0.2 Definitions

CUG terminology defined in 3GPP TS 22. 085 [2] is applicable to the present document. In addition, the following definitions apply.

CUG Authorisation Functions: Checks performed by the network to ensure that the integrity of a CUG related call is guarantied. CUG calls are rejected if they do not meet the criteria of these checks.

CUG call: CUG call, in signalling terms, is a call where CUG information is passed from the originating switching entity to the destination entity.

CUG Index: Code used to select a CUG for an outgoing call, or to indicate an incoming CUG call. Indices are passed between the user and the network and have significance only within the context of a users subscription.

CUG Interlock Code: Code which uniquely identifies a CUG within a network. The Interlock code is passed from the point of origin to the destination in a CUG call to identify the CUG which has been invoked.

CUG Related Call Barring: CUG related call barring is call barring applied to a CUG subscriber by the home network when roaming in a non-CUG network. The user is unable to remove CUG related call barring.

Explicit CUG Invocation: Explicit CUG invocation is where a calling user attempts to invoke a CUG by passing CUG information to the network in a call request.

Implicit CUG Invocation: Implicit CUG invocation is where the user invokes some default characteristic of a CUG without providing any CUG information in the call request.

Normal Call: Normal call in the context of this CUG TS is a call established from a CUG subscriber where no CUG information is passed from the originating switching entity to the destination entity.

Outgoing Access Indicator: Indication passed from the point of origin to the destination in a CUG call to indicate that the calling user has subscribed to the Outgoing Access inter-CUG accessibility subscription option.
