IMSI-based Handover
The function of shared network in connected mode is introduced in the 3GPP R5. This
function can be implemented 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 or not the UE is allowed to access the new SNA in compliance with the previously
configured mapping between IMSIs and SNAs. If the RNC decides that the UE is not allowed
to access the new SNA, then the UE cannot access the network in that area.
With this feature, the RNC can prevent the UE in connected mode from being moved to an
un-subscribed area without CN support. This feature can also be used as a supplement for
implementing shared networks solutions.

3 Technical Description
The SNA that the UE is allowed to access is specified by the combination of the following
parameters: MCC, MNC, SnaExistInd, and SNAC.
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
corresponds to a maximum of 32 SNAs. Each LA belongs to a maximum of 32 SNAs.

3 Technical Description
If this message carries IMSI information, the RNC decides whether to allow the UE to
access the cell or 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
CONNECTION REJECT message to the UE.
If this message does not carry IMSI information, the RRC connection is established
normally.
3.2.4 Handover
During a soft handover or a hard handover, the RNC does not send a MEASUREMENT
CONTROL message if the UE does not have access to a cell. Therefore, the UE does not
trigger a measurement report 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
blind handover is triggered.
3.2.5 Relocation
When the Target RNC receives a RELOCATION REQUEST message, it decides whether the
UE has access to the target cell or not.
If the UE does not have access to the target cell, the relocation failure procedure is triggered.

Description
add ciphering byte at GSM HANDOVER COMMAND if the GSM system
do not add any cipher information at that message.
8)SYS_HO_CIPHER_CONFIG.When it is checked , the cipher
configuration in the added cipher byte in GSM will be A5/1.When it is no
checked ,the cipher configuration is A5/0.
9)BARRED_CELL_FOR_CSDOMAIN_RST.When it is checked, cell will
be bared when CS domain is invalid, otherwise the CS domain will be
bared when CS domain is invalid. It is invalid If
SYS_INFO_UPDATE_FOR_IU_RST is not checked.
10)CR2284R1_SWITCH.in section 8.6.6.28 of TS25.331 of R5 Before
2006, it describes that the HFN should add one when UE is ciphering in the
situation of Timing re-initialized hard handover,while not specified in RB
SETUP process in the section of 8.6.4.3. so it is not clear whether 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 this CR2284R1.
11)CR2284R1_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH.CR2284R1 causes the
compatible problem.if UE is not consistent with RNC regarding whether
accept the CR2284R1 or not,it will cause the problem of streaming when
UEs are communicating with each other.So RNC creates this switch .
when it is checked, RNC is auto-adaptive to accept the CR2284R1
according to UE version information.
The principles that RNC judges UE whether to accept 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 UE accepts the CR;
R99/R4 UE ,if it only receives the START value from RB SETUP
COMPLETE,RNC figures that UE does not accept the CR ;
when it is not checked, whether RNC accept the CR or not is according to
CR2284R1_SWITCH.
The relations between these two switches CR2284R1_SWITCH and
CR2284R1_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH are as follows:
(1)CR2284R1_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH is checked, RNC is
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,CDT trace function
which starts tracing from message RRC CONNECT REQUEST.
13)COMBINE_OPERATION_DRD_SWITCH.When it is on,RNC will not
reject the message RB SETUP CMP without the IE active time.
14)UL_INTER_PROTECT_SWITCH.When the switch is off,RNC will not
do integrity protection check for
uplink RRC messages.
