10.5.4 Call control information elements

24.0083GPPCore network protocolsMobile radio interface Layer 3 specificationRelease 18Stage 3TS

10.5.4.1 Extensions of codesets

There is a certain number of possible information element identifier values using the formatting rules described in subclause 10.5: 128 from the type 3 & 4 information element format and at least 8 from the type 1 & 2 information element format.

One value in the type 1 format is specified for shift operations described below. One other value in both the type 3 & 4 and type 1 format is reserved. This leaves 133 information element identifier values available for assignment.

It is possible to expand this structure to eight codesets of 133 information element identifier values each. One common value in the type 1 format is employed in each codeset to facilitate shifting from one codeset to another. The contents of this shift information element identifies the codeset to be used for the next information element or elements. The codeset in use at any given time is referred to as the "active codeset". By convention, codeset 0 is the initially active codeset.

Two codeset shifting procedures are supported: locking shift and non-locking shift.

Codeset 5 is reserved for information elements reserved for national use.

Codeset 6 is reserved for information elements specific to the local network (either public or private).

Codeset 7 is reserved for user-specific information elements.

The coding rules specified in subclause 10.5 shall apply for information elements belonging to any active codeset.

The mobile station and the network shall not apply the "comprehension required" scheme (see 3GPP TS 24.007 [20]) to information elements belonging to codesets different from codeset 0.

IEIs with bits 5, 6, 7 and 8 all set to zero should not be allocated for new optional information elements in codesets different from codeset 0, because there are legacy mobile stations that apply the "comprehension required" scheme also to these information elements, e.g. if such a mobile station receives a SETUP message containing an unknown information element from codeset 5 with an IEI with bits 5, 6, 7 and 8 all set to zero, then the mobile station will release the call.

Transitions from one active codeset to another (i.e. by means of the locking shift procedure) may only be made to a codeset with a higher numerical value than the codeset being left.

An information element belonging to codeset 5, 6 or 7 may appear together with information elements belonging to codeset 0, by using the non-locking shift procedure (see subclause 10.5.4.3).

A user or network equipment shall have the capability to recognize a shift information element and to determine the length of the following information element, although the equipment need not be able to interpret and act on the content of the information element. This enables the equipment to determine the start of the subsequent information element.

10.5.4.2 Locking shift procedure

The locking shift procedure employs an information element to indicate the new active codeset. The specified codeset remains active until another locking shift information element is encountered which specifies the use of another codeset. For example, codeset 0 is active at the start of message content analysis. If a locking shift to codeset 5 is encountered, the next information elements will be interpreted according to the information element identifiers assigned in codeset 5, until another shift information element is encountered. This procedure is used only to shift to a higher order codeset than the one being left.

The locking shift is valid only within that message which contains the locking shift information element. At the start of every message content analysis, the active codeset is codeset 0.

The locking shift information element uses the type 1 information element format and coding shown in figure 10.5.85/3GPP TS 24.008 and table 10.5.98/3GPP TS 24.008.

10.5.4.3 Non-locking shift procedure

The non-locking shift procedure provides a temporary shift to the specified lower or higher codeset. The non-locking shift procedure uses a type 1 information element to indicate the codeset to be used to interpret the next information element. After the interpretation of the next information element, the active codeset is again used for interpreting any following information elements. For example, codeset 0 is active at the beginning of message content analysis. If a non-locking shift to codeset 6 is encountered, only the next information element is interpreted according to the information element identifiers assigned in codeset 6. After this information element is interpreted, codeset 0 will again be used to interpret the following information elements. A non-locking shift information element indicating the current codeset shall not be regarded as an error.

A locking shift information element shall not follow directly a non-locking shift information element. If this combination is received, it shall be interpreted as though a locking shift information element had been received.

The non-locking shift information element uses the type 1 information format and coding shown in figure 10.5.86/3GPP TS 24.008 and table 10.5.99/3GPP TS 24.008.

Figure 10.5.88/3GPP TS 24.008 Bearer capability information element

NOTE 1: The coding of the octets of the bearer capability information element is not conforming to ITU Recommendation Q.931 [53].

An MS shall encode the Bearer Capability infomation element according to A/Gb mode call control requirements also if it is requesting for a service in Iu mode, with the following exceptions:

1. A mobile station not supporting A/Gb mode and GERAN Iu mode for the requested bearer service shall set the following parameters to the value "0":
– Maximum number of traffic channels (octet 6e, bits 1-3)
– Acceptable Channel coding(s) (octet 6e, bits 4, 5 and 7)

2. Furthermore, a mobile station not supporting A/Gb mode and GERAN Iu mode for the requested bearer service shall also set the following parameters to the value "0", if the respective octets have to be included in the bearer capability information element according to subclause 10.5.4.5.1 and 3GPP TS 27.001 [36]:
– UIMI, User initiated modification indication (octet 6f, bits 5-7)
– Acceptable Channel Codings extended (octet 6g, bits 5-7)

For UTRAN Iu mode the following parameters are irrelevant for specifying the radio access bearer, because multiple traffic channels (multislot) are not deployed, see 3GPP TS 23.034 [104]. However, the parameters if received, shall be stored in the MSC, and used for handover to A/Gb or GERAN Iu mode:
– Maximum number of traffic channels (octet 6e, bits 1-3)
– Acceptable Channel coding(s) (octet 6e, bits 4, 5 and 7)
– UIMI, User initiated modification indication (octet 6f, bits 5-7)
– Acceptable Channel Codings extended (octet 6g, bits 5-7)

NOTE 2: The following parameters are relevant in UTRAN Iu mode for non transparent data calls for deciding which RLP version to negotiate in order to avoid renegotiation of RLP version in case of inter-system handover from UTRAN Iu mode to A/Gb or GERAN Iu mode, see 3GPP TS 24.022 [141]:
– Maximum number of traffic channels (octet 6e, bits 1-3)
– Wanted air interface user rate (octet 6f, bits 1- 4)
– UIMI, User initiated modification indication (octet 6f, bits 5-7).

NOTE 1: Diagnostics for supplementary services are handled as follows:

octet 5, bit 8:

This is an extension bit as defined in the preliminary part of subclause 10.5. In this version of this protocol, this bit shall be set to 1. If it is set to zero, the contents of the following octets shall be ignored.

octet 5, bit 7-1:

0000001 – Outgoing calls barred within CUG

0000010 – No CUG selected

0000011 – Unknown CUG index

0000100 – CUG index incompatible with requested basic service

0000101 – CUG call failure, unspecified

0000110 – CLIR not subscribed

0000111 – CCBS possible

0001000 – CCBS not possible

All other values shall be ignored.

NOTE 2: The incompatible parameter is composed of the incompatible information element identifier.

NOTE 3: The format of the diagnostic field for cause numbers 57, 58 and 65 is as shown in figure 10.5.88/3GPP TS 24.008 and tables 10.5.102/3GPP TS 24.008 to 10.5.115/3GPP TS 24.008.

NOTE 4: The user supplied diagnostics field is encoded according to the user specification, subject to the maximum length of the cause information element. The coding of user supplied diagnostics should be made in such a way that it does not conflict with the coding described in note 9 below.

NOTE 5: The new destination is formatted as the called party BCD number information element, including information element identifier.

NOTE 6: Locking and non-locking shift procedures described in subclause 10.5.4.2 and clause 3 are applied. In principle, information element identifiers are ordered in the same order as the information elements in the received message.

NOTE 7: When only the locking shift information element is included and no information element identifier follows, it means that the codeset in the locking shift itself is not implemented.

NOTE 8: The timer number is coded in IA5 characters, e.g., T308 is coded as "3" "0" "8". The following coding is used in each octet:

bit 8: spare "0"

bits 7-1: IA5 character

Octet 5 carries "3", octet 5a carries "0", etc.

NOTE 9: The following coding is used for octet 5:

bit 8 : 1

bits 7-3: 00000

bits 2-1: condition as follows:

00 – unknown

01 – permanent

10 – transient
