In dual transfer mode, the mobile station (MS) is simultaneously in dedicated mode
and in packet transfer mode so that the timeslots allocated for each MS are
consecutive and within the same frequency. In dedicated mode, the MS has a CS
connection. In packet transfer mode, the MS has a PS connection. The CS connection
is always a single slot connection, whereas the PS connection can also be a multislot
connection.
The BSC supports only full rate CS connections in dual transfer mode. Simultaneously
obtained packet data rates can be up to 118 kbit/s for EGPRS and 40 kbit/s for
GPRS/CS-4.
Both the CS and PS parts of a DTM call are maintained in the PS territory. A DTM call
starts from an existing CS connection in the CS territory. During the DTM call
establishment, the CS connection is handed over to the PS territory and combined
with the related PS resources.
Dual Transfer Mode uses a native split between the circuit-switched (CS) and packetswitched (PS) parts of the BSC for radio resource management.
The CS connection control in the BSC (CS connection control) handles the following:
speech codec mode selection for the DTM CS connection
handover control
Compliance
