SMS Transfer On Um
GSM 04.11 and 03.40 define SMS in five layers:
- L1 is taken from the Dm channel type used, either SDCCH or SACCH. This layer terminates in the BSC.
- L2 is normally LAPDm, although GPRS-attached devices may use Logical link control (LLC, GSM 04.64). In LAPDm SMS uses SAP3. This layer terminates in the BTS.
- L3, the connection layer, defined in GSM 04.11 Section 5. This layer terminates in the MSC.
- L4, the relay layer, defined in GSM 04.11 Section 6. This layer terminates in the MSC.
- L5, the transfer layer, defined in GSM 03.40. This layer terminates in the SMSC.
As a general rule, every message transferred in L(n) requires both a transfer and an acknowledgment on L(n-1). Only L1-L4 are visible on Um.

Famous quotes containing the word transfer:
“I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep.... Not ... that I can render the point more than a point—but that I can startle myself ... into wakefulness—and thus transfer the point ... into the realm of Memory—convey its impressions,... to a situation where ... I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
