AA.2.1.2 Nhss_ImsUEContextManagement (ImsUECM) service
AA.2.1.2.1 Nhss_ImsUECM_Registration service operation
Service operation name: Nhss_ImsUECM_Registration
Description: This service operation registers the serving S-CSCF assigned to an IMS User. If authentication is not to be performed, this operation also sets the registration state. The S-CSCF is implicitly subscribed to be notified when it is deregistered in HSS. This notification is done by means of Nhss_ImsUECM_DeregistrationNotification operation.
Inputs, Required: Public Identity, S-CSCF name, Registration Type (e.g. Initial Registration, Unregistered).
Inputs, Optional: Private Identity.
Outputs, Required: Result indication.
Outputs, Optional: List of registered Private Identities sharing the same Public Identity which is being registered, S-CSCF Restoration indication.
AA.2.1.2.2 Nhss_ImsUECM_Deregistration service operation
Service operation name: Nhss_ImsUECM_Deregistration
Description: This service operation deregisters the S-CSCF allocated to a public identity.
Inputs, Required: S-CSCF name, Deregistration Type.
Inputs, Optional: User Identity (Private Identity and/or Public Identity), P-CSCF Restoration indication, Session Priority.
Outputs, Required: Result indication.
Outputs, Optional: None.
AA.2.1.2.3 Nhss_ImsUECM_DeregistrationNotification service operation
Service operation name: Nhss_ImsUECM_DeregistrationNotification
Description: This service operation enables HSS to inform a S-CSCF which has previously registered in HSS of a Public Identity deregistration. This notification corresponds to an implicit subscription.
Inputs, Required: Private Identity, Reason for Deregistration.
Inputs, Optional: Public Identity, Associated Private Identities.
Outputs, Required: Result indication.
Outputs, Optional: Associated Private Identities, Identities with Emergency Registration.
AA.2.1.2.4 Nhss_ImsUECM_Authorize service operation
Service operation name: Nhss_ImsUECM_Authorize
Description: This service operation is used by the I-CSCF to request authorization from HSS for:
– The registration of a Public Identity by a UE in a P‑CSCF network identifier according to the IMS User’s subscription and operator limitations/restrictions.
– The reception of a terminating request based on the user state and IMS user’s subscription (e.g. IMS User’s barring status).
If the IMS User is authorized, the HSS may provide the address of the S-CSCF assigned to the Public Identity if any.
Additionally, this service operation is used to authorize in HSS a S-CSCF reselection (e.g. after I-CSCF detection if a S-CSCF failure).
Inputs, Required: Public Identity, Authorization Type.
Inputs, Optional: Private User Identity, P‑CSCF network identifier.
Outputs, Required: Result indication.
Outputs, Optional: S-CSCF name.

AA.2.1.2.7 Nhss_ImsUECM_RestorationInfoUpdate service operation
Service operation name: Nhss_ImsUECM_RestorationInfoUpdate
Description: This service operation is used between the S-CSCF and the HSS to update information in HSS to support the S-CSCF Restoration procedures.
Inputs, Required: Private Identity, Public Identity, Restoration data.
Inputs, Optional: None.
Outputs, Required: Result indication.
Outputs, Optional: None.
AA.2.1.3 Nhss_ImsSubscriberDataManagement (ImsSDM) service
AA.2.1.3.1 General
IMS Subscriber data types used in the Nhss_ImsSDM Service are defined in Table AA.2.1.3.1-1 below.
NOTE: IMS Subscriber data is terminology only used in Annex AA. It includes IMS subscription data and other data related to the subscriber, e.g. network functionality entity address, location information or T-ADS information.
Table AA.2.1.3.1-1: IMS Subscriber data types
|
IMS Subscriber data |
Description |
|
Service Profile Data |
This may include e.g. service parameters, the S-CSCF allocated to a public identity or the list of S-CSCFs and their capabilities, Application Server address, triggers, information on subscribed media, profile parameters (e.g. barring indicator, etc.) as defined in TS 29.228 [30]. Service Profile Data is consumed by CSCF. |
|
Repository Data |
Data that is understood syntactically but not semantically by the HSS (unstructured Data). It is data that an AS may store in the HSS to support its service logic. One example is data that an AS stores in the HSS, using it as a repository. Service Indication identifies the set of service related transparent data associated to a Public Identity. Repository Data is consumed by IMS-AS. |
|
Non-Transparent Data |
Data that is understood both syntactically and semantically by the HSS e.g. location information. Non-Transparent Data is structured using data references as defined in TS 29.328 [79]. Non-Transparent Data is consumed by IMS-AS. |
At least a mandatory key is required for each IMS Subscriber Data Type to identify the corresponding data as defined in Table AA.2.1.3.1-2 below.
