
speech TCH, one block of data corresponds to one speech frame. Each block contains 260 information
bits, including 182 bits of class 1 (protected bits), and 78 bits of class 2 (no protection), (see table 2).
The bits delivered by the speech coder are received in the order indicated in GSM 06.10 and have to be
rearranged according to table 2 before channel coding as defined in 3.1.1 to 3.1.4. The rearranged bits
are labelled {d(0),d(1),.,d(259)}, defined in the order of decreasing importance.
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
SIST ETS 300 575 E3:2003
Page 11
ETS 300 575 (GSM 05.03 version 4.4.1): August 1997
3.1.1 Parity and tailing for a speech frame
a) Parity bits:
The first 50 bits of class 1 are protected by three parity bits used for error detection. These parity
bits are added to the 50 bits, according to a degenerate (shortened) cyclic code (53,50,2), using the
generator polynomial:
3
g(D) = D + D + 1
The encoding of the cyclic code is performed in a systematic form, which means that, in GF(2), the
polynomial:
52 51 3 2
d(0)D + d(1)D +. + d(49)D + p(0)D + p(1)D + p(2)
where p(0), p(1), p(2) are the parity bits, when divided by g(D), yields a remainder equal to:
2
1 + D + D
b) Tailing bits and reordering:
The information and parity bits of class 1 are reordered, defining 189 information + parity + tail bits
of class 1, {u(0),u(1),.,u(188)} defined by:
u(k) = d(2k) and u(184-k) = d(2k+1) for k = 0,1,.,90
u(91+k) = p(k) for k = 0,1,2
u(k) = 0 for k = 185,186,187,188 (tail bits)
3.1.2 Convolutional encoder
The class 1 bits are encoded with the 1/2 rate convolutional code defined by the polynomials:
3 4
G0 = 1 + D + D
3 4
G1 = 1 + D + D + D
The coded bits {c(0), c(1),., c(455)} are then defined by:
- class 1 : c(2k) = u(k) + u(k-3) + u(k-4)
c(2k+1) = u(k) + u(k-1) + u(k-3) + u(k-4) for k = 0,1,.,188
u(k) = 0 for k < 0
- class 2 : c(378+k) = d(182+k) for k = 0,1,.,77
3.1.3 Interleaving
The coded bits are reordered and interleaved according to the following rule:
i(B,j) = c(n,k), for k = 0,1,.,455
n = 0,1,.,N,N+1,.
B = B + 4n + (k mod 8)
0
j = 2((49k) mod 57) + ((k mod 8) div 4)
See table 1. The result of the interleaving is a distribution of the reordered 456 bits of a given data block,
n = N, over 8 blocks using the even numbered bits of the first 4 blocks (B = B + 4N + 0, 1, 2, 3) and odd
0
numbered bits of the last 4 blocks (B = B + 4N + 4, 5, 6, 7). The reordered bits of the following data
0
block, n = N + 1, use the even numbered bits of the blocks B = B + 4N + 4, 5, 6, 7 (B = B + 4(N+1) + 0,
0 0
1, 2, 3) and the odd numbered bits of the blocks B = B + 4(N+1) + 4, 5, 6, 7. Continuing with the next
0
data blocks shows that one block always carries 57 bits of data from one data block (n = N) and 57 bits of
data from the next block (n = N+1), where the bits from the data block with the higher number always are
the even numbered data bits, and those of the data block with the lower number are the odd numbered
bits.

ETS 300 575 (GSM 05.03 version 4.4.1): August 1997
th
The block of coded data is interleaved "block diagonal", where a new data block starts every 4 block and
is distributed over 8 blocks.
3.1.4 Mapping on a Burst
The mapping is given by the rule:
e(B,j) = i(B,j) and e(B,59+j) = i(B,57+j) for j = 0,1,.,56
and
e(B,57) = hl(B) and e(B,58) = hu(B)
The two bits, labelled hl(B) and hu(B) on burst number B are flags used for indication of control channel
signalling. For each TCH/FS block not stolen for signalling purposes:
hu(B )= 0 for the first 4 bursts (indicating status of even numbered bits)
hl(B) = 0 for the last 4 bursts (indicating status of odd numbered bits)
For the use of hl(B) and hu(B) when a speech frame is stolen for signalling purposes see subclause 4.2.5.
3.2 Speech channel at half rate (TCH/HS)
The speech coder delivers to the channel encoder a sequence of blocks of data. In case of a half rate
speech TCH, one block of data corresponds to one speech frame. Each block contains 112 bits, including
95 bits of class 1 (protected bits), and 17 bits of class 2 (no protection), see tables 3a and 3b.
The bits delivered by the speech coder are received in the order indicated in GSM 06.20 and have to be
arranged according to either table 3a or table 3b before channel encoding as defined in subclauses 3.2.1
to 3.2.4. The rearranged bits are labelled {d(0),d(1),.,d(111)}. Table 3a has to be taken if parameter
Mode = 0 (which means that the speech encoder is in unvoiced mode), while table 3b has to be taken if
parameter Mod e = 1, 2 or 3 (which means that the speech encoder is in voiced mode).
3.2.1 Parity and tailing for a speech frame
a) Parity bits:
The most significant 22 class 1 bits d(73),d(74),.,d(94) are protected by three parity bits used for
error detection. These bits are added to the 22 bits, according to a cyclic code using the generator
polynomial:
3
g(D) = D + D + 1
The encoding of the cyclic code is performed in a systematic form, which means that, in GF(2), the
polynomial:
24 23 3 2
d(73)D + d(74)D + . + d(94)D + p(0)D + p(1)D + p(2)
where p(0), p(1), p(2) are the parity bits, when divided by g(D), yields a remainder equal to:
2
1 + D + D .
b) Tail bits and reordering:
The information and parity bits of class 1 are reordered, defining 104 information + parity + tail bits
of class 1, {u(0),u(1),.,u(103)} defined by:
u(k) = d(k) for k = 0,1,.,94
u(k) = p(k-95) for k = 95,96,97
u(k) = 0 for k = 98,99,.,103 (tail bits)

3.2.2 Convolutional encoder
The class 1 bits are encoded with the punctured convolutional code defined by the mother polynomials:
2 3 5 6
G4 = 1 + D + D + D + D
4 6
G5 = 1 + D + D + D
2 3 4 6
G6 = 1 + D + D + D + D + D
and the puncturing matrices:
(1,0,1) for {u(0),u(1),.,u(94)} (class 1 information bits);
and {u(98),u(99),.,u(103)} (tail bits).
(1,1,1) for {u(95),u(96),u(97)} (parity bits)
In the puncturing matrices, a 1 indicates no puncture and a 0 indicates a puncture.
The coded bits {c(0),c(1),.,c(227)} are then defined by:
class 1 information bits:
c(2k) = u(k)+u(k-2)+u(k-3)+u(k-5)+u(k-6)
c(2k+1) = u(k)+u(k-1)+u(k-2)+u(k-3)+u(k-4)+u(k-6) for k = 0,1,.,94;u(k) = 0 for k<0
parity bits:
c(3k-95) = u(k)+u(k-2)+u(k-3)+u(k-5)+u(k-6)
c(3k-94) = u(k)+u(k-1)+u(k-4)+u(k-6)
c(3k-93) = u(k)+u(k-1)+u(k-2)+u(k-3)+u(k-4)+u(k-6) for k = 95,96,97
tail bits:
c(2k+3) = u(k)+u(k-2)+u(k-3)+u(k-5)+u(k-6)
c(2k+4) = u(k)+u(k-1)+u(k-2)+u(k-3)+u(k-4)+u(k-6) for k = 98,99,.,103
class 2 information bits:
c(k+211) = d(k+95) for k = 0,1,.,16
3.2.3 Interleaving
The coded bits are reordered and interleaved according to the following rule:
i(B,j) = c(n,k) for k = 0,1,.,227
n = 0,1,.,N,N+1,.
B = B0 + 2n + b
The values of b and j in dependence of k are given by table 4.
The result of the interleaving is a distribution of the reordered 228 bits of a given data block, n = N, over
4 blocks using the even numbered bits of the first 2 blocks (B = B0+2N+0,1) and the odd numbered bits of
the last 2 blocks (B = B0+2N+2,3). The reordered bits of the following data block, n = N + 1, use the even
numbered bits of the blocks B = B0 + 2N + 2,3 (B = B0+2(N+1)+0,1) and the odd numbered bits of the
blocks B = B0 + 2(N+1)+2,3. Continuing with the next data blocks shows that one block always carries
57 bits of data from one data block (n = N) and 57 bits from the next block (n = N+1), where the bits from
the data block with the higher number always are the even numbered data bits, and those of the data
block with the lower number are the odd numbered bits. The block of coded data is interleaved "block
nd
diagonal", where a new data block starts every 2 block and is distributed over 4 blocks.

3.2.4 Mapping on a burst
The mapping is given by the rule:
e(B,j) = i(B,j) and e(B,59+j) = i(B,57+j) for j = 0,1,.,56
and
e(B,57) = hl(B) and e(B,58) = hu(B)
The two bits, labelled hl(B) and hu(B) on burst number B are flags used for indication of control channel
signalling. For each TCH/HS block not stolen for signalling purposes:
hu(B) = 0 for the first 2 bursts (indicating status of the even numbered bits)
hl(B) = 0 for the last 2 bursts (indicating status of the odd numbered bits)
For the use of hl(B
