    2 Overview of IMSI-based Handover

    The function of shared network in connected mode is introduced in the 3GPP R5. This function can beimplemented at the CN (Core Network) or be substituted by the handover based on the IMSI

    (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) through the RNC.

    When a UE moves from one SNA (Shared Network Areas) to a new SNA, the RNC decides whether ornot the UE is allowed to access the new SNA in compliance with the previously configured mappingbetween IMSIs and SNAs. If the RNC decides that the UE is not allowed to access the new SNA, thenthe UE cannot access the network in that area.

    With this feature, the RNC can prevent the UE in connected mode from being moved to anun-subscribed area without CN support. This feature can also be used as a supplement for implementingshared networks solutions.

    3 Technical Description

    This part will describe the princples of shared network support in connected mode and IMSI-basedhandover and signaling procedure of IMSI-based handover.

    3.1 Principles of Shared Network Support in Connected Mode

    The feature of shared network support in connected mode (WRFD-021301 Shared Network Support inConnected Mode) enables the RNC to obtain shared network parameters and work with the CN to applythe access control over the UE in connected mode to the specified location area. This feature cansupport operation applications for network sharing solutions.

    Based on R99 specifications, when the UE is in idle mode, the CN+UTRAN have mechanisms availableto provide UE-specific access restrictions for LAs of the current PLMN and other PLMNs by usingroaming agreement. But there is no mechanism to restrict UE behavior in connected mode, sinceUTRAN does not have enough information to handle the UE as CN does to UE in idle mode. Accordingly,this feature is introduced in 3GPP R5 and used to provide an access restriction mechanism for UE in

    connected mode.

    To support this function, the RNC obtains the parameters of the shared network support in connectedmode from the messages and information elements (IE), which are defined in 3GPP TS 25.413 and25.423 including:

    The information of the PLMN/SNA that allows the UE to connect to, which is acquired from CN throughRELOCATION REQUEST or COMMON ID message.

    The information of the SNAs that the LAs belong to, which is from CN through INFORMATIONTRANSFER message or from DRNC through RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE and UPLINKSIGNALING TRANSFER messages.

    Each LA belongs to one or several shared network area (SNA), and one UE can belong to one or several

    SNAs. Based on the information, the RNC decides whether the UE is allowed to get services in the newnetwork or not according to the information.

    The following procedures have connection with this feature:

    Cell update

    When the UE initiates cell update in the destination cell, the RNC decides whether the UE is allowed toaccess the destination cell.

    If the UE is not allowed to access the destination cell, the cell update fails.

    URA update

    The URA update is the same as the cell update.

    HandoverDuring the soft handover or the hard handover, the RNC does not send measurement controlindication if the UE is not allowed to access a cell. Therefore, the UE does not trigger a measurementreport of that cell. As a result, the UE cannot be handed over to that cell.

    Relocation

    When the target RNC (TRNC) receives a RELOCATION REQUEST message, it decides whether theUE is allowed to access the destination cell.

    If the UE is not allowed to access the destination cell, the relocation failure procedure is triggered.

    Handling common ID message

    The RNC obtains the IMSI information of the UE in the common ID message and decides whether the

    UE is allowed to access the current cell. If the UE is not allowed to access the current cell, the RRCconnection is released.

    CN must support this feature. When the Iur interface is used, the RNC connected over the interface must also support thisfeature.

    You may enable the feature by setting the switch HO_MC_SNA_RESTRICTION_SWITCH.

    3.2 Principles of IMSI-Based Handover

    The IMSI-based handover (WRFD-021303 IMSI Based Handover) is an alternative solution appliedwhen the CN does not support the function of shared network in connected mode.

    The following mappings must be configured on the RNC to implement the IMSI-based handover feature:

    Mapping Between LAs and SNAs

    Mapping Between IMSIs and SNAs

    An example is provided in Example of the IMSI-Based Handover to describe the principles ofIMSI-based handover.

    3.2.1 Mapping Between LAs and SNAs

    The relationship between LAs and SNAs is a multiple-to-multiple one. In other words, one SNA mayconsist of multiple LAs, and one LA may belong to multiple SNAs.

    Figure 3-1shows an example of the mapping between LAs and SNAs.

    Figure 3-1 Mapping between LAs and SNAs

    In Figure 3-1,

    SNA 1 consists of LA 1, LA 2, LA 3 and LA 4.

    SNA 2 consists of LA 3, LA 4, LA 5 and LA 6.

    LA 3 belongs to SNA 1 and SNA 2.

    LA 4 belongs to SNA 1 and SNA 2.

    Each LA is identified by MCCand LAC.

    Each SNA is identified by SNAC.

    3.2.2 Mapping Between IMSIs and SNAs

    The SNA that a UE is allowed to access is configured on the RNC side. Each UE is identified by an IMSI.To configure more than one UE at the same time, set a range of IMSIs so that all the UEs within therange are configured together. The range is set by ImsiMinand ImsiMax.

    The IMSI ranges can be set the same but cannot overlap each other.

    The SNA that the UE is allowed to access is specified by the combination of the following parameters:MCC, MNC, SnaExistInd, and SNAC.

    3.2.3 Example of the IMSI-Based Handover

    When a UE is moving, the RNC allows the UE to access the target cell if an overlapped area existsbetween the SNA to which the LA of the target cell belongs and the SNA that the UE (that is, the IMSI) isallowed to access. Otherwise, the RNC does not allow the UE to access the target cell.

    For example,

    Cell 1 belongs to LA 1, and LA 1 belongs to SNA 1.

    Cell 2 belongs to LA 2, and LA 2 belongs to SNA 2.

    Cell 3 belongs to LA 3, and LA 3 belongs to SNA 3.

    A range of IMSIs, 460001234100000 to 460001234200000, are mapped to SNA 1 and SNA 2.

    The IMSI of the UE is 460001234150001, and the UE camps on cell 1 currently.

    In this situation, when the UE moves, the UE is allowed to access cell 2 but cannot access cell 3.

    Each UE belongs to a maximum of 6 PLMNs (Public Land Mobile Networks). Each PLMN correspondsto a maximum of 32 SNAs. Each LA belongs to a maximum of 32 SNAs.

    3.3 Signaling Procedure of IMSI-Based Handover

    The procedures affected by the IMSI-based handover are RRC establishment, cell update, URA update,handover, relocation, and common ID handling. In these procedures, the RNC performs access controlon the UE in compliance with the mapping between IMSIs and SNAs.

    3.3.1 RRC Establishment

    The UE initiates the RRC (Radio Resource Control) establishment procedure by using an RRCCONNECTION REQUEST message.

    If this message carries IMSI information, the RNC decides whether to allow the UE to access the cellor not.

    If the RNC allows the UE to access the cell, the UE can access the cell.

    If the RNC does not allow the UE to access the cell, the RNC sends an RRC CONNECTIONREJECT message to the UE.

    If this message does not carry IMSI information, the RRC connection is established normally.

    3.3.2 Cell Update

    When the UE initiates a cell update in the target cell, the RNC decides whether the UE has access to thetarget cell or not.

    If the UE does not have access to the target cell, the cell update fails.

    3.3.3 URA Update

    The URA update is the same as the cell update.

    3.3.4 Handover

    During a soft handover or a hard handover, the RNC does not send a MEASUREMENT CONTROLmessage if the UE does not have access to a cell. Therefore, the UE does not trigger a measurementreport of that cell. As a result, the UE cannot be handed over to that cell.

    The RNC does not select the cell that the UE is not allowed to access as the target cell when a blindhandover is triggered.

    3.3.5 Relocation

    When the Target RNC receives a RELOCATION REQUEST message, it decides whether the UE hasaccess to the target cell or not.

    If the UE does not have access to the target cell, the relocation failure procedure is triggered.

    3.3.6 Common ID Handling

    The RNC obtains the IMSI information of the UE from the COMMON ID message and decides whetherthe UE has access to the current cell or not.

    If the UE does not have access to the current cell, the RRC connection is released.

It is invalid IfSYS_INFO_UPDATE_FOR_IU_RST is not checked.10)CR2284R1_SWITCH.in section 8.6.6.28 of TS25.331of R5 Before 2006, it describes that the HFN should addone when UE is ciphering in the situation of Timingre-initialized hard handover,while not specified in RBSETUP process in the section of 8.6.4.3. so it is not clearwhether to add or not in RB SETUP in DRD scenarios.CR2284R1 clarify that HFN should add one in RB SETUP

    process with Timing re-initialized hard handover.when it is checked ,RNC accepts this CR2284R1;when it is not checked ,RNC does not accept thisCR2284R1.11)CR2284R1_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH.CR2284R1causes the compatible problem.if UE is not consistentwith RNC regarding whether accept the CR2284R1 ornot,it will cause the problem of streaming when UEs arecommunicating with each other.So RNC creates thisswitch .when it is checked, RNC is auto-adaptive to accept theCR2284R1 according to UE version information.

    The principles that RNC judges UE whether toaccept the CR2284R1 are as follows:R5 and above UE accepts the CR;R99/R4 UE ,if it receives the START LIST value

    from RB SETUP COMPLETE,RNC figures that UEaccepts the CR;

    R99/R4 UE ,if it only receives the START valuefrom RB SETUP COMPLETE,RNC figures that UE doesnot accept the CR ;when it is not checked, whether RNC accept the CR ornot is according to CR2284R1_SWITCH.The relations between these two switchesCR2284R1_SWITCH and

    CR2284R1_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH are as follows:(1)CR2284R1_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH is checked, RNCis self-compatible,so the CR2284R1_SWITCH is invalid;(2)CR2284R1_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH is not checked,the CR2284R1_SWITCH is valid.12)CDT_MSG_FULL_TRACE:When it is checked,CDTtrace function which starts tracing from message RRCCONNECT REQUEST.13)COMBINE_OPERATION_DRD_SWITCH.When it ison,RNC will not reject the message RB SETUP CMPwithout the IE active time.14)UL_INTER_PROTECT_SWITCH.When the switch is

    off,RNC will not do integrity protection check for
