S2
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.862/23862-c00.zip
This Technical Report describes solutions for interworking between mobile operators and data application providers. The solutions developed will describe a framework for authentication, authorization, policy and charging for various interworking scenarios. Solutions developed as part of this work item will cover the following different relationships between mobile operators and data application providers for both roaming and non-roaming cases when - mobile operator owns all the application layer entities; - mobile operator does not own all the application layer entities. The technical report will investigate charging, policy and group addressing capabilities for interworking between mobile operators and data application providers. Updates to 3GPP functions and interfaces will be specified for solutions based on IMS and/or EPC. On-going work for authentication and other aspects in other 3GPP work items will not be duplicated. It will be investigated whether changes to 3GPP specifications are needed and if so which ones. The work item will focus on impacts to IMS and EPC.

TR
12.0.0
S2
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.863/23863-c00.zip
This Technical Report is to specify architecture enhancement toward SMS submit/delivery mechanism in IMS to allow IMS registered UE to: - Receive and send SMS without requiring an MSISDN associated as part of their IMS subscription record in HSS and - any possible enhancements towards the related storing and forwarding mechanism if the UE is out of reach. There are three potential aspects for these IMS UEs without MSISDN that need to be investigated: 1) Server - IMS UE communication via SMS (e.g. for M2M). 2) IMS UE to IMS UE communication via SMS for person to person communications. Both UEs do not have MSISDN. 3) SMS Interworking between IMS UE without MSISDN and traditional UE (e.g. CS) with MSISDN. Normative specification work (if needed or feasible) for each of these areas can be started independently.

Study on Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) network selection for 3GPP terminals; Stage 2
TR
12.1.0
S2
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.865/23865-c10.zip
This Technical Report describes enhancements to solutions for WLAN network selection. The solutions are based on architectures as specified in TS 23.402 [9] and will take into account Hotspot 2.0 specifications developed by the WFA. 3GPP operator's policies for WLAN network selection will be provisioned on 3GPP terminals via pre-configuration or using the ANDSF server for their delivery. The scope of the technical report will be as follows: 1. Evaluate existing 3GPP WLAN PLMN and access network selection procedures for 3GPP terminals which use Hotspot 2.0 procedures and provisioned network operator policy (e.g. mechanisms based on WLAN and ANDSF) for any needed changes to current specifications. This may require enhancements to the ANDSF framework. The established 3GPP PLMN network selection (according to TS 23.122) shall not be impacted. The work must ensure there are no conflicts between existing 3GPP PLMN network selection and the 3GPP WLAN PLMN access network selection procedures defined by this WID. 2. Ensure that the content in the Management Object related to 3GPP operator policy provisioning for WLAN network selection procedures and the operator policy provisioning in WFA MO for WLAN network selection are consistent. 3. Identify solutions to resolve potential conflicts between policies provided by non-3GPP providers via Hotspot 2.0 mechanisms and policies provided by 3GPP operators using ANDSF. This work applies to non-seamless WLAN offload as well as to trusted and untrusted WLAN access to EPC with/without seamless offload. It will be investigated whether changes to 3GPP specifications are needed and if so which ones.

TR
12.0.0
S2
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.890/23890-c00.zip
This technical report describes key issues and solutions for optimized offloading of traffic to WLAN access when PS mobility between 3GPP RAT takes place. The technical report analyzes the user and service impact due to mobility between 3GPP RATs. The technical report analyzes the key issues and solutions in order to identify whether current mechanisms documented in SA2 specifications are sufficient, identify potential inefficiencies, and identify whether additional solutions are needed to address the key issues. The technical report also describes proposed extensions to ANDSF in order to enable policy differentiation for 3GPP RATs (e.g. E-UTRAN versus UTRAN, GERAN versus UTRAN) with respect to WLAN, in order to enable a UE to distinguish preferences of WLAN with respect to specific 3GPP RATs upon acquiring connectivity (e.g. PDN creation in a 3GPP RAT or WLAN, or establishing NSWO connectivity) or upon mobility.

Feasibility study on IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) business trunking for Internet Protocol Private Branch Exchange (IP-PBX) in Static Mode of Operation
TR
12.0.0
S2
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.897/23897-c00.zip
During the production of the 3GPP Release 7 specifications it was recognized that the IP Multimedia Subsystem was suitable for serving both mobile and fixed installations and a number of specifications developed by ETSI TISPAN were therefore embedded in the 3GPP specifications to form the Common IMS. Among other aspects, Common IMS requires that the IMS is able to connect with Next Generation Corporate Networks (NGCN), also known as IP-PBXs (see ETSI TS 181 019 [3]). Managing the connection to IP-PBXs which do not use registration procedures when connecting to the IMS and operate in a static mode that is to enable the IMS to receive and send traffic to an IP-PBX, is realized by means of configuration within the network. The static mode of operation can be used in 2 scenarios, peering based business trunking and subscription based business trunking. The static mode of operation for both of the above mentioned scenarios can be studied in this TR. It was however observed that the number of implementations of IP-PBXs that are operated in a static mode (e.g. based on the SIPConnect specifications recently released by the SIP Forum) increases. The purpose of this study is to enable the IMS to manage connections to a large number of IP-PBXs that are operated in a static mode, with minimized configuration in the network.

TS
12.2.0
C1
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/24_series/24.234/24234-c20.zip
The present document specifies the network selection, including authentication and access authorization using authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) procedures used for the interworking of the 3GPP system and WLANs. In addition to these, the present document also specifies the tunnel management procedures used for establishing an end-to-end tunnel from the WLAN UE to the 3GPP network via the Wu reference point. The present document is applicable to the WLAN user equipment (UE) and the network. In this technical specification the network includes the WLAN and 3GPP network. Tunnel management signalling is carried between WLAN-UE and WLAN by WLAN access technology specific protocols, however this signalling is transparent to the WLAN. Tunnel management procedures are defined to be independent of the underlying WLAN access technology and as such can be reused independently of the underlying technology. The present document specifies procedures within I-WLAN necessary in order for IMS emergency calls to be supported when I-WLAN is used as the underlying access network. These involve both network selection as well as tunnel management procedures. WLAN Network Selection supersedes I-WLAN for UE WLAN selection as specified in 3GPP TS 24.302 [28] from Rel-12 onwards. No further changes to this specification are intended. If any future evolution of the procedures in this specification is necessary, it should be documented in other specifications.

The present document is the result of the Multi-SDO JWG on Model Alignment which 3GPP TSG SA WG5 (SA5) has developed jointly with TMF and NGMN, and which does not fully follow the 3GPP templates and drafting rules. Therefore 3GPP SA5 has desired to keep the present document as similar as possible to the original, for comparison with the corresponding TMF version. Thus 3GPP SA5 has done only the strictly necessary changes from the 3GPP drafting rules perspective in order to publish the present document as a 3GPP Technical Report. As a result of the analysis of the requirements for the harmonization of the 3GPP and TM Forum Information Models in the context of FMC basic use cases were developed 3GPP TR 32.833 [1], TM Forum TR 166 [2]. These use cases led to the recognition that it would be necessary to define common operation model elements applicable for wire-line and wireless networks. The present document defines these common model elements. To be noted: - The Umbrella Operation Model (UOM) described in the present document provides the set of interfaces/operations etc. that have been agreed for convergence to strengthen consistency of representation and semantics of network management operations in the fixed and mobile environments. - The UOM is necessary but not sufficient for implementation. - The UOM cannot be used directly for implementation. Implementation classes must be derived from those in the UOM by Inheritance or some other appropriate mechanism. - Classes derived from those in the UOM (e.g. for the fixed environment) may use different names from those used in the UOM.

This work is based on the results of the feasibility study on Core Network Overload available in 3GPP TR 23.843 [3] and the related work done in the IETF Diameter Maintenance and Extensions (DiME) working group. This study will cover: - Identification of the set of requirements for an improved overload control mechanism over Diameter based signaling interfaces used in 3GPP core networks. - Identification, evaluation and selection of candidate solutions for overload control mechanisms, including: - Mechanisms to detect overload situations e.g. notification of Diameter end-point signaling load; - Mechanisms to exchange overload control policies between Diameter end-points; - Details on the expected behaviour of 3GPP core network nodes supporting the defined overload control mechanism (Diameter end-points and Diameter agent); - Evaluation of the impacts of the proposed solution(s) on existing Diameter-based Technical Specifications and Diameter based signalling networks (internal operator networks, inter-operator network (e.g. IPX). - Recommendations on the solutions to select depending of the applicability context (interfaces, application, network, etc.) The results of this study will contribute to the work done within the IETF DiME working group on Diameter overload control, through official liaison statement from 3GPP or company-driven individual contributions, which includes: - Provide feedback from 3GPP on the requirements for Diameter overload control mechanisms defined in IETF Draft draft-ietf-dime-overload-reqs-06 [4]); - Contribute to the specification of the IETF standard mechanism for overload control over Diameter. The results of this study will be used to identify the changes required in the 3GPP specifications to support overload control mechanisms over Diameter-based 3GPP interfaces and applications.

The objective of this study item is to provide reference material for IMS based non-UICC based Single Sign On (SSO) to applications. This study item targets to re-use the SIP Digest Credentials for SSO to applications by re-using Common IMS and existing security elements. The study should describe needed extension to enable a re-use of SIP Digest credentials in Common IMS for providing security between a terminal and an application server. The study aims to maximise the commonalities of the SSO_APS with the currently defined application security approaches in 3GPP while efficiently satisfying the needs of Common IMS deployments using SIP Digest. The Technical Report targets to bring forth approaches with a security level for access to applications using SSO_APS that is at least as good as that provided by SIP Digest for Common IMS. This Technical Report is intended to be used where the usage of UICC is not possible in a UICC-less environment. If the usage of UICC is possible, then it is expected to used, but that is outside the scope of the present study. The scope of this Technical Report (Study Item Code SSO_APS) is restricted to environments where the storage of credentials on a UICC is not mandated.

The present document studies methodologies for specifying network product security assurance and hardening requirements, with associated test cases when feasible, of 3GPP network products. Network product security assurance and hardening refers to protection against unwanted access to a 3GPP network product, its Operating System, and main running Application(s). The suitability of industry standard methodologies and the potential need for collaboration with bodies such as GSMA, CCRA, ISO and ITU will be assessed. The study will also consider regulatory aspects and the potential need for security certification. The suitability of the candidate methodologies will be assessed with reference to real world examples. Part of the scope of this work is to conclude which 3GPP network products, if not all, would be subject to 3GPP network product security assurance and hardening requirements. There is likely to be a long list with the result that prioritisation will be required. LTE network product classes will be the first priority. The work will also study exactly what should constitute a 3GPP network product in the context of this study e.g. whether it should be an individual 3GPP functional entity, a group of 3GPP functional entities or some other realisation. The study will also include assessing the extent to which individual 3GPP network products need to be hardened beyond a common baseline and should take into consideration network vs. environment.

This work in this Technical Report has the following scope: - Study the potential threats for different GBA credentials use scenarios via a web browser. These new use scenarios (e.g. using HTML forms, using Javascript, using widgets) are not covered by current specifications. The scope of this Technical Report will cover the following: - Study, identify and specify any protection mechanism that maybe additionally required for the GBA credentials; - Study, identify and potentially specify usage control for GBA credentials; - Study, identify and potentially specify access control mechanism for GBA module; - Study, identify and potentially specify the usage of web based GBA as an extension on the current protocol mechanisms used on Ua reference point (e.g. new Ua protocol identifier); - Identify and outline how GBA can be used with HTML Forms and Javascript securely (e.g. describing GBA - web specific common practices and examples). This Technical Report will collect the potential specification improvements, which are then at a later stage of work transferred to the appropriate Technical Specifications. The potential improvements for access control to GBA credentials and potential Ua protocol impacts will then be documented in TS 33.220 [2]. The threat analysis, common security implementation practices and examples may build a new chapter 5 in TS 33.222 [3]. Relation to GBA variants defined in other documents: Web based GBA aims at defining web enhancements for the use of HTML forms with GBA. It is a new variant for the Ua interface and does not affect the Ub interface, as opposed to the GBA variants defined in TS 33.220. Web based GBA is orthogonal to these other GBA variants and can be used with any of them.

Study on security on spoofed call detection and prevention (Stage 2)
TR
12.0.0
S3
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/33_series/33.831/33831-c00.zip
The present document studies the means to identify calls with spoofed Calling Line Identification terminating in the CS domain where the call could have originated from either inside or outside the CS domain. Calling Line Identification (CLI or CLID), also called Caller Identification (CID), evaluates and transmits a caller's number while Calling Line Identity Presentation (CLIP) enables displaying the caller's number during call setup or ringing. Usual applications for CLIP are: to display the original number of the caller; to display a caller's presentation number, e.g. a doctor calling a patient out of hours who doesn't want to disclose his private number but showing instead the number of his office; to display a number unrelated to the calling line, e.g. call centers displaying numbers related to their customers (depending on national regulations). But CLI can also be misused to display a misleading number in the display that is in no way related to the originator of the call. This behaviour is called CLI spoofing or spoofed call. CLI spoofing ranges from harmless hoax to criminal activities like for example Voice Phishing (vishing) by displaying the forged number of a bank in order to steal the callee's credentials. And although CLI may be unreliable, people use it to decide whether to accept a call or not. This study item studies the detection of a spoofed call as the first step, and prevention as a second step if detection is achievable. In particular, the goals of this document are: • Outline valid threat scenarios for spoofed calls coming to 2G and 3G CS domains; • Analyze and evaluate if any tools in 3GPP can be used to counteract spoofed call detection and prevention; • Study and identify any other suitable techniques or mechanisms for spoofed call detection and prevention. NOTE: When the "potential requirements" and "potential solutions" from the present document might be introduced into normative documents (Technical Specifications - TSs), the word "should" needs to be changed into "shall" (with bold characters).

https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/33_series/33.869/33869-070.zip
The present document studies security features and mechanisms for protection against false Base Stations broadcasting false Warning Notifications. The default terminal behaviour is to accept all Warning Notifications even if their authenticity is unknown (i.e. no security protection). The default terminal behaviour is therefore open to the presentation of false Warning Notifications issued by false BSs even in countries without a Public Warning System (PWS) deployed. Examples of false BS risks include, but are not limited to: • False Warning Notifications to induce panic; • Abuse of warning system broadcast channel to send advertising / spam. These security features and mechanisms are optional since there are regions and countries that do not require this functionality.

The present document studies the security aspects of the Group Communication Service Enabler for LTE (GCSE_LTE) and gives an evaluation of possible technical security solutions supporting such an Enabler. The present document looks at security from system perspective and defines functional security requirements for all entities. Stage 1 requirements for these services are defined in 3GPP TS 22.468 [2]. Different possible Stage 2 solutions for GCSE have been studied in 3GPP TR 23.768 [3]. 3GPP TS 23.468 [8] provides the stage 2 description for the 3GPP system provided enablers to support GC services using E-UTRAN in Rel-12. Based on the work done in 3GPP TS 22.468 [2], 3GPP TR 23.768 [3], and 3GPP TS 23.468 [8] the objectives of the present document are to identify the threats and deduce security requirements, develop GCSE_LTE security solutions, and determine which solution(s) from the present document (Study/TR phase) should be converted into normative specifications for Rel-12. NOTE: The present document collects requirements that are not normative.

https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/34_series/34.114/34114-c20.zip
The present document describes the test procedure for the radiated performances measurements of the 3G/2G user equipment/mobile stations (UE/MS) in active mode in both the uplink and the downlink. The FDD UE test procedure is based on the test method developed as a result of COST 273 Sub-Working Group (SWG) 2.2 members’ contributions. Background work has also been made in the former COST259 project. The TDD UE test procedure is based on the test method developed as a result of CCSA TC9 WG1 members’ contributions. Background work has been made in the former CCSA TC9 project. The measurement procedure explained in this document applies to UE/MS used under the “speech mode” conditions that correspond to predefined positions for voice application when the handset is held close to the user’s head. This method is also applicable to free space measurements for UE/MS devices. The data transfer position (free space) explained in this document applies when the UE is used away from the user’s head. For LME and LEE devices free space configuration without head and hand phantoms is applicable. Free space measurements are applicable to devices used in the data transfer position that consist of the laptop mounted equipment (LME) plug-in UEs and laptop embedded equipment (LEE) UEs. The tests apply to UEs and laptops using single or multiple receive antennas. For GSM technology this is applicable to all MSs and for 3G technology this is applicable to “one antenna” UEs and “RxDiversity” UEs. The testing methodology applies to any single or multi-mode (GSM / UMTS / TD-SCDMA) terminals. The radio tests considered here are: 1. The measurement of the Total Radiated Power (TRP) 2. The measurement of the Total Radiated Sensitivity (TRS) The test procedure described in this document measures the performance of the transmitter and the receiver, including the antenna and also the effects of the user. The major parts of this test procedure are based on the 3-D pattern measurement method. It has been considered necessary to define some items and components in the test procedure in detail, such as test channels and phantom set-ups, in order to make the testing in different laboratories harmonized. The procedure is, however, not limited to some specific antenna chambers or positioners.

The objective of this study [20] is to evaluate the use of measurements for positioning, which are currently specified for UE and eNodeB for other purposes but are not currently included in LPP and LPPa, for an RF pattern matching positioning technology in LTE. The RFPM performance with these measurements will be compared to the RFPM performance based on the measurements currently specified for the E-CID location method. The implementation could be an E-SMLC based eNodeB-assisted location service using existing E-UTRAN measurements which are provided to the E-SMLC via the LPPa positioning protocol and UE-assisted location service using existing UE measurements (RSRP, RSRQ and UE Rx-Tx time difference only) which are provided to the E-SMLC via LPP positioning protocol. The present document is intended to complement already 3GPP standardized location methods and existing 3GPP location work items.

The present document contains the result of the Device to Device (D2D) study item. The Feasibility Study on Proximity-based Services (FS_ProSe, TR 22.803 [2]) has identified services that could be provided by the 3GPP system based on UEs being in proximity to each other. The identified areas include services related to commercial services and Public Safety that would be of interest to operators and users. The objectives of this feasibility study are to evaluate LTE Device to Device proximity services, as follows: Within network coverage Outside network coverage Discovery Non public safety & public safety requirements Public safety only Direct Communication At least public safety requirements Public safety only In particular: 1. Define an evaluation methodology and channel models for LTE device to device proximity services, including scenarios to compare different technical options to realize proximal device discovery and communication, appropriate performance metrics, and performance targets (e.g. range, throughput, number of UEs supported). [RAN1] 2. Identify physical layer options and enhancements to incorporate in LTE the ability for devices within network coverage: [RAN1]: - to discover each other in proximity directly in a power-efficient manner. - to communicate directly, including enhancements to LTE interference management and scheduling that allow the LTE network to enable, manage, and continuously control all direct, over the air, device to device communications. 3. Identify and evaluate options, solutions and enhancements to the LTE RAN protocols within network coverage [RAN2 primary, RAN3 secondary]: - to enable proximal device discovery among devices under continuous network management and control, - to enable direct communication connection establishment between devices under continuous network management and control, - to allow service continuity to/from the macro network 4. Consider terminal and spectrum specific aspects, e.g. battery impact and requirements deriving from direct device to device discovery and communication [RAN4]. 5. Evaluate, for non public safety use cases, the gains obtained by LTE device to device direct discovery with respect to existing device to device mechanisms (e.g. WiFi Direct, Bluetooth), and existing location techniques for proximal device discovery (e.g. in terms of power consumption, and signaling overhead) [RAN1, RAN2]. 6. The possible impacts on existing operator services (e.g. voice calls) and operator resources should be investigated [RAN1]. 7. For the purposes of addressing public safety requirements, identify and study the additional enhancements and control mechanisms required to realize discovery and communication outside network coverage [RAN1, RAN2]. The identified options/enhancements should reuse the features of LTE as much as possible. The study will cover: - Single and multi-operator scenarios, including the spectrum sharing case where a carrier is shared by multiple operators (subject to regional regulation and operator policy) - LTE FDD and LTE TDD operations In this study item, the study of direct communication shall address at least public safety requirements and use cases.. It is assumed that aspects related to service authorization, system level architecture, security, and lawful interception are covered in the 3GPP TSG SA Working Groups.

Previously the deployment of the 3GPP LTE technology in the bands 2305 to 2315 MHz and 2350 to 2360 MHz (known as the Wireless Communications Service band, or ‘WCS' in the United States), could not be accommodated due to technical and operational constraints present in FCC regulations. This is commonly known as Block A (2305 - 2315/2350 - 2355 MHz) and Block B (2310 - 2315/2355 - 2360 MHz) in the WCS Band. The FCC on October 17, 201 amended and confirmed the technical and operational characteristics for WCS which enable the deployment of LTE FDD technology in Blocks A & B in the frequency band covering 2305 - 2315 MHz and 2350 - 2360 MHz.

The objectives of this Study Items are: ● Identify the partial traffic loading levels and other realistic system level parameters (e.g. traffic and interference models including interference level, time offset between cells and frequency offset between cells) and performance metrics for studying the feasibility of CRS IM in a synchronized homogenous network assuming: - 3GPP Case 1 as a starting point - non-colliding CRS between serving and dominant aggressor/interfering cells and - non-colliding CRS between dominant aggressor/interfering cells - The homogeneous deployment and relevant system parameters should reuse as much as possible those defined in the Rel-11 performance study of MMSE-IRC ● Identify the baseline receiver which can be used for evaluating the gain of CRS IM in a synchronized homogenous network considering: - Reuse of CRS IM receiver assumed for Release 11 FeICIC. - Reuse of MMSE-IRC receiver as the baseline receiver. MMSE-IRC does not differentiate CRS or data interference when suppressing them and was assumed for Release 11 work item on interference rejection combining. ● Agree on interference levels, interference models and simulation parameters for link level evaluations. ● Evaluate the system level and link level gains of CRS IM with respect to the baseline MMSE-IRC receiver in a synchronized homogenous network deployment under the various loading levels identified. - Gains of CRS IM from 1 and 2 aggressor cells CRS shall be evaluated and compared. - Modeling of realistic CRS IM receiver for system level performance evaluation should be clarified and agreed if possible ● Investigate UE complexity tradeoffs e.g. tradeoff between number of interferers to cancel and the number of transmit antenna ports. ● The introduction of CRS IM based receiver requirements for homogenous deployments will only use the existing Release 11 signaling of CRS assistance information. Note 1: Interference from neighboring cells’ PDSCH is not the focus of this study item. Any interference from data, which varies according to the traffic loading level, is assumed to be suppressed in the same way as in Rel-11 with the baseline MMSE-IRC receivers. Note 2: Non-colliding CRS is prioritized and will be studied first while colliding CRS is not precluded. But the study will focus only on UE demodulation aspects.

Study on provision of low-cost Machine-Type Communications (MTC) User Equipments (UEs) based on LTE
TR

https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/36_series/36.888/36888-c00.zip
As LTE deployments evolve, operators would like to reduce the cost of overall network maintenance by minimising the number of RATs. Machine-Type Communications (MTC) is a market that is likely to continue expanding in the future. Many MTC UE's are targeting low-end (low average revenue per user, low data rate) applications that can be handled adequately by GSM/GPRS. Owing to the low-cost of these devices and good coverage of GSM/GPRS, there is very little motivation for MTC UE suppliers to use modules supporting the LTE radio interface. As more and more MTC UE's are deployed in the field, this naturally increases the reliance on GSM/GPRS networks. This will cost operators not only in terms of maintaining multiple RATs, but it will also prevent operators from reaping the maximum benefit out of their spectrum (given the non-optimal spectrum efficiency of GSM/GPRS). Given the likely high number of MTC UE's, the overall resource they will need for service provision may be correspondingly significant, and inefficiently assigned. Therefore, it is necessary to find a solution to ensure that there is a clear business benefit to MTC UE vendors and operators for migrating low-end MTC UE's from GSM/GPRS to LTE networks.
