29.2403GPP3GPP Generic User Profile (GUP)NetworkRelease 17Stage 3TS

Tools: ARFCN - Frequency Conversion for 5G NR/LTE/UMTS/GSM

The present document defines the stage 3 network protocol description to the 3GPP Generic User Profile (GUP), which includes the elements necessary to realise the stage 2 requirements in 3GPP TS 23.240 [1].

The fact of having several domains within the 3GPP mobile system (e.g. Circuit-Switched, Packet-Switched, IP Multimedia Subsystem) and access technologies (e.g. GERAN, UTRAN and WLAN) introduces a wide distribution of data associated with the user. Further, the new functions both in terminals and networks mean that the data related to users, services and user equipment will be increased greatly. This causes difficulties for users, subscribers, network operators and value added service providers to create, access and manage the user-related data located in different entities.

The objective of specifying the 3GPP Generic User Profile is to provide a conceptual description to enable harmonised usage of the user-related information located in different entities. Technically the 3GPP Generic User Profile provides an architecture, data description and interface with mechanisms to handle the data.
