b. initiated by the mobile stationB
The mobile station initiates the clearing of a call by sending a 9I+)$NN,)T message to the networ8 %see also
subclause 2.1.!..
3pon recei/ing the 9I+)$NN,)T message from the mobile station the networ8 sends a ',5,&+, message to
the mobile station.
3pon recei/ing the ',5,&+, message from the networ8 the mobile station sends a ',5,&+, )$:#5,T, to
the networ8 which if the traffic channel is no longer needed %e.g. last acti/ity on the traffic channel. performs
the channel release procedure as described in subclause 6.-.4.
*hen there exist multiple traffic channels in the :ulticall en/ironment the networ8 does not release %i.e. retains.
a traffic channel e/en if the cleared call was the last acti/ity on the traffic channel under the condition as followsB
- a waiting call exists and the mobile station does not indicates to the networ8 which bearer will be used for
accepting the waiting call yetC and
- there exists no retained bearer for the waiting call.
*hen the mobile station recei/es +,T3# message with +ignaling I, indicating )all *aiting which means
networ8 cannot pro/ide any additional traffic channel thenB
; The :+ shall not re<uest a new +I /alue before releasing any other call %that leads to release any other
bearers than the retained bearer.C
; If the mobile station indicates the different +I /alue from the retained bearer after releasing any other calls
%that leads to release any other bearer than the retained bearer. the networ8 allocates a new T)= for the call
and releases the retained bearer.
)all clearing initiated by the mobile station is shown in figure 6.-2b.

Networ8 initiated mobile originating call establishment %which is used for example for ))(+ +er/ice. is initiated by
the networ8 sending a #&"IN" ',L3,+T message. 3pon recei/ing this message the mobile station initiates the
immediate assignment procedure and responds to the networ8 by sending the #&"IN" ',+#$N+, message within a
layer 2 +&(: frame. The networ8 returns a layer 2 3& frame containing the same information field as was sent in the
+&(: frame.
&uthentication and ciphering are treated by the networ8 in the same way as defined for the mobile originating call
establishment %subclause 6.!.2.. &fter ciphering has been started the networ8 sends a ): +,'7I), #'$:#T
message indicating that the ): protocol is to be started to the mobile station. The basic capability of the mobile
station to accept any form of recall ser/ice is confirmed when the mobile station returns a +T&'T )) message to the
networ8.
a. assignment before & party alertingB
*ith this option the networ8 allocates a traffic channel to the mobile station before the mobile station alerts its
user.
The networ8 responds to the +T&'T )) message with a ));,+T&(5I+=:,NT message. The :+ answers
with a ));,+T&(5I+=:,NT )$N0I':,9 message indicating the wanted channel characteristics. The
networ8 then initiates traffic channel assignment.
*hen the traffic channel has been assigned the networ8 indicates a pending recall by sending a ',)&55
message.
If the calling user accepts the recall a +,T3# message is sent to the networ8. The networ8 responds with a
)&55 #'$),,9IN" message and initiates call establishment in the fixed networ8.
*hen user alerting has been initiated at the called side an &5,'TIN" message is sent to the mobile station. The
networ8 may optionally instruct the :+ to attach the user connection at this stage of the call by means of the
progress indicator information element set to the /alue M- or M>%if the ringing tone will be sent by the remote

*ith this option the networ8 determines when the traffic channel is to be assigned. The assignment may be

&s in a. and b. an &5,'TIN" message is sent to the mobile station when user alerting has been initiated at the
called side. If the ringing tone is needed it has to be generated locally at the mobile station as no traffic channel
is allocated. *hen the called party has answered the networ8 will initiate the channel assignment procedure in
order to allocate a traffic channel to the mobile station. $nce the channel assignment has been completed the
networ8 will send a )$NN,)T message to the mobile station. The :+ attaches then the user connection. The
