4 General Description
This document describes the S6a/S6d and S13/S13' interfaces related procedures, message parameters and protocol
specifications.

The procedures, message parameters and protocol are similar between S6a and S6d. S6a is used for location changes of
the MME, while S6d is for location changes of the SGSN. Refer to section 5 for the differences, especially section
5.2.1.

The procedures, message parameters and protocol are identical as for the S13 and S13'. See section 6 for details.

In the tables that describe the Information Elements transported by each Diameter command, each Information Element
is marked as (M) Mandatory, (C) Conditional or (O) Optional in the "Cat." column. For the correct handling of the
Information Element according to the category type, see the description detailed in section 6 of the 3GPP TS 29.228
[17].

5 MME HSS (S6a) and SGSN HSS (S6d)

5.1 Introduction
The S6a interface enables the transfer of subscriber related data between the MME and the HSS as described in 3GPP
TS 23.401 [2].

The S6d interface enables the transfer of subscriber related data between the SGSN and the HSS as described in 3GPP
TS 23.060 [12].
