| 2 | GPRS Subscriber Update Protocol |
| 3 | |
| 4 | 1. General |
| 5 | |
| 6 | This document describes the remote protocol that is used by the SGSN to update |
| 7 | and manage the local subscriber list. The protocol and the messages are |
| 8 | designed after the corresponding MAP messages (see GSM 09.02) with the |
| 9 | following differences: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | - The encoding uses TLV structures instead of ASN.1 encodings |
| 12 | - Segmentation is not used |
| 13 | |
| 14 | See the specification of the Gr interface (GSM 03.60). |
| 15 | |
| 16 | 2. Connection |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The protocol expects that a reliable, ordered, packet boundaries preserving |
| 19 | connection is used (e.g. IPA over TCP). The remote peer is either a service |
| 20 | that understands the protocol natively or a wrapper service that maps the |
| 21 | messages to/from real MAP messages that can be used to directly communicate |
| 22 | with an HLR. |

| Jacob Erlbeck | 46684dc | 2014-12-15 10:16:02 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 24 | 2.1. Using IPA |
| 25 | |
| 26 | By default, the following identifiers should be used: |
| 27 | - IPA protocol: 0xee (OSMO) |
| 28 | - IPA OSMO protocol extension: 0x05 |

| 31 | |
| 32 | 2.1. Authentication management |
| 33 | |
| 34 | The SGSN sends a SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO_REQ message containing the MS's IMSI |
| 35 | to the peer. On errors, especially if authentication info is not availabe for |
| 36 | that IMSI, the peer returns a SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO_ERR message. Otherwise |
| 37 | the peer returns a SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO_RES message. If this message |
| 38 | contains at least one authentication tuple, the SGSN replaces all tuples that |
| 39 | are assigned to the subscriber. If the message doesn't contain any tuple the |
| 40 | SGSN may reject the Attach Request. (see GSM 09.02, 25.5.6) |
| 41 | |
| 42 | 2.2. Location Updating |
| 43 | |
| 44 | The SGSN sends a UPDATE_LOCATION_REQ to the peer. If the request is denied by |
| 45 | the network, the peer returns an UPDATE_LOCATION_ERR message to the SGSN. |
| 46 | Otherwise the peer returns an UPDATE_LOCATION_RES message containing all |
| 47 | information fields that shall be inserted into the subscriber record. If |
| 48 | the 'PDP info complete' information element is set in the message, the SGSN |
| 49 | clears existing PDP information fields in the subscriber record first. |
| 50 | (see GSM 09.02, 19.1.1.8) |
| 51 | |

| 53 | |
| 54 | 3. Message Format |
| 55 | |
| 56 | 3.1. General |
| 57 | |
| 58 | Every message is based on the following message format |

| 61 | Message type 4.2.1 M V 1 |
| 62 | 01 IMSI 4.2.9 M TLV 2-10 |
| 63 | |
| 64 | If a numeric range is indicated in the 'presence' column, multiple information |
| 65 | elements with the same tag may be used in sequence. The information elements |
| 66 | shall be sent in the given order. Nevertheless after the generic part the |
| 67 | receiver shall be able to received them in any order. Unknown IE shall be |
| 68 | ignored. |
