full_form: Packet Broadcast Control Channel
context: Independently of what is stated elsewhere in this and other 3GPP specifications, mobile station support for PBCCH and PCCCH is optional for A/Gb-mode of operation. The network shall never enable PBCCH and PCCCH. This makes use of network operation mode III obsolete.
description: The Packet Broadcast Control Channel (PBCCH) is a logical channel in the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) used for broadcasting control information to mobile stations. It operates independently and is optional for A/Gb-mode of operation, indicating its role in specific network configurations.
