7.1.4.1 GSM-R to FRMCS transition procedure
Precondition: • The On-Board FRMCS has received a Network Transition Trigger (NTT) indicating the Target FRMCS Transport Domain (identified by a PLMN ID). • The On-Board FRMCS has selected a Target On-Board FRMCS Radio Module. • For a given train, all running applications are served either by GSM-R or by FRMCS at a given time during the train journey. NOTE 1: The present document excludes the implementation scenario where at the given time during the train journey, some applications are running on GSM-R and some others are running on FRMCS. The following steps are undertaken: 1) The On-Board FRMCS shall perform the registration of the Target On-Board FRMCS Radio Module in the Target FRMCS Transport Domain (see ETSI TS 103 765-1 [1], clause 6.1). 2) 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 (see ETSI TS 103 765-1 [1], clause 6.2). ETSI ETSI TS 103 765-3 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 18 NOTE 2: If the Serving FRMCS Service Domain is not the Home FRMCS Service Domain, the On-Board FRMCS 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). 3) For each Loose-Coupled Application in Locally Bound state and identified as Type I or III in the FRMCS Railway On-Board Profile, the On-Board FRMCS shall execute the procedure identified in clause 7.1.4.2. 4) For each Loose-Coupled Application in Locally Bound state and identified as Type II in the FRMCS Railway On-Board Profile, 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 7.1.4.3. 5) 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. 6) 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: a) The ftdAVL field shall be set to TRUE. b) The nwTransition field shall be set to TRUE. c) 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.

7.3.2.3 On-Board-FRMCS-terminated incoming session invite procedure
NOTE 1: The present document only specifies the handling of incoming MCData IPcon session invites. Upon receipt of a "SIP INVITE request for IP Connectivity session for terminating MCData client" by the MC Client associated with a Loose-Coupled Application, the On-Board FRMCS is expected to notify the application. The following steps shall be undertaken: 1) If the application is not in the Application_Locally_Bound state, the On-Board FRMCS shall send a 480 (Temporarily Unavailable) response with the warning text equal to "FRMCS - terminating application is not locally bound" as specified in ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 6.2.2.3 to reject the request. 2) If the parameters fetched from the FRMCS On-Board Application Profile indicate that the application is not allowed to receive incoming sessions, the On-Board FRMCS shall send a 403 (Forbidden) response with the warning text equal to "FRMCS - terminating application is not allowed by profile to receive incoming session" as specified in ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 6.2.2.3 with warning text "FRMCS-Terminating application is not allowed to receive an incoming session" to reject the request. 3) The On-Board FRMCS shall notify the application of the incoming session request 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 "incomingSessionNotif" (as specified in FRMCS FFFIS-7950 [5], clause 9.11.1) filled as follows: i) The sessionId field shall be set to a new sessionId. ii) The remoteId field shall be set to the originating application identity value within the <application-data> attribute of the SIP INVITE received by the terminating MCData client. iii) The communicationCategory field shall be set to the value mapped to the <user-requested-priority> retrieved from the SIP INVITE. 4) The On-Board FRMCS shall start a timer T_INCOMING_SESSION associated with the application and the session. 5) If the timer T_INCOMING_SESSION set at step 4 expires before being cleared, the On-Board FRMCS shall send a 408 (Request Timeout) response with the warning text equal to "FRMCS-Terminating application did not respond in time to session invitation" as specified in ETSI TS 103 765-2 [2], clause 6.2.2.3 to reject the request. NOTE 2: If T_INCOMING_SESSION is longer than SIP Timer B (64* timer T1 or about 32 seconds), the standard behaviour ETSI TS 124 229 [i.5] is presumed. If T_INCOMING_SESSION is shorter than SIP Timer B, the normative statement of step 5 applies. NOTE 3: The actual positive response to the SIP INVITE needs to be sent as part of the handling of the HTTP PUT verb on /sessions/{dynamicId}/{sessionId}in clause 7.3.2.4.

The Short Message Service and Short Messages are defined in ETSI TS 123 040 [i.4]. The present document specifies Short Data Service (SDS) interworking between GSM-R users and MCData clients using one-to-one standalone SDS messages. The IWF behaves as a peer MCData server to other MCData servers for the FRMCS side and it implements the ISC interface as an S-CSCF, as the IP-SM-GW (SMS application server) is considered a part of the GSM-R side. When a GSM-R user attempts to send a GSM-R message to the MCData service, the IWF converts the Instant Message from the IP-SM Gateway into a request to send an MCData SDS message. When an MCData user sends an SDS message to the GSM-R system, the IWF converts the message to an Instant Message and converts the destination and originating address using the same mapping techniques as in point-to-point voice calls. The IWF then forwards the Instant Message via the IP-SM-GW to the GSM-R SMSC. NOTE: MCDATA SDS is limited to MCDATA SDS Text Messaging.

5.1 Functional model description
The present document defines the reference points between the IWF and the FRMCS servers as well as the reference points between the IWF and the GSM-R nodes. Additionally, it defines the functionality of the IWF, which acts as an MC service server connected with the FRMCS MC service server utilizing the IWF-1 or IWF-2 reference points, including protocol translation, identity mapping, transcoding, routing and other functions, to be performed by the IWF between the reference points on the FRMCS MC service side and the GSM-R side and vice versa. The IWF provides centralized support for interworking between an MCPTT or MCData system and a GSM-R system. In MCPTT or MCData systems, the identity of a GSM-R user is provided as an MCPTT or MCData ID, and the identity of a GSM-R group is provided as a MCPTT or MCData group ID. The identity is used by the IWF to derive the corresponding identities used in the GSM-R system and vice versa. ETSI ETSI TS 103 792 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 14 The IWF performs the identity mapping between an MCPTT system or MCData system and a GSM-R system during exchange of signalling and media messages. The IWF acts as MCX participating function in the context of GSM-R interworking. Figure 5.1-1 illustrates the functional model of the application plane for interworking between GSM-R, MCPTT, and MCData.

5.2.0 General
The normative requirements placed on a FRMCS SIP Core are detailed in ETSI TS 103 765-2 [4]. The reference points only need to be derived from IMS specific reference points as shown in Table 5.2.0-1. ETSI ETSI TS 103 792 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 15 Table 5.2.0-1: Proposed mapping of refence points on GSM-R side according to ETSI TS 129 163 [12] Original IMS reference point Derived IWF-gx reference point Mg/Mj IWF-g1 Mb IWF-g2 ISC IWF-g5

5.2.1 Reference point IWF-1 (between the IWF and the MCPTT server)
The IWF-1 reference point, defined between the IWF and the MCPTT server, enables peer-to-peer interconnection between the GSM-R system and the MCPTT system. IWF-1 supports a subset of the MCPTT-3 functionalities as defined in ETSI TS 123 379 [i.6], with some differences detailed in the present document. The IWF-1 interface uses the same signalling plane protocol(s) defined for MCPTT-3. Additionally, floor control signalling and media are also transferred using the IWF-1 reference point.

103 792
5.2.2 Reference point IWF-2 (between the IWF and the MCData server)
The IWF-2 reference point, defined between the IWF and the MCData server, enables SDS interconnection between the GSM-R system and the MCData system. IWF-2 supports a subset of the functionalities of MCData-SDS-1 and MCData-SDS-2, as specified in ETSI TS 123 282 [i.7] with some differences as detailed in the present document. The IWF-2 interface uses the same signalling plane protocol(s) defined for MCData-3 except where otherwise detailed in the present document. 5.2.3 Reference point IWF-3 (between the IWF and the group management server) The IWF-3 reference point, defined between the IWF and the group management server, would enable group management interconnection between the GSM-R system and the MC service system. IWF-3 is based upon CSC-16, as specified in ETSI TS 123 280 [i.3]. IWF-3 is not used for interworking with GSM-R. 5.2.4 Reference point IWF-g1 (between the IWF and the MSC server/MGCF) The IWF-g1 reference point, defined between the IWF and the MSC server via MGCF, enables signalling plane for voice communication based on implementation of the reference point Mg/Mj as defined by ETSI TS 129 163 [12]. Additional information on GCR from ETSI TS 143 068 [i.8]: "The general architecture of GSM is maintained. In addition, a network function is required which is used for registration of the group call attributes, the Group Call Register (GCR)". The IWF has no direct interface towards the GCR. NOTE: The GCR implementation is not specified. It is to be realized e.g. as a new network node, in a PABX directly attached to an MSC, inside an MSC or as an HLR. The interface between the GCR function and other functions is not specified in the GSM technical specifications. As a consequence, the functional split between MSC and GCR as developed in the present document is only indicative. The GCR data for a specific voice group call is set at the creation of the group call attributes and is to be subsequently modified. No support for these functions is specified in the GSM technical specifications. In a RANflex configuration as defined in ETSI TS 123 236 [i.9] with group call redundancy, GCRs associated to MSCs belonging to the same redundancy pool need to communicate with each other by means of SYNC_GCR messages.

5.2.6 Reference point IWF-g5 (between the IWF and IP-SM-GW)
The IWF-g5 reference point is defined between the IP-SM-GW on the GSM-R side and the IWF. If SIP interfaces are used, the IP-SM-GW on the GSM-R side converts the SMPP MAP protocol to SIP (ISC).

6.0 General
In the present document, the IWF provides network support for interworking between FRMCS and GSM-R for voice and messaging services. The IWF shall provide the following services: • Routing service(s) that can manage addressing. • Identity mapping service(s) that can manage a set of identities. The IWF is connected with: • MC Service Server(s) using IWF-1 and IWF-2; • MGCF using IWF-g1; and • IP-SM-GW using IWF-g5; to enable those routing services and identity mapping services (besides other services of the IWF). Clause 6 specifies the routing services and the identity mapping services of the IWF. Clause 6 refers to address parameters by generic parameter names, as identified in Table 6.0-1: Table 6.0-1: Used generic parameter names Generic Parameter Name Applicable Communication or Service Called Address Private Call, OIP, Messaging Calling Address Additional Calling Address Connected Address TIP, ECT, Conferencing User To User Information Presentation of FN Call History Info Call Diversion NOTE: Generic parameter names are introduced for the purpose of specifying identity mapping services in clause 6.3. The mapping between these generic address parameters and the protocol parameters at the various reference points are described in the stage 3 parts of the present document.

6.1 Identity definitions
From a logical point of view, the IWF performs an identity mapping between the FRMCS reference points IWF-1/IWF-2 and the GSM-R reference points IWF-g1/IWF-g5. Figure 6.1-1 shows the location of the IWF between FRMCS Domains and GSM-R Domains. ETSI ETSI TS 103 792 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 17 Figure 6.1-1: Domains involved in identity mapping Identity mapping refers to the mapping of protocol address parameters during the interworking of SIP calls and SIP messages between FRMCS domain(s) (i.e. the MCPTT/MCData system and its partner MC systems) and GSM-R domain(s) (i.e. the GSM-R core and other non-MC systems). The following identities shall be represented by protocol address parameters, at the reference points IWF-1, IWF-2, IWF-g1 and IWF-g5: • E.164 addresses specify addresses of subscribers. • EIRENE addresses specify addresses of railway functions. • MC service IDs specify the addresses of MCPTT or MCData users. • MC service group IDs specify the addresses of groups of MCPTT users. • FAs specify addresses of railway functions and can be rephrased as EIRENE addresses.

6.3.1.1 General
Within an FRMCS domain, the following provisions shall be done: • An IWF domain shall be defined for interworking with GSM-R: - The IWF domain is used to indicate that call(s) may be routed to another domain by using the IWF service(s). - The IWF domain shall be used by the IWF, in order to indicate to FRMCS entities that an identity belongs to a GSM-R entity. ETSI ETSI TS 103 792 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 19 • An FRMCS domain shall be defined: - The default FRMCS domain shall be used by the IWF, in order to replace the domain of GSM-R to FRMCS protocol address parameters that point to FRMCS entities. Within the FRMCS SIP Core, the following provisions shall be made: • The IMS domain, which is configured at the FRMCS SIP Core, shall be reachable from the GSM-R domain(s). • A configurable routing function shall be defined in such a way that: - Set(s) of E.164 digits or set(s) of EIRENE digits of address parameters can be assigned to set(s) of FRMCS entities. - Rule(s) can be applied that determine the processing of GSM-R to FRMCS address parameters for set(s) of FRMCS entities.

6.3.1.2 Examples for the changing of the domain in SIP URIs
As specified in clause 6.3.1, the IWF will change the domain of protocol address parameters, so that: • FRMCS entities can address GSM-R entities by using the IWF Domain (which will be changed into a GSM-R Domain by the IWF). • GSM-R entities can address FRMCS entities by using the IMS Domain (which will be changed into an FRMCS Domain by the IWF). Figure 6.3.1.2-1 depicts an example for IWF changing the domain of SIP URIs. It uses the following abbreviations: • CdA = Called Address • CgA = Calling Address • A1 Party = first example of a calling party (within a GSM-R Domain) • A2 Party = second example of a calling party (within an FRMCS Domain) • B Party = called party • ims.com = IMS Domain • mgcf.com = GSM-R Domain • frmcs.com = FRMCS Domain • iwf.com = IWF Domain NOTE: The user parameter ("user=gsmr", "user=phone") is omitted in the SIP URIs, for the sake of brevity. ETSI ETSI TS 103 792 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 20 Figure 6.3.1.2-1: Example for IWF changing the domain of SIP URIs NOTE: Figure 6.3.1.2-1 shows only the domain mapping for an FA(EIRENE) as a Called Address and for two alphanumeric MCPTT IDs as Calling Addresses, because the focus of this example is on the domain changing. Some more complete examples might be added in a later version.

103 792
6.3.3.1.0 General
A set of address parameters are subject to a generic identity mapping as specified within this clause. The first decision of generic identity mapping is to determine if the address parameters of a SIP/SDP message are subject to a GSM-R to FRMCS domain transition or subject to a FRMCS to GSM-R domain transition. Based on this decision, the appropriate procedure described in either clause 6.3.3.1.1 or 6.3.3.1.2 shall be applied. NOTE: The decision about whether the SIP message is being forwarded from FRMCS to GSM-R or vice versa, can be done based on the incoming interface: if the message is received via IWF-g1 or IWF-g5, then the interworking is from GSM-R to FRMCS, if the message is received via IWF-1 or IWF-2, then the interworking is from FRMCS to GSM-R.

6.3.3.1.1 Generic identity mapping for GSM-R to FRMCS SIP messages
For the case of a GSM-R to FRMCS interworking (as defined in cause 6.3.3.1.0) and for each SIP/SDP address parameter subject to generic identity mapping, the following processing steps shall be applied: NOTE: For the case of mapping of GSM-R to FRMCS addresses, the set of addresses subject to mapping can be one of the types: E.164 SIP-R URI or EIRENE SIP-R URI. 1) Configurable Routing Function The analysis part of the routing function determines if the address parameter identifies an FRMCS entity or a GSM-R entity. 2) FRMCS Entity For FRMCS entities, the configurable routing function shall deliver an indication of the type of how the identity mapping services shall handle the input SIP-R URI when mapping it to a concrete address parameter valid in the FRMCS domain. The identity mapping service(s) shall map the input SIP-R URI into: • MC Service ID; or • FA(164); or • FA(EIRENE); or ETSI ETSI TS 103 792 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 22 • FA. Means for protocol address parameter mapping may be locally hosted. If the content of the address parameter is mapped to an FA(164), to an FA(EIRENE), or to an FA, then the domain part of the resulting SIP URI shall be set to the FRMCS domain. 3) GSM-R Entity For GSM-R entities, one of the following protocol address mappings are applicable: • E.164 SIP-R URI shall be mapped to FA(164). • EIRENE SIP-R URI shall be mapped to FA(EIRENE). The domain part of the resulting SIP URI shall be set to an IWF domain.

For SIP messages received by an IWF from an FRMCS domain that have a GSM-R domain as destination (as defined in cause 6.3.3.1.0) and for each protocol address parameter subject to generic identity mapping, one of the following processing steps shall be applied to these parameter(s): 1) MC Service ID If the address parameter contains an MC Service ID, then it shall be mapped to an E.164 SIP-R URI or to an EIRENE SIP-R URI, depending on the indication provided by the configurable routing function. 2) E.164 Address If the address parameter carries an FA(164), then it shall be mapped to an E.164 SIP-R URI. The domain of the resulting SIP-R URI shall be set to the IMS domain. 3) EIRENE Address or FA If the address parameter carries an FA(EIRENE) or an FA, then it shall be mapped to an EIRENE SIP-R URI. The domain of the resulting SIP-R URI shall be set to the IMS domain.

103 792
6.3.3.2.0 General
The set of basic address parameters applicable for private calls using MCPTT, applying generic address parameter naming as defined in clause 6.2 are: • Called Address. • Calling Address. • Additional Calling Address. • Connected Address. The above set of basic address parameters shall be mapped according to clause 6.3.3.2. The Called Address shall, following the mapping according to clause 6.3.3.2, be used by IWF routing service(s) to determine the next destination endpoint for a SIP INVITE to an MCPTT private call dialog. NOTE 1: Called Address, Calling Address and Additional Calling Address are applicable to SIP INVITE message(s) that initiates a MCPTT Private Call dialog. NOTE 2: Connected Address is applicable to a successful response (200 OK) to a request that initiates a MCPTT private Call dialog. ETSI ETSI TS 103 792 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 23 NOTE 3: The set of basic address parameters mentioned above covers functional aliases in the called address, but it does not cover functional aliases in the calling address (except EIRENE addresses and FAs in the additional calling address for group communication). The mapping of calling functional aliases (PFN) is not considered a mapping of "basic" addresses and it is covered in clause 6.3.3.4.1.

6.3.3.2.1 Basic address parameters for GSM-R to FRMCS private calls
For any request detected within the IWF domain for a GSM-R to FRMCS private MCPTT call that is received from a GSM-R domain, analysis as specified in clause 6.3.3.1.1 for the Called Address shall be performed to determine if the MCPTT private call is intended to be established in a FRMCS domain. If the call is not intended to be established, the call shall be rejected by a final and non-successful SIP response. If the call is intended to be established in a FRMCS domain, the following list of steps is applicable: 1) Identity mapping on Called Address (based on indicative result as given by procedure(s) in clause 6.3.3.1.1) shall be applied as specified in Table 6.3.3.2.1-1. Table 6.3.3.2.1-1: Cases of mapping of Called Address for GSM-R to FRMCS private calls Type of Address Called Address at IWF-g1 Called Address at IWF-1 MC Service ID E.164 SIP-R URI MC Service ID (e.g. by local address lookup) FA(164) E.164 SIP-R URI FA(164) FA(EIRENE) E.164 or EIRENE SIP-R URI FA(EIRENE) FA E.164 or EIRENE SIP-R URI FA NOTE: The Type of Address for FRMCS entities is asserted by the configurable routing function as specified in clause 6.3.3.1.1, bullet 2.

6.3.3.2.2 Basic address parameters for FRMCS to GSM-R private calls
If the request for an MCPTT private call is forwarded by the IWF from an FRMCS domain to another domain, then the IWF shall apply one of the following identity mappings to the Called Address, as defined in Table 6.3.3.2.2-1, before the routing services of the IWF take any routing decision. ETSI ETSI TS 103 792 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 24 Table 6.3.3.2.2-1: Cases of mapping of Called Address and Calling Address for FRMCS to GSM-R private calls Called/Calling Address at IWF-1 Called/Calling Address at IWF-g1 MC Service ID E.164 or EIRENE SIP-R URI (e.g. by local address lookup) FA(164) see note E.164 SIP-R URI FA(EIRENE) or FA (see note) EIRENE SIP-R URI NOTE: The Called Address can contain MC Service ID, FA, FA(164) or FA(EIRENE), the Calling Address can only contain MC Service ID. If the resulting Called Address was mapped from an FA(164), from an FA(EIRENE) or from an FA, then the domain of the resulting SIP URI needs to be retrieved and then set as specified at ETSI TS 123 228 [7], clause 4.3.5. The routing decisions may result in the fact that the call request may be looped back via the IWF to a FRMCS domain, as described in clause 6.3.3.2.1, after all of the identity mappings of the FRMCS to GSM-R call request as defined in clause 6.3.3.2.2.will have been done. Also, if the request for an MCPTT private call is forwarded by the IWF from a FRMCS domain to a GSM-R domain, then the IWF shall apply the identity mapping to the Calling Address as defined in Table 6.3.3.2.2-1. The domain of the resulting SIP URI shall be set to the IMS domain. The final SIP 200 OK response to the call request can contain a Connected Address. If the final SIP 200 OK response to the call is received from another domain and if it contains a Connected Address, then the IWF shall apply one of the following identity mappings to the Connected Address, as defined in Table 6.3.3.2.2-2. Table 6.3.3.2.2-2: Cases of mapping of Connected Address for FRMCS to GSM-R private calls Connected Address at IWF-g1 Connected Address at IWF-1 E.164 SIP-R URI FA(164) EIRENE SIP-R URI FA(EIRENE) The domain of the resulting SIP URI shall be set to the IWF domain.

6.3.3.3.0 General
The IWF will receive the Text Message from the GSM-R IP-SM-GW and map it to the MCData SDS. In the reverse direction the IWF will map the MCDATA SDS to an Instant Message and send it to the GSM-R IP-SM-GW. The set of basic address parameters applicable for text messaging using MCData SDS, also applying generic address parameter naming as defined in clause 6.2 are: • Called Address. • Calling Address. The Called Address shall, following the mapping according to clause 6.3.3.3, be used by IWF routing service(s) to determine the next destination endpoint for a SIP MESSAGE.

6.3.3.3.1 Address parameters for GSM-R to FRMCS text messages
For any request detected within the IWF domain for a GSM-R to FRMCS Text Message that is received from a GSM-R domain, analysis as specified in clause 6.3.3.1.1 for the Called Address shall be performed to determine if the Instant Message is intended to be delivered to an FRMCS domain. If the text message is not intended to be delivered, it shall be rejected by a final and non-successful SIP response. ETSI ETSI TS 103 792 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 25 If the text message is intended to be delivered to an FRMCS domain, the following list of steps is applicable: 1) Identity mapping on Called Address (based on indicative result as given by procedure(s) in clause 6.3.3.1.1) shall be applied as specified in Table 6.3.3.3.1-1. Table 6.3.3.3.1-1: Cases of mapping of Called Address for GSM-R to FRMCS text message Type of Address Called Address at IWF-g5 Called Address at IWF-2 MC Service ID E.164 SIP-R URI MC Service ID (e.g. by local address lookup) FA(164) E.164 SIP-R URI FA(164) FA(EIRENE) E.164 or EIRENE SIP-R URI FA(EIRENE) FA E.164 or EIRENE SIP-R URI FA NOTE: The Type of Address for FRMCS entities is asserted by the configurable routing function. For details, refer to the definition provided in clause 6.3.3.1.1, bullet 2. FRMCS Entity. 2) If identity mapping on Called Address based on Table 6.3.3.3.1-1 results to FA(164), FA(EIRENE) or FA, the domain part of a resulting SIP URI for Called Address shall be set to a FRMCS domain. 3) The Calling Address shall be used for identity mapping as specified in Table 6.3.3.3.1-2. Table 6.3.3.3.1-2: Mapping of Calling Address for GSM-R to FRMCS text message Calling Address at IWF-g5 Calling Address at IWF-2 E.164 SIP-R URI FA(164) from Calling Address The domain part of a resulting SIP URI for Calling Address shall be set to an IWF domain.

6.3.3.3.2 Address parameters for FRMCS to GSM-R text messages
If the request for an MCDATA SDS message is forwarded by the IWF from an FRMCS domain to a GSM-R domain, then the IWF shall apply one of the following identity mappings to the Called Address, as defined in Table 6.3.3.3.2-1, before the routing services of the IWF take any routing decision. Table 6.3.3.3.2-1: Cases of mapping of Called Address and Calling Address for FRMCS to GSM-R text messages Called/Calling Address at IWF-2 Called/Calling Address at IWF-g5 MC Service ID E.164 or EIRENE SIP-R URI (e.g. by local address lookup) FA(164) E.164 SIP-R URI FA(EIRENE) or FA EIRENE SIP-R URI If the resulting Called Address was mapped from an FA(164), from an FA(EIRENE) or from an FA, then the domain of the resulting SIP URI shall be retrieved and then set as specified in ETSI TS 123 228 [7], clause 4.3.5. The routing decisions may result in the loop back of the text message to a FRMCS domain via the IWF, as described in clause 6.3.3.3.1. This occurs after completing all identity mappings between the FRMCS and the GSM-R systems. Also, if the request for an MCPTT text message is forwarded by the IWF from a FRMCS domain to GSM-R domain, then the IWF shall apply one of the identity mappings to the Calling Address, as defined in Table 6.3.3.3.2-1. The domain of the resulting SIP URI shall be set to the IMS domain.

6.3.3.4.1 Presentation of Functional Number - User To User Information
The mapping of Basic Address Parameters (see clause 6.3.3.2) covers MCPTT IDs and MCDATA IDs in the Called Address parameter and functional aliases (FRMCS FA, FA(164), FA(EIRENE)). The Calling Address is supposed to always carry MCPTT IDs or MCDATA IDs on the IWF-1 reference point (e.g. in the XML element <mcptt-calling-user-id>) and E.164 SIP-R URIs on the IWF-g1 reference point (in the P-Asserted.Identity header field). The Additional Calling Address for group communication carries an FRMCS FA or an FA(EIRENE) on the IWF-1 reference point and an equivalent CT5x EIRENE FN in a SIP-R URI on the IWF-g1 reference point. A possible calling functional alias, and its equivalent EIRENE FN will be carried in the User To User Information (PFN), which is the <functional-alias-URI> on IWF-1 and the User-to-User header field on IWF-g1. GSM-R Functional Numbers (FNs) carried in the User-to-User header field shall be interworked with FRMCS in one of the following two ways: • A GSM-R FN can be rephrased as FRMCS FA and vice versa as specified in FRMCS FRS [1] and FRMCS SRS [2]. • A GSM-R FN can be mapped to an FA(EIRENE) and vice versa. In both cases, the FRMCS identity shall be carried in the <functional-alias-URI> element of the MCPTT-INFO XML body. In the second case, GSM-R FNs can be mapped to FA(EIRENE) (but not rephrased as FRMCS FA). This shall be accomplished by just taking the FN as the user part of the resulting SIP URI. The domain of the resulting SIP URI shall be set to the IWF domain. If an FA(EIRENE) is mapped to an FN, this shall be accomplished by taking the user part of the SIP URI as an international address, which is then used in the SIP User-to-User header field. The User-to-User header field shall be forwarded transparently from the FRMCS domain to the GSM-R domain and vice versa, as the User-to-User header field can contain more information as just an FN/FA, e.g. CHPC information, GPS, etc. The mapping from GSM-R FN to FRMCS FA (or FA(EIRENE)) shall be done additionally, as described above, by adding the <functional-alias-URI> XML element. If a SIP message is forwarded from the FRMCS domain to the GSM-R domain, and if the User-to-User header field is not present, then the IWF shall perform the mapping from FRMCS FA (or FA(EIRENE)) to GSM-R FN and create a User-to-User header field that contains a GSM-R FN. NOTE: A GSM-R FN can be carried in the User-to-User header field in one of two different formats: a) with the help of a PFN tag b) as uncompressed OTDI.

6.3.3.4.2 Call Diversion - Call History Address List
The Call History Address List is transmitted as follows: • At the IWF-g1 reference point, the call history information shall be transmitted within History-Info header fields, according to ETSI TS 103 389 [6]. ETSI ETSI TS 103 792 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 27 • At the IWF-1 reference point, the call history information shall be transmitted within the <forwarding- immediate-list> and within the <forwarding-other-list>, according to ETSI TS 124 379 [10]. The address parameters in the History-Info header fields of GSM-R to FRMCS messages and the address parameters in the <forwarding-immediate-list> and in the <forwarding-other-list> of FRMCS to GSM-R messages shall be applied to the generic procedures for identity mapping according to clause 6.3.3.1. The reason for call forwarding shall be mapped between the "cause" URI parameter at the IWF-g1 reference point and the <forwarding-reason> element at the IWF-1 reference point, as defined in Tables 6.3.3.4.2-1 and 6.3.3.4.2-2.

6.3.3.5.0 General
MCPTT Group Calls are group calls that are controlled by the Controlling Function of an MCPTT Server beyond the IWF-1 reference point, as seen from the IWF. As described in clause 7, MCPTT Ad-Hoc Group calls can be coupled with GSM-R VGCS/VBS calls, where either the MCPTT Group call invites an MCPTT ID as participant that represents any called GSM-R VGCS/VBS at the IWF, or the GSM-R VGCS/VBS invites an E.164 SIP-R URI or an EIRENE SIP-R URI that represents any MCPTT Ad-Hoc group call at the IWF. During the setup of such coupled FRMCS/GSM-R group calls, the IWF maps the FRMCS Criteria (of the ad-hoc group call) into a GSM-R CT5 Functional Number or vice versa, as shown in Figure 6.3.3.5.0-1 and defined in clause 6.3.3.5.2. This mechanism is sketched in Figure 6.3.3.5.0-1. FRMCS GSM-R IWF EIRENE CT5 Criteria GCRep GCRep Figure 6.3.3.5.0-1: Coupled FRMCS/GSM-R Group Call ETSI ETSI TS 103 792 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 28 The Group Call Representation (GCRep) used at the IWF-1 reference point shall be configured as MCPTT ID of a participant of the ad-hoc group call at the MC Service Server and at the IWF. The Group Call Representation (GCRep) used at the IWF-g1 reference point shall be configured either as an international E.164 address or as an international EIRENE number, corresponding to the originating or terminating dispatcher at both the GCR and at the IWF. The term FRMCS to GSM-R group call is used in clause 6.3.3.5 to describe the SIP dialog that is established by an MCPTT group call, when the group call invites a GSM-R VGCS/VBS call via the IWF. The term GSM-R to FRMCS group call is used in clause 6.3.3.5 to describe the SIP dialog that is established by a GSM-R VGCS/VBS call via the IWF, in order to create an MCPTT group call.

6.3.3.5.2 Mapping of FRMCS criteria and EIRENE CT5 FN
The MCPTT call control protocol, defined in ETSI TS 124 379 [10] specifies the criteria for determining the participants, that an MCPTT UE shall send when initiating an ad-hoc group call. These criteria are transmitted in the <call-participants-criterias> element in the <anyExt> element of the <mcptt- Params> element of the <mcpttinfo> element of the application/vnd.3gpp.mcpttinfo+xml MIME body in the SIP INVITE request. The content of these criteria is just a string with comma separated parameters, where the parameters are defined in the FRMCS FIS [3] specification. The specification in the FRMCS FIS [3] considers that the criteria will be mapped to and from an EIRENE CT5 Functional Number at the IWF, as follows: • An EIRENE CT5 international number is specified as IC + CT + LLLLL + GID, where: - IC International Code (3 digits). - CT Calltype (2 digits). - LLLLL Group Call Area (5 digits). - GID Group ID (3 digits). ETSI ETSI TS 103 792 V1.1.1 (2026-01) 29 • FRMCS FIS specifies the following criteria relevant for the mapping to and from an EIRENE CT5 FN: - FRMCS_CallType (string). - FRMCS_ListOfAdressedArea (string). The mapping identified in Table 6.3.3.5.2-1 shall apply for the setup of coupled FRMCS/GSM-R group calls.
