2.5 Data related to basic services p. 37

2.5.1 Provision of bearer service p. 37

Provision of bearer service is a parameter identifying whether a bearer service is provisioned to the mobile subscriber or not. This provision can be achieved through subscription of the mobile subscriber or the bearer service can be generally available. The parameter "provision of bearer service" must be set for the bearer service defined in TS 22.002 for which a subscription is required.

Provision of bearer service is permanent subscriber data and is stored in the HLR and VLR.

2.5.2 Provision of teleservice p. 37

Provision of teleservice is a parameter identifying whether a teleservice is provisioned to the mobile subscriber or not. This provision can be achieved through subscription of the mobile subscriber or the teleservice can be generally available. The parameter "provision of teleservice" must be set for the teleservices defined in GSM 02.03 [36] for which a subscription is required.

Provision of teleservice is permanent subscriber data and is stored in the HLR, Gn/Gp-SGSN and VLR.

2.5.3 Bearer capability allocation p. 37

Bearer capability allocation is a parameter stored against each ISDN number in the case when the Home PLMN allocates one directory number per teleservice and bearer service. In this case it is used to permit the establishment of the correct bearer capability on the connection to the MS. (See TS 29.007). The bearer capability allocation is not required when the Home PLMN only allocates one directory number per subscriber for all bearer services and teleservices. It is permanent data stored conditionally in theTS 43.020.

2.5.4 Transfer of SM option p. 38

Transfer of SM option is a parameter indicating which path should be used for transfer of Terminating Short Message when GPRS is not supported by the GMSC. Two options are possible:

transfer of SM via the MSC when GPRS is not supported in the GMSC: this option is used to indicate that SM shall always be sent via the MSC when the GMSC does not support the GPRS functionality;
transfer of SM via the Gn/Gp-SGSN when GPRS is not supported in the GMSC: this option is used to indicate that SM shall always be sent via the Gn/Gp-SGSN when the GMSC does not support the GPRS functionality.

Transfer of SM option is permanent subscriber data stored in HLR for a GPRS subscription.

The data has an interim nature since in the final solution, the decision on SM Transfer is taken in the SMS-GMSC.

2.6 Data related to supplementary services p. 38

Subscriber data related to supplementary services are contained in the 3GPP TS 23.08x and 3GPP TS 23.09x series of Technical Specifications, that is TS 23.081 and following describing the network functionality of supplementary services. Additionally, subscriber data related to the Multicall (MC) supplementary service are contained in TS 23.135.

There is no data type which is mandatory for all supplementary services; note that the provision status is mandatory for all supplementary services except CUG, TS 23.085. All other data are conditional depending on the provision.

2.7 Mobile station status data p. 38

2.7.1 IMSI detached flag p. 38

IMSI detached;
IMSI attached.

The parameter is temporary subscriber data and is stored conditionally in the VLR.

2.7.2 Mobile station Not Reachable for GPRS (MNRG) p. 38

In HLR, MNRG indicates whether the MS is marked as GPRS detached or GPRS not reachable in the Gn/Gp-SGSN and possibly in the GGSN. The reason why the MS is GPRS not reachable is indicated in the Mobile Not Reachable via SGSN Reason (MNRR-SGSN).

In Gn/Gp-SGSN, MNRG indicates whether activity from the MS shall be reported to the HLR.

In GGSN, MNRG indicates whether the MS is marked as GPRS detached in the Gn/Gp-SGSN.

MNRG is described in TS 23.060. It is temporary subscriber data stored in the HLR, in the Gn/Gp-SGSN and in the GGSN.

2.7.3 Mobility Management State p. 38

The Mobility Management State indicates the GPRS state of the MS. It takes one of three possible values:

READY: The MS is GPRS attached and its location is known at Cell Identity level.
STANDBY: The MS is GPRS attached and its location is known at Routing Area level.
IDLE: The MS is not GPRS attached.

The parameter is described in TS 23.060. It is temporary subscriber data stored in the SGSN.
