1 Scope p. 6
The scope of the present document is to study improvements of awareness of user location change in connected mode e.g. for differentiated charging and/or QoS.
Solutions will be studied for following areas:
- Extending the existing PRA change reporting mechanism for both UE dedicated and CN predefined PRA to support multiple PRAs per PDN connection.
- Optimizing signalling load in PLMN partitioning scenario.
2 References p. 6
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
- References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non specific.
- For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
- For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.

3.1 Definitions p. 6
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 and the following apply.
A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905.
PLMN Partition:
A set of non-overlapping PLMN Partition Areas covering the PLMN configured by the operator for the purpose of reporting the move of a UE in connected mode between PLMN Partition Areas.
PLMN Partition Area:
A Core Network pre-configured area defined within 3GPP Packet Domain. In case of E-UTRAN, a PLMN Partition Area may consist in a set of neighbour or non-neighbour Tracking Areas, eNBs and/or cells.

4 Architectural Assumptions and Requirements p. 7
PRA change reporting for multiple PRAs simultaneously shall be possible for a PDN connection.
The introduction of PRA change reporting for multiple PRAs should be backward compatible with existing PRA reporting.
Extending the PRA mechanisms shall not jeopardize the reduced CN signalling load as was achieved when introduced by the CNO_ULI WI.
