Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Special Mobile Group
(SMG) of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and is now submitted for the
One-step Approval Procedure (OAP) of the ETSI approval procedure.
This ETS specifies the Mobile Application Part (MAP), the requirements for the signalling system and
procedures within the Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2) at application level.
The specification from which this ETS has been derived was originally based on CEPT documentation,
hence the presentation of this ETS may not be entirely in accordance with the ETSI/PNE Rules.

1 Scope
It is necessary to transfer between entities of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information specific
to the PLMN in order to deal with the specific behaviour of roaming mobile stations. The Signalling
System No. 7 specified by CCITT is used to transfer this information.
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) describes the requirements for the signalling system
and the procedures needed at the application level in order to fulfil these signalling needs.
Clauses 1 to 4 are related to general aspects such as terminology, mobile network configuration and
other protocols required by MAP.
MAP consists of a set of MAP services which are provided to MAP service-users by a MAP service-
provider.

Figure 1.1/1: Modelling principles
Clauses 5 to 10 of this ETS describe the MAP services.
Clauses 11 to 14 define the MAP protocol specification and the behaviour of service provider (protocol
elements to be used to provide MAP services, mapping on to TC service primitives, abstract syntaxes...).
Clauses 15 to 21 describe the MAP user procedures which make use of MAP services.

2 Configuration of the mobile network
2.1 The entities of the mobile system
To provide the mobile service as it is defined, it is necessary to introduce some specific functions. These
functional entities can be implemented in different equipments or integrated. In any case, exchanges of
data occur between these entities.
2.1.1 The Home Location Register (HLR)
This functional entity is a data base in charge of the management of mobile subscribers. A PLMN may
contain one or several HLRs; it depends on the number of mobile subscribers, on the capacity of the
equipment and on the organization of the network. All subscription data are stored there. The main
information stored there concerns the location of each mobile station in order to be able to route calls to
the mobile subscribers managed by each HLR. All management interventions occur on this data base.
The HLRs have no direct control of MSCs.
Two numbers attached to each mobile subscription are stored in the HLR:
- IMSI;

- MSISDN.

The data base contains other information such as:
- location information (VLR number);

- basic telecommunication services subscription information;

- service restrictions (e.g. roaming limitation);

- supplementary services; the tables contain the parameters attached to these services.

The organization of the subscriber data is detailed in GSM 03.08.
2.1.2 The Visitor Location Register (VLR)
An MS roaming in an MSC area is controlled by the Visitor Location Register in charge of this area. When
an MS appears in a location area it starts a location updating procedure. The MSC in charge of that area
notices this registration and transfers to the Visitor Location Register the identity of the location area
where the MS is situated. A VLR may be in charge of one or several MSC areas.
The VLR also contains the information needed to handle the calls set up or received by the MSs
registered in its data base (in some cases the VLR may have to obtain additional information from the
HLR); the following elements can be found in its tables:
- the IMSI;

- the MSISDN;

- the TMSI, if applicable;

- the location area where the mobile station has been registered. This will be used to call the
station;

- supplementary service parameters.

The information is passed between VLR and HLR by the procedures described in GSM 03.12.
The organization of the subscriber data is detailed in GSM 03.08.
Page 28
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

2.1.3 The Mobile-services Switching Centre (MSC)
The Mobile-services Switching Centre is an exchange which performs all the switching functions for
mobile stations located in a geographical area designated as the MSC area. The main difference between
an MSC and an exchange in a fixed network is that the MSC has to take into account the impact of the
allocation of radio resources and the mobile nature of the subscribers and has to perform, for example,
the following procedures:
- procedures required for the location registration (see GSM 03.12);

- procedures required for hand-over (see GSM 03.09).

2.1.4 The Base Station System (BSS)
The BSS is the sub-system of Base Station equipment (transceivers, controllers, etc.) which is viewed by
the MSC through a single interface (A-interface) with the functionality described in GSM 08.02.
2.1.5 The Gateway MSC (GMSC)
In the case of incoming calls to the PLMN, if the fixed network is unable to interrogate the HLR, the call is
routed to an MSC. This MSC will interrogate the appropriate HLR and then route the call to the MSC
where the mobile station is located. The MSC which then performs the routing function to the actual
location of the mobile is called the Gateway MSC.
The choice of which MSCs can act as Gateway MSCs is a network operator matter (e.g. all MSCs or
some designated MSCs).
See also GSM 03.04.
2.1.6 The SMS Gateway MSC
The SMS GMSC is the interface between the Mobile Network and the network which provides access to
the Short Message Service Centre, for short messages to be delivered to mobile stations.
The choice of which MSCs can act as SMS Gateway MSCs is a network operator matter (e.g. all MSCs
or some designated MSCs).
2.1.7 The SMS Interworking MSC
The SMS IWMSC is the interface between the Mobile Network and the network which provides access to
the Short Message Service Centre, for short messages submitted by mobile stations.
The choice of which MSCs can act as SMS Interworking MSCs is a network operator matter (e.g. all
MSCs or some designated MSCs).
2.1.8 The Equipment Identity Register (EIR)
This functional unit is a data base in charge of the management of the equipment identities of the mobile
stations; see also GSM 02.16.
2.2 Configuration of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN)
The basic configuration of a Public Land Mobile Network is presented in figure 2.2/1. In this figure the
most general solution is described in order to define all the possible interfaces which can be found in any
PLMN. The specific implementation in each network may be different: some particular functions may be
implemented in the same equipment and then some interfaces may become internal interfaces. In any
case the configuration of a PLMN must have no impact on the relationship with the other PLMNs.
In this configuration, all the functions are considered implemented in different equipments. Therefore, all
the interfaces are external and need the support of the Mobile Application Part of the Signalling System
No. 7 to exchange the data necessary to support the mobile service. From this configuration, all the
possible PLMN organizations can be deduced.
Page 29
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

2.3 Interconnection between PLMNs
Since the configuration of a PLMN does not have any impact on other PLMNs, the signalling interfaces
specified can be implemented both between the entities within a PLMN and between different PLMNs.
2.4 The interfaces within the mobile service
2.4.1 Interface between the HLR and the VLR (D-interface)
This interface is used to exchange the data related to the location of the mobile station and to the
management of the subscriber. The main service provided to the mobile subscriber is the capability to set
up or to receive calls within the whole service area. To support that purpose the location registers have to
exchange data. The VLR informs the HLR on the registration of a mobile station managed by the latter
and provides it with the relevant location information. The HLR sends to the VLR all the data needed to
support the service to the mobile station. The HLR then calls the previous VLR to inform it that it can
cancel the location registration of this station because of the roaming of the mobile.
Exchanges of data may also occur when the mobile subscriber requires a particular service, when he
wants to change some data attached to his subscription or when some parameters of the subscription are
modified by administrative means.
2.4.2 [Spare]
2.4.3 Interface between the VLR and its associated MSC(s) (B-interface)
The VLR is the location and management data base for the mobile stations roaming in the area controlled
by the associated MSC(s). Whenever the MSC needs data related to a given mobile station currently
located in its area, it interrogates the VLR. When a mobile station initiates a location updating procedure
with an MSC, the MSC informs its VLR which stores the relevant information in its tables. This procedure
occurs whenever a mobile roams to another location area. Also, for instance when a subscriber activates
a specific supplementary service or modifies some data attached to a service, the MSC transfers (via the
VLR) the request to the HLR, which stores these modifications and updates the VLR if required.
However, this interface is not fully operational specified. It is strongly recommended not to implement the
B-interface as an external interface.
2.4.4 Interface between VLRs (G-interface)
When an MS initiates a location updating using TMSI, the VLR can fetch the IMSI and authentication set
from the previous VLR.
2.4.5 Interface between the HLR and the MSC (C-interface)
When the fixed network is not able to perform the interrogation procedure needed to set up a call to a
mobile subscriber, the Gateway MSC has to interrogate the HLR of the called subscriber to obtain the
roaming number of the called MS (see GSM 03.04).
To forward a short message to a mobile subscriber, the SMS Gateway MSC has to interrogate the HLR to
obtain the MSC number where the MS is located.
2.4.6 Interface between MSCs (E-interface)
When a mobile station moves from one MSC area to another during a call, a handover procedure has to
be performed in order to continue the communication. For that purpose the MSCs involved have to
exchange data to initiate and then to realize the operation.
This interface is also used to forward short messages.
Page 30
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

2.4.7 Interface between the MSC and Base Station Systems (A-interface)
The description of this interface is contained in the GSM 08-series of Mobile stations.
The BSS-MSC interface carries information concerning:
- BSS management;

- call handling;

- location management.

2.4.8 Interface between MSC and EIR (F-interface)
This interface is used when an MSC wants to check an IMEI.
2.5 Splitting of the data storage
The data attached to each MS management, operation and location are stored in the Location Registers.
Some data are duplicated in the HLR and in the VLR, but others may be stored only in one place.
A detailed description of the data organization can be found in GSM 03.08.

3 Overload and compatibility overview
3.1 Overload control
There is a requirement for an overload/congestion control for all entities of the Public Land Mobile
Network and the underlying Signalling System No. 7.
3.1.1 Overload control for MSC (outside MAP)
For the entity MSC the following two procedures (outside MAP) may be applied to control the processor
load:
- ISDN
CCITT Recommendation Q.764 (Automatic Congestion Control), applicable to reduce the mobile
terminating traffic;

- BSSAP
GSM 08.08 (A-interface Flow Control), applicable to reduce the mobile originating traffic.

3.1.2 Overload control for MAP entities
For all MAP entities, especially the HLR, the following overload control method is applied:
If overload of a MAP entity is detected requests for certain MAP operations (see tables 3.1/1 and 3.1/2)
may be ignored by the responder. The decision as to which MAP Operations may be ignored is made by
the MAP service provider and is based upon the priority of the application context.
Since most of the affected MAP operations are supervised in the originating entity by TC timers (medium)
an additional delay effect is achieved for the incoming traffic.
If overload levels are applicable in the Location Registers the MAP operations should be discarded taking
into account the priority of their application context (see table 3.1/1 for HLR and table 3.1/2 for MSC/VLR;
the lowest priority is discarded first).
The ranking of priorities given in the tables 3.1/1 and 3.1/2 is not normative. The tables can only be seen
as a proposal which might be changed due to network operator/implementation matters.

3.1.3 Congestion control for Signalling System No. 7
The requirements of SS7 Congestion control have to be taken into account as far as possible.
Means which could be applied to achieve the required traffic reductions are described in subclauses 3.1.1
and 3.1.2.
3.2 Compatibility
3.2.1 General
This ETS of the Mobile Application Part is designed in such a way that an implementation which conforms
to it can also conform to the Mobile Application Part operational version 1 specifications, except on the
MSC-VLR interface.
A version negotiation mechanism based on the use of an application-context-name is used to negotiate
the protocol version used between two entities for supporting a MAP-user signalling procedure.
When starting a signalling procedure, the MAP-user supplies an application-context-name to the
MAP-provider. This name refers to the set of application layer communication capabilities required for this
dialogue. This refers to the required TC facilities (i.e. version 1 or 2) and the list of operation packages
(i.e. set of operations) from which operations can be invoked during the dialogue.
A version one application-context-name may only be transferred to the peer user in a MAP-U-ABORT to
an entity of version two or higher (i.e. to trigger a dialogue which involves only communication capabilities
defined for MAP operational version 1).
If the proposed application-context-name can be supported by the responding entity the dialogue
continues on this basis otherwise the dialogue is refused an the initiating user needs to start a new
dialogue which involve another application-context-name which require less communication capabilities
but provides similar functionalities (if possible).
When a signalling procedure can be supported by several application contexts which differs by their
version number, the MAP-User need to select a name. It can either select the name which corresponds to
the highest version it supports or follow a more specific strategy so that the number of protocol fallbacks
due to version compatibility problems be minimized.
3.2.2 Strategy for selecting the Application Context (AC) version
A method should be used to minimize the number of protocol fall-backs which would occur sometimes if
the highest supported AC-Name were always the one selected by GSM entities when initiating a
dialogue. The following method is an example which can be used mainly at transitory phase stage when
the network is one of mixed phase entities.
3.2.2.1 Proposed method
A table (table 1) may be set up by administrative action to define the highest application context (AC)
version supported by each destination; a destination may be another node within the same or a different
PLMN, or another PLMN considered as a single entity. The destination may be defined by an E.164
number or an E.214 number derived from an IMSI. The table also includes the date when each
destination is expected to be able to handle at least one AC of the MAP version 2 protocol. When this
date is reached, the application context supported by the node is marked as "unknown", which will trigger
the use of table 2.
A second table (table 2) contains an entry for each destination which has an entry in table 1. For a given
entity, the entry in table 2 may be a single application context version or a vector of different versions
applying to different application contexts for that entity. Table 2 is managed as described in
subclause 3.2.2.2.
Page 36
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

The data for each destination will go through the following states:
a) the version shown in table 1 is "version 1"; table 2 is not used;

b) the version shown in table 1 is "unknown"; table 2 is used, and maintained as described in
subclause 3.2.2.2;

c) when the PLMN operator declares that an entity (single node or entire PLMN) has been upgraded
to support all the MAP version 2 ACs defined for the relevant interface, the version shown in table 1
is set to "version 2" by administrative action; table 2 is no longer used, and the storage space may
be recovered.

3.2.2.2 Managing the version look-up table
WHEN it receives a MAP-OPEN ind the MAP-User determines the originating entity number either using
the originating address parameter or the originating reference parameter or retrieving it from the
subscriber data using the IMSI or the MSISDN.
IF the entity number is known
THEN
It updates (if required) the associated list of highest supported ACs.

ELSE
It creates an entry for this entity and includes the received AC-name in the list of highest
supported ACs.

WHEN starting a procedure, the originating MAP-user looks up its version control table.
IF the destination address is known and not timed-out
THEN
It retrieves the appropriate AC-name and uses it

IF the dialogue is accepted by the peer

THEN
It does not modify the version control table

ELSE (this should never occur)
It starts a new dialogue with the common highest version supported (based on
information implicitly or explicitly provided by the peer).

It replace the old AC-name by the new one in the list of associated highest AC
supported.
ELSE
It uses the AC-name which corresponds to the highest version it supports.

IF the dialogue is accepted by the peer

THEN
It adds the destination node in its version control table and includes the
AC-Name in the list of associated highest AC supported.

Page 37
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

ELSE
It starts a new dialogue with the common highest version supported (based on
information implicitly or explicitly provided by the peer).

IF the destination node was not known

THEN
It adds the destination node in its version control table and includes the new
AC-Name in the list of associated highest AC supported.

ELSE
It replaces the old AC-name by the new one in the list of highest supported AC
and reset the timer.

3.2.2.3 Optimizing the method
A table look-up may be avoided in some cases if both the HLR and the VLR stores for each subscriber
the version of the AC-name used at location updating. Then:
- for procedures which make use of the same application-context, the same AC-name (thus the
same version) can be selected (without any table look-up) when the procedure is triggered;

- for procedures which make use of a different application-context but which includes one of the
packages used by the location updating AC, the same version can be selected (without any
table look-up) when the procedure is triggered;

for HLR:

- Subscriber data modification (stand alone);

for VLR:

- Data Restoration.

4 Requirements concerning the use of SCCP and TC
4.1 Use of SCCP
The Mobile Application Part makes use of the services offered by the Signalling Connection Control Part
of signalling System No. 7. CCITT Blue Book or ITU-T (03/93) Recommendations Q.711 to Q.716 should
be consulted for the full specification of SCCP.
4.1.1 SCCP Class
MAP will only make use of the connectionless classes (0 or 1) of the SCCP.
4.1.2 Sub-System Number (SSN)
The Application Entities (AEs) defined for MAP consist of several Application Service Elements (ASEs)
and are addressed by sub-system numbers (SSNs). The SSN for MAP are:
00000101 for the whole MAP (reserved for possible future use);

00000110 HLR;

00000111 VLR;

00001000 MSC;

00001001 EIR;

00001010 is allocated for evolution (possible Authentication centre).

4.1.3 SCCP addressing
4.1.3.1 Introduction
Within the GSM System there will be a need to communicate between entities within the same PLMN and
in different PLMNs. Using the Mobile Application Part (MAP) for this function implies the use of
Transaction Capabilities (TC) and the Signalling Connection Control Part (SCCP) of CCITT Signalling
System No. 7.
Only the entities which should be addressed are described below. The format and coding of address
parameters carried by the SCCP for that purpose shall comply with CCITT Recommendation Q.713 with
the following restrictions:
1) Intra-PLMN addressing
a) Called Party Address
- SSN indicator = 1 (MAP SSNs always included);
- a Global title or a point code may also be included;

b) Calling Party Address
- SSN indicator = 1 (MAP SSNs always included);
- a Global title or a point code may also be included; If none of these parameters is present
the MTP address (i.e. OPC) is used;

2) Inter-PLMN addressing
a) Called Party Address
- SSN indicator = 1 (MAP SSN always included);
- Global title indicator = 0100 (Global title includes translation type, numbering plan, encoding
scheme and nature of address indicator);
- the translation type field will be coded "00000000" (Not used);
- Routing indicator = 0 (Routing on global title);

Page 39
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

b) Calling Party Address
- SSN indicator = 1 (MAP SSNs always included);
- Point code indicator = 0;
- Global title indicator = 0100 (Global title includes translation type, numbering plan, encoding
scheme and nature of address indicator);
- the translation type field will be coded "00000000" (Not used);
- Routing indicator = 0 (Routing on Global Title).

When an SCCP UNITDATA message is sent, the Called Party Address is derived from the Called
Address of the N-UNITDATA-REQUEST primitive issued by the local TC. The Calling Party Address
received in the dialogue initiating SCCP UNITDATA message is forwarded to the local TC of the dialogue
responding entity as Calling Address within the N-UNITDATA-INDICATION primitive in order to be stored
as Called Address for the current transaction.
In the case of intra-PLMN addressing, it may be necessary to complement the Calling Party Address
received in the dialogue initiating SCCP UNITDATA message by the associated Originating Point Code
taken from the MTP-TRANSFER-INDICATION primitive as indicated above. In this case, the Signalling
Point Code included in the Calling Address forwarded to the local TC on receipt of the dialogue initiating
message is used as Destination Point Code for MTP routeing of all messages sent by the dialogue
responding entity within one dialogue.
For supporting the GSM protocol for inter-PLMN addressing, SCCP shall not modify the SCCP address
information received in an SCCP UNITDATA message before forwarding it to the local TC. In particular,
the Calling Party Address received within the dialogue initiating message shall not be complemented by a
Signalling Point Code before forwarding it to TC as Calling Address in the N-UNITDATA-INDICATION
primitive. Any modification of the SCCP address information received in an SCCP UNITDATA message in
the case of inter-PLMN addressing constitutes a PLMN specific option.
For supporting the GSM protocol, the options provided by ITU-T (03/93) SCCP for processing of the
Called Address received from the local TC in the N-UNITDATA-REQUEST primitive shall be restricted as
follows: If the Called Address received from TC in the N-UNITDATA-REQUEST primitive contains a
Global Title, a Destination Point Code shall be established by means of Global Title translation. In the
case of inter-PLMN signalling, the Global Title translation shall result in "routing on Global Title". PLMN
specific requirements may cause application of a different option provided by ITU-T (03/93) SCCP.
If a Global Title translation is required for obtaining routeing information, one of the numbering plans
E.164, E.212 and E.214 is applicable.
- E.212 numbering plan
An E.212 number must not be included as Global Title in an SCCP UNITDATA message. The
translation of an E.212 number into a Mobile Global Title is applicable in a dialogue initiating VLR if
the routeing information towards the HLR is derived from the subscribers IMSI. When an MS
moves from one VLR service area to another, the new VLR may derive the address of the previous
VLR from the Location Area Identification provided by the MS in the location registration request.
The PLMN where the previous VLR is located is identified by the E.212 numbering plan elements
of the Location Area Identification, i.e. the Mobile Country Code (MCC) and the Mobile Network
Code (MNC).

- E.214 and E.164 numbering plans
Only address information belonging to either E.214 or E.164 numbering plan is allowed to be
included as Global Title in the Called and Calling Party Address.
If the Calling Party Address associated with the dialogue initiating message contains a Global Title,
the sending network entity shall include its E.164 entity number.
When receiving an SCCP UNITDATA message, SCCP shall accept either of the valid numbering
plans in the Called Party Address and in the Calling Party Address.
When receiving an N-UNITDATA-REQUEST primitive from TC, SCCP shall accept an E.164
number or an E.214 number in the Called Address and in the Calling Address.

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

The following subclauses describe the method of SCCP addressing appropriate for each entity both for
the simple intra-PLMN case and where an inter-PLMN communication is required. The following entities
are considered:
The Mobile-services Switching Centre (MSC);

The Home location Register (HLR);

The Visitor Location Register (VLR);

The Gateway Mobile-services Switching Centre (GMSC);

The Interworking Mobile-services Switching Centre (IWMSC).

4.1.3.2 The Mobile-services Switching Centre (MSC)
There are several cases where it is necessary to address the MSC.
4.1.3.2.1 MSC interaction during handover
The address is derived from the target Cellid.
4.1.3.2.2 MSC for short message routing
When a short message has to be routed to a mobile station, the GMSC addresses the VMSC by an MSC
identity received from the HLR which complies with E.164 rules.
For MS originating short message, the IWMSC address is derived from the Service Centre address.
4.1.3.3 The Home Location Register (HLR)
There are several cases where the HLR has to be addressed:
4.1.3.3.1 During call set-up
When a call is initiated the HLR of the called mobile subscriber will be interrogated to discover the
whereabouts of the mobile station. The addressing required by the SCCP will be derived from the
MSISDN dialled by the calling subscriber. The dialled number will be translated into either an SPC, in the
case of communications within a PLMN, or a Global Title if other networks are involved (i.e. if the
communication is across a PLMN boundary).
If the calling subscriber is a fixed network subscriber, the interrogation can be initiated from the Gateway
MSC of the home PLMN in the general case. If the topology of the network allows it, the interrogation
could be initiated from any Signalling Point which has MAP capabilities, e.g. local exchange, outgoing
International Switching Centre (ISC), etc.
4.1.3.3.2 Before location updating completion
When a mobile station registers for the first time in a VLR, the VLR has to initiate the update location
dialogue with the MSs HLR and a preceding dialogue for authentication information retrieval if the
authentication information must be retrieved from the HLR. When initiating either of these dialogues, the
only data for addressing the HLR that the VLR has available is contained in the IMSI, and addressing
information for SCCP must be derived from it. When continuing the established update location dialogue
(as with any other dialogue), the VLR must derive the routeing information towards the HLR from the
Calling Party Address received with the first responding CONTINUE message until the dialogue
terminating message is received. This means that the VLR must be able to address the HLR based:
- on an E.214 Mobile Global Title originally derived by the VLR from the IMSI; or
- on an E.164 HLR address; or
- in the case of intra-PLMN signalling, on an SPC.

Page 41
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

If the HLR is in the same PLMN as the VLR, local translation tables may exist to derive an SPC. For
authentication information retrieval and location updating via the international PSTN/ISDN signalling
network, the Global title must be derived from the IMSI, using the principles contained in CCITT
Recommendation E.214 and the Numbering Plan Indicator (NPI) value referenced by the SCCP
Specifications. A summary of the translation from the IMSI (CCITT Recommendation E.212) to Mobile
Global Title (described in CCITT Recommendation E.214) is shown below:
- E.212 Mobile Country Code translates to E.164 Country Code;

- E.212 Mobile Network Code translates to E.164 National Destination Code;

- E.212 Mobile Subscriber Identification Number (MSIN) is carried unchanged if within the E.164
number maximum length and terminated by the ST signal (15 digits + ST). If the Mobile Global Title
is more than 15 digits the number is truncated to 15 by deleting the least significant digits.

This translation will be done either at the application or at SCCP level in the VLR. The Mobile Global Title
thus derived will be used to address the HLR.
If location updating is triggered by an MS that roams from one MSC Area into a different MSC Area
served by the same VLR, the VLR shall address the HLR in the same way as if the MS registers for the
first time in the VLR.
4.1.3.3.3 After location updating completion
In this case, the subscribers basic MSISDN has been received from the HLR during the subscriber data
retrieval procedure as well as the HLR number constituting a parameter of the MAP message indicating
successful completion of the update location dialogue. From either of these E.164 numbers the address
information for initiating dialogues with the roaming subscribers HLR can be derived. Also the
subscribers IMSI may be used for establishing the routeing information towards the HLR. This may apply
in particular if the dialogue with the HLR is triggered by subscriber controlled input.
Thus the SCCP address of the roaming subscribers HLR may be an SPC, or it may be a Global title
consisting of the E.164 MSISDN or the E.164 number allocated to the HLR or the E.214 Mobile Global
Title derived from the IMSI.
4.1.3.3.4 VLR restoration
If a roaming number is requested by the HLR for an IMSI that has no data record in the interrogated VLR,
the VLR provides the roaming number in the dialogue terminating message. Subsequently the VLR must
retrieve the authentication data from the MSs HLR, if required, and must then trigger the restore data
procedure. For this purpose, the VLR has to initiate in succession two independent dialogues with the
MSs HLR. The MTP and SCCP address information needed for routeing towards the HLR can be derived
from the IMSI received as a parameter of the MAP message requesting the roaming number. In this case,
the IMSI received from the HLR in the roaming number request shall be processed in the same way as
the IMSI that is received from an MS that registers for the first time within a VLR. Alternatively to the IMSI,
the Calling Party Address associated with the roaming number request may be used to obtain the
routeing information towards the HLR.
4.1.3.4 The Visitor Location Register (VLR)
There are several cases when the VLR needs to be addressed:
4.1.3.4.1 Inter-VLR information retrieval
When an MS moves from one VLR service area to another, the new VLR may request the IMSI and
authentication sets from the previous VLR. The new VLR derives the address of the previous VLR from
the Location Area Identification provided by the MS in the location registration request.
Page 42
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

4.1.3.4.2 HLR request
The HLR will only request information from a VLR if it is aware that one of its subscribers is in the VLRs
service area. This means that a location updating dialogue initiated by the VLR has been successfully
completed, i.e. the HLR has indicated successful completion of the update location procedure to the VLR.
When initiating dialogues towards the VLR after successful completion of location updating, the routeing
information used by the HLR is derived from the E.164 VLR number received as a parameter of the MAP
message initiating the update location dialogue. If the VLR is in the same PLMN as the HLR, the VLR
may be addressed directly by an SPC derived from the E.164 VLR number. For dialogues via the
international PSTN/ISDN signalling network, presence of the E.164 VLR number in the Called Party
Address is required.
4.1.3.5 The Interworking MSC (IWMSC) for Short Message Service
The IWMSC is the interface between the mobile network and the network to access to the Short Message
Service Centre. This exchange has an E.164 address known in the HLR or in the MSC.
4.1.3.6 The Equipment Identity Register (EIR)
The EIR address is either unique or could be derived from the IMEI. The type of address is not defined.
Page 43
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

4.1.3.7 Summary table
The following table summarizes the SCCP address used for invoke operations. As a principle, within a
PLMN either an SPC or a GT may be used (network operation option), whereas when addressing an
entity outside the PLMN the GT must be used. The address type mentioned in the table (e.g. MSISDN) is
used as GT or to derive the SPC.
For a response, the originating address passed in the invoke is used. For extra-PLMN addressing the
entity number is used as GT; for intra-PLMN addressing an SPC derived from the entity number may be
used instead. When using an SPC, the SPC may be taken directly from MTP.

NOTE: For initiating the location updating procedure and an authentication information
retrieval from the HLR preceding it, the VLR has to derive the HLR address from the
IMSI of the MS. The result can be an SPC or an E.214 Mobile Global Title. When
continuing the established update location dialogue (as with any other dialogue) the
VLR must derive the routeing information towards the HLR from the Calling Party
Address received with the first responding CONTINUE message until the dialogue
terminating message is received.
For transactions invoked by the VLR after update location completion, the VLR may
derive the information for addressing the HLR from addresses received in the course
of the update location procedure (MSISDN or HLR number) or from the IMSI.
When invoking the Restore Data procedure and an authentication information retrieval
from the HLR preceding it, the VLR must derive the information for addressing the
HLR from the address information received in association with the roaming number
request. This may be either the IMSI received as a parameter of the MAP message
requesting the Roaming Number or the Calling Party Address associated with the
MAP message requesting the Roaming Number.

4.2 Use of TC
The Mobile Application part makes use of the services offered by the Transaction Capabilities (TC) of
signalling system No. 7. ETS 300 287, which is based on CCITT White Book Recommendations Q.771 to
Q.775, should be consulted for the full specification of TC.
The MAP uses all the services provided by TC except the ones related to the unstructured dialogue
facility.
From a modelling perspective, the MAP is viewed as a single Application Service Element. Further
structuring of it is for further study.
Transaction Capabilities refers to a protocol structure above the network layer interface (i.e., the SCCP
service interface) up to the application layer including common application service elements but not the
specific application service elements using them.
TC is structured as a Component sub-layer above a Transaction sub-layer.
The Component sub-layer provides two types of application services: services for the control of
end-to-end dialogues and services for Remote Operation handling. These services are accessed using
the TC-Dialogue handling primitives and TC-Component handling primitives respectively.
Services for dialogue control include the ability to exchange information related to application-context
negotiation as well as initialization data.
Services for Remote Operation handling provide for the exchange of protocol data units invoking tasks
(operations), and reporting their outcomes (results or errors) plus any non-application-specific protocol
errors detected by the component sub-layer. The reporting of application-specific protocol errors by the
TC user, as distinct from application process errors, is also provided. The Transaction sub-layer provides
a simple end-to-end connection association service over which several related protocol data units (i.e.
built by the Component Sub-Layer) can be exchanged. A Transaction termination can be prearranged (no
indication provided to the TC user) or basic (indication provided).

5 General on MAP services
5.1 Terminology and definitions
The term service is used in clauses 5 to 10 as defined in CCITT Recommendation X.200. The service
definition conventions of CCITT Recommendation X.210 are also used.
5.2 Modelling principles
MAP provides its users with a specified set of services and can be viewed by its users as a "black box" or
abstract machine representing the MAP service-provider. The service interface can then be depicted as
shown in figure 5.2/1.
+------------------------+ +-----------------------+
| MAP service-user | | MAP service-user |
+------------------------+ +-----------------------+
| |
- - Service Interface - -
| |
+------------ ---------------------------------- -----------+
| MAP service-provider |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+

Figure 5.2/1: Modelling principles
The MAP service-users interact with the MAP service-provider by issuing or receiving MAP
service-primitives at the service interface.
A MAP service-user may receive services from several instances of the MAP service-provider at the
same time. In such cases the overall procedure is synchronized by the service-user.
The MAP service-primitives are named using the following notation:
MAP-ServicePrimitiveName type
where type can be any of: request (req), indication (ind), response (rsp) or confirm (cnf) (In the user arrow
diagrams type is not indicated in the case of req/ind and indicated as "ack" in the case of rsp/cnf).
The services are further classified as unconfirmed-service, confirmed-service and provider-initiated-
service where the first two categories refer to whether or not the service is confirmed by the
service-provider. The confirmation may or may not correspond to a response provided by the other
service-user.
MAP services are also classified as common MAP services which are available to all MAP service-users,
and MAP service-user specific services which are services available to one or several, but not all, MAP
service-users.
A MAP dialogue is defined as an exchange of information between two MAP users in order to perform a
common task. A MAP dialogue will consist of one or several MAP services.
Page 47
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

5.3 Common MAP services
All MAP service-users require access to services for performing basic application layer functions:
- for establishing and clearing MAP dialogues between peer MAP service-users;
- for accessing functions supported by layers below the applications layer;
- for reporting abnormal situations;
- for handling of different MAP versions;
- for testing whether or not a persistent MAP dialogue is still active at each side.

For these purposes the following common services are defined:
- MAP-OPEN service;
- MAP-CLOSE service;
- MAP-DELIMITER service;
- MAP-U-ABORT service;
- MAP-P-ABORT service;
- MAP-NOTICE service.

In defining the service-primitives the following convention is used for categorizing parameters:
M the inclusion of the parameter is mandatory. The M category can be used for any primitive type and
specifies that the corresponding parameter must be present in the indicated primitive type;

O the inclusion of the parameter is a service-provider option. The O category can be used in
indication and confirm type primitives and is used for parameters that may optionally be included by
the service-provider;

U the inclusion of the parameter is a service-user option. The U category can be used in request and
response type primitives. The inclusion of the corresponding parameter is the choice of the service-
user;

C the inclusion of the parameter is conditional. The C category can be used for the following
purposes:

- to indicate that if the parameter is received from another entity it must be included for the
service being considered;

- to indicate that the service user must decide whether to include the parameter, based on the
context on which the service is used;

- to indicate that one of a number of mutually exclusive parameters must be included (e.g.
parameters indicating a positive result versus parameters indicating a negative result);

- to indicate that a service user optional parameter (marked "U") or a conditional parameter
(marked "C") presented by the service user in a request or response type primitive is to be
presented to the service user in the corresponding indication or confirm type primitive;

(=) when appended to one of the above, this symbol means that the parameter takes the same value
as the parameter appearing immediately to its left;

blank the parameter is not present.

A primitive type may also be without parameters, i.e. no parameter is required with the primitive type; in
this case the corresponding column of the table is empty.

- response rejected by the peer;
- abnormal event received from the peer.
5.4 Sequencing of services
The sequencing of services is shown in figure 5.4/1 and is as follows:
Opening:
The MAP-OPEN service is invoked before any user specific service-primitive is accepted.
The sequence may contain none, one or several user specific service-primitives. If no user
specific service-primitive is contained between the MAP-OPEN and the MAP-DELIMITER
primitives, then this will correspond to sending an empty Begin message in TC. If more than
one user specific service-primitive is included, all are to be sent in the same Begin message.
The sequence ends with a MAP-DELIMITER primitive.

Continuing:
This sequence may not be present in some MAP dialogues. If it is present, it ends with a
MAP-DELIMITER primitive. If more than one user specific service-primitive is included, all
are to be included in the same Continue message.

Closing:
The sequence can only appear after an opening sequence or a continuing sequence. The
sequence may contain none, one or several user specific service-primitives if the
MAP-CLOSE primitive specifies normal release. If no user specific service-primitive is
included, then this will correspond to sending an empty End message in TC. If more than
one user specific service-primitive is included, all are to be sent in the same End message. If
prearranged end is specified, the sequence cannot contain any user specific service-
primitive. The MAP-CLOSE primitive must be sent after all user specific service-primitives
have been delivered to the MAP service-provider.

Aborting:
A MAP service-user can issue a MAP-U-ABORT primitive at any time after the MAP dialogue
has been opened or as a response to an attempt to open a MAP dialogue.

The MAP service-provider may issue at any time a MAP-P-ABORT primitive towards a MAP service-user
for which a MAP dialogue exists.
MAP-U-ABORT primitives and MAP-P-ABORT primitives terminate the MAP dialogue.

Figure 5.4/1: Sequencing of services
If the reason "resource unavailable (short term problem)" is indicated in the MAP-U-ABORT indication
primitive, the MAP service-user may decide to attempt a new MAP dialogue establishment immediately.
Sequencing of user specific service-primitives is done by the MAP service-user and based on rules
applicable for each MAP service-user instance.
A MAP-NOTICE indication primitive may be received at any time during the active period of a MAP
dialogue.

MAP-abort-PDU from the remote MAP service-provider or a MAP-user-abort-PDU
from the remote MAP service-user.
NOTE 3: Only if the opening sequence is pending and if the "Abort Reason" in the TC-U-
ABORT indication is set to "Application Context Not Supported".
NOTE 4: If the "Abort Reason" in the TC-P-ABORT indication is set to a value different from
"Incorrect Transaction Portion".
NOTE 5: Only if the opening sequence is pending and if the "Abort Reason" in the TC-P-
ABORT indication is set to "Incorrect Transaction Portion".

Table 5.5/4: Mapping of TC services onto MAP user specific services
Notes to tables 5.10 and 5.11:
NOTE 1: The mapping is determined by parameters contained in the MAP-xx response
primitive.
NOTE 2: This applies only to TC class 4 operations where the operation is used to pass a result
of another class 2 or class 4 operation.
NOTE 3: The detailed mapping rules are given in clause 13.
NOTE 4: If RESULT-NL components are present they are mapped on to the same MAP-xx
confirm.

5.6.1 Common parameters
The following set of parameters are used in several MAP service-primitives:
5.6.1.1 Invoke Id
This parameter identifies corresponding service primitives. The parameter is supplied by the MAP
service-user and must be unique over each service-user/service-provider interface.
5.6.1.2 Linked Id
This parameter us used for linked services and it takes the value of the invoke Id of the service linked to.
5.6.1.3 Provider error
This parameter is used to indicate a protocol related type of error:
- duplicated invoke Id;
- not supported service;
- mistyped parameter;
- resource limitation;
- initiating release, i.e. the peer has already initiated release of the dialogue and the service has to
be released;
- unexpected response from the peer;
- service completion failure;
- no response from the peer;
- invalid response received.

5.6.1.4 User error
This parameter can take values as follows:
NOTE: The values are grouped in order to improve readability; the grouping has no other
significance.
a) Generic error:
- system failure, i.e. a task cannot be performed because of a problem in another entity. The
type of entity or network resource may be indicated by use of the network resource
parameter;

- data missing, i.e. an optional parameter required by the context is missing;

- unexpected data value, i.e. the data type is formally correct but its value or presence is
unexpected in the current context;

- resource limitation;

- initiating release, i.e. the receiving entity has started the release procedure;

- facility not supported, i.e. the requested facility is not supported by the PLMN.
Page 62
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

b) Identification or numbering problem:
- unknown subscriber, i.e. no such subscription exists;

- number changed, i.e. the subscription does not exist for that number any more;

- unknown MSC;

- unidentified subscriber, i.e. if the subscriber is not contained in the database and it has not or
cannot be established whether or not a subscription exists;

- unallocated roaming number;

- unknown BSS;

- unknown equipment;

- unknown location area.

c) Subscription problem:
- roaming not allowed, i.e. a location updating attempt is made in an area not covered by the
subscription;

- illegal subscriber, i.e. illegality of the access has been established by use of authentication
procedure;

- bearer service not provisioned;

- teleservice not provisioned;

- illegal equipment, i.e. the IMEI check procedure has shown that the IMEI is blacklisted or not
whitelisted.

d) Handover problem:
- invalid target base station, i.e. the identified base station does not exist;

- no radio resource available, i.e. the radio path cannot be established due to radio
congestion;

- no handover number available;

- subsequent handover failure, i.e. handover to a third MSC failed for some reason.

e) Operation and maintenance problem:
- tracing buffer full, i.e. tracing cannot be performed because the tracing capacity is exceeded.

f) Call set-up problem:
- no roaming number available, i.e. a roaming number cannot be allocated because all
available numbers are in use;

- absent subscriber, i.e. the subscriber has activated the detach service or the system detects
the absence condition. If this user error value is used for the short message service, an
additional indication whether or not the message waiting data flag has been set, may be
included;

Page 63
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

- busy subscriber, provides additional information indicating one of three possible categories
of Busy Subscriber:
- Network Determined User Busy (NDUB)
This condition occurs when a call is about to be offered and the information (i.e.
Traffic) channel is busy/not available and the maximum number of total calls has been
reached. The value of maximum number of calls is 1 for the basic call. When the
supplementary service Call Waiting is applicable, the value is n+1, where n is the
maximum number of calls that can be waiting (see GSM 02.01).

- More Calls Allowed
This condition occurs when a call is about to be offered and the called MS is already
busy but the maximum number of total calls has not yet been reached (see
GSM 02.01).

- User Determined User Busy (UDUB)
This condition occurs when a call is offered to an MS and the MS responds "User
Busy" because the subscribers resources (terminal or person using them) are busy
(see GSM 02.01).

- no subscriber reply;

- radio congestion;

- impossible call completion, i.e. the call can neither be established nor forwarded and none of
the above causes will be reported. A list of SS-Code parameter (see subclause 5.6.1.4) may
be appended in order to indicate which supplementary services are active.

- forwarding violation, i.e. the call has already been forwarded the maximum number of times
that is allowed;

- CUG reject, i.e. the call does not pass a CUG check; additional information may also be
given in order to indicate rejection due to e.g. incoming call barred or non-CUG membership.

- call barred. Optionally, additional information may be included for indicating either that the
call meets a barring condition set by the subscriber or that the call is barred for operator
reasons.

g) Supplementary services problem:
- call barred;
- illegal SS operation;
- SS error status;
- SS not available;
- SS subscription violation;
- SS incompatibility;
- negative password check;
- password registration failure;
- Number of Password Attempts;
- USSD Busy;
- Unknown Alphabet.

For definition of these errors see GSM 04.80.
Page 64
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

h) Short message problem:
- SM delivery failure with detailed reason as follows:
- memory capacity exceeded;
- MS protocol error;
- MS not equipped;
- unknown service centre (SC);
- SC congestion;
- invalid SME address;
- subscriber is not an SC subscriber;
- and possibly detailed diagnostic information, coded as specified in GSM 03.40, under
SMS-SUBMIT-REPORT and SMS-DELIVERY-REPORT. If the SM entity which
returns the SM Delivery Failure error includes detailed diagnostic information, it shall
be forwarded in the MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE response.

- message waiting list full, i.e. no further SC address can be added to the message waiting list;

- subscriber busy for MT SMS, i.e. the mobile terminated short message transfer cannot be
completed because another mobile terminated short message transfer is going on.

IMSI
It is only included if the service is not used in an ongoing transaction (e.g. location updating).
MSISDN
It is included either at location updating or when it is changed. The MSISDN sent shall be the basic
MSISDN.
Category
It is included either at location updating or when it is changed.
Subscriber Status
It is included either at location updating or when it is changed.
To apply, remove or update Operator Determined Barring Categories the Subscriber Status is set to
Operator Determined Barring. In this case ODB General Data shall also be present. If the Operator
Determined Barring applies and the subscriber is registered in the HPLMN and HPLMN specific Operator
Determined Barring applies then ODB HPLMN Specific Data shall also be present.
To remove all Operator Determined Barring Categories the Subscriber Status shall be set to "Service
Granted".
Bearer service List
A list of Bearer service parameters (Bearer service is defined in subclause 5.6). A Bearer service
parameter must be the code for an individual Bearer service, except in the cases described below.
The codes for the Bearer service groups "allAlternateSpeech-DataCDA" and "allAlternateSpeech-
DataCDS" shall, if applicable, be sent from the HLR to the VLR as a pair. The codes for the Bearer
service groups "allSpeechFollowedByDataCDA" and "allSpeechFollowedByDataCDS" shall, if applicable,
be sent from the HLR to the VLR as a pair.
If it is included in the Request/Indication, it includes either all Bearer services subscribed (at location
updating or at restoration) or only the ones changed (at subscriber data modification).
If the VLR receives an Indication containing any Bearer service parameters which it does not
support/allocate it returns them in the response to the HLR and therefore discards the unsupported
Bearer services (no error is sent back), except in the cases described below.
If the VLR receives the codes for the Bearer service groups "allSpeechFollowedByDataCDA" and
"allSpeechFollowedByDataCDS" and supports one or more of the circuit-switched synchronous or
asynchronous data rates specified for simple data bearer services, it shall accept the bearer service
codes, and not return them in the response to the HLR. If the VLR does not support any of the circuit-
switched synchronous or asynchronous data rates specified for simple data bearer services, and receives
the pair of codes for "allAlternateSpeech-DataCDA" and "allAlternateSpeech-DataCDS" or the pair of
codes for "allSpeechFollowedByDataCDA" and "allSpeechFollowedByDataCDS", it shall reject the pair of
codes by returning them in the response to the HLR.

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Teleservice List
A list of Teleservice parameters (Teleservice is defined in subclause 5.6). A Teleservice parameter must
be the code for an individual Teleservice.
If it is included in the Request/Indication, it contains either all Teleservices subscribed (at location
updating or at restoration) or the ones changed (at subscriber data modification).
If the VLR receives an Indication containing any Teleservice parameters which it does not
support/allocate it returns them in the response to the HLR and therefore discards the unsupported
Teleservices (no error is sent back).
Forwarding information List
A list of Forwarding information parameters (Forwarding information is defined in subclause 5.6). It
includes Call Forwarding services either at location updating or at restoration or when they are changed.
Each Forwarding information parameter shall be treated independently of all other parameters in the
primitive.
The Forwarding information shall include the SS-Code for an individual call forwarding supplementary
service. The Forwarding information shall contain one or more Forwarding Features (Forwarding Feature
is defined in subclause 5.6).
The Forwarding Feature may include a Basic Service Group. This shall be interpreted according to the
rules in subclause 6.8.1.4.
The Forwarding Feature shall contain an SS-Status parameter.
If the SS-Status indicates that call forwarding is registered then (except for call forwarding unconditional)
the Forwarding Feature shall contain a forwarded-to number and, if available, the forwarded-to
subaddress. In other states the forwarded-to number and, if applicable, the forwarded-to subaddress shall
not be included. For call forwarding unconditional the forwarded-to number and, if applicable, the
forwarded-to subaddress shall not be included. If the VLR does not receive a forwarded-to subaddress
then it shall assume that a forwarded-to subaddress has not been registered.
The Forwarding Feature shall contain the forwarding options (except for call forwarding unconditional
where the forwarding options shall not be included). Bits 3 and 4 of the forwarding options shall be
ignored by the VLR, and may be set to any value by the HLR.
For call forwarding on no reply: If the SS-Status indicates that call forwarding is registered then the
Forwarding Feature shall contain a no reply condition timer. In other states the no reply condition timer
shall not be included.
For call forwarding services other than call forwarding on no reply: The Forwarding Feature shall not
contain a no reply condition timer.
If the VLR receives an Indication containing any Call Forwarding service codes which it does not
support/allocate it returns them to the HLR in the parameter SS-Code List and therefore discards the
unsupported Call Forwarding service codes (no error is sent back).

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Call barring information List
A list of Call barring information parameters (Call barring information is defined in subclause 5.6). It
includes Call Barring services either at location updating or at restoration or when they are changed.
Each Call barring information parameter shall be treated independently of all other parameters in the
primitive.
The Call barring information shall include the SS-Code for an individual call barring supplementary
service. The Call barring information shall contain one or more Call Barring Features (Call Barring
Feature is defined in subclause 5.6).
The Call Barring Feature may include a Basic Service Group. This shall be interpreted according to the
rules in subclause 6.8.1.4.
The Call Barring Feature shall contain an SS-Status parameter.
If the VLR receives an Indication containing any Call Barring service codes which it does not
support/allocate it returns them to the HLR in the parameter SS-Code List and therefore discards the
unsupported Call Barring service codes (no error is sent back).
CUG information List
A list of CUG information list parameters (CUG information is defined in subclause 5.6). It includes CUG
information either at location updating or at restoration or when it is changed.
At location updating, restoration or when there is a change in CUG data, the HLR shall include the
complete CUG-SubscriptionList and, if there are options per basic group, it shall also include the
complete CUG-FeatureList. If there are not options per basic service group the CUG-FeatureList shall not
be included.
When the VLR receives CUG data it shall replace the stored CUG data with the received data set.
If CUG-FeatureList is omitted in the Insert Subscriber Data operation VLR shall interpret that no options
per basic service group exist, and then it shall apply the default values i.e. no outgoing access, no
incoming access, no preferential CUG exists.
If CUG-Feature is received without preferential CUG, the VLR shall interpret that no preferential CUG
applies.
If the VLR detects that there is overlapping in the information received within a dialogue, it shall send the
error Unexpected Data Value.
Note that data consistency between CUG subscription data and CUG feature data is the responsibility of
the HLR.
If the VLR does not support the CUG service it returns its code to the HLR in the parameter SS-Code List
and therefore discards the received information (no error is sent back).
Page 110
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

SS-Data List
A list of SS-Data parameters (SS-Data is defined in subclause 5.6). It is sent for any other supplementary
service than Call Forwarding, Call Barring and CUG either at location updating or at restoration or when
they are changed. Each SS-Data parameter shall be treated independently of all other parameters in the
primitive.
The SS-Data shall include the SS-Code for an individual supplementary service.
The SS-Data shall contain an SS-Status parameter and any subscription options that are applicable to
the service defined by the SS-Code.
The SS-Data may include a Basic Service Group List. This shall be interpreted according to the rules in
subclause 6.8.1.4.
If the VLR receives an Indication containing any supplementary service codes which it does not
support/allocate it returns them to the HLR in the parameter SS-Code List and therefore discards the
unsupported service codes received (no error is sent back).
Operator Determined Barring General data
If it is included in a Request/Indication, it includes all the Operator Determined Barring categories that
may be applied to a subscriber registered in any PLMN. This parameter is only included in a
Request/Indication when the parameter Subscriber Status is set to the value Operator Determined
Barring. Note that all General Operator Determined Barring Categories shall be set to their actual status.
If the VLR receives an Indication containing Operator Determined Barring General Data which shows that
the subscriber is subject to barring not supported by the VLR, it returns Operator Determined Barring
General Data in the response to the HLR to show the barring categories which are not supported by the
VLR.
Operator Determined Barring HPLMN data
It includes all the Operator Determined Barring categories that may be applied only to a subscriber
registered in the HPLMN. Therefore, it shall only be transferred to the VLR when the subscriber is
roaming into the HPLMN and when the parameter Subscriber Status is set to the value Operator
Determined Barring. Note that all HPLMN Operator Determined Barring Categories shall be set to their
actual status.
If Subscriber Status is set to the value Operator Determined Barring and no Operator Determined Barring
HPLMN data is present then the VLR shall not apply any HPLMN specific ODB services to the subscriber.
Roaming Restriction Due To Unsupported Feature
The HLR may decide to include this parameter in the request if certain services or features are indicated
as not supported by the MSC/VLR (e.g. Advice of Charge Charging Level).
If this parameter is sent to the VLR the MSC area is restricted by the HLR and the VLR.

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Regional Subscription Data
If included in the Insert Subscriber Data request this parameter defines the subscribers subscription area
for the addressed VLR (as defined in subclause 5.6). It contains the complete list of up to 10 Zone Codes
that apply to a subscriber in the currently visited PLMN. The HLR shall send only those Zone Codes
which are stored against the CC and NDC of the VLR to be updated.
NOTE: Support of this parameter is a network operator option and it will not be sent to
networks which do not support Regional Subscription.
Regional subscription data that have been stored previously in a subscriber data record in the VLR are
completely replaced by the regional subscription data received in an Insert Subscriber Data indication
during either an Update Location or Restore Data procedure or a stand alone Insert Subscriber data
procedure.
After the regional subscription data are inserted the VLR shall derive whether its location areas are
allowed or not. If the whole MSC area is restricted it will be reported to HLR by returning the Regional
Subscription Response.
The VLR returns a Regional Subscription Response indicating that a problem with the Zone Code has
been detected in one of the following cases:
- Too Many Zone Codes: more than 10 Zone Codes are to be stored in the VLR;

- Regional Subscription Not Supported by the VLR;

- Zone Codes Conflict: the VLR detects that the zone codes indicate conflicting service permission
for a location area.

Zone codes which have no mapping to location areas shall be ignored.
If a sequence of MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA services is used during a dialogue, Regional
Subscription Data shall be accepted only in one service. Regional Subscription Data received in a
subsequent service shall be rejected with the error Unexpected Data Value.
If Regional Subscription Data are not included in any MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA service, there
is no restriction of roaming due to Regional Subscription.
SS-Code List
The list of SS-Code parameters that are provided to a subscriber but are not supported/allocated by the
VLR (SS-Code is defined in subclause 5.6). The list can only include individual SS-Codes that were sent
in the service request.
Regional Subscription Response
If included in the response this parameter indicates one of:
- MSC Area Restricted entirely because of regional subscription;

- Too Many Zone Codes to be inserted;

- Zone Codes Conflict;

- Regional Subscription not Supported by the VLR.

Page 112
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

If the VLR determines after insertion of Regional Subscription Data that the entire MSC area is restricted,
the VLR shall respond with a Regional Subscription Response indicating MSC Area Restricted. Otherwise
MSC Area Restricted is not sent. The HLR shall check whether the current MSC area is no longer
restricted.
User error
Only one of the following values is applicable:
- Unidentified subscriber;

- Data missing;

- Unexpected data value.

6.8.1.4 Basic service information related to supplementary services
A number of parameters that relate to supplementary services can be qualified by a Basic Service Group
(or a Basic Service Group List). This subclause explains how this information is to be interpreted.
Supplementary service parameters to which this subclause is applicable only apply to the basic service
groups described in this subclause, and only those basic service groups shall be overwritten at the VLR.
The Basic Service Group (or Basic Service Group List) is optional.
If present the Basic Service Group (or the elements of the Basic Service Group List) shall be one of:
- an Elementary Basic Service Group for which the supplementary service is applicable to at least
one basic service in the group; and to which the subscriber has a subscription to at least one basic
service in the group;

- the group "All Teleservices" provided that the service is applicable to at least one teleservice and
that the subscriber has a subscription to at least one teleservice that is in the same Elementary
Basic Service Group as a teleservice to which the service is applicable;

- the group "All Bearer Services" provided that the service is applicable to at least one bearer service
and that the subscriber has a subscription to at least one bearer service that is in the same
Elementary Basic Service Group as a basic service to which the service is applicable.

If the Basic Service Group (or Basic Service Group List) is not present then the parameter shall apply to
all Basic Service Groups.
If the basic service information is not a single Elementary Basic Service Group then the parameter shall
be taken as applying individually to all the Elementary Basic Service Groups for which:
- the supplementary service is applicable to at least one basic service in the Basic Service Group;
and

- the subscriber has a subscription to at least one basic service in the Basic Service Group.

The VLR is not required to store supplementary services data for Basic Service Groups that are not
supported at the VLR.

11 General
11.1 Overview
Clauses 11 to 14 specify the protocol elements to be used to provide the MAP services described in
clause 5.
Clause 12 specifies the elements of procedures for the MAP protocol. Clause 13 specifies the mapping
on to TC service primitives. Clause 14 specifies the application contexts, operation packages and
abstract syntaxes for the MAP protocol as well as the encoding rules to be applied.
11.2 Underlying services
The MAP protocol relies on the services provided by the Transaction Capabilities (TC) of signalling
system number 7, as referenced in clause 4.
11.3 Model
The MAP Protocol Machine (MAP PM) can be modelled as a collection of service state machines (SSMs)
- one per MAP specific service invoked - co-ordinated by a MAP dialogue control function with its one
state machine: MAP dialogue state machine (DSM). There are two types of Service State Machines:
Requesting Service State Machines (RSM) and Performing Service State Machines (PSM).
A new invocation of a MAP PM is employed on the receipt of a MAP-OPEN request primitive or a
TC-BEGIN indication primitive. Each invocation controls exactly one MAP dialogue. For each MAP
specific service invoked during a dialogue, a MAP RSM is created at the requestors side and a MAP
PSM is created at the performers side.
This modelling is used only to facilitate understanding and the MAP behaviour descriptions and is not
intended to suggest any implementation. SDL descriptions are organized according to this model.
How the MAP-service-user and the MAP refer to a MAP dialogue (i.e. a MAP PM invocation) is a local
implementation matter.
How TC dialogue identifiers are assigned to a MAP PM invocation is also a local implementation matter.
11.4 Conventions
The behaviour of the MAP PM depends on the application-context-name associated with the dialogue.
One major difference is that the MAP requests the transfer of the application-context-name by TC only for
those contexts which do not belong to the so-called "version one context set".
The "version one context set" is a set of application-contexts which model the behaviour of a MAP V1
implementation according to the latest phase 1 version of GSM 09.02. This set is defined in clause 12.
The procedures described in clause 12 are used when the application-context-name does not refer to a
dialogue between an MSC and its VLR. When the application-context-name refers to a dialogue between
an MSC and its VLR the MAP PM procedures are a local implementation matter.
Page 172
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

12 Elements of procedure
12.1 Dialogue establishment
The establishment of a MAP dialogue involves two MAP-service-users, one that is the dialogue-initiator
and one that is the dialogue-responder.
This procedure is driven by the following signals:
- a MAP-OPEN request primitive from the dialogue-initiator;

- a TC-BEGIN indication primitive occurring at the responding side;

- a MAP-OPEN response primitive from the dialogue-responder;

- the first TC-CONTINUE indication primitive occurring at the initiating side;

and under specific conditions:
- a TC-END indication primitive occurring at the initiating side;

- a TC-U-ABORT indication primitive occurring at the initiating side;

- a TC-P-ABORT indication primitive occurring at the initiating side.

12.1.1 Receipt of a MAP-OPEN request primitive
On receipt of a MAP-OPEN request primitive the behaviour of the MAP PM shall be as follows:
If the application-context-name belongs to the MAP version 1 contexts set, the MAP PM shall construct
an argument for the beginSubscriberActivity operation if a user data parameter is present and request the
invocation of this operation, using the TC-INVOKE service (see note).
NOTE: In practice this should only occur when the application-context is related to
supplementary service handling.
The MAP PM shall then accept zero, one or several user request primitives until a MAP-DELIMITER
request primitive is received.
For each user request primitive, the MAP PM shall request the invocation of the associated operation
using the TC-INVOKE service. See subclause 12.6 for a description of the associated SSMs.
On receipt of the MAP-DELIMITER request primitive the MAP PM shall issue a TC-BEGIN request
primitive. If the application-context-name does not belong to the MAP version 1 context set, this
parameter as well as the user information parameter (if any) shall be mapped to the corresponding TC-
BEGIN parameters.
The requesting MAP PM waits for a TC indication primitive and does not accept any other primitive from
its user, except a MAP-U-ABORT request or a MAP-CLOSE request.
Page 173
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

12.1.2 Receipt of a TC-BEGIN indication
On receipt of a TC-BEGIN indication primitive, the MAP PM shall:
- if no application-context-name is included in the primitive and if the "Components present" indicator
indicates "no components", issue a TC-U-ABORT request primitive

(note 2). The local MAP-User is
not informed.

- if no application-context-name is included in the primitive and if presence of components is
indicated, wait for the first TC-INVOKE primitive, and derive a version 1 application-context-name
from the operation code according to table 12.1/1 (note 1).

NOTE 1: In some cases, it may be necessary to analyse the operation argument.
Then:

a) if no application-context-name can be derived (i.e. the operation code does not exist in MAP
V1 specifications), the MAP PM shall issue a TC-U-ABORT request primitive (note 2). The
local MAP-User is not informed.

b) if an application-context-name can be derived and if it is acceptable from a load control point
of view, the MAP PM shall:

i) if this primitive requests the beginSubscriberActivity operation, the MAP PM shall
check whether more components have been received associated with this operation. If
more components are present, the MAP PM shall issue a MAP-OPEN indication
primitive with the version 1 application-context-name "networkFunctionalSsContext-
v1". The Destination-reference shall include the IMSI taken from the argument of the
beginSubscriberActivity operation; the Originating-reference shall cover the
originatingEntityNumber.

A beginSubscriberActivity operation that is not associated with any other Component
shall be rejected by the MAP PM by issuing a TC-U-ABORT request primitive (note 2).
The local MAP-User shall not be informed.

ii) otherwise, the MAP PM shall issue a MAP-OPEN indication primitive with the version
1 application-context-name set according to table 12.1/1. DestinationReference and
OriginatingReference must not be included in the MAP-OPEN indication primitive.

Then the MAP PM shall function in a way that the dialogue responding MAP behaves as specified
in the GSM phase 1 protocol (latest version of GSM 09.02 phase 1).

NOTE 2: If no AARQ apdu was included in the BEGIN message, TC (Component Sub-layer)
will not include an AARE apdu or an ABRT apdu in a TR-U-ABORT request primitive
that is to be issued on receipt of a TC-U-ABORT request primitive from the local MAP
service provider.
Page 174
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

c) if an application-context-name can be derived but if it is not acceptable from a load control
point of view, the MAP PM shall ignore this dialogue request and not inform the MAP-user;

- if a version 1 application-context-name is included, the MAP PM shall issue a TC-U-
ABORT request primitive with abort-reason "User-specific" and user-information
"MAP-ProviderAbortInfo" indicating "abnormalDialogue". The local MAP-user shall not
be informed.

- if an application-context-name different from version 1 is included in the primitive and
if User-information is present, the User-information must constitute a syntactically
correct MAP-OPEN dialogue PDU. Otherwise a TC-U-ABORT request primitive with
abort-reason "User-specific" and user-information "MAP-ProviderAbortInfo" indicating
"abnormalDialogue" shall be issued and the local MAP-user shall not be informed.

- if no User-information is present it is checked whether presence of User Information in the
TC-BEGIN indication primitive is required for the received application-context-name. If User
Information is required but not present, a TC-U-ABORT request primitive with abort-reason
"User-specific" and user-information "MAP-ProviderAbortInfo" indicating "abnormalDialogue"
shall be issued. The local MAP-user shall not be informed.

- if an application-context-name different from version 1 is received in a syntactically correct
TC-BEGIN indication primitive but is not acceptable from a load control point of view, the
MAP PM shall ignore this dialogue request. The MAP-user is not informed.

- if an application-context-name different from version 1 is received in a syntactically correct
TC-BEGIN indication primitive and if it is acceptable from a load control point of view, the
MAP PM shall check whether the application-context-name is supported.

NOTE 3: Unknown application-context-names are treated like unsupported ones.
If it is, the MAP PM shall issue a MAP-OPEN indication primitive with all parameters
(application-context-name included) set according to the value of the corresponding
parameter of the TC-BEGIN indication primitive.

The MAP PM shall then process any other indication primitives received from TC as described in
subclause 12.6. Once all the received components have been processed, the MAP PM shall inform
the local MAP service user by a MAP-DELIMITER indication primitive.

If the TC-BEGIN indication primitive is not associated with any component, the MAP PM shall
inform the MAP User by a MAP-DELIMITER indication primitive.

Once all the received primitives have been processed, the MAP PM does not accept any primitive
from the provider and waits for a MAP-OPEN response primitive from its user.

- if an application-context-name different from version 1 is received in a syntactically correct
TC-BEGIN indication primitive and if it is acceptable from a load control point of view but the
application-context-name is not supported, the MAP PM shall issue a TC-U-ABORT request
primitive with abort-reason indicating "application-context-not-supported". If an alternative
application-context-name cannot be offered, the received application-context-name shall be
returned in the TC-U-ABORT Req primitive.

Page 175
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

In the following cases an alternative application-context can be offered and its name included in the
TC-U-ABORT Req primitive:

a) if an application-context of version 2 or higher is requested, but only version 1
application-context supported, then the v1 application context shall be returned;

b) if an application-context of version 3 or higher is requested, but only version 2
application-context supported, then the v2 application context shall be returned.

On receipt of a MAP-OPEN response primitive indicating that the dialogue is accepted, the MAP PM shall
build a MAP-Accept PDU if the user-information parameter is included in the response primitive and
accept any MAP specific service request or service response until a MAP-DELIMITER request or a
MAP-CLOSE request is received from the MAP user. The MAP PM shall process the MAP specific
primitives as described in subclause 12.6. The MAP PM shall then issue a TC-CONTINUE request
primitive after it receives the MAP-DELIMITER request primitive if no MAP-CLOSE request primitive has
been received, otherwise it shall issue a TC-END request primitive. In both cases the MAP-Accept PDU
(if any) is included in the user-information parameter of the TC primitive.
If the dialogue is not associated with a version 1 application context, the MAP PM shall include the
application-context-name in the TC primitive.
If no MAP-CLOSE request has been received, the MAP PM waits for a request primitive from its user or
an indication primitive from TC.
On receipt of a MAP-OPEN response primitive indicating that the dialogue is not accepted, the MAP PM
shall build a MAP-Refuse PDU and request its transfer using the TC-U-ABORT req primitive (abort
reason = user specific).
12.1.4 Receipt of the first TC-CONTINUE ind
On receipt of the first TC-CONTINUE indication primitive for a dialogue, the MAP PM shall check the
value of the application-context-name parameter (if any). If this value matches the one used in the
MAP-OPEN request primitive, the MAP PM shall issue a MAP-OPEN confirm primitive with the result
parameter indicating "accepted", then process the following TC component handling indication primitives
as described in subclause 12.6, and then waits for a request primitive from its user or an indication
primitive from TC, otherwise it shall issue a TC-U-ABORT request primitive with a MAP-providerAbort
PDU indicating "abnormal dialogue" and a MAP-P-ABORT indication primitive with the "provider-reason"
parameter indicating "abnormal dialogue".
12.1.5 Receipt of a TC-END ind
On receipt of a TC-END indication primitive in the dialogue initiated state, the MAP PM shall check the
value of the application-context-name parameter (if any). If this value does not match the one used in the
MAP-OPEN request primitive, the MAP PM shall discard any following component handling primitive and
shall issue a MAP-P-ABORT indication primitive with the "provider-reason" parameter indicating
"abnormal dialogue".
Otherwise it shall issue a MAP-OPEN confirm primitive with the result parameter set to "accepted" and
process the following TC component handling indication primitives as described in subclause 12.6; then it
shall issue a MAP-CLOSE indication primitive and return to idle all state machines associated with the
dialogue.

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

12.1.6 Receipt of a TC-U-ABORT ind
On receipt of a TC-U-ABORT indication primitive in the "Dialogue Initiated" state with an abort-reason
parameter indicating "ApplicationContextNotSupported", the MAP PM shall issue a MAP-OPEN confirm
primitive with the result parameter indicating "Dialogue Refused" and the refuse-reason parameter
indicating "ApplicationContextNotSupported".
On receipt of a TC-U-ABORT indication primitive in the "Dialogue Initiated" state with an abort-reason
parameter indicating "User Specific" and without user information, the MAP PM shall issue a MAP-OPEN
confirm primitive with the result parameter indicating "Dialogue Refused" and the refuse-reason
parameter indicating "Potential Version Incompatibility".
On receipt of a TC-U-ABORT indication primitive in the "Dialogue Initiated" state with an abort-reason
parameter indicating "User Specific" and a MAP-Refuse PDU included as user information, the MAP PM
shall issue a MAP-OPEN confirm primitive with the result set to refused and the refuse reason set as
received in the MAP Refuse PDU.
Receipt of a TC-U-ABORT indication primitive with abort-reason "User Specific" and with user information
is described as part of abnormal termination (see subclause 12.4.2).
12.1.7 Receipt of a TC-P-ABORT ind
On receipt of a TC-P-ABORT indication primitive in the "Dialogue Initiated" state with a P-abort parameter
indicating "Incorrect Transaction Portion", the MAP PM shall issue a MAP-OPEN confirm primitive with
the result parameter indicating "Dialogue Refused" and the refuse reason parameter indicating "Potential
Version Incompatibility".
On receipt of a TC-P-ABORT indication primitive in the "Dialogue Initiated" state with a P-abort parameter
indicating "No Common Dialogue Portion", the MAP PM shall issue a MAP-P-ABORT indication primitive
with the provider reason parameter indicating "Version Incompatibility".
Receipt of a TC-P-ABORT indication primitive with another P-abort parameter value is described as part
of abnormal termination (see subclause 12.5.2).
12.2 Dialogue continuation
Once established the dialogue is said to be in a continuation phase.
Both MAP users can request the transfer of MAP APDUs until one of them requests the termination of the
dialogue.
12.2.1 Sending entity
The MAP PM shall accept any MAP specific service request or response primitives and process them as
described in subclause 12.6.
On receipt of a MAP-DELIMITER request primitive, the MAP PM shall issue a TC-CONTINUE request
primitive.
12.2.2 Receiving entity
On receipt of a TC-CONTINUE indication primitive the MAP PM shall accept zero, one or several TC
component handling indication primitives and process them as described in subclause 12.6.
Page 178
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

12.3 Dialogue termination
Both the dialogue-initiator and the dialogue-responder have the ability to request the termination of a
dialogue after it has been established.
The dialogue termination procedure is driven by the following events:
- a MAP-CLOSE request primitive;

- a TC-END indication primitive.

12.3.1 Receipt of a MAP-CLOSE request
On receipt of a MAP-CLOSE request primitive, the MAP PM shall issue a TC-END request primitive and,
if applicable, return to idle the associated active SSMs. Note that if the release method parameter of the
MAP-CLOSE request indicates "normal" the TC-END request primitive will trigger the transmission of
components associated with any user specific request or response primitives which may have been
issued after the last MAP-DELIMITER request.
12.3.2 Receipt of a TC-END indication
On receipt of a TC-END indication primitive, the MAP shall accept any component handling indication
primitives and process them as described in subclause 12.6.
Once all the received primitives have been processed, the MAP PM shall return to idle the associated
SSMs and issue a MAP-CLOSE indication primitive.
12.4 User Abort
Both the dialogue-initiator and the dialogue-responder have the ability to abort a dialogue at any time.
The user abort procedure is driven by one of the following events:
- a MAP-U-ABORT request primitive;

- a TC-U-ABORT indication primitive carrying a MAP-user-abort PDU.

12.4.1 MAP-U-ABORT request
On receipt of a MAP-U-ABORT request the MAP PM shall construct a MAP-user-abort PDU from the
user-reason and diagnostic parameters and issue a TC-U-ABORT request primitive. All state machines
associated with the dialogue are returned to idle.
12.4.2 TC-U-ABORT ind
On receipt of a TC-U-ABORT indication carrying a MAP-user-abort PDU, the MAP PM shall issue a
MAP-U-ABORT indication primitive. The user-reason and diagnostic information elements are mapped to
the corresponding parameters of the MAP-U-ABORT indication primitive.
All state machines associated with the dialogue are returned to idle.
Page 179
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

12.5 Provider Abort
The MAP has the ability to abort a dialogue at both the dialogue-initiator side and the dialogue-responder
side.
The provider abort procedure is driven by one of the following events:
- a MAP PM error situation;
- a TC-P-ABORT indication primitive;
- a TC-U-ABORT indication primitive carrying a MAP-abort PDU.

12.5.1 MAP PM error situation
In the case of an abnormal situation detected at the MAP level during an established dialogue, the MAP
PM shall:
- issue a MAP-P-ABORT indication primitive with the appropriate value of the provider-reason
parameter;

- construct a MAP-abort PDU from the value of these parameters and request its transfer using a
TC-U-ABORT request primitive.

12.5.2 TC-P-ABORT ind
On receipt of a TC-P-ABORT indication, the MAP PM shall issue a MAP-P-ABORT indication primitive.
All state machines associated with the dialogue are returned to idle.
12.5.3 TC-U-ABORT ind
On receipt of a TC-U-ABORT indication carrying a MAP-abort PDU, the MAP PM shall issue a
MAP-P-ABORT indication primitive, with the appropriate value of the provider-reason parameter. The
source parameter shall indicate "MAP-provider".
All state machines associated with the dialogue are returned to idle.
12.6 Procedures for MAP specific services
This subclause describes the MAP procedures for MAP specific services.
These procedures are driven by the following types of events:
- a MAP specific request or a MAP specific MAP response primitive;

- a component handling primitive from TC.

A Service State Machine is activated on receipt of one of the following signals:
- a MAP request primitive, which activates a requesting SSM;

- a TC-INVOKE indication primitive without linked identifier, which activates a responding SSM.

Page 180
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

For component handling primitives there are two types of events:
- events which activate a Service State Machine or which can be related to an existing one;
The procedure elements driven by these events are described in subclauses 12.6.1 to 12.6.4.

- events which cannot be related to a Service State Machine.
The procedure elements driven by these events are described in subclause 12.6.5.

12.6.1 Service invocation
The MAP specific procedures are initiated by the MAP request primitives.
On receipt of a MAP request primitive, the MAP PM shall build an operation argument from the
parameters received in the request primitive and request the invocation of the associated operation using
the TC-INVOKE procedure. If a linked ID parameter is inserted in the primitive this indicates a child
service and implies that the operation on which the service is mapped is linked to the operation on which
the parent service is mapped.
The mapping of MAP specific services on to remote operations is given in table 13.2/1.
12.6.2 Service invocation receipt
On receipt of a TC-INVOKE indication primitive, the MAP PM shall:
- if the invoke ID is already in use by an active service, request the transfer of a reject component
using the TC-U-REJECT request primitive with the appropriate problem code (duplicated invokeID)
and issue a MAP-NOTICE indication primitive with a diagnostic parameter set to "abnormal event
received from the peer";

- if the operation code does not correspond to an operation supported by the application-context,
request the transfer of a reject component using the TC-U-REJECT request primitive, with the
appropriate problem code (unrecognized operation), and issue a MAP-NOTICE indication primitive
with a diagnostic parameter set to "abnormal event received from the peer";

- if a linked ID is included, perform the following checks: If the operation referred to by the linked ID
does not allow linked operations or if the operation code does not correspond to a permitted linked
operation, issue a TC-U-REJECT request primitive with the appropriate problem code (linked
response unexpected or unexpected linked operation) and issue a MAP-NOTICE indication
primitive with an appropriate diagnostic "abnormal event received from the peer";

- if the type of the argument is not the one defined for the operation, request the transfer of a reject
component using the TC-U-REJECT request primitive, with the appropriate problem code
(mistyped parameter), and issue a MAP-NOTICE indication primitive with a diagnostic parameter
set to "abnormal event from the peer";

- if the type of the argument is correct but the values of the information elements it contains do not
permit the type of MAP service being invoked to be determined, request the transfer of an error
component using the TC-U-ERROR request primitive with an error code set to "unexpected data
value" and issue a MAP-NOTICE indication primitive with a diagnostic parameter set to "abnormal
event from the peer";

NOTE 1: These checks are only relevant when there is not a one-to-one mapping between a
service and an operation.

Page 181
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

- if the type of the argument is correct but information elements required for the service being
invoked are missing, request the transfer of an error component using the TC-U-ERROR request
primitive with an error code set to "data missing" and issue a MAP-NOTICE indication primitive with
a diagnostic parameter set to "abnormal event from the peer";

NOTE 2: These checks are only relevant when there is not a one-to-one mapping between a
service and an operation.
- if the type of the argument is correct but contains information elements which are not relevant for
the type of MAP service being invoked, request the transfer of an error component using the
TC-U-ERROR request primitive with an error code set to "unexpected data value" and issue a
MAP-NOTICE indication primitive with a diagnostic parameter set to "abnormal event from the
peer";

NOTE 3: These checks are only relevant when there is not a one-to-one mapping between a
service and an operation.
- Otherwise, issue the relevant MAP indication primitive to the MAP-service-user. If the service is to
be user confirmed, the MAP PM waits for the corresponding response primitive.

12.6.3 Service response
For user confirmed services, the MAP PM shall accept a MAP response primitive and shall:
- if no error indication is included in the primitive and the service maps on to a class 1 or 3 operation,
construct a result information element from the parameters received and request its transfer using
the TC-RESULT-L service and optionally the TC-RESULT-NL service.

The TC-RESULT-NL services shall be used when the user specific parameters of the response primitives
cannot be transferred in a single signalling frame and no segmenting mechanism is available from the
underlying layers. The MAP PM shall issue one or several TC-RESULT-NL request primitives followed by
a TC-RESULT-L primitive. The user parameters shall be split so that each portion contains sufficient
information to construct a value compatible with the type defined for the result of the associated
operation.
- If no error indication is included in the primitive and the service response maps on to a class 4
linked operation, construct an operation argument from the parameters received and request its
transfer using the TC-INVOKE service for this class 4 linked operation. The operation to be invoked
is deduced from the value of the result parameter of the service primitive;

- If an error indication is included in the primitive and the service maps on to a class 1 or 2 operation,
either issue a TC-U-REJECT request primitive if the user error parameter indicates "resource
limitation" or "initiating release", or construct an error parameter from the parameters received and
request its transfer using the TC-U-ERROR request primitive. The error code should be the one
associated with the value of the user error parameter of the response primitive.

NOTE: The only user errors that a MAP user can generate in addition to the list of errors
attached to the operation which is associated with the service are: resource limitation
and initiating release. Any other abnormal situation is detected either by the TC entity
or by the MAP entity.
Page 182
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

- If an error indication is received and the operation maps on to a class 3 operation, or if no error
indication is received but the service maps on to a class 2 operation which has no class 4 linked
operation, return the local service state machine to idle without requesting any service from TC.

12.6.4 Receipt of a response
A component handling indication primitive is considered as driving a response for a confirmed service if
the invoke ID parameter value matches the one stored for the service, or if the linked ID parameter value
matches the one stored for the service and the operation invoked is a class 4 operation. On receipt of a
response (except a TC-L-CANCEL indication) for an unconfirmed service the MAP PM shall issue a
MAP-NOTICE indication primitive with the appropriate provider error (return result unexpected or return
error unexpected).
12.6.4.1 Receipt of a TC-RESULT-NL indication
If the type of the partial result parameter is not compatible with the one defined for the complete result of
this operation, request the transfer of a reject component using the TC-U-REJECT request primitive, with
the appropriate problem code (mistyped parameter) and issue a confirm primitive with the provider error
parameter set to "invalid response received". The MAP PM shall also issue a TC-U-CANCEL request
primitive so that all subsequent result components for this operation are discarded by TC.
Otherwise, store the value of the partial result parameter and wait for subsequent TC-RESULT-NL
indication primitives until a TC-RESULT-L indication primitive is received.
12.6.4.2 Receipt of a TC-RESULT-L indication
If the type of the result parameter is not the one defined for the result of this operation, request the
transfer of a reject component using the TC-U-REJECT request primitive, with the appropriate problem
code (mistyped parameter), and issue a confirm primitive with the provider error parameter set to "invalid
response received".
If the type of the result parameter is correct but does not contain all the information elements required by
the service associated with the invocation, issue a confirm primitive with the provider error parameter set
to "invalid response received".
NOTE 1: These checks are only relevant when there is not a one-to-one mapping between a
service and an operation.
If the type of the result parameter is correct but contains information elements which are not relevant for
the service associated with the invocation are missing, issue a confirm primitive with the provider error
parameter set to "invalid response received".
NOTE 2: These checks are only relevant when there is not a one-to-one mapping between a
service and an operation.
Otherwise, issue a MAP confirm primitive to the MAP-service-user mapping the result parameter of the
TC-RESULT-L primitive on to the MAP specific parameters.
If partial results have been previously received, the value of the partial result parameters shall also be
taken into account before performing the three previous checks.
Page 183
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

12.6.4.3 Receipt of a TC-U-ERROR indication
If the error code is not defined for the MAP or is not one associated with the operation referred to by the
invoke identifier, request the transfer of a reject component using the TC-U-REJECT request primitive,
with the appropriate problem code (unrecognized error or unexpected error), and issue a confirm primitive
with the provider error parameter set to "invalid response received".
If the type of the error parameter is not the one defined for this error, request the transfer of a reject
component using the TC-U-REJECT request primitive, with the appropriate problem code (mistyped
parameter), and issue a confirm primitive with the provider error parameter set to "invalid response
received".
If the type of the error parameter is correct but does not contain all the information elements required by
the service associated with the invocation, issue a confirm primitive with the provider error parameter set
to "invalid response received".
NOTE 1: In some cases, it may be necessary to analyse the operation argument.
If the type of the error parameter is correct but its value includes information elements which are not
relevant for the service associated with the invocation, issue a confirm primitive with the provider error
parameter set to "invalid response received".
NOTE 2: In some cases, it may be necessary to analyse the operation argument.
Otherwise, issue a MAP confirm primitive to the MAP-service-user with the user error parameter set
according to the received error code. If applicable the error parameter is mapped to the diagnostic
parameter.
12.6.4.4 Receipt of a TC-INVOKE indication
A TC-INVOKE indication primitive is considered as carrying a possible response to a specific service if
the linked ID refers to an active specific service and the associated operation is a class 4 operation. Note
that the presence of a linked ID parameter in a TC-INVOKE primitive requesting a non class 4 operation
indicates a child service whose procedures are the same as the procedures for the parent service.
On receipt of a TC-INVOKE indication confirming an active service, the MAP PM shall:
- if the operation code is not defined for MAP or if the operation referred to by the linked ID does not
allow linked operations or if the operation code does not correspond to an allowed linked operation,
issue a TC-U-REJECT request primitive with the appropriate problem code (unrecognized
operation, linked response unexpected or unexpected linked operation). If the service is confirmed,
the MAP shall also issue a Confirm primitive with provider error indication "unexpected response
from the peer", otherwise it may issue a MAP-NOTICE indication primitive with an appropriate
diagnostic "abnormal event received from the peer";

- otherwise issue a confirm primitive mapping the operation argument parameter to the user specific
parameters and setting the result parameter according to the operation code of the linked
operation.

Page 184
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

12.6.4.5 Receipt of a TC-U-REJECT indication
On receipt of a TC-U-REJECT indication primitive which affects a pending service, the MAP PM shall
issue a MAP confirm primitive to the MAP-service-user with the appropriate value of the provider error or
user error parameter.
The mapping of TC invoke problem codes on to MAP Provider Error and MAP User Error parameter
values is described in clause 13.
12.6.4.6 Receipt of a TC-L-REJECT indication
This event occurs when the local TC detects a protocol error in an incoming component which affects an
active specific service.
On receipt of a TC-L-REJECT indicating "return result problem, unexpected return result", the MAP shall
issue a confirm primitive with the parameter provider error indicating "unexpected response from the
peer".
On receipt of a TC-L-REJECT indicating "return error problem, unexpected error result", the MAP shall
issue a confirm primitive with the parameter provider error indicating "unexpected response from the
peer".
Note that when the problem code indicates a general problem, it is considered that the event cannot be
related to an existing SSM even if the invoke Id is provided by TC. This is because whether the invoke Id
refers to a local or remote invocation is ambiguous. The behaviour of the MAP PM in such a case is
described in subclause 12.6.5.3.
12.6.4.7 Receipt of a TC-L-CANCEL indication
On receipt of a TC-L-CANCEL indication, the MAP PM shall:
- if the associated operation is a class 1 operation, issue a confirm primitive with the provider error
cause indicating "no response from the peer";

- if the associated operation is a class 2 operation and no linked operations are defined for this
operation, issue a confirm primitive without parameter (i.e. indicating implicitly the successful
completion of the service);

- if the associated operation is a class 2 operation and has linked operations but none of them has
been invoked, issue a confirm primitive with the provider error parameter indicating "service
completion failure";

- if the associated operation is a class 2 operation and a linked operation invocation has already
been received in response to this operation, ignore the primitive;

- if the associated operation is a class 3 operation, issue a confirm primitive with the provider error
cause indicating "service completion failure";

- if the associated operation is a class 4 operation, ignore the primitive.

NOTE: When a TC-L-CANCEL ind primitive is received before the dialogue has been
confirmed (i.e. no backward message is received by the dialogue initiator node), the
MAP PM shall first issue a MAP-OPEN Cnf primitive with the result parameter
indicating "accepted" (which means that the dialogue is considered as being implicitly
accepted). Then, as indicated above, the TC-L-CANCEL Indication is interpreted
according to the class of the operation to which it refers.
Page 185
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

12.6.5 Other events
This subclause describes the behaviour of the MAP PM on receipt of a component handling indication
primitive which cannot be related to any service or which does not affect a pending one. The MAP user is
only informed that an abnormal event occurred during the associated dialogue. It is up to the MAP user to
abort, continue or terminate the dialogue.
12.6.5.1 Receipt of a TC-U-REJECT
On receipt of a TC-U-REJECT indication primitive which does not affect an active SSM (i.e. indicating a
return result or return error problem), the MAP PM shall issue a MAP-NOTICE indication primitive with the
diagnostic parameter set to "response rejected by the peer".
This is also applicable for invoke problems related to a class 4 linked operation.
12.6.5.2 Receipt of a TC-R-REJECT indication
On receipt of a TC-R-REJECT indication (i.e. when a protocol error has been detected by the peer TC
entity) which does not affect an active SSM, the MAP PM shall either discard this indication or issue a
MAP-NOTICE indication primitive with the provider error indicating "abnormal event detected by the
peer".
In case of notification, it is up to the MAP user to continue, abort or terminate the dialogue. Note also that
for MAP V1 the reject component is received in an END message and therefore the dialogue is
terminated anyway.
12.6.5.3 Receipt of a TC-L-REJECT indication
On receipt of a TC-L-REJECT indication primitive (i.e. when a protocol error has been detected by the
local TC entity) which cannot be related to an active SSM, the MAP PM shall either discard this indication
or issue a MAP-NOTICE indication primitive with the provider error indicating "abnormal event received
from the peer".
In case of notification, it is up to the MAP user to continue, or to terminate the dialogue and implicitly
trigger the transmission of the reject component or to abort the dialogue.
Page 186
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

12.6.6 Parameter checks
As described in the previous subclauses, the MAP PM performs a set of checks to ensure the correctness
of the information elements received; these are:
- check if the syntax and encoding (note) of the operation argument, result or error parameter are
correct.

NOTE: Depending on the implementation, encoding problems on the TC user portion may be
detected at TC level or by the MAP user. In the second case the problem is reported
in a similar manner to a syntactical problem.
The syntax shall be considered incorrect if a mandatory information element is missing in any
constructed element or if the value of an information element is out of the range defined for the
type it is supposed to belong to.

- if there is not a one-to-one mapping between a service and an operation:

i) check if the value of the information elements (generally a single one) permits the MAP PM
to determine the service associated with the operation invocation;

ii) check that there are no information elements which are irrelevant for the indication or a
confirm primitive to be issued;

- check if all the information elements required to built an indication or a confirm primitive are
available.

However some additional checks may have to be performed by the MAP user (see clause 15).
12.6.7 Returning state machines to idle
Unlike TC invocation state machines, service state machines exist at both requestor and performer side.
A service state machine at the requestor side is returned to idle when the MAP-specific confirm primitive
is issued or when the dialogue terminates.
A service state machine at the performer side is returned to idle on receipt of a MAP-specific response
primitive from the MAP user, when the dialogue terminates or at expiry of an implementation dependent
watch-dog timer which is started when the state machine is created.
12.6.8 Load control
As stated in the previous subclauses, before issuing a MAP-OPEN indication primitive the MAP PM
performs a check to verify if there are sufficient resources to open the dialogue taking into account
possible overload conditions.
The decision is based on the priority allocated to the application-context whose name is explicitly included
in the TC-BEGIN indication primitive or implied by the first operation invocation when V1 contexts are in
use. How a V1 application-context-name is derived from an operation code is described in table 12.1/1.
The priority level allocated to each application-context is described in clause 3 tables 3.1/1 and 3.1/2.

13 Mapping on to TC services
13.1 Dialogue control
Dialogue control services are mapped to TC dialogue handling services. The TC-UNI service is not used
by the MAP PM.

the MAP user.
13.1.2.5 Termination
The value of this parameter of the TC-END request primitive is set by the MAP PM on the basis of the
release method parameter of the MAP-CLOSE request primitive, except when the dialogue state machine
is in the state DIALOGUE INITIATED, in which case the Termination parameter shall always indicate
"pre-arranged end".
13.1.2.6 P-Abort-Cause
Values of the P-abort-cause parameter are mapped to the values of the provider-reason parameter of the
MAP-P-ABORT indication primitive according to table 13.1/1, except in the dialogue initiated phase for
the "incorrectTransactionPortion" and "noCommonDialoguePortion" values which are mapped to the
"potential incompatibility problem" value of the refuse-reason parameter of the MAP-OPEN cnf primitive.
The source parameter in the MAP-P-ABORT ind takes the value "TC problem".

13.2 Service specific procedures
Specific services are mapped to TC component handling services.
13.2.1 Directly mapped parameters
The Invoke Id parameter of the MAP request and indication primitive is directly mapped on to the Invoke
Id parameter of the component handling primitives.
13.2.2 Use of other parameters of component handling primitives
13.2.2.1 Dialogue Id
The value of this parameter is associated with the MAP PM invocation in an implementation dependent
manner.
13.2.2.2 Class
The value of this parameter is set by the MAP PM according to the type of the operation to be invoked.

13.2.2.3 Linked Id
When a service response is mapped to a class 4 operation, the value of this parameter is set by the MAP
PM and corresponds to the value assigned by the user to the initial service request (i.e. the value of the
invoke ID parameter of the request primitive). Otherwise if such a parameter is included in MAP
request/indication primitives it is directly mapped to the linked ID parameter of the associated
TC-INVOKE request/indication primitives.
13.2.2.4 Operation
When mapping a request primitive on to a Remote Operations PDU (invoke), the MAP PM shall set the
operation code according to the mapping described in table 13.2/1.
When mapping a response primitive on to a Remote Operations service, the MAP PM shall set the
operation code of the TC-RESULT-L/NL primitive (if required) to the same value as the one received at
invocation time.

13.2.2.5 Error
The error parameter in a TC-U-ERROR indication primitive is mapped to the user error parameter in the
MAP confirm primitive of the service associated with the operation to which the error is attached.
The user error parameter in MAP response primitives is mapped to the error parameter of the
TC-U-ERROR request primitive, except for "initiating-release" and "resource-limitation" which are mapped
to the problem code parameter of the TC-U-REJECT request primitive.
13.2.2.6 Parameters
The parameters of MAP specific request and indication primitives are mapped to the argument parameter
of TC-INVOKE primitives.
The parameters of MAP specific response and confirm primitives are mapped to the result parameter of
TC-RESULT-L primitives, the parameter of TC-U-ERROR primitives or the argument of TC-INVOKE
primitives when mapping on linked class 4 operations is used.
13.2.2.7 Time out
The value of this parameter is set by the MAP PM according to the type of operation invoked.
13.2.2.8 Last component
This parameter is used by the MAP PM as described in CCITT Recommendation Q.711. It is not visible
from the MAP user.

13.3 SDL descriptions
The following SDL specification describes a system which includes three blocks: MAP-user,
MAP-provider and TC.
Such a system resides in each network component supporting MAP and communicates with its peers via
the lower layers of the signalling network which are part of the environment.
Only the MAP-provider is fully described in this subclause. The various type of processes which form the
MAP-User block and the TC block are described respectively in clauses 15 to 21 of this ETS and in
CCITT Recommendation Q.774.
The MAP-Provider block communicates with the MAP_USER via two channels U1 and U2. Via U1 the
MAP-provider receives the MAP request and response primitives. Via U2 it sends the MAP indication and
confirm primitives.
The MAP-Provider block communicates with TC via two channels P1 and P2. Via P1 the MAP-Provider
sends all the TC request primitives. Via P2 it receives all the TC indication primitives.
The MAP-Provider block is composed of the four following types of processes:
a) MAP_DSM: This type of process handles a dialogue. There exists one process instance per
MAP dialogue.

b) LOAD_CTRL: This type of process is in charge of load control. There is only one instance of
this process in each system.

c) PERFORMING_MAP_SSM: This type of process handle a MAP service performed during a
dialogue. An instance of this process is created by the instance of the MAP_DSM process
for each MAP-service to be performed.

d) REQUESTING_MAP_SSM: This type of process handle a MAP service requested during a
dialogue. An instance of this process is created by the instance of the MAP_DSM process
for each requested MAP-service.

A process MAP_DSM exchanges external signals with other blocks as well as internal signals with the
other processes of the MAP-Provider block. The external signals are either MAP service primitives or TC
service primitives.
The signal routes used by the various processes are organized as follows:
a) A process MAP_DSM receives and sends events from/to the MAP_user via signal route
User1/User2. These routes uses respectively channel U1 and U2.

b) A process MAP_DSM receives and sends events from/to the TC via signal route Tc1/Tc2.
These routes uses respectively channel P1 and P2.

c) A process MAP_DSM receives and sends events from/to the LOAD_CTRL process via
signal route Load1/Load2. These routes are internal.

d) A process MAP_DSM sends events to the PERFORMING_MAP_SSM processes via signal
route Intern1. This route is internal.

e) A process MAP_DSM sends events to the REQUESTING_MAP_SSM processes via signal
route Intern2. This route is internal.

Page 195
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

f) A process MAP_PERFORMING_SSM sends events to the MAP_USER via signal route
User4. This route uses channel U2.

g) A process MAP_PERFORMING_SSM sends events to TC via signal route Tc3. This route
uses channel P1.

h) A process MAP_REQUESTING_SSM sends events to the MAP_USER via signal route
User5. This route uses channel U2.

j) A process MAP_REQUESTING_SSM sends events to TC via signal route Tc4. This route
uses channel P1.

14 Abstract syntax of the MAP protocol
14.1 General
This subclause specifies the Abstract Syntaxes for the Mobile Application Part as well as the associated
set of Operations and Errors, using the Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1), defined in CCITT
Recommendation X.208 (1988) with additions as defined in subclause 14.1.4 on Compatibility
Considerations and the OPERATION and ERROR external MACROs, defined in CCITT
Recommendation Q.773.
The Abstract Syntax is defined for all interfaces specified in subclause 2.4 except for the A- and
B-interfaces.
The Mobile Application Part protocol is defined by two Abstract Syntaxes:
- one Abstract Syntax which encompass all Operations; and

- Errors identified by the various MAP subsystem numbers.

This Abstract Syntax represents the set of values each of which is a value of the ASN.1 type
TCAPMessages. MessageType as defined in CCITT Recommendation Q.773 with the ANY DEFINED BY
sections resolved by the operation and error codes included in the ASN.1 module MAP-Protocol.
However, only the subset of this abstract syntax which is required by the procedures defined for an entity
needs to be supported:
- one Abstract Syntax identified by the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value MAP-DialogueInformation.map-
DialogueAS.

This Abstract Syntax represents the set of values each of which is a value of the ASN.1 type
MAP-DialogueInformation.MAP-DialoguePDU. Such a value of the ASN.1 single-ASN.1-type element is
contained within the user-information element of the TCAPMessages.DialoguePortion ASN.1 type. This
Abstract Syntax name is to be used as a direct reference.
14.1.1 Encoding rules
The encoding rules which are applicable to the defined Abstract Syntaxes are the Basic Encoding Rules
for Abstract Syntax Notation One, defined in CCITT Recommendation X.209 with the same exceptions as
in CCITT Recommendation Q.773 section 4 Message Representation.
When the definite form is used for length encoding, a data value of length less than 128 octets must have
the length encoded in the short form.
When the long form is employed to code a length, the minimum number of octets shall be used to code
the length field.
OCTET STRING values and BIT STRING values must be encoded in a primitive form.
There is no restriction to the use of empty constructors (e.g. an empty SEQUENCE type). That is, the
encoding of the content of any data value shall consist of zero, one or more octets.
Page 222
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

14.1.2 Use of TC
The mapping of OPERATION and ERROR to TC components is defined in ETS 300 287 (version 2)
which is based on CCITT Recommendation Q.773 (1992).
NOTE 1: The class of an operation is not stated explicitly but is specified as well in the ASN.1
operation type definition.
Class 1: RESULT and ERROR appear in ASN.1 operation type definition.
Class 2: only ERROR appears in ASN.1 operation type definition.
Class 3: only RESULT appears in ASN.1 operation type definition.
Class 4: both RESULT and ERROR do not appear in ASN.1 operation type definition.
The ASN.1 data type which follows the keywords "ARGUMENT", "PARAMETER" or "RESULT" (for
OPERATION and ERROR) is always optional from a syntactic point of view. However, except when
specifically mentioned, it has to be considered as mandatory from a semantic point of view.
When an optional element is missing in an invoke component or in an inner data structure while it is
required by the context, an error component is returned if specified in the operation type; the associated
type of error is DataMissing. This holds also when the entire parameter of an invoke component is
missing while it is required by the context.
NOTE 2: When a mandatory element is missing in the parameter or inner data structure of any
component, a reject component is returned (if the dialogue still exists). The problem
code to be used is "Mistyped parameter".
The Timer Values used in the operation type definitions are indicated as ASN.1 comment. The Timer
Value Ranges are:
s = from 3 seconds to 10 seconds;
m = from 15 seconds to 30 seconds;
ml = from 1 minute to 10 minutes;
l = from 28 hours to 38 hours.

14.1.3 Use of information elements defined outside MAP
An information element or a set of information elements (messages) transparently carried in the Mobile
Application Part but defined in other recommendation/technical specifications are handled in one of the
following ways:
i) The contents of each information element (without the octets encoding the identifier and the length
in the recommendation/technical specification where it is defined) is carried as the value of an
ASN.1 NamedType derived from the OCTET STRING data type. Additionally, the internal structure
may be explained by means of comments. In case of misalignment the referred to
recommendation/technical specification takes precedence.

ii) The complete information element (including the octets encoding the identifier and the length in the
recommendation/technical specification where it is defined) or set of information elements and the
identity of the associated protocol are carried as the value of the ExternalSignalInfo data type
defined in this ETS. Where more than one information element is carried, the information elements
are sent contiguously with no filler octets between them.

Page 223
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

14.1.4 Compatibility considerations
The following ASN.1 modules are conforming with CCITT Recommendation X.208 (1988), but in addition
Ellipsis Notation ("..." - notation) is used as described in ISO 8824-1/PDAM 3.2 wherever future protocol
extensions are foreseen.
The "..." construct only applies to a SEQUENCE. An entity supporting a version greater 1 shall not reject
unsupported extension following "..." of that SEQUENCE. The Encoding Rules from subclause 14.1.1
apply to every element of the whole Transfer Syntax especially to the ASN.1 type EXTERNAL.
Note that the Ellipses Notation is not supported in a version 1 context. Therefore a SEQUENCE sent in a
version 1 context shall not include any element following "...".
NOTE: Every extension has to follow the superset mechanism defined in ETR 060.
Any change other than in the extension area leads to a new Application Context
version.
PLMN specific extensions shall follow the extension marker and shall be tagged using PRIVATE tags up
to and including 29.
PLMN specific extensions shall not be included in supplementary service operations.
The Abstract Syntaxes of MAP version 2 are in general an extension of the Abstract Syntaxes of MAP
version 1. They are therefore (in general) backward compatible with MAP v1 from the Abstract Syntax
point of View. Exceptions from this backward compatible changes of the Abstract Syntax were made only
for the following reasons:
i) information element was not used by a GSM phase 1 service due to missing or unstable phase 1
service description (e.g. Closed User Group);

ii) information element used only on the MSC-VLR Interface (e.g.
SendInformationForIncomingCallSetUp);

iii) changes with impact only in the error situation (e.g. different Cause Values);

iv) changes on the MAP-AbortInfo.

Changes without impact on the Transfer Syntax are not indicated (e.g. name changes, introduction of
extension marker).
Information Elements added in existing Constructs for version 2 or information elements kept only for
compatibility with version 1 are indicated by ASN.1 comments These comments state which subset of the
abstract syntax must be used in the negotiated application context.
Page 224
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

14.1.5 Structure of the Abstract Syntax of MAP
For each MAP parameter which has to be transferred by a MAP Protocol Data Unit (MAP message),
there is a PDU field (an ASN.1 NamedType) whose ASN.1 identifier has the same name as the
corresponding parameter, except for the differences required by the ASN.1 notation (blanks between
words are removed or replaced by hyphen, the first letter of the first word is lower-case and the first letter
of the following words are capitalized, e.g. "no reply condition time" is mapped to
"noReplyConditionTime"). Additionally some words may be abbreviated as follows:
bs basic service
ch call handling
cug closed user group
ho handover
ic incoming call
id identity
info information
ms mobile service
oc outgoing call
om operation & maintenance
pw Password
sm short message service
ss supplementary service

The MAP protocol is composed of several ASN.1 modules dealing with either operations, errors, data
types, and, if applicable, split into those dealing with mobile services, call handling services,
supplementary services and short message services. For operations and errors no values are assigned,
but only the operation and error types in order to allow use of the defined types also by other protocols
(e.g. GSM 04.80). The values (operation codes and error codes) are defined in a separate module. The
ASN.1 source lines are preceded by line-numbers at the left margin in order to enable the usage of the
cross-reference in appendix A.
The module containing the definition of the operation packages for MAP is:
1. MAP-OperationPackages.

The module containing the definition of the application contexts for MAP is:
2. MAP-ApplicationContexts.

The module containing the data types for the Abstract Syntax to be used for
TCAPMessages.DialoguePortion for MAP is:
3. MAP-DialogueInformation.

The module containing the operation codes and error codes for MAP is:
4. MAP-Protocol.

The modules containing all operation type definitions for MAP are:
5. MAP-MobileServiceOperations;
6. MAP-OperationAndMaintenanceOperations;
7. MAP-CallHandlingOperations;
8. MAP-SupplementaryServiceOperations;
9. MAP-ShortMessageServiceOperations.

Page 225
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

The module containing all error type definitions for MAP is:
10. MAP-Errors.

Modules containing all data type definitions for MAP are:
11. MAP-MS-DataTypes;
12. MAP-OM-DataTypes;
13. MAP-CH-DataTypes;
14. MAP-SS-DataTypes;
15. MAP-SS-Code;
16. MAP-SM-DataTypes;
17. MAP-ER-DataTypes;
18. MAP-CommonDataTypes;
19. MAP-TS-Code;
20. MAP-BS-Code.

References are made also to modules defined outside of this ETS. They are defined in the technical
specification Mobile Services Domain and technical specification Transaction Capability respectively:
MobileDomainDefinitions;
TCAPMessages;
DialoguePDUs.

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

14.2 Operation packages
14.2.1 General aspects
This subclause describes the operation-packages which are used to build the application-contexts
defined in subclause 14.3.
Each operation-package is a specification of the roles of a pair of communicating objects (i.e. a pair of
MAP-Providers), in term of operations which they can invoke of each other.
The grouping of operations into one or several packages does not necessarily imply any grouping in term
of Application Service Elements.
The following ASN.1 MACRO is used to describe operation-packages in this subclause:
OPERATION-PACKAGE MACRO ::=

BEGIN

TYPE NOTATION ::= Symmetric | ConsumerInvokes SupplierInvokes |
empty

VALUE NOTATION ::= value(VALUE OBJECT IDENTIFIER)

Symmetric ::= "OPERATIONS" "{" OperationList "}"

ConsumerInvokes ::= "CONSUMER INVOKES" "{" OperationList "}"

SupplierInvokes ::= "SUPPLIER INVOKES" "{" OperationList "}" | empty

OperationList ::= Operation | OperationList "," Operation

Operation ::= value(OPERATION)

END

Since the application-context definitions provided in subclause 14.3 uses only an informal description
technique, only the type notation is used in the following subclauses to define operation-packages.
The following definitions are used throughout this subclause:
- v1-only operation: An operation which shall only be used in v1 application-contexts;

- v2-only operation: An operation which shall only be used in v2 application-contexts;

- v2-only package: An operation package which contains solely v2-only operations;

- v1-operation: An operation whose specification has not been modified since the MAP v1
specifications or if the modifications are not considered as affecting V1 implementations;

- v1-equivalent operation: The version of an operation which excludes all the information elements
and errors which has been added since MAP v1 specifications;

- v1-package: An operation package which contains only v1- operations.

The names of v1-packages are suffixed by "-v1" while other names are suffixed by "-v2".
Page 227
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

For each operation package which is not v2-only and which does not include only v1-operations, there is

14.3 Application contexts
14.3.1 General aspects
To each dialogue established by a MAP-user is associated an application-context. In this ETS each
application-context is assigned a name which is supplied in the MAP-OPEN Req primitive by the
MAP-User and transmitted to the peer under certain circumstances.
The following ASN.1 MACRO is used to describe the main aspects of application-contexts in the following
subclauses:
APPLICATION-CONTEXT MACRO ::=

BEGIN

TYPE NOTATION ::= Symmetric | InitiatorConsumerOf
ResponderConsumerOf | empty

VALUE NOTATION ::= value(VALUE OBJECT IDENTIFIER)

Symmetric ::= "OPERATIONS OF" "{" PackageList "}"

InitiatorConsumerOf ::= "INITIATOR CONSUMER OF" "{" PackageList "}"

ResponderConsumerOf ::= "RESPONDER CONSUMER OF" "{" PackageList "}"
| empty

PackageList ::= Package | PackageList "," Package

Package ::= value(OPERATION-PACKAGE)
| type -- shall reference a package type

END

The following definitions are used throughout this subclause:
- v1-application-context: An application-context which contains only v1-packages and uses only TC
v1 facilities;

- v1-compatible application-context: An application-context which is a v1-application-context or which
uses TC V2 facilities with only v1-packages;

- v1 context set: the set of v1-application-contexts defined in this ETS.

The name of v1-application-contexts are suffixed by "-v1" while other names are suffixed by "-v2".
Application-contexts which do not belong to the v1 context set uses v2 TC facilities.
The last component of the application-context-name (i.e. the last component of the object identifier value)
assigned to application-context which belong to the v1 context set indicates explicitly "version1".
For each application-context which does not belong to the "v1 context set" there is v1-equivalent
application context. This is a v1-application-context which includes the v1-equivalents of the packages
included in the original context.
Page 235
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Each application-context uses the abstract-syntax associated with the operation-packages it includes and
uses the transfer-syntax derived from it by applying the encoding rules defined in subclause 14.1.1.
Ac which do not belong to the v1 context set require the support of the abstract-syntax identified by the
following object identifier value: MAP-DialogueInformation.map-Dialogue-AS defined in subclause 14.4.

15 General on MAP user procedures
15.1 Introduction
Clauses 15 to 21 describe the use of MAP services for GSM signalling procedures. GSM signalling
procedures may involve one or several interfaces running one or several application protocols. This ETS
addresses only the signalling procedures which require at least the use of one MAP service.
When a signalling procedure takes place in the network, an application process invocation is created in
each system component involved. Part of the application process invocation acts as a MAP user and
handles one or several MAP dialogues. For each dialogue it employs an instance of the MAP service
provider. It may also use other communication services to exchange information on other interfaces, but
detailed description of these aspects is outside the scope of this ETS.
15.2 Common aspects of user procedure descriptions
15.2.1 General conventions
For each signalling procedure this ETS provides a brief textual overview accompanied by a flow diagram
which represent the functional interactions between system components. Functional interactions are
labelled using the MAP service name when the interaction results from a service request or by this
service name followed by the symbol "ack" when this interaction results from a service response.
For each of the system components involved, this ETS also provides a detailed textual description of the
application process behaviour as well as an SDL diagram. SDL diagrams describe the sequence of
events, as seen by the MAP-User, which occurs at MAP service provider boundaries as well as external
events which occur at other interfaces and which impact on the previous sequence.
External events do not necessarily correspond to the messages of other protocols used in the system
component. The MAP-user procedures are described as if a set of interworking functions (IWF) between
the MAP-user and the other protocol entities was implemented (see figure 15.2/1). Such interworking
functions are assumed to perform either an identity mapping or some processing or translation as
required to eliminate information irrelevant to the MAP-user.
The mapping of service primitives on to protocol elements is described in clauses 11 to 14.
GSM signalling procedures are built from one or more sub-procedures (e.g. authentication, ciphering, ....).
Sub-procedures from which signalling procedures are built are represented using SDL MACRO
descriptions.
In case of any discrepancy between the textual descriptions and the SDL descriptions, the latter take
precedence.
15.2.2 Naming conventions
Events related to MAP are represented by MAP service primitives. The signal names used in the SDL
diagrams are derived from the service primitive names defined in clauses 5 to 10, with some lexical
transformations for readability and parsability purposes (blanks between words are replaced by
underscores, the first letter of each word is capitalized).
Events received and sent on other interfaces are named by appending the message or signal name to a
symbol representing the interface type, with some lexical transformations for readability and parsability
purposes (blanks between words are replaced by underscores, the first letter of each word is capitalized).
Page 307
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

The following symbols are used to represent the interface types:
"I": For interfaces to the fixed network. "I" stands for ISUP interface.
"A": For interfaces to BSS (i.e. A-interfaces).
"OM": For network management interfaces (communication with OMC, MML interface, ...).
"SC": For interfaces to a Service Centre.
"HO_CA": For internal interfaces to the Handover Control Application.
"US": For a local USSD application.

These naming conventions can be summarized by the following BNF description:

Figure 15.2/1: Interfaces applicable to the MAP-User
15.2.3 Convention on primitives parameters
15.2.3.1 Open service
When the originating and destination reference parameters shall be included in the MAP-OPEN request
primitive, their value are indicated as a comment to the signal which represents this primitive.
15.2.3.2 Close service
When a pre-arranged released is requested, a comment is attached to the signal which represents the
MAP-CLOSE request primitive. In the absence of comment, a normal release is assumed.
15.2.4 Version handling at dialogue establishment
Unless explicitly indicated in subsequent subclauses, the following principles regarding version handling
procedures at dialogue establishment are applied by the MAP-user:
15.2.4.1 Behaviour at the initiating side
When a MAP user signalling procedure has to be executed, the MAP-user issues a MAP-OPEN request
primitive with an appropriate application-context-name. If several names are supported (i.e. several
versions) a suitable one is selected using the procedures described in clause 3.
If a MAP-OPEN Confirm primitive to a MAP-OPEN request with a result parameter set to "refused" and a
diagnostic parameter indicating "application-context-not-supported" or "potential incompatibility problem",
the MAP-User issues a new MAP-OPEN request primitive with the equivalent version one context. This is
informally represented in the SDL diagrams by a task symbol indicating "Perform V1 procedure".
15.2.4.2 Behaviour at the responding side
On receipt of a MAP-OPEN indication primitive, the MAP-User analyses the application-context-name.
If it refers to a version one context, the associated V1 procedure is executed, otherwise the associated V2
procedure is executed.
Page 309
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

15.2.5 Abort Handling
Unless explicitly indicated in subsequent subclauses, the following principles are applied by the MAP-user
regarding abort handling procedures:
On receipt of a MAP-P-ABORT indication or MAP-U-ABORT Indication primitive from any MAP-provider
invocation, the MAP-User issues a MAP-U-ABORT Request primitive to each MAP-provider invocation
associated with the same user procedure.
If applicable a decision is made to decide if the affected user procedure has to be retried or not.
15.2.6 SDL conventions
The MAP SDLs make use of a number of SDL concepts and conventions, where not all of them may be
widely known. Therefore, this subclause outlines the use of a few concepts and conventions to improve
understanding of the MAP SDLs.
The MAP User SDLs make use of SDL Processes, Procedures and Macros. Processes are independent
from each other even if one process starts another one: The actions of both of them have no ordering in
time. SDL Procedures and Macros are just used to ease writing of the specification: They contain parts of
a behaviour used in several places, and the corresponding Procedure/Macro definition has to be
expanded at the position of the Procedure/Macro call.
All Processes are started at system initialization and live forever, unless process creation/termination is
indicated explicitly (i.e. a process is created by some other process).
The direction of Input/Output Signals in the SDL graphs is used to indicate the entity to which/from which
communication is directed. If a process A communicates in parallel with processes B and C, all
Inputs/Outputs to/from B are directed to one side, whereas communication with C is directed to the other
side. However, there has been no formal convention used that communication to a certain entity (e.g. a
HLR) will always be directed to a certain side (e.g. right).
In each state all those Input Signals are listed, which result in an action and/or state change. If an Input
Signal is not listed in a state, receipt of this input should lead to an implicit consumption without any
action or state change (according to the SDL rules). This implicit consumption is mainly used for receipt of
the MAP DELIMITER indication and for receipt of a MAP CLOSE indication, except for a premature MAP
CLOSE.
15.3 Interaction between MAP Provider and MAP Users
Each MAP User is defined by at least one SDL process. On the dialogue initiating side the MAP User will
create a new instance of a MAP Provider implicit by issuing a MAP-OPEN request. This instance
corresponds to a TC Dialogue and lives as long as the dialogue exists (see also subclause 11.3). There is
a fix relation between MAP User and this Provider instance, i.e. all MAP service primitives from the MAP
User for this dialogue are sent to this instance and all TC components received by this MAP Provider are
mapped onto service primitives sent to this MAP User.
On the receiving side a MAP Provider instance is created implicit by receipt of a TC BEGIN indication.
The corresponding MAP User is determined by the Application Context name included in this primitive,
i.e. each Application Context is associated with one and only one MAP User. An instance of this User will
be created implicit by receiving a MAP-OPEN indication. Note that in some cases there exist several SDL
Processes for one MAP User (Application Context), e.g. the processes Register_SS_HLR,
Erase_SS_HLR, Activate_SS_HLR, Deactivate_SS_HLR, Interrogate_SS_HLR, and Register_Password
for the AC Network_Functional_SS_Handling. In these cases, a coordinator process is introduced acting
as a MAP User, which in turn starts a sub-process depending on the first MAP service primitive received.

16 Mobility procedures
16.1 Location management Procedures
This subclause comprises a number of processes to handle the mobile nature of the subscriber. The
processes will be addressed by SCCP Sub-System Number (MSC, VLR or HLR) and the Application
Context. The following processes are defined in this subclause:
Process Update Location Area:
Initiator: Update_Location_Area_MSC, subclause 16.1.1.2;
Responder: Update_Location_Area_VLR, subclause 16.1.1.3;

Process Update Location:
Initiator: Update_Location_Area_VLR, subclause 16.1.1.3, or
Update_Location_VLR, subclause 16.1.1.6;
Responder: Update_Location_HLR, subclause 16.1.1.4;

Process Send Identification:
Initiator: Update_Location_Area_VLR, subclause 16.1.1.3;
Responder: Send_Identification_VLR, subclause 16.1.1.5;

Process Subscriber Present HLR:
Initiator: Subscriber_Present_HLR, subclause 16.1.1.7;
Responder: Short_Message_Alert_IWMSC, subclause 20.4.3;

Process Cancel Location:
Initiator: Cancel_Location_HLR, subclause 16.1.2.2;
Responder: Cancel_Location_VLR, subclause 16.1.2.3;

Process Detach IMSI:
Initiator: Detach_IMSI_MSC, subclause 16.3.2;
Responder: Detach_IMSI_VLR, subclause 16.3.3.

As both the Update Location Area and the Detach IMSI processes use the same application context
name, the MAP Provider cannot distinguish between them. Therefore, a Location Management
Coordinator Process will act as one user for this application context. This process (one in MSC, one in
VLR) will create the Update Location Area or the Detach IMSI process, depending on the first service
primitive received in the respective dialogue.
Additionally, a Location Management Coordinator process in the HLR coordinates the two application
processes "Update Location HLR" (subclause 16.1.1.4) and "RESTORE_DATA_HLR" (subclause 16.3.3)
that are addressed by the same application context.
Location Management Coordinator MSC
On receipt of a request for location updating from the A-interface, the Location Management Coordinator
in the MSC will:
- create the process Update_Location_Area_MSC in case the updating type indicated in the
A-interface primitive indicates normal updating, periodic updating or IMSI Attach;

- create the process Detach_IMSI_MSC in case the updating type indicated in the A-interface
primitive indicates IMSI Detach.

The respective primitive is then forwarded to the created process. Henceforth, the coordinator will relay all
service primitives from provider to the user and vice versa, until a request or indication for dialogue
termination is received. This last primitive will be relayed, too, before the Coordinator process returns to
idle state.
Page 311
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Location Management Coordinator VLR
On receipt of a dialogue request for the Location Management Application Context (see
Receive_Open_Ind macro in subclause 21.1), the Location_Management_Coordinator will:
- terminate the procedure in case of parameter problems;

- revert to the MAP version one procedure in case the MSC indicated version one protocol; or

- continue as below, if the dialogue is accepted.

Depending on the first service primitive received from the MAP Provider in this dialogue, the user process
is created:
- Update_Location_Area_VLR in case the primitive is a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA
indication;

- Detach_IMSI_VLR in case the primitive is a MAP_DETACH IMSI indication.

In case a MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_P_ABORT or a premature MAP_CLOSE indication is received instead,
the process returns to idle state. If a MAP_NOTICE indication is received, the dialogue towards the MSC
is aborted and the process returns to idle state.
After creation of the user process the service primitive received from the provider is passed to the user
process. Henceforth, the coordinator will relay all service primitives from provider to the user and vice
versa, until a request or indication for dialogue termination is received. This last primitive will be relayed,
too, before the Coordinator process returns to idle state.
Location Management Coordinator HLR
On receipt of a dialogue request for the Location Management Application Context (see
Receive_Open_Ind macro in subclause 21.1), the Location_Management_Coordinator will:
- terminate the process in case of parameter problems; or

- revert to MAP version 1 protocol if the VLR requests version 1 protocol; or

- continue as described in the following, if the dialogue is accepted.

The user process is created depending on the first service primitive received from the MAP service
provider within this dialogue:
- Update_Location_HLR if the primitive is a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION indication;

- RESTORE_DATA_HLR if the primitive is a MAP_RESTORE_DATA indication.

If a MAP_NOTICE indication is received instead, the dialogue towards the MSC is terminated and the
process returns to idle state.
After creation of the user process the service primitive received from the MAP service-provider is passed
to the user process. Henceforth, the coordinator will relay all service primitives from MAP service-provider
to the MAP service-user and vice versa, until a request or indication for dialogue termination is received.
This last primitive will be relayed, too, before the Coordinator process returns to idle state.

16.1.1 Location updating
16.1.1.1 General
The location updating procedure is used to update the location information held in the network. This
location information is used to route incoming calls, short messages and unstructured supplementary
service data to the roaming subscriber. Additionally, this procedure is used to provide the VLR with the
information that a subscriber already registered, but being detached, is reachable again (IMSI Attach, see
GSM 03.12). The use of this Detach / Attach feature is optional for the network operator.
To minimize the updates of the subscribers HLR, the HLR holds only information about the VLR and
MSC the subscriber is attached to. The VLR contains more detailed location information, i.e. the location
area the subscriber is actually roaming in. Therefore, the VLR needs to be updated at each location area
change (see figure 16.1.1/1 for this procedure), whereas the HLR needs updating only in the following
cases:
- when the subscriber registers in a new VLR, i.e. the VLR has no data for that subscriber;

- when the subscriber registers in a new location area of the same VLR and new routing information
is to be provided to the HLR (change of MSC area);

- if the indicator "Confirmed by HLR" or the indicator "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" is set
to "Not Confirmed" because of HLR or VLR restoration, and the VLR receives an indication that the
subscriber is present.

If a mobile subscriber registers in a visitor location register (VLR) not holding any information about this
subscriber and is identified by a temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI) allocated by a previous
visitor location register (PVLR), if the PVLR identity can be derived from LAI the new VLR must obtain the
IMSI from PVLR to identify the HLR to be updated (see figure 16.1.1/2). If the IMSI cannot be retrieved
from PVLR, it is requested from the MS (see figure 16.1.1/3).
The following MAP services are invoked by the location update procedure:
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA (see subclause 6.1);
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION (see subclause 6.1);
MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION (see subclause 6.1);
MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA (see subclause 6.8);
MAP_SEND_IDENTIFICATION (see subclause 6.1);
MAP_PROVIDE_IMSI (see subclause 6.9);
MAP_AUTHENTICATE (see subclause 6.5);
MAP_SET_CIPHERING_MODE (see subclause 6.6);
MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI (see subclause 6.9);
MAP_CHECK_IMEI (see subclause 6.7);
MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE (see subclause 7.2);
MAP_TRACE_SUBSCRIBER_ACTIVITY (see subclause 7.2).

Figure 16.1.1/3: Interface and services for location updating involving both a VLR and an HLR,
when IMSI can not be retrieved from the previous VLR
Page 319
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

16.1.1.2 Detailed procedure in the MSC
Figure 16.1.1/4 shows the MSC process for location register updating, containing macro calls for:
Receive_Open_Cnf subclause 21.1;
Authenticate_MSC subclause 21.5;
Check_IMEI_MSC subclause 21.6;
Obtain_IMSI_MSC subclause 21.8;
Trace_Subscriber_Activity_MSC subclause 21.9.

For structuring purposes, the second part of the process is placed into the macro Update Location
Completion MSC, which is specific to this process (see figure 16.1.1/5).
When the VLR receives an A_LU_REQUEST (normal location updating, periodic location updating or
IMSI attach) for a subscriber via the radio path, the MSC opens a dialogue to the VLR (MAP_OPEN
request without any user specific parameters) and sends a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA request,
containing the parameters provided in the A_LU_REQUEST by the MS or BSS (for the parameter
mapping see GSM 09.10).
If the dialogue is rejected or the VLR indicates a fallback to the version 1 procedure (see
Receive_Open_Cnf macro in subclause 21.1), the MSC will send an A_LU_Rej towards the MS and
terminate the procedure.
If the dialogue is accepted, the VLR will process this updating request, invoking optionally the
MAP_PROVIDE_IMSI, MAP_TRACE_SUBSCRIBER_ACTIVITY, MAP_CHECK_IMEI or the
MAP_AUTHENTICATE services first (see subclause 16.1.1.3 for initiation conditions, subclause 21 for
macros defining the handling of services in the MSC). For these macros there are two possible outcomes:
- a positive outcome, in which case the process continues waiting for the
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA confirmation; or

- an error is reported, in which case the process terminates (not applicable for
Trace_Subscriber_Activity_MSC, which has only a positive outcome).

After receiving the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA indication and handling these optional services,
the VLR will decide whether a new TMSI need to be allocated to the subscriber or not.
Updating without TMSI reallocation
If the VLR does not reallocate the TMSI, the MSC will receive a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA
confirmation next (figure 16.1.1/4).
- if there are no parameters with this primitive, updating was successful and a confirmation will be
sent to the MS;

- if there is an error cause contained in the received primitive, this cause will be mapped to the
corresponding cause in the confirmation sent to the MS (see GSM 09.10 for the mapping of
messages and causes).

Page 320
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Updating including TMSI reallocation
This case is covered by the macro Update Location Completion MSC given in figure 16.1.1/5. The MSC
will upon receipt of a MAP_SET_CIPHERING_MODE request send a ciphering command towards
BSS/MS. Thereafter, the MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI indication and the
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA confirmation are received in arbitrary order, causing a confirmation
on the radio path containing both new LAI and new TMSI. If the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA
confirmation contains any error, the updating request is rejected towards the MS:
- the MS will confirm receipt of the new TMSI, resulting in an empty MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI
response terminating the dialogue;

- if there is no confirmation received from the A-interface, the dialogue is terminated locally.

Before receiving a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA confirmation, the MSC may receive a
MAP_CHECK_IMEI indication. Handling of this indication, comprising IMEI request towards the MS and
IMEI checking request towards the EIR, is given in the macro description in subclause 21.6. The result
may either be to return to the state Wait for TMSI or to return to terminate.
Forwarding the Check SS Indication
When the VLR receives a MAP_FORWARD_CHECK_SS_INDICATION_Ind during the Update
LOCATION Area process, this indication is relayed to the MS (see GSM 09.11 for detailed interworking)
and the MSC remains in the current state.
Abort handling
If the VLR receives a MAP_U_ABORT, a MAP_P_ABORT or a premature MAP_CLOSE indication from
the VLR during the location update process, the MSC terminates the process by sending an
A_LU_CONFIRM containing the error cause Updating Failure to the MS. If the MSC had already
confirmed the location update towards the MS, the process terminates without notification towards the
A-interface.
If the MSC receives a MAP_NOTICE indication, it issues a MAP_CLOSE and terminates the A-interface
dialogue, and the process terminates.
When the procedure is terminated abnormally on the radio path, the dialogue towards the VLR is aborted
with the appropriate diagnostic information, and the procedure terminates.

16.1.1.3 Detailed procedure in the VLR
Figure 16.1.1/6 shows the process for location updating in the VLR. The following general macros are
used:
Receive_Open_Ind subclause 21.1;
Receive_Open_Cn subclause 21.1;
Authenticate_VLR subclause 21.5;
Check_IMEI_VLR subclause 21.6;
Insert_Subscriber_Data_VLR subclause 21.7;
Obtain_IMSI_VLR to request the IMSI for the subscriber subclause 21.8;
Activate_Tracing_VLR and Trace_Subscriber_Activity_VLR subclause 21.9,
Subscriber_Present_VLR subclause 21.10.

Additionally, the process specific macro:
Location_Update_Completion_VLR, for optional initiation of Ciphering and TMSI reallocation as for
acknowledgement of the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA service, see figure 16.1.1/7;

and the optional process specific macro:
VLR_Update_HLR to update the HLR and download subscriber data from there, see
figure 16.1.1/8;

are invoked by this process.
Process Initiation
The location area updating process will be activated by receiving a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA
indication from the MSC. If there are parameter errors in the indication, the process is terminated with the
appropriate error sent in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA response to the MSC. Else, The
behaviour will depend on the subscriber identity received, either an IMSI or an TMSI.
Updating using IMSI
If the subscriber identity is an IMSI, the VLR checks whether the subscriber is unknown (i.e. no IMSI
record). If so, the indicator "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" is set to "Not Confirmed" to initiate
HLR updating later on. If the IMSI is known, the VLR checks whether the previous location area
identification (LAI) provided in the primitive received from the MSC belongs to this VLR. If it does not, the
indicator "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" is set to "Not Confirmed" to initiate HLR updating later
on. The process may continue in both cases with the authentication check (see below).
Updating using TMSI
If the subscriber identity is a TMSI, the VLR checks whether the previous location area identification (LAI)
provided in the primitive received from MSC belongs to an area of this VLR:
- if so, the TMSI will be checked. In case of location area change within a VLR, the TMSI should be
known and the process may continue with the authentication check. Additionally, the indicator
"Location Information Confirmed in HLR" is set to "Not confirmed" and the trace activity status is
checked in case the target Location Area Id belongs to a new MSC.

- if the TMSI is not known or the subscriber data stored are incomplete, e.g. because the new LA
belongs to a different VLR or due to VLR restoration, the indicator "Confirmed by VLR" is set to
"Not Confirmed" to initiate HLR updating later on.

Page 324
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

If the subscriber has not already been registered in the VLR, i.e. the previous LAI belongs to a different
VLR, the indicators "Confirmed by HLR" and "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" are set to "Not
Confirmed" and the VLR checks whether the identity of the Previous VLR (PVLR) is derivable from the
previous LAI:
- if so, the IMSI and authentication parameters are requested from that VLR using the
MAP_SEND_IDENTIFICATION service (see sheet 3 of figure 16.1.1/6), containing the subscribers
TMSI.

- if the dialogue is rejected by the PVLR, the process continues requesting the IMSI from the MS. In
case the PVLR reverts to the MAP version one dialogue, the VLR will perform the respective
procedure of version one, too, with outcomes as for the version two dialogue. Else, the process
waits the for the respective MAP_SEND_IDENTIFICATION response from the PVLR:

- if the IMSI is received in that primitive, the process continues with the authentication check;

- if the IMSI is not received from the previous VLR for any reason, the dialogue to the PVLR is
terminated and the IMSI will be requested from the MS;

- if a MAP_NOTICE indication is received from the PVLR, the dialogue will be terminated by
sending a MAP_CLOSE indication, and the process continues requesting the IMSI from the
MS;

- if a MAP_P_ABORT or MAP_U_ABORT indication is received from the MSC while waiting
for the MAP_SEND_IDENTIFICATION response, the process is terminated;

- if a MAP_NOTICE indication is received from the MSC while waiting for the
MAP_SEND_IDENTIFICATION response, the dialogue with the PVLR will be aborted by
sending a MAP_U_ABORT indication (Remote Operations Failure), the dialogue with the
MSC will be terminated by sending a MAP_CLOSE and the process terminates;

- if the identity of the previous VLR cannot be derived, the process continues by requesting the IMSI
from the MS.

Requesting IMSI from the MS
For requesting the IMSI from the MS, the macro Obtain_IMSI_VLR described in subclause 21.8 is
invoked (see figure 16.1.1/6 sheet 3). The outcome will be:
- OK, i.e. receipt of IMSI, in which case the process continues with the authentication check
described below; or

- receipt of an Absent Subscriber error, indicating that the MS did not respond. In this case the
System Failure error is reported in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA response towards the
MSC and the updating process is terminated;

- aborted, i.e. the MSC dialogue has been released while waiting for the IMSI. In this case the
updating process is terminated, too.

Page 325
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Authentication check
After a subscriber identity has been received, either in the service indication or by an explicit request
procedure, the VLR checks whether authentication of this identity is required (see figure 16.1.1/6 sheet
2). If so, the authentication macro described in subclause 21.5 is invoked. The outcome of this macro can
be:
- OK, i.e. the subscriber has been authenticated successfully, in which case the process is continued
by setting the indicator "Confirmed by Radio Contact" to "Confirmed" and updating the location
information held in the register. Thereafter,
- if one or both of the indicators "Confirmed by HLR" and "Location Information Confirmed in
HLR" is set to "Not Confirmed", HLR updating is invoked first;
- otherwise the process continues with the Location Update Completion VLR macro described
below, and the register is updated after successful completion of this macro.

- Illegal subscriber, i.e. there was a mismatch between expected and received SRES. The VLR
checks whether authentication had been performed using the TMSI, in which case a new
authentication attempt with IMSI may be started (VLR operator option).
- if so, the process continues by requesting the IMSI from the MS;
- else, the Illegal Subscriber error is reported in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA
response.

- Unknown Subscriber, i.e. the IMSI given is unknown in the HLR. In this case, the subscriber data
are deleted in the VLR and the same error is returned in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA
response.

- Procedure error, i.e. the authentication process was unsuccessful for some other reason, e.g.
because of a failure while requesting authentication information from the HLR. In this case the
System Failure error is reported in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA response.

- Null, indicating impossible dialogue continuation (e.g. termination of the radio path), and leading to
procedure termination without any further action.

Updating the HLR
If the HLR is to be updated, the VLR_Update_HLR macro described below is performed, with one of the
following results (see sheet 4 of figure 16.1.1/6):
- OK, if HLR updating has been completed successfully. The response will contain the HLR number
as parameter. Next, the Location_Update_Completion VLR macro is invoked (checking amongst
others the roaming restrictions and regional subscription data), and upon successful outcome of
this macro the register is updated and the process terminates.

- Roaming Not Allowed, qualified by PLMN Roaming Not Allowed if the location information indicates
a PLMN for which the subscriber has no subscription or if the subscribers HLR cannot be reached
(e.g. SS7 links to the subscribers HPLMN do not yet exist). In this case, the error Roaming Not
Allowed qualified by PLMN Roaming Not Allowed is sent in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA
response. The Subscriber Data are deleted in the VLR.

- if Roaming Not Allowed was qualified by the parameter Operator Determined Barring, the same
value is sent in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA response to the MSC. The subscriber data
are deleted in the VLR.

- Unknown Subscriber, if the subscriber is not known in the HLR. In this case, the subscriber data
are deleted in the VLR, and the same error is sent in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA
response.

Page 326
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

- Procedure error, if there occurs some other error during HLR updating (e.g. abort of the connection
to HLR):
- if the VLR can proceed in stand alone mode (VLR operator option), the Location Update
Completion VLR macro is invoked to complete the VLR updating, and the indicator
"Confirmed by HLR" remains unchanged;
- otherwise, the System Failure error is sent in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA
response.

- Aborted, indicating that during HLR updating the MSC dialogue has been terminated. In this case,
the updating process terminates without any further action.

The macro Location Update Completion VLR
This macro completes the VLR updating process. First, the VLR checks whether there is a roaming
restriction for the subscriber (see figure 16.1.1/7):
- if the target LA is not allowed for the subscriber due to national roaming restrictions, the error
Roaming Not Allowed with cause National Roaming Not Allowed is returned in the
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA response towards the MSC.

The subscriber data are not deleted from VLR, to avoid unnecessary HLR updating when roaming
into other LAs of the same MSC. An indication that the subscriber is not allowed to roam is set in
the VLR (LA Not Allowed Flag set to not allowed). As a consequence the subscriber is not
reachable (checked for MTC, SMS and MT USSD) and cannot perform outgoing actions (checked
in Access Management).

- if the target LA is not allowed for the subscriber because of regional subscription data (Zone Code
List) or Roaming Restriction Due To Unsupported Feature stored in the VLR, the error Roaming
Not Allowed with cause Location Area Not Allowed is returned towards the MSC in the
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA response.

Also in this case the subscriber data are not deleted from VLR, to avoid unnecessary HLR updating
when roaming into other LAs of the same MSC. The LA Not Allowed Flag is set to not allowed in
the VLR.

- if, after check of possible roaming restrictions, the subscriber is allowed to roam in the target LA,
the LA Not Allowed Flag is set to allowed (if necessary), the IMSI Detached Flag is set to attached
and the process SUBSCRIBER_PRESENT_VLR is started; this may inform the HLR that the
subscriber is present again to retry an SMS delivery (see subclause 16.1.1.7). Thereafter, the VLR
checks whether TMSI reallocation is required.
- if so, the VLR sends a MAP_SET_CIPHERING_MODE request containing:
- Ciphering Mode (version 1 GSM); and
- Kc, the cipher key to be used.

- if IMEI checking is required by the operator, the VLR will invoke the CHECK_IMEI_VLR macro (see
subclause 21.6) to initiate both requesting IMEI from the MS and checking of this IMEI towards the
EIR. As result either the service is granted, with process continuation as given below, or the service
is rejected, in which case the VLR marks the subscriber as detached and returns an Illegal
Equipment error in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA response before the process
terminates.
- the VLR then sends a MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI request containing the new TMSI, and
the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA response containing no parameters. The process will
thereafter wait for the MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI confirm. If this indicates a negative
outcome, or if a MAP_P_ABORT or a MAP_U_ABORT primitive is received, the old TMSI is
frozen. Subsequent accesses of the MS shall be accepted with both old or new TMSI.

Page 327
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

- if TMSI reallocation is not required, the VLR invokes the CHECK_IMEI_VLR macro (see
subclause 21.6) to initiate both requesting IMEI from the MS and checking of this IMEI towards the
EIR, if IMEI Checking is required by the operator. As a result, either the service is granted, in which
case the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA response is sent without any parameters, or the
service is rejected, in which case an Illegal Equipment error is returned in the
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA response, before the process terminates.

In all cases where the VLR sends a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA response to the MSC, the
dialogue towards the MSC is terminated by a MAP_CLOSE request with parameter Release Method
indicating Normal Release.
The macro VLR Update HLR
This macro is invoked by the VLR process for location updating or by some other process handling the
first subscriber access to the network after a register failure in order to perform HLR updating. If the VLR
does not know the subscribers HLR (e.g. no IMSI translation exists as there are not yet any SS7 links to
the subscribers HPLMN), the error Roaming Not Allowed with cause PLMN Roaming Not Allowed is
returned.
If the subscribers HLR can be reached, the VLR opens a dialogue towards the HLR (see figure 16.1.1/8)
by sending a MAP_OPEN request without any user specific parameters, together with a
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION request containing the parameters:
- IMSI, identifying the subscriber;

- Location Info, containing the MSC number;

- VLR Number, the E.164 address of the VLR, to be used by the HLR when addressing the VLR
henceforth (e.g. when requesting an MSRN);

- the LMSI as an VLR operator option; this is a subscriber identification local to the VLR, used for
fast data base access.

In case the HLR rejects dialogue opening (see subclause 21.1), the VLR will terminate the procedure
indicating procedure error. If the HLR indicates version one protocol to be used, the VLR will revert to the
version one procedure concerning the dialogue with the HLR, with outcomes as for the version two
procedure.
If the HLR accepts the dialogue, the HLR will respond with:
- a MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA indication, handled by the macro Insert_Subs_Data_VLR
defined in subclause 21.7;

NOTE: The HLR may repeat this service several times depending on the amount of data to be
transferred to the VLR and to replace subscription data in case they are not supported
by the VLR.
- a MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE indication, handled by the macro Activate_Tracing_VLR
defined in subclause 21.9;

- a MAP_FORWARD_CHECK_SS_INDICATION_ind. This indication will be relayed to the MSC
without any change of the current state.

Page 328
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

- the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION confirmation:

- if this confirmation contains the HLR Number, this indicates that the HLR has passed all
information and that updating has been successfully completed. The VLR is updated using
the parameters provided in the service and needed by the VLR. If certain parameters are not
needed in the VLR, e.g. because some service is not supported, the corresponding data may
be discarded. The VLR sets the "Confirmed by HLR" and "Location information confirmed in
HLR" indicators to "Confirmed" to indicate successful subscriber data updating;

- if the confirmation contains an User error cause (Unknown Subscriber, Roaming Not Allowed
or some other), the process calling the macro continues accordingly. In the last case, the
subscriber data are marked as incomplete by setting the indicators "Confirmed by HLR" and
"Location information confirmed in HLR" to "Not Confirmed". The same holds if there is a
Provider error or a Data error in the confirmation;

- a MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT, or MAP_CLOSE indication. In these cases, the subscriber
data are marked to be incomplete and the process continues as in the case of an error reported by
the HLR;

- a MAP_NOTICE indication. Then, the dialogue towards the HLR is terminated, the subscriber data
are marked to be incomplete and the process continues as in the case of an error reported by the
HLR;

- if during HLR updating the VLR receives a MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT or a MAP_CLOSE
indication concerning the MSC dialogue, the process is terminated by sending a MAP_U_ABORT
request towards the HLR, and subscriber data are marked to be incomplete;

- if during HLR updating the VLR receives a MAP_NOTICE indication concerning the MSC dialogue,
the dialogue with the MSC is terminated by sending a MAP_CLOSE, the dialogue with the HLR is
terminated by sending a MAP_U_ABORT, subscriber data are marked to be incomplete and the
process is terminated.

Abort Handling
If the VLR receives a MAP_NOTICE indication from the MSC while waiting for a MAP service primitive,
the VLR will terminate the MSC dialogue by sending a MAP_CLOSE and any pending HLR dialogue by
sending a MAP_U_ABORT (Remote Operations Failure), and the process is terminated.

Page 336
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

16.1.1.4 Detailed procedure in the HLR
The following macros are used by this process:
- Receive_Open_Ind, defined in subclause 21.1;
- Check_indication, defined in subclause 21.2;
- Insert_Subs_Data_Framed_HLR, described in subclause 16.4.1;
- Control_Tracing_HLR, described in subclause 21.9.

and the processes Cancel_Location_HLR (see subclause 16.1.2) and Subscriber_Present_HLR (see
subclause 16.1.1.7) are invoked.
The location updating process in the HLR is activated by receipt of a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION
indication (see figure 16.1.1/9):
- if there is a parameter problem in the indication, the error Unexpected Data Value is returned in the
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION response (see Check_indication macro defined in subclause 21.2); if
the subscriber is not known in the HLR, the error Unknown Subscriber is returned in the response.
In either case the process terminates;

- tracing shall be set to deactive in the VLR;

- if the VLR address received in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION indication differs from the one
actually stored against the subscriber, the Cancel_Location_HLR process is started to cancel the
subscriber data in the stored VLR (see subclause 16.1.2).

The next action will be to check whether the subscriber is allowed to roam into the PLMN indicated by the
VLR Number given in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION indication:
- if the subscriber is not allowed to roam into the PLMN, the error Roaming not Allowed with cause
PLMN Roaming Not Allowed is returned in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION response, and the
routing information stored (VLR number, MSC Number, LMSI) is deleted (deregistration);

- otherwise the HLR database will be updated with information received in the indication. The HLR
sets the "MS purged" flag to False and checks whether tracing is required for that subscriber. This
is handled by the macro Control_Tracing_HLR described in subclause 21.9.

Thereafter, the macro Insert_Subs_Data_Framed_HLR described in subclause 16.4.1 is invoked. The
outcome of this macro may be:
- aborted, in which case the process terminates;

- error, in which case the error System Failure is returned in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION
response and the process terminates;

- OK, indicating successful outcome of downloading the subscriber data to the VLR.

The SUBSCRIBER_PRESENT_HLR process is then started to alert the Short Message Service Centre, if
required (see subclause 16.1.7). Additionally, the MAP_FORWARD_CHECK_SS_INDICATION request is
sent to inform the subscriber about an uncertain state of his SS-Data if this is needed due to previous
HLR restoration (use of this service may be omitted as an HLR operator option).
Finally the HLR number is returned in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION response.
In all cases where the HLR sends a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION response to the VLR, the dialogue
towards the VLR is terminated by a MAP_CLOSE request with parameter Release Method indicating
Normal Release.

16.1.1.5 Send Identification
16.1.1.5.1 General
This service is invoked by a VLR when it receives a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA indication
containing a LAI indicating that the subscriber was registered in a different VLR (henceforth called the
Previous VLR, PVLR). If the identity of the PVLR is derivable for the VLR (usually if both are within the
same network), the IMSI and authentication sets are requested from the PVLR (see subclause 16.1.1.3),
using the service described in subclause 6.1.4.

16.1.1.5.2 Detailed procedure in the VLR
The VLR procedure is part of the location area updating process described in subclause 16.1.1.3, see
also figure 16.1.1/6 sheet 3.
16.1.1.5.3 Detailed procedure in the PVLR
On receipt of a dialogue request for the Send Identification procedure, (see Receive_Open_Ind macro in
subclause 21.1), the PVLR will:
- terminate the procedure in case of parameter problems;

- revert to the MAP version one procedure (Send Parameters with request for IMSI plus
authentication sets) in case the VLR indicated version one protocol; or

- continue as below, if the dialogue is accepted.

If the PVLR process receives a MAP_NOTICE indication, it terminates the dialogue by sending a
MAP_CLOSE request.
If the PVLR process receives a MAP_SEND_IDENTIFICATION indication from the VLR (see
figure 16.1.1/11), it checks whether the subscriber identity provided is known:
- if so, the IMSI and - if available - authentication parameters for the subscriber are returned in the
MAP_SEND_IDENTIFICATION response;

- if not, the error Unidentified Subscriber is returned in the MAP_SEND_IDENTIFICATION response.

In all cases where the PVLR sends a MAP_SEND_IDENTIFICATION response to the VLR, the dialogue
towards the VLR is terminated by a MAP_CLOSE request with parameter Release Method indicating
Normal Release.

16.1.1.6 The Process Update Location VLR
This process is started by some other MAP user process in case the HLR need to be updated due to
previous network failure. It is invoked when the subscriber accesses the network, e.g. for mobile
originated call set-up, response to paging or supplementary services handling. Here, location updating
consists only of invoking the macro VLR_Update_HLR described above (see subclause 16.1.1.3), which
performs HLR updating and downloading of subscriber data.
If updating is successful (OK) the HLR Number is received in the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION
confirm primitive and the process terminates.

If one of the errors Roaming not Allowed or Unknown Subscriber is received instead, all subscriber
data are deleted from the VLR before the process terminates.

In case some other error occurs during HLR updating, the process simply terminates. Note, in all
error cases the initiating restoration flags in VLR remain false, therefore a new HLR updating
attempt will be started later on.

NOTE: This process will be performed independent from the calling process, no coordination
is required.

16.1.1.7 The Process Subscriber Present HLR
The process Subscriber Present HLR is started by the location updating process in HLR to perform
actions required for short message alerting. The process checks the Message Waiting Data flag, and if
this is set, the macro Alert_Service_Centre_HLR defined in subclause 21.10 is invoked. This macro will
alert all service centres from which there are short messages waiting for this subscriber.

16.1.2 Location Cancellation
16.1.2.1 General
The purpose of this process is to delete a subscribers record from a previous visitor location register after
she has registered with a new visitor location register. The procedure may also be used if the subscribers
record is to be deleted for other operator determined purposes, e.g. withdrawal of subscription, imposition
of roaming restrictions or modifications to the subscription which result in roaming restrictions. Location
cancellation can be used to enforce location updating including updating of subscriber data in the VLR at
the next subscriber access.
In all cases, the process is performed independently of the invoking process (e.g. Location Updating).
The service as described in subclause 6.1.3 is invoked when an HLR receives a
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION indication from a VLR other than that stored in its table for this subscriber.
Additionally the service may be invoked by operator intervention. The MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION service
is in any case invoked towards the VLR whose identity is contained in the HLR table.

Figure 16.1.2/1: Interface and services for Location Cancellation
16.1.2.2 Detailed procedure in the HLR
The location cancellation process is started by an external process as stated above. The HLR opens a
dialogue with the VLR whose identity is contained in the HLR table (MAP_OPEN request without any user
specific parameters), sending the MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION request primitive (see figure 16.1.2/2),
containing the parameters:
- IMSI, to identify the subscriber to be deleted from that VLR;
- LMSI, which is included if available in the HLR.

The HLR then waits for the MAP_OPEN confirmation (see macro Receive_Open_Cnf, subclause 21.1),
indicating either:
- reject of the dialogue (process terminates);

- reversion to version one (process will be performed according to MAP version one); or

- dialogue acceptance.
Page 346
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

When the VLR accepts the dialogue, it will return a MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION confirmation, containing:
- no parameter, indicating successful outcome of the procedure;

- a user error, provider error or a data error indicating unsuccessful outcome of the procedure.

In case of unsuccessful outcome or if a MAP_P_ABORT indication has been received, the HLR may
repeat the MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION request later, where the number of repeat attempts and time in
between are HLR operator options, depending on the error returned by the VLR.
16.1.2.3 Detailed procedure in the VLR
Opening of the dialogue is described in the macro Receive_Open_Ind in subclause 21.1, with outcomes:
- reversion to version one procedure;

- procedure termination; or

- dialogue acceptance, with processing as below.

If the VLR process receives a MAP_NOTICE indication, it terminates the dialogue by sending a
MAP_CLOSE request.
If the VLR process receives a MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION indication from the HLR (see figure 16.1.2/3),
the parameters are checked first (macro Check_Indication, see subclause 21.2). In case of parameter
problems the appropriate error is sent in the MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION response.
If the MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION indication contains both the IMSI and the LMSI, the VLR checks
whether the stored IMSI matches the received IMSI. If it does not, the VLR attempts to process the
request using the IMSI received from the HLR to define the subscriber record to be deleted.
Thereafter the VLR checks whether the subscriber identity provided is known in the VLR:
- if so, the data of the subscriber are deleted from VLR table and a MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION
response is returned without any parameters;

- if not, location cancellation is regarded as being successful, too, and the
MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION response is returned without any parameters.

In either case, after sending the MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION response the VLR process releases any
TMSI which may be associated with the IMSI of the subscriber, terminates the dialogue (MAP_CLOSE
with Release Method Normal Release) and returns to the idle state.

16.1.3 Detach IMSI
16.1.3.1 General
On receipt of an A_LU_REQUEST (DETACH IMSI) indication from the radio interface this procedure
invokes the MAP_DETACH_IMSI service described in subclause 6.1.5 in order to inform the visitor
location register that a subscriber is no longer reachable (see figure 16.1.3/1), e.g. due to switched off
station. This information is used by the VLR to reject mobile terminating calls or short messages without
sending page messages on the radio path. The service is unconfirmed as it is likely that the MS is
switched off before receiving a confirmation.
The detach IMSI feature is optional for the network operator. The MS is informed by the network whether
detach IMSI is to be used or not.

Figure 16.1.3/1: Interface and services for MAP_DETACH_IMSI
16.1.3.2 Detailed procedure in the MSC
The MAP_DETACH_IMSI service is invoked by the MSC when receiving an A_LU_Request (DETACH
IMSI) for a subscriber (see figure 16.1.3/2).
The MSC will open the dialogue to the VLR with a MAP_OPEN request containing no user specific
parameters. The MAP_DETACH_IMSI request will contain the following parameter received from the
radio side (for the mapping see GSM 09.10):
- Subscriber Id, being either a TMSI or an IMSI.

The MSC then waits for the MAP_OPEN confirmation (see macro Receive_Open_Cnf, subclause 21.1),
indicating either:
- reject of dialogue (process terminates);

- reversion to version one (process will be repeated according to MAP version one); or

- dialogue acceptance.

Thereafter, the dialogue is terminated locally by the MSC (MAP_CLOSE request with Release Method
Prearranged End).

16.1.3.3 Detailed procedure in the VLR
When the VLR receives a MAP_DETACH_IMSI indication (see figure 16.1.3/3), it first checks the
indication data (macro Check_Indication, see subclause 21.2). Thereafter it is checked whether the
subscriber is known:
- if the subscriber is unknown the VLR ignores the indication;

- if the subscriber is known in the VLR, the IMSI detached flag is set.

The VLR process will terminate the dialogue locally (MAP_CLOSE request with Release Method
Prearranged End).

16.1.4 Purge MS
16.1.4.1 General
When the VLR receives an indication on the O&M interface that the MS record is to be purged (either
because of administrative action or because the MS has been inactive for an extended period), this
procedure invokes the MAP_PURGE_MS service described in subclause 6.1.6 to request the HLR to set
the "MS purged" flag for the MS so that any request for routing information for a mobile terminated call or
a mobile terminated short message will be treated as if the MS is not reachable. The message flow is
shown in figure 16.1.4/1.
It is optional for the network operator to delete MS records from the VLR, but if the option is used the VLR
shall notify the HLR when a record has been deleted.
The O&M process in the VLR must ensure that during the MS purging procedure any other attempt to
access the MS record is blocked, to maintain consistency of data.

Figure 16.1.4/1: Interface and services for MAP_PURGE_MS
16.1.4.2 Detailed procedure in the VLR
When the VLR receives an indication from O&M that an MS record is to be purged, it invokes the
MAP_PURGE_MS service (see figure 16.1.4/2).
The VLR opens the dialogue to the HLR with a MAP_OPEN request containing no user specific
parameters. The MAP_PURGE_MS request contains the IMSI of the MS which is to be purged and the
VLR number.
The VLR then waits for the MAP_OPEN confirmation (see macro Receive_Open_Cnf, subclause 21.1),
indicating one of:
- rejection of the dialogue (process terminates);

- reversion to version one (process terminates);

- dialogue acceptance.

If the HLR accepts the dialogue it returns a MAP_PURGE_MS confirmation, containing no parameter,
indicating successful outcome of the procedure.
If a MAP_PURGE_MS confirmation containing a provider error, data error or user error, or a
MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_NOTICE or premature MAP_CLOSE indication, has been received, the failure is
reported to the O&M interface. Successful outcome of the procedure leads to deletion of the subscriber
data and freezing of the TMSI, and is reported to the O&M interface.
Page 354
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

16.1.4.3 Detailed procedure in the HLR
Opening of the dialogue is described in the macro Receive_Open_Ind in subclause 21.1. The possible
outcomes are:
- termination of the procedure if the AC indicates a version 1 dialogue, as this procedure is defined
only for version 2;

- termination of the procedure if there is an error;

- dialogue acceptance, in which case the procedure is as described below.

If the HLR receives a MAP_NOTICE indication, it terminates the dialogue by sending a MAP_CLOSE
request.
If the HLR receives a MAP_PURGE_MS indication (see figure 16.1.4/3), it first checks the indication data
(macro Check_Indication, see subclause 21.2). If there is a parameter error the HLR terminates the
dialogue by sending a MAP_CLOSE request (local termination). If there is no parameter error the HLR
then checks whether the subscriber is known.
- if the subscriber is unknown, the HLR reports an error to the O&M interface, and terminates the
dialogue by sending a MAP_CLOSE request (local termination);

- if the subscriber is known, the HLR checks whether the purging notification came from the VLR
where the MS was last registered:

- if the received VLR number and the stored VLR number match, the HLR sets the "MS
purged" flag for the subscriber and sends a MAP_PURGE_MS response containing an
empty result to indicate successful outcome;

- if the received VLR number and the stored VLR number do not match, the HLR sends a
MAP_PURGE_MS response containing an empty result to indicate successful outcome.
Since the MS is known by the HLR to be in a different VLR area, it is not appropriate to block
mobile terminated calls or short messages to the MS, but the VLR which initiated the purging
procedure can safely purge its record for the MS.

In either cases of successful termination the HLR terminates the dialogue by sending a MAP_CLOSE
request.

16.2 Handover procedure
16.2.1 General
The handover between different MSCs is called Inter-MSC handover. The interfaces involved for
Inter-MSC handover are shown in figure 16.2/1. Following two Inter-MSC handover procedures apply:
1) Basic Inter-MSC handover:

The call is handed over from the controlling MSC, called MSC-A to another MSC, called MSC-B
(figure 16.2/1a).

Figure 16.2/2 shows a successful handover between MSC-A and MSC-B including a request for
handover number allocation by MSC-B to VLR-B.

2) Subsequent Inter-MSC handover:

After the call has been handed over from MSC-A to MSC-B, a handover to either MSC-A
(figure 16.2/1a) or to a third MSC (MSC-B) (figure 16.2/1b) is necessary in order to continue the
connection.

Figure 16.2/3 shows a successful subsequent handover.

b) Subsequent handover procedure MSC-B to MSC-B.
Figure 16.2/1: Interface structure for handover
The MAP handover procedures achieve the functionality required to set up an MSC-MSC dialogue, to
optionally allocate a handover number and to transport BSSAP messages.
The transported BSSAP messages are controlled and handled by the Handover Control Application in the
MSCs. This information will be transparent to the MAP protocol. If the MSC receives via the MAP protocol
BSSAP messages, this information will be forwarded to the Handover Control Application (shown in the
handover SDL diagrams with the internal HO_CA signalling, it is an internal process in the MSC) and vice
versa if the Handover Control Application requires the sending of BSSAP messages via the MAP
protocol.

NOTE: This can be sent at any time after the connection between MSC-A and MSC-B is established.

16.2.2 Handover procedure in MSC-A
This subclause describes the handover procedure in MSC-A, including the request for a basic handover
to another MSC (MSC-B), subsequent handover to a third MSC (MSC-B) or back to the controlling MSC
(MSC-A).
16.2.2.1 Basic handover
When MSC-A has decided that a call has to be handed over to MSC-B, the Handover Control Application
in MSC-A requests the MAP application to initiate the MAP_PREPARE_HANDOVER request to MSC-B.
MSC-A opens the dialogue to MSC-B with a MAP_OPEN request containing no user specific parameters
and sends a MAP_PREPARE_HANDOVER request. This request may optionally contain an indication
that a handover number allocation is not required, targetCellId, for compatibility reasons, and all
information required by MSC-B to allocate the necessary radio resources.
If MSC-B accepts the dialogue, it returns a MAP_PREPARE_HANDOVER confirmation containing a
handover number, unless the request has included the HO-NumberNotRequired parameter, and BSSAP
information which is forwarded to and handled by the Handover Control Application in MSC-A.
Optionally MSC-A can receive, after a MAP_PREPARE_HANDOVER confirmation, a
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_SIGNALLING indication containing BSSAP information.
When the connection has been established between the MS and MSC-B, MSC-A will be informed by a
MAP_SEND_END_SIGNAL indication.
When MSC-A wants to clear the connection with BSS-B, an indication from the Handover Control
Application is received in the Map Application to send the MAP_SEND_END-SIGNAL response to MSC-B
to close the MAP dialogue.
MSC-A may abort the handover procedure at any time (e.g. if the call is cleared).
16.2.2.2 Handling of access signalling
If required, the Handover Control Application in MSC-A requests the MAP application to invoke the
MAP_FORWARD_ACCESS_SIGNALLING request containing the information to be transferred to the
A-interface of MSC-B (e.g. call control information).
MAP_FORWARD_ACCESS_SIGNALLING is a non-confirmed service.
MSC-B will then forward the required information to the Handover Control Application. The
MAP_FORWARD_ACCESS_SIGNALLING is composed in such a way that the information can be
passed transparently to the A-interface for call control and mobility management information. Any
response received in MSC-B from the A-interface that should be brought to MSC-A will require a new
independent request from the Handover Control Application in MSC-B to MSC-A by invoking a
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_SIGNALLING request.
16.2.2.3 Other procedures in stable handover situation
During a call and after handover, a number of procedures between MSC-A and BSS-B controlled by or
reported to MSC-A may be initiated in both directions by invoking a
MAP_FORWARD_ACCESS_SIGNALLING request and reception of a
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_SIGNALLING indication.
Page 362
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

16.2.2.4 Subsequent handover
When MSC-A receives a MAP_PREPARE_SUBSEQUENT_HANDOVER request, it will start the
procedure of handing the call over to a third MSC (MSC-B), or back to the controlling MSC (MSC-A). If
the new handover procedure towards MSC-B or MSC-A is successful, the handover control application in
MSC-A will request the release of the dialogue towards MSC-B by sending the
MAP_SEND_END_SIGNAL confirmation.
16.2.2.5 SDL Diagrams
The SDL diagrams on the following pages describe the user processes in MSC-A for the procedures
described in this subclause.
The services used are defined in subclause 6.4.
NOTE: The message primitives HO_CA_MESSAGE used in the SDL-Diagrams are used to
show the internal co-ordination between the MAP application and the Handover
Control Application. For a detailed description of the co-ordination between the
applications for the handover procedure, see GSM 03.09.
Note that in case of reception of errors from the MSCs (see the Handover error handling macro), the MAP
user reports them to the Handover Control Application and does not take any action except in cases
explicitly mentioned in the SDL diagrams.

16.2.3 Handover procedure in MSC-B
This subclause describes the handover procedure in MSC-B, including the request for a handover from
another MSC (MSC-A), subsequent handover to a third MSC (MSC-B) or back to the controlling MSC
(MSC-A).
16.2.3.1 Basic handover
Opening of the dialogue is described in the macro Receive_Open_Ind in subclause 21.1.
When MSC-B process receives a MAP_PREPARE_HANDOVER indication from MSC-A, MSC-B
requests its associated VLR to provide a handover number, unless the parameter HO-
NumberNotRequired is received in the indication.
When the connection between the MS and MSC-B is established on MSC-B, the Handover Control
Application will request the MAP application to indicate this event to MSC-A by invoking the
MAP_SEND_END_SIGNAL request. When a call is released, MSC-A will inform MSC-B by
MAP_SEND_END_SIGNAL response and the MAP dialogue between MSC-A and MSC-B is closed.
16.2.3.2 Allocation of handover number
When a handover number is required, a MAP_ALLOCATE_HANDOVER_NUMBER request will be sent
to the VLR. The handover number is received in the MAP_SEND_HANDOVER_REPORT request, and
will be included in the MAP_PREPARE_HANDOVER response to MSC-A.
As soon as the call from MSC-A using the handover number arrives in MSC-B, MSC-B shall release the
handover number in the VLR using the MAP_SEND_HANDOVER_REPORT response.
16.2.3.3 Handling of access signalling
If required by the Handover Control Application, MSC-B invokes the
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_SIGNALLING request containing the information received on the A-interface
that should be transferred to MSC-A (e.g. call control information).
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_SIGNALLING is a non-confirmed service and any response from MSC-A will
require a MAP_FORWARD_ACCESS_SIGNALLING request.
16.2.3.4 Other procedures in stable handover situation
During a call and after handover, a number of procedures between MSC-A and BSS-B controlled by or
reported to MSC-A may be initiated by involving access signalling transfer in both directions.
16.2.3.5 Subsequent handover
The procedure is used when the Handover Control Application in MSC-B has decided that a call is to be
handed over to another MSC (either back to the controlling MSC (MSC-A) or to a third MSC (MSC-B)).
After the MAP_PREPARE_SUBSEQUENT_HANDOVER response is received from MSC-A, MSC-B will
await the disconnection of the call. Once the disconnect is complete, MSC-B will inform its VLR by
invoking the MAP_SEND_HANDOVER_REPORT confirmation. VLR-B will then release the allocated
handover number.
The subsequent handover procedure is shown in figure 16.2/3.

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

16.2.3.6 SDL Diagrams
The SDL diagrams on the following pages describe the user process in MSC-B for the procedures
described in this subclause.
The services used are defined in subclause 6.4.
NOTE 1: The message primitives HO_CA_MESSAGE in the SDL-diagrams are used to show
the internal co-ordination between the MAP application and the Handover Control
Application. For a detailed description of the co-ordination between the applications for
the handover procedure, see GSM 03.09.
NOTE 2: The order in the SDL diagrams to allocate first the handover number and then the
radio resources is not binding.

16.2.4 Handover error handling macro
This macro is used for the handover procedures to receive errors from the MSCs and from the Handover
Control Application at any state of a handover process.
If a MAP_NOTICE indication is received, the Handover Control Application is informed and the actual
situation is kept and the Handover Control Application decides how the handover process should
continue. In all other cases the MSC is returned to a "NULL" state.

16.2.5.1 Allocation of handover number
When receiving the MAP_ALLOCATE_HANDOVER_NUMBER indication, the VLR will determine
whether a handover number is available. If no handover number is available, this will be indicated by a
MAP_ALLOCATE_HANDOVER_NUMBER response with the appropriate error.
The handover number allocated will otherwise be returned to MSC-B in the
MAP_SEND_HANDOVER_REPORT request.
The handover number will be reserved until a MAP_SEND_HANDOVER_REPORT confirmation is
received from MSC-B.

16.3 Fault recovery procedures
After a fault of a location register, the fault recovery procedures ensure that the subscriber data in the
VLR become consistent with the subscriber data that are stored in the HLR for the MS concerned and
that the location information in HLR and VLR reflect accurately the current location of the MS.
The detailed specification of fault recovery procedures of location registers is given in GSM 03.07.
16.3.1 VLR fault recovery procedures
The following processes are involved with the restoration of one IMSI record in the VLR:
- In case of a location registration request from the MS:
Update_Location_Area_VLR subclause 16.1.1.3;
Update_Location_HLR subclause 16.1.1.4.

- In case of a mobile terminated call:
PRN_VLR subclause 18.2.4;
RESTORE_DATA_VLR subclause 18.2.4;
RESTORE_DATA_HLR subclause 16.3.3;
ICS_VLR subclause 18.3.3.

After a restart, the VLR shall erase all IMSI records affected by the failure and shall cause all affected
TMSIs and all affected LMSIs to become invalid. There will be no subscriber data or location information
stored for an affected mobile station until after the VLR has received either a
MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER indication or a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA indication for
that mobile station. Restoration of subscriber data in the VLR is triggered individually for each IMSI record
by receipt of either of these indications.
Reception of either a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA indication or a
MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER indication with an IMSI that is unknown in the VLR causes
creation of a skeleton IMSI record that is marked as:
- not confirmed by radio contact by the indicator "Confirmed by Radio Contact" (The function of this
indicator is described in GSM 03.07); and

- not confirmed by HLR by the indicator "Confirmed by HLR" (The function of this indicator is
described in GSM 03.07).

A third indicator "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" is allocated to each IMSI record in the VLR
(The function of this indicator is described in GSM 03.07).
The indicator "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" shall be checked whenever authenticated radio
contact with an MS has been established. The status "Not Confirmed" of this indicator shall force the VLR
to invoke the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION service but it shall never cause rejection of a mobile originated
request. The status is changed from "Not Confirmed" to "Confirmed" only after successful completion of a
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION procedure for the MS concerned.
If the VLR serves only one MSC, the indicator "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" is only relevant to
the HLR restoration procedure and an initial value must be assigned when an IMSI record is created in
the VLR:
- if the IMSI record was created due to a roaming number request, the initial value must be set to
"Confirmed";

- if reception of a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA indication causes creation of the IMSI record,
the initial value must be "Not Confirmed".

Page 394
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

If the VLR serves more than one MSC, the indicator "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" is used in
the VLR restoration procedure as well as in the HLR restoration procedure. When an IMSI record is
created in the VLR, the indicator must be set to "Not Confirmed".
VLR restoration triggered by a location registration request
Upon receipt of a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA indication, the VLR retrieves authentication data
from the HLR by using the MAP_SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO service if authentication is required
and if no authentication data are available in the VLR for the IMSI concerned (see figure 16.1.1/6).
Receipt of a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA indication for an MS whose IMSI is unknown in the VLR
or whose data stored in the VLR are marked as "Not Confirmed" by the indicator "Confirmed by HLR"
and/or by the indicator "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" forces the VLR to invoke the
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION service after successful authentication, if required. The location updating
procedure is performed as described in subclause 16.1.
Any other mobile originated request from an MS whose IMSI is unknown in the VLR or whose subscriber
data stored in the VLR are marked as "Not Confirmed" by the indicator "Confirmed by HLR" shall be
rejected with error cause "Unidentified Subscriber". This causes the MS to trigger the location registration
procedure.
After successful completion of the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION procedure, the indicators "Confirmed by
HLR" and "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" are set to "Confirmed".
The indicator "Confirmed by Radio Contact" is set to "Confirmed" when the radio contact with the MS is
authenticated.
VLR restoration triggered by a roaming number request
Figure 16.3/1 illustrates the signalling sequence for restoration of an IMSI record in the VLR triggered by
a mobile terminating call set-up.
Upon receipt of a MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER indication for an IMSI that is unknown in the
VLR and for which authentication is required, the VLR retrieves authentication data from the HLR by
using the MAP_SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO service after an MSRN has been sent to the HLR in
the MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER response.
Receipt of a MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER indication for an MS whose IMSI is unknown in the
VLR or whose data record in the VLR is marked as "Not Confirmed" by the indicator "Confirmed by HLR"
forces the VLR to request subscriber data from the HLR by sending a MAP_RESTORE_DATA request
which triggers one or more INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA operations from the HLR. The
MAP_RESTORE_DATA request may also be used to send the LMSI to the HLR.
The MAP_RESTORE_DATA process in the VLR is described in subclause 18.2.4.
The MAP_RESTORE_DATA process in the HLR is described in subclause 16.3.3.
After successful completion of the MAP_RESTORE_DATA procedure, the indicator "Confirmed by HLR"
is set to "Confirmed".
If restoration of an IMSI record was triggered by a MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER indication (i.e.
by a mobile terminating call), the VLR has no valid Location Area Identity information for the MS
concerned before successful establishment of the first authenticated radio contact. Upon receipt of a
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL indication from the MSC (see 5 in figure 16.3/1) for an MS
whose subscriber data are marked as "Confirmed" by the indicator "Confirmed by HLR" but not confirmed
by radio contact, the VLR shall invoke a "MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS" instead of a "MAP_PAGE".
Page 395
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

A MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS shall also be performed if the VLR receives a
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MT_SMS indication from the MSC for an MS whose IMSI record is marked as
"Confirmed" by the indicator "Confirmed by HLR" but not confirmed by radio contact.
The indicator "Confirmed by Radio Contact" is set to "Confirmed" when authenticated radio contact
caused by a mobile originated or a mobile terminated activity is established.

16.3.2 HLR fault recovery procedures
The following processes are involved with the restart of the HLR:
- HLR_RESTART subclause 16.3.2;
- REC_RESET_IN_VLR subclause 16.3.2.

In the case of a location registration request from the MS, the following processes are involved with the
HLR restoration procedure:
- Update_Location_Area_VLR subclause 16.1.1.3;
- Update_Location_HLR subclause 16.1.1.4.

In the case of a mobile originated service request, the
- Macro Process_Access_Request_VLR subclause 21.4.2; and the
- Process Update_Location_HLR subclause 16.1.1.4,

are involved with the HLR restoration procedure.
For the HLR, periodic back-up of data to non-volatile memory is mandatory.
Data that have been changed in the period of time after the last back-up storage and before the restart of
the HLR cannot be recovered by reload from the non-volatile memory. Therefore, a restoration procedure
is triggered individually for each IMSI record that has been affected by the HLR fault at the first
authenticated radio contact that is established with the MS concerned.
The HLR restoration procedure forces updating of MSC number, VLR number and, if provided by the
VLR, LMSI in the HLR. Consistency of subscriber data that are stored in the VLR for an MS that has been
affected by a HLR fault with the subscriber data stored in the HLR for this MS will be achieved.
As an implementation option, a notification can be forwarded to the MS to alert the subscriber to check
the parameters for supplementary services that allow subscriber controlled input
(MAP_FORWARD_CHECK_SS_INDICATION service). If the VLR receives this notification from the HLR
it shall forward the notification to the MS.
Figure 16.3/2 illustrates the signalling sequence for HLR restoration.
After a restart, the home location register performs the following actions for the subscriber data records
that have been affected by the HLR fault (see figure 16.3/3):
- reload all data from the non-volatile back-up;

- if the MAP_FORWARD_CHECK_SS_INDICATION service is implemented, mark each subscriber
record "SS Check Required" by setting the "Check SS" indicator;

- set subscriber tracing deactive in the VLR for each of its Mss;

- reset the "MS Purged" flag for each of its MSs;

- send a MAP_RESET request to the VLRs where its MSs are located (see figure 16.3/4).

The MAP_RESET request contains the HLR number and optionally the HLR Identity List.
When receiving a MAP_RESET indication, the VLR will derive all involved MSs of that HLR either from
the HLR Identity List (if present), or from the HLR number. The VLR will then mark these MSs with the
indicator "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" set to "Not Confirmed" and will deactivate all
subscriber tracings for these Mss (see figure 16.3/5).
Page 397
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

The status "Not Confirmed" of the indicator "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" forces the VLR to
invoke the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION service after establishment of authenticated radio contact with the
MS concerned.
The MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION procedure is performed as described in subclause 16.1.
After receipt of the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION acknowledge containing the HLR number, the status of
the indicator "Location Information Confirmed in HLR" is changed to "Confirmed".
If the MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION procedure is unsuccessful for any reason, the status of the indicator
"Location Information Confirmed in HLR" remains unchanged except for the case that the IMSI record in
the VLR is deleted because either of the errors "Unknown Subscriber" or "Roaming Not Allowed" has
been received from the HLR in response to a MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION request.

16.3.3 VLR restoration: the restore data procedure in the HLR
The MAP_RESTORE_DATA procedure in the HLR (Process RESTORE_DATA_HLR) is described in this
subclause; the corresponding procedure in the VLR (RESTORE_DATA_VLR) is described in
subclause 18.2.4.
The process RESTORE_DATA_HLR makes use of the following macros:
- Receive_Open_Ind subclause 21.1.1;
- Check_Indication subclause 21.2.1;
- Insert_Subs_Data_Framed_HLR subclause 16.4.1.

The MAP_RESTORE_DATA service is invoked by the VLR after provision of a roaming number in
response to a MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER indication for an unidentified MS (i.e. IMSI
unknown in VLR), or for a known MS whose IMSI record is marked as "Not Confirmed" by the indicator
"Confirmed by HLR" (see 4 in figure 16.3/1). The process RESTORE_DATA_VLR is shown in
figure 18.2/6.
The restore data process in the HLR is activated by receipt of a MAP_RESTORE_DATA indication from
the VLR (see figure 16.3/6). If there is a parameter problem in the indication, either of the errors
"Unexpected Data Value" or "Data Missing" is returned in the MAP_RESTORE_DATA response; if the
subscriber is not known in the HLR, the error "Unknown Subscriber" is returned in the
MAP_RESTORE_DATA response. In all of these cases the process in the HLR terminates.
If the MAP_RESTORE_DATA indication is accepted and if the LMSI is received, the HLR updates the
LMSI for the IMSI received in the MAP_RESTORE_DATA indication. For this IMSI the HLR sets
"subscriber-tracing-not-active-in-VLR" and checks whether tracing is required. This check is handled by
the macro "Control_Tracing_HLR" that is described in subclause 21.9. Thereafter, the macro
"Insert_Subs_Data_Framed_HLR" that is described in subclause 16.4.1 is invoked. The outcome of the
macro Insert_Subs_Data_Framed_HLR is one of:
- abort, in which case the process terminates;

- error, in which case the HLR returns the error "System Failure" in the MAP_RESTORE_DATA
response, and the process terminates;

- OK, indicating successful outcome of downloading the subscriber data to the VLR.

After successful completion of the framed MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA procedure, the HLR
Number and, if applicable, the "MS Not Reachable Flag" which is used for SMS, are provided in the
MAP_RESTORE_DATA response.
Upon receipt of the MAP_RESTORE_DATA confirmation, the VLR behaves as described in
subclause 18.2.4, figure 18.2/6.

16.4 Macro Insert_Subs_Data_Framed_HLR
This macro is used by any procedure invoked in HLR which requires the transfer of subscriber data by
means of the InsertSubscriberData operation (e.g. Update Location or Restore Data).
The invocation of the operation is done in a dialogue already opened by the framing procedure. Therefore
the latter is the one that handles the reception of the open indication and sends the dialogue close
request.
The macro calls the process "Send_Insert_Subs_Data" (see subclause 21.7.4) as many times as it is
needed for transferring all subscriber data. This process call is meant to describe two possible behaviours
of HLR to handle service requests and confirmations:
- either the HLR handles requests and confirmations in parallel; or

- the HLR sends the next request only after receiving the confirmation to the previous one.

Another call is done to the macro "Wait_for_Insert_Subscriber_Data" (see subclause 21.7.3). There the
reception and handling of the service confirmations is described.
If certain services required for a subscriber are not supported by the VLR (e.g. Advice of Charge
Charging Level), this may result in one of the following outcomes:
- The HLR stores and sends "Roaming Restriction Due To Unsupported Feature" in a subsequent
MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA service. If "Roaming Restriction Due To Unsupported
Feature" is stored in the HLR, the "MSC Area Restricted Flag" shall be set to "restricted". This will
prevent MT calls, MT SM and MT USSD from being forwarded to the MSC/VLR;

- The HLR stores and sends other induced subscriber data (e.g. a specific barring program) in a
subsequent MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA service. This will cause rejection of mobile
originated service requests, except emergency calls.

When the VLR receives regional subscription data (Zone Code List) it may respond with "MSC Area
Restricted" in the MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA response. In this case the "MSC Area Restricted
Flag" shall be set to "restricted" in the HLR. This will prevent MT calls, MT SM and MT USSD from being
forwarded to the MSC/VLR.
If the HLR neither stores "Roaming Restriction Due To Unsupported Feature" nor receives "MSC Area
Restricted" in the MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA response, the "MSC Area Restricted Flag" in the
HLR shall be set to "not restricted".
The SDL diagram is shown in figure 16.4/1.

17 Operation and maintenance procedures
17.1 General
The Operation and Maintenance procedures are needed for operating and maintaining the GSM PLMN
network.
The following procedures exist for operation and maintenance purposes:
i) Tracing procedures;
ii) Subscriber Data Management procedures;
iii) Subscriber Identity procedures.

The following application contexts refer to complex MAP Users consisting of several processes:
- subscriberDataManagementContext;
- tracingContext.

These two application contexts need a co-ordinating process in the VLR as described in the following
subclauses.
17.1.1 Tracing Co-ordinator for the VLR
The MAP_OPEN indication opens the dialogue for the stand-alone tracing procedure when the
application context tracingContext is received. If that service is successful, the Co-ordinator can receive
the firs service primitive from the MAP_PM. Depending on the received primitive, the user process is
created as follows:
- if the MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE indication is received, the process ATM_VLR_Standalone
is created;

- if the MAP_DEACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE indication is received, the process
DTM_VLR_Standalone is created.

After creation of the user process the Co-ordinator relays the messages between the MAP_PM and the
invoked process until a request or an indication for dialogue termination is received.
The Tracing Co-ordinator is shown in the figure 17.1/1.

The MAP_OPEN indication opens the dialogue for the stand-alone subscriber data management
procedure when the application context subscriberDataManagementContex is received. If that service is
successful, the Co-ordinator can receive the firs service primitive from the MAP_PM. Depending on the
received primitive, the user process is created as follows:
- if the MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA indication is received, the process
INS_SUBS_DATA_VLR is created;

- if the MAP_DELETE_SUBSCRIBER_DATA indication is received, the process

17.2 Tracing procedures
Three type of tracing procedures exist:
i) Subscriber tracing management procedures;
ii) Subscriber tracing procedures;
iii) Event tracing procedures.

The subscriber tracing management procedures are used for management of the status and the type of
the tracing. The subscriber tracing activation procedure is used at location updating or data restoration
when the trace mode of a subscriber is set active in the HLR or, as a stand alone procedure, when the
subscriber is already registered and the trace mode becomes active in the HLR. The procedures for
providing a trace request to the VLR are shown in figures 17.2/1 and 17.2/2.

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

The HLR sends the trace request (IMSI, trace reference, trace type and identity of the OMC) to the VLR
in a MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE request. The receipt of this primitive is acknowledged. The
acknowledge primitive will indicate that the trace request is accepted by the VLR. If the request is not
accepted, the reason will be reported to the HLR.
The subscriber tracing deactivation procedure is used when the trace request of a subscriber is to be
cancelled in the VLR. The procedure is shown in figure 17.2/3.

Figure 17.2/3: Subscriber tracing deactivation procedure

The HLR sends a MAP_DEACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE request to the VLR. The VLR will acknowledge
the deactivation. The acknowledge primitive will indicate that the trace request has been deleted by the
VLR. If the deactivation is not accepted, the reason will be reported to the HLR.
The subscriber tracing procedures are used when the VLR detects any subscriber related activity for
which the trace mode is activated, e.g. receives the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST indication.
The procedure is shown in figure 17.2/4.

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

17.2.1 Procedures in the HLR
17.2.1.1 Subscriber tracing activation procedure
When receiving the subscriber tracing mode activation command for a subscriber from the OMC, the HLR
will activate tracing, if the subscriber is known and registered in the HLR and the subscriber is roaming in
the home PLMN area. The MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE request is sent to the VLR where the
subscriber is registered.
If the MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE confirmation is received indicating an error situation, the errors
are mapped to the OMC interface. The activation request may also be repeated; the number of repeat
attempts and the time in between are HLR operator options, depending on the error returned by the VLR.
If the subscriber is known in the HLR, but is deregistered or roaming outside the home PLMN area, the
subscriber tracing status is activated in the HLR, but the VLR is not updated.
When receiving a request for location updating or data restoration while the subscriber trace mode is
active, the macro Control_Tracing_HLR (see figure 21.9/4) shall be initiated by the location updating
process in the HLR.
The subscriber tracing activation process in the HLR is shown in figure 17.2/7.

17.2.1.2 Subscriber tracing deactivation procedure
When receiving the subscriber trace mode deactivation command for a subscriber from the OMC, the
HLR will send the MAP_DEACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE request to the VLR where the subscriber is
registered, if the trace mode activation has been carried out. The subscriber tracing in HLR is set to a
deactive state.
If the operation is successful, the HLR will set the subscriber tracing in VLR to a deactive state.
If the MAP_DEACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE confirmation is received indicating an error situation, the
errors are mapped to the OMC interface. The deactivation request may be also repeated; the number of
repeat attempts and the time in between are HLR operator options, depending on the error returned by
the VLR.
The subscriber tracing deactivation procedure is shown in figure 17.2/8.

17.2.2 Procedures in the VLR
The VLR is involved in the following tracing procedures:
i) Subscriber tracing activation procedure;
ii) Subscriber tracing deactivation procedure;
iii) Subscriber tracing procedure.

17.2.2.1 Subscriber tracing activation procedure
When receiving a MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE indication, the VLR will check the parameters and
data in the primitive. Data errors are reported as an unexpected data value error or as a data missing
error depending on the nature of the error.
If the subscriber is known, the tracing facility is supported and the tracing capacity is not exceeded, the
successful report is sent in the MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE response primitive.
The MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE indication primitive may be received during a location updating or
data restoration procedure, so the location updating or restore data process shall use the macro
Activate_Tracing_VLR (see figure 21.9/3).
The subscriber tracing activation process in the VLR is shown in figure 17.2/9.

17.2.2.3 Subscriber tracing procedure
When the VLR receives a MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST or MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA
indication related to any subscriber activity from the MSC, the subscriber tracing procedure may be
carried out. The macro Trace_Subscriber_Activity_VLR is shown in figure 21.9/2.
17.2.3 Procedures in the MSC
The MSC is involved in the following tracing procedure:
i) Subscriber tracing procedure.

17.2.3.1 Subscriber tracing procedure
When receiving the MAP_TRACE_SUBSCRIBER_ACTIVITY indication from the VLR, the MSC stores
trace reference, trace type and the identity of the OMC in charge of the trace, and the MSC starts to
collect the trace information. The MSC will send the trace record to the OMC.
The macro Trace_Subscriber_Activity_MSC is shown in figure 21.9/1.
17.3 Subscriber data management procedures
Two types of subscriber data management procedures exist in the Mobile Application Part:
i) Subscriber Deletion;
ii) Subscriber Data Modification.

No requirements have been identified for the Subscriber creation and subscriber data interrogation
procedures.
The subscriber deletion and subscriber data modification procedures are initiated by the OMC (see
figures 17.3/1 and 17.3/2).

4) Subscriber Data Modified

Figure 17.3/2: Subscriber data modification procedure
In the subscriber data modification procedure the subscriber data is modified in the HLR and when
necessary also in the VLR. The HLR initiates either the MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA,
MAP_DELETE_SUBSCRIBER_DATA or MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION service depending on the modified
data.
17.3.1 Procedures in the HLR
17.3.1.1 Subscriber deletion procedure
When the subscriber deletion request is received from the OMC, the HLR shall delete the subscriber data
from the HLR and initiate the MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION request to the VLR where the subscriber is
registered.
The subscriber deletion procedure in the HLR is shown in the figure 17.3/3.

17.3.1.2 Subscriber data modification procedure
The OMC can modify the subscriber data in several different ways. The modifications can be categorized
in five groups:
a) HLR internal modification, no effect in the VLR;

b) data shall be modified both in the HLR and VLR;

c) withdrawal of a basic service or a supplementary service;

d) modification affects on the roaming of the subscriber and the subscriber shall be removed from the
VLR data base;

e) authentication algorithm or authentication key of the subscriber is modified.

In case "b" the MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA service is initiated in the HLR.
In case "c" the MAP_DELETE_SUBSCRIBER_DATA service is initiated in the HLR.
In cases "d" and "e" the MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION service is initiated in the HLR.
If the result of a primitive received from the VLR is unsuccessful, the HLR may initiate re-attempts; the
number of repeat attempts and the time in between are HLR operator options, depending on the error
returned by the VLR.
The subscriber data modification procedure in the HLR is shown in the figures 17.3/4, 17.3/5 and 21.7/2.

17.3.2 Procedures in the VLR
17.3.2.1 Subscriber deletion procedure
The subscriber deletion procedure in the VLR is described in the subclause 16.1.
17.3.2.2 Subscriber data modification procedure
When receiving either the MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA indication or the
MAP_DELETE_SUBSCRIBER_DATA indication, the VLR check the parameters and data in the primitive.
Data errors are reported as an unexpected data value error or a data missing error depending on the
nature of the error.
After receiving the first MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA indication, the VLR will check the IMSI that
is included in the primitive. If the IMSI is unknown, the error "Unidentified subscriber" is returned.
If the VLR does not support received basic or supplementary services or the network feature Operator
Determined Barring, or there is a problem with Regional Subscription Data then it reports it to the HLR.
If the entire MSC area is restricted due to regional subscription, this is reported to the HLR.
If the updating of the subscriber data is not possible, the VLR will initiate the MAP_U_ABORT request
primitive. If the updating is successful, the MAP_CLOSE indication is received from the HLR.
The subscriber data modification procedure in the VLR is shown in the figures 17.3/6, 17.3/7 and 21.7/1.

17.4.1 Subscriber identity procedure in the HLR
Opening of the dialogue is described in the macro Receive_Open_Ind in subclause 21.1, with outcomes:
- reversion to version one procedure;

- procedure termination; or

- dialogue acceptance, with proceeding as below.

When receiving the MAP_SEND_IMSI indication, the HLR will check the parameters and data in the
primitive. Data errors are reported as an unexpected data value error or a data missing error depending
on the nature of the error.
If the subscriber is known in the HLR, the IMSI is fetched from the database and sent to the VLR. If the
MSISDN cannot be identified, unknown subscriber indication is passed to the VLR.
The subscriber identity procedure in the HLR is shown in figure 17.4/2.

18 Call handling procedures
18.1 General
The Call Handling Procedures are used for the following:
i) for MS terminating or MS originating calls where the MSC (acting as a VMSC) can obtain the
required information directly from the visitor location register;

ii) for MS terminating calls where the MSC (acting as gateway MSC) has to interrogate the home
location register in order to obtain routing information. The HLR must retrieve the routing
information from the VLR.

To provide a complete description of the Call Handling procedures, reference is made to the associated
Call Handling Procedures in the BSS, MS and Fixed Network. These are only shown to indicate the
interworking possibilities. Where inconsistency exists then the relevant procedures described in the
following recommendations take precedence:
BSS to MSC procedures GSM 08.08;
MSC to MS procedures GSM 04.08;
ISUP procedures CCITT Q.761-764 (1988);
TUP procedures CCITT Q.721-725 (1988).

It should be noted that although the call handling procedures for TUP and ISUP are referenced, other
national/proprietary user parts may be used in the fixed network.
The Call Handling co-ordination procedures are described in figures 18.1/1, 18.1/2 and 18.1/3. These
procedures perform a co-ordination and distribution function within the MAP User for Call Handling.
The MSC (see figure 18.1/1) process activates the appropriate process depending on the message
received and the function performed by the MSC (either MSC or Gateway MSC). The MSC can receive
only one message from the MS, a CM Service Request (A_CM_SERV_REQ) for an outgoing call.
Receipt of this message will result in the Outgoing Call procedures being activated, this procedure is
described in subclause 18.4. If the MSC is acting as a Gateway MSC then an Initial Address Message
(I_IAM) received from the network will activate the Send Routing Information (SRI_MSC) procedure as
described in subclause 18.2. If the MSC is not acting as a Gateway then the incoming Initial Address
Message (I_IAM) will activate the incoming call set-up procedure (ICS_MSC) as described in
subclause 18.3.
The Call Handling co-ordination procedures in the VLR (figure 18.1/2) and HLR (figure 18.1/3) will be
activated when a MAP_OPEN_ind is received which requests one of the Call Handling Application
Contexts, the Application Contexts assigned to Call Handling are described in subclause 14.2. If the
Application Context requested is not a MAP Version 1 context and there is no error detected in the Open
indication, the appropriate process will be activated. For further details of the process activated refer to
the following subclauses:
Incoming Call Set Up subclause 18.3;
Outgoing Call Set Up subclause 18.4;
Provide Roaming Number subclause 18.2;
Send Routing Information subclause 18.2.

NOTE: Where reference is made in this subclause to a supplementary service being active,
the service must be active for the required basic service. If no basic service is present
in a construct then all basic services are covered by the construct.

Notes:
xxx = Optional Procedure
NOTE 1: This service may also be used by an ISDN exchange for obtaining routing information from the
HLR.
NOTE 2: TUP or ISUP may be used in signalling between MSCs, depending on the network type
between the MSCs. For further details on the TUP and ISUP procedures refer to the following
CCITT Recommendations:
Q.721-725 - Telephone User Part (TUP);
Q.761-764 - ISDN User Part (ISUP).
Figure 18.2/1: Procedure for retrieval of routing information
It is assumed that signalling towards the fixed network uses the messages IAM (Initial Address Message)
and REL (Release). Examples of other interworking cases are not shown in this standard (for further
information see CCITT Recommendation Q.699).
The following MAP services are used to retrieve routing information:
MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION see subclause 8;
MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER see subclause 8;
MAP_RESTORE_DATA see subclause 6.

Page 442
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

18.2.2 Procedures in the MSC
The procedure is described in figure 18.2/2. These procedures make use of a number of processes and
macros not described in this subclause. The description of these can be found in the following
subclauses:
Receive_Open_Cnf see subclause 21.1;
Check_Confirmation see subclause 21.2.

NOTE: If CUG Information is provided in the Initial Address Message (I_IAM) and the PLMN
does not provide a CUG capability, the call will be released if the CUG does not have
Outgoing Access. In this case the ISUP Cause indicator will be set to #87 (user not
member of CUG) and a Release message (I_REL) returned to the originating network.
If the CUG has Outgoing Access the call will be treated as an ordinary call, in this
case the CUG Information in the Initial Address Message may need to be modified.
See Annex E of CCITT Recommendation Q.767 (Approved 1990) for a description of
the procedures for a CUG call interworking with a network which does not support the
CUG facility. It has been assumed that these checks will be performed by the
Gateway MSC prior to invoking MAP procedures.
Successful Outcome
The Gateway MSC will receive an Initial Address Message (I-IAM) indicating an incoming call. To be able
to route the call toward the mobile subscriber, via the appropriate MSC, the Gateway MSC will initiate a
MAP-SEND-ROUTING-INFORMATION service request to the HLR of the MS to receive the call.
If a routing address can be provided by the HLR, it is returned to the MSC in the MAP-SEND-ROUTING-
INFORMATION service response. The routing address can take two forms: MSRN or forwarded-to-
number. If a forwarded-to-number is provided, the Gateway MSC will increment the forwarding counter.
The Gateway MSC will then construct an Initial Address Message (I-IAM) and send this to the MSC of the
area where the MS is currently located. The procedure in the Gateway MSC is then terminated.
Data or Parameter errors
If any parameter or data errors are detected by the MSC, the procedure for this call will be terminated and
a release message (I_REL) returned to the network to release the call.
Service Provider Failure
Once the dialogue between the Gateway MSC and the HLR is established a MAP_P_ABORT service
indication may be received at any stage from the MAP Service Provider. This aborts the dialogue, see
clause 5 for a definition of the abort reasons.
The call will be released by the MSC sending a Release message (I_REL) to the Network. The procedure
in the Gateway MSC is then terminated.
Call Released by Calling Subscriber
This may occur at any stage during the call set up procedure. Call release is indicated to the MSC by a
Release Message (I_REL). The procedure in the Gateway MSC is then terminated. Any response
subsequently received from the HLR will be discarded.
Page 443
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Routing Failure
Failure to provide routing information is reported by the HLR to the Gateway MSC in the
MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service confirm. The MAP User Error parameter will indicate
one of the following conditions:
MAP User Error
Unknown Subscriber ISUP Error = 1
Absent Subscriber " " = 18
Call Barred " " = 21
Forwarding Violation " " = 21
Number Changed = 22
CUG Reject " " = 55
Teleservice/Bearer Service not provisioned = 57
Facility Not Supported " " = 69
Data Missing " " =111
Unexpected Data Value " " =111
System Failure " " =111

NOTE: A suggested mapping is shown above between the MAP User Error value and the
ISUP Error Cause, this is only provided to aid understanding. CCITT Q.6xx-series of
recommendations provide further guidance for the mapping of Error Cause values
(specifically ISUP and TUP errors).
Table 18.2/1: Suggested mapping between ISUP and MAP Errors
Regardless of the reason for routing failure the Gateway MSC will construct a Release message (I_REL),
selecting the appropriate Error Cause value, and return this to the network. The procedure in the
Gateway MSC will then be terminated.

18.2.3 Procedures in the HLR
The procedure is shown in figure 18.2/3 and 18.2/4. These procedures make use of a number of
processes and macros not described in this subclause. The description of these can be found in the
following subclauses:
Receive_Open_Cnf subclause 21.1;
Check_Confirmation subclause 21.2;
Receive_Open_Ind subclause 21.1;
Check_Indication subclause 21.2.

Successful Outcome
When a MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service indication is received from the Gateway MSC,
the HLR will first check for parameter or data errors. If the MS is known to the HLR, the HLR will then
check if incoming calls are barred for this MS.
The HLR will then proceed with a subscription check if the Network Signal Information is provided.
If CUG Interlock and optionally, CUG Outgoing Access, information is provided by the Gateway MSC
and/or the called subscriber is a CUG subscriber the HLR will then perform the mobile terminated CUG
call authorization check. The purpose of this check is to identify a match between calling and called party
CUG attributes, whilst enforcing intra_CUG communication restrictions. The procedures for authorizing a
CUG call is described in more detail in GSM 03.85.
If Call Forwarding Unconditional service is active and the call has not been forwarded more times than
allowed, and a CUG call authorization check is not required the HLR will increment the forwarding counter
and provide the routing information for forwarding this call. This information is returned to the Gateway
MSC in the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service response. The procedure in the HLR is then
terminated.
If Call Forwarding Unconditional service is active and CUG information is provided and/or the forwarding
subscriber is a CUG subscriber then the HLR will perform a CUG call authorization check on the
forwarding partys outgoing access. The procedures for authorizing a CUG check with Call Forwarding
interaction are described in more detail in GSM 03.85. On successful completion of the authorization
check, the HLR will increment the forwarding counter and provide the routing information for forwarding
this call. The new CUG Information (i.e. output of the CUG call authorization check) to be used on the
forwarding leg of the call will also be provided. This information is returned to the Gateway MSC in the
MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service response. The procedure in the HLR is then terminated.
If the MS is reachable, i.e. if the MS is not purged, the VLR is not restricted and the HLR has a VLR
number for the MS, the HLR requests the current VLR to provide a roaming number to be used for further
call routing. The HLR will request this information from the VLR by initiating the
MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER service. If this operation was successful, the MSRN is returned to
the Gateway MSC in the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service response. The procedure is
then terminated in the HLR.
In the SDL diagram in figure 18.2/3, the task "Perform MAP V1 Dialogue" includes:
- the relay of the roaming number returned from the VLR to the GMSC in the
MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION response if the outcome of the dialogue with the VLR
was successful;

- the possible invocation of call forwarding on not reachable if the VLR returned the "absent
subscriber" error;

- the appropriate mapping of an error received from the VLR into a user error in the
MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFO response;

as described in the MAP version 1 specification.
Page 447
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Parameter or data error
If the HLR detects any parameter or data errors in the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service
indication, the user error "Data Missing" or "Unexpected Data Value" is returned to the Gateway MSC. If
the error is detected in the response to the HLR request for a roaming number
(MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER), the user error "System Failure" is returned to the Gateway
MSC in the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service response.
Service Provider Failure
A MAP_P_Abort service indication may be received from the MAP Service Provider. This will abort the
dialogue, see clause 5 for a definition of the abort reasons. Depending on the reason for the abort and
where the abort originated, the associated dialogue with the MSC may be terminated. Otherwise the
procedure in the HLR is terminated.
MS Not Known
If the MS is not known to the HLR, the user error "Unknown Subscriber" is returned to the Gateway MSC.
This is contained in the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service response. The procedure in the
HLR is then terminated.
Number Changed
If the number of the subscriber is changed inside the PLMN, the user error "Number Changed" is returned
to the Gateway MSC. This is contained in the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service response.
The procedure in the HLR is then terminated.
Calls Barred
If the MS is barred from receiving incoming calls, the user error "Call Barred" is returned to the Gateway
MSC. The MS may be barred from receiving a call due to Operator Determined Barring (as defined in
GSM 02.41) in which case, the Call Barring cause "Operator Barring" is returned to the Gateway MSC.
The user error is contained in the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service response. The
procedure in the HLR is then terminated.
Subscription Check Failure
If Network Signal Information is provided, the HLR will perform a service subscription check on this
information. If this check fails, depending on the reason for failure, the user error "Bearer Service Not
Provisioned" or "Teleservice Not Provisioned" is returned to the Gateway MSC. This is contained in the
MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service response. The procedure in the HLR is then terminated.
CUG Reject
If the call fails the CUG call authorization check (this applies to incoming access check and outgoing
access if the call has been forwarded - see GSM 03.85 for conditions), the user error "CUG Reject" is
returned to the Gateway MSC. This is contained in the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service
response. The procedure in the HLR is then terminated.
Page 448
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

MS Not Reachable
The MS may not be reachable for the following reasons:
- there is no location information available for the MS;

- the MSC Area Restricted Flag is set, indicating that roaming in the MSC area is not allowed;

- the "MS purged" flag is set, indicating that the MS data have been purged from the VLR;

- the Provide Roaming Number procedure fails and returns the error Absent Subscriber;

- the Provide Roaming Number procedure fails and returns the error "No Roaming Number
Available".

The HLR will then check if the service Call Forwarding on MS Not Reachable is active. If the service is
not active the appropriate user error ("System Failure" if the VLR returned "No Roaming Number
Available", otherwise "Absent Subscriber") is returned to the Gateway MSC. This is contained in the
MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service response. The procedure in the HLR is then terminated.
If the Call Forwarding on MS Not Reachable service is active, the call has not been forwarded more times
than allowed and a CUG call authorization check is not required, the HLR will increment the forwarding
counter and provide the routing information for forwarding this call.
If the Call Forwarding on MS Not Reachable service is active and CUG information is provided and/or the
forwarding subscriber is a CUG subscriber then the HLR will perform a CUG call authorization check on
the forwarding partys outgoing access. The procedures for authorizing a CUG check with Call Forwarding
interaction are described in more detail in GSM 03.85. On successful completion of the authorization
check, the HLR will increment the forwarding counter and provide the routing information for forwarding
this call. The new CUG Information (i.e. output of the CUG call authorization check) to be used on the
forwarding leg of the call will also be provided.
This forwarding information is returned to the Gateway MSC in the
MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service response. The procedure in the HLR is then terminated.
Forwarding Violation
If a Call Forwarding service is active, but the call has already been forwarded as many times as allowed,
the user error "Forwarding Violation" is returned to the Gateway MSC. This is contained in the
MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service response. The procedure in the HLR is then terminated.
No Roaming Number Allocated
The HLR request to the VLR to provide a roaming number may fail for a number of reasons (see
subclause 8.4). If the reason is "Facility Not Supported", the user error is set to "Facility Not Supported";
otherwise, if the reason for failure is anything other than "Absent Subscriber" or "No Roaming Number
Available", the user error is set to "System Failure". The error is returned to the Gateway MSC in the
MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION service response. The procedure in the HLR is then terminated.
If the reason for failure is "Absent Subscriber" or "No Roaming Number Available", then the procedure
continues as described in the MS Not Reachable subclause above.

18.2.4 Procedures in the VLR
The procedures are described in figures 18.2/5, 18.2/6 and 18.2/7. These procedures make use of a
number of processes and macros not described in this subclause. The description of these can be found
in the following subclauses:
Receive_Open_Cnf subclause 21.1;
Check_Confirmation subclause 21.2;
Receive_Open_Ind subclause 21.1;
Check_Indication subclause 21.2;
Obtain_Authent_Sets_VLR subclause 21.5;
Insert_Subs_Data_VLR subclause 21.7.

Successful Outcome
On reception of the MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER service indication from the HLR, the VLR will
first perform a service provision check to confirm that the service requested is supported by the PLMN.
If the service is provided and the MS is also known, the VLR will check the IMSI detached flag for the MS.
If the IMSI detached flag was not set then an MSRN will be allocated. An MSC number will already be
stored in the VLR as well as the HLR.
The MSC number provided in the MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER service indication will be used
with the RAD_CONF_IND for the creation of the MSRN. That is, if the MSC number provided by the HLR
does not match the MSC number stored against the IMSI concerned the indicator "Confirmed by Radio
Contact" (RAD_CONF_IND) should be checked to establish if the number has been confirmed by radio
contact.
If the RAD_CONF_IND is set to "NOT_CONF", this means that the MSC number is out of date as it has
not been confirmed by radio contact, therefore the MSC number provided by the HLR can be used for
creation of the MSRN.
If the RAD_CONF_IND is set to "CONF", this means that the MSC number has already been confirmed
by radio contact and therefore, is more likely to be correct than the MSC number held by the HLR. The
MSC number held by the VLR can be used for creation of the MSRN.
If no IMSI record exists for the IMSI received in the MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER service
indication or if no MSC number is available in the IMSI record concerned, the VLR will use the MSC
number provided by the HLR for creation of the MSRN.
NOTE: MAP version 1 described 2 options for allocating an MSRN by the VLR, either at
location updating or per terminating call set up. MAP Version 2 only supports one of
these options, that of allocating the MSRN per terminating call set-up. The option to
allocate MSRN at location updating has been deleted.
The roaming number is returned to the HLR in the MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER service
response. The VLR associates the MSRN with a service indication, if such an indication was contained in
the roaming number request from the HLR. This roaming number will be used to set up the call to the
serving MSC. The procedure is then terminated in the VLR.
If the indicator "Confirmed by HLR" (HLR_CONF_IND) is set to "Not Confirmed", the VLR will also need
to request authentication and subscriber data. This is described in the procedure for MS Not Known,
below.
Page 454
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Parameter or data errors
If the MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER service indication contains both the LMSI and the IMSI, the
VLR checks whether the stored IMSI matches the received IMSI. If it does not, the VLR attempts to
process the request using the IMSI received from the HLR to define the called subscriber.
If any parameter or data errors are detected in the MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER service
indication, the VLR will return "Unexpected Data Value" in the MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER
service response. The procedure is then terminated in the VLR.
Called Subscriber Not Reachable
If the called subscriber is not reachable, either because the IMSI Detached Flag is set or because the
called subscriber is not allowed to roam into the current location area, the error "Absent Subscriber" is
returned to the HLR. This procedure is then terminated in the VLR.
No Roaming Number Available
If the VLR cannot assign a Roaming Number, the user error "No Roaming Number Available" is returned
to the HLR in the MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER service response. The procedure is then
terminated in the VLR.
Service Not Supported
If the Service Provision check shows that the service is not provided, the error "Facility Not Supported" is
returned to the HLR in the MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER service response. The procedure is
then terminated in the VLR.
MS not Known
If the MS is not known by the VLR, this indicates that either a VLR restart has occurred after a VLR failure
or the HLR is in restoration phase and the VLR addressed by the HLR is not the one where the called MS
is currently located. The VLR will still proceed to allocate an MSRN (if available) and, as an operator
option, an LMSI. In addition, a skeleton IMSI record for this MS will be created and the indicators
"Confirmed by HLR" and "Confirmed by Radio Contact" set to "Not Confirmed". If the VLR serves two or
more MSCs, the VLR will also set the restoration indicator "Location Information Confirmed in HLR"
(LOC_CONF_IND) to "Not confirmed". These indicators will be set to "Confirmed" when a procedure with
the relevant entity has been successfully completed. The roaming number is then returned to the HLR in
the MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER service response.
To be able to process the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL indication later, the VLR will
request separately, for the IMSI concerned, the following:
- authentication data with a MAP_SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO (if authentication is to be
performed), this procedure is described in clause 21;

- subscriber data with a MAP_RESTORE_DATA request, this procedure is described in the
subclause below.

These additional procedures are run independently of the provide roaming number procedure, no result is
expected in this procedure.
Page 455
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

VLR Restoration
The restore data procedure is invoked by the VLR to update subscriber data in the HLR and VLR after
VLR restart, when the VLR receives a MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER indication from the HLR for
an unidentified MS, or for a known MS with the indicator "Confirmed by HLR" set to "Not Confirmed". The
procedure in the VLR is described in figure 18.2/6.
If the dialogue with the HLR is opened successfully, the process waits for a
MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE indication primitive or one or more
MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA indication primitives containing the subscriber data. When the
tracing activation has been completed if necessary and all the subscriber data have been received, the
dialogue with the HLR is terminated by a MAP_RESTORE_DATA confirmation. If the confirmation
contains no errors, the VLR stores the subscriber data in the IMSI record, updates the HLR number and
the MS Not Reachable Flag which is used for SMS (if appropriate), and sets the indicator "Confirmed by
HLR" to "Confirmed". The status of the indicators "Confirmed by radio contact" and "Location Information
Confirmed in HLR" remains unchanged.
The procedure in the VLR is then terminated. For a description of the procedures in the HLR refer to
subclause 16.3.

Notes to figure 18.3/1:
NOTE 1: TUP or ISUP may be used in signalling between MSCs, depending on the network
type between the MSCs. For further details on the TUP and ISUP procedures refer to
the following CCITT Recommendations:
Q.721-Q.725 - Telephone User Part (TUP);
Q.761-Q.764 - ISDN User Part (ISUP).

It is assumed that signalling towards the fixed network only uses 3 messages IAM
(Initial Address Message), ACM (Address Complete Message) and ANM (Answer
Message). Examples of other interworking cases are not shown in this standard (for
further information see e.g. CCITT Recommendation Q.699).

NOTE 2: The BSS and MSC message flow shown in this diagram is only an example of the
interworking possibilities. For further details of the procedures between the MSC and
BSS refer to GSM 08.08 (MSC to BSS Interface, Layer 3).

NOTE 3: The MS and MSC message flow shown in this diagram is only an example of the
interworking possibilities. For further details on the procedures between the MSC and
MS refer to GSM 04.08 (Mobile Radio Interface Layer 3 Specification).

The following MAP services are used during MS terminating call set up:
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL see clause 8;
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST see clause 6;
MAP_PAGE see clause 6;
MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS see clause 6;
MAP_COMPLETE_CALL see clause 8;
MAP_PROCESS_CALL_WAITING see clause 8;
MAP_PROVIDE_IMSI see clause 6;
MAP_AUTHENTICATION see clause 6;
MAP_SET_CIPHERING_MODE see clause 6;
MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI see clause 6;
MAP_CHECK_IMEI see clause 6.

18.3.2 Procedures in the MSC
The procedures are shown in figures 18.3/2, 18.3/3 and 18.3/4. These procedures make use of a number
of processes and macros not described in this subclause. The description of these can be found in the
following subclauses:
Receive_Open_Cnf subclause 21.1;
Check_Confirmation subclause 21.2;
Check_Indication subclause 21.2;
Process_Access_Request_MSC subclause 21.4;
Page_MSC subclause 21.3;
Search_For_MS_MSC subclause 21.3.

Page 462
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Successful Outcome
The Gateway MSC will pass the IAM (Initial Address Message) to the appropriate MSC. The Gateway
MSC knows the location of the called subscriber from the roaming number.
On receipt of an IAM the MSC will initiate the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service
request to request from the VLR, the relevant parameters for the called subscriber to enable the call to be
set up. The response to this from the VLR will be a request to the MSC to commence Paging. This
request will either be in the form of a MAP_PAGE service indication or a MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS
service indication. If the MSC does not detect that the called MS is in a busy state (see GSM 02.01 for a
definition of these states), the paging procedure will be activated.
Successful response to paging from the BSS will be complete layer 3 information as specified in
GSM 08.08, this indicates that the addressed MS has responded to the paging. The MSC will then initiate
a MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST service request to the VLR to initiate processing of a
subscriber access to the network.
On successful completion of the Process Access Request procedure the VLR will send the required
parameters for the call set up to proceed. This information will be contained in a MAP_COMPLETE_CALL
service indication.
To start call establishment the MSC will send an A_SETUP message to the MS. Following compatibility
checking the MS will respond with an A_CALL_CONF message. These messages and the procedures
associated with them are described in more detail in GSM 04.08. To complete call establishment the
following events occur:
- channel assignment (refer GSM 08.08);

- called user alerted (refer GSM 04.08), this will be followed by the MSC sending an Address
Complete Message (I_ACM) to the Gateway MSC;

- called user accepts the call, this will be followed by the MSC sending an Answer Message (I_ANM)
to the Gateway MSC;

- the VLR will close the dialogue with the MSC by returning a
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm with the result parameter indicating
success.

Parameter or data errors
If any parameter or data errors are detected by the MSC, the procedure for this call will be terminated and
a release message (I_REL) returned to the gateway MSC to release the call.
Service Provider Failure
Once the dialogue between the MSC and the VLR is established a MAP_P_ABORT service indication
may be received at any stage from the MAP Service Provider. This aborts the dialogue, see clause 5 for a
definition of the abort reasons.
The call will be released by the MSC sending a Release message (I_REL) to the Gateway MSC. If at the
time the procedure is terminated the call has already been confirmed by the MS, i.e. the MS has
responded to the set up message (A_SETUP) by returning a call confirmed message (A_CALL_CONF),
then the resources associated with the mobile terminating side of the call should also be released (i.e.
mobile station and base station resources). The procedure in the MSC is then terminated.
Page 463
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Call Released by Calling Subscriber
This may occur at any stage during the call set up procedure. Call release is indicated to the MSC by a
Release Message (I_REL). The MSC will then terminate the procedure towards the VLR using the
MAP_U_ABORT service. The User Reason will indicate Application Procedure Cancellation and the
Diagnostic Information will indicate Call Release. If at the time the procedure is terminated the call has
already been confirmed by the MS, i.e. the MS has responded to the set up message (A_SETUP) by
returning a call confirmed message (A_CALL_CONF), then the resources associated with the mobile
terminating side of the call should also be released (i.e. mobile station and base station resources). The
procedure in the MSC is then terminated.
No Paging or Search Response
If the timer for paging expires, paging may be repeated n times. The number of successive paging
attempts and the time intervals are a network dependent choice. If the paging fails the MSC informs the
VLR in the MAP service response (either MAP_PAGE or MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS) with the user error
set to "Absent Subscriber". If the Call Forwarding on MS Not Reachable service is not active, the VLR will
terminate the procedure by returning a MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm with
the user error set to "Impossible Call Completion". The MSC will then send a Release message (I_REL)
to the Gateway MSC to release the call.
If Call Forwarding on MS Not Reachable is active, then the call will be forwarded as described below in
the Call Forwarding subclause.
Called Subscriber Not Reachable
In response to the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service request the VLR may inform the
MSC that the subscriber cannot be reached. If Call Forwarding on MS Not Reachable service is not
active, this notification is contained in a MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm with
the user error set to "Absent Subscriber". To terminate the procedure, the MSC will send a Release
message (I_REL) to the Gateway MSC to release the call.
If Call Forwarding on MS Not Reachable service is active, then the call will be forwarded as described
below in the Call Forwarding subclause.
Access to Called Subscriber Not Possible
The VLR, in response to the request from the MSC to provide information for the called subscriber
(MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service request) may detect an error condition. This is
reported in the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm with the user error indicating
one of the following:
Unallocated Roaming Number;
Unknown Subscriber;
Unexpected Data Value;
Data Missing;
System Failure.

To terminate the procedure for this call the MSC will send a Release Message (I_REL) to the Gateway
MSC to release the call.
Page 464
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Called Subscriber is Busy
Two scenarios need to be considered here:
1) If, following the paging request from the VLR (either MAP_PAGE or MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS
service indication), the MSC has knowledge of the "busy" state of the subscriber (see GSM 02.01
for a definition of these states), the MSC will set the user error to "Busy Subscriber". Depending on
which state is detected the Busy Subscriber error will indicate either More Calls Allowed or Network
Determined User Busy (no more calls allowed). This error will be returned to the VLR in the page
response (either MAP_PAGE or MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS service response).

Depending on the Busy Subscriber state, the VLR may request Call Waiting or Call Forwarding on
Busy to be invoked if these services are active. The procedures are described in the subclauses
below.

If neither Call Forwarding on Busy nor Call Waiting service is active, the VLR will terminate the
procedure by returning a MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm with the
user error set to "Impossible Call Completion". The MSC will then send a Release message
(I_REL) to the Gateway MSC to release the call.

2) If the Called MS enters a busy state after the paging but before the Set up request is sent to the
MS (A_SETUP), the MS may respond to a second set up request with either Call Confirmed
message (A_CALL_CONF) User Busy (Error Cause 17) or a Release Complete message
(A_REL_COM) also indicating User Busy. In either case the MSC will generate a response to the
VLR, a MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service confirm, with the user error indicating "Busy Subscriber"
(User Determined User Busy).

If the Call Forwarding on Busy service is active, then the call will proceed as described in the Call
Forwarding subclause below.

If Call Forwarding on Busy is not active, the VLR will terminate the procedure by returning a
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm with the user error set to "Impossible
Call Completion". The MSC will then send a Release message (I_REL) message to the Gateway
MSC to release the call.

Call Rejected by Called Subscriber
Following the generation of a Set up message (A_SETUP) the called MS responds with a Release
Complete Message (A_REL_COM) with an Error Cause indicating the nature of the error. For Error
Cause #17 (User Busy) the handling of this cause is described in the Call Subscriber is Busy subclause
above. For all other Error Causes the MSC will terminate the dialogue in the direction of the VLR sending
a MAP_U_ABORT and then release the call sending a Release Message (I_REL) to the Gateway MSC.
The procedure in the MSC is then terminated.
Page 465
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Assignment Failure
The BSS may fail to seize a radio channel for one of the following reasons:
- use of the terrestrial channel selected by the MSC is impossible;

NOTE: It is possible another try for radio channel assignment can be attempted after
reselection of a new terrestrial channel.
- Radio Congestion.

The MSC will be informed of this failure by the Assignment Failure message (A_ASS_FAIL). No further
action can be taken at this stage, other than return the error Radio Congestion to the VLR in the
MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service response. If the VLR confirms that the Call Forwarding on MS Not
Reachable service is active, then the call will be forwarded as described below in the Call Forwarding
subclause. Otherwise the VLR will instruct the MSC to terminate the procedure and release the call. The
MSC releases the call by sending a Disconnect message (A_DISC) to the MS and a Release message
(I_REL) to the Gateway MSC.
No Answer from Called Subscriber
Following the generation of Address Complete Message (I_ACM) there is no response from the Called
MS, i.e. the Connect message (A_CONN) is not received within the given time period.
The MSC will generate a response to the VLR, a MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service confirm, with the user
error indicating "No Subscriber Reply". If the Call Forwarding on No Reply service is active then the call
will proceed as described in the Call Forwarding subclause below. If the service is not active, the VLR will
terminate the procedure by returning a MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm with
the user error set to "Impossible Call completion". The MSC will then send a Release message (I_REL) to
the Gateway MSC to release the call.
Call Forwarding
If the VLR is informed that it is not possible to complete the call set up (e.g. absent subscriber, busy
subscriber, No Subscriber Reply, Radio Congestion), the VLR will check if any of the appropriate Call
Forwarding services are active. If the appropriate Call Forwarding service is active, and the call has not
been forwarded more times than allowed, the VLR will provide the relevant forwarding data in the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm. To terminate the procedure, the MSC will
set the Redirection Information in the Initial Address message (I_IAM) from the VLR supplied data. If the
call is a CUG call, then the CUG Information supplied by the VLR should replace the CUG Information
provided in the original Initial Address Message (I_IAM). The reason for this is because it is possible that,
as a result of the CUG Call Authorization Check performed by the VLR, the CUG Information to be
provided in the forwarding leg of the call may be different (see GSM 03.85 for details). This Initial Address
Message will then be sent to the Gateway MSC for the call to be forwarded.
If the call has already been forwarded as many times as allowed the VLR will return
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm with the user error set to "Forwarding
violation". In this instance the MSC will terminate the procedure by sending a Release message (I_REL)
to the calling subscriber to release the call.
Page 466
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Call Waiting
If the VLR is informed that it is not possible to complete the call set up because the subscriber is busy,
the VLR will check if the Call Waiting service is active. If the service is active, the VLR will instruct the
MSC to commence Call Waiting by sending a set up message to the MS (A_SETUP), this indicates to the
MS that another call is waiting. One of the following events will then occur:
- T1 Timer Expiry
Timer T1 (this is the network timer controlling time between sending of A_SETUP message and
receipt of an acknowledge from the MS) times out. The MSC will release the call in the direction of
the Calling Subscriber by sending a release message (I_REL) with the cause value set to User
Busy (#17), to the Gateway MSC. The Call Waiting procedure in the MSC is then terminated and,
as the call has already been released, no error is reported to the VLR. To terminate the Call
Handling procedures for this call, the VLR will return to the MSC the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm indicating success.

- Call Confirmed
The MS responds to the A_SETUP message with a Call Confirmed message (A_CALL_CONF),
the cause will indicate User Busy (#17). Once this is received channel assignment (if required) is
performed. In the case of assignment failure, the MSC will release the call in the direction of the
Calling Subscriber by sending a release message (I_REL) with the cause value set to User Busy
(#17), to the Gateway MSC. The Call Waiting procedure in the MSC is then terminated and, as the
call has already been released, no error is reported to the VLR. To terminate the Call Handling
procedures for this call, the VLR will return to the MSC the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm indicating success.

The call confirm message from the MS will be followed by an Alerting message (A_ALERT) from
the MS, this indicates that called user Alerting has commenced. Failure to receive and Alerting
message will result in termination of the Call Waiting procedure as described for Assignment
Failure in the previous paragraph.

- Disconnect
The called MS may decide to reject the call, this is indicated to the MSC by the Disconnect
Message (A_DISC) with the Error Cause set to #17 (User Busy). In this instance the MSC will
terminate the Call Waiting procedure by returning the error Busy Subscriber (User Determined
User Busy) to the VLR in the MAP_PROCESS_CALL_WAITING service response. Also, any other
error cause returned in the Disconnect message will be handled in the same way.

If the Call Waiting is to proceed, i.e. the call has been confirmed and the Alerting message has been
received from the called MS, then one of the following events will occur:
- Called MS accepts the new call
The called MS may elect to either place the existing call on hold or release the existing call,
alternatively the A subscriber may release the call. Regardless of the scenario invoked to free the
existing call, acceptance of the call waiting is signalled by the Called MS sending a Connect
message (A_CONN) to the MSC. To acknowledge the connection the MSC will respond with a
connect acknowledge message (A_CONN_ACK). The MSC also informs the calling user that the
call has been answered by returning an Answer message (I_ANM). The Call Waiting procedure
has now been completed successfully. As no error is reported, the VLR will terminate the Call Set
up procedure for this call by returning MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm
indicating success.

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

- CWT Timer expiry
Timer CWT (this is the network timer controlling the time between receipt of the A_ALERT
message and receipt of the A_CONN during waiting call) times out. If a No Reply Condition Timer
(NRCT) value is not supplied by the VLR in the Call Waiting request then the procedure can be
terminated by the MSC sending a Disconnect message (A_DISC) to the MS. The MSC will release
the call in the direction of the calling subscriber by sending a Release message (I_REL), with the
cause value set to User Busy (#17), to the Gateway MSC. The Call Waiting procedure is then
terminated and, as the call has already been released, no error is reported to the VLR. To
terminate the Call Handling procedures for this call, the VLR returns to the MSC the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm indicating success.

If a No Reply Condition Timer value is supplied by the VLR, this indicates that the Call Forwarding
on No Reply service is active. In this case the MSC will terminate the Call Waiting procedure by
returning MAP_PROCESS_CALL_WAITING service response with the error value set to No
Subscriber Reply and await instructions from the VLR for forwarding the call.

- Disconnect
The Called MS may release the new call, this will be indicated by a Disconnect message (A_DISC).
The Call Waiting procedure is terminated and the error Busy Subscriber (User Determined User
Busy) is returned to the VLR in the MAP_PROCESS_CALL_WAITING service confirm.

Alerting Failure
A Call Confirmed message (A_CALL_CONF) has been received from the MS but an Alerting message
(A_ALERT) has not been received from the MS. The timer associated with the alerting procedure has
expired. The MSC will then release the call by sending a Release message (I_REL) to the calling
subscriber. The resources associated with the mobile terminating side of the call should also be released
(i.e. mobile station and base station resources). To terminate the procedure in the VLR a
MAP_U_ABORT indication is sent. The call handling procedures are then terminated in the MSC for this
call.
Access Request Failure
The Access Request procedure may fail for several reasons, either the access request is not accepted
(i.e. the subscriber is not recognized or roaming is not allowed) or one of the associated procedures fails
(i.e. Authentication, Ciphering, IMEI Check or TMSI reallocation). Failure of this procedure is reported to
the MSC in the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST service confirm (see subclause 6.3 for a
definition of the possible user errors). The VLR will terminate the call set up procedure by returning
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm with the user error set either to "System
Failure" or "Absent Subscriber". The MSC will then terminate the procedure by sending a Release
Message (I_REL) to the calling subscriber to release the call.
CUG Failure
If the VLR cannot convert the CUG Interlock Code into an Index the user error "CUG Reject" is returned
to the MSC in the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service confirm. In this instance the MSC
will terminate the procedure by sending a Release Message (I_REL) to the Gateway MSC, with the ISUP
Cause Indicator set to the appropriate value. The mapping between the GSM and ISUP reject causes are
defined in GSM 09 series of technical specifications.

18.3.3 Procedures in the VLR
The procedure is shown in figures 18.3/5, 18.3/6 and 18.2/4. These procedures make use of a number of
processes and macros not described in this subclause. The description of these can be found in the
following subclauses:
Receive_Open_Cnf subclause 21.1;
Check_Confirmation subclause 21.2;
Check_Indication subclause 21.2;
Process_Access_Request_VLR subclause 21.4.

Successful Outcome
When the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service indication is received from the MSC, the
VLR will first check the parameters and data for errors. If there are no errors the VLR will check to see if
the MS is known to it, the MS will be identified by MSRN. If the MS is known, the Indicator "Confirmed by
HLR" (HLR_CONF_IND) is set to "Confirmed", roaming in the current location area is allowed and the
IMSI detached flag is not set, the VLR will initiate paging procedures to locate the MS.
If the VLR holds location information for the MS, the service MAP_PAGE is invoked, containing the IMSI
of the subscriber, the Stored Location Area Id and the subscribers TMSI (if available in the VLR). The
VLR then waits for the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST service request, which is confirmation that
paging was successful.
If no location information is available in the VLR, e.g. due to previous VLR recovery, the service
MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS is invoked, this request will just contain the IMSI of the subscriber. The VLR
then waits for the MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS service confirm, in the case of success this will contain the
Current Location Area Id of the subscribers actual location, causing updating of the Location Area
Information in the VLR. In the case of error only an error cause is returned.
Completion of the Paging procedures is followed by the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST service
indication to the VLR, this is to initiate subscriber access to the network for the called subscriber. On
receipt of this indication the VLR will commence the Access Request procedure (this is described in
subclause 21). On successful completion of the Process Access Request procedure, the
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST service indication is confirmed to the MSC.
If CUG Interlock code is present (and optionally CUG Outgoing Access indicator) in the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service indication, the VLR will translate the CUG Interlock
code to the CUG Index (see GSM 03.85 for the rules regarding the provision of CUG Index).
In addition, if the Call Forwarding on No Reply service is active the NRCT value will be supplied along
with the other parameters of the MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service request.
The other parameters for call set up will be sent to the MSC using MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service
request. There will be no response from the MSC for successful completion of Complete Call. If no errors
are reported by the MSC the VLR will set the result parameter of
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service response to success and return this to the MSC.
This terminates the procedures in the VLR.
Data or parameter errors
If any parameter or data errors are detected by the VLR during the MS terminating call set up procedures,
the MAP service user error is set (either "Data Error" or "Unexpected Data Value") and returned. The
procedure is then terminated in the VLR.
Page 476
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Service Provider Failure
Once a dialogue between the MSC and VLR is established, a MAP_P_ABORT service indication may be
received, at any stage, from the MAP Service Provider. This will abort the dialogue (see clause 5 for a
definition of the abort reasons) and the procedure in the VLR terminated.
Call Released by Calling Subscriber
The call may be released by the calling subscriber at any stage during the MS terminating call set up
procedure. The VLR will be informed of this event by the MSC sending a MAP_U_ABORT service
indication. The VLR will then terminate all procedures associated with this call, this may include sending a
MAP_U_ABORT to the HLR if CUG information has been requested.
MS Data Not Confirmed by HLR
If the MSRN is known to the VLR but the indicator "Confirmed by HLR" (HLR_CONF_IND) is set to "Not
Confirmed", the user error will be set to "System Failure" and the Result parameter set to Error. This
information is returned to the MSC in the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL and the procedure
in the VLR terminated.
Called Subscriber Not Reachable
If the called subscriber is not reachable, either because the IMSI Detached Flag is set or because the
called subscriber is not allowed to roam into the current location area, the VLR will check if the call
forwarding on MS not reachable service is active. If the service is active and the call has not been
forwarded as many times as allowed, the forwarding address is returned to the MSC in the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service response. The procedure is then terminated in the
VLR.
If the call forwarding service is not active the user error is set to "Absent Subscriber" and this is returned
to the MSC in the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service response. The procedure is then
terminated in the VLR.
Forwarding Violation
If a call forwarding service is active but the call has already been forwarded as many times as allowed the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service response user error will be set to "Forwarding
Violation". The result parameter is also set to Error. This information is returned to the MSC and the
procedure in the VLR is terminated.
Access Request Failure
The Access Request procedure may fail for several reasons, either the access request is not accepted
(i.e. subscriber is not recognized or roaming is not allowed) or one of the associated procedures fails (i.e.
Authentication, Ciphering, IMEI Check or TMSI reallocation). The VLR will then terminate the procedure
for this call by setting the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service parameter user error to
"System Failure" or "Absent Subscriber" (depending on the error returned by the Access Request
Procedure) and the Result parameter to Error. This is then returned to the MSC and the procedure in the
VLR terminated.
Page 477
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Paging or Call Set up Failure
These procedures may fail for a number of reasons:
1) Absent Subscriber

If either procedure fails due to absent subscriber the VLR will then determine whether the Call Forwarding
on MS Not Reachable service is active. If the service is active, the call has not been forwarded more
times than allowed, and a CUG call authorization check is not required, the VLR will provide the
forwarding address to the MSC in MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service response. The
procedure is then terminated in the VLR.
If CUG information is provided and/or the forwarding subscriber is a CUG subscriber then the VLR will
perform a CUG call authorization check on the forwarding partys outgoing access. The procedures for
authorizing a CUG call with call forwarding interaction are described in more detail in GSM 03.85. On
successful completion of the CUG call authorization check the VLR will provide the forwarding address
and the new CUG Information (i.e. output of the CUG Call Authorization check) to be used on the
forwarding leg of the call, to the MSC in MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service response.
The procedure is then terminated in the VLR.
If the Call Forwarding on MS Not Reachable service is not active, the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service user error parameter is set to "Absent Subscriber".
This is then returned to the MSC and the procedure in the VLR terminated.
2) Radio congestion or No Subscriber Reply

The failure Radio Congestion will only occur with the Call Set up procedure.
The VLR will determine if a Call Forwarding service is active (e.g. Call Forwarding on MS Not Reachable
in the case of radio congestion and Call Forwarding on No Reply for No Subscriber Reply). If the
appropriate Call Forwarding service is active, the call has not been forwarded more times than allowed,
and a CUG authorization check is not required, the VLR will provide the forwarding address to the MSC in
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service response. The procedure is then terminated in the
VLR.
If CUG information is provided and/or the forwarding subscriber is a CUG subscriber then the VLR will
perform a CUG call authorization check on the forwarding partys outgoing access. The procedures for
authorizing a CUG call with call forwarding interaction are described in more detail in GSM 03.85. On
successful completion of the CUG call authorization check the VLR will provide the forwarding address to
the MSC in MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service response. The procedure is then
terminated in the VLR.
If a Call Forwarding service is not active, the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service user
error parameter is set to "Impossible Call Completion". This is then returned to the MSC and the
procedure in the VLR terminated.
3) Busy Subscriber

Three scenarios need to be considered in this category of failure:
- Network Determined User Busy (NDUB)
This condition occurs when a call is about to be offered and the information (i.e., traffic) channel
(Bm or Lm) is busy/not available and the maximum number of total calls has been reached. The
value of the maximum number of calls is 1 for the basic call. When the supplementary service Call
Waiting is applicable, the value is n+1, where n is the maximum number of calls that can be waiting
(reference GSM 02.01).

Page 478
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

If this error is reported by the MSC, the VLR will check if the Call Forwarding on Busy service is
active. If the service is active, and the call has not been forwarded more times than allowed, and a
CUG authorization check is not required, the VLR will provide the forwarding address to the MSC in
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service response. The procedure is then terminated
in the VLR.

If CUG information is provided and/or the forwarding subscriber is a CUG subscriber then the VLR
will perform a CUG call authorization check on the forwarding partys outgoing access. The
procedures for authorizing a CUG call with call forwarding interaction are described in more detail
in GSM 03.85. On successful completion of the CUG call authorization check the VLR will provide
the forwarding address to the MSC in MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service
response. The procedure is then terminated in the VLR.

If Call Forwarding on Busy is not active, the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service
user error is set to "Impossible Call Completion". This is then returned to the MSC and the
procedure in the VLR terminated.

- More Calls Allowed
This condition occurs when a call is about to be offered and the called MS is already busy but the
maximum number of total calls has not yet been reached. (reference GSM 02.01).

If this error is reported by the MSC, the VLR will first check if the Call Waiting service is active. If
the service is not active the VLR will then check if the Call Forwarding on Busy service is active. If
this service is also not active then the procedure in the VLR for this call will be terminated and
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service response is returned to the MSC with the
Error Cause set to Impossible Call Completion.

If the Call Waiting service is not active but the Call Forwarding on Busy service is active, then the
procedure will continue as if the Network Determined User Busy error had been returned, see
above.

If the Call Waiting service is active, the VLR will construct a Call Waiting request. If CUG
Information is provided, the VLR will first translate the interlock code to the CUG Index. If there is
no match, the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service response is returned to the
MSC with the user error set to "System Failure". The procedure in the VLR is then terminated.

If there is a match, the VLR will then check if the Call Forwarding on No Reply service is active. If
this service is active and the call has not been forwarded more times that allowed, the No Reply
Condition Timer will be provided in the Call Waiting request (this indicates to the MSC that Call
Forwarding on No Reply service is active). Should the call have already been forwarded as many
times as allowed then a No Reply Condition Timer value will not be supplied.

On successful completion of the CUG and call forwarding checks, the VLR will instruct the MSC to
commence Call Waiting by sending MAP_PROCESS_CALL_WAITING service request. If no errors
are returned by the MSC, the VLR will return MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service
response, with the result set to Success. The procedure in the VLR is then terminated.

If Call Waiting was not completed successfully the MSC will respond with
MAP_PROCESS_CALL_WAITING service confirm. If the user error indicates "Busy Subscriber",
the procedure continues as described for Network Determined User Busy above. If the error No
Subscriber Reply is returned, the procedure continues as described under No Subscriber Reply
(item 2 above). All other errors returned by the MSC will result in the VLR returning Impossible Call
Completion user error in MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service response. The
procedure in the VLR is then terminated.

Page 479
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

- User Determined User Busy (UDUB)
This condition occurs when a call is offered to an MS and the MS responds "User Busy" because
the subscribers resources (terminal or person using them) are busy (reference GSM 02.01). This
busy condition is treated in exactly the same way as Network Determined User Busy, see above.

If the Busy Subscriber error cause does not indicate one of the above states then the VLR will treat this
error as More Calls Allowed.
CUG Failure
Failure will be due either to the VLR being unable to convert the Interlock code into an Index, or the CUG
Call Authorization check for call forwarding interaction may not be successful. This will result in VLR
terminating the procedure for this call by setting MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL service
user error to "CUG Reject" in the case of CUG authorization failure, and "System Failure" for failure to
convert the CUG Interlock Code to an Index. This is then sent to the MSC, the procedure in the VLR is
then terminated.

18.4 MS originated calls
18.4.1 General
The call can be established in two ways in the GSM. Either with the early assignment or with the off air
call set up (OACSU). The difference between these is that in the latter case the radio channel is reserved
at the last possible moment, i.e. when the called subscriber answers. In this subclause only the procedure
with the early assignment is shown. The procedure is shown in figure 18.4/1, this is an example sequence
which assumes successful operation.

Notes to figure 18.4/1:
NOTE 1: The BSS and MSC message flow shown in this diagram is only an example of the
interworking possibilities. For further details of the procedures between the MSC and
MS refer to GSM 04.08 (Mobile Radio Interface Layer 3 Specification).
NOTE 2: The MS and MSC message flow shown in this diagram is only an example of the
interworking possibilities. For further details of the procedures between the MSC and
BSS refer to GSM 08.08 (base station to switch Interface, Layer 3).
NOTE 3: TUP and ISUP may be used in signalling between MSCs, depending on the network
type between the MSCs. For further details on the TUP and ISUP procedures refer to
the following CCITT Recommendations:
Q.721-Q.725 Telephone User Part (TUP);
Q.761-Q.764 ISDN User Part (ISUP).

It is assumed that signalling towards the fixed network only uses one message, IAM
(Initial Address Message). Examples of other interworking cases are not shown in this
standard (for further information see e.g. CCITT Recommendation Q.699).
NOTE 4: Acknowledgement of A-CM-SER-REQ can also be performed by invocation of
ciphering mode setting (A-CIPH-MOD-CMD).
NOTE 5: In some circumstances negotiation of bearer service or teleservice capabilities may be
required to set up an MS originated call. The interworking between the VLR and MSC
to control this negotiation is not specified in the MAP.
The following MAP services are used during outgoing call set up:
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST see clause 6;
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL see clause 8;
MAP_COMPLETE_CALL see clause 8;
MAP_PROVIDE_IMSI see clause 6;
MAP_SET_CIPHERING_MODE see clause 6;
MAP_AUTHENTICATE see clause 6;
MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI see clause 6;
MAP_CHECK_IMEI see clause 6;
MAP_OBTAIN_IMEI see clause 6.

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

18.4.2 Procedures in the MSC
The procedure is described in figures 18.4/2, 18.4/3 and 18.4/4. These procedures make use of a number
of processes and macros not described in this subclause. The description of these can be found in the
following subclauses:
Check_Confirmation subclause 21.2;
Process_Access_Request_MSC subclause 21.4.

Successful Outcome
On receipt of an A_CM_SERV_REQ indicating an outgoing circuit switched call set up from the MS, the
MSC will initiate a MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST service request to the VLR. The VLR will then
invoke the Access Request procedures, this is described in clause 21.
Once the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST service indication is accepted the MS will then send to
the MSC the call control information (e.g. called party address and bearer capability), this is contained in
an A_SETUP message. From this information the MSC will construct a
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL service request and send it to the VLR, to request the
subscriber parameters for handling the call.
If the request was successful the VLR will respond with a MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service request. This
is the instruction to the MSC to proceed with the call set up. To indicate to the calling MS that the call is
being proceeded, the MSC will send an A_CALL_PROC message. This message and the procedures
associated with it are described in more detail in GSM 04.08.
To complete the call set up procedures, the MSC will commence the connection establishment phase of
the call by sending an Initial Address Message (I_IAM) to the Gateway MSC. If this call is to be treated as
a CUG call, then the CUG information (Interlock Code and optionally the Outgoing Access indicator)
provided in the MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service indication, should be used to construct the CUG
information in the Initial Address Message (I_IAM). The reason for this, is because it is possible that the
CUG Information returned by the VLR may be different to the CUG Information originally supplied by the
MSC, due to the changes required by the CUG Call Authorization check. The CUG Index may also be
returned by the VLR, the presence of this parameter in the MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service indication is
confirmation that an implicit CUG has been invoked. This information will not be passed onto the called
user but as an operator option, this information may be returned to the Calling User. See GSM 03.85 for
further details of the CUG options and checks.
Service Provider Failure
Once the dialogue between the MSC and the VLR is established a MAP_P_ABORT service indication
may be received at any stage from the MAP Service Provider. This aborts the dialogue, see clause 5 for a
definition of the abort reason.
The MSC then clears the call by sending a Disconnect message (A_DISC) to the MS and a Clear
Command (A_CLR_CMD) to the BSS to release the associated dedicated resource. The clear
procedures are described in more detail in GSM 04.08 (MS) and GSM 08.08 (BSS). The procedure in the
MSC is then terminated.
Call Released by Calling Subscriber
The call may be released at any time by the calling subscriber, this is indicated to the MSC by the MS
sending a Release Message (either A_REL, A_REL_COM or A_DISC, see GSM 04.08 for a more
detailed description of the options available). To terminate the call set up procedures for this call the MSC
will send a MAP_U_ABORT service request to the VLR, this will indicate a User Reason of Application
Procedure Cancelled and a Diagnostic value of Call Released. The procedure in the MSC is then
terminated.
Page 490
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Process Access Request Failure
The VLR may reject the Process Access Request, either the Access Request is not accepted or one of
the associated procedures called by the Access Request procedure may fail (i.e. Authentication,
Ciphering, IMEI check or TMSI reallocation). Regardless of the reason, the call will be cleared by the
MSC rejecting the MS Service Request. This is indicated to the MS by the MSC sending a CM Service
Reject message (A_CM_SERV_REJ). The procedure in the MSC is then terminated.
Calling Subscriber Barred
The calling subscriber may be barred from making outgoing calls or roaming (see GSM 02.41 for a
description of the call barring conditions), the MSC is informed of this condition by the VLR in the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL service confirm, the user error will be set to "Call Barred"
with the barring cause indicating either "Call Barred" or "Call Barred for Administrative Reasons". The
MSC will instruct the MS to release the call by sending a Release Complete message (A_REL_COMP).
The procedure in the MSC is then terminated.
Assignment Failure
The BSS may fail to seize a radio channel for one of the following reasons:
- Use of the terrestrial channel selected by the MSC is impossible;

- Radio Congestion.

The MSC will be informed of this failure by the Assignment Failure message (A_ASS_FAIL). The call is
then released by the MSC sending a Disconnect message (A_DISC) to the MS to initiate the clear
procedure.
The MSC will then inform the VLR of this failure by setting the MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service user
error to "Radio Congestion". The VLR will return MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL service
response with the user error set to "System Failure". The procedure in the MSC is then terminated.
CUG Failure
The serving VLR will perform the outgoing call CUG authorization, if the call fails this authorization the
user error "CUG Reject" is returned by the VLR in the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL
service response. The MSC will instruct the MS to release the call by sending a Release Complete
message (A_REL_COMP). The procedure in the MSC is then terminated.

18.4.3 Procedures in the VLR
The procedure is shown in figures 18.4/5 and 18.4/6. These procedures make use of a number of
processes and macros not described in this subclause. The description of these can be found in the
following subclauses:
Check_Confirmation subclause 21.2;
Process_Access_Request_VLR subclause 21.4;
Receive_Open_Ind subclause 21.1;
Check_Indication subclause 21.2.

Successful Outcome
Once the procedures initiated by the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST service request have been
successfully completed, the MSC will then initiate a MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL service
request. This is to request the VLR to provide information to allow the MSC to handle an outgoing call set
up request from an MS. The VLR will check the parameters and data for errors.
If a specific Bearer Service or Teleservice has been requested by the MS, the VLR will then perform the
subscription check for the provision of the service. The VLR will also check the activation status of the
supplementary services and the status of call barring services (i.e. barring of outgoing calls, conditional
barring of outgoing calls or administrative reasons such as bad payer).
If the calling MS is part of a closed user group (CUG), the MSC will have passed any CUG information
(received from the MS) to the VLR in the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL service request.
The VLR will perform the authorization checks on the call, this authorization is determined by the
information received from the MSC, the subscription information held by the VLR and the call scenario. It
is possible that a CUG call may be implicitly invoked without CUG information being passed to the VLR in
the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL service indication. In this instance, the VLR will just
return the CUG_Index value to the MSC. The procedures for authorizing a CUG call and the information
to be returned to the serving MSC are described in more detail in GSM 03.85.
If the calling MS has passed all checks the VLR will instruct the MSC to set up the call by sending a
MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service request to the MSC. This request may contain parameters related to
the subscription, e.g. supplementary services and basic services. On successful completion of the
MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service, this procedure is then terminated in the VLR.
Parameter or data errors
If the VLR detects any parameter or data errors in MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL service
indication from the MSC, the VLR will reject the service request. The
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL service parameter user error will be set to either "Data
Missing" or "Unexpected Data Value". This response is returned to the MSC and the procedures in the
VLR will be terminated.
Service Provider Failure
Once a dialogue between the MSC and VLR or VLR and HLR is established, a MAP_P_ABORT service
indication may be received, at any stage, from the MAP Service Provider. This will abort the dialogue, see
clause 5 for a definition of the abort reasons.
Call Released by Calling MS
The call may be released by the calling subscriber at any stage during the outgoing call set up procedure.
The VLR will be informed of this event by the MSC sending a MAP_U_ABORT service indication. The
VLR will then terminate all procedures associated with the call.
Page 495
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Process Access Request Failure
If any of this procedure fails (e.g. Authentication, IMEI Check, Ciphering or TMSI reallocation) the VLR
will terminate the outgoing call set up procedure for this call. The MSC will have already been informed of
the failure by the Process Access Request Procedure (see clause 21).
Service Subscription Check Failure
If the Bearer Service or Teleservice requested by the MS for this call is not available. The VLR will set the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL service parameter user error to either "Teleservice Not
Provisioned" or Bearer Service Not Provisioned". This confirmation is then returned to the MSC and the
procedures for this call terminated in the VLR.
Calls Barred
If calls for this MS are barred (e.g. all outgoing calls, conditional barring of outgoing calls, roaming barred
or calls barred due to Operator Determined Barring as defined in GSM 02.41), the VLR will terminate
outgoing call set up procedures. The MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL service parameter
user error will be set to "Call Barred", this is then returned to the MSC.
CUG Failure
If the call fails the CUG Authorization check (the procedures for authorizing an outgoing CUG call are
defined in GSM 03.85), CUG failure will be reported back to the MSC, the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL service parameter user error will be set to "CUG Reject".
Outgoing call set up procedures for this call will then be terminated in the VLR.
Call Set up Failure
If, following a MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service request from the VLR, the MSC fails to set up the call this
will be reported as an error in MAP_COMPLETE_CALL service confirm. Regardless of the reason for
failure, the VLR will set the user error parameter of MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_OUTGOING_CALL to
"System Failure". This service response is then returned to the MSC and the procedures in the VLR
terminated.

19 Supplementary services procedures
The following application contexts exist for handling of supplementary services:
- accessUnstructuredSsContext;

- accessFunctionalSsContext.

The accessUnstructuredSsContext refers to a simple MAP users, for which the corresponding MAP
process can be identified by the MAP-Provider directly.
However, the accessFunctionalSsContext refers to a complex MAP-User consisting of several processes.
For this user, a process co-ordinator is defined for each network entity, in order to identify the correct
process to invoke. These processes open and validate the dialogue, then invoke the necessary
operation-specific process. These processes are described below.
19.0 Functional supplementary service processes
19.0.1 Functional supplementary service process co-ordinator for MSC
Upon receipt of a CM-Service request with CM-service type = SS, the MSC initiates the process access
request procedure towards the VLR as described in clause 21 of this ETS.
Once a CM connection is established, the MSC can handle supplementary service indications from the
MS. Table 19.0/1 shows the co-ordinating process reaction on receipt of specific SS service indications
on the air interface. After the relevant process is invoked, the received air interface service indication is
sent to that process. The creation of service requests on the basis of air interface messages is described
in GSM 09.11.

19.0.2 Functional supplementary service process co-ordinator for VLR
Any functional SS process in the VLR starts by the VLR receiving the
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST indication. The VLR then acts as described in clause 21 of this
ETS.
If the Process Access Request was successful, the VLR can handle supplementary service indications
from the MSC. Table 19.0/2 shows the co-ordinating process reaction on receipt of specific SS service
indications from the MSC. After the relevant process is invoked, the received service indication is sent to
that process, and the co-ordinating process terminates.

19.0.3 Functional supplementary service process co-ordinator for HLR
Any functional SS process in the HLR starts by the HLR receiving a MAP-OPEN service indication. If that
service is successful, the HLR can handle supplementary service indications from the VLR. Table 19.0/3
shows the co-ordinating process reaction on receipt of specific SS service indications from the VLR. After
the relevant process is invoked, the received service indication is sent to that process, and the co-
ordinating process terminates.

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

19.1.2 Procedures in the MSC
Supplementary service registration
The A_REGISTER_SS service indication received by the MAP user in the MSC contains the SS-Code
and any parameters that are related to the supplementary service.
The MAP user transfers the received information to the VLR in the MAP_REGISTER_SS request without
checking the contents of the service indication. Rules for the mapping are described in GSM 09.11.
The MSC then awaits the receipt of the MAP_REGISTER_SS confirm from the VLR. The outcome of the
procedure is reported to the MS in the A_REGISTER_SS response message as described in GSM 04.8x,
04.9x and 09.11. Finally the SS-connection is released.
For call independent SS operations, each message shall only contain a single component. Messages
which contain more than one component will be stopped at the air interface (as specified in GSM 09.11).
Error handling
If at any time during the supplementary service part of this procedure a MAP_P_ABORT,
MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_NOTICE or unexpected MAP_CLOSE indication is received from the VLR
concerning the process, a CM_RELEASE_COMPLETE indication is sent to the MS (as specified in
GSM 09.11). Upon receipt of a MAP_NOTICE indication from the VLR, the MSC must close the VLR
dialogue by sending a MAP_CLOSE request. The process is then terminated.
If an A_CM_RELEASE indication is received from the MS, all open transactions shall be released using
the MAP_U_ABORT request indicating application procedure cancellation, and the process is terminated.
The registration procedure in the MSC is shown in figure 19.1.2/1.

19.1.3 Procedures in the VLR
Supplementary service registration
When receiving the MAP_REGISTER_SS indication, the MAP user in the VLR transfers the information
to the HLR in the MAP_REGISTER_SS request without checking the contents of the service indication.
The VLR then awaits the receipt of the MAP_REGISTER_SS confirm from the HLR. The MAP user in the
VLR shall transfer the information contained in this primitive to the MSC in the MAP_REGISTER_SS
response without checking its contents.
For call independent SS operations, each message shall only contain a single component. Messages
which contain more than one component will be stopped at the air interface (as specified in GSM 09.11).
Error handling
If at any time during this procedure a MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_NOTICE or unexpected
MAP_CLOSE indication is received from the MSC concerning the process, a MAP_U_ABORT request
indicating application procedure cancellation is sent to the HLR (if a connection exists). If a
MAP_NOTICE indication was received from the MSC, that dialogue must be closed by sending a
MAP_CLOSE request towards the MSC. The process is terminated.
If a MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT or MAP_CLOSE indication is received from the HLR, a
MAP_U_ABORT request shall be sent to the MSC terminating the process. If a MAP_NOTICE indication
was received from the HLR, that dialogue must be closed by sending a MAP_CLOSE request towards the
HLR. The process terminates.
The registration procedure in the VLR is shown in figure 19.1.3/1.

19.1.4 Procedures in the HLR
The procedure in the HLR is initiated when it receives a MAP_REGISTER_SS indication.
The HLR acts as follows:
- if the operator has barred the subscriber from access to supplementary services, the Call Barred
error should be returned to the VLR. The parameter "operatorBarring" shall be included with the
error.

The supplementary service request shall then be processed according to GSM 03.11 and the 03.8x and
03.9x-series of technical specifications. This handling may lead to either a successful result, a partially
successful result, or an error being returned.
For call independent SS operations, each message shall only contain a single component. Messages
which contain more than one component will be stopped at the air interface (as specified in GSM 09.11):
- if the VLR is to be updated after the supplementary service registration, the
MAP_INSERT_SUBS_DATA_HLR process shall be initiated;

- if at any time during this procedure a MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT or MAP_CLOSE indication
concerning the process is received from the VLR, the process is terminated. If a MAP_NOTICE
indication is received, a MAP_CLOSE request indicating sent towards the VLR.

The registration procedure in the HLR is shown in figure 19.1.4/1.

Page 519
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

19.3.2 Procedures in the MSC
The A_ACTIVATE_SS service indication received by the MAP user in the MSC contains the SS-Code
and any parameters related to the supplementary service.
The MSC transfers the received information to the VLR in the MAP_ACTIVATE_SS request without
checking the contents of the service indication. Rules for the mapping are described in GSM 09.11.
The MAP user may subsequently receive the MAP_GET_PASSWORD indication from the VLR. Upon
receipt of this indication, the MSC sends the A_GET_PASSWORD message towards the MS and then
awaits the response from the MS. When an A_GET_PASSWORD confirm message is received from the
MS, the MSC initiates the MAP_GET_PASSWORD response towards the VLR without checking further
the contents of the indication. Also see GSM 09.11.
The MSC will receive a MAP_ACTIVATE_SS confirm from the VLR. The outcome of the procedure is
reported to the MS in the A_ACTIVATE_SS response message, see GSM 04.8x, 04.9x and 09.11. Finally
the SS connection is released.
For call independent SS operations, each message shall only contain a single component. Messages
which contain more than one component will be stopped at the air interface (as specified in GSM 09.11).
The handling of MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_NOTICE and unexpected MAP_CLOSE or
A_CM_RELEASE in this procedure is identical to the handling in the Registration procedure in the MSC,
see subclause 19.1.2 of this ETS.
The activation procedure in the MSC is shown in figure 19.3.2/1.

19.3.3 Procedures in the VLR
Supplementary service activation
When receiving the MAP_ACTIVATE_SS indication, the MAP user in the VLR transfers the information to
the HLR in the MAP_ACTIVATE_SS request without checking the contents of the service indication.
The VLR may then receive the MAP_GET_PASSWORD indication. This information is transferred to the
MSC in the MAP_GET_PASSWORD request. If a MAP_GET_PASSWORD confirm primitive is received
from the MSC, the VLR initiates the MAP_GET_PASSWORD response towards the HLR.
The VLR will receive the MAP_ACTIVATE_SS confirm from the HLR. The MAP user in the VLR shall
transfer the information contained in this primitive to the MSC in the MAP_ACTIVATE_SS response
without checking its contents.
For call independent SS operations, each message shall only contain a single component. Messages
which contain more than one component will be stopped at the air interface (as specified in GSM 09.11).
Error handling
The handling of MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_NOTICE and unexpected MAP_CLOSE in this
procedure is identical to the handling in the Registration procedure in the VLR, see subclause 19.1.3 of
this ETS.
The activation procedure in the VLR is shown in figure 19.3.3/1.

19.3.4 Procedures in the HLR
The procedure in the HLR is initiated when it receives a MAP_ACTIVATE_SS indication.
The HLR acts as follows:
- if the operator has barred the subscriber from access to supplementary services, the Call Barred
error should be returned to the VLR. The parameter "operatorBarring" shall be included with the
error.

The supplementary service request shall then be processed according to GSM 03.11 and the 03.8x and
03.9x-series of technical specifications. This handling may lead to either a successful result, a partially
successful result, or an error being returned.
During the handling of activation, the get password procedure may be initiated (as specified in
GSM 03.11). This will involve the sending of a MAP_GET_PASSWORD request to the VLR.
For call independent SS operations, each message shall only contain a single component. Messages
which contain more than one component will be stopped at the air interface (as specified in GSM 09.11):
- if the VLR is to be updated after the supplementary service activation, the
MAP_INSERT_SUBS_DATA_HLR process is initiated;

- handling of receipt of MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT or MAP_CLOSE indications from the VLR
is identical to their handling in the registration procedure, see subclause 19.1.4 above.

The activation procedure in the HLR is shown in figure 19.3.4/1.

19.4 Deactivation procedure
19.4.1 General
The deactivation procedure is used to deactivate a supplementary service in the HLR. The deactivation
procedure is a fully transparent communication between the MS and the HLR, except that some services
may be invoked as a result of the procedure, as described in the subclauses below.
The deactivation procedure is shown in figure 19.4.1/1.
The following services may be used:
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_TRACE_SUBSCRIBER_ACTIVITY (defined in clauses 7 and 21);
MAP_PROVIDE_IMSI (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI (defined in clauses 6 and 21);

19.5 Interrogation procedure
19.5.1 General
The interrogation procedure is used to retrieve information related to a supplementary service from the
VLR or the HLR. It is the VLR which decides whether an interrogation request should be forwarded to the
HLR or not. Some non-supplementary service related services may be invoked as a result of the
procedure, as described in the subclauses below.
The interrogation procedure is shown in figure 19.5.1/1.
The following services may be used:

19.5.2 Procedures in the MSC
The MSC procedures for interrogation are identical to those specified for registration in subclause 19.1.2.
The text and diagrams in subclause 19.1.2 apply with all references to registration changed to
interrogation.
19.5.3 Procedures in the VLR
Supplementary service interrogation
When receiving the MAP_INTERROGATE_SS indication, the MAP user acts as follows:
- if the operator has barred the subscriber from access to supplementary services, the error Call
Barred is returned to the MSC. The parameter "operatorBarring" shall be included with the error.

The interrogation is either answered by the VLR or by the HLR, depending on the service interrogated.
a) Interrogation to be handled by the VLR

The supplementary service request shall then be processed according to GSM 03.11 and the 03.8x and
03.9x-series of technical specifications. This handling may lead to either a successful result, a partially
successful result, or an error being returned.
For call independent SS operations, each message shall only contain a single component. Messages
which contain more than one component will be stopped at the air interface (as specified in GSM 09.11).
b) Interrogation to be handled by HLR

If the interrogation is to be handled by the HLR, on receiving the MAP_INTERROGATE_SS indication,
the MAP user in the VLR transfers the information to the HLR in the MAP_INTERROGATE_SS request
without further checking the contents of the service indication.
The VLR will receive the MAP_INTERROGATE_SS confirm from the HLR. The MAP user in the VLR
shall transfer the information contained in this primitive to the MSC in the MAP_INTERROGATE_SS
response without checking its contents.
For call independent SS operations, each message shall only contain a single component. Messages
which contain more than one component will be stopped at the air interface (as specified in GSM 09.11).
Error handling
Handling of MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_NOTICE and unexpected MAP_CLOSE in this
procedure is identical to the handling in the Registration procedure in the VLR, subclause 19.1.3. The
Interrogation procedure is described in figure 19.5.3/1.

19.5.4 Procedures in the HLR
When receiving the MAP_INTERROGATE_SS indication, the MAP user acts as follows:
- if the operator has barred the subscriber from access to supplementary services, the error Call
Barred is returned to the MSC. The parameter "operatorBarring" shall be included with the error;

- if the supplementary service is not supported in HLR the error Unexpected Data Value is returned
to the VLR.

The interrogation is either answered by the VLR or by the HLR, depending on the service interrogated.
a) Interrogation to be handled by the VLR

If the interrogation procedure should have been answered by the VLR, then the HLR assumes that the
VLR does not support the interrogated supplementary service, and returns the SS Not Available error to
the VLR.
b) Interrogation to be handled by HLR

The supplementary service request shall be processed according to GSM 03.11 and the 03.8x and
03.9x-series of technical specifications. This handling may lead to either a successful result or an error
being returned.
For call independent SS operations, each message shall only contain a single component.
Error handling
Handling of MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_NOTICE and unexpected MAP_CLOSE in this
procedure is identical to the handling in the Registration procedure in the VLR, subclause 19.1.3. The
Interrogation procedure is described in figure 19.5.4/1.

19.6.2 Procedures in the MSC
Process access request
Before the Call Hold or Multi-Party supplementary services can be invoked, a CC connection must be
established between the MS and the MSC as described in GSM 04.08 and the Call Handling procedure
descriptions within this ETS.
When an A_INVOKE_SS request message arrives at the MSC during a call (as described in GSM 04.10,
04.8x and 04.9x-series of technical specifications), then if control of subscription to the invoked
supplementary service is required, the MSC initiates the process access request procedure towards the
VLR as described in clause 21 of this ETS.
Supplementary service invocation
If the Process Access Request procedure towards the VLR is successful, the MSC shall forward a
MAP_INVOKE_SS service request towards the VLR. This request shall contain the SS-Code of the
supplementary service to be invoked, and possibly the Basic service code. Mapping from the
A_INVOKE_SS to this service request is described in GSM 09.11.
The MSC will receive a MAP_INVOKE_SS confirm from the VLR. If the outcome of the service is
successful (i.e. the service confirm is empty), the MSC will invoke the requested supplementary service
as described in GSM 02.8x-series, 03.8x and 03.9x-series of technical specifications. If the outcome of
the service is unsuccessful, the MSC shall send an appropriate A_INVOKE_SS response towards the
MS. The structure of this message is described in GSM 09.11 and 04.8x and 04.9x-series of technical
specifications.
Error handling
If at any time during this procedure a MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_NOTICE or MAP_CLOSE
indication concerning the process is received from the VLR, the process is terminated. If a MAP_NOTICE
indication was received from the VLR, the VLR dialogue must also be aborted by sending a
MAP_U_ABORT request indicating Procedure error towards the VLR. Possible signalling to the MS is
described in GSM 04.10.
If an A_CM_RELEASE indication is received from the MS, all open transactions are released using the
MAP_U_ABORT request indicating application procedure cancellation; the process terminates.
The invocation procedure in the MSC is shown in figure 19.6.2/1.

19.6.3 Procedures in the VLR
Process Access Request
When receiving the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST indication, the VLR acts as described in
clause 21 of this ETS.
Supplementary service invocation
When receiving the MAP_INVOKE_SS indication, the MAP user acts as follows:
- if the operator has barred the subscriber from access to supplementary services, the error "Call
Barred" is returned to the MSC. The parameter "operatorBarring" shall be included with the error;

- if any irrelevant information elements (according to the service description) or invalid information
element values are present in the service request, then the unexpected data value error is returned
to the MSC in the MAP_INVOKE_SS response;

- if the VLR does not support the invoked supplementary service then the VLR shall respond with the
SS Not Available error;

- if the requested supplementary service cannot be invoked by subscriber actions, then the VLR
shall respond with the Illegal SS Operation error;

- if the subscriber is not provided with (i.e. subscribed to) the requested supplementary service, then
the SS error status error (possibly including the SS-Status as parameter) is returned to the MSC in
the MAP_INVOKE_SS response.

If all checks are passed the VLR returns an empty MAP_INVOKE_SS response to the MSC, thus
indicating that the invocation request was accepted.
If at any time during this procedure a MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_NOTICE or unexpected
MAP_CLOSE indication concerning the process is received from the MSC, the process terminates. If a
MAP_NOTICE indication was received from the MSC, that dialogue must be aborted by sending a
MAP_U_ABORT request indicating Procedure error towards the MSC. The process terminates.
The invocation procedure in the VLR is shown in figure 19.6.3/1.

Page 543
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

19.7.2 Procedures in the MSC
The password registration procedure in the MSC is identical to that for activation specified in
subclause 19.3.2. All the text and diagrams in subclause 19.3.2 apply with all references to activation
changed to password registration.
19.7.3 Procedures in the VLR
The password registration procedure in the VLR is identical to that for activation specified in
subclause 19.3.3. All the text and diagrams in subclause 19.3.3 apply with all references to activation
changed to password registration.
19.7.4 Procedures in the HLR
The procedure in the HLR is initiated when it receives a MAP_REGISTER_PASSWORD indication.
The HLR acts as follows:
- if the operator has barred the subscriber for access to supplementary services, the Call Barred
error is returned to the VLR. The parameter "operatorBarring" shall be included with the error;

- if any irrelevant information elements (according to the service description) or invalid information
element values are present, then the unexpected data value error is returned to the VLR in the
response. This error should thus be returned if the SS-Code provided by the mobile subscriber is
not allocated.

The HLR shall then process the MAP_REGISTER_PASSWORD indication as specified in GSM 03.11.
During the handling of password registration, the password procedure will be initiated (as specified in
GSM 03.11) This will involve the sending of MAP_GET_PASSWORD requests to the VLR.
- Handling of receipt of MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT or MAP_CLOSE indications from the VLR
is identical to their handling in the registration procedure, see subclause 19.1.4 above.

The password registration procedure in the HLR is shown in figure 19.7.4/1.

19.8 Mobile Initiated USSD procedure
19.8.1 General
The procedure supports supplementary service signalling procedures which can allow PLMN specific
services to be introduced.
The message flow for the procedure can be found in GSM 03.90.
The following services may be used:
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_TRACE_SUBSCRIBER_ACTIVITY (defined in clauses 7 and 21);
MAP_PROVIDE_IMSI (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_AUTHENTICATE (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_SET_CIPHERING_MODE (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_CHECK_IMEI (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_READY_FOR_SM (defined in clauses 10 and 21);
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST (defined in clause 9);
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY (defined in clause 9).

The following service is certainly used:
MAP_PROCESS_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST (defined in clause 9).

19.8.2 Procedures in the MSC
Before the Process Unstructured SS Request service can be invoked, a call independent CM connection
must be created between the MS and the MSC.
Once a CM-connection is established, the MSC may handle the
A_PROCESS_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST from the MS. This message contains information input
by the user, the message may be fed to an application contained locally in the MSC or to the VLR. The
rules for determining this are specified in GSM 03.90.
1) Message Destined for VLR

If the message is destined for the VLR then the MSC shall transfer the message to the VLR using the
mapping specified in detail in GSM 09.11.
The MSC may subsequently receive one or more MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST or
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY indications from the VLR. These shall be sent transparently to the
MS. When a confirmation is received from the MS this shall be returned to the VLR.
When the MSC receives a MAP_PROCESS_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST confirmation from the
VLR then it shall pass this to the MS and initiate release of the CM connection.
Page 547
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

2) Message Destined for Local Application

If the message is destined for the local USSD application then the MSC shall transfer the message to the
application.
The MSC may subsequently receive one or more requests from the application which correspond to the
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST or MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY indications. These
shall be sent transparently to the MS. When a confirmation is received from the MS this shall be returned
to the application.
When the MSC receives the result of the original operation from the application then it shall pass this to
the MS and initiate release of the CM connection.
Error Handling
Both the MS and the VLR or USSD Application may initiate release of the CM-connection at any time.
This is handled as shown in the diagrams.
The procedure in the MSC is shown in figure 19.8.2/1.

19.8.3 Procedures in the VLR
The initiation of the process is shown in subclause 19.0.2.
Once a MAP dialogue is established, the VLR may handle the
MAP_PROCESS_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST from the MSC. This message contains information
input by the user, the message may be fed to an application contained locally in the VLR or to the HLR.
The rules for determining this are specified in GSM 03.90.
Message Destined for HLR
If the message is destined for the HLR then the VLR shall transfer the message transparently to the HLR.
The VLR may subsequently receive one or more MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST or
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY indications from the HLR. These shall be sent transparently to the
MSC. When a confirmation is received from the MSC this shall be returned to the HLR.
When the VLR receives a MAP_PROCESS_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST confirmation from the
HLR then it shall pass this to the MS and close the MAP provider service.
Message Destined for Local Application
If the message is destined for the local USSD application then the VLR shall transfer the message to the
application.
The VLR may subsequently receive one or more requests from the application which correspond to the
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST or MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY indications. These
shall be sent transparently to the MSC. When a confirmation is received from the MSC this shall be
returned to the application.
When the VLR receives the result of the original operation from the application then it shall pass this to
the MSC and initiate release of the CM connection.
Error Handling
Both the MSC and the HLR or USSD Application may initiate release of the MAP service at any time. This
is handled as shown in the diagrams.
The procedure in the VLR is shown in figures 19.8.3/1 and 19.8.3/2.

19.8.4 Procedures in the HLR
The initiation of the process is shown in subclause 19.0.3.
Once a MAP dialogue is established, the HLR may handle the
MAP_PROCESS_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST from the VLR. This message contains information
input by the user. If the alphabet used for the message is understood then the message shall be fed to an
application contained locally in the HLR. If the alphabet is not understood then the error
"UnknownAlphabet" shall be returned.
The HLR may subsequently receive one or more requests from the application which correspond to the
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST or MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY indications. These
shall be sent transparently to the VLR. When a confirmation is received from the VLR this shall be
returned to the application.
When the HLR receives the result of the original operation from the application then it shall pass this to
the VLR and initiate release of the CM connection.
Error Handling
Both the VLR and the USSD Application may initiate release of the MAP service at any time. This is
handled as shown in the diagrams.
The procedure in the HLR is shown in figure 19.8.4/1.

19.9 Network initiated USSD procedure
19.9.1 General
The procedure supports supplementary service signalling procedures which can allow PLMN specific
services to be introduced.
The message flow for the procedure can be found in GSM 03.90.
The following services may be used:
MAP_PAGE (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MOBILE_SUBSCRIBER (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_AUTHENTICATE (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_SET_CIPHERING_MODE (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI (defined in clauses 6 and 21);
MAP_READY_FOR_SM (defined in clauses 10 and 21).

At least one of the following services will certainly be used, and both may be used:
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST (defined in clause 9);
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY (defined in clause 9).

19.9.2 Procedure in the MSC
The procedure may be invoked either by the VLR or by a USSD application local to the MSC. They may
start by using either the MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST or
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY service. If the request is initiated by a local USSD application then
the MSC will open a dialogue with the HLR.
In both cases the MSC will initiate a CM connection to the MS (using the page or search macros defined
in subclause 21.3). Once the connection is successfully established the message received from the VLR
or USSD application will be sent to the MS using the mapping specified in GSM 09.11.
Following transfer of the message the MSC will wait for a confirmation from the MS. This will be sent to
the VLR or USSD application as appropriate.
Following this, the MSC may receive further uses of the MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST or
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY services, or may receive an indication to release the connection to
the MS.
In the event of an error, the connection to the MS shall be released, and the MAP process with the VLR
shall be aborted as shown in the diagram.
The procedure in the MSC is shown in figure 19.9.2/1.

19.9.3 Procedure in the VLR
The procedure may be invoked either by the HLR or by a USSD application local to the VLR. They may
start by using either the MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST or
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY service.
In both cases the VLR will first initiate a MAP dialogue with the MSC. When the indication for the
unstructured SS request or notify is received then the macro Start_USSD_VLR will be used to page the
MS and open a CM connection. Once the CM connection is successfully established the indication
received from the HLR or USSD application will be sent to the MSC.
Following transfer of the message the VLR will wait for a confirmation from the MSC. This will be sent to
the HLR or USSD application as appropriate.
Following this, the VLR may receive further uses of the MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST or
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY services, or may receive a MAP_CLOSE_ind.
In the event of an error, the MAP process with the MSC shall be released, and if necessary the MAP
process with the HLR shall be aborted as shown in the diagram.
The procedure in the VLR is shown in figure 19.9.3/1.
MSC Initiated USSD
If a USSD application in the MSC wishes to use the network initiated USSD procedure, and a connection
to the MS does not exist then it shall open a dialogue to the VLR. This dialogue will automatically lead to
the VLR performing page and search using the macro Start_USSD_VLR.
Macro Start_USSD_VLR
This macro is used to initiate a CM connection with the MS for transfer of network initiated unstructured
SS data.
It first checks for correct data in the VLR. If a problem is found then "Err" is returned.
A page or search procedure (as appropriate) will then be used to contact the MS. Following successful
page or search the macro Process_Access_Request_VLR specified in subclause 21.4 will be used to
handle the CM connection establishment.
The macro is shown in figure 19.9.3/2.

19.9.4 Procedure in the HLR
The procedure may be invoked by the USSD application local to the HLR. It may start by using either the
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST or MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY service.
In both cases the HLR will first check whether the MS is reachable (i.e. there is a VLR identity stored in
the subscriber record, the MS record is not marked as purged and the MS record is not marked "MSC
Area Restricted").
If the MS is reachable, the HLR will initiate a MAP dialogue with the VLR. Once the dialogue is
successfully established the message received from the USSD application will be sent to the MSC.
Following transfer of the message the HLR will wait for a confirmation from the MSC. This will be sent to
the USSD application.
Following this, the HLR may receive further uses of the MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_REQUEST or
MAP_UNSTRUCTURED_SS_NOTIFY services, or may receive a MAP_CLOSE_ind.
In the event of an error, the MAP process with the VLR shall be released as shown in the diagram.
The procedure in the HLR is shown in figure 19.9.4/1.

19.10.2 SS Error handling macros
Macro Receive_errors_MSC
This macro is used by the MSC to receive signals which should lead to failure if received in any state of a
supplementary service process. If the air interface connection is released by the MS, the communication
towards the VLR is aborted, and the MSC should return to a stable "NULL" state. If a MAP_NOTICE
indication is received from the VLR, or the VLR aborts or unexpectedly closes the connection, then the air
interface connection shall be released. The macro is described in figure 19.10.2/1.
Macro Receive_error_from_MSC
This macro is used by the VLR to receive signals from the MSC which should lead to failure if received in
any state of a supplementary service process. If a MAP_NOTICE indication is received from the MSC,
that connection is closed before the only outcome of the macro, "err" is reported back to the calling
process. The macro is described in figure 19.10.2/2.
Macro Receive_error_from_HLR
This macro is used by the VLR to receive signals from the HLR which should lead to failure if received in
any state of a supplementary service process. If a MAP_NOTICE indication is received from the MSC,
that connection is closed. The macro is described in figure 19.10.2/3.

20 Short message service procedures
20.1 General
The short message service procedures are used to control both mobile originated and mobile terminated
short message transfer.
Four procedures exist for short message services:
- mobile originated short message service transfer;

- mobile terminated short message service transfer;

- short message alert procedure;

- short message waiting data set procedure.

The following application context refers to a complex MAP user consisting of several processes:
- shortMessageGatewayContext.

This application context needs a co-ordinating process in the HLR. Additionally a Co-ordinator has to be
defined for the mobile originated situation in the MSC, because the A_CM_SERV_REQ message does
not distinguish between mobile originated short message transfer and the short message alert
procedures.
20.1.1 Mobile originated short message service Co-ordinator for the MSC
The A_CM_SERV_REQ message (GSM 04.08) is received from the A-interface containing the CM
service type. This parameter indicates mobile originated short message service. The service
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST is started.
If the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST service ends successfully, the mobile station initiates
mobile originated short message transfer or alerting indication. Depending on the situation, the
appropriate process is initiated as follows:
- if the A_RP_MO_DATA indication is received, the process MOSM_MSC is initiated (see
subclause 20.2.1);

- if the A_RP_SM_MEMORY_AVAILABLE indication is received, the process SC_Alert_MSC is
initiated (see subclause 20.4.1).

After creation of the user process the Co-ordinator relays the messages between the A-interface and the
invoked process until a request or an indication for dialogue termination is received.
The SMS process Co-ordinator is shown in the figure 20.1/1.

20.1.2 Short message Gateway Co-ordinator for the HLR
The MAP_OPEN indication opens a dialogue for the short message procedure between the gateway
MSC and the HLR when the application context shortMessageGatewayContext is received. If that service
is successful, the Co-ordinator can receive the first service primitive from the MAP_PM. Depending on the
received primitive, the user process is created as follows:
- if the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFO_FOR_SM indication is received, the process
Mobile_Terminated_MS_HLR is created;

- if the MAP_REPORT_SM_DELIVERY_STATUS indication is received, the process
Report_SM_delivery_stat_HLR is created.

After creation of the user process the Co-ordinator relays the messages between the MAP_PM and the
invoked process until a request or an indication for dialogue termination is received.
The SM Gateway Co-ordinator is shown in the figure 20.1/2.

Page 585
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

20.2.1 Procedure in the servicing MSC
The activation of the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST service is described in the
subclause 20.6.2.
When receiving the short message from the A-interface, the MSC sends the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MO_SMS request to the VLR. As a response the MSC will receive the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MO_SMS confirmation from VLR indicating that::
- the service ends successfully. If the MSC is not itself the IWMSC, the short message transmission
towards the IWMSC is initiated using the MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE request;

- the service ends unsuccessfully. The error cause in the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MO_SMS
confirmation indicates the reason for the unsuccessful end. The mapping between MAP error
causes and RP_ERROR causes is described in GSM 09.10.

If there are data errors in the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MO_SMS confirmation, or there is an operation
failure in MAP, the RP_ERROR cause network out of order is forwarded to the mobile station.
If the service MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE is started, the MSC will check whether the grouping
of MAP_OPEN request and MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE request needs segmentation. If this
is the case then the MAP_OPEN request primitive shall be sent first without any associated MAP service
request primitive and the dialogue confirmation must be received before the
MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE request is sent. As a response to the procedure, the servicing
MSC will receive the MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE confirmation from the IWMSC indicating
that::
- the short message has been successfully delivered to the Service Centre. The acknowledgement is
sent to the mobile station;

- one of several error cases has occurred. The mapping between MAP error causes and
RP_ERROR causes is described in GSM 09.10. The appropriate indication is provided to the
mobile station.

If the procedure failed, a provider error or an abort indication is received. The RP_ERROR cause network
out of order is provided to the mobile station.
If the MSC itself is the interworking MSC, the short message is forwarded to the Service Centre. In that
case the service MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE is not initiated. The acknowledge message from
the Service Centre is forwarded to the mobile station (GSM 3.40, GSM 4.11).
The mobile originated short message service procedure is shown in figure 20.2/2.

20.2.2 Procedure in the VLR
The MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST indication starts the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST
service in the VLR. The application context in the MAP_OPEN indication is mobile originated short
message transfer.
If the service MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST is successful, the VLR waits for the next message
from the MSC. When receiving the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MO_SMS indication, the VLR acts as
follows:
- if there is incompatibility in the subscription check, the error teleservice not provisioned is returned
to the MSC;

- if the short message transfer would contravene operator determined barring, the call barred error
with cause operator barring is returned;

- if the short message transfer would contravene the supplementary service call barring conditions in
the VLR, the call barred error with cause barring service active is returned.

When the mobile subscriber has passed all checks, the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MO_SMS response is
initiated and the procedure is terminated in the VLR. The mobile originated short message transfer
procedure in the VLR is shown in figure 20.2/3.

20.2.3 Procedure in the interworking MSC
This procedure applies only when the IWMSC is not the servicing MSC.
When receiving a MAP_OPEN indication primitive that is not associated with any MAP service indication
primitive and if the dialogue is accepted, the MAP service-user in the interworking MSC issues a
MAP_DELIMITER request primitive in order to trigger the local MAP service-provider to confirm the
dialogue. Then a MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE indication shall be received.
When a MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE indication is correctly received, the Interworking MSC
invokes forwarding of the short message to the Service Centre. If invalid data content is detected, an
unexpected data value error or a data missing error is returned to the servicing MSC.
The outcome of the procedure with the Service Centre is awaited before a
MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE response is given back to the servicing MSC:
- if a short message is accepted by the Service Centre, an acknowledgement is sent back to the
servicing MSC;

- if the Service Centre is not identified, the SM Delivery Failure error is returned to the servicing
MSC;

- if the Service Centre returns an error indication, the SM Delivery Failure error is returned to the
servicing MSC with the error cause and any diagnostic information received from the Service
Centre;

- if the short message cannot be forwarded to the Service Centre or the procedure towards the
Service Centre fails for some reason, a system failure error is sent to the servicing MSC.

The mobile originated short message service transfer in the IWMSC is shown in figure 20.2/4.

In the multiple short message transfer the service MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE can be used
several times. However, the short message transfer is always acknowledged to the Service Centre before
the next short message is sent.
Page 595
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

In addition the following MAP services are used:
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST (see subclause 6.3);
MAP_PAGE (see subclause 6.2);
MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS (see subclause 6.2);
MAP_AUTHENTICATE (see subclause 6.5);
MAP_SET_CIPHERING_MODE (see subclause 6.6);
MAP_CHECK_IMEI (see subclause 6.7);
MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI (see subclause 6.9);
MAP_REPORT_SM_DELIVERY_STATUS (see subclause 10.3);
MAP_INFORM_SERVICE_CENTRE (see subclause 10.6);
MAP_TRACE_SUBSCRIBER_ACTIVITY (see subclause 7.1);
MAP_READY_FOR_SM (see subclause 10.4).

20.3.1 Procedure in the Servicing MSC
When initiating the dialogue with the servicing MSC, the SMS Gateway MSC must provide the IMSI of the
subscriber to whom the short message is directed.
The IMSI can be included either in the Destination Reference of the MAP_OPEN indication received from
the SMS Gateway MSC or in the sm-RP-DA information field of the
MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE indication.
When receiving a MAP_OPEN indication primitive that is not associated with any MAP service indication
primitive and if the dialogue is accepted, the MAP service-user in the servicing MSC issues a
MAP_DELIMITER request primitive in order to trigger the local MAP service-provider to confirm the
dialogue.
When receiving the first MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE indication from the gateway MSC, the
servicing MSC sends the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MT_SMS request primitive to the VLR, if the MAP
service primitive is accepted and if short message service is supported in the servicing MSC.
The MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE indication primitive is checked by the macro
"Check_Indication". If the received MAP service primitive contains errors, the service is aborted and an
unexpected data value error or data missing error is returned to the GMSC.
If the MSC does not support the short message service, the service is aborted in the servicing MSC and
the error "Facility Not Supported" is returned to the GMSC.
The subscriber identity information that may be included in the MAP_OPEN indication primitive and in the
MAP service indication primitive is checked by the macro "Check_Subscr_Identity_For_MT_SMS" as
follows.
If a Destination Reference has been received in the MAP_OPEN indication, an LMSI must be present in
the sm-RP-DA information field of the MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE indication. The LMSI shall
be included in the sm-RP-DA information field of the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MT_SMS request sent to
the VLR; the associated MAP_OPEN request must contain a Destination Reference that carries an IMSI.
Otherwise, if the IMSI is included in the sm-RP-DA information field of the
MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE indication, it is mapped into the sm-RP-DA information field of the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MT_SMS request that is sent to the VLR. In this case, the IMSI is not
accompanied by an LMSI and neither the MAP_OPEN indication received from the gateway MSC nor the
MAP_OPEN request sent to the VLR shall include a Destination Reference.
If a Destination Reference has been received in the servicing MSC and the sm-RP-DA information field of
the MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE indication does not include an LMSI or if no Destination
Reference has been received and the sm-RP-DA information field does not cover an IMSI the service is
aborted in the servicing MSC and the error "Unexpected Data Value" is returned to the SMS GMSC.
Page 596
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

The following responses to the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MT_SMS request may be received from the
VLR:
- absent subscriber, unidentified subscriber or system failure error. The error code is forwarded to
the GMSC;

- unknown subscriber error. The system failure indication is provided to the GMSC;

- data missing or unexpected data value error. The system failure indication is provided to the
GMSC;

- a provider error or an abort indication. The system failure indication is provided to the GMSC;

- paging procedure invocation (see subclause 21.3) reporting the successful outcome of the
procedure;

- search procedure invocation (see subclause 21.3) reporting the successful outcome of the
procedure.

The result of the paging or the search procedure is processed as follows:
- if the procedure is completed successfully, the MSC will send the
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST request to the VLR (see subclause 21.4);

- if the procedure is completed successfully, but the mobile station has no mobile terminated short
message transfer capability, the procedure is terminated and SM delivery failure indication with
cause "equipment not SM equipped" is provided to the GMSC;

- if the procedure ends unsuccessfully, the termination of the procedure is awaited from the VLR.
The absent subscriber error is forwarded to the GMSC, but the other error causes are reported as
a system failure indication.

If the short message transfer is aborted for any reason, the dialogue with the VLR is aborted. If the
procedure with the VLR is aborted by the VLR or by the provider, a system failure indication is provided to
the GMSC.
The unsuccessful outcome of the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST service is reported by using the
system failure error to the GMSC.
When the service MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST is carried out, the MSC will receive the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MT_SMS confirmation indicating:
- the unsuccessful outcome of the procedure. The error indication received from the VLR is
forwarded to the GMSC;

- the successful outcome of the procedure. The MSC initiates forwarding of the short message to the
mobile station.

If the primitive itself is badly formatted or data is missing, the system failure error is sent to the GMSC.
If forwarding of the short message is initiated, the MSC awaits the result before one of the following
responses is sent back to the GMSC:
- an acknowledge if the short message has been successfully delivered to the mobile subscriber;

- an SM delivery failure error containing a parameter indicating either of the following: there is a
mobile station protocol error or the mobile station memory capacity is exceeded; detailed
diagnostic information (see subclause 5.6.1.4) may also be carried;

- a system failure error if the delivery procedure is aborted.
Page 597
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

If the More Messages To Send flag was FALSE or the service MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE
ends unsuccessfully, the transaction to the gateway MSC is terminated. Otherwise, the servicing MSC
waits for the next short message from the Service Centre.
When receiving the next MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE indication from the gateway MSC the
servicing MSC will act as follows:
- if the received primitive contains errors, the unexpected data value error or data missing error is
provided to the gateway MSC;

- if the More Messages To Send flag is FALSE, the servicing MSC will start the short message
transfer procedure to the mobile subscriber. The successful or unsuccessful outcome of this
procedure is reported to the gateway MSC and the transaction is terminated.

- if the More Messages To Send flag is TRUE, the servicing MSC will start the short message
transfer to the mobile subscriber. If the outcome of this procedure is unsuccessful, the reason is
reported to the gateway MSC and the procedure is terminated. If the procedure is successful, it is
acknowledged to the gateway MSC and more short messages can be received.

The tracing procedure may be activated. It is described in detail in clause 17.
The mobile terminated short message transfer procedure in the servicing MSC is shown in figures 20.3/3
and 20.3/4. The page and search procedures are shown in figure 21.3/1.

20.3.2 Procedures in the VLR
When receiving the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MT_SMS indication, the VLR will act as follows:
- the parameters and data in the primitive are checked by the macro "Check_Indication". A data
failure is reported as an unexpected data value error or a data missing error depending on the
nature of the failure;

- for mobile terminated short message the mobile subscriber is identified either by the IMSI only or
by the IMSI accompanied by the LMSI. The subscriber identity information that may be included in
the MAP_OPEN indication primitive and in the MAP service indication primitive is checked by the
macro "Check_Subscr_Identity_For_MT_SMS". In the first case, the IMSI is included in the sm-RP-
DA information field and the Destination Reference must not be present in the MAP_OPEN
primitive. In the latter case the IMSI must be obtained from the Destination Reference of the
MAP_OPEN indication primitive and an LMSI must be present in the sm-RP-DA information field of
the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MT_SMS indication. If the mobile subscriber is unknown, the
unidentified subscriber error is returned;

- if the "Confirmed by HLR" indicator is set to "Not Confirmed", the unidentified subscriber error is
returned;

- if the IMSI Detached Flag is set to detached or the LA Not Allowed Flag is set to not allowed in the
VLR, an absent subscriber error is returned and the mobile station not reachable flag (MNRF) is
set;

- if the MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MT_SMS indication has passed all the tests, the VLR will initiate
the paging procedure. If the location area identification is known and the "Confirmed by Radio
Contact" indicator is set to "Confirmed", the MAP_PAGE service is used. Otherwise the
MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MOBILE_SUBSCRIBER service is started.

The following responses to the paging procedure may be received from the MSC:
- the MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MOBILE_SUBSCRIBER confirmation indicating a successful outcome, if
the search procedure is used. After that the VLR awaits the
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST indication from the MSC;

- the MAP_PAGE confirmation or MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MOBILE_SUBSCRIBER confirmation
indicating unsuccessful outcome. If an absent subscriber error is received, the mobile station not
reachable flag (MNRF) is set in the VLR. The errors are forwarded to the MSC in the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MT_SMS response. If the unexpected data value, busy subscriber or
unknown location area error is received, the system failure indication is given to the MSC;

- the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST indication telling that the outcome of the service
MAP_PAGE is successful.

If the paging procedure or process access request procedure or any other procedure invoked fails, the
appropriate error is reported to the MSC.
If the process access request procedure is successful, the VLR will send the
MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_MT_SMS response to the MSC and the transaction is terminated in the VLR.
The mobile terminated short message transfer procedure in the VLR is shown in figure 20.3/5.

20.3.3 Procedures in the HLR
The MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFO_FOR_SM indication is received from the GMSC. The following error
cases are reported to the GMSC in the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFO_FOR_SM response as an
unsuccessful outcome of the procedure:
- if the necessary parameters and data are not present in the primitive or they are badly formatted,
the data missing or unexpected data value error is returned;

- if the mobile subscriber is unknown, i.e. it cannot be identified from the MSISDN given, an unknown
subscriber error is returned;

- if the short message transfer would contravene operator determined barring, the call barred error
with cause operator barring is returned;

- if the short message transfer would contravene the supplementary service barring, the call barred
error with cause barring service active is returned;

- if the mobile subscription identified by the given MSISDN number does not include the short
message service, the teleservice not provisioned error is returned;

- if the location registration of the mobile subscriber shows that the visited PLMN does not support
the MT short message service, the facility not supported error is returned;

- if no MSC identity is stored for the mobile subscriber or the "MSC Area Restricted Flag" is set or
the "MS purged" flag is set, i.e. the MS is not reachable, the MSISDN-Alert and the SC address are
included in the MWD (if possible) and the "Absent Subscriber" error is returned.

The priority parameter (SM_RP_PRI) is processed as follows:
- if the priority is low (SM_RP_PRI = False) and the mobile station not reachable flag (MNRF) is set,
an absent subscriber error is returned. The SC-address given in the request will be included in the
MWD if possible. The service MAP_INFORM_SERVICE_CENTRE including the parameter MW
Status is invoked to indicate whether or not the SC address has been included in the MWD list.

- if the priority is low (SM_RP_PRI = False), and the MNRF is clear, the routing information is
retrieved as described below;

- if the priority is high (SM_RP_PRI = True) and the MNRF is set, the HLR will send the
acknowledge primitive containing the routing information to the gateway MSC. In addition the
service MAP_INFORM_SERVICE_CENTRE including the parameter MW Status is invoked to
indicate whether or not the SC address is already included in the MWD list.

If the MSISDN-Alert number of the mobile subscriber stored in the MWD is not the same as that received
in the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFO_FOR_SM indication, the HLR will include in the
MAP_INFORM_SERVICE_CENTRE request to the GMSC the MSISDN-Alert number stored.
The MAP_INFORM_SERVICE_CENTRE request is sent also when the MCEF and/or MNRF are set but
the routing information is still sent to the GMSC. The status of the flags is indicated in the parameter MW
Status.
The routing information is included in a MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFO_FOR_SM response as follows:
- the IMSI will be returned to the GMSC together with the MSC number and may be optionally
accompanied by the LMSI.

The mobile terminated short message transfer procedure in the HLR is shown in figure 20.3/6.

20.3.4 Procedures in the gateway MSC
The short message handling function of the GMSC will request routing information when a mobile
terminated short message is received from a Service Centre. The GMSC sends the
MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFO_FOR_SM request to the HLR containing the subscriber data of the mobile
subscriber.
As an outcome of the procedure the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFO_FOR_SM confirmation is received
indicating:
- an unsuccessful event indication containing an error;
The mapping between the MAP error causes and the RP_ERROR causes is explained in
GSM 03.40.

- a successful event indication containing following parameters:
- an IMSI optionally accompanied by an LMSI; and
- a routing address (a servicing MSC address).

The GMSC may also receive a MAP_INFORM_SERVICE_CENTRE indication after the
MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFO_FOR_SM confirmation. The parameter MW Status in the message
indicates whether or not the Service Centre address is stored in the Message Waiting Data. It also
indicates the status of the MCEF and MNRF flags in the HLR.
If the MSISDN-Alert stored in the MWD data is not the same as the one sent to the HLR, the
MSISDN-Alert is received in the MAP_INFORM_SERVICE_CENTRE indication. This MSISDN number
shall be transferred in a delivery failure report to the SC.
In the abnormal end or in the provider error case the system failure error is provided to the SC.
The forward short message procedure is initiated when the GMSC has obtained the routing information
needed to forward a mobile terminated short message to the servicing MSC. If an LMSI has been
provided in the MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFO_FOR_SM confirmation, it can be included in the
sm-RP-DA information field of the first MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE request sent to the
servicing MSC. In this case, the IMSI must be included in the Destination Reference of the MAP_OPEN
request. If the LMSI is not sent by the SMS Gateway MSC, the sm-RP-DA information field in the first
MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE request sent to the servicing MSC shall contain the IMSI and the
Destination Reference in the MAP_OPEN request shall not be present. The Service Centre address is
sent in the parameter SM_RP_OA. The More Messages To Send flag is set to TRUE or FALSE
depending on the information received from the Service Centre.
If the GMSC is the servicing MSC then the MAP service is not initiated. The procedure in the Servicing
MSC is described in subclause 20.3.1 and in the figure 20.3/4.
If the grouping of MAP_OPEN request and MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE request together
would need segmenting, these primitives must not be grouped together. The MAP_OPEN request
primitive is sent first without any associated MAP service request primitive and the dialogue confirmation
must be received before the MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE request is sent.
As a response to the procedure, the GMSC will receive the MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE
confirmation indicating:
- a successful forwarding of the short message. This indication is passed to the SC;

- unsuccessful forwarding of the short message. The mapping of the MAP error causes to the
RP_ERROR causes is explained in GSM 09.10 and GSM 04.11. The appropriate error indication is
sent to the SC.

A provider error is indicated as a system failure error to the SC.
Page 613
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

The GMSC invokes the procedure MAP_REPORT_SM_DELIVERY_STATUS, if an absent subscriber, an
unidentified subscriber or SM delivery failure with error cause MS memory capacity exceeded indication
is received from the servicing MSC, and the corresponding flags received in the MAP_INFORM_SC are
not already set or the SC address is not yet included in the MWD set. The gateway MSC may also invoke
the procedure when the transfer was successful, if the MNRF and/or MCEF flags were set in the HLR.
This procedure is described in detail in subclause 20.5.
Unexpected data value, system failure and unidentified subscriber errors are indicated as a system failure
to the SC. Other errors are indicated using appropriate cause values and diagnostic information between
the GMSC and the SC as described in GSM 03.40 and GSM 04.11.
If there are more short messages to send in the Service Centre and the previous short message transfer
succeeded, then the gateway MSC awaits the next short message.
When receiving the next short message from the SC, the gateway MSC sets the More Messages To
Send flag according to the information received and starts the service
MAP_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE again.
If the gateway MSC is the servicing MSC, then the short message transfer to mobile subscriber is started
as described in the subclause 20.3.1.
The mobile terminated short message transfer procedure in the gateway MSC is shown in figure 20.3/7.

20.4 The Short Message Alert procedure
The Short Message Alert procedure is used for alerting the Service Centre when the mobile subscriber is
active after a short message transfer has failed because the mobile subscriber is not reachable or when
the mobile station has indicated that it has memory capacity to accept a short message.
The Short Message Alert procedure for the case when the mobile subscriber was not reachable is shown
in figure 20.4/1.

20.4.1 Procedures in the Servicing MSC
The activation of the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST service is described in the
subclause 20.6.2.
After receiving the SM memory capacity available indication, the servicing MSC sends the
MAP_READY_FOR_SM request to the VLR indicating memory available. The outcome of that procedure
is one of the following:
- successful acknowledgement. The MSC sends the corresponding message to the mobile station;

- negative acknowledgement, where the error causes are treated as follows:
- unexpected data value, data missing and system failure errors are reported as network out
of order error to the mobile station;

- facility not supported is reported as requested facility not implemented error to the mobile
station;

- procedure failure, which is reported as network out of order error to the mobile station if a
connection to the MS still exists.

The short message alert procedure in the MSC for the MS memory capacity available case is shown in
figure 20.4/4.

20.4.2 Procedures in the VLR
20.4.2.1 The Mobile Subscriber is present
When receiving the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST indication,
MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_AREA indication while the mobile station not reachable flag (MNRF) is set,
the VLR will send the MAP_READY_FOR_SM request towards the HLR. The Alert Reason is set to
indicate that the mobile subscriber is present. If the authentication procedure is initiated and it fails, the
VLR will not initiate the service. The process in VLR is described in detail in the subclause 21.10.
20.4.2.2 The Mobile Equipment has memory available
The MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST indication starts the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST
service in the VLR. The application context in the MAP_OPEN indication refers to the short message
alerting procedure.
If the service MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST is successful, the VLR waits for the next message
from the MSC. When receiving the MAP_READY_FOR_SM indication from the MSC, the VLR will check
the contents. Data errors are reported to the MSC as an unexpected data value or data missing error,
depending on the error. If the primitive passes the data check, the VLR forwards it to the HLR and awaits
an acknowledgement.
When receiving the MAP_READY_FOR_SM confirmation from the HLR and the Alert Reason is MS
memory available, the VLR will act as follows:
- the MAP_READY_FOR_SM response is sent to the MSC as follows:
- an acknowledge in the positive case;

- system failure error, if unexpected data value, data missing, or unknown subscriber errors
are received, otherwise the error cause received from the HLR;

- a facility not supported error, if the HLR supports MAP V1 only;

- procedure failure is reported as a system failure error.

The short message alert procedure in the VLR is shown in figure 20.4/5.

20.4.3 Procedures in the HLR
When receiving the MAP_READY_FOR_SM indication, the HLR will check the contents. Data errors are
reported to the VLR as an unexpected data value or a data missing error depending on the error. If the
HLR does not support the MNRF, MCEF, and MWD a facility not supported error is reported to the VLR. If
the IMSI is unknown an unknown subscriber error is reported to the VLR. Otherwise an acknowledgement
is returned to the VLR.
If neither the mobile station not reachable flag (MNRF) or the memory capacity exceeded flag (MCEF) is
set, the HLR sets a timer and waits for it to expire. This ensures that in the race situation the
MAP_REPORT_SM_DELIVERY_STATUS service (as described in the subclause 20.6) for the same
subscriber can be carried out when delayed in the GMSC.
If the Alert Reason indicates the mobile present situation, or when the update location procedure has
been successfully completed or Supplementary Service Control request is received, the mobile station
not reachable flag is cleared and the service centre alert procedure is initiated. If the memory capacity
exceeded flag is set, the mobile station not reachable flag is cleared but the alert procedure is not started.
If the Alert Reason indicates the memory available situation, the HLR initiates the alert procedure. The
mobile station not reachable and memory capacity available flags are cleared.
If the MAP_REPORT_SM_DELIVERY_STATUS indication is received and it indicates the successful
transfer of the mobile terminated short message, the HLR initiates the alert procedure described in the
subclause 21.10 and clears MCEF and MNRF flags.
The short message alert procedure in the HLR is shown in figures 20.4/6 and 21.10/2.

20.4.4 Procedures in the Interworking MSC
When a MAP_ALERT_SERVICE_CENTRE indication is correctly received by the IWMSC, the IWMSC
will forward the alerting to the given Service Centre if possible.
Data errors are reported to the HLR as an unexpected data value or a data missing error depending on
the error.
The short message alert procedure is shown in figure 20.4/7.

20.5 The SM delivery status report procedure
The SM delivery status report procedure is used to set the Service Centre address into the message
waiting list in the HLR because the subscriber is absent or unidentified or the memory capacity is
exceeded. The procedure sets the memory capacity exceeded flag in the HLR if the MS memory does not
have room for more messages or the mobile station not reachable flag in the case of unidentified or
absent subscriber.
Additionally the procedure is used to report the HLR about the successful transfer after the Service
Centre has polled the subscriber. This procedure is described also in the subclause 20.4.
The SM delivery status report procedure is shown in figure 20.5/1.

20.5.2 Procedures in the gateway MSC
The GMSC invokes the short message delivery status report procedure if an absent subscriber indication
or unidentified subscriber indication or SM delivery failure error indicating MS memory capacity exceeded
is received from the servicing MSC during a mobile terminated short message transfer, and the HLR has
not indicated that the SC address is included in the MWD. The unidentified subscriber indication is
however processed as the absent subscriber indication.
The service is invoked also when the HLR has indicated that either of the flags MCEF or MNRF is set and
the SM delivery was successful.
The reason for unsuccessful or successful delivery of the short message is included in the SM Delivery
Outcome in the MAP_REPORT_SM_DELIVERY_STATUS request.
The GMSC sends the MAP_REPORT_SM_DELIVERY_STATUS request to the HLR. As a response the
GMSC will receive the MAP_REPORT_SM_DELIVERY_STATUS confirmation reporting:
- successful outcome of the procedure. The acknowledge primitive may contain the MSISDN-Alert
number which is stored in the MWD List in the HLR;

- unsuccessful outcome of the procedure. The system failure indication is forwarded to the SC.

A provider error is indicated as a system failure to the SC.
The procedure towards the Service Centre may also be aborted. If so the operation towards the HLR is
also aborted.
The short message delivery status report procedure in the GMSC is shown in figure 20.5/3.

20.6 Common procedures for the short message clause
20.6.1 The macro Report_SM_Delivery_Stat_HLR
This macro is used when the HLR receives a MAP_REPORT_SM_DELIVERY_STATUS indication from
the GMSC. The HLR responses to the indication as follows:
- if invalid data content is detected, an unexpected data value error or a data missing error is
returned to the GMSC;

- if the MSISDN number provided is not recognized by the HLR, an unknown subscriber error is
returned to the GMSC;

- if the MAP_REPORT_SM_DELIVERY_STATUS indication reports a successful SM delivery, the
Service Centres in the Message Waiting list are alerted as described in the subclause 21.10;

- if the SM Delivery Outcome reports unsuccessful delivery and the inclusion of the SC address in
the MWD is not possible, a message waiting list full error is returned to the GMSC;

- if the SM Delivery Outcome reports unsuccessful delivery and the message waiting list is not full,
the given Service Centre address is inserted and an acknowledgement is sent to the GMSC. If the
MSISDN-Alert stored in the subscriber data is not the same as that received in the
MAP_REPORT_SM_DELIVERY_STATUS indication, the MSISDN-Alert is sent in a response
primitive to the GMSC;

- if the SM Delivery Outcome is MS memory capacity exceeded the HLR sets the memory capacity
exceeded flag in the subscriber data and resets the MRNF;

- if the SM Delivery Outcome is absent subscriber the HLR sets the mobile station not reachable flag
in the subscriber data.

The short message delivery status report macro in the HLR is shown in figure 20.6/1.

21 General macro description
21.1 MAP open macros
21.1.1 Macro Receive_Open_Ind
This macro is used by a MAP service-user procedure when a peer entity requests opening of a dialogue.
If the application context received in the MAP-OPEN indication primitive indicates a context name of the
MAP version one context set, the macro terminates respectively.
If an application-context different from version 1 is received, the presence of MAP_OPEN information is
checked. If no MAP_OPEN information has been received, the MAP_OPEN response with:
- Result set to Dialogue Accepted; and

- Application Context Name set to the received value,

is returned and the macro terminates successfully.
If MAP_OPEN information is received, the macro "CHECK_REFERENCE" is called in order to check
whether the received values for Destination Reference and Originating Reference correspond with the
requirements of the received application-context-name. The outcome of this check is an error, the
MAP_OPEN response with:
- Result set to Dialogue Refused;

- Refuse Reason set to Invalid Destination Reference or Invalid Originating Reference;

- Application Context Name set to the highest version supported,

is returned and the macro terminates with unsuccessful outcome.
If the data values received for Destination Reference and Originating Reference are accepted for the
associated application-context-name it is checked whether the Destination Reference is known if this
check is required by the process that calls the macro.
If the Destination Reference (e.g. a subscribers IMSI) is unknown, the MAP_OPEN response with:
- Result set to Dialogue Refused;

- Refuse Reason set to Invalid Destination Reference;

- Application Context Name set to the highest version supported;

is returned and the macro terminates with unsuccessful outcome.
Else, if the Destination Reference is accepted or if no check is required, the MAP_OPEN response with:
- Result set to Dialogue Accepted; and

- Application Context Name set to the received value;

is returned and the macro terminates successfully.
Page 637
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

21.1.2 Macro Receive_Open_Confirmation
This macro is used by a user procedures after it requested opening of a dialogue towards a peer entity.
On receipt of a MAP_OPEN Confirmation with a "Result" parameter indicating "Dialogue Accepted", the
macro terminates successfully.
If the "Result" parameter indicates "Dialogue Refused", the "Refuse-reason" parameter is examined. If the
"Refuse-reason" parameter indicates "Potential Version Incompatibility", the macro terminates in a way
that causes restart of the dialogue by using the version 1 protocol.
If the "Refuse-reason" parameter indicates "Application Context Not Supported" and if the received
Application Context Name indicates "Version 1", the macro terminates in a way that causes restart of the
dialogue by using the version 1 protocol. If the received Application Context Name does not indicate
"Version 1", the dialogue is terminated with unsuccessful outcome.
If the "Refuse-reason" parameter indicates neither "Potential Version Incompatibility" nor "Application
Context Not Supported", the dialogue is terminated with unsuccessful outcome.
If a MAP_U_ABORT, a MAP_P_ABORT or a MAP_NOTICE Indication is received, the dialogue is
terminated with unsuccessful outcome.

21.2 Macros to check the content of indication and confirmation primitives
21.2.1 Macro Check_Indication
If a parameter required by the application is missing from the indication, the macro takes the error exit,
with a user error of "Data Missing".
If a parameter not expected by the application is present in the indication, or an expected parameter has
a value not in the set of values permitted by the application, the macro takes the error exit, with a user
error of "Unexpected Data Value".
Otherwise the macro takes the "OK" exit.
The macro is shown in figure 21.2/1.
21.2.2 Macro Check_Confirmation
If the confirmation contains a provider error the macro issues a MAP CLOSE request and takes the
provider error exit.
Otherwise, if the confirmation contains a user error the macro takes the user error exit.
Otherwise, if a parameter required by the application is missing from the confirmation, or a parameter not
expected by the application is present in the confirmation, or an expected parameter has a value not in
the set of values permitted by the application, the macro takes the data error exit.
Otherwise the macro takes the "OK" exit.
The macro is shown in figure 21.2/2.

21.3 The page and search macros
21.3.1 Macro PAGE_MSC
This macro (see figure 21.3/1) is called if a mobile terminating call set-up, an unstructured SS notification,
a network-initiated unstructured SS request or a mobile terminating short message is to be delivered to
the MS and the current location area identity of the MS is known in the VLR.
When the MSC receives a MAP_PAGE indication, parameter checks are performed first (macro
Check_Indication, see subclause 21.2). If parameter errors are detected, the MSC returns a MAP_PAGE
response containing the appropriate error cause and the macro terminates with unsuccessful outcome.
Thereafter, several checks on the indication content are performed. The macro terminates by returning
the MAP_PAGE response with error:
Unknown Location Area if the LAI is not known in the MSC;

System Failure if the call has been released by the calling subscriber or the SMS or SS transaction
for this subscriber has been released by the originating entity in the meantime.

Next, the MSC checks if an MM-connection over the radio link already exists for the given IMSI. If so:
- in the case of mobile terminating call set-up the MSC determines whether the busy condition can
be established (see GSM 02.01 for a definition of busy states). If the MSC determines that the MS
is busy, it returns a MAP_PAGE response with error Busy Subscriber, qualified by either More
Calls Allowed or No More Calls Allowed. The macro then terminates with unsuccessful outcome.

- if the service requested is short message service or an unstructured SS notification or network-
initiated unstructured SS request, or if the service is mobile terminating call set-up, but the existing
connection is for signalling purposes only (i.e. a service different from call set-up), the access
connection status is set according to the characteristics of the existing connection (i.e.
RR-connection established, ciphering mode on/off, MM-connection existing and authenticated or
not), and the macro terminates with successful outcome.

If no MM-connection for the given IMSI exists, paging is initiated at the radio interface within all cells of
the location area indicated by the VLR. If the VLR provided the TMSI, the MSC uses it to identify the MS
at the radio interface; otherwise the MSC uses the IMSI. The IMSI will also be used to determine the page
group (see GSM 04.08). There are several possible outcomes of paging:
- the MS responds to paging, causing the access connection status to be set accordingly (i.e. no
RR-connection, in which case other values are not significant), and the macro terminates with
successful outcome;

- the MS responds with a channel request containing an establishment cause which is not "answer
to paging". The MSC sends a MAP_PAGE response primitive with user error Busy Subscriber
before the macro terminates with unsuccessful outcome. This will give priority to the mobile
originating request. Alternatively, as an implementation option, the MSC may treat this as a
response to paging, which will give priority to the mobile terminating request;

- there is no response from the MS. The MSC sends a MAP_PAGE response primitive with user
error Absent Subscriber before the macro terminates with unsuccessful outcome;

- the call handling connection or MAP transaction on which the call, SMS or unstructured SS
transaction is waiting for delivery, is released before a response is received from the MS (indicated
in the SDL by the input signal I-REL). The MAP transaction with the VLR will be released in this
case by a MAP_U_ABORT request, and the unsuccessful macro termination will indicate
transaction termination;

Page 645
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

- the MAP transaction with the VLR may be released by receiving a MAP_U_ABORT or
MAP_P_ABORT indication. The call handling connection or MAP transaction on which the call,
SMS or unstructured SS transaction is waiting for delivery, is released (indicated in the SDL by the
output signal I-REL), and the unsuccessful macro termination will indicate transaction termination.

21.3.2 Macro Search_For_MS_MSC
This macro (see figure 21.3/2) is called if a mobile terminating call set-up, an unstructured SS notification,
a network-initiated unstructured SS request or a mobile terminating short message is to be delivered to
the MS and the current location area identity of the MS is not known in VLR.
When the MSC receives a MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS Indication, parameter checks are performed first
(macro Check_indication, see subclause 21.2). If parameter errors are detected, the MSC returns a
MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS response containing the appropriate error cause and the macro terminates
with unsuccessful outcome.
Thereafter, the MSC checks whether the call or the SMS or SS transaction still exists in the MSC. If the
call or the SMS or SS transaction has been released, the MSC returns a MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS
response with error System Failure and the macro terminates with unsuccessful outcome.
Next, the MSC checks if an MM-connection over the radio link already exists for the given IMSI. If so:
- in the case of mobile terminating call set-up the MSC determines whether the busy condition can
be established (see GSM 02.01 for a definition of busy states). If the MSC determines that the MS
is busy, it returns a MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS response with error Busy Subscriber, qualified by
either More Calls Allowed or No More Calls Allowed. The macro then terminates with unsuccessful
outcome;

- if the service requested is short message service or an unstructured SS notification or
network-initiated unstructured SS request, or if the service is mobile terminating call set-up, but the
existing connection is for signalling purposes only (i.e. a service different from call set-up), a
MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS response containing the IMSI and current location area identification of
the called MS is returned to the VLR. The access connection status is set according to the
characteristics of the existing connection (i.e. RR-connection established, ciphering mode on/off,
MM-connection existing and authenticated or not), and the macro terminates with successful
outcome.

If no MM-connection for the given IMSI exists, paging is initiated at the radio interface within all cells of all
location areas of the VLR, using the IMSI to identify the subscriber and the page group (see GSM 04.08).
There are several possible outcomes of paging:
- the MS responds to paging, causing a MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS response containing the IMSI and
current location area identification of the called MS to be returned to the VLR. The access
connection status will be set accordingly (i.e. no RR-connection, in which case other values are not
significant), and the macro terminates with successful outcome;

- the MS responds with a channel request containing an establishment cause which is not "answer
to paging". The MSC sends a MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS response primitive with user error "Busy
Subscriber" before the macro terminates with unsuccessful outcome. This will give priority to the
mobile originating request. Alternatively, as an implementation option, the MSC may treat this as a
response to paging, which will give priority to the mobile terminating request;

- there is no response from the MS. The MSC sends a MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MS response primitive
with user error "Absent Subscriber" before the macro terminates with unsuccessful outcome;

Page 646
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

- the call handling connection or MAP transaction on which the call, SMS or unstructured SS
transaction is waiting for delivery, is released before a response is received from the MS (indicated
in the SDL by the input signal I-REL). The MAP transaction with the VLR will be released in this
case by a MAP_U_ABORT request, and the unsuccessful macro termination will indicate
transaction termination;

- the MAP transaction with the VLR may be released by receiving a MAP_U_ABORT or
MAP_P_ABORT indication. The call handling connection or MAP transaction on which the call,
SMS or unstructured SS transaction is waiting for delivery, is released (indicated in the SDL by the
output signal I-REL), and the unsuccessful macro termination will indicate transaction termination.

21.4 Macros for handling an Access Request
These macros are invoked when a mobile station accesses the network, e.g. to set up an outgoing call or
when responding to paging. The macro handles identification and authentication of the mobile subscriber
as well as invocation of security related features (see GSM 02.09).
21.4.1 Macro Process_Access_Request_MSC
This macro is invoked by any procedure receiving an access request from the mobile station, e.g. the
page response at mobile terminating call set-up or the request for outgoing call set-up.
If no dialogue with the VLR exists (e.g. within the procedure for outgoing call set-up), the MSC will open a
dialogue towards the VLR by sending a MAP_OPEN request without any user specific parameters.
In any case, the parameters received from the MS are mapped to a
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST request primitive, containing:
- the received subscriber identification (IMSI, TMSI) or - in case of emergency call set-up - an
IMEI;

- the CM service type, indicating the type of request;

- the status of the access connection, i.e. whether a connection to this MS already exists and
if so, whether it is already authenticated and ciphered;

- the current location area id of the mobile station; and

- the CKSN received from the mobile station.

If opening of the dialogue was required, the MSC will wait for the dialogue confirmation (see macro
Receive_Open_Confirmation, subclause 21.1), leading either to:
- immediate unsuccessful exit from the macro, in case no dialogue is possible;

- reversion to MAP version one dialogue if indicated by the VLR. The macro terminates with
unsuccessful outcome, as the complete dialogue will be covered by the version one
procedure, so that no further action from the calling process is required;

- continuation as given below, if the dialogue is accepted by the VLR.

The MSC waits then for the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST confirmation. In between, several
other indications may be received from the VLR:
- the MSC may receive a MAP_PROVIDE_IMSI indication, handled by the macro Obtain_IMSI_MSC
defined in subclause 21.8. In case of positive outcome, the procedure continues waiting for the
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST confirmation, else the macro terminates with unsuccessful
outcome;

- the MSC may receive a MAP_AUTHENTICATE indication, handled by the macro
Authenticate_MSC defined in subclause 21.5. In case of positive outcome, the procedure continues
waiting for the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST confirmation, else the macro terminates
with unsuccessful outcome;

- the MSC may receive a MAP_TRACE_SUBSCRIBER_ACTIVITY indication, handled by the macro
Trace_Subscriber_Activity_MSC defined in subclause 21.9;

Page 650
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

- the MSC may receive a MAP_SET_CIPHERING_MODE indication, which will be stored for
initiating ciphering later on;

- the MSC may receive a MAP_CHECK_IMEI indication, handled by the macro Check_IMEI_MSC
defined in subclause 21.6. In case of positive outcome, the procedure continues waiting for the
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST confirmation, else the macro terminates with unsuccessful
outcome;

- the MSC may receive a MAP_Obtain_IMEI indication, handled by the macro Obtain_IMEI_MSC
defined in subclause 21.6. In case of positive outcome, the procedure continues waiting for the
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST confirmation, else the macro terminates with unsuccessful
outcome;

- the MSC may receive a MAP_U_ABORT or MAP_P_ABORT indication, or a premature
MAP_CLOSE indication from the VLR. In all these cases, the macro terminates with unsuccessful
outcome, after sending the appropriate reject towards the MS (see GSM 09.10);

- the MSC may receive a MAP_NOTICE indication from the VLR. In this case, the dialogue towards
the VLR is terminated by a MAP_CLOSE primitive, the appropriate reject is sent towards the MS
(see GSM 09.10), and the macro terminates with unsuccessful outcome;

- the MSC may receive an indication for release of the radio path, in which case the dialogue
towards the VLR will be terminated by a MAP_U_ABORT primitive, containing the diagnostic
information Radio Channel Release.

When the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST confirmation is received, the parameters of this
primitive are checked first. In case of unsuccessful outcome of the service, the MAP User Error received
is mapped onto the appropriate radio interface message (see GSM 09.10), before the macro terminates
with unsuccessful outcome.
In case of positive outcome of the service, ciphering is initiated on the radio path, if this had been
requested by the VLR (see above). Otherwise, if the access request was not triggered by a page
response from the MS, the access request is accepted explicitly by sending a CM_Service_Accept
message to the MS. If the access request was triggered by a page response from the MS then no CM
Service Accept message is sent.
After ciphering has been initiated, the MSC will wait for the MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI indication from
the VLR. While waiting, the MSC may receive:
- a MAP_U_ABORT or MAP_P_ABORT indication, or a premature MAP_CLOSE indication from the
VLR. In these cases, the macro terminates with unsuccessful outcome, after sending a release
request towards the MS (see GSM 09.10);

- a MAP_NOTICE indication from the VLR. In this case, the dialogue towards the VLR is terminated
by a MAP_CLOSE primitive, the appropriate reject is sent towards the MS (see GSM 09.10), and
the macro terminates with unsuccessful outcome;

- an indication for release of the radio path, in which case the dialogue towards the VLR will be
terminated by a MAP_U_ABORT primitive, containing the diagnostic information Radio Channel
Release;

- a MAP_DELIMITER request from the VLR. This will be taken as a successful outcome of the
macro (i.e. the VLR did not require TMSI reallocation), and it terminates successfully;

- an A_SETUP request from the MS. This will be saved for handling by the procedure which invoked
the macro Process_Access_Request_MSC after the macro has terminated.

Page 651
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

When the MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI indication is received in the MSC, the TMSI Reallocation
Command is sent to the MS, and the MSC waits for an acknowledgement from the MS. In case a positive
acknowledgement is received, the MSC sends an empty MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI response
primitive to the VLR and terminates successfully. Else, the dialogue is terminated locally
(MAP_CLOSE_Req with Release method Prearranged End) without any further action.
If the MSC receives an A_SETUP request while it is waiting for the TMSI acknowledgement from the MS,
the A_SETUP is saved for handling by the procedure which invoked the macro
Process_Access_Request_MSC after the macro has terminated.
If the dialogue is aborted by the VLR while waiting for the TMSI acknowledgement from the MS, the MSC
regards the access request to be failed and terminates with unsuccessful outcome, after sending a
release request towards the MS (see GSM 09.10).

21.4.2 Macro Process_Access_Request_VLR
When the VLR receives a MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST indication, the VLR will check this
indication first (macro Check_Indication, see subclause 21.2). In case of negative outcome, the macro will
proceed with the error handling described below.
If the indication data are correct, it is checked first whether the subscriber identification (IMSI or TMSI) is
known if included:
- if the identification is not known, the IMSI may be requested from the mobile station, described in
the macro Identification_Procedure (see below) with outcome:

- OK, if a IMSI known in the VLR has been received;

- Error, if the VLR did not recognize the subscribers identity. The macro will proceed with the
error handling described below;

- Aborted, if the transaction to the MSC is released. The macro will terminate immediately with
unsuccessful.

In case the identity received is an IMEI, the error System Failure is set and the macro proceeds with the
error handling described below.
NOTE: Emergency Call with IMEI may be accepted within the error handling phase.
For a known subscriber the authentication check is performed next (see macro Authenticate_VLR,
subclause 21.5), if required. If a negative result is received, the VLR proceeds on receipt of user error:
- illegal subscriber depending on the identity used for authentication;

In case IMSI is already used or no new authentication attempt with IMSI shall not be
performed (operator option), the error Illegal Subscriber is set and the macro proceeds with
the error handling described below.

If a new authentication attempt with IMSI shall be performed, the IMSI is requested from the
mobile station (macro Obtain_IMSI_VLR, see subclause 21.8):

- the authentication will be performed again if a IMSI known in the VLR is received;

- the error Unidentified Subscriber is set and the macro proceeds with the error handling
described below, if the IMSI received is unknown in VLR;

- if the IMSI request procedure fails for any other reason, the error System Failure is set
and the macro proceeds with the error handling described below;

- if the dialogue has been aborted during the IMSI request, the macro terminates
immediately with unsuccessful outcome;

- unknown subscriber by setting the error Unidentified Subscriber and proceeding with the
error handling described below.

NOTE: This can occur only in case of data inconsistency between HLR and VLR.
- procedure error by setting the error System Failure and proceeding with the error handling
described below;

- null (i.e. the dialogue towards the MSC is terminated) by terminating immediately with
unsuccessful outcome.

Page 656
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

The mobile station access is accepted if no authentication is required or after successful authentication.
Then, the indicator "Confirmed by Radio Contact" is set to "Confirmed". If the indicator "Location
Information Confirmed in HLR" is set to "Not Confirmed", HLR updating will be started as an independent
process (Update_Location_VLR, see subclause 16.1.1.6).
If the indicator "Confirmed by HLR" is set to "Not Confirmed", the error Unidentified Subscriber is set and
the macro proceeds with the error handling described below.
If roaming is not allowed in the location area indicated in the Current Location Area Id parameter, the
error Roaming Not Allowed qualified by the roaming restriction reason is set and the macro proceeds with
the error handling described below.
In case roaming is allowed, the IMSI is set to attached and the process for notifying the HLR that the
subscriber is present is started if required (Subscriber Present VLR, see subclause 21.10).
At next, tracing is invoked if required by the operator (macro Trace_Subscriber_Activity_VLR, see
subclause 21.9). Thereafter:
if ciphering is not required, IMEI checking is invoked if required by the operator (see macro
Check_IMEI_VLR defined in subclause 21.6).

The error Illegal Equipment is set in case of unsuccessful outcome of the IMEI check, the
subscriber is marked as detached and the macro proceeds with the error handling described
below.

The macro terminates immediately with unsuccessful outcome if the MSC dialogue has been
released during the IMEI check.

Else, the macro terminates successfully by returning the
MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST response containing the IMSI to indicate
acceptance of the MS access.

if ciphering is required, the MAP_SET_CIPHERING_MODE request containing:

- the cipher mode indicating the cipher algorithm required; and
- the cipher key to be used;

is sent to the MSC.

As a further operator option, IMEI checking may be performed next.
The error Illegal Equipment is set in case of unsuccessful outcome of the IMEI check, the
subscriber is marked as detached and the macro proceeds with the error handling described
below.

The macro terminates immediately with unsuccessful outcome if the MSC dialogue has been
released during the IMEI check.

Else, the macro terminates successfully by returning the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST
response containing the IMSI to indicate acceptance of the MS access.

IF no TMSI reallocation is required (again an operator option), the macro terminates thereafter. Else,
TMSI reallocation is performed by sending a MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI request, containing the new
TMSI as parameter. The old TMSI will be frozen until an acknowledgement from the MS has been
received. Before the macro terminates, the VLR will wait for the MAP_FORWARD_NEW_TMSI response,
containing no parameters if reallocation has been confirmed by the MS, or a Provider Error, otherwise, in
which case the old TMSI is kept frozen to avoid double allocation. In this case, both the old as the new
TMSI are subsequently regarded valid when used by the MS.
Page 657
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

Error handling
In case some error is detected during handling the access request, a respective error has been set.
Before returning this error cause to the MSC in a MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST response, it
need to be checked whether this access is for emergency call set-up, as this will require extra treatment.
If the CM Service type given in the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST indication is emergency call
set-up, it is checked whether EC set-up in the particular error situation is permitted (operator option). If so,
it is checked whether the IMEI is required, and if so the IMEI is requested from the MS (macro
Obtain_IMEI_VLR, see subclause 21.6).
The macro will terminate immediately with unsuccessful outcome if the MSC transaction has been
aborted during the IMEI retrieval.

In case of an error reported back from IMEI retrieval, MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST
response containing the error cause set previously is returned to the MSC, the dialogue is closed
(MAP_CLOSE request indicating normal release) and the macro terminates with unsuccessful
outcome.

When a subscriber identity required by the operator (IMSI or IMEI) is available, the user error set
previously is deleted, the respective identity is returned in the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST
response to indicate acceptance of emergency call, and the macro terminates with successful outcome.
In all other cases, the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST response containing the error cause set
previously is returned to the MSC, the dialogue is closed (MAP_CLOSE request indicating normal
release) and the macro terminates with unsuccessful outcome.
21.4.3 Macro Identification Procedure
This macro is invoked by the macro Process_Access_Request_VLR in case the subscribers identity is
not known in the VLR.
If the identity received from the MS is an IMSI, the error Unidentified Subscriber will be set and reported
back to the calling macro (to be sent in the MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST response). The same
error is used in case a TMSI was received from the MS, but the operator does not allow open
identification of the MS.
If open identification of the MS is allowed, the macro Obtain_IMSI_VLR is invoked, requesting the
subscribers IMSI from the MS (see subclause 21.8), with outcome:
OK, in which case it is checked whether for the IMSI received there exists a subscriber record in
the VLR. If so, the macro terminates successfully, else the error Unidentified Subscriber will be set
and reported back to the calling macro.

Error, in which case the error System Failure will be set and reported back to the calling macro.

Aborted, i.e. the MSC transaction is released, in which the macro terminates accordingly.

21.5 Authentication macros and processes
The following macros are used in the GSM network in order to enable authentication of a mobile
subscriber.
21.5.1 Macro Authenticate_MSC
This macro is used by the MSC to relay a request for authentication transparently from the VLR to the
MS, wait for a response from the MS and to relay the response from the MS back to the VLR. If, while the
MSC is waiting for the authentication response, the air interface connection is released or a
MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_P_ABORT or MAP_CLOSE indication is received from the VLR, then necessary
connections are released and the "Error" exit is used. The macro is described in figure 21.5/1.
21.5.2 Macro Authenticate_VLR
This macro is used by the VLR to control the authentication of a subscriber. The macro proceeds as
follows:
- if there are not enough authentication triplets in the VLR to perform the authentication, then the
macro "Obtain_Authent_Para_VLR" described below is invoked. If this macro fails, then the
corresponding error (Unknown Subscriber or Procedure Error) is returned to the calling process;

- if there are enough authentication triplets in the VLR, or the Obtain_Authent_Para_VLR macro was
successful, then a MAP_AUTHENTICATE request is sent to the MSC. This request contains the
RAND and CKSN parameters as indicated in the service description;

- the VLR then waits for a response from the MSC;

- if a MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_P_ABORT or MAP_CLOSE indication is received from the MSC in this
wait state, the VLR checks whether authentication sets are available. If no sets are available the
process Obtain_Authent_Sets_VLR is invoked to fetch authentication sets from the HLR. The "Null"
exit is then used;

- if a MAP_NOTICE indication is received from the MSC in this wait state, the VLR closes the
dialogue with the MSC, then checks whether authentication sets are available. If no sets are
available the process Obtain_Authent_Sets_VLR is invoked to fetch authentication sets from the
HLR. The "Null" exit is then used;

- if a MAP_AUTHENTICATE confirmation is received by the VLR, it checks whether the received
Signed Result (SRES) is identical to the stored one (see GSM 03.20). If this is not the case, the
"Illegal Subscriber" exit is used. If the SRES values are identical, then the "OK" exit is used;

- before exit, the VLR may fetch a new set of triplets from the HLR. This is done by initiating a
separate Obtain_Authent_Sets_VLR process described below.

The macro is described in figure 21.5/2.
21.5.3 Process Obtain_Authentication_Sets_VLR
This process is initiated by the VLR to fetch triplets from a subscribers HLR in a stand-alone,
independent manner. The Obtain_Authent_Para_VLR macro described below is simply called; the
process is described in figure 21.5/3.
Page 663
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

21.5.4 Macro Obtain_Authent_Para_VLR
This macro is used by the VLR to request authentication triplets from the HLR. The macro proceeds as
follows:
- a connection is opened, and a MAP_SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO request sent to the HLR;

- if the HLR indicates that a MAP version 1 dialogue is to be used, the VLR performs the equivalent
MAP version 1 dialogue. which can return a positive result containing authentication sets, an empty
positive result, or an error;

- if the dialogue opening fails, the "Procedure Error" exit is used. Otherwise, the VLR waits for the
response from the HLR;

- if a MAP_SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO confirmation is received from the HLR, the VLR
checks the received data.

One of the following positive responses may be received from a MAP version 1 or MAP version 2
dialogue with the HLR:
- Authentication triplets, in which case the outcome is successful;

- Empty response, in which case the VLR may re-use old triplets, if allowed by the PLMN operator.

If the VLR cannot re-use old triplets (or no such triplets are available) then the "Procedure Error" exit is
used.
If the outcome was successful or re-use of old parameters in the VLR is allowed, then the "OK" exit is
used.
If an "Unknown Subscriber" error is included in the MAP_SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO confirm or is
returned by the MAP version 1 dialogue, then the "Unknown Subscriber" exit is used.
- if a MAP-U-ABORT, MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_NOTICE or unexpected MAP_CLOSE service
indication is received from the MSC, then open connections are terminated, and the macro takes
the "Null" exit;

- if a MAP-U-ABORT, MAP_P_ABORT or unexpected MAP_CLOSE service indication is received
from the HLR, then the VLR checks whether old authentication parameters can be re-used. If old
parameters cannot be re-used the macro takes the "Procedure Error" exit; otherwise it takes the
"OK" exit;

- if a MAP_NOTICE service indication is received from the HLR, then the dialogue with the HLR is
closed. The VLR then checks whether old authentication parameters can be re-used. If old
parameters cannot be re-used the macro takes the "Procedure Error" exit; otherwise it takes the
"OK" exit.

The macro is described in figure 21.5/4.
Page 664
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

21.5.5 Process Obtain_Auth_Sets_HLR
Opening of the dialogue is described in the macro Receive_Open_Ind in subclause 21.1, with outcomes:
- reversion to version one procedure;

- procedure termination; or

- dialogue acceptance, with proceeding as below.

This process is used by the HLR to obtain authentication triplets from the AuC, upon request from the
VLR. The process acts as follows:
- a MAP_SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO indication is received by the HLR;

- the HLR checks the service indication for errors. If any, they are reported to the VLR in the
MAP_SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO response. If no errors are detected, authentication triplets
are fetched from the AuC. Further details are found in GSM 03.20;

- if errors are detected they are reported to the VLR in the MAP_SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO
response. Otherwise the authentication triplets are returned.

The process is described in figure 21.5/5.

21.6 IMEI Handling Macros
The following macros are used in the GSM network in order to enable handling and checking of the
mobile equipment identity.
21.6.1 Macro Check_IMEI_MSC
This macro is used by the MSC to receive a request from the VLR, relay it to the EIR, and pass the result
from the EIR back to the VLR. The macro proceeds as follows:
- a MAP_CHECK_IMEI service indication containing only the Invoke Id is received from the VLR;

- if the IMEI is not available in the MSC, it is requested from the MS using the IDENTITY REQUEST
message;

- if the MS releases the radio resources, a MAP_U_ABORT request indicating "Application
procedure Cancellation" is sent to the VLR, and the "Error" exit of the macro is used;

- when the IMEI is known, a connection is set up towards the EIR, and a MAP_CHECK_IMEI service
request is sent including the IMEI;

- if the opening of the dialogue fails, a System Failure is reported to the VLR. Otherwise, the MSC
waits for a response from the EIR;

- when the MAP_CHECK_IMEI service confirm is received, it is checked for errors. Any errors
discovered in the MSC lead to the System Failure error to be reported to the VLR in the
MAP_CHECK_IMEI response. Any errors reported from the EIR are sent directly to the VLR in the
MAP_CHECK_IMEI service response. If no errors are detected by or reported to the MSC, the
IMEI is added to the MAP_CHECK_IMEI service response returned to the VLR. The "OK" exit is
used in all cases;

- if a MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_CLOSE or MAP_NOTICE service indication is
received from the EIR, the MSC closes the transaction with the EIR (if necessary), reports a
System Failure error back to the VLR in the MAP_CHECK_IMEI response, and uses the macros
"OK" exit;

- if a MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_CLOSE or MAP_NOTICE indication is received from
the VLR, the MSC closes the transaction with the VLR (if necessary) and aborts the connections
towards the EIR and the MS; the macro takes the "Error" exit.

If the dialogue with the EIR drops back to version 1, the result or error returned by the EIR is checked.
The use of the "Check_Confirmation" macro in the SDL diagram indicates that the checks carried out on
the result returned by the EIR in a MAP v1 dialogue are functionally equivalent to those carried out on the
parameters of the MAP_CHECK_IMEI confirm received from the EIR in a MAP v2 dialogue.
The macro is described in figure 21.6/1.
21.6.2 Macro Check_IMEI_VLR
This macro is used by the VLR to control the check of a mobile equipments IMEI. The macro proceeds as
follows:
- a MAP_CHECK_IMEI service request is sent to the MSC, including only the Invoke Id;

- the VLR then waits for the response from the MSC;

Page 672
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

- if a MAP_CHECK_IMEI service confirm including either:
- the IMEI and the Equipment Status; or
- an error;
is received, the VLR checks whether the response requires that an alarm be generated on the
Operation and Maintenance interface. The criteria for such alarms are PLMN operator dependent;

- the VLR then checks whether the response from the MSC means that service is granted to the
mobile station. The criteria for granting service depending on the equipment status or errors
received in the MAP_CHECK_IMEI service response are also PLMN operator dependent;

- if a MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_CLOSE or MAP_NOTICE indication is received from
the MSC, then the MSC connection is closed (if necessary) and the macro takes the "Aborted" exit.

The macro is described in figure 21.6/2.
21.6.3 Process Check_IMEI_EIR
This process is used by the EIR to obtain the status of a piece of mobile equipment, upon request from
the MSC. The process acts as follows:
- a MAP_OPEN service indication is received (macro Receive_Open_Ind, subclause 21.1.1). If the
dialogue opening fails, the process terminates;

- otherwise, a MAP_CHECK_IMEI indication is received by the EIR, containing the IMEI to be
checked;

- the EIR checks the service indication for errors. If there are any, they are reported to the MSC in
the MAP-CHECK_IMEI response. If no errors are detected, the EIR data base function is
interrogated for the status of the given equipment. Further details are found in GSM 02.16;

- the status of the equipment (white-listed, grey-listed, black-listed or unknown) is returned to the
MSC in the MAP_CHECK_IMEI service response;

- if a MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_NOTICE or MAP_CLOSE indication is received from
the MSC at any time during this process, the process in the EIR terminates.

The process is described in figure 21.6/3.
21.6.4 Macro Obtain_IMEI_MSC
This macro is used by the MSC to respond to a request from the VLR to provide the IMEI. The macro
proceeds as follows:
- a MAP_OBTAIN_IMEI service indication containing only the Invoke Id is received from the VLR;

- if the IMEI is not available in the MSC, it is requested from the MS using the IDENTITY REQUEST
message;

- when the IMEI is known, it is returned to the VLR in the MAP_OBTAIN_IMEI service response. The
macro terminates at the "OK" exit;

- if the IMEI cannot be obtained by the MSC, the System Failure error is reported back to the VLR in
the MAP_OBTAIN_IMEI service response. The macro terminates at the "OK" exit;

- if a MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT or MAP_CLOSE indication is received from the VLR, the
macro terminates at the "Error" exit.

The macro is described in figure 21.6/4.
Page 673
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

21.6.5 Macro Obtain_IMEI_VLR
This macro is used by the VLR to obtain the IMEI from the MSC, e.g. to enable handling of emergency
calls in case of authentication failure (in which case the IMEI may be used by some operators as an
alternative to the IMSI). It proceeds as follows:
- the MAP_OBTAIN_IMEI service request is sent to the MSC, including only the Invoke Id;

- the VLR then waits for the response from the MSC;

- if the IMEI is received in the MAP_OBTAIN_IMEI service response, the macro terminates at the
"OK" exit;

- if the System Failure error is reported in the MAP_OBTAIN_IMEI service response, the "Error" exit
is used;

- if the MSC terminates the dialogue using a MAP_P_ABORT, MAP_U_ABORT, MAP_CLOSE or
MAP_NOTICE service indication, the necessary connections are released, and the "Aborted" exit is
used for termination of the macro.

The macro is shown in figure 21.6/5.

21.7 Insert Subscriber Data Macros
21.7.1 Macro Insert_Subs_Data_VLR
This macro describes the reception of the InsertSubscriberData service indication. This macro is used by
any procedure that triggers the reception of subscriber data (e.g. Update Location or Restore Data).
If the VLR does not support any basic or supplementary service or the network feature Operator
Determined Barring, or there is a problem with Regional Subscription Data then it reports it to the HLR.
If the entire MSC area is restricted due to regional subscription this is reported to the HLR.
The SDL diagram is shown in figure 21.7/1.

21.7.2 Process Insert_Subs_Data_Stand_Alone_HLR
This process is used by HLR to transfer subscriber data to VLR in a stand alone mode, i.e. in its own
dialogue. this is done whenever a change of subscriber data is performed either by the operator or by the
subscriber and this change has to be reported to VLR.
The process, after opening the dialogue with VLR, sends as many requests of the InsertSubscriberData
service as necessary to transfer the subscriber data. The call to the process "Send_Insert_Subs_Data"
(see subclause 21.7.4) is meant to describe two possible behaviours of the HLR when more than one
service request has to be sent:
- either the HLR handles the requests and the confirmations in parallel; or

- the HLR sends every request after receiving the confirmation to the previous one.

The macro "Wait_for_Insert_Subs_Data_Cnf" (see subclause 21.7.3) is also called in order to handle
every single confirmation.
If the result of a primitive received from the VLR is unsuccessful, the HLR may initiate re-attempts; the
number of repeat attempts and the time in between are HLR operator options, depending on the error
returned by the VLR.
If certain services required for a subscriber are not supported by the VLR (e.g. Advice of Charge
Charging Level), this may result in one of the following outcomes:
- the HLR stores and sends "Roaming Restriction Due To Unsupported Feature" in a subsequent
MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA service. If "Roaming Restriction Due To Unsupported
Feature" is stored in the HLR, the "MSC Area Restricted Flag" shall be set to "restricted". This will
prevent MT calls, MT SM and MT USSD from being forwarded to the MSC/VLR;

- the HLR stores and sends other induced subscriber data (e.g. a specific barring program) in a
subsequent MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA service. This will cause rejection of mobile
originated service requests, except emergency calls.

When the VLR receives regional subscription data (Zone Code List) it may respond with "MSC Area
Restricted" in the MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA response. In this case the "MSC Area Restricted
Flag" shall be set to "restricted" in the HLR. This will prevent MT calls, MT SM and MT USSD from being
forwarded to the MSC/VLR.
If the HLR does not store "Roaming Restriction Due To Unsupported Feature" as a consequence of the
stand alone Insert Subscriber Data procedure and the HLR does not receive "MSC Area Restricted" in
the MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA response and "Roaming Restriction Due To Unsupported
Feature" has not been stored in the HLR in the course of a previous subscriber data retrieval procedure,
the "MSC Area Restricted Flag" in the HLR shall be set to "not restricted".
The SDL diagram is shown in figure 21.7/2.

21.7.3 Macro Wait_for_Insert_Subs_Data_Cnf
This macro is used by any process or macro that describes the handling of the reception of the
Insert_Subscriber_Data service in HLR (e.g. Update Location or Restore Data).
If the VLR reports the non-support of some basic or supplementary service or the network feature
Operator Determined Barring then three actions are possible:
- to ignore the information received;

- to replace the not supported service;

- or to perform any other internal action.

The SDL diagram is shown in figure 21.7/3.

21.9.3 Macro Activate_Tracing_VLR
The Activate_Tracing_VLR macro is invoked, when the MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE indication is
received from the HLR. The primitive is processed in the VLR as follows:
- if the data contains errors, a data missing or unexpected data value indication is returned to the
HLR;

- if the tracing is not supported, a facility not supported indication is returned to the HLR;

- if the tracing buffer does not have any space left for the data, a tracing buffer full indication is
returned to the HLR;

- if no errors is detected, the tracing is set active and a positive acknowledge is returned to the HLR.

The Activate_Tracing_VLR macro is described in the figure 21.9/3.

21.9.4 Macro Control_Tracing_HLR
The Control_Tracing_HLR macro may be invoked in the HLR, if subscriber related activity is detected. If
the tracing is active in the HLR and not active in the VLR, the MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE request
is sent to the VLR.
The MAP_ACTIVATE_TRACE_MODE confirmation from the VLR is processed as follows:
- if the primitive contains a successful acknowledge, the tracing in VLR is set active;

- if the primitive contains errors, the tracing in VLR is set deactive.

The Control_Tracing_HLR macro is shown in the figure 21.9/4.

21.10 Short Message Alert procedures
21.10.1 Subscriber_Present_VLR process
The Subscriber_Present_VLR process is invoked by the VLR, when the mobile subscriber becomes
active and the MNRF flag is set. The general description of the short message alert procedures is in the
subclause 20.4.
The VLR sends the MAP_READY_FOR_SM request to the HLR and waits for the HLR to answer. When
receiving the answer, the VLR will act as follows:
- the MNRF flag is cleared if the procedure is successful;

- the MNRF flag is not cleared if the procedure is not successful.

The Subscriber_Present_VLR process is shown in the figure 21.10/1.

21.10.2 Macro Alert_Service_Centre_HLR
The Alert_Service_Centre_HLR macro is initiated when the HLR notices that the Service Centre(s) shall
be alerted. The macro starts process Alert_Service_Centre_HLR for every SC address in the MWD list.
In the process Alert_Service_Centre_HLR the HLR sends MAP_ALERT_SERVICE_CENTRE request to
the appropriate IWMSC. The MWD entry is deleted when the positive acknowledge is received from the
IWMSC. The unsuccessful alert may be repeated. The MWD entry should be purged in the unsuccessful
case, at least when a suitable time period has expired.
The Alert_Service_Centre_HLR macro is shown in the figure 21.10/2 and the Alert_Service_Centre_HLR
process is shown in the figure 21.10/3.

Annex A (informative): Cross-reference for abstract syntaxes of MAP
Annex A is not part of the standard, it is included for information purposes only.
For every ASN.1 item such as identifier, type-reference or value-reference the cross-reference allows to
locate all occurrences by means of module-name and line numbers. For that purpose line numbers are
printed at the left margin in front of each ASN.1 source line starting with 1 for every module.
The items are sorted alphabetically in the cross-reference in a case-insensitive manner. Occurrences of
an item are its definition and all its usages such as in exports, imports or within a type or value
assignment.
For every item additional information is provided such as kind of item (identifier, value reference, type
reference), and tag, associated type and value if applicable.
The cross-reference for a root module includes all modules referred to directly or indirectly via imports.
The cross-references for the root modules MAP-Protocol/TCAPMessages and MAP-DialoguePDU are
included.

Annex B (informative): Fully expanded ASN.1 sources for abstract syntaxes of
MAP
Annex B is not part of the standard, it is included for information purposes only.
For every (Value)Assignment in the root ASN.1 module all the used defined types and defined values,
which are defined within the ASN.1 module or imported from ASN.1 modules, are replaced by the
constructs this type or value is composed of.
The fully expanded ASN.1 root module is itself a correct and equivalent representation of the
MAP-Protocol.
It allows to see at all the parameters, including all nested ones for a specific operationcode or errorcode
at once.
Note that for those operations which use a result without parameters the keyword RESULT is not shown.
Empty results are only defined in the ASN.1 description in clause 14.

Annex C (informative): Formal protocol incompatibilities between versions 1 &
2 of MAP
C.1 Introduction
Annex C is not normative; it presents for information those parts of the MAP version 2 protocol which are
not backward compatible with (i.e. a true superset of) the MAP version 1 protocol. For each
incompatibility there is a commentary on the impact on the interworking of MAP version 1 and MAP
version 2 entities.
SMG have decided that the MAP specification should include the operations and procedures used on the
B interface (MSC/VLR) only for modelling purposes; the B interface cannot be implemented as an open
interface. Hence any incompatibilities which affect operations used only on the B interface have no impact
on the interworking of MAP version 1 and MAP version 2 entities.
C.2 Deletion of operations and errors
This subclause lists the operations and errors which have been completely removed from the MAP
protocol.
C.2.1 Deletion of operation DeregisterMobileSubscriber
Although it is defined in the protocol in the MAP version 1 specification, this operation is not used (see
subclause 1.2 of the latest phase 1 version of GSM 09.02).
C.2.2 Deletion of operation RegisterChargingInfo
There is no known implementation of MAP version 1 which supports this operation. The deletion has
been approved by SMG.
C.2.3 Deletion of operation ForwardSS-Notification
There is no known implementation of MAP version 1 which supports this operation. The deletion has
been approved by SMG.
C.2.4 Deletion of operations used only on the B-interface
The following operations (listed in alphabetical order) are not defined in the MAP version 2 protocol,
because they are used only on the B-interface:
AllocateHandoverNumber; AttachIMSI; Authenticate; CompleteCall; DetachIMSI; ForwardNewTMSI;
InvokeSS; Page; ProcessAccessRequest; ProvideIMSI; SearchForMobileSubscriber;
SendHandoverReport; SendInfoForIncomingCall; SendInfoForOutgoingCall; SetCipheringMode;
UpdateLocationArea.
C.2.5 Deletion of error InsufficientBearerCapabilities
This error is defined in the MAP version 1 protocol, but it is not specified for use with any operation.
C.3 Deletion of errors for operations
This subclause lists the cases where an error which is specified for use with an operation in the MAP
version 1 specification is not specified for use with the same operation in the MAP version 2 specification.
C.3.1 Error NegativePW-Check for operation RegisterSS
Password checking is not used for the supplementary services to which registration applies.
Page 780
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

C.3.2 Error NegativePW-Check for operation EraseSS
Password checking is not used for the supplementary services to which erasure applies.
C.3.3 Error NegativePW-Check for operation InterrogateSS
Password checking is not used for the interrogation of supplementary services.
C.3.4 Error CUG-Reject for operation SendRoutingInfoForSM
Closed User Group does not apply to the short message service.
C.4 Changes to definitions of data types
This subclause lists in alphabetical order those data types whose definitions have been directly or
indirectly changed. For constructed data types, only the components which have been changed are
mentioned. The commentary on the end effect of each change is given in subclauses C.6 (parameters of
operations), C.7 (results of operations) or C.8 (errors of operations).
C.4.1 CUG-Feature
The type CUG-Feature was a sequence of four components; these have been deleted and replaced by
three new components. It is used for the components of the type CUG-FeatureList.
C.4.2 CUG-FeatureList
The type CUG-FeatureList is a sequence of components of type CUG-Feature. It is used for a component
of the type CUG-Info.
C.4.3 CUG-Info
The type CUG-Info is a sequence. One component of the sequence has been replaced by a component
of a new type; the other component was a choice between a cug-Feature and a cug-FeatureList, and is
now an optional cug-FeatureList. The type CUG-Info is used for a component of the type SS-Info.
C.4.4 CUG-RejectCause
The range of permitted values of the enumerated type CUG-RejectCause has been extended. The type is
used for the parameter of the error CUG-Reject.
C.4.5 IMSI
The lower limit of the length of an IMSI has been increased from 2 octets to 3 octets. It is not possible to
code a minimum length IMSI (MCC+MNC+MSIN) in 2 octets, so the theoretical lower limit of 2 octets
should never be used by a MAP version 1 entity to send an IMSI; if it is, a MAP version 2 entity will treat it
as a protocol error. Since this change has no practical impact it is not discussed further.
C.4.6 ISDN-AddressString
The upper limit of the length of an ISDN-AddressString has been reduced from 10 octets to 9 octets. The
maximum length of an E.164 number is 15 digits; this can be encoded as a TBCD-string in 8 octets, plus
a further octet to hold the type of number and number plan indicator. The cases where the
ISDN-AddressString type was used in MAP version 1 to carry anything other than an E.164 number are
described in subclause C.6; the other cases are not discussed further.
Page 781
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

C.4.7 Password
In MAP version 1 the type Password was a choice between a printable string of length 4 to 8 octets or a
numeric string of length 4 octets. It is now a numeric string of length 4 octets. The type Password is used
for the result of the operation GetPassword.
C.4.8 RequestParameter
The enumerated type RequestParameter is no longer allowed to take the value requestCUG-Info. It is
used as a component of the type RequestParameterList.
C.4.9 RequestParameterList
The type RequestParameterList is a sequence of components of type RequestParameter. The parameter
of the operation SendParameters is a sequence of which one component is of type
RequestParameterList.
C.4.10 SentParameter
The type SentParameter is a choice of which one component is of type SubscriberData. It is used as a
component of the type SentParameterList.
C.4.11 SentParameterList
The type SentParameterList is a sequence whose components are of type SentParameter. The maximum
number of components in the sequence has been reduced from 10 to 6.
The type SentParameterList is used for the result of the operation SendParameters.
C.4.12 SS-Data
The type SS-Data is a sequence of which one component is of type SS-SubscriptionOption. It is used for
a component of the type SS-Info.
C.4.13 SS-Info
The type SS-Info is a choice of which one component is of type CUG-Info and another component is of
type SS-Data. It is used for the result of the operations RegisterSS, EraseSS, ActivateSS and
DeactivateSS, and for components of the type SS-InfoList.
C.4.14 SS-InfoList
The type SS-InfoList is a sequence of components of type SS-Info. It is used for a component of the type
SubscriberData.
C.4.15 SS-SubscriptionOption
The type SS-SubscriptionOption was a choice from five components: perCallBasis (used for the CLIR
supplementary service); notificationToHeldRetrievedParty (used for the Call Transfer supplementary
service); userToUserServiceIndicator (used for the User to User Signalling supplementary service);
maximumConfereesNumber (used for the Conference Calling supplementary service); and
huntGroupAccessSelectionOrder (used for the Mobile Access Hunting supplementary service. It has been
replaced by a choice from two components: cliRestrictionOption (used for the CLIR supplementary
service); and overrideCategory (used for the CLIP and COLP supplementary services).
Page 782
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

The Call Transfer, User to User Signalling, Conference Calling and Mobile Access Hunting
supplementary services are not specified for GSM Phase 1 or GSM Phase 2, so data for these services
should not be transferred in a dialogue involving a MAP version 1 entity. These cases will therefore not be
discussed further.
The type SS-SubscriptionOption is used for a component of SS-Data and for the parameter of the error
SS-SubscriptionViolation.
C.4.16 SubscriberData
The type SubscriberData is a sequence of which one component is of type SS-InfoList. Components of
SubscriberData are used as a component of the parameter of the operation InsertSubscriberData; the
type is also used for a component of the type SentParameter.
C.5 Changes to parameters of errors
This subclause lists in alphabetical order the errors whose parameters have changed.
C.5.1 CUG-Reject
The error CUG-Reject has an optional parameter of type CUG-RejectCause. The error CUG-Reject is
used for the operation SendRoutingInfo.
C.5.2 SS-SubscriptionViolation
The error SS-SubscriptionViolation has an optional parameter of type SS-SubscriptionOption. The error
SS-SubscriptionViolation is used for the operations ActivateSS, DeactivateSS, EraseSS and RegisterSS.
C.6 Changes to parameters of operations
This subclause lists in alphabetical order the operations whose parameters have changed, and gives a
commentary on the effect of the changes on each operation.
C.6.1 InsertSubscriberData
The parameter of the operation InsertSubscriberData is a sequence of which one component is a
sequence of components of SubscriberData. The components of SubscriberData which are affected by
the changes listed in subclause C.4 are cug-Info and SS-SubscriptionOption.
The CUG supplementary service is not supported by MAP version 1; CUG-Info should therefore not be
used as a component of SubscriberData in a dialogue involving a MAP version 1 entity.
The replacement of the perCallBasis (type BOOLEAN) subscription option by the cliRestrictionOption
(type ENUMERATED) for the CLIR supplementary service means that full support for the CLIR
supplementary service is not possible if either entity involved can support only MAP version 1.
C.6.2 RegisterSS
The forwardedToNumber component of the parameter of the operation RegisterSS had a maximum
length of 10 octets in MAP version 1, as it was of the type ISDN-AddressString. In MAP version 2 the
maximum length is 20 octets, as the type is AddressString. The maximum length (9 octets) of the ISDN-
AddressString type in MAP version 2 may not be adequate to hold the forwardedToNumber, which is not
necessarily an E.164 number; the user may enter the number using the digits for international access
rather than the "+" key.
Page 783
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

C.6.3 SendParameters
The operation SendParameters uses as its parameter a sequence of which one component is of type
RequestParameter. The value requestCUG-Info can no longer be used for this component. The
SendParameters operation is used only when interworking with a MAP version 1 entity, and MAP version
1 does not support the GSM Phase 2 CUG supplementary service, so the SendParameters operation
should in any case not be used to request CUG information.
C.6.4 SendRoutingInfoForSM
The cug-Interlock component of the parameter of the operation SendRoutingInfoForSM has been deleted.
Closed User Group does not apply to the short message service.
C.7 Changes to results of operations
This subclause lists in alphabetical order the operations whose results have changed, and gives a
commentary on the effect of the changes on each operation.
C.7.1 ActivateSS
The result of the operation ActivateSS is of type SS-Info. Two data types used for components of SS-Info
have suffered incompatible changes: CUG-Info and SS-SubscriptionOption.
The ActivateSS operation does not apply to the CUG supplementary service, so the cug-Info component
of SS-Info should never be present in the result of the operation ActivateSS.
The ActivateSS operation does not apply to the CLIP, CLIR or COLP supplementary services, for which
the type SS-SubscriptionOption is used, so the ss-SubscriptionOption component of SS-Info should never
be present in the result of the operation ActivateSS.
C.7.2 DeactivateSS
The result of the operation DeactivateSS is of type SS-Info. Two data types used for components of
SS-Info have suffered incompatible changes: CUG-Info and SS-SubscriptionOption.
The DeactivateSS operation does not apply to the CUG supplementary service, so the cug-Info
component of SS-Info should never be present in the result of the operation DeactivateSS.
The DeactivateSS operation does not apply to the CLIP, CLIR or COLP supplementary services, for
which the type SS-SubscriptionOption is used, so the ss-SubscriptionOption component of SS-Info should
never be present in the result of the operation DeactivateSS.
C.7.3 EraseSS
The result of the operation EraseSS is of type SS-Info. Two data types used for components of SS-Info
have suffered incompatible changes: CUG-Info and SS-SubscriptionOption.
The EraseSS operation does not apply to the CUG supplementary service, so the cug-Info component of
SS-Info should never be present in the result of the operation EraseSS.
The EraseSS operation does not apply to the CLIP, CLIR or COLP supplementary services, for which the
type SS-SubscriptionOption is used, so the ss-SubscriptionOption component of SS-Info should never be
present in the result of the operation EraseSS.
Page 784
ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

C.7.4 GetPassword
The result of the operation GetPassword is of type Password. In MAP version 1 this was a choice
between a printable string of length 4 to 8 octets or a numeric string of length 4 octets. It is now a numeric
string of length 4 octets. The printable string option was never used in MAP version 1, as indicated by a
comment in the ASN.1 in the latest phase 1 version of GSM 09.02.
C.7.5 InterrogateSS
The result of the InterrogateSS operation is a CHOICE; one of the components of the CHOICE is a list of
basic services to which the supplementary service applies, which is used for the Call Barring
supplementary service. In MAP version 1 this list can in principle have up to 70 members, the number of
individual basic services. However Call Barring can apply to only 13 basic service groups. In MAP version
2 the length of the list of basic service codes which can be returned in the result of the InterrogateSS
operation is reduced to 13 to reflect this.
C.7.6 RegisterSS
The result of the operation RegisterSS is of type SS-Info. Two data types used for components of SS-Info
have suffered incompatible changes: CUG-Info and SS-SubscriptionOption.
The RegisterSS operation does not apply to the CUG supplementary service, so the cug-Info component
of SS-Info should never be present in the result of the operation RegisterSS.
The RegisterSS operation does not apply to the CLIP, CLIR or COLP supplementary services, for which
the type SS-SubscriptionOption is used, so the ss-SubscriptionOption component of SS-Info should never
be present in the result of the operation RegisterSS.
C.7.7 SendParameters
The result of the operation SendParameters is of type SentParameterList, which is a sequence of
components of type SentParameter. The maximum number of components in the sequence has been
reduced from 10 to 6. MAP version 1 could in principle send 10 sets of CUG-Information, but the
supplementary service Closed User Group is not defined for GSM Phase 1, and the MAP version 1
signalling protocol will not support Closed User Group as defined for GSM Phase 2, so a MAP version 1
entity should never request parameters for CUG. The maximum number of sent parameters therefore
consists of an IMSI and 5 AuthenticationSets - a total of 6.
The type SentParameter is a choice of which one component is of type SubscriberData. The components
of SubscriberData which are affected by the changes listed in subclause C.4 are CUG-Info and ss-
SubscriptionOption.
The CUG supplementary service is not supported by MAP version 1; CUG-Info should therefore not be
used as a component of SubscriberData in a dialogue involving a MAP version 1 entity.
The replacement of the perCallBasis (type BOOLEAN) subscription option by the cliRestrictionOption
(type ENUMERATED) for the CLIR supplementary service means that full support for the CLIR
supplementary service is not possible if either entity involved can support only MAP version 1.
C.7.8 SendRoutingInfoForSM
The result of the operation SendRoutingInfoForSM is a sequence of which one component was a choice
between location information (optionally with an associated LMSI) and forwarding data; the choice of
forwarding data has been removed. Call Forwarding does not apply to the short message service.

ETS 300 599: December 2000 (GSM 09.02 version 4.19.1)

C.8 Changes to errors of operations
This subclause lists in alphabetical order the operations whose errors have changed, and gives a
commentary on the effect of the changes on each operation.
C.8.1 ActivateSS
The definition of the type SS-SubscriptionOption used for the optional parameter of the error
SS-SubscriptionViolation has been changed. However the only use defined for the error
SS-SubscriptionViolation is when the user attempts to activate or deactivate a Call Barring supplementary
service and the subscription option "Control by Service Provider" has been taken. The MAP version 1
protocol does not define this subscription option, so there is no case when the error
SS-SubscriptionViolation will be used with the optional parameter.
C.8.2 DeactivateSS
The definition of the type SS-SubscriptionOption used for the optional parameter of the error
SS-SubscriptionViolation has been changed. However the only use defined for the error
SS-SubscriptionViolation is when the user attempts to activate or deactivate a Call Barring supplementary
service and the subscription option "Control by Service Provider" has been taken. The MAP version 1
protocol does not define this subscription option, so there is no case when the error
SS-SubscriptionViolation will be used with the optional parameter.
C.8.3 EraseSS
The definition of the type SS-SubscriptionOption used for the optional parameter of the error
SS-SubscriptionViolation has been changed. However the only use defined for the error
SS-SubscriptionViolation is when the user attempts to activate or deactivate a Call Barring supplementary
service and the subscription option "Control by Service Provider" has been taken, so there is no case
when the error SS-SubscriptionViolation will be used for the operation EraseSS.
C.8.4 RegisterSS
The definition of the type SS-SubscriptionOption used for the optional parameter of the error
SS-SubscriptionViolation has been changed. However the only use defined for the error
SS-SubscriptionViolation is when the user attempts to activate or deactivate a Call Barring supplementary
service and the subscription option "Control by Service Provider" has been taken, so there is no case
when the error SS-SubscriptionViolation will be used for the operation RegisterSS.
C.8.5 SendRoutingInfo
The definition of the type (CUG-RejectCause) used for the optional parameter of the error CUG-Reject
has been changed. However the supplementary service Closed User Group is not defined for GSM
Phase 1, and the MAP version 1 signalling protocol will not support Closed User Group as defined for
GSM Phase 2, so the error CUG-Reject should not be used in a dialogue involving a MAP version 1
entity.
