13.1 Overview
Short messages can be transmitted either through SDCCH, SACCH. SMS procedure can
classify short message calling procedure and called procedure.

Procedure explanation
Step 1 (1) ~ (8) in Figure 13-1 illustrates a random access and immediate assignment procedure, in
which BSS allocates signaling channel to MS.
Step 2 (15) ~ (21) is a short message transmission procedure.
MS sends SABM again, notifying the network side that this user needs short message service
(SMS). Then, BSC provides a transparent-transmission channel for MS to exchange short
message information with MSC. In this procedure, the MSCs of some manufacturers are
capable to send ASS REQ to BSC, requesting it to assign channel for short message
transmission. The time for sending ASS REQ is the same as that for a common call. BSC can
provide SMS either by allocating other channels or by using the original SDCCH.
Point to Point short message protocol is divided into connection management layer (CM),
relay layer (RL), transport layer (TL) and application layer (AL).
CP_DATA and CP_ACK are the message on CM layer, CP_DATA is used to transmit the
content of RL and AL message, CP_ACK is the acknowledgement message of CP_DATA.
Step 3 (22) ~ (35) is a release procedure.
MSC initiates a release procedure upon the completion of short message transmission.

Procedure explanation
Step 1 (1) ~ (10) is a paging response and immediate assignment procedure.
MSC sends Paging CMD to page the called subscriber. MS requests for SDCCH, and
responds with Paging Response.
