Channel MODE MODIFY
This procedure is used by BSC to request a change of the channel mode and/or a change between uni‑directional and bi-directional channel types of an active channel. In addition, for secondary channels in a multislot configuration, the procedure can be used by BSC to request a change in the encryption information of an active channel.
BSC initiates the procedure by sending a MODE MODIFY message to BTS. The message contains the new mode to be used. After having changed to the new mode, BTS responds with a MODE MODIFY ACKnowledge message to BSC.
