receive routing area updates ''). Since the routing frame is unchanged, it is not necessary to notify other network elements such as the GGSN or HLR.

Inter-SGSN routing area update: the new routing area is managed by another SGSN. The new SGSN notices that the mobile station has moved into its area and requests the old SGSN to send the subscriber's packet data protocol (PDP) frame. The new SGSN then informs the relevant GGSNs about the

the subscriber's new routing frame. In addition, the HLR and MSC/VLR (if any) will also be informed about the subscriber's new SGSN.

1. The mobile station sends a routing area update request to the SGSN. The SGSN routing area update request contains information about the old routing area and the old P-TMSI number. The base station subsystem adds to the routing area update request the identification of the cell from which the BSS received the message and then forwards the routing area update request to the SGSN.

2. Security functions such as authentication and encryption can be performed.

3. The SGSN confirms the presence of the mobile station in the new routing area. If, due to regional subscriber restrictions, the mobile station is not allowed to join the network in the new routing area or there is a subscriber check error, the SGSN will reject the area update.


routing area for the mobile station. If all checks are successful, the SGSN updates the mobile station's mobility management frame. A new P-TMSI is assigned. A Routing Area Update message is sent back to the mobile station. The P-TMSI is included in the acceptance message.

4. After the P-TMSI number is assigned at the mobile station, the mobile station will confirm the new P-TMSI number with a routing area update completion message.

2.6.2.2. Updating routing areas between SGSNs

Figure 2 – 14 illustrates the routing area update procedure when a mobile station moves from one SGSN area to another SGSN area.

1. The mobile station sends a routing area update request to the new SGSN. The routing area update request contains information about the old routing area and the old P-TMSI number. The BSS adds to the routing area update request the identification of the cell from which the BSS received the message and then forwards the routing area update request to the SGSN.

2. The new SGSN sends an SGSN frame request to the old SGSN to retrieve the mobile management frames and packet data protocol frames for the mobile station. The old SGSN will check the old P-TMSI number and will respond with an error message if the P-TMSI number does not match the P-TMSI number stored in the old SGSN. At that time, the SGSN starts to perform the security functions. If the mobile station authentication function confirms the correctness of the mobile station. The new SGSN will send an SGSN frame request message to the old SGSN. If the P-TMSI number is correct or the SGSN has authenticated the mobile station, the old SGSN will reply to the new SGSN with an SGSN frame reply message. If the mobile station is not recognized by the old SGSN, the old SGSN will send a corresponding error message. The old SGSN stores the address of the new SGSN to allow the SGSN to forward data packets to the new SGSN. The old SGSN starts the counter and stops transmitting when the session ends on the downlink.

3. Security functions such as authentication and encryption are performed

4. The new SGSN sends an SGSN frame acknowledgement message to the old SGSN. The message will inform the old SGSN that the new SGSN is ready to receive data packets of the initiated packet data protocol frames. The old SGSN will mark in its frame that the MSC/VLR and the information in the GGSNs and HLRs are correct. The old SGSN will contact the MSC/VLRs, GGSNs and HLRs for updates when the mobile station initiates the routing area update procedure back to the old SGSN first.


when the current routing area update procedure is completed. If the security functions cannot determine the correctness of the mobile station, the routing area update procedure is rejected and the new SGSN sends a reject message to the old SGSN. The old SGSN proceeds as if the SGSN frame request message was never received.

5. The old SGSN will forward the data packets in the buffer to the new SGSN. The data packets will be received from the GGSN for forwarding to the new SGSN until the counter in step 2 stops counting. The packet data has been sent to the mobile station in acknowledgement mode as well as with the LLC frame number, which is sent at the end of the packet data frame. After


Once the counter in step 2 has stopped counting, no new packet data is sent to the new SGSN.

6. The new SGSN sends a Packet Data Protocol Frame Update Request message to the relevant GGSNs. The GGSNs will be updated with the Packet Data Protocol Frame fields and respond with a Packet Data Protocol Frame Update Request Reply message.

7. The new SGSN informs the HLR about the change of SGSN by sending a location update message to the HLR.

8. The HLR sends a Location Clear message to the old SGSN. If the counter in step 2 is not present, the old SGSN deletes the Mobility Management Frames and Packet Data Protocol Frames. If the counter in step 2 is present, the frames are deleted when the counter stops counting. The old SGSN then terminates the packet data transmission. This also allows the old SGSN to retain the Mobility Management Frames and Packet Data Protocol Frames in case the mobile station starts another SGSN Routing Area Update procedure before the current Routing Area Update procedure is completed. The old SGSN acknowledges this with a Location Clear Confirmation message.

9. The HLR sends the subscriber data to the new SGSN. The new SGSN checks the presence of the mobile station in the new routing area. If, due to area-based subscriber restrictions, the mobile station is not allowed to enter the routing area, the SGSN rejects the routing area update request with the cause of the error and sends a subscriber data import confirmation message to the HLR. If all checks are successful, the SGSN creates a mobility management frame for the mobile station and sends a subscriber data import confirmation message to the HLR.

10. The HLR confirms the location update by sending an update acknowledgement message.

locate to new SGSN.

11. The new SGSN will check the presence of the mobile station in the new routing area. If due to roaming subscriber restrictions, the mobile station is not allowed to join the network in the routing area or the subscriber check fails, the SGSN will send a routing area update reject message along with the corresponding error reason. If all checks are successful, the new SGSN will generate mobility management frames and packet data protocol frames to the mobile station. The new SGSN replies to the mobile station with a routing area update accept message.


12. The mobile station acknowledges the receipt of the new P-TMSI together with the Routing Area Update Complete message. If the Routing Area Update Complete message acknowledges the receipt of packet data forwarded from the old SGSN, the packet data shall be rejected by the new SGSN.

In summary, there are two levels of location management of GPRS: Narrow roaming management performed by the SGSN allows storing information about the current routing area or current cell of the mobile station and wide roaming management allows storing information about the current SGSN of the mobile station in the HLR, VLR, GGSN.

2.6.3. Network connection procedure (Attach)

When a GPRS subscriber wants to send or receive data, it performs the network access procedure. The GPRS network access operation is to inform the network about the presence of the MS on the network. During the network access procedure (it can be GPRS access, IMSI access or a combination of GPRS/IMSI). After the MS performs the network access operation, the MS switches to the ready state and the mobile management frame is established in the MS and SGSN. After the MS has been connected to the network, it can also receive SMS via GPRS and make calls via GSN. The mobile station can initiate a packet data protocol frame (PDP context) which is a mandatory operation when the MS wants to receive and send GPRS data.

For subscribers using both circuit-switched and packet-switched services, both GPRS and IMSI network entry procedures can be combined. The figure below illustrates the GPRS network entry procedure from the MS.

Figure 2 – 15: Description of the network entry procedure from MS

1. The mobile station (MS) initiates the network attachment procedure by transmitting an association request message to the SGSN. This association request message contains information about the mobile station.


2. If the Mobility Management Frame (MMC) already exists on the network, the authentication function must be used. The authentication function is also used in case the maximum number of mobile stations that have joined the network has been reached. After the temporary mobile subscriber identity P-TIMSI has been assigned, if the network uses encryption, the encryption mode will be selected.

3. If the mobile station changes its SGSN after joining the GPRS network, or in the case of the mobile station's first network entry. The SGSN will notify the HLR to update the location of the mobile station. The HLR will then notify the old SGSN if the mobile station changes its SGSN.

4. The SGSN selects the radio channel and sends an admission message to the mobile station, the P-TIMSI number will be sent along if the SGSN assigns a new P-TIMSI number.

5. If the P-TIMSI number changes, the mobile station shall notify the SGSN of the receipt of the P-TIMSI number by means of a network attachment completion message.


2.6.4. Network disconnection procedure

Similar to network attachment, there are three basic types of network detachment: IMSI detachment, GPRS detachment and combined GPRS and IMSI detachment. Combined GPRS and IMSI detachment can only be initiated by the MS.

2. If the network disconnect type is GPRS, the packet data protocol frame that was initiated at the GGSN shall be deleted by the SGSN by sending a packet data protocol frame deletion request to the GGSN. The GGSN shall reply with a packet data protocol frame deletion request reply message.

3. If the detachment is due to mobile station shutdown, the SGSN will send a detachment acceptance message to the mobile station.

2.6.4.2. Procedure for leaving the network from HLR

The Home Location Register (HLR) uses the HLR detach procedure to operate the network, it can perform the request to delete the mobile management frame and packet data protocol frame (MM frame and PDP frame) of the subscriber at the SGSN.

2. The SGSN notifies the mobile station that the mobile station has left the network by sending a Leave Request message to the mobile station.

3. The packet data protocol frame that has been initiated and is active at the mobile station's SGSN shall be deleted by the packet data protocol frame deletion request message from the SGSN to the GGSN. The GGSN shall confirm the deletion of the packet data protocol frame by sending a packet data protocol frame deletion request reply message.

4. The mobile station sends a detachment acceptance response message to the SGSN immediately after receiving the detachment request.

5. The SGSN confirms the deletion of mobility management frames and packet data protocol frames with a location deletion acknowledgement message.


2.6.5. Enable Packet Data Protocol – PDP

After the network attachment procedure, the MS performs the packet data protocol activation procedure. Normally the MS requests the network to activate a PDP with a certain quality of service. However, the PDP can also be activated by the network requesting the MS. During the PDP activation process, the router at the GGSN is also activated. Routing between the SGSN and the GGSN is performed by activating tunneling between the SGSN and the GGSN. PDPs can be activated for fixed or dynamic addresses. After the network attachment and PDP activation, the MS can send and receive point-to-point or point-to-multipoint information.

2.7. Transmission characteristics and power output correction

Messages on the air interface are transmitted over radio blocks. Each radio block is composed of four interleaved bursts. The radio block consists of a MAC header, a body containing data or signaling information, and a block checksum. There are four different encoding methods:

CS – 1 has a speed of 9.05 kbps/1 timeslot, data rate of 8 kbps/1 timeslot.

CS – 2 has a speed of 13.4 kbps/1 timeslot, data rate of 12 kbps/1 timeslot.

CS – 3 has a speed of 15.6 kbps/1 timeslot, data rate of 14.4 kbps/1 timeslot.


CS – 4 has a speed of 21.4 kbps/1 timeslot, data rate of 20 kbps/1 timeslot.

The decision on which coding method to use depends on the network conditions, or more specifically the quality of the radio link between the mobile station and the base station. If the radio link quality is poor, there is a lot of interference, and the reliability is not high, the network will use
