== GPRS Subscriber Update Protocol

=== General

This chapter describes the remote protocol that is used by the SGSN to update
and manage the local subscriber list.  Functionally, it resembles the
interface between the SGSN on the one hand side, and HLR/AUC on the
other side.

For more information, see the specification of the Gr interface (3GPP TS 03.60).

Traditionally, the GSM MAP (Mobile Application Part) protocol is used
for this purpose, running on top of a full telecom signalling protocol
stck of MTP2/MTP3/SCCP/TCAP, or any of the SIGTRAN alternatvives.

In order to avoid many of the complexities of MAP, which are difficult
to implement in the plain C language evnironment of the Osmocom
cellular network elements like the SGSN, we introduce the GSUP
protocol.

The GSUP protocol and the messages are designed after the
corresponding MAP messages (see 3GPP TS 09.02) with the following
main differences:

* The encoding uses TLV structures instead of ASN.1 BER
* Segmentation is not used, i.e. we rely on the fact that the
  underlying transport protocol can transport signalling messages of
  any size.

=== Connection

The protocol expects that a reliable, ordered, packet boundaries preserving
connection is used (e.g. IPA over TCP). The remote peer is either a service
that understands the protocol natively or a wrapper service that maps the
messages to/from real MAP messages that can be used to directly communicate
with an HLR.

=== Using IPA

By default, the following identifiers should be used:

* IPA Stream ID: 0xEE (OSMO)
* IPA OSMO protocol extension: 0x05

For more information about the IPA multiplex, please see the 'OsmoBTS
Abis/IP Specification'.

=== Procedures

==== Authentication management

The SGSN sends a SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO_REQ message containing the MS's IMSI
to the peer.  On errors, especially if authentication info is not available for
that IMSI, the peer returns a SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO_ERR message.  Otherwise
the peer returns a SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO_RES message. If this message
contains at least one authentication tuple, the SGSN replaces all tuples that
are assigned to the subscriber. If the message doesn't contain any tuple the
SGSN may reject the Attach Request. (see 3GPP TS 09.02, 25.5.6)

.Send Authentication Info (Normal Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
  hscale="1.5";
  SGSN [label="SGSN"], Peer [label="Network Peer (HLR)"];

  SGSN -> Peer [label="SEND AUTHENTICATION INFO REQUEST (IMSI)"];
  Peer -> SGSN [label="SEND AUTHENTICATION INFO RESPONSE (Tuples)"];
}
----

.Send Authentication Info (Erroneous Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
  hscale="1.5";
  SGSN [label="SGSN"], Peer [label="Network Peer (HLR)"];

  SGSN -> Peer [label="SEND AUTHENTICATION INFO REQUEST (IMSI)"];
  Peer -> SGSN [label="SEND AUTHENTICATION INFO ERROR (Cause)"];
}
----

==== Reporting of Authentication Failure

Using this procedure, the SGSN reports authentication failures to the
HLR.

.Authentication Failure Report (Normal Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
  hscale="1.5";
  SGSN [label="SGSN"], Peer [label="Network Peer (HLR)"];

  SGSN -> Peer [label="AUTHENTICATION FAILURE REPORT (IMSI)"];
}
----

==== Location Updating

The SGSN sends a UPDATE_LOCATION_REQ to the peer. If the request is denied by
the network, the peer returns an UPDATE_LOCATION_ERR message to the SGSN.
Otherwise the peer returns an UPDATE_LOCATION_RES message containing all
information fields that shall be inserted into the subscriber record. If
the 'PDP info complete' information element is set in the message, the SGSN
clears existing PDP information fields in the subscriber record first.
(see 3GPP TS 09.02, 19.1.1.8)

.Update Location (Normal Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
  hscale="1.5";
  SGSN [label="SGSN"], Peer [label="Network Peer (HLR)"];

  SGSN -> Peer [label="UPDATE LOCATION REQUEST (IMSI)"];
  Peer -> SGSN [label="INSERT SUBSCRIBER DATA"];
  SGSN -> Peer [label="INSERT SUBSCRIBER DATA ACK"];
  Peer -> SGSN [label="UPDATE LOCATTION RESULT"];
}
----

.Update Location (Error Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
  hscale="1.5";
  SGSN [label="SGSN"], Peer [label="Network Peer (HLR)"];

  SGSN -> Peer [label="UPDATE LOCATION REQUEST (IMSI)"];
  Peer -> SGSN [label="UPDATE LOCATTION ERROR (Cause)"];
}
----

==== Location Cancellation

Using the Location Cancellation procedure, the Network Peer (HLR) can
request the SGSN to remove a subscriber record.

.Cancel Location (Normal Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
  hscale="1.5";
  SGSN [label="SGSN"], Peer [label="Network Peer (HLR)"];

  Peer -> SGSN [label="CANCEL LOCATION REQUEST (IMSI)"];
  SGSN -> Peer [label="CANCEL LOCATION RESULT"];
}
----

.Cancel Location (Error Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
  hscale="1.5";
  SGSN [label="SGSN"], Peer [label="Network Peer (HLR)"];

  Peer -> SGSN [label="CANCEL LOCATION REQUEST (IMSI)"];
  SGSN -> Peer [label="CANCEL LOCATION ERROR (Cause)"];
}
----

==== Purge MS

Using the Purge MS procedure, the SGSN can request purging of MS
related state from a previous SGSN during an inter-SGSN location
update.

.Purge MS (Normal Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
  hscale="1.5";
  SGSN [label="SGSN"], Peer [label="Network Peer (HLR)"];

  SGSN -> Peer [label="PURGE MS REQUEST (IMSI)"];
  Peer -> SGSN [label="PURGE MS RESULT"];
}
----

==== Delete Subscriber Data

Using the Delete Subscriber Data procedure, the Peer (HLR) can remove
some of the subscriber data from the SGSN.  This is used in case the
subscription details (e.g. PDP Contexts / APNs) change while the
subscriber is registred to that SGSN.

.Delete Subscriber Data (Normal Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
  hscale="1.5";
  SGSN [label="SGSN"], Peer [label="Network Peer (HLR)"];

  Peer -> SGSN [label="DELETE SUBSCRIBER DATA REQUEST (IMSI)"];
  SGSN -> Peer [label="DELETE SUBSCRIBER DATA RESULT"];
}
----

=== Message Format

==== General

Every message is based on the following message format

[options="header",cols="5%,20%,45%,10%,10%,10%"]
|===
|IEI|IE|Type|Presence|Format|Length
|  |Message Type|<<gsup-ie-msgtype>>|M|V|1
|01|IMSI|<<gsup-ie-imsi>>|M|TLV|2-10
|===

If a numeric range is indicated in the 'presence' column, multiple information
elements with the same tag may be used in sequence. The information elements
shall be sent in the given order. Nevertheless after the generic part the
receiver shall be able to received them in any order. Unknown IE shall be
ignored.

==== Send Authentication Info Request

Direction: SGSN -> Network peer

(via UE) requests an UMTS AKA re-synchronization procedure.  Eiter
both optional IEs are present, or none of them.

The spare bits are left undefined. While 09.60 defines them as '1 1 1 1', there
are MAP traces where these bits are set to '0 0 0 0'. So the receiver shall
ignore these bits.

* IPv4: PDP type org: 1 (IETF), PDP type number: 0x21

is 3 (three) octets it is assumed that these are octets 3-5 of the TS
3GPP TS 24.008 Quality of Service Octets. If it is more than three then
then it is assumed that the first octet is the Allocation/Retention
Priority and the reset are encoded as octets 3-N of 24.008.
