7.2 Basic services
Definition
Basic services are telecommunication services provided by a GSM and/or
UMTS PLMN. They are divided into three categories:
Bearer Services (BS) that provide binary signals point-to-point
transmission capability.
Bearer services offered on subscription concern circuit mode data
transmission.
They are characterized by their access type (synchronous or
asynchronous) and their speed (0.3 to 64 kbit/s).
Teleservices (TS) that provide complete connection capacities,
including terminal equipment definitions, for communications between
two or more users.
The teleservices are made up of voice transmission services
(speech), short message services and facsimile services.
General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) that enables the mobile
subscribers to send and receive data in an endtoend packet transfer
mode without using network resources in circuit switched mode.

7.2 Basic services
Transmission modes
Two transmission modes are defined in the part internal to the
PLMN:

Transparent mode (T), in which the data is transmitted
unprocessed between the terminal and the IWF.

Non Transparent mode (NT), in which the RLP (Radio Link
Protocol) is implemented between the terminal and the IWF.
This protocol is similar to the HDLC protocol, and
secures transmission.
However, it causes uncontrolled delays because of the
repetition procedures to counteract bad transmissions.

7.13
7.3 GSM & UMTS Authentication Data
7.14
Needs
To take out a subscription, all mobile subscriber data must be created in AUC
beforehand !

For the circuit-switched services and packet-switched services, the role of the HLR is :
to respond to a request for authentication information sent for the GPRS by the
SGSN.
to respond to a request for authentication information sent for the GSM/UMTS by
the MSC.
The Authentication Center (AuC), assigns the security triplets in GSM and
quintets in UMTS, required for the GPRS or TS/BS, to the HLR, which directs
them to the SGSN or MSC for registration.

An authentication information request can occur during :
OC, TC, Handover, SS management,
GSM/UMTS attachment procedure, GSM/UMTS Location Update,
GPRS attachment procedure, GPRS routing area update,
PDP context activation or deactivation.
7.15
Authentication key
The personal authentication key Ki (GSM subscriber) or K
(UMTS subscriber) is assigned to the subscriber with his IMSI.

It is not known to the subscriber.

The key is used during the procedure for authenticating the
subscribers identity.

The personal authentication key is stored :
in the SIM or USIM card.
in the AuC.
7.16
Authentication Vector
The data authenticating the subscriber is the AV (Authentication Vector).

AVs are triplets for GSM subscribers and quintets for UMTS subscribers.

AVs are created in the AuC. They are transmitted to the VLR via the HLR in
the following way (see note below) :
1. The HLR stores n AV for each subscriber as supplied by the AuC.
2. These n AV are transmitted to the VLR or to the SGSN on request.
The HLR then asks for n new AV from the AuC.

Each authentication procedure requires one AV. When only one AV remains
available in the VLR (or in the SGSN), n new AV are requested from the HLR.

Note : The number n varies depending on the VLR/SGSN version.
7.17
GSM authentication data
GSM authentication data :

The AV
3
for GSM subscribers is a triplet with the following
elements:
RAND : random number
SRES : signed response, based on Ki and RAND, using
algorithm A3.
Kc : ciphering key, based on Ki and RAND, using
algorithm A8.

Note : a triplet can be used again when the retrieval of new
triplets from the HLR fails.

information to the USIM card (security information for example).
The AMF can be modified by the operator. [ see MODAMF :
AMFVAL = H'xxxx from H'0000 to H'FFFF]
The quintets are sent to the VLR in a given order. They must be used in the
same order.
A quintet is used only once. It is deleted:
from the HLR after it has been sent to the VLR,
from the VLR when the authentication procedure is complete.

Data
7.27
General
A basic subscription is made up of the following data :
subscribers identity, the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)
subscribers user equipment identification number, Mobile Subscriber ISDN
Number (MSISDN),
access capability to the GSM/UMTS network in circuit mode and/or the
GPRS/UMTS network in packet mode,
bearer and teleservices subscriptions,
supplementary services subscriptions,
service and roaming rights,
authentication data.
Each user of the mobile network has a basic subscription.
Every subscriber is provided with continuity of service over the whole GSM and UMTS
network system.
The characteristics of this subscription are registered in the (HLR) of the Home PLMN
HLR does not differentiate between UMTS and GSM subscribers, but only
according to the subscribed services.
7.28
Creation
The CRESBR command is used to allow the definition of the initial characteristics of a
mobile subscriber in the HLR data base
Main parameters :
MSIN : mobile subscriber identification number
BSERV : basic services subscribed to and associated directory number
BSWOSN :used to assign a BSV without attaching a directory number
CAT: subscription category
SURES : roaming rights granted
MSBARR : administrative status after creation
SNNOT : New location server notification (Welcome Service)
VLRSGSN notification of change of VLR
PLMN notification of change of PLMN
COUNTRY notification of change of country
Dedicated parameters :
OCSM, TCSM, : Camel marks (phase 1)
CARRIER : Long distance Carrier selected
HLR
7.29
TS / BS : circuit-switched services
CRESBR
BSERV = SN - TS or BS
example : BSERV = 108765-TEL+108768-FAX62
the speech service will be accessible using the directory
number SN = 108765
the facsimile service will be accessible using the directory
number SN = 108768
BSWOSN = TS or BS
example : BSWOSN = SMSMT
the short message delivering will use the main MSISDN or the
alert MSISDN (see ALERTNB parameter)
example : BSWOSN = BS21TC
As no number is linked to a BS or a TS, the GSM BC and the
BS/TS involved in the call are determined from the ISDN.
When it is impossible to deduce the GSM BC, the call is
presented to the mobile without a GSM BC. The called party
can then choose the BS or TS.
7.30
Multimedia service : circuit-switched services (1)
In UMTS networks, General Bearer Services (GBSs) are bearer services defined
independently from the user rate and replacing individual bearer services.
GBSs (all data asynchronous, all data synchronous) provide subscribers with the
capacity to transmit binary data over the circuit-switched mobile network.
GBSs are mandatory under UMTS coverage. A subscription to a GBS comprises
the subscription to all individual bearer services of its associated group.
A subscriber can not have a simultaneous subscription to a GBS and to
any of the individual bearer services covered by this GBS.
The Alcatel UMTS network supports bearer services :
GBS20, all circuit data asynchronous general bearer services, with the following
services:
3.1 khz audio outside the PLMN,
V110 (rate adaptation protocol) Unrestricted Digital Information (UDI),
GBS30, all circuit data synchronous general bearer services, with the following
services:
Multimedia:
56 kbit/s, Restricted Digital-Information (RDI),
64 kbit/s, UDI.
7.31
Multimedia service : circuit-switched services (2)
CRESBR

BS = GBS20 or GBS30
The mobile subscriber must be first created.
To provision a GBS20 / GBS30 service to a mobile
subscriber in the HLR :
a) List the characteristics of the subscriber to check
the services already provisioned (INTSBBR)
b) provision the required GBS20 / GBS30 service to
the subscriber using command CHASBR

see later how to change a GSM subscriber into a UMTS
subscriber
7.32
GPRS : packet-switched service
The GPRS is a GSM phase 2+ service, that applies also to UMTS (see 3GPP
recommendations TS 23.060).
It enables the mobile subscribers to send and receive data in an endto
end packet transfer mode, without using network resources in circuit
switched mode.
Transfer in packet mode is an efficient way to use radio and fixed
network resources, (resources are allocated only when a packet is
transferred).

The GPRS subscription is characterised by a set of elements used to :
define access means by the subscriber to the PDN
define the transmission path of short messages (GPRS or NSS)

As for the NSS, the HLR delivers the mobile subscriber's location information
by registering the SGSN address used to reach the subscriber [the SGSN
may be in the HPLMN or another PLMN (FPLMN)].
7.33
GPRS : dedicated parameters
GPRS access is defined by models called "PDP models".

CRESBR
BSERV = SN - GPRS bearer operating mode
NAM = network access mode
GPRSONLY access to GPRS only (packet data)
NONGPRS access to NSS only (default value)
BOTH access to GPRS and NSS
TXSMOPT = short message transfer option
VIASGSN transfer of short message via SGSN
VIAVLR transfer of short message via VLR
PDPMODEL = PDP model number (0 to 999)
PDPADRS = PDP address (by default, assigned dynamically)
for IP version 4 : 8 hexadecimal characters
for IP version 6 : 32 hexadecimal characters
for X.25 : 2 to 12 hexadecimal characters
APNAME = access point name (if not present in the PDP model)
up to 62 ASCII characters (string of labels separated by a period character)
7.34
GPRS : definition of a PDP context
A PDP (Packet Data Protocol) defines the PDN access.

It corresponds to a GPRS subscription for a packet address.
The subscriber can subscribe to several PDP contexts
Each context comprises a set of parameters :
An identity: PDP model number
The type of packet data protocol to be used :
IP version 4,
IP version 6,
X25
The data transmission quality required
An access point identity range indicator (intra-PLMN or inter-PLMN)
The name of the access point
7.35
GPRS : creation of a PDP model
MODPDP
PDPMODEL = PDP (Packet Data Protocol) model number (0 to 999)
At least one of the optional parameters is mandatory
PDPTYPE = PDP model type
IPV4 IP version 4 access
IPV6 IP version 6 access
X25 X.25 access
QOS = quality of service (prec - del - rel - peak - mean)
prec = PREC1 to PREC3 packet priority class
del = DEL1 to DEL4 packet delay class
rel = REL1 to REL5 protocol reliability class
peak = PEAK1 to PEAK9 peak rate class for data transfer
mean = MEAN1 to MEAN18 mean rate class for data transfer
VPLMNACC = VPLMN access indicator
NO the access point name can be used only in the HPLMN (default value)
YES the access point name can be used in the HPLMN and the VPLMN
APNAME = access point name (parameter included if the model is linked to a single
access point) up to 62 ASCII characters (ex: www.alcatel.fr) [* = all]

REGSUBOP or REGSUBFP, then at least one list (RSZIL0n) must be
provided.
LISTS, then parameter LISTS is mandatory.
RGSUBPLM, then parameters RLN and RSZIL0n are mandatory;
RGSUBLIS, then parameters LISTS and RSZIL0n are mandatory.

When SURES is left blank when creating from a model and if at least one of
the parameters RLN, LISTS and/or RSZIL0x are entered in the command, the
SURES value existing in the model is used to check the compatibility of the
parameters entered.

For more details, see chapter Roaming Restrictions
7.40
Locked state during subscription creation
The locked state prevents a subscriber from making or receiving
calls.
This enables subscriptions to be created in advance, to be
unlocked only when they are sold to a subscriber.

MSBARR :
LAN Lock for administrative requirements,
UAN Unlock for administrative requirements,
Networks where operator-determined barring restrictions are not implemented
The locked state can be unlocked either by subscription modification command

Networks where operator-determined barring restrictions are implemented
When a subscription is created, declaring it "locked for administrative
requirements" causes the ODBOC and ODBIC categories to be set for the
subscribers.
So, to unlock a subscription, you have to delete these two ODB categories.

Creation with model : principle
This function facilitates the creation of subscribers (at the HLR),
by basing creation on the retrieval of predefined models (and
therefore by reducing the number of operator commands
needed to create subscribers).
Change or deletion of a model will not retroactively affect the
subscribers deriving from that model.

Any combination of data can be assigned to a model, BUT few with
predetermined values like :
MSIN = MODELXXX XXX range from 000 to 999 to identify the model
number,
MS_ISDN = MODELSN a subscriber pseudo-number used as the value
for the SN field of the BSERV parameter.

7.53
Changing a GSM subscriber into a UMTS subscriber (1)
The subscriber type, either GSM or UMTS, is only known by the AuC.
To change the subscriber type from GSM into UMTS, you can apply three
different methods :
Method 1:
a) delete the subscriber from the HLR (DELSBR), then from the AuC
(DELAUK),
b) create a new subscriber with new information, first in the AuC
(CREAUK), then in the HLR (CRESBR)
or Method 2:
a) create a new MSIN in the AuC for this subscriber (CREAUK),
b) change the individual Bearer Service Profile (BS) of a subscriber
into a General Bearer Service Profile (GBS) using the CHASBR
command
c) change the old MSIN in the HLR using the CHAMSI command
(CHAMSI),
or Method 3:
a) b) as method 2
c) perform an automatic change of IMSI (CRELNK).
7.54
CHASBR
NBSERV or NSNBSV = SN-BCN
New Subscriber Number (SN) and Bearer Capability Name (BCN)
SN = 4 to 14 digits depending on the numbering plan
ex : BCN = GBS30TCn (where n = profile number*)
NBSWOSN = BS
New basic service without subscriber number
ex : BS outgoing GBS30OC
ex : BS outgoing and incoming (may or may not be allowed depending on
the PLMN) GBS30TC

* Profile : assign subscribers a data profile for each bearer service, depending on the
subscribers service request :
Example: For BS2xTCn, BS3xTCn, GBS20TCn or GBS30TCn (where n = profile
number), the associated profiles may be:
n = 1, for the 3.1 kHz audio mode,
