Sylvain,

so it goes like this: ?

1. BSC starts paging MS by either TMSI/IMSI
(Paging1: Normal paging chan any to imsi M(262073948077454))

2. MS sends channel request procedure to BSC over RACH
(MS uses special(random) parameters inside this request)
(is there a way to see the RACH-traffic in the "air" with regular tools?)

3. BSC sends Immediate Assignment message to MS and repeates the random
parameters from request
(GSM48 IMM ASS (ra=0x0f, chan_nr=0x49, ARFCN=667, TS=1, SS=1, TSC=5))

Greetings

Stefan
