BSSMAP
Base Station Subsystem Management Application Part

BSSMAP is used to convey general BSS (Base Station System) control information between the MSC (Mobile Switching Centre) and the BSS. An example of use is the allocation of traffic channels between the MSC and the BSS. Many BSSMAP procedures are triggered by or trigger RR (Radio Resource) management messages from the air interface.
