I have uploaded some traces (downlink only) to
http://reflextor.com/trac/a51/wiki/GSMBasics (see attachments)
there are also some complete traces including uplink in the tarballs at:
https://svn.berlin.ccc.de/projects/airprobe/wiki/DeModulation
the xml files can be opened with wireshark.

in moc_downlink, i count 2 SI5 frames with 21 bytes known plaintext,
the call proceeding with 18 bytes, assignment command 14 bytes.
that should be enough.
