2.4 Prerequisites 2.5 General

When a mobile originating call is initiated, a chain of analysis functions are started. This document describes the basic DT involved in the traffic cases "Call from MS/UE to PSTN" and " Emergency call from MS/UE" or UE (user equipment). In the traffic case "Call from MS/UE to MS/UE" the mobile originating part of the call is handled similarly to what Is described in this document. For the terminating part, see traffic case description "Mobile Terminating calls" doc. no. 14/190 46-FAD 104 08 Uen in the DT Info model.

2.6 Technical Solution

3 Traffic Case
3.1 Call from MS/UE to PSTN
In the description below an example of a mobile originating call to PSTN is given, following the logical sequence for DT analysis. A mobile subscriber wants to make a normal speech call from his Mobile Station. He dials the number "08 123456" and presses the "call set-up" button.

Figure 1 DT Analysis Flow Chart.The broken line shows the output path used in later analysis.

3.1.1 Telecommunication Service Analysis

When a mobile subscriber initiates a call, a call set up message is sent from the MS/UE to the BSC/RNC which delivers it to the MSC. In the message a GSM Bearer Capability (GSM BC) is sent. If the call is an ordinary speech call, the BC indicates "speech". The parameter is converted into a Basic Service Code (BASC). The BASC is the input to the Telecommunication Service analysis, which determines, what type of calls the MSC/VLR supports (see sub file 16000). Example: The call is a normal speech call and will result in TSC=1.

MGTEI:TEC=THY, TSC=1;

In UMTS the parameter UMTS indicates that telecommunication service analysis data for UMTS is to be defined.
MGTEI:TEC=THY, TSC=1, UMTS;

The output here is TSC, which serves as a pointer to the command MGTCI. This command specifies the network requirements i.e. Wanted Type of Signalling, Tone Protection etc.
MGTCI:TSC=1, WSIG=NOIS, TPI=NO, ..... Telecommunication Service Code Wanted Type of Signalling Tone Protection Information

If the telecommunication service is supported in the exchange, the VLR checks if the subscriber has the proper subscriber service. If the subscription is missing, the call set up will be cancelled. Example: A mobile subscriber has the subscription "Teleservice Telephony" (TS11), so the call is allowed.

3.1.2 A-Number Analysis

General A-number analysis is carried out in two stages. The first stage is referred to as preanalysis of the A-number and then the analysis of the A-number takes place. Pre A-Number Analysis The pre-analysis acts as a filter and then as a selector. Due to the pre-analysis, it is possible to reduce the number of origins used in the A-number analysis tables. The preanalysis uses the extra information contained in the set up message originating from the MS/UE, the A-Number Type and the Number Plan (ANT and NAPI). This makes it possible to distinguish between a normal MS/UE originated call, International call and a Forwarded-to number in the pre A-number analysis (see sub file 15800).
PNASI:NAPI=1, ANT=1, OAA=0; A-Number Type Origin for A-number analysis

Example: The mobile subscribers A-number is analyzed in international format. A-Number Analysis

The A-number analysis can be used to route different A-number series to different destination. It can also be used to restrict an A-number series from calling a particular destination or specify differentiated charging for national and international subscribers. The A-number is the calling subscribers MSISDN. The MSISDN is sent to the MSC/VLR during the location updating procedure. (see sub file 15800).
ANASI:A=0-46, ACO=0; A-Number A-Number Charging Origin

Example: Swedish A-numbers gets ACO-0.

3.1.3 IMSI Number Analysis

Information about the MS/UE is fetched from the IMSI number analysis (sub file 76000). This information includes parameters like OBA, CBA and NATMS. The parameter OBA is the input to the B-number analysis. It specifies the origin for start of pre B-number analysis. Example: The mobile subscribers IMSI number is included in the IMSI number series below.
MGISI:IMSI=240 01 75, ............ ANRES=OBA-30, CBA-46, NATMS, .....;

Origin for B-number analysis Call Barring Access (BOIEXH) National Mobile Subscriber

3.1.4 B-Number Analysis

General B-number analysis is carried out in two stages. The first stage is referred to as preanalysis of the B-number and then the analysis of the B-number takes place. Pre B-Number Analysis The principle for B-number analysis is the same as for pre A-number analysis, see paragraph 3.1.2.
PNBSI:BO=30, BNT=2, OBA=30; PNBSI:BO=30, BNT=1, OBA=32; Pre B-number origin (from MGISI) B-number type (BNT=2 unknown format) Origin for B-number analysis Pre B-number origin (from MGISI) B-number type (BNT=1 International format) Origin for B-number analysis

Example: The mobile subscriber dialled "08 123456" which is a number in "Unknown format". The number will therefore be analyzed in OBA=30. All MS/UE originated calls are in "Unknown format" except if " International format" is specially chosen on the MS/UE. All Forwarded-to-number and all numbers using + as a prefix should be in "International format" (see sub file 78000). B-Number Analysis From the pre B-number analysis the Origin for B-number analysis (OBA) is derived. The B-number analysis makes an analysis of the dialled number. The table delivers a large amount of analysis results which are used in other analysis tables, e.g. Route and Charging analysis.
ANBSI:B=30-08, L=7-12, M=1, BNT=4, CC=4, D=4-1, RC=1; Analysed number Number length Modification of number (removes first digit) New B-number type Charging Case Destination Code Routing Case

Example:The mobile subscriber dialled 08 123456, which means that the number will be modified (0 removed => 8 123456), BNT set to 4 and RC=1 is fetched.

3.1.5 Access Barring Analysis

General Access barring analysis is the method of determining whether a MS/UE is permitted to make a call. This function is invoked by the use of the D parameter from the analysis of the B-number and points to a table for access barring. National Calls The D-parameter (Destination code) received from the B-number analysis is connected to a TDCL (Trunk Discrimination Class, see sub file 15500).
ANDSI:D=4-1, TDCL=1;

The TDCL value is compared to the Calling Barring Access (CBA) value. If they are equal then the call will fail and if they are not then the call can proceed. The CBA value is a translation of the subscriber data for barring (BAOC, BOIC, OBA, OBI etc.) fetched from block MTV (see parameter list for the block MTV).

Example: The mobile subscriber has no barring services active, so the call is permitted. International Calls The concept for barring of international calls are the same as described above except for the barring service "Barring of all outgoing international calls except those directed to the home PLMN" (BOIEXH). The BOIEXH service uses the CBA value defined in the IMSI number analysis. This value is determined by the network operator, values 13 to 255 are available for use. Let's say that a German subscriber with SS BOIEXH active roams in our MSC and wants to make an international call home to Germany.
MGISI:IMSI=262 02 => CBA-49 ANBSI:B=32-49 => D=6-49 ANDSI:D=6-49, TDCL=1&2&44&46;

The CBA value from the IMSI analysis is compared with the TDCL value pointed out (via the Access Barring table) in the B-number analysis. The values are not equal, so the call can proceed. If a U.K. subscriber with SS BOIEXH active roams in our MSC and wants to make an international call to Germany, the call will be barred due to that the fetched CBA-44 and the TDCL value pointed out in the B-number analysis are equal.
MGISI:IMSI=234 15 => CBA-44 ANBSI:B=32-49 => D=6-49 ANDSI:D=6-49 TDCL=1&2&44&46;

3.1.6 Routing Case Analysis

Another output from the B-number analysis table is the Routing Case (RC) This parameter is analyzed in the Routing Case analysis table to determine the outgoing route for the call to proceed. The outgoing route must already be defined (command EXROI). Different routing alternatives can be chosen and branching can be done on several input parameters, such as Transmission Medium Requirement (TMR) (see sub file 15400).
ANRPI:RC=1; ANRSI:BR=TMR-0,ESR=1,R=PSTNO... => Speech call, ECs required ANRSI:BR=TMR-1&&-4,R=PSTNO..... => Data call, ECs not required ANRPE;

The TMR (input from the call set up message) is used as a branching parameter to control the Echo Cancellers (EC) function. Example: A route towards PSTN is pointed out in the RC analysis.

3.1.7 Route Definition

The definition of a route is a group of devices each having the same qualities. By qualities we mean: destination, device type, signalling system and any other characteristics.
EXROI:R=PSTNO,DETY=UPD,FNC=3,SP=2-400,SI=ISUP4;

Example: A route towards PSTN has been pointed out in the Routing Case analysis.

3.1.8 Charging Analysis

Initial Charging Analysis The input to the Initial Charging analysis (Traffic Activity Dependent Charging analysis) is the Charging Case (CC) derived from the B-number analysis. The branching conditions in the analysis, can be used to differentiate the charging depending on the type of call (see sub file 15100).
CHIPI:CC=4; CHISI:BC=TSC-0&&-4&-19&&-255... CHISI:BC=TSC-7&&-18... CHISI:BC=TSC-5&-6... CHIPE; => NCC=1 (speech) => NCC=5 (data) => NCC=6 (fax)

Example: Our subscriber initiated a normal speech call which results in a new Charging Case (NCC=1). The TSC parameter is derived from the Telecommunication Service Analysis. Charging Analysis The input here is the New Charging Case (NCC) derived from the Initial Charging analysis or (if the CC not were specified in the Initial Charging analysis) the original Charging Case derived from the B-number analysis.
CHAPI:CC=1; CHABI:BC=CO-0&&-30&ACO-0; CHASI:.....,TC=1; CHABI:BC=CO-31; CHASI:.....,NP; CHAPE;

The Tariff Class (TC) derived points towards a Tariff (T), which is necessary to define if Advice of Charge (AOC) are to be used in the node.
CHCSI:TC=1 => T=1

For more information about charging see document " Charging" doc. no. 8/190 46-FAD 104 08 Uen in the DT Info model.

3.2 Emergency Calls from MS/UE

Mobile Subscriber emergency calls are handled as highest priority calls. They get priority when requesting processor capacity and at outgoing trunk seizure. The emergency call set up is similar to the basic traffic case " Call from MS/UE" with the exception that some functions are invoked/ignored depending on the setting of certain emergency call related exchange parameters. An emergency call is initiated when the emergency code 112 is dialled on a Mobile Station and a request to establish an emergency call is generated. When the message is received in the MSC/VLR, a check for the IMSI number is performed. If no IMSI (TMSI) is received in the set up message, the exchange property EMCNOIMSI controls whether the call is allowed to proceed or not.
MGEPC:PROP=EMCNOIMSI-1; ! Emergency call set up without an IMSI !

For a Mobile Station which is not registered (Location Updating has not been performed) in the MSC/VLR, the call may be allowed to proceed anyway depending on the exchange parameter EMCNOLU.
MGEPC:PROP=EMCNOLU-1;

For a Mobile Station which is registered, procedures for security related functions, such as authentication and ciphering, are invoked. If authentication fails, the call proceeds anyway but without ciphering. Upon completion of the procedures for security related functions, the procedure for equipment identity control is started. Two exchange properties related to this function are checked. IMEICONTROLEMR controls whether IMEI check is to be performed and IMEIROUTGRYEMR controls if grey listed subscriber are to be rerouted to an announcement. If the call is to be rerouted an End of Selection (EOS=2742) is generated, which is used to route the call to an announcement machine.
MGEPC:PROP=IMEICONTROLEMR-1; ! IMEI control at emergency calls MGEPC:PROP=IMEIROUTGRYEMR-0; ! Re-routing at grey listed IMEI ANESI:ES=2742, F=99, M=0-100; ! Announcement, grey listed IMEI ! ! !

After reception of a request from the Mobile Station to set up the call, telecommunication service analysis is performed for the emergency call.
MGTEI:TEC=EMERG, TSC=99, CRT=FR-FR, PSCVL=FRV1&FRV2;

MGTCI:TSC= 99, WSIG=NOIS, TBP= NO, TPI=YES, NOTE="EMERG";

End of Selection analysis is initiated with an emergency call specific End of Selection code, EOS=2290 for " Emergency call with SIM card" and EOS=2577 for "Emergency call without SIM card". The EOS code leads to modification of the (nonexisting) Bnumber in the EOS analysis. Different emergency centers can be reached depending on the Emergency Area (EA) category defined by command MGCEC. The Emergency Area category is specified on a per cell basis.
MGCEC:CELL=KISTA1A, CO= 4, EA=1, RO=1; MGCEC:CELL=KISTA2A, CO= 4, EA=2, RO=1; MGCEC:CELL=KISTA3A, CO= 4, EA=3, RO=1; ANESI:ES=2290, F=30,M=0-90000; !Emergency call, with SIM card! ANESI:ES=2577, F=30,M=0-90000; !Emergency call, without SIM card !

B-number analysis is restarted which leads to a routing case RC.

ANBSI:B=30-900, L=5, BNT=2, RC=90; ! National Emergency Number !

Routing analysis is performed and an EOS code is derived. The branching is specified on the different Emergency Areas defined.
ANRPI:RC=90; ANRSI:BR=EA-1, P01=1, ES=2601; ANRSI:BR=EA-2, P02=1, ES=2602; ANRSI:BR=EA-3, P03=1, ES=2603; ANRPE;

EOS-analysis is performed and BO (B-number origin) and B-number are returned.

ANESI:ES=2601, F=30, M=0-9112; ! B-number to Emergency Area 1 ! ANESI:ES=2602, F=30, M=0-9113; ! B-number to Emergency Area 2 ! ANESI:ES=2603, F=30, M=0-9114; ! B-number to Emergency Area 3 !

The routing of the emergency call to the emergency center is done with this B-number. This way it is possible to have an EOS code for each Emergency Area. The intention is to use those EOS codes reserved for TCS internal use. However, if these are not enough, it is advisable to use EOS codes from 9999 and downwards. If A-number is requested, it is returned to TCS, if MSIDSN is valid, otherwise not available indication is returned. Another exchange property SSEM2 is checked to see whether network initiated Supplementary Service operations are allowed in parallel to an emergency call. However invocation of barring Supplementary Services as well as operator determined barring are ignored.

MGEPC:PROP=SSEM2-0;

! Supplementary service operations !

After seizure of an outgoing line, the Mobile Station is informed that the set up of the call is processing. At this point an A-interface line for speech transmission towards the BSS is seized. After seizure of the A-interface line, the BSS is requested to assign a traffic channel to the air interface. If the feature Channel Allocation Priority Level (CAPL) is active, exchange property CAPLTCHEMER is checked for the Channel Allocation Priority Level to be used for the emergency call.
MGEPC:PROP=CAPLTCHSCH-0; ! CAPL active ! MGEPC:PROP=CAPLTCHEMER-0; ! CAPL used for Emergency calls !

After receiving an indication from the BSS that the traffic channel assignment has been completed, the call is set up to an emergency center. The Mobile Station is informed when the emergency center is free (alerting). Upon indication about B-answer, the Mobile Station is informed. When the Mobile Station has acknowledged to the indication about B-answer, the emergency call has been established. If the Mobile Subscriber dials the national emergency call number instead of using the emergency code (112), the call will be set up as a normal telephony call. The call is accepted if the destination pointed out by the national emergency number is not barred by the access barring analysis. For more information about emergency calls, see document 177/19046-FAD 104 08 Uen in the DT info model, which covers Enhanced emergency routing.
