6.2.5 QoS and priority signalling
User's requested priority from MC session request as per ETSI TS 123 280 [2] shall be used for indicating the requested QoS and priority to the MC Service Server. Requested priority shall be used to uniquely identify railway communication session categories. The conveyance of <user-requested-priority> in the SIP INVITE messages during the call establishment is defined per MC Service in clause 6. The <user-requested-priority> value shall be 6 digit non-negative integer starting with non-zero digit. Format of <user-requested-priority> shall be [Communication Session Category] [Sub-category] where: • [Communication Session Category] is 4 digit field that uniquely indicates Communication Session Category. • [Sub-category] is 2-digit field that uniquely indicates further priority distinction within the same Communication Session Category. The <user-requested-priority> field of the SIP INVITE shall be used between the MC Service Client and (MC Service Server of) the FRMCS Service Domain. The Resource-Priority header field of the SIP INVITE shall always be set to "Normal". NOTE: The mapping of the combination of Communication Session Category and Sub-category to the <user-requested-priority> field of SIP INVITE needs to be consistent between the MC Service Client and its serving FRMCS Service Domains (an example of such mapping is presented in Table A-1). The Application Function shall send relevant QoS and priority parameters (i.e. afAppId and resPrio, as specified in ETSI TS 103 765-1 [15], clause 8.1) over Rx or N5 interfaces.

4 Trackside network architecture
FRMCS trackside architecture consists of at least one FRMCS Transport Domain (as described in ETSI TS 103 765-1 [3], clause 4.2) and zero or more non-FRMCS Transport Domains. The FRMCS Service Domain (as described in ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 5.1) enables communication as services between two or multiple FRMCS Users for voice and data applications. The Service Stratum is specified over the 3GPP Mission Critical Communications (MCX) Framework and decouples the application from the underlying transport networks. The focus of clause 5 is the FRMCS Trackside Gateway, which provides access to communication and complementary services supported by the FRMCS System to and from trackside applications. The IWF provides centralized support for interworking between an MCPTT or MCData system and a GSM-R system specified in ETSI TS 103 792 [6], clause 5. Figure 4-1 shows the FRMCS trackside architecture. The TSAPP reference point in Figure 4-1 is described in UIC FRMCS FFFIS-7950 [1] (Form Fit Functional Interface Specification). The TSAPP reference point supports the coupling modes for FRMCS (outlined in UIC FRMCS SRS (FW-AT 7800) [i.2]) defined in ETSI TR 103 791 [i.1]. The TSCTRL reference point is described in clause 7 of the present document. NOTE: Multipath Gateway can be combined with the FRMCS Trackside Gateway. The selected deployment option is the choice of the FRMCS operator.

5.1 General
The FRMCS Trackside Gateway is a logical component which is used to host specific functions. The FRMCS Trackside Gateway is the logical symmetrical component to the On-Board FRMCS. It is the link between the Transport Network and the Application at the infrastructure side (see UIC FRMCS SRS (FW-AT 7800) [i.2], Figure 6-4). NOTE: Implementors have the choice of combining the FRMCS Trackside Gateway functionalities with the functionalities of the Multipath Gateway as specified in ETSI TS 103 765-1 [3], clause 5.3. In this case, the combined entity inherits the Reference points from both the FRMCS Trackside Gateway (TSAPP and TAP TS) and from the Multipath Gateway (TAP Service Agents and FSMPM).

103 765-3
4.3.2 Profiles management
The FSOMR enables profiles management in FRMCS for the On-Board FRMCS across three essential functionalities: • SIM profile management. • TLS certificates management. • Management of other profile information. For SIM profile management, the functionalities are delegated to individual On-Board FRMCS Radio Modules using the GSMA Remote SIM Provisioning architecture (see GSMA SGP.21 [i.3] and GSMA SGP.22 [i.4]), as specified in ETSI TS 103 765-5 [3], clause 4.1.2. ETSI ETSI TS 103 765-3 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 10 For TLS certificates management, the On-Board FRMCS shall support: • For certificates revocation checking: - The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) with extensions as specified in IETF RFC 6960 [6] and IETF RFC 9654 [7]. - OCSP stapling as specified in IETF RFC 6066 [8] and IETF RFC 6961 [9]. • For automated certificate lifecycle management, one of the following protocols: - Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME), as specified in IETF RFC 8555 [10]. - Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST), as specified in IETF RFC 7030 [11]. NOTE: For automated certificate lifecycle management, the choice of protocols reflects that different railway organizations can have different approaches on this matter. For management of other profile information, the On-Board FRMCS need to implement a MCData client with support for establishment of MCData IPcon connectivity and MCData Short Data Service. The MCData client for FSOMR within the On-Board FRMCS shall: • Support the MCData client general procedures for SDS as specified in ETSI TS 124 282 [13], clauses 9.2.1.2 and 9.2.1.3. • Support the MCData client terminating procedures for Standalone SDS using signalling control plane as specified in ETSI 124 282 [13], clause 9.2.2.2.2.

5.3 Profile Storage
The support of Loose-Coupled Applications by an On-Board FRMCS and the distribution of functionalities between the MC Clients within the On-Board FRMCS on the one hand and the On-Board FRMCS Radio Module(s) on the other hand imply that the On-Board FRMCS has to store and manage sensitive information (such as credentials) that would traditionally be stored within a SIM card. The On-Board FRMCS shall be equipped with a secure enclave, i.e. a tamper resistant secure hardware component (e.g. TPM, HSM) or equivalent storage protection mechanisms. NOTE 1: The present document does not specify specific requirements on the implementation of the secure enclave. The On-Board FRMCS shall store at least the following elements in the secure enclave: • Credentials associated with each MC User ID required by supported On-Board Loose-Coupled Applications. • IMS/SIP Core credentials associated with each MC User ID required by supported On-Board Loose-Coupled Applications. NOTE 2: The Voice Application Service or other Tight-Coupled Applications are expected to be equipped with their own secure profile storage capabilities. The credentials shall be integrity protected within the On-Board FRMCS secure enclave. The long-term key(s) of the subscription credential(s) shall be confidentiality protected within the On-Board FRMCS secure enclave. The long-term key(s) of the subscription credential(s) shall never be available in the clear outside of the secure enclave. The authentication algorithm(s) that make use of the subscription credentials shall always be executed within the secure enclave.

The following steps are undertaken: 1) For each ongoing communication carried by the Target On-Board FRMCS Radio Module, the On-Board FRMCS shall perform the ongoing communication release as specified in clause 7.2.6. 2) The On-Board FRMCS shall perform the registration of the Target On-Board FRMCS Radio Module in the Target FRMCS Transport Domain as specified in ETSI TS 103 765-1 [1], clause 6.1. 3) The On-Board FRMCS shall perform transport path establishment on the Target On-Board FRMCS Radio Module to enable MC signaling towards the Target FRMCS Service Domain as specified in ETSI TS 103 765-1 [1], clause 6.2. ETSI ETSI TS 103 765-3 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 14 NOTE 1: In the case of IFDT with dual On-Board FRMCS Radio Modules, during the transition, the On-Board FRMCS can still maintain a transport path on the Serving On-Board FRMCS Radio Module towards the Serving FRMCS Domain (e.g. for the purpose MC signalling that allows the proper release of an ongoing communication in Serving FRMCS Service Domain during the transition - see step 4b). NOTE 2: If the Serving FRMCS Service Domain is not the Home FRMCS Service Domain, the On-Board FRMCS also needs in the following step a transport path towards the Home FRMCS Service Domain (e.g. for the purpose of the HTTP exchanges with primary IdM server). 4) For each Loose-Coupled Application in Locally Bound state and identified as Type I or III in the FRMCS Railway On-Board Profile: a) If the application has no open session, the On-Board FRMCS shall execute the procedure identified in clause 7.1.3.2.1. b) If the application has an open session, the On-Board FRMCS shall execute the procedure identified in clause 7.1.3.2.2. 5) For each Loose-Coupled Application in Locally Bound state and identified as Type II in the FRMCS Railway On-Board Profile: a) If the On-Board FRMCS is entering a FRMCS Domain within the Domain of applicability of the application, the On-Board FRMCS shall perform the procedure identified in clause 7.1.3.3.1. b) If the On-Board FRMCS is entering a FRMCS Domain which is not in the Domain of applicability of the application, the On-Board FRMCS shall execute the procedure identified in clause 7.1.3.3.2. 6) For each Loose-Coupled Application in Locally Bound state and identified as Type IV in the FRMCS Railway On-Board Profile, the On-Board FRMCS shall execute the procedure identified in clause 7.1.3.4. 7) For each Tight-Coupled Application in Locally Bound state, the On-Board FRMCS shall notify the application of the availability of the Target FRMCS Transport Domain on the notification event stream associated with the application as specified in clause 7.3.3.5. The JSON structure being passed is of type "ftdAvlNotif" (as specified in FRMCS FFFIS-7950 [5], clause 9.11.1.11) filled as follows: i) The ftdAVL field shall be set to TRUE. ii) The nwTransition field shall be set to TRUE. iii) The FrmcsDomain field shall be set to the PLMN ID representing the Target FRMCS Transport Domain. NOTE 3: The On-Board FRMCS needs to uniquely associate a Target FRMCS Service Domain to a Target FRMCS Transport Domain (PLMN ID) for the network transition points. NOTE 4: On-Board Tight-Coupled Application will need to uniquely associate a Target FRMCS Service Domain to a Target FRMCS Transport Domain (PLMN ID) for the network transition points. This is however out of scope of the present document and left to the discretion of the implementers of these applications. ETSI ETSI TS 103 765-3 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 15

7.1.3.2 Inter-FRMCS Domain transition: Type I or Type III applications
7.1.3.2.1 Inter-FRMCS Domain transition: Type I or Type III applications with no open session For each Loose-Coupled Application in Locally Bound state and identified as interoperable in any FRMCS Domain in the FRMCS Railway On-Board Profile, if the application has no open session, the following steps are undertaken: 1) One of the following cases is performed depending on whether the Target FRMCS service Domain is the Home FRMCS Service Domain or a Foreign FRMCS Service Domain: a) If the Target FRMCS Service Domain is a Foreign FRMCS Service Domain, the On-Board FRMCS shall perform the "MC Service User migration" procedure between Serving FRMCS Service Domain and Target FRMCS Service Domain as specified in ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 6.4.1, using the MC credentials and IMS credentials retrieved from the FRMCS Railway On-Board Application. b) If the Target FRMCS Service Domain is the Home FRMCS Service Domain, the On-Board FRMCS shall perform "MC User registration" in Home FRMCS Service Domain (see ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 6.1). If the step is unsuccessful, it shall be repeated every T_RETRY_MCUSR_MIG seconds for a maximum of N_RETRY_MCUSR_MIG times before it can be considered as a failure in step 4. 2) If the Serving FRMCS Service Domain is not the Home FRMCS Service Domain, the On-Board FRMCS shall perform "Migrated MC Service User deauthorization" in Serving FRMCS Service Domain (see ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 6.4.2). NOTE: This procedure is performed on the same MC User ID which was serving the application in the Serving FRMCS Service Domain before the transition. 3) If step 1 is successful, the On-Board FRMCS shall notify the application of the availability of the FRMCS Service Domain on the notification event stream associated with the application as specified in clause 7.3.3.5. The JSON structure being passed is of type "fsdAvlNotifData" (as specified in FRMCS FFFIS-7950 [5], clause 9.11.1.12) filled as follows: i) The fsdAVL field shall be set to TRUE. ii) The nwTransition field shall be set to TRUE. 4) If step 1 failed, the On-Board FRMCS shall notify the application of the unavailability of the Target FRMCS Service Domain on the notification event stream associated with the application as specified in clause 7.3.3.5. The JSON structure being passed is of type "fsdAvlNotifData" (as specified in FRMCS FFFIS-7950 [5], clause 9.11.1.12) filled as follows: i) The fsdAVL field shall be set to FALSE. ii) The nwTransition field shall be set to TRUE. 7.1.3.2.2 Inter-FRMCS Domain transition: Type I or Type III applications with an open session For each Loose-Coupled Application in Locally Bound state and identified as interoperable in any FRMCS Domain in the FRMCS Railway On-Board Profile, if the application has at least one open session, the following steps are undertaken: 1) If the FRMCS Railway On-board Profile for the Loose-Coupled Application does not include the "IFSDT_Dual_MCID" parameter: a) The On-Board FRMCS shall perform the "MCData IPcon release" procedure as specified in ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 6.2.2.5 for the open sessions in the Serving FRMCS Service Domain. ETSI ETSI TS 103 765-3 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 16 NOTE 1: This allows the MC Service Server to clean up the session context but also allows the remote application endpoint to be notified of the intentional closure of this session. This step can include the release of the corresponding transport path on the Serving On-Board FRMCS Radio Module. However, the failure of this step does not prevent proceeding to the next step. b) One of the following cases is performed depending on whether the nature of the Target FRMCS service Domain: i) If the Target FRMCS Service Domain is a Foreign FRMCS Service Domain, the On-Board FRMCS shall perform the "MC Service User migration" procedure between Serving FRMCS Service Domain and Target FRMCS Service Domain (see ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 6.4.1), using the IMS credentials retrieved from the FRMCS Railway On-Board Application. ii) If the Target FRMCS Service Domain is the Home FRMCS Service Domain, the On-Board FRMCS shall perform "MC User registration" in Home FRMCS Service Domain (see ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 6.1). If the procedure is unsuccessful, it shall be repeated every T_RETRY_MCUSR_MIG seconds for a maximum of N_RETRY_MCUSR_MIG times before it can be considered as a failure in step 1e). c) If the Serving FRMCS Service Domain is not the Home FRMCS Service Domain, the On-Board FRMCS shall perform "Migrated MC Service user de-authorization" in Serving FRMCS Service Domain (see ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 6.4.2). NOTE 2: Step 1b) is performed on the same MC User ID which was serving the application in the Serving FRMCS Service Domain before the transition. d) If step 1b) is successful, the On-Board FRMCS shall notify the application of the availability of the Target FRMCS Service Domain on the notification event stream associated with the application as specified in clause 7.3.3.5. The JSON structure being passed is of type "fsdAvlNotifData" (as specified in FRMCS FFFIS-7950 [5], clause 9.11.1.12) filled as follows: 1) The fsdAVL field shall be set to TRUE. 2) The nwTransition field shall be set to TRUE. e) If step 1b) failed, the On-Board FRMCS shall notify the application of the unavailability of the Target FRMCS Service Domain on the notification event stream associated with the application as specified in clause 7.3.3.5. The JSON structure being passed is of type "fsdAvlNotifData" (as specified in FRMCS FFFIS-7950 [5], clause 9.11.1.12) filled as follows: 1) The fsdAVL field shall be set to FALSE. 2) The nwTransition field shall be set to TRUE. 2) If the FRMCS Railway On-board Profile for the Loose-Coupled Application includes the "IFSDT_Dual_MCID" parameter: a) The On-Board FRMCS shall set the flag "IFSDT_DUAL_MCID_IN_PROGRESS" in the application context. b) The On-Board FRMCS shall execute the MC Client readiness procedure as specified in clause 7.2.2.

7.1.3.3.1 Inter-FRMCS Domain transition: Type II applications entering the Domain of applicability For each Loose-Coupled Application in Locally Bound state and for which the On-Board FRMCS is entering a FRMCS Domain within the Domain of applicability of the application as identified from the FRMCS Railway On-Board Profile, the following step is undertaken: 1) The On-Board FRMCS shall execute the MC Client readiness for network transition procedure as specified in clause 7.2.3. ETSI ETSI TS 103 765-3 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 17 7.1.3.3.2 Inter-FRMCS Domain transition: Type II applications entering a FRMCS Domain which is not in the Domain of applicability For each Loose-Coupled Application which are in Locally Bound state and for which the On-Board FRMCS entering a FRMCS Domain which is not in the Domain of applicability of the application as identified from the FRMCS Railway On-Board Profile, the following steps are undertaken: 1) For open sessions associated to the Loose-Coupled Application: a) The On-Board FRMCS shall perform the "MCData IPcon release" procedure (both SIP and MC layers) in Serving FRMCS Service Domain (see ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 6.2.2.5). b) The On-Board FRMCS shall notify the application of the termination of the session by sending a notification of type sessionClosure on the notification event stream associated with the application as specified in clause 7.3.3.5. 2) The On-Board FRMCS shall execute the "MC User deregistration" procedure in Serving FRMCS Service Domain as specified in ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 6.3. 3) The On-Board FRMCS shall notify the application of the unavailability of the FRMCS Service Domain on the notification event stream associated with the application as specified in clause 7.3.3.5. The JSON structure being passed is of type "fsdAvlNotifData" (as specified in FRMCS FFFIS-7950 [5], clause 9.11.1.12) filled as follows: i) The fsdAVL field shall be set to FALSE. ii) The nwTransition field shall be set to TRUE.
