5 Control and interrogation of subscription data

23.2783GPPCustomised Applications for Mobile network Enhanced Logic (CAMEL) Phase 4IM CN InterworkingRelease 17Stage 2TS

Support of the procedures described in this clause in CAMEL Phase 4 is a network operator option.

5.1 Architecture

The architecture for the control and the interrogation of subscription data described in the clause 10 in 3GPP TS 23.078 Rel‑99 [4] for the HLR and the gsmSCF also applies for the HSS and the gsmSCF.

5.2 Procedures for CAMEL

5.2.1 Any Time Subscription Interrogation

The following process in the HLR described in 3GPP TS 23.078 Rel‑99 [4] applies for the handling of Any Time Interrogation for Subscription Information Retrieval in the HSS:

– CAMEL_ATSI_HLR.

5.2.2 Any Time Modification

The following process in the HLR described in 3GPP TS 23.078 Rel‑99 [4] applies for the handling of Any Time Modification in the HSS:

– CAMEL_ATM_HLR.

5.2.3 Notify Subscriber Data Change

The description of the procedure in 3GPP TS 23.078 Rel‑99 [4] applies for the handling of Notify Subscriber Data Change in the HSS.

5.3 Description of information flows

This clause contains the detailed description of the information flows used by CAMEL for control and interrogation of subscription data.

Each Information Element (IE) is marked as Mandatory (M), Conditional (C), Specific conditions (S), mutually Exclusive (E) or Optional (O).

An ‘M’ IE shall always be included. A ‘C’ IE shall be included if the sending entity has the necessary information to populate the IE. The conditions for the inclusion of an ‘S’ IE are shown in the ‘Description’ column of the definition table. An ‘O’ IE may be included or omitted as required by the service logic. This categorization is a functional classification, i.e. it defines the requirements for the stage 2 information. It is not a stage 3 classification to be used for the ASN.1 syntax of the protocol.

The following principles apply for the handling of the IEs by the receiving entity:

– The gsmSCF may silently discard any IE which it does not functionally support.

– The HSS shall return an error if it does not functionally support an IE which it receives.

Details of errors and exceptions to these rules are specified in 3GPP TS 29.002 [9].

5.3.1 gsmSCF to HSS information flows

5.3.1.1 Any Time Modification Request

5.3.1.1.1 Description

This IF is used to modify information in the HSS at any time. The IF from the gsmSCF to the HLR is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 Rel‑99 [4]. The IF is also applied to the interface between the gsmSCF to the HSS.

5.3.1.3 Notify Subscriber Data Change response

5.3.1.3.1 Description

This IF is used by the gsmSCF to respond to the HSS of the change of subscriber data notify. The IF from the gsmSCF to the HLR is specified in 3GPP TS 23.078 Rel‑99 [4]. The IF is also applied to the interface between the gsmSCF to the HSS.

5.3.2 HSS to gsmSCF information flows
