A.1 General

23.1803GPPMission critical services support in the Isolated Operation for Public Safety (IOPS) mode of operationRelease 17TS

This Annex provides information about the static configuration data needed for the support of MC services in the IOPS mode of operation.

The configuration data belong to one of the following categories:

– MC service UE configuration data (see subclause A.2);

– MC service user profile configuration data (see subclause A.3);

– MC service group configuration data (see subclause A.4); and

– MC service configuration data (see subclause A.5).

The configuration data in each configuration category corresponds to a single instance of the category type i.e. the MC service UE, MC service group, MC service user and MC service configuration data refers to the information that will be stored against each MC service UE, MC service group, MC service user and MC service.

NOTE: The configuration data described in this Annex together with corresponding configuration data provided in 3GPP TS 23.280 [3], 3GPP TS 23.379 [5] and 3GPP TS 23.282 [6] represent the complete set of data for each configuration data category element.

The columns in the tables have the following meanings:

– Reference: the reference of the corresponding requirement in 3GPP TS 22.346 [9] and 3GPP TS 22.280 [11] or the corresponding clause from either the present document or the referenced document.

– Parameter description: A short definition of the semantics of the corresponding item of data, including denotation of the level of the parameter in the configuration hierarchy.

– When it is not clear to which functional entities the parameter is configured, then one or more columns indicating this are provided where the following nomenclature is used:

– "Y" to denote "Yes" i.e. the parameter denoted for the row needs to be configured to the functional entity denoted for the column.

– "N" to denote "No" i.e. the parameter denoted for the row does not need to be configured to the functional entity denoted for the column.

Parameters within a set of configuration data have a level within a hierarchy that pertains only to that configuration data. The level of a parameter within the hierarchy of the configuration data is denoted by use of the character ">" in the parameter description field within each table, one per level. Parameters that are at the top‑most level within the hierarchy have no ">" character. Parameters that have one or more ">" characters are child parameters of the first parameter above them that has one less ">" character. Parent parameters are parameters that have one or more child parameters. Parent parameters act solely as a "grouping" of their child parameters and therefore do not contain an actual value themselves i.e. they are just containers for their child parameters.

Each parameter that can be configured online shall only be configured through one online reference point. Each parameter that can be configured offline shall only be configured through one offline reference point. The most recent configuration data made available to the MC service UE shall always overwrite previous configuration data, irrespective of whether the configuration data was provided via the online or offline mechanism.
