networ# internal sinallin is also available when &"0 is not used or not activated by the networ#.
4MT" described already 0/s containin G30/' and 4T0/' cells. which also reduces update sinallin between 43
and networ#. The combination of G30/' and 4T0/' into the same 0/s implies however common scalin.

G30/' or 4T0/' only access control. same physical node for G30/' and 4T0/'). /s an advantae it does not
reDuire special networ# interface functionality for the purpose of update sinallin reduction.
&"0 enables sinallin reduction with separate "G"' and MM3 and also with independent T/s and 0/s. Thereby the
interdependency is drastically minimi!ed compared with the G30/'=4T0/' 0/s. This comes however with &"0
specific node and interface functionality. "G"' and MM3 may be implemented toether. which reduces some interface
functions but results also in some dependencies.
&"0 support is mandatory for 3:4T0/' 43s that support G30/' and=or 4T0/' and optional for the networ#. &"0
reDuires special functionality in both the 43 and the networ# (i.e. in the "G"'. MM3 and "ervin G;) to activate &"0
for a 43. 8or this activation. the MM3="G"' detects whether ":G; supports &"0 based on the confiuration and
activates &"0 only if the ":G; supports the &"0. The networ# can decide for &"0 activation individually for each 43.
Gn=Gp "G"'s do not support &"0 functionality. 'o specific <"" functionality is reDuired to support &"0.
'OT3. / 0elease @ <"" needs additional functionality to support the $dual reistration$ of MM3 and "G"'.
;ithout such an uprade. at least P" domain MT 6ocation "ervices and MT "hort Messaes are liable to
fail.
&t is inherent functionality of the MM procedures to enable &"0 activation only when the 43 is able to reister via 3:
4T0/' and via G30/'=4T0/'. 8or e(ample. when there is no 3:4T0/' coverae there will be also no &"0
activation. Once &"0 is activated it remains active until one of the criteria for deactivation in the 43 occurs. or until
"G"' or MM3 indicate durin an update procedure no more the activated &"0. i.e. the &"0 status of the 43 has to be
refreshed with every update.
;hen &"0 is activated this means the 43 is reistered with both MM3 and "G"'. 1oth the "G"' and the MM3 have a
control connection with the "ervin G;. MM3 and "G"' are both reistered at <"". The 43 stores MM parameters
from "G"' (e.. P:TM"& and 0/) and from MM3 (e.. G4T& and T/(s)) and the 43 stores session manaement
(bearer) conte(ts that are common for 3:4T0/' and G30/'=4T0/' accesses. &n idle state the 43 can reselect
between 3:4T0/' and G30/'=4T0/' (within the reistered 0/ and T/s) without any need to perform T/4 or
0/4 procedures with the networ#. "G"' and MM3 store each other$s address when &"0 is activated.
;hen &"0 is activated and downlin# data arrive. the "ervin G; initiates pain processes on both "G"' and MM3.
&n response to pain or for uplin# data transfer the 43 performs normal "ervice 0eDuest procedures on the currently
camped:on 0/T without any precedin update sinallin (there are however e(istin scenarios that may reDuire to
perform a 0/4 procedure prior to the "ervice 0eDuest even with &"0 is activated when G30/'=4T0/' 0/s are used
toether. as specified in clause ?.,3.,.3 of T" *3.+?+ J@K).
The 43 and the networ# run independent periodic update timers for G30/'=4T0/' and for 3:4T0/'. ;hen the
MM3 or "G"' do not receive periodic updates MM3 and "G"' may decide independently for implicit detach. which
removes session manaement (bearer) conte(ts from the 2' node performin the implicit detach and it removes also
the related control connection from the "ervin G;. &mplicit detach by one 2' node (either "G"' or MM3)
deactivates &"0 in the networ#. &t is deactivated in the 43 when the 43 cannot perform periodic updates in time. ;hen
&"0 is activated and a periodic updatin timer e(pires the 43 starts a 9eactivate &"0 timer. ;hen this timer e(pires and

Part of the &"0 functionality is also available when &"0 is not activated because the MM conte(ts are stored in 43.
MM3 and "G"' also when &"0 is not active. This results in some reduced networ# sinallin. which is not available
for Gn=Gp "G"'s. These "G"'s cannot handle MM and session manaement conte(ts separately. Therefore all
conte(ts on Gn=Gp "G"'s are deleted when the 43 chanes to an MM3. The MM3 can #eep their MM3 conte(ts in all
scenarios.
P.2 Usage "3 the T;*
The 43 may have valid MM parameters both from MM3 and from "G"'. The LTemporary &dentity used in 'e(t
updateL (T&') is a parameter of the 43$s MM conte(t. which identifies the 43 identity to be indicated in the ne(t 0/4
0eDuest or T/4 0eDuest messae. The T&' also identifies the status of &"0 activation in the 43.
The T&' can ta#e one of the three values. LP:TM"&L. LG4T&L or L0/T:related TM"&L. The 43 sets the T&' when
receivin an /ttach /ccept. a T/4 /ccept or 0/4 /ccept messae as specified in table -.3.>.?:,.
L&"0 /ctivatedL indicated by the 0/4=T/4 /ccept messae but the 43 not settin the T&' to L0/T:related TM"&L is a
special situation. <ere the 43 has deactivated &"0 due to special situation handlin (see clause G.?). 1y maintainin the
old T&' value the 43 remembers to use the 0/T TM"& indicated by the T&' when updatin with the 2' node of the
other 0/T.
Only if the T&' is set to L0/T:related TM"&L &"0 behaviour is enabled for the 43. i.e. the 43 can chane between all
reistered areas and 0/Ts without any update sinallin and it listens for pain on the 0/T it is camped on. &f the T&'
is set to L0/T:related TM"&L. the 43$s P:TM"& and 0/& as well as its G4T& and T/&(s) remain reistered with the
networ# and valid in the 43.
;hen &"0 is not active the T&' is always set to the temporary &9 belonin to the currently used 0/T. This uarantees
that always the most recent conte(t data are used. which means durin inter:0/T chanes there is always conte(t
transfer from the 2' node servin the last used 0/T. The 43 identities. old G4T& &3 and additional G4T& &3. indicated
in the ne(t T/4 0eDuest messae. and old P:TM"& &3 and additional P:TM"&=0/& &3. indicated in the ne(t 0/4
0eDuest messae depend on the settin of T&' and are specified in table -.3.>.?:*.
The 43 indicates also information elements Ladditional G4T&L or Ladditional P:TM"&L in the /ttach 0eDuest. T/4 or
0/4 0eDuest. These information elements permit the MM3="G"' to find the already e(istin 43 conte(ts in the new
MM3 or "G"'. when the Lold G4T&L or Lold P:TM"&L indicate values that are mapped from other identities.
P.3 ;SR acti5ati"'
The information flow in 8iure G.3:, shows an e(ample of &"0 activation. 8or e(planatory purposes the fiure is
simplified to show the MM parts only.
The process starts with an ordinary /ttach procedure not reDuirin any special functionality for support of &"0. The
/ttach however deletes any e(istin old &"0 state information stored in the 43. ;ith the /ttach reDuest messae. the
43 sets its T&' to LG4T&L. /fter attach with MM3. the 43 may perform any interactions via 3:4T0/' without
chanin the &"0 state. &"0 remains deactivated. One or more bearer conte(ts are activated on MM3. "ervin G; and
P9' G;. which is not shown in the fiure.
The first time the 43 reselects G30/' or 4T0/' it initiates a 0outin /rea 4pdate. This represents an occasion to
activate &"0. The T&' indicates LG4T&L so the 43 indicates a P:TM"& mapped from a G4T& in the 0/4 0eDuest. The
"G"' ets conte(ts from MM3. ;hen the MM3 sends the conte(t to the "G"'. the MM3 includes the &"0 supported
indication only if the involved ":G; supports the &"0. /fter the &"0 activated. both 2' nodes #eep these conte(ts

8iure G.-:, shows a downlin# data transfer to an idle state 43 when &"0 is activated. The "ervin G; receives
downlin# data. 1ecause of activated &"0. the "ervin G; has control connections with both MM3 and "G"' and
sends therefore downlin# data notifications to both nodes. MM3 and "G"' start their pain procedures. which results
in pain of the 43 in the reistered 0/ and T/(s) in parallel.
&n the e(ample illustrated in 8iure G.-:, it is assumed that the 43 camps on 3:4T0/'. "o the 43 responds to pain

9eactivation of &"0 for the 43 does not reDuire any specific functionality. The status of &"0 activation is refreshed in

There are no &"0 specific procedures to handle such situations to avoid additional comple(ity and error cases. /ll
special situations that cause conte(t in the 43. MM3 and "G"' to become asynchronous are handled by &"0

always an &ntra 9omain '/" 'ode "elector (&9''") derived from the &9 sinalled as P:TM"& (also when mapped

T/4 0eDuest messae (also when derived from P:TM"&). This handlin is performed by the 43 independent from the
networ# confiuration. &t is not visible to the 43 whether MM3 and "G"' are combined.
Given the &P:based architecture of 3P" and the &P:based applications such establishment and deactivation of the 3P"
bearer or P9P conte(t can happen freDuently before the 43 chanes the 0/T e.. a 43 as#in for delivery of an "M"
(over &P) or startin a Bo&P over &M". an entirely new 3P" bearer or P9P conte(t may be established for that purpose.
Then. after the application=service is finished. the newly established 3P" bearer or P9P conte(t ets deactivated. &n
such particular situation the deactivation of the &"0 at the 43 and hence performin a 0/4 or T/4 update when the
43 chanes the 0/T is not needed. Preventin the 43 from deactivatin the &"0 in this case ensures an efficient usae
of the 43$s battery power and reduces the unnecessary sinallin load that is seen as the #ey objective to be achieved by
introducin the &"0 feature. Thus. 43 only locally deactivates &"0 when bearer e(isted at the time of &"0 is activated.
or when 43 chanes 0/T with bearers which are created after &"0 is activated.
