4.1 General

PNM applications consist of the PN redirection service and the PN access control , both applying only to the terminating service, as described in 3GPP TS 22.259 [2] and 3GPP TS 23.259 [15]. The PN redirection is a PNM application that enables redirecting a session addressed to any of the UEs belonging to the PN to a certain UE or a certain PNE other than a PN UE of their PN, i.e., the default UE or default PNE other than a PN UE for terminating services. The PN access control is a PNM application that enables users to exercise PN access control to restrict accesses to certain UEs or certain PNEs other than PN UEs of their PN. The PN may consist of UEs which are only privately accessed, that is each UE may be accessed only by other UEs of the PN. The PN-User may additionally modify the access levels of each UE of the PN to be public or private. In this regard the PN behaves similar to a CUG as specified in 3GPP TS 22.085 [19] and 3GPP TS 23.085 [20], with Outgoing Access and whether Incoming Access is allowed for the PN UE is dependent on the PN access control list for that PN UE.

In order to make the above happen, the following procedures are provided within this document:

– procedures for PN-registration are specified in clause 6;

– procedures for PN-configuration are specified in clause 7;

– procedures for PN-query are specified in clause 8;

– procedures for session redirection are specified in clause 9; and

– procedures for restricting access to certain UEs are specified in clause 10.

4.2 Network capabilities

In order to support the PNM services the following network capabilities are assumed:

1) provision by the home network operator of PNM specific AS on the IM CN subsystem, as specified in 3GPP TS 24.229 [3];

2) support of CAMEL phase-3 and USSD as specified in 3GPP TS 29.078 [13] and 3GPP TS 24.090 [14].
