Location Services (LCS) support in Evolved Packet Core (EPC) for non-3GPP accesses
TR
1.0.0
S1
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/22_series/22.913/22913-100.zip
This Technical Report (TR) presents the results of the Study on LCS support for non-3GPP accesses. One main concept of EPC is to support a variety of different access systems (existing and future) ensuring mobility and service continuity between these access systems. In that perspective, the LCS support for non 3GPP accesses should be also taken into account. However, historically, TS 22.071 has been applicable only to 3GPP accesses and any new requirements for non 3GPP accesses have not been discussed yet. Therefore we need to consider how to support LCS in EPC for non 3GPP accesses, e.g. 3GPP2 and WiMAX. Supporting LCS in EPC for non 3GPP access does not necessarily mean that all positioning methods available in various kinds of non 3GPP accesses should be supported in EPC or inventing new positioning methods for other accesses. However, how to realize the presentation of location information in EPC when users are connected in non 3GPP accesses should be at least taken into account. In addition, the service scenarios should be discussed whether new service requirements are needed for the users camping on non 3GPP accesses through EPC. This work will examine whether requirements in TS 22.071 would be applicable for non 3GPP accesses and specify new service requirements for the users connected to non 3GPP accesses through EPC. Consideration will be given, but not limited, to the following: • High level requirements of LCS support for non 3GPP accesses; • Location information provided to the LCS client for non 3GPP accesses; • QoS requirements of LCS support for non 3GPP accesses. • Priority between different LCS services for non 3GPP accesses. • Privacy requirements of LCS support for non 3GPP accesses. • Periodic location report of LCS services for non 3GPP accesses. • Impact on the LCS client and the LCS server to support LCS services for non 3GPP accesses

TR
0.9.0
S2
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.848/23848-090.zip
The objective of this document is to analyse and identify enhancements needed in the current 3GPP IMS interconnection architecture driven by the needs that new business models/service delivery scenarios impose at the interconnection points of the IMS operators. The present document will covers network to network interconnection as main objective and addresses the issues related to both control and user plane functionalities including: - signalling treatment, - numbering/naming/addressing, - IP interworking, - policy management, - e2e QoS, - transcoding, - security, - charging. The purpose of this document is to formulate architectural solutions for the enhanced functionalities identified to cover all IMS operator’s needs in this widespread environment. These solutions should be applicable for an IMS operator in a common IMS environment (i.e. regardless the access being used) as well as for direct and indirect interconnection paradigms. Finally, the best solution/s should be agreed and impacted normative work in 3GPP identified to update current 3GPP specifications with the output of this work.

C4
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.884/23884-010.zip
The present document provides a study into the Core Network impacts for providing a solution for Local Call Local Switching. The document analyses and evaluates different solutions to determine the benefits provided compared to the identified impacts. Specific considerations are given to the following areas:- - Sending of potential correlation information between the two legs of the call to be sent to the BSS (e.g. in case of MSC pooling) - Triggering to enable/release Local Call Local Switch (e.g. based on activation of Supplementary Services, etc.) - Support of existing Supplementary Services - Support of existing Lawful Intercept functionality - Impacts to the user plane handling on the A-interface - Impacts to the MSC-S – MGW Interface (Mc Interface) The solution(s) considered for local call local switch should keep the core network impacts to a minimum, e.g. the impacts on the nodal functions, existing call flows, call establishment and call release. The contents of this report when stable shall determine the modifications to existing core network specifications.

Study into network selection requirements for non-3GPP access
TR
8.0.0
S1
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/22_series/22.812/22812-800.zip
The present document considers the network selection procedures requirements for non-3GPP access types. The network selection principles covered include both automatic and manual selection. Also considered is the operator management of network preferences for non-3GPP access types and how the device accesses networks offered through non-3GPP access. Non-3GPP access includes any method by which the UE is connected either to a core network or to a server other than by using the radio bearers standardised by 3GPP. Examples are: BlueTooth, WLAN and fixed (wired connections). UEs considered in this study are UEs able to connect to a non-3GPP network in addition to its 3GPP capabilities (i.e. dual mode, multi-mode UEs). This work in this TR is applicable to GSM and UMTS and there are no additional considerations of EPS (Evolved Packet System). Roaming and handover conditions between 3GPP and non-3GPP networks is not under the scope of this document and will not be treated here. They may be referred to, however, for the consistency of use cases and access description consistency. Connection to a 3GPP operator's core network by WLAN is out of scope where this is I-WLAN. This is covered in [2]. Use of the Generic Access Network is out of scope. Considerations of tariffing are out of scope.

TR
0.3.1
S2
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.982/23982-031.zip
This document contains the results of the feasibility study into the architectural requirements and alternatives for the delivery of consistent services to the user mainly via IMS centralized services regardless of the attached access type; e.g. CS domain access or IP-CAN. Considerations include overall requirements, architectural requirements, alternative architectures and evaluation of potential architectural solutions. The study considers how to access IMS-based multimedia telephony services while still allowing innovative services. It includes investigation into call/session establishment via CS domain access and IP-CAN and for calls/sessions transferred across CS domain access and IP-CAN, including the interactions with domain selection. It provides consideration for the handling of the multiple medias that are enabled by the multimedia telephony communication service. The solution should be applicable for terminals with VCC capabilities and for non-VCC capable terminals. Impact on legacy terminals with the same subscription (e.g. SIM swapping) should be studied. The second objective of the study is an investigation into the means to support and the need of the evolution of a network towards the IMS centralized services architecture. The assumption for this evolution is that some networks may not immediately migrate all services to the IMS centralized services architecture. In addition, given that some calls may not be rerouted to IMS during the migratory period, the study shall also investigate how to ensure that equivalent services are implemented in IMS and CS.

Dual-cell High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) operation
TR
1.0.0
R1
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/25_series/25.825/25825-100.zip
The present document is intended to capture findings produced in the context of the Feasibility Study on Dual-Cell HSDPA operation [1]. The work under this study item aims at assessing the feasibility, benefits and complexity of combining network radio resources (i.e. cells) to achieve enhanced user experience and enhanced user experience consistency. The assessment focuses on scenarios with the following constraints: • The dual cell operation only applies to downlink HS-DSCH. • The two cells belong to the same Node-B and are on different carriers. • The two cells do not use MIMO to serve UEs configured for dual cell operation. • Primary priority: The two cells operate on adjacent carrier frequencies in the same frequency band. Other allocations can be considered with lower priority In order to characterize benefits of Dual-Cell HSDPA operation, possible enhancements of performance throughout the cell and in particular in the outer area of the cell coverage are evaluated considering: • UE receiver impairments caused by the implementation of dual-cell operation, • Node B scheduler architecture (per carrier or joint scheduler), • Load balancing when coupled with joint scheduling vs. per carrier scheduling. Furthermore, impacts on implementation and complexity within the UTRA and UE, impacts systems operation (e.g. UL controlchannel coverage and operation of legacy UE), and impacts on the core specifications due to introducing Dual-Cell HSDPA operation are identified.

This document studies the security architecture, i.e. the security features and the security mechanisms for inter-access mobility between 3GPP access system and non-3GPP access systems. For the general architecture for inter-access mobility cf. TR 23.882. This report is meant to provide more detail on the security aspects of inter-access mobility. The scope should be extended to the mobility between two non-3GPP access systems, which interwork with 3GPP core entities. An example would be the mobility between two WLAN access systems providing 3GPP IP access. Disclaimer: This TR reflects the discussions held in 3GPP SA3 while 3GPP SA3 was working towards TS 33.402 [14]. This TR may therefore be useful to better understand the basis on which decisions in TS 33.402 [14] were taken, and which alternatives were under discussion. However, none of the text in this TR shall be quoted as reflecting 3GPP’s position in any way. Rather, 3GPP’s position on security for non-3GPP access to EPS is reflected in the normative text in TS 33.402 [14]. Information in the TR may be inaccurate and outdated. One example of outdated text can be found in clauses 4.1 and 4.2 on alternatives for authentication protocols. The choices of authentication protocols finally made by 3GPP can be found in TS 33.401 [13] and TS 33.402 [14] respectively.

The present document describes architecture changes for Voice over IMS service to allow enhancement of radio performances in RAN. This work focuses on the PS domain with the assumption that voice services are supported in this domain. Two radio optimization methods have been identified to provide radio optimisation for VoIMS: Unequal Error Protection (UEP) and Header Removal (HR). With the information currently available in RNC, RNC cannot use these optimisation methods. More study is then needed to describe which additional information are needed by RNC and how these information can be provided to RNC. Radio optimisations for the SIP signalling are out of the scope of this TR. The study will focus on the bearer optimisation for user data. Radio optimisations with no architecture impact outside the UTRAN are out of the scope of this TR.

GRUU is a URI, the creation and use of which is defined in an IETF specification draft-ietf-sip-gruu-0 [1] in order to route SIP messages to a specific SIP User Agent (UA) instance. The support of GRUU in IMS is to enable routing of SIP messages to a specific instance of a registered public user identity even when a single public user id is registered from multiple UEs.

The present document is a temporary container for a stage-2 like description of an architecture that uses direct tunnelling of user plane data between the RNC and the GGSN, which is known as One Tunnel approach. The content of this report when stable will be moved into 3GPP Technical Specification TS 23.060 [1]. This report will further develop the One Tunnel approach described in TR 23.873 [2] and identify what changes are needed to PS core and potentially to UTRAN functionalities and protocols to support the One Tunnel functionality. This include the investigation of the functions added after Rel‑4 up to Rel‑6 (e.g. Iu-flex, Network sharing, MBMS, etc) and either verify that they are not affected or address any conflicts between these functions and the One Tunnel function. The resulting system architecture shall be fully interoperable with pre-Rel‑7 nodes and it should retain the existing network capabilities, or those that cannot be delivered need to be clearly documented.

Feasibility study on enhancement of radio performances for Voice over IMS (VoIMS); Report on Technical options and conclusions
TR
0.1.0
S2
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.817/23817-010.zip
The present document describes architecture changes for Voice over IMS service to allow enhancement of radio performances in RAN. This work focuses on the PS domain with the assumption that voice services are supported in this domain. Two radio optimization methods have been identified to provide radio optimisation for VoIMS: Unequal Error Protection (UEP) and Header Removal (HR). With the information currently available in RNC, RNC cannot use these optimisation methods. More study is then needed to describe which additional information are needed by RNC and how these information can be provided to RNC. Radio optimisations for the SIP signalling are out of the scope of this TR. The study will focus on the bearer optimisation for user data. Radio optimisations with no architecture impact outside the UTRAN are out of the scope of this TR.

Quality of Service (QoS) and policy aspects of 3GPP - Wirless Local Area Network (WLAN) interworking
TR
1.0.0
S2
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.836/23836-100.zip
Some 3GPP PS based services (e.g. VoIP over IMS, PS streaming, etc) require strict QoS provisioning. In order to support such services over I-WLAN, QoS Provisioning in 3GPP-WLAN Interworking is required. IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards are currently not supporting QoS mechanisms, therefore QoS provisioning was not considered in Rel-6 work for 3GPP-WLAN Interworking. As IEEE is currently finalizing QoS amendments to 802.11 WLAN standards, QoS-related aspects of the 3GPP-WLAN architecture should be studied. In the context of end-to-end QoS provisioning being studied in TR 23.802, provisioning of QoS within I-WLAN as an IP-CAN is important. It shall be defined if and how QoS provisioning in I-WLAN can interact with the end-to-end QoS framework. Flow based charging and service/subscription based policy control are studied in TR 23.803 as generic features to support the access to PS based services from different IP-CANs. In order to leverage the generic charging and service/subscription based policy control within I-WLAN as another IP-CAN, the Gateway element in case of 3GPP-WLAN Interworking has to provide the needed functionalities, e.g. for Policy Enforcement. The followings are objectives of the document. - investigate the necessity and reliability of the applicable QoS mechanism between the WLAN UE and PDG, and the possible impacts to the 3GPP-WLAN interworking entities; - ensure that the architecture for 3GPP/WLAN Interworking defined by TS 23.234 is supported by the following QoS-related mechanisms being developed in 3GPP: a. E2E QoS architecture being studied in TR 23.802; b. Policy and charging evolution capabilities being studied in TR 23.803.

The present document investigates architectural requirements and architectural alternatives for using existing CS bearers in association with an IM session. The document considers overall requirements, architectural requirements, considerations for evaluation of potential architectural solutions and proposed alternative architectures. The Feasibility Study covers different solutions for offering existing IMS simultaneous services (real-time media + non-real-time media) also in GERAN, where conversational PS spectrum efficiency is too low. The target is to seek for an architectural solution that is completely transparent for the end-user, and is easily interoperable with existing IMS services&networks that don’t use this solution. The solutions studied within the Feasibility Study are not necessarily restricted by existing service requirements. However, if an alternative is chosen to be included in specifications, it must be cross-checked with existing service requirements.

The study done in this TR focuses on transmit diversity methods with more than 2 antennas at the Node B and 1 antenna at the UE. The functionality introduced to support more than 2 antennas at the Node B could permit consideration of compatible operation with 2 antennas. A proposal for a new transmit diversity method using multiple antennas may be included in the TR if at least the following requirements are fulfilled: a) it should be shown that there is significant benefit in at least one realistic scenario, e.g. one of the (multi-)path models of table 7; for closed loop methods also feedback errors and delays need to be considered. b) the description should be detailed enough to see how it fits into the current specification (so it is in principle clear what changes need to be done). c) relevant R99 schemes should be used as reference cases depending on the proposal (open or closed loop, or both) d) backwards compatibility needs to be addressed This evaluation of different transmit diversity schemes for multiple antennas is within the scope of this TR.

The purpose of this TR is to help TSG RAN WG1 to define and describe potential power control enhancements under consideration and compare the benefits of each enhancement with earlier releases for improving system capacity or coverage in UTRA, along with a complexity and backwards compatibility evaluation of each technique. The impact beyond the physical layer of each proposed technique shall clearly be addressed. This activity involves the Radio Access Network work area of the 3GPP studies and has impacts both on the Mobile Equipment and Access Network of the 3GPP systems. This document is intended to gather all information in order to compare the solutions and system gains vs. complexity and draw a conclusion on a way forward.

UTRAN recommendation and UE allowance for non-essential corrections of a feature made only in a later release
TR
0.0.1
R2
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/25_series/25.998/25998-001.zip
The present document identifies functional errors in a given Release of the UTRAN technical specifications which, due to their late discovery and inessential nature, have not been corrected until a later Release. For each such error, the approved corrective changes (pertaining to later Releases) are identified and guidance is offered as to whether and how they may be incorporated into the design of an earlier Release UTRAN and / or UE. The present document provides recommended measures which may be adopted by UTRAN when a feature which belongs to a given release is found (totally or partially).erroneous but has only been corrected in a later release due to the late discovery and the non-essential nature of the correction. For these features, this TR also describes whether a UE is allowed to implement the correction in the release where the feature belongs i.e. before the actual release in which the CR was made, so as to enable the same UE behaviour (implementation) irrespective of the release, as a facility to UE manufacturers and without any intension to provide this information to the network (“Early UE” , which applies to essential corrections, should not apply here).

N5
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/29_series/29.199/29199-101.zip
The present document specifies an initial set of Parlay X Web Services. For each selected Web Service, this document describes the motivation for its inclusion, the commercial and technical rationale, and an illustrative usage scenario(s). This document also specifies the message(s) exchanged during invocations of each Web Service, by defining the semantics in English and the syntax using W3C WSDL. The OSA APIs are designed to enable creation of telephony applications as well as to "telecom-enable" IT applications. IT developers, who develop and deploy applications outside the traditional telecommunications network space and business model, are viewed as crucial for creating a dramatic whole-market growth in next generation applications, services and networks. The Parlay X Web Services are intended to stimulate the development of next generation network applications by developers in the IT community who are not necessarily experts in telephony or telecommunications. The selection of Web Services should be driven by commercial utility and not necessarily by technical elegance. The goal is to define a set of powerful yet simple, highly abstracted, imaginative, telecommunications capabilities that developers in the IT community can both quickly comprehend and use to generate new, innovative applications.

Bootstrapping of application security using AKA and support for subscriber certificates; System description
TS
0.3.0
S3
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/33_series/33.109/33109-030.zip
The present document describes the security features and a mechanism to bootstrap authentication and key agreement for application security from the 3GPP AKA mechanism. Candidate applications to use this bootstrapping mechanism include but are not restricted to subscriber certificate distribution, etc. Subscriber certificates support services whose provision mobile operator assists, as well as services that mobile operator provides. The scope of this specification includes two parts. The first part presents a generic AKA bootstrapping function, an architecture overview and the detailed procedure how to bootstrap the credential. The second part is the requirement for applications utilizing the bootstrapping function, as well as the procedure of the utilization. Specifically the present document presents signalling procedures for support of issuing certificates to subscribers and the standard format of certificates and digital signatures. It is not intended to duplicate existing standards being developed by other groups on these topics, and will reference these where appropriate. Editor’s note: The specification objects are scheduled currently in phases. For the first phase of standardisation, only the case is considered where bootstrapping server functionality and network application function are located in the same network as the HSS. In later phases, other configurations may be considered.

(Universal) Subscriber Interface Module (U)SIM security reuse by peripheral devices on local interfaces
TR
0.7.3
S3
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/33_series/33.917/33917-073.zip
This feasibility study report conducts a threat analysis and determines the feasibility of Reuse of a Single (U)SIM, USIM, or ISIM by peripheral devices on local interfaces to access multiple networks. Most important for this Reuse is the authentication and key agreement (AKA) function provided by these applications. The peripheral devices include 3GPP and WLAN devices that function as integrated or attachable peripherals on Laptops or PDAs or other mobile data devices. The multiple access networks of interest correspondingly include 3GPP and WLAN type networks. The objective of this study is to realize the diverse usage models with multiple external (wired or wireless) interfaces from a security point of view, without incorporating significant changes to the 3GPP and WLAN infrastructure. It also studies the impact on current security specifications for 3GPP, especially given that some issues have already been identified surrounding key setting procedures, USIM sequence number synchronization, UICC presence detection/UICC application presence detection and termination of the UICC usage etc. It also studies additional user authentication requirements (e.g. PINs) when used over local interfaces like Bluetooth, IR or USB. Further more it studies the impact on having many entities using the same security mechanism and any 3GPP core network elements. Reuse of security functions provided by applications on the UICC does not have an impact on ownership and control of the UICC, which remains with the issuer of the UICC.

Contributions for VHE/OSA concerning the document TS 23.127 have to be provided in the form of Change Requests. Since a lot of changes are expected due to the shift of the focus of the document from OSA to VHE this is an inflexible procedure. Consequently this document was created to collect contributions, ideas and proposals for TS 23.127. They have to be written against the current structure of the document. It is planned to dissolve the TR and to create Change Requests against the TS 23.127 or other applicable documents from it at the end. The body of this document is planned to be incorporated into appropriate TS documents.

This Technical Specification specifies the stage 1 description of the Fraud Information Gathering System (FIGS) feature which provides the means for the HPLMN to monitor the activities of its subscribers in a VPLMN. The purpose of this network feature is to enable the HPLMN to monitor the activities of its subscribers while they are roaming. The VPLMN collects information about a defined set of activities on monitored subscribers and sends this information back to the HPLMN. This enables the HPLMN to clear certain types of calls and so stop fraudulent use of the GSM system. This specification enables service providers/ network operators to use FIGS, and service limitation controls such as Operator Determined Barring (ODB) and Immediate Service Termination (IST), to limit their financial exposure to subscribers producing large unpaid bills. HPLMNs may also choose to monitor the activities of its subscribers within the HPLMN.
