13 Information Storage p. 303

This clause describes information storage structures required for GPRS, and the recovery and restoration procedures needed to maintain service if inconsistencies in databases and lost or invalid database information occur.

13.1 HLR/HSS p. 303

IMSI is the prime key to the subscription data stored in the HLR/HSS. There may be several sets of PS subscription data per IMSI. This is illustrated in Figure 93.

Reproduction of 3GPP TS 23.060, Fig. 93: Subscription Data

Figure 93: Subscription Data

As Figure 93 indicates, the PS subscription data is at the same level as basic services. Each PDP subscription is seen as a basic service. Supplementary services are provisioned as part of the overall subscription. Activation of SSs is either at the basic service level (SS1) or at the overall subscription level (SS2).

Table 5 shows the GPRS/EPS subscription data contained in the HLR/HSS.

When available, it shall be used to construct the GGSN/PDN-GW FQDN instead of UE level APNOI Replacement. See TS 23.003, clause 9.1.2 for more information on the format of domain names that are allowed in this field.

Possible values are: maintain the PDN connection; disconnect the PDN connection with a reactivation request; disconnect PDN connection without reactivation request; or to leave it to local VPLMN policy.
NOTE 1: IMEI and SVN are stored in HLR/HSS when the Automatic Device Detection feature is supported, see clause 15.5. NOTE 2: In this specification, the values "prohibited for SIPTO" and "allowed for SIPTO excluding SIPTO at the local network" correspond to the pre Rel 12 values "prohibited for SIPTO" and "allowed for SIPTO". Actual coding of these values belongs to Stage 3 domain. NOTE 3: For an S4-SGSN there may be at most two default APNs for a given user. One default APN can belong to either of the three PDN types of "IPv4", "IPv6", or "IPv4v6", and another default APN can belong to PDN type of "Non-IP".

An expired CSG subscription should not be removed from the HLR/HSS subscription data before it is removed from the MS's Allowed CSG list or Operator CSG list. When a CSG subscription is cancelled it should be handled as an expired subscription in HLR/HSS subscription data to allow for removing it from MS's Allowed CSG list or Operator CSG list first.

If the LIPA permission and SIPTO permission flags are both included for a particular APN, they shall be set in a consistent manner, e.g. if the LIPA permission is set to LIPA-only or LIPA-conditional, the SIPTO permission shall be set to SIPTO-prohibited. Conversely, if the SIPTO permission indicates the APN is a SIPTO-allowed APN, the LIPA permission shall be set to LIPA-prohibited. A SIPTO-allowed APN is an APN for which the SIPTO permission is set to allowed for SIPTO excluding SIPTO at the local network, allowed for SIPTO including SIPTO at the local network or allowed for SIPTO at the local network only.

13.2 SGSN p. 306

13.2.1 General |R8| p. 306

SGSN maintains MM context and PDP/EPS bearer context information for MSs in the STANDBY, READY, PMM IDLE, and PMM CONNECTED states. Table 6 shows the context fields for one MS.

During the Intersystem Change, when new Authentication and Key Agreement is not performed, the KSI in the new 3G-SGSN shall be assigned the value of the CKSN, which has been sent by the MS. Similarly, in the new 2G-SGSN, when AKA does not take place, the CKSN shall be assigned the value of the KSI, which has been sent by the MS.

13.2.2 Parameter exchange between S4-SGSNs |R8| p. 306

The S4-SGSN also maintains parameters related to MME use without interpreting them.

For that reason the MM Context and PDP/EPS Bearer Context also includes information that is used by MME but only stored and forwarded by SGSN.

NOTE 1: The SGSN might not have information on the allocated IPv4 address. Alternatively, following mobility involving a pre-Release 8 SGSN, this IPv4 address might not be the one allocated to the MS. NOTE 2: APN Restriction, CGI/SAI/RAI change support indication, MS Info Change Reporting Action and CSG Information Reporting Action shall not be transferred between SGSNs during mobility management, unless the connectivity between the SGSNs is based on S16. NOTE 3: When the SGSN is connected with a S-GW through S4, then the Charging Id is only applicable for online charging with CAMEL as specified in clause 15.1.0. NOTE 4: The PDN-GW TEID is needed in SGSN context as S-GW relocation is triggered without interaction with the source S-GW. The Target S-GW requires this Information Element, so it must be stored by the SGSN. NOTE 5: The PDN-GW IP address is needed in SGSN context as S-GW relocation is triggered without interaction with the source. The Target S-GW requires this Information Element, so it must be stored by the SGSN. NOTE 6: The low access priority indicator is only stored for the purpose to be included in charging records.

The information marked with a "1)" in Table 6 may be maintained if authentication is performed by the UMTS authentication procedure.

The information marked with a "2)" in Table 6 may be maintained if authentication is performed by the GSM authentication procedure.

The information marked with a "3)" in Table 6 is optional. It can be sent to a new SGSN at RA update.

The information marked with a "4)" in Table 6 is used in networks that support network sharing as defined in TS 23.251.

The information marked with a "5)" in Table 6 is used in UTRAN only.

13.2.4 SGSN Emergency Configuration Data for Iu Mode |R9| p. 312

The SGSN Emergency Configuration Data is used instead of UE subscription data received from the HSS or the parameters provided by UE in the PDP context created by the PDP Context Activation Procedure for emergency service.

Table 6A: SGSN Emergency Configuration Data

Field	Description
Emergency Access Point Name (em APN)	A label according to DNS naming conventions describing the access point used for Emergency Bearers (wild card not allowed).
Emergency QoS profile	The bearer level QoS parameter values for Emergency APN's PDP context created by the PDP Context Activation Procedure.
Emergency Evolved ARP	The Evolved ARP value to be used for Emergency APN's PDP context created by the PDP Context Activation Procedure

Emergency PDN-GW/GGSN identity	The statically configured identity of the PDN-GW/GGSN used for emergency APN. The PDN-GW/GGSN identity may be either an FQDN or an IP address.

If the S4-SGSN is used, the Emergency EPS QoS profile (QCI and ARP) is configured. The ARP is an ARP value reserved for emergency bearers. The QCI for Emergency APN's PDP context created by the PDP Context Activation Procedure is set per operator configuration.

If Gn/Gp SGSN is used, the Emergency GPRS QoS profile (Traffic class, Signalling Indication) and Emergency Evolved ARP is used. The Traffic class and Signalling Indication is set per operator configurations. The Emergency Evolved ARP is an Evolved ARP value reserved for emergency bearers.

The information marked with a "1)" in Table 8 may be maintained if authentication is performed by the UMTS authentication procedure.

The information marked with a "2)" in Table 8 may be maintained if authentication is performed by the GSM authentication procedure.

The information marked with a "U" in Table 8 shall be stored in the USIM.

The information marked with a "G" in Table 8:

shall be stored in the GSIM if the connected SIM is GPRS-aware; and
may be stored in the ME after GPRS detach if the connected GSIM is not GPRS-aware.

If the GSIM is GPRS service-aware, then the IMSI, P-TMSI, P-TMSI Signature, Routeing Area, Kc, and CKSN stored in the GSIM shall be used for GPRS services.

If the GSIM is not GPRS service-aware, the P-TMSI, P-TMSI Signature, Routeing Area, Kc, and CKSN stored in the ME shall be used if and only if the IMSI stored in the GSIM is identical to the IMSI image maintained in the ME. If the IMSI stored in the GSIM is different from the IMSI image in the ME, the IMSI image in the ME shall not be used, and the MS shall identify itself with the IMSI stored in the SIM when performing a GPRS attach. IMSI, P-TMSI, P-TMSI Signature, Routeing Area, Kc, and CKSN may be stored in the ME after the GPRS attach has been successfully performed.

When using a USIM, the IMSI, P-TMSI, P-TMSI Signature, Routeing Area, Kc, CK Next, IK Next, and CKSN / KSI stored in the USIM, and the CK and IK stored in the ME, shall be used for GPRS services.
