1 Scope p. 7

The scope of the present document is:

to provide a detailed specification for the interworking between information elements contained in layer 3 messages sent on the MS-MSC interface (Call Control and Mobility Management parts of TS 24.008) and parameters contained in MAP services sent over the MSC-VLR interface (TS 29.002) where the MSC acts as a transparent relay of information;
to provide a detailed specification for the interworking between information elements contained in BSSMAP messages sent on the BSC-MSC interface (TS 48.008) and parameters contained in MAP services sent over the MSC-VLR interface (TS 29.002) where the MSC acts as a transparent relay of information;
to provide a detailed specification for the interworking between information elements contained in BSSMAP messages (TS 48.008) and RANAP ((TS 25.413);
to provide a detailed specification for the interworking as in i) and ii) above when the MSC also processes the information;
to provide a detailed specification for the interworking between information elements contained in layer 3 messages sent on the MS-SGSN interface (GPRS mobility part of TS 24.008) and parameters contained in MAP services sent over the SGSN-HLR interface (TS 29.002);
to provide a detailed specification for the interworking between information elements contained in RANAP messages sent on the SGSN-RNC interface (TS 25.413) and parameters contained in S1AP messages sent on the MME-eNodeB interface (TS 36.413);
to provide a detailed specification for the interworking between information elements contained in BSSMAP messages (TS 48.008) or RANAP messages (TS 25.413) during SRVCC handovers.

Interworking for supplementary services is given in TS 29.011. Interworking for the short message service is given in TS 23.040 and TS 24.011. Interworking between the call control signalling of TS 24.008 and the PSTN/ISDN is given in GSM 09.03 [13], TS 29.007 and TS 49.008. Interworking between the 'A' and 'E' interfaces for inter-MSC handover signalling is given in TS 29.007 and TS 49.008.

1.2 Abbreviations p. 8

Abbreviations used in the present document are listed in TS 21.905.

1.3 Definitions |R5| p. 8

The following terms are used in this Technical Specification:

A/Gb mode:

mode of operation of the MS when connected to the Core Network via GERAN and the A and/or Gb interfaces. Throughout this specification the term GSM refers to GERAN A/Gb mode.

Iu mode:

mode of operation of the MS when connected to the Core Network via GERAN or UTRAN and the Iu interface. Throughout this specification the term UMTS refers to UTRAN or GERAN Iu mode.

2 Classification of interworking cases p. 9

2.1 Transparent procedures p. 9

The following MSC procedures require transparent mapping of access protocol information elements into MAP parameters and vice versa (see TS 29.002 for definitions and the use of the procedures):

location update;
forward new TMSI;
provide IMSI;
obtain IMEI;
check IMEI;
authenticate;
trace subscriber activity.

2.2 Non-transparent procedures p. 9

Procedures in this class require processing in the MSC and information element mapping. These procedures include those related to:

outgoing call set-up;
incoming call set-up;
handover;
cipher mode setting;
location services.
