NOTE The operators and the GSMA have not approved the workarounds in our proposed solution.
Rather, they have stated that it is the responsibility of GSM operators worldwide to make sure
that their infrastructure works correctly and to deploy patches, if necessary, to ensure proper
operation of the infrastructure.
1
2 AMSS software has an algorithm to detect whether the GSM and GPRS networks are R98 or
3 earlier. Based on this information, the UE modifies its behavior in a few limited ways to work
4 around problems found in multiple infrastructure implementations.
5 These problems, observed in the field, are serious problems. Among them is network refusal to
6 provide service to a mobile (which is R99-compliant) or network refusal to provide packet data
7 (GPRS) service to the mobile.
8 Experience indicates that time is needed to ensure proper operation of the deployed infrastructure.
Therefore, for our testing in the field over the last two years, QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies
T

PS
10 has been using these workarounds without problems or side effects. By default, AMSS software
11 releases will continue to use the workaround described in this application note. However, certain
.c 19
12 carriers have indicated that they plan to always disable the workarounds in phones that they use
m 3:
13 and provide to end users. For this purpose, they have requested that we provide a mechanism for
co :0
turning the workaround off, and therefore be in compliance with the GSMA recommendation.

5 The UE supports switching between R5 and R99 through NV items in the NAS and WCDMA
6 access stratum. To access R99 behavior, customers must use the NV item to switch to R99.
7 If the NV item is set to R5, the UE behaves like a 3GPP Release 5 UE. It supports critical and
8 noncritical message extensions for Release 5. It also supports new 3GPP Release 5 features.

14 class of the UE. Currently, the value of 10 can be used as the AMSS software supports multislot
15 class 10. The AMSS software uses the value of 10 as the default for this NV item in case it is
16 inactive or invalid. A value of 10 is recommended for this NV item, unless there is some reason
17 to support a lower multislot configuration.
18 The default value for this item is 12 for AMSS 6280 and later.

29 For GCF testing: A5_2 needs to be disabled for GCF Testing
30 If this NV item is invalid or inactive, the AMSS software uses the value 0x1, which implies that
31 only algorithm A5_1 is enabled. A5/3 is supported on MSM6280™ 2.3C onwards and later
32 chipsets, but not enabled by default. A5/3 is not supported on MSM6250® and MSM6275™
33 ASICs.

5 Set to 0 – The UE sends the SMS over GSM, unless a TBF is active, in which case, the SMS
6 will be sent over GPRS.
7 Set to 1 – The UE sends the SMS over GPRS, unless there is a CS connection, in which case
8 the SMS will be sent over GSM.

21 signaling.
22 Set to 0 – The CLASSMARK 3 signaling will not contain SAIC/DARP feature support.
23 Set to 1 – The CLASSMARK 3 signaling will contain SAIC/DARP feature support.
24 Currently, our AMSS code only supports SAIC/DARP for CS (voice calls) operation only. There
25 is no support available for data (GMSK/8-PSK) calls. Hence, the default value of this NV item
26 should be 0, i.e., SAIC/DARP should not be advertised in the CLASSMARK 3 information.
