7 Commercial Role Model for SoLSA

3GPP42.043Release 17Service descriptionStage 1Support of Localised Service Area (SoLSA)TS

SoLSA shall support LSAs which, do not belong to the HPLMN. To enable this the following commercial role model shall be used:

Figure 6: SoLSA commercial role model

The actors of the SoLSA role model are defined below:

– Home operator: The Home operator of a SoLSA subscriber is the owner of the SIM for this subscriber. As such, he is responsible for transferring the necessary SoLSA information to the subscriber SIM. He also holds the SoLSA subscriber information (e.g. in the HLR, CAMEL server, private network node). The Home operator has a commercial agreement with one or several SoLSA operators. A Home operator can be commercially the same entity as a SoLSA operator.

– SoLSA operator: An operator is acting as a SoLSA operator for one SoLSA subscriber if he owns at least one Localised Service Area (LSA) for that subscriber. As such, when the user is attached to the SoLSA operator the SoLSA operator will provide the service for the SoLSA. One SoLSA operator can own a multiplicity of LSAs for a given SoLSA subscriber. A SoLSA operator has a commercial agreement with one or a multiplicity of Home operators (but maximum one per subscriber). A SoLSA operator can be commercially the same entity as the Home operator.

– SoLSA subscriber: A SoLSA subscriber is a subscriber who has subscribed to one Home operator and at least one SoLSA operator (or said differently, who has an authorisation to receive services from at least one LSA). A SoLSA subscriber can have a subscription with a multiplicity of SoLSA operators. A subscriber has always a Home operator, but for example if he is allowed to have services only in LSAs, his Home operator and his SoLSA operator can be commercially the same entity.
