25.3 Authentication processes

25.3.1 Process Obtain_Authentication_Sets_GLR

This process is initiated by the GLR to fetch authentication vectors from a subscriber’s HLR to the VLR. The process is described in figure 25.3/1.

Figure 25.3.1/2 (sheet 2 of 2): Process Obtain_Authentication_Sets_GLR

25.3.2 Process Authentication_Failure_Report_GLR

This process is initiated by the GLR to notify a subscriber’s HLR about the occurrence of an authentication failure in the VLR or SGSN. The process is described in figure 25.3/2.

25.4 Short Message Alert procedures

25.4.1 Subscriber_Present_GLR_AS_VLR process

The Subscriber_Present_GLR_AS_VLR process is invoked by the GLR, when GLR receives Update Location from VLR and the MNRF flag is set. The general description of the short message alert procedures is in the subclause 23.3.

The GLR sends the MAP_READY_FOR_SM request to the HLR and waits for the HLR to answer. When receiving the answer, the GLR will act as follows:

– the MNRF flag is cleared if the procedure is successful;

– the MNRF flag is not cleared if the procedure is not successful.

The Subscriber_Present_GLR_AS_VLR process is shown in the figure 25.4/1.

25.4.2 The Mobile Subscriber is present

When GLR receives Update GPRS Location from SGSN, while the MS not reachable for GPRS (MNRG) flag is set, the GLR will send the MAP_READY_FOR_SM request towards the HLR. The Alert Reason is set to indicate that the mobile subscriber is present for GPRS.

When receiving the answer, the GLR will act as follows:

– MNRG is cleared if the procedure is successful.

– MNRG is not cleared if the procedure is not successful.

The Subscriber_Present_GLR_AS_SGSN process is shown in the figure 25.4/2.
