    The document describes the BSSAP functional structure and typical BSSAP messages used for signaling between the BSC and MSC. It explains that BSSAP uses other sub-layers and protocols like SCCP, MTP, DTAP and BSSMAP. Example messages described include Handover Required, Handover Request, Paging, Clear Request and Complete Layer 3 Information. Tracing signaling can be done using an analyzer or GSM interface tracing in the BSC to monitor A-interface, A-bis interface and radio interface messages.

    BSSMAP
     The transmission of BSSMAP messages upon
    SCCP is for the BSSMAP functional entities of
    both MSC and BSS to exchange information.
     The distribution data unit of BSSMAP messages
    only has the discriminator. ‘D’ should be equal to 0
    which stands for non-transparent transmission.
