3 Justification
Self-Configuration, 3GPP TS 32.501 has a chapter 6.5.2.6 titled “Radio Configuration Data”, but its only content is “FFS”. Consequently 32.502 and 32.503 contain nothing to fulfil some of the requirements listed in clause 5.1.5.1 of TR 32.816.

4 Network Selection overview
The Stage 1 Requirements for Network Selection are found in TS 22.011 [1]. This describes the behaviour that is expected from a UE in order to select a PLMN from which to gain service. Two modes of operation are supported: Automatic and Manual. At power on, and the UE is required to revert to the last mode used at powe...

22.811
5.1 General
This clause describes the principles that are applicable in network selection up to Rel-6 and that are not expected to be challenged by the enhancements introduced to the network selection procedures. Furthermore the expectations of the three main stakeholders in the network selection procedures (customer, home operato...
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
22.811
5.2 Key principles
The following is a set of principles that should be preserved when devising a new procedure to perform the registration to the serving mobile network. The assumption made in this paragraph is that the term “network” has to be interpreted as the core network of the mobile operator with whom the subscriber has direct rel...
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
22.811
5.3 Backward compatibility
Enhancements to the network selection principles will not negatively affect the functionality of existing devices. Enhancements to the Network Selection procedure in the core network shall be done such that backwards compatibility with existing UEs is maintained. The network selection principles should allow for at lea...
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8

5.4 Customer expectations
Following switch-on where there is no last registered PLMN, the user should be registered on non-forbidden PLMN as fast as possible (typically within 20 seconds). This period includes the execution of any 3GPP defined functionality (e.g. after any PIN verification) that is performed by the mobile device but excludes an...

5.5 Home operator expectations
The home operator's users' devices should select the home operator's preferred network and access type while roaming. The home operator should be able to set which preferred networks are in the customer’s device. The home operator should be able to set the mix of networks and access types that can be used by each roami...

5.6 Visited operator expectations
It should be possible for the visited operator to direct traffic from roamers onto the appropriate access technology to manage network capacity and loading (e.g. to use 2G for voice and 3G for high speed data services). The ability to change the access in real-time for roamers according to their usage should be possibl...

5.7 UICC and USIM considerations
In terms of Network Selection Procedures, the USIM contains several sets of data that are used either for automatic or manual selection: - User controlled PLMN selector with Access Technology - Operator controlled PLMN selector with Access Technology - Higher Priority PLMN search period - Forbidden PLMNs - HPLMN select...

6 Identified issues with current specifications
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
22.811
6.1 HPLMN initiated network reselection
No dynamic mechanism exists for the HPLMN to request that a UE selects a different VPLMN whilst roaming. Currently this happens through the use of the background scan when the UE is on a non-preferred network. This mechanism is not considered dynamic since updating the preference lists in the UE and taking the new list...
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
22.811
6.2 Single priority or no priorities on VPLMNs
Currently the only standardised automatic network selection mechanism by which the HPLMN can control which VPLMN is selected is through the Operator preferred list. The intended behaviour is that one network in the visited country takes precedence over all the others, and in the case where a UE has selected an alternat...
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
22.811
6.3 Manual network selection
Manual selection is a useful tool in cases where the selected PLMN is not providing adequate quality. However, in other circumstances it prevents the mobile operator from providing the user with the best possible service. One key limitation of manual network selection is that the user is presented only with the network...
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
22.811
6.4 Time to select a network
When multiple bands and multiple technologies are available the time to select a PLMN may be too long. The new procedure should address this area
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
22.811
6.5 RAT preference for PLMNs not prioritised by the USIM
This refers specifically to the case of the initial PLMN selection. Subsequent to that, the serving PLMN may change the RAT used by the UE .The visited operator should be able to allocate access technology and data rates on the basis of the identity (e.g. MCC-MNC) of the home operator of the inbound roamer. TS 23.122 ...
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
22.811
6.6 A new PLMN can only be selected after an exhaustive scan
This section highlights that the time from loss of coverage to registration on a new PLMN is already quite long and with future developments will possibly be even longer. TS 23.122 [2] and TS 25.304 mandate that the UE shall search for its last RPLMN in every supported RAT and bands at power on or recovery from lack of...
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
22.811
6.10 Ping ponging between Registration Areas
Currently the mechanisms standardised do not seem to adequately cater for the national roaming scenario nor formulti RAT (3G, WLAN, 2G etc.) environments. This, when associated with fluctuating signal condition, can lead to UE ping-ponging between 2G and 3G , causing significant signalling load on the network as well a...
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
22.811
6.11 The last RPLMN is always the highest priority
TS 23.122 [2] mandates that the UE shall always select in priority its last RPLMN or an ePLMN when recovering from out of coverage or at power-on. The main reason for this RPLMN requirement was due to the fact that in all roaming cases at that time the mobile will not find its HPLMN and this introduced an unnecessary (...
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
22.811
6.12 Network selection in border areas
A problem exists for mobile users when commuting across national borders. Whilst manual network selection may be used to ensure that the user can select the HPLMN / EHPLMN, many users use Automatic Selection mode; and the ME is only permitted to select PLMNs of a higher priority within the same country in automatic mod...
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
22.811
6.13 Multiple EHPLMNs
Currently the TS 23.122 [2] allows an operator to define a list of EHPLMNs which may have different priority. Thus under automatic network selection it is possible to for one of the constituent networks to be given priority over another. Manual network selection only allows the highest EHPLMN to be displayed to the su...

7 Impact of technology changes
This section looks at how technology changes can impact the current Network Selection mechanism. When a new technology has been introduced typically one of two options are taken: - Replication of the network selection principles. Replicating the user experience provides the same over all "look and feel" to the user, ho...
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8

7.1 Multi-provider environments
The network selection procedures in TS 22.011 [1] focuses on PLMN selection defined in Section 3.2.2.1 as “an UE based procedure, whereby candidate PLMNs are chosen, one at a time, for attempted registration”. Upcoming usage scenarios may require taking into consideration for network selection where there are different...

3.2 Principle of radio channel power monitoring
The transport channels and physical channels have mapping relations. The following is mapping of transport channels onto physical channels. 25.211 From the figure above, the mapping from transport channel to physical channel is mostly one to one. So, in most cases, we just need to monitor the physical channels. It is p...

6.1 Introduction
In the PS CN domain the node that comprises the more user and control plane functions is undoubtedly the SGSN. It is therefore judicious to consider the SGSN as the primary target for a split of its user and control plane functions. This approach consists in decomposing the SGSN into an SGSN server and a PS media gatew...

6.2 Logical Architecture
The logical architecture for this approach, as an evolution of the reference logical architecture, is depicted in figure 2. Figure 2: Evolved logical architecture with SGSN server and PS-MGW NOTE: Putting SGSN server and 2G-SGSN in the same node is an implementation option.

6.2.1.1 SGSN Server
The SGSN server is the main control node for GPRS. It handles all the signalling interfaces of an SGSN, including the GTP-C protocol on the Gn and Gp interfaces and the RANAP protocol on the Iu interface. The SGSN server controls the PS Media Gateway (PS-MGW) through the Mp interface.

6.2.1.2 2G-SGSN
This evolved architecture has no impact on the 2G-SGSN. A 2G-SGSN is necessary to support the Gb interface. The Gn interface of a 2G-SGSN supports both user and control data.
