1 Scope The present document specifies the technical realization of the handling of calls originated by a UMTS or GSM mobile subscriber and calls directed to a UMTS or GSM mobile subscriber, up to the point where the call is established. Normal release of the call after establishment is also specified. Trunk Originated call is also modelled.
In the present document, the term MS is used to denote a UMTS UE or GSM MS, as appropriate.
The handling of DTMF signalling and Off-Air Call set-up (OACSU) are not described in the present document.
The details of the effects of UMTS or GSM supplementary services on the handling of a call are described in the relevant 3GPP TS 23.07x, 3GPP TS 23.08x and 3GPP TS 23.09x series of specifications.
The specification of the handling of a request from the HLR for subscriber information is not part of basic call handling, but is required for both CAMEL (3GPP TS 23.078 [12]) and optimal routeing (3GPP TS 23.079 [13]). The use of the Provide Subscriber Information message flow is shown in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12] and 3GPP TS 23.079 [13].
The logical separation of the MSC and VLR (shown in clauses 4, 5 and 7), and the messages transferred between them (described in clause 8) are the basis of a model used to define the externally visible behaviour of the MSC/VLR, which is a single physical entity. They do not impose any requirement except the definition of the externally visible behaviour.
If there is any conflict between the present document and the corresponding stage 3 specifications (3GPP TS 24.008 [26], 3GPP TS 25.413 [27], 3GPP TS 48.008 [2] and 3GPP TS 29.002 [29]), the stage 3 specification shall prevail.

4 Architecture Subclauses 4.1 and 4.2 show the architecture for handling a basic MO call and a basic MT call. A basic mobile-to-mobile call is treated as the concatenation of an MO call and an MT call.
4.1 Architecture for an MO call A basic mobile originated call involves signalling between the MS and its VMSC via the BSS, between the VMSC and the VLR and between the VMSC and the destination exchange, as indicated in figure 1.
In figure 1 and throughout the present document, the term BSS is used to denote a GSM BSS or a UTRAN, as appropriate.

ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)123GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
In figure 1 and throughout the present document, the term ISUP is used to denote the telephony signalling system used between exchanges. In a given network, any telephony signalling system may be used.
When the user of an MS wishes to originate a call, the MS establishes communication with the network using radio interface signalling, and sends a message containing the address of the called party. VMSCA requests information to handle the outgoing call (SIFOC) from VLRA, over an internal interface of the MSC/VLR. If VLRA determines that the outgoing call is allowed, it responds with a Complete Call. VMSCA:
- establishes a traffic channel to the MS; and
- constructs an ISUP IAM using the called party address and sends it to the destination exchange.
4.2 Architecture for an MT call A basic mobile terminated call involves signalling as indicated in figure 2. Communication between VMSCB and the MS is via the BSS, as for the mobile originated case. If VPLMNB supports GPRS and the Gs interface between VLRB and the SGSN is implemented (see 3GPP TS 23.060 [9]) and there is an association between VLRB and the SGSN for the MS, the paging signal towards the MS goes from VMSCB via VLRB and the SGSN to the BSS. The IPLMN, containing GMSCB, is in principle distinct from HPLMNB, containing HLRB, but the practice for at least the majority of current UMTS or GSM networks is that a call to an MS will be routed to a GMSC in HPLMNB.
Figure 2: Architecture for a basic mobile terminated call
When GMSCB receives an ISUP IAM, it requests routeing information from HLRB using the MAP protocol. HLRB requests a roaming number from VLRB, also using the MAP protocol, and VLRB returns a roaming number in the Provide Roaming Number Ack. HLRB returns the roaming number to GMSCB in the Send Routeing Info ack. GMSCB uses the roaming number to construct an ISUP IAM, which it sends to VMSCB. When VMSCB receives the IAM, it requests information to handle the incoming call (SIFIC) from VLRB, over an internal interface of the MSC/VLR. If VLRB determines that the incoming call is allowed, it requests VMSCB to page the MS. VMSCB pages the MS using radio interface signalling. When the MS responds, VMSCB informs VLRB in the Page ack message. VLRB instructs VMSCB to connect the call in the Complete call, and VMSCB establishes a traffic channel to the MS.

4.3 Architecture for a TO call A basic trunk originated call involves signalling between the PSTN and the PLMN's MSC, as indicated in figure x. The originating exchange may also be another MSC of the same or different PLMN.
The MSC may also be connected to PBX but that is outside the scope of this document. In the PBX case same modelling applies but the PBX signalling is different to ISUP.
Figure 4.3.1: Architecture for a basic trunk originated call
In figure x and throughout the present document, the term ISUP is used to denote the telephony signalling system used between exchanges. In a given network, any telephony signalling system may be used.
The MSC receives a setup (IAM) message from the originating exchange. The MSC analyses the called party number and routes the call to an appropriate destination. If the called party number is an MSISDN the gateway MSC functionality is activated. If the MSISDN belongs to another PLMN (or is ported out), the call is routed to another PLMN. If the called number is a PSTN number then the call is routed to (appropriate) PSTN operator. There may be other destinations also.
5 Information flows In this clause and clause 7, the terms "security procedures" and "security control" denote the UMTS ciphering and integrity protection mechanism defined in 3GPP TS 33.102 [32] or the GSM ciphering mechanism defined in 3GPP TS 43.020 [1], as appropriate.
5.1 Information flow for an MO call An example information flow for an MO call is shown in figure 3; many variations are possible. Signalling over the radio interface between MSA and BSSA or VMSCA is shown by dotted lines; signalling over the Iu interface (for UMTS) or the A interface (for GSM) between BSSA and VMSCA is shown by dashed lines; signalling over the B interface between VMSCA and VLRA is shown by chain lines; and ISUP signalling between VMSCA and the destination exchange is shown by solid lines.

NOTE 1: Authentication may occur at any stage during the establishment of an MO call; its position in this message flow diagram is an example.
NOTE 2: Security procedures may be initiated at any stage after authentication; the position in this message flow diagram is an example.
NOTE 3: If ciphering is not required for a GSM connection, the MSC may send a CM service accept towards the MS; optionally it may instead send a "start ciphering" request indicating that no ciphering is required. This option is not available for a UMTS connection [ffs].
NOTE 4: The network may request the IMEI from the MS, and may check the IMEI, at any stage during the establishment of an MO call, either as part of the procedure to start security procedures or explicitly after security procedures have started; this is not shown in this message flow diagram.

ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)153GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
When the user wishes to originate a call, MSA establishes a signalling connection with BSSA, and sends a Connection Management (CM) service request to BSSA, which relays it to VMSCA. VMSCA sends a Process Access Request to VLRA. VLRA may then initiate authentication, as described in 3GPP TS 33.102 [32] for UMTS and 3GPP TS 43.020 [1] for GSM. VLRA may also initiate security procedures at this stage, as described in 3GPP TS 33.102 [32] for UMTS 3GPP TS 43.020 [1] for GSM. If the user originates one or more new MO calls in a multicall configuration, MSA sends a CM service request through the existing signalling connection for each new call.
If the MS has performed the Connection Management (CM) service request in a CSG cell, VLRA shall control if the CSG cell is allowed by the CSG subscription data stored in VLRA. If the CSG cell is not allowed, VLRA shall reject the Process Access Request.
If the MS has performed the Connection Management (CM) service request in a hybrid cell, VLRA shall set the CSG membership status in the Process Access Request ack according to the CSG subscription data stored in VLRA.
If VLRA determines that MSA is allowed service, it sends a Process Access Request ack to VMSCA. If VMSCA has received a Start security procedures message from VLRA, the Process Access Request ack message triggers a Start security procedures message towards BSSA; otherwise VMSCA sends a CM Service Accept message towards BSSA.
If BSSA receives a Start security procedures message from VMSCA, it initiates security procedures as described in 3GPP TS 33.102 [32] for UMTS and 3GPP TS 43.020 [1] for GSM; when security procedures have been successfully initiated, MSA interprets this in the same way as a CM Service Accept. If security procedures are not required at this stage, BSSA relays the CM Service Accept to MSA.
When MSA has received the CM Service Accept, or security procedures have been successfully initiated, MSA sends a Set-up message containing the B subscriber address via BSSA to VMSCA. MSA also uses the Set-up message to indicate the bearer capability required for the call; VMSCA translates this bearer capability into a basic service, and determines whether an interworking function is required. VMSCA sends to VLRA a request for information to handle the outgoing call, using a Send Info For Outgoing Call (SIFOC) message containing the B subscriber address.
If VLRA determines that the call should be connected, it sends a Complete Call message to VMSCA. VMSCA sends a Call Proceeding message via BSSA to MSA, to indicate that the call request has been accepted, and sends an Allocate channel message to BSSA, to trigger BSSA and MSA to set up a traffic channel over the radio interface. The Call Proceeding message includes bearer capability information if any of the negotiable parameters of the bearer capability has to be changed. When the traffic channel assignment process is complete (indicated by the Allocation complete message from BSSA to VMSCA), VMSCA constructs an ISUP IAM using the B subscriber address, and sends it to the destination exchange.
When the destination exchange returns an ISUP Address Complete Message (ACM), VMSCA sends an Alerting message via BSSA to MSA, to indicate to the calling user that the B subscriber is being alerted.
When the destination exchange returns an ISUP ANswer Message (ANM), VMSCA sends a Connect message via BSSA to MSA, to instruct MSA to connect the speech path.
The network then waits for the call to be cleared.
For an emergency call, a different CM service type (emergency call) is used, and the mobile may identify itself by an IMEI. It is a network operator option whether to allow an emergency call when the mobile identifies itself by an IMEI. Details of the handling are shown in clause 7.

5.2 Information flow for retrieval of routeing information for an MT call
The information flow for retrieval of routeing information for an MT call is shown in figure 4. ISUP signalling between the originating exchange and GMSCB, and between GMSCB and VMSCB is shown by solid lines; signalling over the MAP interfaces between GMSCB and HLRB and between HLRB and VLRB, and over the B interface between VLRB and VMSCB is shown by chain lines; signalling over the Iu interface (for UMTS) or the A interface (for GSM) between VMSCB and BSSB is shown by dashed lines; and signalling over the radio interface between BSSB and MSB is shown by dotted lines.
NOTE 1: If pre-paging is used, paging is initiated after VLRB has accepted the PRN message. The paging procedure is described in subclause 5.3.
NOTE 2: VMSCB starts the timer for the release of radio resources after it sends the Process Access Request message to VLRB. VMSCB releases the radio resource allocated for the MT call if the timer expires before the IAM is received, and when the MAP RELEASE_RESOURCES message is received from the GMSC.
NOTE 3: If an ISUP REL message is received at the GMSC between sending of SRI and receiving of SRI ack, the GMSC does not send IAM to the VMSC. Instead a MAP Release_Resources message may be sent to the VMSC.
Figure 4: Information flow for retrieval of routeing information for a basic mobile terminated call
When GMSCB receives an IAM, it analyses the called party address. If GMSCB can derive an HLR address from the B party address, it sends a request for routeing information (SRI) to HLRB. If GMSCB supports pre-paging (i.e. it is prepared to wait long enough for the SRI ack to allow pre-paging to be completed), it indicates this by an information element in the SRI message.
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)173GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
HLRB decides whether pre-paging is supported according to the following criteria:
- GMSCB has indicated that it supports pre-paging; and
- HLRB supports pre-paging (i.e. it is prepared to wait long enough for the PRN ack to allow pre-paging to be completed).
HLRB sends a request for a roaming number (PRN) to VLRB; if pre-paging is supported, it indicates this by an information element in the PRN message. If Paging Area function is supported in HLRB then HLRB sends the paging area if stored in HLR. VLRB returns the roaming number in the PRN ack, and HLRB relays the roaming number to GMSCB in the SRI ack. GMSCB constructs an IAM using the roaming number, and sends it to VMSCB.
If the GMSC performs domain selection through HLR interrogation and the HLR supports domain selection functionality, HLRB executes domain selection functionaility. The HLR shall:
- send PRN to VLRB as defined in this section , if the result of domain selection is to handle the call in CS domain; or
- reply with SRI ack without sending PRN to VLRB, if the result of domain selection is to transfer the call from CS domain to IMS domain.
5.2.1 Mobile Terminating Roaming Retry Call after successful Retrieval of Routeing Information
The information flow for mobile terminating roaming retry call after successful retrieval of routeing information is shown in figure 4a. It applies to a mobile terminating call while the called mobile is simultaneously moving from an old to a new MSC, if the GMSC, the HLR and the old terminating VMSC support the MT Roaming Retry procedure.
In that case, upon receipt of:
- an ISUP IAM message which was preceeded by a MAP Cancel Location procedure, or
- a MAP Cancel Location procedure while on-going paging,
the old VMSC shall instruct the GMSC to resume terminating call procedure by sending a MAP Resume Call Handling message. The GMSC shall then release the ISUP connection to the old VMSC, terminate any open CAP dialogue, and retry the terminating call setup towards the new MSC by sending an additional SRI to the HLR. This second SRI request leads to obtaining a roaming number from the new MSC towards which the call can then be delivered (possibly after new CAMEL interactions).
An HLR supporting the "mobile terminating roaming retry" feature shall always send a MAP Cancel Location message message to the old VLR upon receipt of the MAP Update Location from the new VLR. This shall also apply if the HLR and the old VLR support Super-Charger (see 3GPP TS 23.116 [24]), regardless of whether the new VLR indicates or not during the location update procedure that the previous network entity must be notified.
NOTE 1: HLRs compliant with an earlier release of the specification and supporting mobile terminating roaming retry and Super-Charger may not always send a Cancel Location message in a supercharged network. To support mobile terminating roaming retry with such HLR implemenations, the old VLR can start a timer upon receipt of the MAP Send Identification message while on-going paging to trigger the sending of an internal Cancel Location to the old MSC and thus the sending of a MAP Resume Call Handling message by the old MSC to the GMSC after the sending of the MAP Update Location by the new VLR to the HLR.

Figure 4a: Information flow for a mobile terminating roaming retry call after successful Retrieval of Routeing Information
1. A GMSC supporting the "mobile terminating roaming retry" feature includes the Call Reference Number, the GMSC address and the MT Roaming Retry Supported IE in the first SRI sent to the HLR.
2. A HLR supporting the "mobile terminating roaming retry" feature includes the Call Reference Number, the GMSC address and the MT Roaming Retry Supported IE in the PRN sent to the MSC/VLR if received in the SRI.
2'. An old VLR supporting the "mobile terminating roaming retry" feature may indicate in the MAP Send Identification response sent to the new VLR whether there is a pending mobile terminating call at the old VLR.
3. Receipt of the MT Roaming Retry Supported IE in the PRN indicates that the GMSC supports the Resume Call Handling procedure and the mobile terminating roaming retry feature. Upon receipt of the ISUP IAM message which was preceeded by a MAP Cancel Location message, or upon receipt of the MAP Cancel Location message while paging, the old MSC/VLR stops paging, if paging was on-going, and if it supports the "mobile terminating roaming retry" feature and did receive the MT Roaming Retry Supported IE in the PRN, sends an RCH message to the GMSC with the MT Roaming Retry IE. The old MSC shall terminate any open CAP dialogue when receiving RCH ACK or ISUP REL message.
4. Upon receipt of the RCH message with the MT roaming retry IE, the GMSC acknowledges the RCH message, releases the call towards the old MSC/VLR, terminates T-CSI dialog with the SCP, if any exists, using T-Abandon EDP, and re-sends a new SRI to the HLR (still a 'basic call' interrogation type) using a new call reference number.
5. To avoid looping, the new SRI shall be sent without the Roaming Retry Supported IE. Furthermore, the GMSC shall use an appropriate high value for the timer supervising receipt of SRI ACK. Note that the Suppress T-CSI field is not set since the Mobile Terminating procedure is restarted from the beginning including the handling of CAMEL interaction on T-CSI (this is because T-CSI treatments may end differently if old and new MSCs are not in the same PLMN or in the same geographical area, e.g. different charging rates or regional service subscription).
6. Upon receipt of a SRI request or PRN ack (regardless of the PRN response from the old VLR) during an on-going Update Location procedure, the HLR delays the sending of the PRN to the new VLR till completion of the Update Location procedure.
7. Receipt of the MSRN' from the new MSC/VLR enables the GMSC to relay the call towards the new MSC/VLR.
8. If the IAM message is received before the Location Update procedure is completed with the MS, the new MSC may delay the setup of the call until the completion of the Location Update procedure or start at once the normal terminating call procedure. In the former case, if the Location Update is received with the "follow-on" indication and if the VMSC supports the "follow-on" indication, the incoming IAM may either be handled as a waiting call or forwarded as Busy (CFB), depending on the state of the "follow-on" call and the subscriber's subscription data. If no IAM message has been received at the time the Location Update procedure completes, the new MSC may shortly defer the release of the signalling connection with the MS if the old VLR indicated in the MAP Send Identification response that there is a pending mobile terminating call at the old VLR.
NOTE 2: For a CS Fallback mobile terminating call, the new MSC also defers the release of the signalling connection with the MS if the MS includes the "CSMT" flag in the Location Update message (see subclause 7.5 of 3GPP TS 23.272 [42]).
Similarly, a HLR supporting the "mobile terminating roaming retry" feature should wait for the completion of any on-going Location Update procedure when processing other terminating requests e.g. MAP-SEND-ROUTING-INFO-FOR-SM, MAP-SEND-ROUTING-INFO-FOR-LCS, MAP-ANY-TIME-INTERROGATION. More generally, this also applies to all TCAP transactions that the HLR may have to open toward a VLR (e.g. USSD, PSI).
5.2.2 Mobile Terminating Roaming Retry Call during Retrieval of Routeing Information
The information flow for mobile terminating roaming retry call during retrieval of routing information is shown in figure 4b. It applies to a mobile terminating call while the called mobile is simultaneously moving from an old to a new
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)203GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
MSC, if the GMSC and the HLR support the MT Roaming Retry procedure. The procedure may e.g. apply during pre-paging if the GMSC, HLR and old MSC/VLR support pre-paging.
In that case, upon receipt of:
- a MAP Cancel Location procedure while on-going pre-paging,
the old VMSC/VLR shall return a PRN negative response to the HLR. If "Suppress T-CSI" was included in the SRI request, the HLR shall relay a SRI negative response with the error "absent subscriber" including the reason "mtRoamingRetry" to the GMSC. If "Suppress T-CSI" was not included in the SRI request, and the called party is roaming to a different MSC/VLR during the PRN procedure, the HLR may either return a SRI negative response with the error "absent subscriber" including the reason "mtRoamingRetry" to the GMSC, or instead delay the sending of a PRN request to the new VLR until completion of the Update Location procedure.
The GMSC shall release the T-CSI dialogue (if existing) and retry the terminating call setup towards the new MSC by sending an additional SRI to the HLR when receiving a SRI negative response with the error "absent subscriber" including the reason "mtRoamingRetry". This second SRI request leads to obtaining a roaming number from the new MSC towards which the call can then be delivered (possibly after new CAMEL interactions).
NOTE 1: If "Suppress T-CSI" was included in the SRI request, the mobile terminating procedure is restarted from the beginning including the handling of CAMEL interaction on T-CSI, because T-CSI treatments can end differently if old and new MSCs are not in the same PLMN or in the same geographical area, e.g. different charging rates or regional service subscription.
An HLR supporting the "mobile terminating roaming retry" feature shall always send a MAP Cancel Location message message to the old VLR upon receipt of the MAP Update Location from the new VLR. This shall also apply if the HLR and the old VLR support Super-Charger (see 3GPP TS 23.116 [24]), regardless of whether the new VLR indicates or not during the location update procedure that the previous network entity must be notified.
NOTE 2: Legacy HLR implementations supporting mobile terminating roaming retry and Super-Charger may not always send a Cancel Location message in a supercharged network. To support mobile terminating roaming retry with such HLR implementations, the old VLR can start a timer upon receipt of the MAP Send Identification message while on-going paging to trigger the sending of an internal Cancel Location to the old MSC and thus the sending of a PRN negative response to the HLR after the sending of the MAP Update Location by the new VLR to the HLR.

Figure 4b: Information flow for a mobile terminating roaming retry call during Retrieval of Routeing Information
1. A GMSC supporting the "mobile terminating roaming retry" feature includes the Call Reference Number, the GMSC address, and the MT Roaming Retry Supported IE in the first SRI sent to the HLR. The Pre-paging Supported IE is included in the SRI message if the GSMC supports the "Pre-paging" feature.
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)223GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
2. A HLR supporting the "mobile terminating roaming retry" feature includes the Call Reference Number and the GMSC address in the PRN sent to the MSC/VLR if received in the SRI. If GMSC and HLR support the "Pre-paging" feature, the Pre-paging Supported IE is included in the PRN message.
2'. An old VLR supporting the "mobile terminating roaming retry" feature may indicate in the MAP Send Identification response sent to the new VLR whether there is a pending mobile terminating call at the old VLR.
3. Upon receipt of the MAP Cancel Location message while pre-paging, the old MSC/VLR stops pre-paging and sends a PRN negative response message to the HLR. If meanwhile the HLR has received a new Update Location procedure from a new MSC/VLR, the HLR returns a SRI negative response with error "absent subscriber" including the reason "mtRoamingRetry" to the GMSC.
4. Upon receipt of the SRI negative response with error "absent subscriber" including the reason "mtRoamingRetry", the GMSC re-sends a new SRI to the HLR (still a 'basic call' interrogation type) using a new call reference number.
5.-8. See the same procedures from step 5 to step 8 in the figure 4a.
Similarly, a HLR supporting the "mobile terminating roaming retry" feature should wait for the completion of any on-going Location Update procedure when processing other terminating requests e.g. MAP-SEND-ROUTING-INFO-FOR-SM, MAP-SEND-ROUTING-INFO-FOR-LCS, MAP-ANY-TIME-INTERROGATION. More generally, this also applies to all TCAP transactions that the HLR may have to open toward a VLR (e.g. USSD, PSI).
5.2.3 Mobile Terminating Roaming Forwarding Call after successful Retrieval of Routeing Information
The information flow for mobile terminating roaming forwarding (MTRF) call after successful retrieval of routeing information is shown in figure 4c. It applies to a mobile terminating call while the called mobile is simultaneously moving from an old to a new MSC, if the old and the new terminating MSC/VLRs support the MT Roaming Forwarding procedure. The HLR should also support the Mobile Terminating Roaming Forwarding procedure in order to ensure that roaming forwarding can be offered in all scenarios (e.g. in case of IMSI in the LAU Request from UE).
NOTE 1: The full support of MTRF for roaming scenarios requires both home network (HLR) and visited network (VLRs) to support the MTRF procedures and protocol extensions. As deployment scenarios may exist where the home network (HLR) has not been updated to support MTRF the visited network can perform a limited roaming forwarding solution autonomously if the MTRF Supported flag is signalled in the MAP Send Identification message under the conditions defined in this clause.
The new terminating VLR shall include an MTRF Supported flag in the MAP Update Location message sent to the HLR. If the HLR authorises the MTRF call between the old and the new terminating MSCs, the HLR shall include the MTRF Supported And Authorized flag and the new MSC/VLR numbers in the MAP Cancel Location message sent to the old VLR. Otherwise if the HLR disallows the MTRF call between the old and the new terminating MSCs, the HLR shall include the MTRF Supported And Not Authorized flag in the MAP Cancel Location message sent to the old VLR. The new VLR may also signal the MTRF Supported flag and the new MSC/VLR numbers in the MAP Send Identification message to indicate to the old VLR that it supports MTRF.
An HLR supporting the "mobile terminating roaming forwarding" feature shall always send a MAP Cancel Location message message to the old VLR upon receipt of the MAP Update Location from the new VLR. This shall also apply if the HLR and the old VLR support Super-Charger (see 3GPP TS 23.116 [24]), regardless of whether the new VLR indicates or not during the location update procedure that the previous network entity must be notified.
If the old VLR receives a MAP Send Identification message containing the MTRF Supported flag it shall not trigger any MAP Provide Roaming Number request to the new terminating VLR until is has received the MAP Cancel Location message.
Upon receipt of a MAP Cancel Location message while ongoing paging, if either of the following is true:
- the MAP Cancel Location message includes the MTRF Supported And Authorized flag or;
- the MAP Cancel Location message does not include the MTRF Supported And Not Authorized flag and the old VLR has received the MTRF Supported flag earlier in the MAP Send Indentification message,
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)233GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
the old VLR shall send a MAP Provide Roaming Number request (including the MTRF Indicator and the parameters received from the HLR in the MAP Provide Roaming Number) to the new terminating VLR. The new terminating MSC/VLR shall then allocate an MSRN to allow the call to be routed from the old MSC to the new MSC and send it to the old VLR within the MAP Provide Roaming Number response.

Figure 4c: Information flow for a mobile terminating roaming forwarding call after successful Retrieval of Routeing Information
The sequence follows the normal MT terminating call with the following differences:
1. If the Location Update Request contains a valid TMSI/old LAI (e.g. not after the old VLR restart), a new MSC/VLR supporting the MTRF feature may include the MTRF Supported flag and the new MSC/VLR numbers in the MAP Send Identification to the old VMSC. The new VLR shall not include the MTRF Supported flag in the MAP Send Identification message sent to the old VMSC if the Location Update message received from the MS indicates a CS fallback mobile originating call. An old VLR supporting the MTRF feature may indicate in the MAP Send Identification response sent to the new VLR whether there is a pending mobile terminating call at the old VLR.
NOTE 2: it is implementation dependent if the new VLR decides to not include the MTRF Supported flag in the MAP Send Identification message sent to the old VMSC if the Location Update message received from the MS contains the "follow-on request pending" flag.
2. A new MSC/VLR supporting the MTRF feature includes the MTRF Supported flag in the MAP Update Location message sent to the HLR, unless the Location Update message received from the MS indicates a CS fallback mobile originating call.
NOTE 3: it is implementation dependent if the new VLR decides to not include the MTRF Supported flag in the MAP Update Location message sent to the HLR if the Location Update message received from the MS contains the "follow-on request pending" flag.
3. Upon receipt of a MAP Update Location including the MTRF Supported flag, an HLR supporting the MTRF feature decides whether to authorise MTRF call between the old and the new MSCs based on roaming agreements with the old and the new MSCs. If MTRF is authorised, the HLR includes the MTRF Supported And Authorized flag and the new MSC/VLR numbers in the MAP Cancel Location message sent to the old VLR. If MTRF is not authorised, the HLR includes the MTRF Supported And Not Authorized flag in the MAP Cancel Location message sent to the old VLR.
4. Upon receipt of a MAP Cancel Location message while on-going paging and if it includes the MTRF Supported And Authorized flag or if the MAP Cancel Location message does include neither the MTRF Supported And Authorized flag nor the MTRF Supported And Not Authorized flag but the old MSC/VLR had received earlier the MTRF Supported flag at step 1, the old MSC/VLR stops paging.
5. If it supports MTRF and decides to apply MTRF based on local operator policy and optionally roaming agreements with the HLR and new MSC for MTRF, it sends a MAP Provide Roaming Number request (including the MTRF Indicator and the parameters received from the HLR in the MAP Provide Roaming Number) to the new terminating VLR. If the the MAP Cancel Location message does not include the MTRF Supported And Authorized flag and it did not receive the MTRF Supported flag at step 1 or if the MAP Cancel Location message includes the MTRF Supported And Not Authorized flag, the old MSC/VLR may initiate the MT Roaming Retry procedure as per subclause 5.2.1. If the old MSC supports both the MT Roaming Retry and the MT Roaming Forwarding procedures, and if the conditions for using these procedures are met, the MSC can decide based on operator policy which procedure to follow.
6. Upon receipt of the MAP Provide Roaming Number Request, the new MSC/VLR may check roaming agreements with the HLR and the old MSC for MTRF. The new MSC/VLR may reject the MAP Provide Roaming Number Request with a cause indicating that the subscriber is busy if it has received from the MS a CM Service Request indicating a CS mobile originated call.
If the new VLR rejects the MTRF request, the new VLR returns a negative response to the old VLR.
As an option, the new MSC/VLR may check whether it also performs the GMSC function for the call by comparing the GMSC address received in the MAP Provide Roaming Number with its own MSC address. If so,
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)263GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
the GMSC / new MSC/VLR may proceed as shown in figure 4ca to deliver the MT call directly to the UE without further involving the old MSC/VLR.
7. If the new VLR accepts the MAP Provide Roaming Number request, upon successful completion of the MAP Update Location procedure with the HLR, the new MSC/VLR allocates an MSRN to allow the call to be routed from the old MSC to the new MSC. As an implementation option, the new MSC/VLR may allocate an MSRN before completion of the MAP Update Location procedure with the HLR.
8. The new MSC/VLR sends MSRN to the old VLR within the MAP Provide Roaming Number response. Upon receipt of the MSRN from the new MSC/VLR, the old MSC/VLR terminates any on-going Camel transaction.
9. Receipt of the MSRN from the new MSC/VLR enables the old MSC to relay the call towards the new MSC.
10. If the IAM message is received before the Location Update procedure is completed with the MS, the new MSC may delay the setup of the call until the completion of the Location Update procedure or start at once the normal terminating call procedure. In the former case, if the Location Update is received with the "follow-on" indication and if the MSC supports the "follow-on" indication, the incoming IAM may either be handled as a waiting call or forwarded as Busy (CFB), depending on the state of the "follow-on" call and the subscriber's subscription data. The Location Update Accept message may be sent to the MS at any time after receipt of the MAP Update Location Ack from the HLR, i.e. the location update procedure with the MS is not affected by the MT Roaming Forwarding procedure.
If no MAP Provide Roaming Number request has been received at the time the Location Update procedure completes, the new MSC may shortly defer the release of the signalling connection with the MS if the old VLR indicated in the MAP Send Identification response that there is a pending mobile terminating call at the old VLR.
NOTE 4: For a CS Fallback mobile terminating call, the new MSC also defers the release of the signalling connection with the MS if the MS includes the "CSMT" flag in the Location Update message (see subclause 7.5a of 3GPP TS 23.272 [42]).
The MAP Update Location message and Send Identification message may include the new LMSI allocated by the new terminating MSC/VLR if the MTRF Supported flag is present in those messages. If available, the HLR shall include the new LMSI in the MAP Cancel Location message it sends to the old VLR if the MTRF Supported And Authorized flag is present in this message. If available, the old VLR shall include the new LMSI in the MAP Provide Roaming Number message it sends to the new VLR.
A VLR may also set the MTRF Supported flag in the MAP Update Location message it sends to the HLR upon establishment of an SGs association (see 3GPP TS 23.272 [42]). This enables in particular mobile terminating roaming forwarding calls during the mobile terminated CS service delivery via an alternative MME in MME pool procedure when the new SGs association is established towards a new VLR (see clause 26 of 3GPP TS 23.007 [43]).
The information flow for mobile terminating roaming forwarding (MTRF) call if the GSMC and the new MSC/VLR are the same node and if they support the option (in step 6) to deliver the MT call directly to the UE without further involving the old MSC/VLR is shown in figure 4ca.

The sequence follows the normal flow for MTRF call after successful Retrieval of Routeing Information (as specified in figure 4c) with the following differences:
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)283GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
1. The GMSC shall include the GMSC address and the Call reference number used by the GMSC for this call in the MAP Send Routing Information . The HLR shall include these parameters in the MAP Provide Roaming Number if received in the MAP Send Routing Information.
2. Steps 1 to 5 as specified for figure 4c.
3. The new MSC/VLR shall determine that it also performs the GMSC function for the call identified by the Call Reference Number if the GMSC address received in the MAP Provide Roaming Number matches its own MSC address.
4. In that case, the GMSC shall send a Release message to the old MSC/VLR. Upon receipt of this message, the old MSC/VLR shall return a Release Complete message to the GMSC.
5. The new MSC/VLR shall close the MAP Dialogue (initiated in step 3) locally (i.e. MAP-Close service with the release method set to "pre-arranged end"). Alternatively, the new MSC/VLR may send a MAP Abort message to the old MSC/VLR after receiving the Release Complete message. The old MSC/VLR shall release all resources associated to the call (if not already done at step 4).
NOTE 5: The MAP Abort message is sent after receipt of the Release Complete message to avoid the old MSC/VLR initiating a Release procedure towards the GMSC or invoking Call Forwarding upon receipt of the MAP Abort message.6. The new MSC/VLR shall then proceed with the establishment of the MT call without further involving the old MSC/VLR.
NOTE 6: The internal messages between the GMSC and the new MSC/VLR are implementation specific and not further described in 3GPP specifications.
5.2.4 Mobile Terminating Roaming Forwarding Call during Retrieval of Routeing Information
The information flow for mobile terminating roaming forwarding (MTRF) call during retrieval of routeing information is shown in figure 4d. It applies to a mobile terminating call while the called mobile is simultaneously moving from an old to a new MSC, if the old and the new terminating MSC/VLRs support the MT Roaming Forwarding procedure. The HLR should also support the Mobile Terminating Roaming Forwarding procedure in order to ensure that roaming forwarding can be offered in all scenarios (e.g. in case of IMSI in the LAU Request from UE); an HLR that supports Optimal Routeing shall support the requirements defined in this clause to ensure that charging requirements for optimal routeing are never contravened. The procedure may e.g. apply during pre-paging if the GMSC, HLR and old MSC/VLR support pre-paging.
The principles and requirements specified for MT Roaming Forwarding Call after successful Retrieval of Routeing Information (see clause 5.2.3) shall also apply for MT Roaming Forwarding Call during Retrieval of Routeing Information with the following modifications or clarifications.
When an MSRN is retrieved successfully from the new MSC/VLR, the old MSC/VLR shall return the received MSRN within the MAP Provide Roaming Number response to the HLR, which allows the call to be routed from the GMSC to the new MSC.

The sequence follows the normal MT terminating call with the following differences:
1-2. Same as steps 1 and step 2 in figure 4c.
3. Same as step 3 in figure 4c, with the addition that the HLR shall not authorise MTRF between the old and the new MSCs if routing the call between the GMSC and the new MSC contravenes charging requirements if Optimal Routeing is supported (see 3GPP TS 23.079[13]).
4. Same as step 4 in figure 4c, where the old MSC/VLR stops pre-paging.
5. Same as step 5 in figure 4c.
6. Same as step 6 in figure 4c. If the OR interrogation indicator is received in the PRN request, the new VLR shall return a PRN negative response if it does not support Optimal Routeing (see 3GPP TS 23.079 [13]).
7. Same as step 7 in figure 4c.

8. The new MSC/VLR returns to the old VLR a MAP Providing Roaming Number response including the MSRN, the new VMSC Address, and if the new MSC/VLR supports the MAP Release Resource procedure, the ReleaseResourcesSupported flag.
9. Upon receipt of the MSRN from the new VLR, the old VLR returns the PRN Ack to the HLR including the MSRN and the VMSC Address received from the new VLR, and the ReleaseResourcesSupported flag if received from the new MSC/VLR.
10. If the HLR needs to return the VMSC Address to the GMSC (as per the conditions specified in 3GPP TS 29.002 [29]), and if a VMSC Address was received with an MSRN in the PRN Ack, the HLR shall pass in the SRI ack to the GMSC the MSRN and the VMSC Address received in the PRN ack. Receipt of the MSRN from the HLR enables the GMSC to relay the call towards the new MSC.
11. Same as step 10 in figure 4c.
5.3 Information flow for an MT call An example information flow for an MT call is shown in figure 5; many variations are possible. ISUP signalling between GMSCB and VMSCB is shown by solid lines; signalling over the B interface between VMSCB and VLRB is shown by chain lines; signalling over the Iu interface (for UMTS) or the A interface (for GSM) between VMSCB and BSSB is shown by dashed lines; and signalling over the radio interface between VMSCB or BSSB and MSB is shown by dotted lines.

NOTE 1: Security procedures may be initiated at any stage after the network has accepted the page response; the position in this message flow diagram is an example.
NOTE 2: If Security procedures are not required, the MSC may send a Start security procedures message indicating that no ciphering is required.
NOTE 3: This message flow diagram assumes that the MS has already been authenticated on location registration. If this is not so (for the first MT call after VLR restoration), the network may initiate authentication after the MS responds to paging.
NOTE 4: The network may request the IMEI from the MS, and may check the IMEI, at any stage after the MS responds to paging, either as part of the procedure to start security procedures or explicitly after security procedures have been started; this is not shown in this message flow diagram.
NOTE 5: If a connection between MSCB and MSB has been established as a result of pre-paging, the paging procedure is not performed.
NOTE 6: If a connection between MSCB and MSB has been established as a result of pre-paging, VLRB sends the Call arrived message to MSCB to stop the guard timer for the release of the radio connection.

When VMSCB receives an IAM from GMSCB it sends to VLRB a request for information to handle the incoming call, using a Send Info For Incoming Call (SIFIC) message containing the roaming number received in the IAM.
If VLRB recognizes the roaming number, and MSB is allowed service, it sends a request to VMSCB to page MSB. If a radio connection between the network and MSB is already established, VMSCB responds immediately to the page request. If no radio connection exists, VMSCB sends a page request to BSSB, and BSSB broadcasts the page on the paging channel. If VPLMNB supports GPRS and the Gs interface between VLRB and the SGSN is implemented (see 3GPP TS 23.060 [9]) and there is a valid association between VLRB and the SGSN for the MS, the paging signal towards the MS goes from VMSCB via VLRB and the SGSN to the BSS.
If MSB detects the page, it sends a channel request to BSSB, which responds with an immediate assignment command, to instruct MSB to use the specified signalling channel. MSB then sends a page response on the signalling channel; BSSB relays this to VMSCB. VMSCB sends a Process access request message to VLRB to indicate that MSB has responded to paging. VLRB may then initiate authentication, as described in 3GPP TS 33.102 [32] for UMTS and 3GPP TS 43.020 [1] for GSM. VLRB may also initiate security procedures at this stage, as described in 3GPP TS 33.102 [32] for UMTS and 3GPP TS 43.020 [1] for GSM.
If the MS is paged in a CSG cell, VLRB shall control if the CSG cell is allowed by the CSG subscription data stored in VLRB. If the CSG cell is not allowed, VLRB shall reject the the Process Access Request.
If the MS is paged in a hybrid cell, VLRA shall set the CSG membership status in the Process Access Request ack according to the CSG subscription data stored in VLRA.
VLRB may restore CSG data from CSS for a MT call after a VLRB restart.
If VLRB determines that MSB is allowed service, it sends a Process access request ack to VMSCB. The Process access request ack message triggers a Start security procedures message towards BSSB; if VMSCB has not received a Start security procedures message from VLRB, the Start security procedures message indicates no ciphering.
VLRB then sends a Complete call message to VMSCB. VMSCB sends a Set-up message towards MSB. The Set-up message may include bearer capability information for the call.
When MSB receives the Set-up message from BSSB, it responds with a Call confirmed message. The Call Confirmed message includes bearer capability information if any of the negotiable parameters of the bearer capability has to be changed. When VMSCB receives the Call confirmed message via BSSB, it sends an Allocate channel message to BSSB. BSSB instructs MSB to tune to a traffic channel by sending an Assignment command. When MSB has tuned to the specified traffic channel it responds with an Assignment complete, message, which BSSB relays to VMSCB as an Allocation complete, and sends an Alerting message to indicate that the called user is being alerted. VMSCB sends an ACM to GMSCB, which relays it to the originating exchange.
When the called user answers, MSB sends a Connect message, which BSSB relays to VMSCB. VMSCB:
- responds with a Connect ack message towards MSB;
- sends an ANM to GMSCB, which relays it to the originating exchange;
- sends a Complete call ack to VLRB.
The network then waits for the call to be cleared.
6 Principles for interactions with supplementary services
This clause specifies the principles used to describe the invocation of the GSM or UMTS supplementary services which were standardized when the present document was drafted. Registration, erasure, activation, deactivation and interrogation are call-independent operations; they are therefore outside the scope of the present document. Descriptions may be found in the stage 2 specifications for each supplementary service.
In the modelling used in the present document, each supplementary service which a network entity supports is managed by a supplementary service handler, which handles data in the entity in which it runs. The call handling processes defined in the present document use the data to define the contents of messages to other entities. The basic call handling processes defined in the present document interact with the supplementary service handlers as shown in the SDL diagrams and the supporting text. If a network entity does not support a supplementary service, it bypasses the

7 Functional requirements of network entities The text in this clause is a supplement to the definition in the SDL diagrams; it does not duplicate the information in the SDL diagrams.
The entities described in this clause interwork with other entities over four different types of interface:
- The Iu interface, used to interwork between the MSC and the UTRAN or the UMTS UE;
- The A interface, used to interwork between the MSC and the GSM BSS or the GSM MS;
- The C, D & F interfaces, used to interwork between the MSC & HLR (C), VLR & HLR (D) and MSC & EIR (F);
- Telephony signalling interfaces, used to interwork between an MSC and another exchange.
The protocols used over the Iu interface are RANAP, which is specified in 3GPP TS 25.413 [27], for interworking with the UTRAN and DTAP, which is specified in 3GPP TS 24.008 [26], for interworking with the MS.
The protocols used over the A interface are BSSMAP, which is specified in 3GPP TS 48.008 [2], for interworking with the BSS and DTAP, which is specified in 3GPP TS 24.008 [26], for interworking with the MS.
The protocol used over the C, D & F interfaces is MAP, which is specified in 3GPP TS 29.002 [29].
For the purposes of the present document, the protocol used over telephony signalling interfaces is ISUP, which is specified in ITU-T Recommendations Q.761[33], Q.762 [34], Q.763 [35] and Q.764 [36]; other telephony signalling systems may be used instead.
The present document shows the call handling application processes interworking with a protocol handler for each of the protocols listed above. Each protocol defines supervision timers. If a supervision timer expires before a distant entity responds to a signal, the handling is as defined in the appropriate protocol specification. In general, the protocol handler reports timer expiry to the application as an error condition or negative response. Where a timer is shown in the present document, therefore, it is an application timer rather than a protocol timer. Interworking with the protocol handlers uses functional signal names which do not necessarily have a one-to-one correspondence with the names of messages used in the protocols.
An MSC which receives an IAM from an originating exchange may react in three different ways:
- It acts as a transit exchange, i.e. it relays the IAM to a destination exchange determined by analysis of the called party address, and thereafter relays other telephony signalling between the originating and destination exchange until the connection is released. This behaviour is not specific to UMTS or GSM;
- It acts as a terminating exchange, i.e. it attempts to connect the call to an MS currently registered in the service area of the MSC;
- It acts as a GMSC, i.e. it interrogates an HLR for information to route the call. If the HLR returns routeing information, the MSC uses the routeing information from the HLR to construct an IAM, which it sends to a destination exchange determined by analysis of the routeing information from the HLR.
Annex A describes the method which the MSC uses to decide how to process the IAM.
The SDL diagrams in this clause show the handling for a number of optional features and services. If the handling consists only of a call to a procedure specific to the feature or service, the procedure call is omitted if the entity does not support an optional feature or service. If the handling consists of more than a call to a procedure specific to the feature or service, the text associated with each SDL diagram specifies the handling which applies if the entity does not support an optional feature or service. For simplicity of description, it is assumed that support for Operator Determined Barring and the Call Forwarding and Call Barring supplementary services is mandatory.

7.2 Retrieval of routeing information for MT call
7.2.1 Functional requirements of GMSC
7.2.1.1 Process MT_GMSC
Sheet 1: the variables ACM sent, Answer sent, Network connect sent, Reconnect and Resume call are global data, accessible to the procedures CCBS_MT_GMSC_Check_CCBS Possible, CCBS_Set_Diagnostic_For_Release, Obtain_Routeing_Address, Send_ACM_If_Required, Send_Answer_If_Required and Send_Network_Connect_If_Required.
Sheet 1: the variable UUS CF interaction is specific to UUS; it is accessible to all UUS specific procedures in the GMSC.
Sheet 1: the procedure MNP_MT_GMSC_Set_MNP_Parameters is specific to Mobile Number Portability; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.066 [10].
Sheet 1: the procedure OR_Set_ORA_Parameters is specific to Support of Optimal Routeing; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.079 [13].
Sheet 1: the procedure CAMEL_Set_ORA_Parameters is specific to CAMEL; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 1: the parameters "Reference address", "OR" and "Own PLMN" are passed to the procedure Obtain_Routeing_Address only if the GMSC supports Optimal Routeing. The parameter "Destination address" is returned by the procedure Obtain_Routeing_Address only if the GMSC supports Optimal Routeing of mobile-to-mobile calls. The Send Routeing Info negative response information element received in the execution of the procedure Obtain_Routeing_Address is global data, available to the parent process.
Sheet 1: the suggested mapping from values of the Send Routeing Info negative response information element to values of the ISUP release cause (see ITU-T Recommendation Q.850 [37]) is shown in table 1. The mapping used is a matter for the network operator, depending on the telephony signalling system used.
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)953GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
Table 1: Suggested mapping of Send Routeing Info (SRI) negative responses to ISUP release causes

21 Call rejected

55 Incoming calls barred within CUG
CUG reject (Subscriber not member of CUG)
87 User not member of CUG
CUG reject (Requested basic service violates CUG constraints)
87 User not member of CUG
Data missing 111 Protocol error, unspecified Facility not supported 69 Requested facility not implemented Forwarding violation 21 Call rejected Number changed 22 Number changed System failure 111 Protocol error, unspecified Teleservice not provisioned 57 Bearer capability not authorized Unexpected data value 111 Protocol error, unspecified Unknown subscriber 1
26 Unallocated (unassigned) number Misrouted call to a ported number (NOTE 1)
NOTE 1: If the Diagnostic parameter indicates "NPDB mismatch", MNP can require a specific ISUP release cause value, according to National Coding Standard, to indicate "Misrouted call to a ported number", depending on national regulations. North American GSM Number Portability (NAGNP) requires the SRI negative response "unknown subscriber" to be treated differently under certain conditions. If the IAM received from the originating exchange contained the HPLMN routing number for NAGNP then the SRI negative response "unknown subscriber" shall be mapped to ISUP release cause number 26 "Misrouted call to a ported number"; under all other conditions the SRI negative response "unknown subscriber" shall be mapped to ISUP release cause number 1 "Unallocated (unassigned) number".
NOTE 2: The GMSC will play an announcement towards the calling user to signal that the call is rejected due to
anonymous call rejection and then include cause 24 "call rejected due to feature at destination" in ACM or CPG. See 3GPP TS 23.088 [21].
Sheet 1: it is an operator option whether to send an Address Complete message if the Number Portability Database returns a routeing number. If the GMSC sends an Address Complete message, it shall include the called party's status field of the Backward call indicator set to "no indication".
Sheet 1: the called party address sent in the IAM to the process MT_CF_MSC is the Forwarded-to number received in the Perform Call Forwarding ack.
Sheet 1: the procedure CAMEL_Store_Destination_Address is specific to CAMEL phase 3 or later; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 1: it is an operator option whether to send an Address Complete message if the HLR returns forwarding information. If the GMSC sends an Address Complete message, it shall include the called party's status field of the Backward call indicator set to "no indication".
Sheet 1, sheet 8: the process CAMEL_MT_LEG1_GMSC is specific to CAMEL phase 4 or later; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 2: the procedures CAMEL_Start_TNRy and CAMEL_Stop_TNRy are specific to CAMEL phase 2 or later; they are specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 2, sheet 3: the procedure CAMEL_MT_MSC_ALERTING is specific to CAMEL phase 4 or later; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12]. If the GMSC does not support CAMEL phase 4 or later, processing continues from the "Pass" exit of the test "Result?".
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)963GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
Sheet 2, sheet 3: the procedure CAMEL_MT_GMSC_ANSWER is specific to CAMEL; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12]. If the GMSC does not support CAMEL, processing continues from the "Pass" exit of the test "Result".
Sheet 2, sheet 3: the task "Set destination address parameter" is executed only if the GMSC supports Optimal Routeing of mobile-to-mobile calls.
Sheet 3: the procedure Handle_COLP_Forwarding_Interaction is specific to COLP.
Sheet 4: the input signal Resume Call Handling and all the subsequent processing on this sheet are specific to Support of Optimal Routeing, and will occur only if the GMSC supports Optimal Routeing. The procedure OR_Handle_RCH is specified in 3GPP TS 23.079 [13].
Sheet 4, sheet 6: the procedure CCBS_MT_GMSC_Check_CCBS_Possible is specific to CCBS; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.093 [23].
Sheet 5: the input signal TNRy expired and all the subsequent processing are specific to CAMEL phase 2 or later, and will occur only if the GMSC supports CAMEL phase 2 or later. The procedure CAMEL_MT_GMSC_DISC5 is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 6: the procedure CAMEL_MT_GMSC_DISC3 is specific to CAMELphase 1; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 6: the procedures CAMEL_MT_GMSC_DISC4 and CAMEL_MT_GMSC_DISC6 are specific to CAMEL phase 2 or later, they are specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 6: the procedure CCBS_Set_Diagnostic_For_Release is specific to CCBS; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.093 [23].
Sheet 6, sheet 7: the processing in the branch beginning with the Int_Release_Call input will occur only if the MSC supports CAMEL.

7.2.2.2 Procedure Check_Parameters
If any parameters required by the rules in clause 8 are missing from the message, the procedure sets the negative response to "Data missing". If any parameter has a value which is not in the set of values expected for the parameter, the procedure sets the negative response to "Unexpected data value".
7.2.2.3 Procedure Subscription_Check_HLR
The HLR derives the possible PLMN bearer capability to populate the parameter in the Provide Roaming Number request according to the rules defined in 3GPP TS 29.007 [30].
If the HLR is able to determine the PLMN bearer capability or equivalent ISDN compatibility information to be sent to the VLR in the Provide Roaming Number request, it applies the corresponding PLMN bearer service or teleservice for handling the call. If the HLR is not able to determine any compatibility information to be sent to the VLR in the Provide Roaming Number request, it applies a default basic service according to the requirements of the operator.
If the HLR receives Send Routeing Information from the gsmSCF and the HLR is not able to determine any compatibility information to be sent to the VLR in the Provide Roaming Number request, then the HLR shall apply basic service TS11.
NOTE The information element "gsmSCF Initiated Call" in Send Routeing Information serves as an indication to the HLR that this Send Routeing Information is sent by the gsmSCF. Refer to 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
It is an implementation option to carry out the check for operator determined barring of incoming calls before the check on provisioning of the requested basic service.
The test "gsmSCF Initiated Call?" is specific to CAMEL phase 4 or later. If the HLR does not support CAMEL phase 4 or later, processing continues from the "No" exit.
The test "Suppress CUG Handling?" is specific to CAMEL phase 4 or later. If the HLR does not support CAMEL phase 4 or later, processing continues from the "No" exit.

Sheet 1: the procedure Check_Parameters is specified in subclause 7.2.2.2.
Sheet 1: the test "Pre-paging allowed" takes the "yes" exit if:
- the information element "Pre-paging supported" was present in the Provide Roaming Number message; or
- as an operator option, the paging procedure can be completed before the minimum timer value for the Provide Roaming Number operation timer in the HLR has elapsed.
Sheet 1: the procedure Check_Reason_In_Serving_Network_Entity is specific to Super-Charger; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.116 [24]. If the VLR does not support Super-Charger, processing continues from the "No" exit of the test "Result=Purged?".

Sheet 1: Pre-paging is not applicable if the Provide Roaming Number request includes the MTRF Indicator.
Sheet 2, sheet 3, sheet 6, sheet 7: the procedure CAMEL_SET_SOA is specific to CAMEL; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 2, sheet 3, sheet 6, sheet 7: the task "Store alerting pattern (if received)" is executed only if the VLR supports the feature Network Indication of Alerting.
Sheet 2, sheet 3, sheet 6, sheet 7: the procedure CLI_PRN_VLR is specific to Enhanced CLI Handling. It is specified in 3GPP TS 23.081 [14].
Sheet 2, sheet 3, sheet 6, sheet 7: the procedure CCBS_Handle_PRN is specific to CCBS; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.093 [23].
Sheet 2, sheet 4: A VLR not supporting the flag "Subscriber data dormant" shall behave as if this flag is set to false.
Sheet 2: As an implementation option, the VLR may skip the "Authorize_MTRF_VLR" procedure (i.e. assume the result of that procedure takes the "Pass" exit) and allocates an MSRN before the completion of the MAP Update Location procedure with the HLR.
Sheet 3, sheet 4: the number of unused authentication sets which triggers the VLR to request further authentication sets from the HLR is an operator option.
Sheet 3, sheet 4: the process Fetch_Authentication_Sets_VLR is specified in subclause 7.1.2.11.
Sheet 4: the procedure Search_For_MS_VLR is specified in subclause 7.3.2.3.
Sheet 4: the test "Paging via SGSN possible" takes the "yes" exit if:
- the Gs interface is implemented; and
- there is an association established for the MS between the MSC/VLR and the SGSN.
Sheet 4: "Location cancelled" cause is set when VMSC receives Cancel Location while paging.
Sheet 6: "Location cancelled with new VLR address" cause is set when VMSC receives Cancel Location with MTRF Supported And Authorized while paging and new MSC/VLR numbers have been received either in the Cancel Location or the Send Identification message.
Sheet 7, sheet 8: the state variables PAR pending, PAR successful and Fatal PAR error are global data, accessible to the matching instance of the process ICH_VLR, which is linked by the MSRN.
Sheet 8: this process communicates with the matching instance of the process ICH_VLR, which is linked by the MSRN.
Sheet 8: the test " Fatal PAR error?" takes the "Yes" exit if:
- the MS failed authentication; or
- the MS failed IMEI checking; or
- the HLR returned an "Unknown subscriber" error;
during the handling of the Process Access Request.
7.2.3.2 Process Restore_Subscriber_Data_VLR
7.2.3.3 Process PSI_VLR
Sheet 1: the procedure Check_Parameters is specified in subclause 7.2.2.2. If the HLR requests none of location information subscriber state, MS classmark and IMEI, the VLR treats this as a missing parameter.
Sheet 2: the test "Active retrieval required" takes the "Yes" exit if any one or more of current location, MS classmark or IMEI is indicated in the Provide Subscriber Info request.
7.2.3.4 Procedure Retrieve_Location_Info_VLR
The test "Retrieve location info from SGSN" takes the "Yes" exit if:
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)1493GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
- the Gs interface is implemented; and
- there is an association established between the VLR and the SGSN.
The stored location information consists of:
- the service area ID (for UMTS) or cell ID (for GSM) or the tracking area ID and the E-UTRAN cell ID (for E-UTRAN) of the cell in which the MS last established radio contact;
- the location number, geodetic information and geographical information derived from the service area ID or cell ID if the VLR is capable of doing so (the mapping from service area ID or cell ID to location number is network-specific and outside the scope of the UMTS and GSM standards);
- the age of the location information.
The output signal Send MS information towards the SGSN indicates that the required information is mobile location information.
The received location information consists of:
- the service area ID (for UMTS) or cell ID(for GSM) received in the paging response message or in the Send MS Information ack or the tracking area ID and the E-UTRAN cell ID (for E-UTRAN) received in the SGs service request;
- the location number, geodetic information and geographical information derived from the service area ID or cell ID if the VLR is capable of doing so (the mapping from cell ID to location number is network-specific and outside the scope of the UMTS and GSM standards);
- the age of the location information.
The derivation of the location number, geodetic information and geographical information from the received service area ID or cell ID is a VLR operator option (the mapping from service area ID or cell ID to location number is network-specific and outside the scope of the UMTS and GSM standards).
7.2.3.5 Procedure Active_Info_Retrieval_VLR
Sheet 1: the test "Paging via SGSN possible" takes the "yes" exit if:
- the Gs interface is implemented; and
- the VLR configuration requires paging via the SGSN during VLR restoration.
If the SGs interface is implemented and the conditions for paging over the SGs interface as specified in subclause 5.1.2.2 of 3GPP TS 29.118 [41] are fulfilled, the VLR shall send an SGs paging request to the MME. The VLR should indicate the "SMS" service indicator in the SGs paging request if the LocationInformationEPS-Supported flag was received in the Provide Subscriber Information request; otherwise the VLR should indicate the "CS" service indicator. If the VLR indicates the "SMS" service indicator, the VLR should then send an SGs Release Request message to the MME upon receipt of the SGs Service Request message (including the tracking area ID and E-UTRAN cell ID).
The VLR should return in the Provide Subscriber Information response the tracking area ID and E-UTRAN cell ID received from the MME if the LocationInformationEPS-Supported flag was received in the Provide Subscriber Information request and the UE uses the E-UTRAN radio access; otherwise the VLR should return the service area ID (for UMTS) or cell ID (for GSM) received from UTRAN or GERAN.
NOTE: Using the "CS" service indicator leads the UE to fallback to GERAN or UTRAN radio access which can affect on-going PS sessions of the user, e.g. suspend on-going PS sessions if the UE fallbacks to GERAN radio access and Dual Transfer Mode is not supported, and which can cause extra Location Update signalling in the network.
Sheet 2: the output signal Page MS towards the SGSN includes or omits the Location area identity parameter depending on the availability of this information. If it is omitted, the signal Page MS is sent to every SGSN to which the VLR is connected.
The test "Report upon change of service area" takes the yes exit if the MSC has performed the Location Reporting Control procedure with the Request Type IE set to "change of service area" [26].
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)1503GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
If the test "Report upon change of service area" takes the no exit, then the MSC shall perform a Location Reporting Control procedure with the Request Type IE set to "Direct".

7.2.4 Functional requirements of MSC
7.2.4.1 Process Prepage_MSC
7.2.4.2 Procedure Prepaging_Page_MS_MSC
The test "MS connection exists" takes the "Yes" exit if there is a radio connection established between the MS and the network.
The test "MS busy" takes the "Yes" exit if the MS is engaged on a circuit-switched call.
The signal input "MS connection established" indicates that the MS has responded to paging, or sent a CM service request for anything other than a circuit-switched call, or completed the location registration procedure.
7.2.4.3 Prepaging_Search_For_MS_MSC
The test "MS connection exists" takes the "Yes" exit if there is a radio connection established between the MS and the network.
The test "MS busy" takes the "Yes" exit if the MS is engaged on a circuit-switched call.
The signal input "MS connection established" indicates that the MS has responded to paging, or sent a CM service request for anything other than a circuit-switched call, or completed the location registration procedure.
7.2.4.4 Process OSI_MSC
If the MS is engaged on a circuit-switched call, the state is busy, otherwise assumed idle.
7.2.4.5 Process RCL_MSC
This process runs when the MSC receives a Page MS message or a Search for MS message with a Page type indicating Active Info Retrieval.
7.2.4.6 Procedure Active_Info_Retrieval_Page_MSC
The test "MS connection exists" takes the "Yes" exit if there is a radio connection established between the MS and the network.
The test "GSM Access" takes the "Yes" exit if the MS is using a GSM radio access to communicate with the network.
The test "Report on change of service area?" takes the "Yes" exit if the MSC has performed the Location Reporting Control procedure (see 3GPP TS 25.413 [27]) with the Request Type IE set to "Change of service area".
If the test "Report on change of service area?" takes the "No" exit the MSC shall perform a Location Reporting Control procedure with the Request Type IE set to "Direct".
7.2.4.7 Procedure Active_Info_Retrieval_Search_MSC
The test "MS connection exists" takes the "Yes" exit if there is a radio connection established between the MS and the network.
The test "GSM Access" takes the "Yes" exit if the MS is using a GSM radio access to communicate with the network.
The test "Report on change of service area?" takes the "Yes" exit if the MSC has performed the Location Reporting Control procedure (see 3GPP TS 25.413 [26]) with the Request Type IE set to "Change of service area".
If the test "Report on change of service area?" takes the "No" exit the MSC shall perform a Location Reporting Control procedure with the Request Type IE set to "Direct".
7.2.4.8 Procedure Retrieve_IMEI_If_Required
If the IMEI is retrieved using an existing connection between the MS and the network (as opposed to a connection which has been set up for active information retrieval), the Release transaction signal is relayed to the MSC process which is supervising the existing connection.

7.3.1.2 Procedure Page_MS_MSC
Sheet 1: the test "MS connection exists" takes the "Yes" exit if there is a radio connection established between the MS and the network.
Sheet 1: for an SMS or SS page, the test "Call still exists" takes the "Yes" exit if the SMS or SS transaction which led to the page still exists.
Sheet 1: the test "SMS or SS page" is not required for the handling of circuit-switched calls, because the VLR will always use a page type of "circuit-switched call", but the more generalized procedure Page_MS_MSC is equally applicable to paging for SMS delivery or network-initiated SS procedures.
Sheet 1: If the MSC supports the option to delay Mobile Terminating CM request during a location update procedure (see 3GPP TS 24.008 [13] section 4.5.1.3.1 Mobile Terminating CM Activity):
If location update procedure is ongoing for the MS,
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)1773GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
If the "follow-on" indicator is received and MSC supports "follow-on" feature, the Page_MS_MSC procedure should return FAIL after sending Page MS negative response (cause Busy Subscriber) to VLR.
Otherwise, the MSC should delay the launching of Page_MS_MSC procedure until the location update procedure ends.
- If the result of location update is successful and location update is not through Gs interface, then Page_MS_MSC procedure returns with PASS.
- If the result of location update is successful and location update is through Gs interface, then Page_MS_MSC continues from the beginning of the procedure.
- If the result of location update is not successful, then the procedure should return FAIL after sending Page MS negative response (cause Absent Subscriber) to VLR.
Sheet 2: the procedure Check_MT_Multicall_MSC is specific to Multicall; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.135 [25]. If the VMSC does not support Multicall, processing continues from the "Yes" exit of the test "Result=Not provisioned?".
Sheet 2: the test "Call in set-up" takes the "Yes" exit if the call on which the MS is engaged has not reached the established phase (called party answer).
Sheet 2: the test Call waiting" takes the "Yes" exit if a waiting call has been offered to the subscriber but the outcome of offering the call has not been determined.
Sheet 2: if there is one established call, the negative response Busy Subscriber (More calls possible) includes the basic service which applies for the established call. If there are two or more established calls (the Multicall case), the negative response Busy Subscriber (More calls possible) includes the basic service list which applies for the established calls (See 3GPP TS 23.135 [25]).
Sheet 3: the signal input "MS connection established" indicates that the MS has responded to paging, or sent a CM service request for anything other than a circuit-switched call, or completed the location registration procedure.
Sheet 4: A MSC not implementing the MT Roaming Retry feature and the MT Roaming Forwarding feature may not immediately stop paging upon receipt of a Cancel Location message.
7.3.1.3 Procedure Search_For_MS_MSC
Sheet 1: the test "MS connection exists" takes the "Yes" exit if there is a radio connection established between the MS and the network.
Sheet 1: for an SMS or SS page, the test "Call still exists" takes the "Yes" exit if the SMS or SS transaction which led to the page still exists.
Sheet 1: the test "SMS or SS page" is not required for the handling of circuit-switched calls, because the VLR will always use a page type of "circuit-switched call", but the more generalized procedure Search_For_MS_MSC is equally applicable to paging for SMS delivery or network-initiated SS procedures.
Sheet 1: If the MSC supports the option to delay the Mobile Terminating CM request during a location update procedure (see 3GPP TS 24.008 [13] section 4.5.1.3.1 Mobile Terminating CM Activity):
If location update procedure is ongoing for the MS, and if the "follow-on" indicator is received and the MSC supports the "follow-on" feature, the Search_MS_MSC procedure should return FAIL after sending Search MS negative response (cause Busy Subscriber) to VLR.
Otherwise, the MSC should delay the launching of Search_MS_MSC procedure until location update procedure ends.
- If the result of location update is successful and location update is not through Gs interface, then the Search_MS_MSC procedure returns with PASS.
- If the result of location update is successful and location update is through Gs interface, then the procedure continues from the beginning of the Page_MS_MSC procedure.
- If the result of the location update is not successful, then the procedure should return FAIL after sending the Search MS negative response (cause Absent Subscriber) to VLR.

7.3.2 Functional requirements of VLR
7.3.2.1 Process ICH_VLR
Sheet 1: if the MSRN received in the Send Info For Incoming Call is not allocated or there is no IMSI record for the IMSI identified by the MSRN or the MS is marked as "Subscriber data dormant" (e.g. due to super-charger), this is treated as an unknown MSRN.
Sheet 1: MT roaming retry is not triggered for an incoming call that arrives at the old VLR after the receipt of the MAP Send Identification request from the new VLR but before the receipt of the MAP Cancel Location from the HLR. The "Cancel Location received" flag enables to differentiate for a subscriber whose subscriber data is dormant whether a Cancel Location has been received or not from the HLR.
Sheet 1: the procedure CAMEL_ICH_VLR is specific to CAMEL phase 3 or later; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12]. If the VLR does not support CAMEL phase 3 or later, processing continues from the possible call of the procedure CCBS_ICH_Set_CCBS_Call_Indicator. .
Sheet 1: If the MSRN is not allocated, "GMSC supports MT Roaming Retry" takes "No" exit.
Sheet 1: If no IMSI record is found, the " Subscriber data dormant" check takes the "False" exit.
Sheet 1: A VLR not supporting the flag "Subscriber data dormant" shall behave as if the flag is set to false.
Sheet 1: the procedure CCBS_ICH_Set_CCBS_Call_Indicator is specific to CCBS; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.093 [23].
Sheet 1: the VLR derives the basic service required for the call according to the rules defined in 3GPP TS 29.007 [30].
Sheet 1, sheet 2, sheet 5: the procedure CCBS_ICH_VLR_Report_Failure is specific to CCBS; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.093 [23].
Sheet 1, sheet 3: the procedure CCBS_ICH_Report_Not_Reachable is specific to CCBS; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.093 [23].
Sheet 2: this process communicates with the matching instance of the process PRN_VLR, which is linked by the MSRN.
Sheet 2: the test "Paging via SGSN possible" takes the "yes" exit if:
- the Gs interface is implemented; and
- there is an association established for the MS between the MSC/VLR and the SGSN.
Sheet 3: the test "NDUB?" takes the "Yes" exit if the Page MS negative response or the Search for MS negative response had the value Busy Subscriber (NDUB).
Sheet 3: the procedure Get_CW_Subscription_Info_VLR is specific to Call Waiting. If the VLR does not support Call Waiting, processing continues from the "No" exit of the test "CW available?".
Sheet 3: the procedure Get_CW_Subscription_Info_Multicall_VLR is specific to Multicall; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.135 [34]. If the VLR does not support both Multicall and Call Waiting, processing continues from the "No" exit of the test "CW available?".
Sheet 3: the VLR uses the basic service returned in the Page MS negative response or the Search for MS negative response Busy Subscriber (More calls possible) to determine whether call waiting is available.
Sheet 3: the procedure Get_LI_Subscription_Info_MT_VLR is specific to CLIP and COLR. If the VLR supports neither CLIP nor COLR, the procedure call is omitted.
Sheet3: the procedure Get_AoC_Subscription_Info_VLR is specific to AoC; it is specified in subclause 7.1.2.15.
Sheet 3 sheet 6: the procedure CLI_ICH_VLR_Add_CLI is specific to Enhanced CLI Handling. It is specified in 3GPP TS 23.081 [14].
Sheet 3: the procedure CCBS_ICH_Handle_NDUB is specific to CCBS; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.093 [23]. If the VLR does not support CCBS, processing continues from the "Forward" exit of the test "Result".
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)2223GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
Sheet 3: the procedure Process_Access_Request_VLR is specified in subclause 7.1.2.2.
Sheet 3: the output signal Page MS towards the SGSN includes the Location area identity parameter.
Sheet 3: if the VLR does not support CUG, handling continues from the "No" exit of the test "CUG info present?".
Sheet 3: the "MT Roaming Forwarding Supported" check takes the "Yes" exit if both the MSC and the VLR support that feature. If both the MT Roaming Retry and the MT Roaming Forwarding procedures are supported, and if the conditions for using these procedures are met, the VLR can decide based on operator policy which procedure to follow.
Sheet 3: MT Roaming Forwarding is possible towards the new VLR if the conditions defined in subclause 5.2.3 are fulfilled. If so, the old VLR sends a MAP Provide Roaming Number request to the new VLR whose address was received in the MAP Cancel Location message or the MAP Send Identification message. In addition to the requirements specified in subclause 10.2.3 of 3GPP TS 29.002 [29], the MAP Provide Roaming Number request shall not include the "OR Interrogation" parameter when being sent as part of the MT Roaming Forwarding call after successful retrieval of routeing information procedure.
Sheet 4, sheet 6: the procedure CAMEL_CHECK_SII2_CDTI is specific to CAMEL Phase 3 or later; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12]. If the GMSC does not support CAMEL Phase 3 or later, processing continues from the "Yes" exit of the test "Result = Pass?".
Sheet 5, sheet 6: the procedure CD_Authorization is specific to Call Deflection, it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.072 [11]. If the VLR does not support Call Deflection, processing continues from the "Yes" exit of the test "Result=Aborted?".
Sheet 5, sheet 6: the procedure CCBS_ICH_Handle_UDUB is specific to CCBS; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.093 [23].
Sheet 6: the test "NDUB?" is executed only if the VLR supports CCBS. If the VLR does not support CCBS, processing continues from connector 5.
Sheet 7: the procedure CCBS_ICH_Set_CCBS_Target is specific to CCBS; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.093 [23].
Sheet 7: the procedure Handle_CFNRc is specified in subclause 7.2.2.11.
Sheet 8: the procedure Forward_CUG_Check is specific to CUG; it is specified in subclause 7.2.2.6. If the VLR does not support CUG, processing continues from the "Yes" exit of the test "Result=Call allowed?".
Sheet 8: the procedures CAMEL_O_CSI_Check_VLR, and CAMEL_D_CSI_Check_VLR are specific to CAMEL phase 3 or later; they are specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
7.3.2.2 Void
7.3.2.3 Procedure Search_For_MS_VLR
The test "Paging via SGSN possible" takes the "yes" exit if:
- the Gs interface is implemented; and
- the VLR configuration requires paging via the SGSN during VLR restoration.
The output signal Page MS towards the SGSN omits the Location area identity parameter. It is sent to every SGSN to which the VLR is connected.
7.3.2.4 Procedure Get_CW_Subscription_Info_VLR
The VMSC may abort the transaction with the VLR while a response is awaited from the process MAF013. The message is saved for processing after return from the procedure.
7.3.2.5 Procedure Get_LI_Subscription_Info_MT_VLR
The VMSC may abort the transaction with the VLR while a response is awaited from the process CLIP_MAF001 or the process COLR_MAF040. The message is saved for processing after return from the procedure.
7.3.2.6 Procedure Handle_CFB
The test "Normal call busy" refers to the value of the indicator returned by the process MAF008.
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)2233GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15

7.4 Subs_FSM
7.4.1 Functional requirements of serving MSC
7.4.1.1 Process Subs_FSM
One instance of the process Subs_FSM runs for each subscriber who is involved in at least one call. It monitors the state of any ongoing calls for that subscriber. The individual call control processes OCH_MSC and ICH_MSC submit supplementary service requests received from the MS to the process Subs_FSM, which then responds appropriately.
The process Subs_FSM interacts with the processes OCH_MSC and ICH_MSC as specified in subclauses 7.1.1 and 7.3.1.

7.5 TO call
7.5.1 Functional requirements of inter-connecting MSC
7.5.1.1 Process TO_MSC
Sheet 1: the procedure CAMEL_TOC_INIT is specific to CAMEL; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12]. If the MSC does not support CAMEL, processing continues from the "Pass" exit of the test "Result=?". The procedure call formal parameter "First" or "NotFirst" indicates whether the procedure was called earlier in the same call.
Sheet 1, sheet 4: the procedure CAMEL_TOC_Dialled_Services is specific to CAMEL phase 3 or later; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12]. If the MSC does not support CAMEL trunk triggering, processing continues from the "Pass" exit of the test "Result?". The procedure call formal parameter "First" or "NotFirst" indicates whether the procedure was called earlier in the same call.
Sheet 1: the procedure MOBILE_NUMBER_PORTABILITY_IN_OQoD is specific to Mobile Number Portability; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.066 [10].
Sheet 1, sheet 2, sheet 3: the procedure CAMEL_Store_Destination_Address is specific to CAMEL phase 3 or later; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 1, sheet 4: the procedure CAMEL_OCH_MSC_DISC3 is specific to CAMEL phase 1; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 1, sheet2, sheet 4: the procedure CAMEL_OCH_MSC_DISC4 is specific to CAMEL Phase 2 or later; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 1, sheet 7: the procedure CAMEL_MT_CF_LEG1_MSC is specific to CAMEL phase 4 or later; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 1, sheet 2: The variable "Return_Place" indicates at which detection point the additional digit collection is.
Sheet 1, sheet 2: The "inter-digit timer" is a MSC internal timer to wait for additional dialling from the incoming side. At the expiry of the timer, the MSC/gsmSSF may report digits to the gsmSCF (if the event detection point is armed). This timer is used for the SDL modelling purposes only and it may not present the actual implementations.
Sheet 2: "Number_of_Digits" is the Collected_Info specific reporting criterion. The gsmSCF specifies the criterion. The process CS_gsmSSF sends the parameter to the TO_MSC process.
Sheet 2: "ST digit" is the ISUP value for a digit indicating that the Called Party Number is complete.
Sheet 3: the procedures CAMEL_Start_TNRy and CAMEL_Stop TNRy are specific to CAMEL phase 2 or later; they are specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 3: the procedure CAMEL_CF_MSC_ANSWER is specific to CAMEL; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12]. If the MSC does not support CAMEL, processing continues from the "Pass" exit of the test "Result?".
Sheet 3: the procedure UUS_MSC_Clear_UUS is specific to UUS; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.087 [20].
Sheet 3: the procedure CAMEL_CF_MSC_ALERTING is specific to CAMEL phase 4 or later; it is specifed in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12]. If the GMSC does not support CAMEL phase 4 or later, processing continues from the "Pass" exit of the test "Result?".
Sheet 4: the procedure CAMEL_Stop_TNRy is specific to CAMEL phase 2 or later; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
Sheet 4: the processing in the branch beginning with the Int_O_Release input will occur only if the MSC supports CAMEL.
Sheet 5: the input signal TNRy expired and all the subsequent processing are specific to CAMEL phase 2 or later, and will occur only if the GMSC supports CAMEL phase 2 or later. The procedure CAMEL_OCH_MSC2 is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].
ETSI
ETSI TS 123 018 V15.0.0 (2018-07)2613GPP TS 23.018 version 15.0.0 Release 15
Sheet 6: the procedure CAMEL_OCH_MSC_DISC1 is specific to CAMEL; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12]. If the MSC does not support CAMEL, processing continues from the "No" exit of the test "Result=CAMEL handling?".
Sheet 6: the procedure CAMEL_OCH_MSC_DISC2 is specific to CAMEL; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12]. If the MSC does not support CAMEL, processing continues from the "No" exit of the test "Result=Reconnect?" .
Sheet 6: the processing in the branch beginning with the Int_O_Release input will occur only if the MSC supports CAMEL.
Sheet 6: after the process TO_MSC has sent an IAM to the forwarded-to exchange, it acts as a relay for messages received from the parent process and the forwarded-to exchange.
Sheet 7: the process CAMEL_MT_CF_LEG2_MSC is specific to CAMEL phase 4 or later; it is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 [12].

In the tables which follow, information elements are shown as mandatory (M), conditional (C) or optional (O). A mandatory information element shall always be present. A conditional information element shall be present if certain conditions are fulfilled; if those conditions are not fulfilled it shall be absent. An optional element may be present or absent, at the discretion of the application at the sending entity.
Some messages which are defined in this clause are used for other services or features. The specifications (referred to below as "derived specifications") for those services or features may simply refer to the present document for the definition of the message; in this case the requirements for the presence of each information element are as defined in this clause. If the specification for a service or feature requires information elements in a message additional to those specified in this clause, the requirements for the presence of the additional information elements are specified in the relevant specification. If the specification for a service or feature has different requirements for the presence of an information element in a message which is specified in this clause, then the following principles apply:
- If the information element is shown as mandatory in this clause, it shall always be present.
- If the information element is shown as conditional or optional in this clause, but mandatory in the derived specification, it shall always be present in the context of the service or feature defined in the derived specification.
- If the information element is shown as conditional or optional in this clause, and the conditions in the derived specification require the information element to be present, it shall be present even if the conditions in this clause do not require it to be present.

Annex A (informative): Handling of an IAM at an MSC An MSC which receives an IAM from an originating exchange may react in three different ways:
- It acts as a transit exchange, i.e. it relays the IAM to a destination exchange determined by analysis of the called party address, and thereafter relays other telephony signalling between the originating and destination exchange until the connection is released. This behaviour is not specific to UMTS or GSM.
- It acts as a terminating exchange, i.e. it attempts to connect the call to an MS currently registered in the service area of the MSC.
- It acts as a GMSC, i.e. it interrogates an HLR for information to route the call. If the HLR returns routeing information, the MSC uses the routeing information from the HLR to construct an IAM, which it sends to a destination exchange determined by analysis of the routeing information from the HLR.
Sheet 1: when the MSC co-ordinating setup procedure has decided whether the MSC is to act as a terminating VMSC, a GMSC or a transit exchange, it forwards the IAM to an idle instance of the appropriate process.
