Liaison statements
From 3GPP WGs
CT4 is asking SA2 to determine whether C-MSISDN is the same as MSISDN for CS access. If it is the same, then CT4
would also need to know whether C-MSISDN in multi-numbering scenario is equal to basic MSISDN or any MSISDN
for CS access? The current CT4 CRs C4-102157 and C4-102419 are valid, unless objection is heard from SA2.
The related CRs are in CP-100448 and 455.
If CP-100448 and 455 are not approved, then 522 can be approved as they stand.

Decision:
5.2
Alcatel-Lucent had some concern in last CT1 meeting that proposed solution has the implication that it could increases
the signalling in existing visited networks with no control by the visited Network Operator. The justification for
disabling SigComp comes from the high bandwidth RAT like LTE, but the CRs are written so that the disabling of
SigComp, if done, affects all RATs.

Abstract:
TSG CT has approved the TR 23.889 feasibility study on Local Call Local Switch with one sustained objection.
CT Plenary agreed that the following issues are considered still open and need to be further studied by CT4 and
GERAN 2:
1. Whether the LCLS-Correlation Request IE may be specified as an optional IE.
2. Whether a BSS implementation may ignore the LCLS Correlation Request IE and always perform call leg correlation
3. SID frame transmission through the CN for LCLS connections
CT plenary asks CT4 and GERAN2 to conclude on these issues during the normative specification work.

6.1
It was found out that no LCLS work is required in CT1, so that can be marked as complete.
SA5 CR numbers were not available at the time of CT1, so the formal CR linkage in the CT1 CRs that depend on those
SA5 CRs is broken and would theoretically require revision of those CT1 CRs in TSG CT when the CR numbers of the
related SA5 CRs become available. Since the WGs are now working more in parallel than they used to in the past very
long releases, this is becoming more important now.
CT Chairman thanked CT1 their good work during this Plenary period.

CT3#59
We had a normal workload this time (324 documents handled) and the meeting could be closed around 14:30 on
Friday.
During the meeting there was a breakout session on PCC topics chaired by Vice-Chairman Qiao Weihua.
Major problems/controversial issues
None.
Major achievements
97 CRs agreed.
Discussion:
This Study Item is aiming to study failure and restoration aspects of the PCRF and the related communication
infrastructure. The work on the TR has progressed well, and is submitted to this plenary for approval. An LS was sent to
CT4 to ask for stage 2 requirements for PCRF Restoration.
CT Plenary agreed that when principles are agreed in CT4 then CT3 can follow the principle.
The first 3 Rel-10 WIDs are already completed
PCRF restoration
No Rel-10 WIs were indicated at this point of being in danger of not being completed by March 2011.
CT Chairman thanked CT3 their good work during this Plenary period.
Decision:

SIPTO
CT4 started the work on SIPTO and agreed a first set of CRs, which are provided in CP-10465 for approval.
LIPA
CT4 started the work on LIPA but did not provide any CRs for approval at this time.
MME restart
CT4 had a discussion on the possible problems which might occur when an MME restarts and loses all his data. In this
case, UE cannot receive incoming packet from external network and cause loss of terminating call in voice service over
LTE. CT4 also discussed some CRs which provided solutions for this problem. CT4 agreed that MME may certainly
fail, but this is not a frequent occasion. This does not meet the criteria for a FASMO, therefore no enhancement was
agreed for Release 8 or 9. Furthermore, CT4 agreed to start working on a TR to analyse the issue of node failure in
detail. The new SID is provided in CP 100473 for approval.
Notification of supported features between peer GTP-C entities
For MAP and Diameter based interfaces, CT4 has introduced a generic framework for dynamic feature discovery. Those
functionalities allow the introduction of features which are not backward compatible. For GTP based interfaces, this had
not been introduced so far. We agreed on a CR to support this dynamic feature discovery also for GTPv2 based
interfaces (see CP-100469).
Any other topics for Release 10
CT4 agreed enhancements and corrections in the following areas:
CP-100466
CP-100522
CP-100468
Enhancements to SMS
CP-100469
Enhancements to GTP
It was agreed that CT Plenary recommends to SA Plenary to accept CR in CP-100572 which allow WGs to use
Microsoft Visio for drafting SDLs.
The latest SA2 meeting was after all the CT WGs so the output of that meeting is not analysed yet.

CP-100472 Enabling Coder Selection and Rate Adaptation for UTRAN and E-UTRAN for Load Adaptive
Applications, CN impacts
Source: CT4
Abstract:
The feasibility study in SA2 for Enabling Codec Selection and Rate Adaptation for UTRAN and E-UTRAN for Load
Adaptive Applications (TR 23.860) has been concluded and has outlined possible new procedures for CN nodes to
support Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) for voice and video as currently defined for MTSI voice applications in
3G TS 26.114. In order to fully support the ECN for RTP traffic and interwork with CS rate control the IMS MGWs and
MGW Controllers need to be updated.
The objective of this work is to investigate and specify the stage 3 protocol aspects to support ECN as defined in TS
26.114 within IMS and also interworking scenarios between IMS and CS. The stage 3 impacts are based primarily on
section TR 23.860 clause 6.4. Proposed enhancements are:
Support of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) by IMS Core Network entities (e.g., MGCF/MGW, IBCF/TrGW
etc) including updates to H.248 profiles to support ECN and its associated parameters. (IMS ALG/IMS-AGW excluded)
Support of RTP/AVPF and SDPCapNeg (where not already supported) by IMS CN nodes
Interworking of adaptation requests from MTSI client and CS network (including ICS and SRVCC) by IMS MGW
and CS MGWs
Decision:
list the different network failure scenarios to be analyzed for EPC nodes: MME, SGSN, SGW and PGW
identify precisely the problems resulting from the current definition of the standards
Discussion:
A new TR number for this study is 3GPP TR 23.857.
In this point it is difficult to indicate if a normative work can be done on Rel-10 time frame. It depends
Decision:
Add volume charging elements as specified in 3GPP TS 32.280 and 3GPP TS 32.299 for IMS in 3GPP TS 24.647.
Enhancements for transmission of AoC Cost information by AoC-D and AoC-E in 3GPP TS 24.647.
Enhancements for transmission of AoC Tariff Information of the XML schema in 3GPP TS 24.647.
Not supported legacy protocol items shall be marked as not applicable from 3GPP TS 24.647.
All enhancements and new AoC features shall be compatible to existing frozen releases and any duplicated solutions in
3GPP and ETSI TISPAN shall be avoided.
Discussion:
Ericsson commented that the related approved CR in CP-100516 should use the same WI than this WID.
Decision:
In a configuration where the UICC is connected to a modem the Card Application Toolkit (CAT) protocol defined in
ETSI TS 102 223 and 3GPP TS 31.111 cannot be fully utilised because it ends at the modem and does not reach the
entities with access to the resources targeted by the protocol (like display and keyboard). As a consequence CAT
commands like DISPLAY TEXT, PLAY TONE or GET INPUT cannot be used in this configuration.
Note: Work on the topic has started in ETSI SCP by defining requirements, use cases and definitions for the extended
AT commands (see ETSI TS 102 412 v10.0.0). As CT1 is responsible for the AT command standard TS 27.007 it is
proposed to continue this work in CT1.
This work item will extend 3GPP TS 27.007 to define AT commands for the exchange of CAT commands between the
UICC and an entity connected to a modem and for the registration with the modem of such services which a connected
entity can perform.
It will also cover an extension that will enable CAT commands to be directly addressed to an entity connected to a
modem.
In addition, enhancements to 3GPP TS 27.007 on management of the PIN code (Command +CPIN) are considered, in
order to reflect the PIN management defined in ETSI TS 102 221.
In order to avoid using generic file access command and to provide quick access to information, the definition of a
dedicated command in order to access the ICCID of the UICC is required.
The functionality intended to be added to 3GPP TS 27.007 will be introduced through the regular 3GPP CR procedure,
and at completion of the work item an acknowledgement from ETSI SCP will be requested.
Discussion:
It was requested if there are any linkage between CT1 WID and CT6 WID,
CT6 Chairman clarified that related CT6 work item target is to clarify the use of AT commands specified by CT1. There
are no direct linkage and the based on discussion in CT#48 two separate WID is needed.
After discussion it was agreed that the work split between CT1 and CT6 is identified.
It was seen that some of the proposed justifications are not needed.
Decision:
IMS communication capability have to be taken into account, and all use cases from the operators to use call control
capability also apply to IMS communications (Voice call over IMS, multimedia telephony, etc.). User experience may
be the same, whatever the underlying data exchange technology is used.
The objective of this work item is to define a Call Control mechanism based on ISIM/USIM, which will apply to IMS
based communications. The Call Control mechanism will allow to initiate, terminate, allow, bar or modify IMS based
communications. The Call Control mechanism shall take into account the case where the called IMPU is a SIP URI or a
tel URI.
Discussion:
It was asked whether the USAT changes would be also applicable on ISIM.
22.038 connection control stage 1 does already cover the UICC initiated CS calls, but it is already known that the
corresponding IMS procedures for UICC initiated calls have substantial challenges and a separate study item has been
started to analyse those.
CT Plenary agreed that the objectives need to be clarified because of possibility of misunderstanding.
CT Plenary agreed that this WI must not proceed to normative work in UICC call initiation area before the study is
completed and the problems related with call initiation are solved.
Decision:
CP-100602 Testing the interworking of ISIM Terminals with the IP Multimedia Subsystem
Source: CT6
Abstract:
Development of conformance test for Rel-8 and onwards terminals with IMS support based on the use of the IP
Multimedia Services Identity Module (ISIM) application.
The objective of this work item proposal is the evaluation of existing test cases and when appropriate specification of
test cases to verify terminal interworking with the ISIM application and USIM application toolkit (USAT) on the UICC
and the IP Multimedia Subsystem, especially in combination with the E-UTRA/EPC. Therefore the ISIM application
specification TS 31.103, the USIM application toolkit specification TS 31.111 and the IP multimedia call control
protocol based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Session Description Protocol (SDP) specification TS 24.229 are
considered in this WI to ensure that the terminal is acting on the network side according to the parameters specified on
the ISIM and vice versa. For IMS related USIM/USAT tests the existing test specifications TS 31.121 and TS 31.124
are reused and will be extended where appropriate.
Evaluation of features and available tests to ensure the correct support of the following features (the list is not
exhaustive):
-
Evaluation of tests and definition/adaptation of test cases to ensure the correct support of the following features
-
Support of IMS with USIM/ISIM interworking: Short Message Service storage on USIM
Decision:
Allocate resources for signaling and media with priority based on subscribed priority or based on priority indicated
by service signaling.
For a terminating IMS session over LTE, a mechanism for the network to detect priority of the session and treat it
with priority.
-
For CS Fallback,
Priority handling of originating and terminating voice call from a service user and enable the target UE to establish
the AS and NAS connection to fall-back to the GERAN/UTRAN/1xRTT.
Impacted stage2 specifications are TS 23.401, TS 23.203, TS 23.228 and TS 23.272 and relevant stage3 specification
work is needed.
The objective of this work item is to specify the stage3 aspect of eMPS according to stage 2 changes, some example
impacts are as follows;
-
update S6a interface for supporting eMPS (for CSFB, IMS, EPS bearer),
update the organization of subscriber data (for CSFB, IMS, EPS bearer),
S102 impacts
Decision:
to discover the support of the feature by the modem via the Terminal profile
to discover the individual terminal profiles for the modem and the connected entity.
to select whether each USAT command shall be sent to the modem or a connected entity
to be notified when connected entities initiate their session with the modem.
to indicate to the modem that the USAT application has no pending activity with the connected entity.
to encrypt/decrypt the data that is exchanged between the USAT application and a connected entity
to check the integrity of the data that is exchanged between the USAT application and a connected entity.
Discussion:
Qualcomm clarified that the use cases are not clear enough. Qualcomm would prefer to postpone WID until the use
cases in 3GPP are specified.
It was seen by several companies that stage 1 service requirements are needed before WID can be approved.
Decision:
Add volume charging elements as specified in 3GPP TS 32.280 and 3GPP TS 32.299 for IMS in 3GPP TS 24.647.
Enhancements for transmission of AoC Cost information by AoC-D and AoC-E in 3GPP TS 24.647.
Enhancements for transmission of AoC Tariff Information of the XML schema in 3GPP TS 24.647.
Not supported legacy protocol items shall be marked as not applicable from 3GPP TS 24.647.
All enhancements and new AoC features shall be compatible to existing frozen releases and any duplicated solutions in
3GPP and ETSI TISPAN shall be avoided.
Decision:
Allocate resources for signaling and media with priority based on subscribed priority or based on priority indicated
by service signaling.
For a terminating IMS session over LTE, a mechanism for the network to detect priority of the session and treat it
with priority.
-
For CS Fallback,
Priority handling of originating and terminating voice call from a service user and enable the target UE to establish
the AS and NAS connection to fall-back to the GERAN/UTRAN/1xRTT.
The impacted stage2 specifications for eMPS are TS 23.401, TS 23.203, TS 23.228 and TS 23.272. The relevant stage3
specification work is needed.
The objective of this work item is to specify the stage3 aspects of eMPS according to stage 2 requirements. Some
example impacts are as follows;
-
update S6a interface for supporting eMPS (for CSFB, IMS, EPS bearer),
update the organization of subscriber data (for CSFB, IMS, EPS bearer),
S102 impacts
Decision:
CP-100475 3GPP TR 23.889 v2.0.1 on Local Call Local Switch System Impacts
Source: Vodafone
Discussion:
It was agreed that CT4 should not spend more time in maintenance of 3GPP TR 23.889 any more, but to concentrate on
the normative work instead. CT Plenary confirmed CT4 proposal with understanding that some errors will be corrected
related to optional solutions only in 3GPP TS.
Ericsson supports the proposed editorial changes made but objects to the specific text that Ericsson requests to be
deleted by CP-100628.
Ericssons understanding of the agreed compromise is that the checks of the encapsulated BSS ID are options and shall
not impose any mandatory behaviour on other nodes, specifically the BSS. This means that a BSS can ignore any
correlation result from such checks, with no restrictions. Currently the TR includes restrictions on this which is not
acceptable to Ericsson.
Since the default behaviour without any of these options is that the BSS must always correlate the call legs when it
receives a GCR this means that the Correlation Request IE is optional and a default behaviour can be specified for the
BSSAP protocol this means there is no reason to mandate the inclusion of LCLS-Correlation-Request IE in the protocol
messages.
The TR contains text in Clause 12.6 indicating that a BSS may send SID frames and that this has no impact on the
MGW. Ericsson objects to this text as it is not correct. There is no technical justification for sending SID frames for a
LCLS connection and it is not correct that it has no impact to the CN. There are proposed optimisations in the TR for
removal of MGW pooled resources and optimised inter-BSS handover that would prevent SID frames from being
transmitted end to end and therefore without any technical reason to send SID frames this should not be permitted and
certainly not endorsed in the standards. If this text is left in the TR due to objections from other companies to remove it
then Ericsson claims that this aspect of the TR is not Approved by consensus and can have no basis for future normative
work.
The document was Revised to CP-100628 to attempt to include the minimum acceptable changes to approve the TR
based on issues raised in CP-100582.
CT Plenary agreed that the following issues are considered still open and need to be further studied by CT4 and
GERAN 2:
1. Whether the LCLS-Correlation Request IE may be specified as an optional IE.
2. Whether a BSS implementation may ignore the LCLS Correlation Request IE and always perform call leg correlation
3. SID frame transmission through the CN for LCLS connections
Some companies would have preferred to take the version in CP-100628 as the way forward, but they did not object to
the approval of this version. Since Ericsson remained the only company that sustained their objection, the document
was approved.
Decision:
The present document contains the results of the study on PCRF failure and restoration.
Target failure and recovery scenarios are detailed; the following scenarios are addressed (incl. roaming):
- Single PCRF deployment (covering also the equivalent scenario of multiple PCRFs with a fixed assignment of
PCRFs);
-
PCRF node failures of different type (e.g. complete outage, loss of dynamic data) and the aspect of reliability in
signaling connections will be studied.
Functional requirements for solutions to handle such cases in a standardized way are defined, considering the network
elements PCRF, PCEF, BBERF, AF and DRA and taking operators preferences into account (e.g. minimal impact on
user experience versus maximal control/minimum risk for the operator).
The study describes the potential solutions, which include procedures and signalling between PCRF and other PCC
related network nodes, and procedures and signalling between Diameter clients (i.e. PCEF/BBERF/AF) and the DRA.
Per solution the impacted 3GPP specifications and the necessary changes therein are listed.
The study report finally evaluates the solutions and draws conclusions with respect to the type of solutions and their
feasibility in terms of implementation effort/complexity.
Discussion:
CT3 Chairman commented that TR contains lot of valuable information for CT4 when they will reply to CT3 LS.
It was commented that the TR does not yet make a choice between the 9 identified solutions and that will be CT3 task
in the future meeting.
Decision:
Decision:
CP-100628 3GPP TR 23.889 v2.0.2 on Local Call Local Switch System Impacts
Source: Ericsson
(Replaces CP-100475)
Discussion:
The main open items that could not be agreed and where no recommendation can be made but more CT4 work is
needed are
Correlation, which entity decides whether to do it or not and based on what signaling?
Informal show of hands indicated exactly the same support for both versions CP-100475 and CP-100628 as the
preferred solution.
When CT Chairman asked how many delegates could live with the two versions, one after another, many delegates
indicated they could have either version, but there was slight majority in favour of CP-100475.
Ericsson indicated that they objected to the approval of CP-100475 due to the specific aspects raised above.

Discussion:
CT1 chairman commented that for CT1 part for TIGHTER (id 480002) GERAN has also made some work on this
topic, but CT1 were not informed of TIGHTER achievements. Same also with Support of multi-operator (id 490001).
The coordination between CT and GERAN needs to be improved in the future.
Huawei commented that Study on Policy and charging Rules Function (PCRF) failure and restoration (id 450001) is not
completed even indicated in WP presentation since there are some open issues on stage 2 level.
CT3 chairman clarified that it was agreed to stop study and go to normative work as soon as stage 2 is clarified by CT4.
CT3 has send a LS to CT4 for clarification of stage 2 requirements. The solution shall be selected during normative
work.
CT Plenary concluded that almost all CT related WI on Rel-9 are done. CT Chairman shall report that the only Rel-9
task in CT area that is not complete is HNB/CSG, which has gone down from 100% to 95% due to recently added new
requirements from SA.
