4.2.4 Overload Characteristics of GPS Receivers in Proximity to LTE Band 24 eNBs
In response to 3GPP RAN4 request for LightSquared to perform a study on the overload impact of LTE Band 24 on GPS receivers involved in cellular applications [21, 22], LightSquared has performed Field and Lab Tests for six (6) CellPhones/SmartPhones, as well as fixed GPS timing unites, used in network infrastructure, to determine the impact of LTE Band 24 eNB transmission to their overload Characteristics. The details of field and lab test configuration and test results are captured in [23], and [24]. A summary of the contents of [23] and [24] are provided in Section 4.2.4.1 Although results were provided for a limited number of devices (6), the study was concluded at this point considering that, in the meantime, a more comprehensive study, covering a wider variety of GPS receivers than those involved in cellular applications, was initiated under the auspices of the FCC [2]. The latter study will be conducted by a cross-industry group led by LightSquared and USGPSIC, the reports of the study having complete public visibility. 4.2.4.1 Summary of Study Results In [23], a field trial was undertaken to test the operational behaviour of cell-phones equipped with GPS receivers in an open parking lot with some tree shadowing. The criterion of GPS service failure was defined to be the point where either the number of satellites tracked simultaneously fell below 4, or a positioning application on the device declared that it was switching from using GPS to cellular triangulation. The test results are summarized in Table 4.2.4-1. Table 4.2.4-1 Per Carrier LTE Power Thresholds for GPS Receivers Cell Phone GPS Test Results (Interferer Threshold Level at which device switches to AGPS) One 5MHz carrier @ 1552.5MHz One 10MHz carrier @ 1550.5MHz Two 10MHz carriers @ 1550.5MHz & 1531MHz Device 1 -15dBm -16dBm -17dBm Device 2 -29dBm -32dBm -34dBm Device 3 >-10dBm >-10dBm >-10dBm Under the assumption and test set up described in [23], and LightSquared’s deployment plans regarding spectrum occupancy and base station EIRP, it was concluded (based on the particular analytical/geometric link calculation methods used and described in [23]) that, for one (1) out of the three (3) phones tested, the maximum exclusion zone (where GPS service would be affected as defined above) would be approximately 20m around the base of the tower. For two (2) phones, there were no exclusion zones at all. Interpreting the outdoor test results with a cellular planning tool, incorporating market specific morphologies, suggested that (for the one affected phone) the exclusion zone would be 1.1 – 2.5 % of the coverage area. In addition to the work on mobile GPS receivers, [23] includes the work done by LightSquared over the past several years to analyze the overload effect of L-band base stations antennas on proximate timing unit GPS antennas. A GPS antenna pre-selector, sufficient to allow deployments as close as 3m, was specified by Lightsquared and developed by more than one GPS timing unit vendor. This antenna utilizes receive filters which produce a signal attenuation of 65 dB at 1575.42 MHz ±50 MHz. In [24], lab results are provided for three additional smartPhone GPS receivers. The key performance indicators (KPI’s) used in this experiment were Position Error and SNR (as reported by the GPS processor). The results show that the Position Error was found to have a very sharp threshold, which often occurred at relatively high values of SNR degradation (in some cases around 10 dB) relative to the case of zero OOB LTE power. The GPS Rx Signal level used in the experiment was assumed to between -125dBm and -130dBm. The lab test setup is depicted in [24]. Eight (8) satellites were emulated for desired signal levels of -125 dBm and -130 dBm. In a given test, all emulated satellites had the same desired signal level. It is noteworthy, that these devices were tested in standalone GPS mode with no A-GPS assistance. In the real world, the mobile device may benefit from increased sensitivity offered by the mobile assistance data. The results are captured in Table 4.2.4-24.2.4-2, 4.2.4-3, 4.2.4-4, 4.2.4-5, 4.2.4-6, and 4.2.4-7 for 3 devices under test. The average values were taken over 75 samples.

This approach aligns the Band 24 band with other frequency bands when considering features that have to be supported in different releases. UEs that conform to Release 8 and support Band 24 shall support the following requirements in Release 10. Release 8 UEs shall comply with the Release 10 RF requirements for Band 24 specified in 3GPP TS 36.101 [7] as indicated in Table 5.1.5-1. These new requirements should be added as a new section of 3GPP TS 36.307 [13].

5.2.3 Spurious Emissions
Spurious emissions are emissions which are caused by unwanted transmitter effects such as harmonics emission, parasitic emissions, inter-modulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out of band emissions. In section 4.2.3 of the TR [2], LightSquared previously noted that the FCC requirements for L-Band to protect the GPS band were measured in terms of EIRP. However, owing to the proximity of Band 24 to the GPS band, RAN-4 requested that some assurance be provided in 3GPP TS 36.101 [7] that it would be feasible to meet the spurious emission requirements mandated by the FCC to protect GPS receivers. Therefore, 3GPP TS 36.101 [7] has been modified for Band 24 to meet the FCC requirements as conducted power requirements, assuming a UE 0 dBi antenna gain. In terms of bands with harmonic issues relative to Band 24, it is known that 3GPP Band 13 has second order harmonics that fall into the downlink (1525 to 1559 MHz) of Band 24. Along with the addition of Band 24, an exception for Band 13 has been added to Table 5.2.3-1 (Table 6.6.3.2-1 in 3GPP TS 36.101 [7]) for the UE-to-UE requirements below.

5.2.4 Reference Sensitivity Power Level
The reference sensitivity power level REFSENS is the minimum mean power applied to both the UE antenna ports at which the throughput shall meet or exceed the requirements for the specified reference measurement channel. For the PREFSENS parameters provided in Table 5.2.4-1 below (from 3GPP TS 36.101 [7], Table 7.3.1-1) for Band 24, the following link budgets for the 5 and 10 MHz bandwidth cases have been calculated as follows: ● For 5 MHz: -174 + 10*log(4.5 MHz) + NF + SNR + CL – DG + IM = -100 dBm ● For 10 MHz: -174 + 10*log(9.0 MHz) + NF + SNR + CL – DG + IM = -97 dBm Where: - NF (noise figure) = 9 dB - SNR (for QPSK @ rate 1/3)= - 1 dB - CL (Rx combiner loss) = 0.5 dB - DG (Rx diversity gain) = 3 dB - IM (implementation margin) = 2 dB Table 5.2.4-1: Reference sensitivity QPSK PREFSENS Channel bandwidth E-UTRA Band 1.4 MHz (dBm) 3 MHz (dBm) 5 MHz (dBm) 10 MHz (dBm) 15 MHz (dBm) 20 MHz (dBm) Duplex Mode … 24 -100 -97 FDD … Table 5.2.4-2 (3GPP TS36.101, Table 7.3.1-2) specifies the minimum number of allocated uplink resource blocks for which the reference receive sensitivity requirement must be met. Band 24 is capable of transmitting all available RB’s on the uplink.

The transmission bandwidth configuration in Table 5.2.4-3 is supported by Band 24 for each of the specified channel bandwidths.

5.3.1 Operating band unwanted emissions
The operating band unwanted emission limits, specified in EIRP metrics, are defined from 10 MHz below the lowest frequency of the downlink operating band up to 10 MHz above the highest frequency of the downlink operating band. The requirements shall apply to whatever the type of transmitter considered (single carrier or multi-carrier) and for all transmission modes foreseen by the manufacturer's specification. As discussed in Section 4, the BS out-of-band-emission limits mandated by the FCC on this band, in general, are specified as required attenuation below the mean output power of the transmitter in accordance with Table 5.3.1-1 below. These should be viewed as the minimum, default requirements, and may be superseded by additional requirements where so specified. Table 5.3.1-1: FCC emission limits for the L-Band Frequency offset (f_offset) from the FCC authorized bandwidth (B) Attenuation (dB) below the mean output power in watts (P) of the transmitter Measurement bandwidth B/2  f_offset < B 25 4 kHz B  f_offset < 5B/2 35 4 kHz 5B/2  f_offset 43 + 10log(P) 4 kHz The quantity B in Table 5.3.1-1 is the FCC authorized BW which corresponds to the LTE channel bandwidth in 3GPP. Requirements in Table 5.3.1-1 are measured from the carrier centre frequency. As requirements should be measured from the channel edge as is usual in 3GPP, the requirements are converted as shown in Table 5.3.1-2 for the 5 and 10 MHz channel bandwidth. Table 5.3.1-2: FCC emission limits related to channel edge for the L-Band Channel bandwidth Frequency offset of measurement filter ‑3dB point, f Frequency offset of measurement filter centre frequency, f_offset Minimum requirement attenuation (dB) below maximum output power in watts (P) of the transmitter Measurement bandwidth 5 MHz 0 MHz  f < 2.5 MHz 0.002 MHz  f_offset < 2.502 MHz 25 4 kHz 2.5 MHz  f < 10 MHz 2.502 MHz  f_offset < 10.002 MHz 35 4 kHz 10 MHz  f < fmax 10.002 MHz MHz  f_offset < f_offsetmax 43 + 10log(P) 4 kHz 10 MHz 0 MHz  f < 5 MHz 0.002 MHz  f_offset < 5.002 MHz 25 4 kHz 5 MHz  f < 20 MHz 5.002 MHz  f_offset < 20.002 MHz 35 4 kHz 20 MHz  f < fmax 20.002 MHz MHz  f_offset < f_offsetmax 43 + 10log(P) 4 kHz The operating band unwanted emission limits for Category A for E‑UTRA bands >1GHz (as specified in Clause 6.6.3 of 3GPP TS 36.104 [8] and 3GPP TS 36.141 [12]) and the FCC emission limits for this band are shown in Figure 5.3.1-1 below for the 5MHz channel bandwidth option, for the cases of Wide Area, Local Area, and Home BS with 46 dBm, 24 dBm, and 20 dBm output power, respectively. It can be seen that the operating band unwanted emission (Category A) limits are always tighter. Therefore, the operating band unwanted emission limits for Category A for E‑UTRA bands >1GHz shall be applied to this band. Note that the operating band unwanted emission limits for Category B are not applicable in North America, and thus need not be specified for this band.

5.3.2 Additional spurious emissions requirements
These requirements may be applied for the protection of systems operating in frequency ranges other than the E-UTRA BS downlink operating band. The limits may apply as an optional protection of such systems that are deployed in the same geographical area as the E-UTRA BS, or they may be set by local or regional regulation as a mandatory requirement for an E-UTRA operating band. The E-UTRA BS spurious emissions limits currently specified for co-existence with systems operating in other frequency bands are more stringent than the out-of-band emissions limits by the FCC. To ensure sufficient protection to the co-existing systems, the same limits as the other E-UTRA bands BS apply for this band in Clause 6.6.4.3 of 3GPP TS 36.104 [8] (Tables 6.6.4.3.1-1 and 6.6.4.3.1-1x) and Clause 6.6.4.5.4 of 3GPP TS 36.141 [12] (Tables 6.6.4.5.4-1 and 6.6.4.5.4-1x). And to ensure sufficient protection from the co-existing systems, the same limits as the other E-UTRA bands BS shall be specified for coexistence with the BS in this band in Clause 6.6.4.3 of 3GPP TS 36.104 [8] (Tables 6.6.4.3.1-1 and 6.6.4.3.1-1x) and Clause 6.6.4.5.4 of 3GPP TS 36.141 [12] (Tables 6.6.4.5.4-1 and 6.6.4.5.4-1x). Moreover, as discussed in Section 4, the BS in this band shall meet the following limits on emissions into the 1559-1610 MHz band as requested in [6] and shown in Table 5.3.2-1 below: Table 5.3.2-1: FCC emission limits into the 1559-1610 MHz band Frequency dBW/MHz EIRP (Measurement bandwidth = 1 MHz) dBW EIRP of discrete emissions of less than 700 Hz bandwidth (Measurement bandwidth = 1 kHz) Wide Area and Local Area Base Stations 1559-1610 MHz -100 -110 Home Base Stations 1559-1605 MHz -114.7 -110 This emission limit is expressed as EIRP, not as a conducted emission requirement suitable for BS equipment. EIRP (effective isotropic radiated power), is dependent on both the BS emissions at the antenna connector and the deployment (including antenna gain and feeder loss). In this form, the EIRP requirement is not testable at the BS antenna connector. An alternative is to define maximum unwanted emission levels based on declared values by the manufacturer, similarly to the requirements for Band 20 for DTT band protection in 3GPP TS 36.104 [8] Table 6.6.3.3-4. To provide assurance that the FCC mandated emission levels for the protection of GPS can be achieved by practical base stations, Appendix A provides an example of an actual base station mask for a particular antenna gain and cable loss. Even though the victim band 1559 – 1610 MHz band is still within 10 MHz of Band 24 DL operating band, it is proposed that this FCC requirement shall be specified as additional spurious emissions requirements in Clause 6.6.4.3 of TS 36 104. Maximum emission levels shall be specified as PE_1MHz and PE_1kHz which are declared values by the manufacturer. The requirement then provides the characteristics of the base station needed to verify compliance with the regional EIRP requirement. The following Table 5.3.2-2 and note shall be added to 3GPP TS 36.104 [8] and 3GPP TS36.141 [12] (as Table 5.3-4): Table 5.3.2-2: Declared emissions levels for protection of the 1559-1610 MHz band Operating Band Frequency range Declared emission level [dBW] (Measurement bandwidth = 1 MHz) Declared emission level [dBW] of discrete emissions of less than 700 Hz bandwidth (Measurement bandwidth = 1 kHz) 24 1559 - 1610 MHz PE_1MHz PE_1kHz Note: The regional requirement is defined in terms of EIRP (effective isotropic radiated power), which is dependent on both the BS emissions at the antenna connector and the deployment (including antenna gain and feeder loss). The EIRP level is calculated using: PEIRP = PE + Gant where PE denotes the BS unwanted emission level at the antenna connector, Gant equals the BS antenna gain minus feeder loss. The requirement defined above provides the characteristics of the base station needed to verify compliance with the regional requirement.

5.3.3 Co-location with other base stations
These requirements may be applied for the protection of other BS receivers when GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, GSM850, UTRA FDD, UTRA TDD and/or E-UTRA BS are co-located with an E-UTRA BS. The requirements assume a 30 dB coupling loss between transmitter and receiver and are based on co-location with base stations of the same class. The E-UTRA BS spurious emissions limits currently specified for co-location with another BS are more stringent than the out-of-band emissions limits by the FCC. To ensure sufficient protection to the co-located BS, the same BS limits as the other E-UTRA bands use shall be specified for this band in Clause 6.6.4.4 of 3GPP TS 36.104 [8] and Clause 6.6.4.5.5 of 3GPP TS 36.141 [12]. To ensure sufficient protection from the co-located BS, the same BS limits as the other E-UTRA bands use shall be specified for co-location with the BS in this band in Clause 6.6.4.3 of 3GPP TS 36.104 [8] and Clause 6.6.4.5.4 of 3GPP TS 36.141 [12].

5.3.4 General blocking requirement
The blocking characteristics are a measure of the receiver’s ability to receive a wanted signal at its assigned channel in the presence of an unwanted interferer, which is a 1.4MHz, 3MHz or 5MHz E-UTRA signal for in-band blocking or a CW signal for out-of-band blocking. The general blocking requirements currently specified for E-UTRA BS apply the in-band blocking signal within the +/-20 MHz of the UL frequency range of a band, except when the DL frequency range of the same band falls within such range. Since the duplex distance of this band is larger than 20 MHz and thus no exception is needed, the same general blocking requirements as specified for E-UTRA Bands 2 and 5 BS shall be specified for this band in Clause 7.6.1 of 3GPP TS 36.104 [8] and Clause 7.6.5.1 of 3GPP TS 36.141 [12] to ensure sufficient BS receiver blocking ability.

36.813
5.3.5 Blocking requirement for co-location with other base stations
This additional blocking requirement may be applied for the protection of E-UTRA BS receivers when GSM, UTRA or E-UTRA BS operating in a different frequency band are co-located with an E-UTRA BS. The requirements assume a 30 dB coupling loss between interfering transmitter and E-UTRA BS receiver and are based on co-location with base stations of the same class. The blocking requirements currently specified for E-UTRA BS when co-located with BS in other frequency bands do not apply when the interfering signal falls within the +/-10 MHz of the UL frequency range of a band, except for Band 13 in order to allow co-location with Band 14 BS. Since no UTRA/E-UTRA DL is operating within the +/-10 MHz of the UL frequency range of this band, the blocking requirements shall be specified for this band in Clause 7.6.2 of 3GPP TS 36.104 [8] and Clause 7.6.5.2 of 3GPP TS 36.141 [12] using the same interfering signal as the other E-UTRA bands BS, and do not apply when the interfering signal falls within +/-10 MHz of the UL frequency range of this band (i.e. 1616.5 – 1670.5 MHz).

8 Open issues
None as of December, 2010. Annex A (informative): Configuration Example This section provides one example of how a practical L-Band eNodeB may be configured. The example uses the following parameters: Two 10 MHz LTE carriers in a given sector. ● Centre frequency of Carrier-1: 1526-1536MHz ◦ ○ Channel Power : 20Watt +20watts (2Tx ) ◦ ○ Power of Carrier-1: Maximum 32 dBW ● Centre frequency of Carrier-2: 1545.2-1555.2 MHz ◦ ○ Channel Power : 20Watt + 20watts (2Tx) ◦ ○ Power of Carrier-2: Maximum 32 dBW ● Peak antenna gain: 16 dBi ● Cable Loss: 0.5-2 dB The emission mask and the actual BTS power spectral density measured at the antenna connector is shown below in Figure A.1 Figure A.1: BTS PSD measured at the antenna connector (LTE 2*10 MHz) It is noteworthy that this is no more than an example. It is technically feasible to deploy at other centre frequencies anywhere in the L-band (subject to coordination with other satellite operators such as Inmarsat), at other BTS power levels, with other types of filters offering greater selectivity, and with other antenna gains. While it is acknowledged that meeting the GPS emission level gets more demanding as one gets closer to the upper edge of the band (1559 MHz), several deployment options exist that make it feasible to use frequencies up to 1559 MHz for ATC. These include the following: ● Reducing the BTS power level (e.g. use for microcells) ● Using a post-selector filter per carrier – the above example uses a single (band-wide) filter to cover both carriers ● Use a bulkier filter with more elements – the present filter was designed for use on remote radio heads ● Use lower antenna gain Annex B (informative): Change history Change history Date TSG # TSG Doc.

3 Justification *
The target of SON is to maintain network quality and performance with a minimum of manual intervention from the operator. Self-optimization functionality will monitor and analyse performance management data, and will automatically trigger optimization action on the affected network node(s) when necessary. This will significantly reduce manual interventions and replace them with automatically triggered re-optimizations, re-configurations, or software reloads/upgrades thereby helping to reduce operating expense. The ongoing work in TSG RAN on SON for RRM also requires OAM support. As a consequence the scope of SON self optimization also includes: Load balancing Handover Parameter optimization Interference control Capacity and coverage optimization RACH optimization
c5bf175a68d67c6fcb7b30b34228a53d
30.819
4 Objective *
Collect and document Self-Optimization OAM requirements for SON. Define in cooperation with RAN WGs inputs to and outputs from the Self-Optimization Entity, its location in the management architecture, and the degree of standardisation of the associated algorithms. Identify and document required Self-Optimization related additions to the affected specifications. Ensure that the OAM specifications support load balancing, HandOver (HO) parameter optimization, interference control, capacity and coverage optimization and RACH optimization. Based on the above, a set of new TSs should capture the "SON Self-Optimization OAM Requirements". Some existing specifications (i.e., NRM, PM, etc.) may need some modification according to the output of the work task.

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. When radio Network Elements (e.g. cells and/or eNBs) are inserted into an operational radio network, some network configuration parameters cannot be configured before-hand because they have interdependencies with the configuration of operational Network Elements. ”Dynamic Radio Network Configuration Data Preparation” comprises the generation and distribution of such interdependent parameters to the newly inserted network element and optionally already operational Network Elements. This functionality is urgently needed to allow a fully automatic establishment of an eNB into a network. Otherwise a network operator would have to administer these configurations manually. Without this functionality self-configuration cannot be considered not fully as “self”.

4 Objective
It is proposed to work on technical solutions for Automatic Radio Network Configuration Data Preparation, i.e.: Analyse which configuration parameter cannot be determined before-hand by the IRPAgent or by the self-configuration process and what input might be needed to generate them. Define new functionality to trigger distribution of such parameters. This functionality should fit to the existing self-configuration functionalities and re-use existing IRPs, if possible. The required activities to achieve these objectives may include: Refine/define the requirements Define the Resource model Define operation and notifications (information service) Define solution set/s

(Yes / No): Yes 1 3GPP Work Area X Radio Access X Core Network Services 2 Linked work items OAM&P 8 (Operations, Administration, Maintenance & Provisioning) Feature: OAM8, ID 340063 3 Justification The EMS (Element Management System) plays an important role in network management architecture. In general, the EMS is provided by Vendors of the nodes and Operators, using IRPManager, can manage the nodes through the EMS. Therefore, when EMS is unavailable or down, the Operator, using IRPManager, would not be able to manage the nodes. Vendors of EMS supply proprietary interface via which the EMS itself can be managed and maintained. Currently, the management of EMS is not standardized. Issues to be part of this study: 1) If new 3GPP specification is required (e.g. use potentially existing industry or de facto commercial standards) 2) EMS configuration data backup and restoration 3) Time Synchronization between IRP Manager and IRP Agent 4) Resources monitoring on IRP Agent 5) Software version management of EMS 6) Should Communication Surveillance IRP, e.g. enhancement, to be included in this study The currently existing 3GPP SA5 IRPs are mainly focused on the management of nodes such as UMTS network nodes (e.g. CM IRPs, Common IRPs, FM IRPs, PM IRP, Trace IRP). As shown in figure1, currently there are no IRPs to support the management of EMS. 4 Objective The EMS (e.g. IRPAgent and its associated YyyIRPs) is vital for network management in that network management activities would cease if EMS is unavailable or down. Because of its vital role, it is important that the EMS should be properly managed and maintained. No doubt, vendors have been providing proprietary means to manage their EMS. This study is to evaluate if some key or core EMS management functions can be standardized to support a better (most cost/effective) management paradigm in a multi-vendor network environment. This study will focus on managing the EMS, including as examples: 1) what kind of maintenance operations can be standardized, 2) what kind of information in IRPAgent and YyyIRP shall be modelled. 3) what standard/de facto standards currently exist; comparison; benefits of having a 3GPP specified solution. The study result can be the baseline of the maintenance of IRPAgent system and may lead to define a new interface IRP in a subsequent implementation work item. 5 Service Aspects None 6 MMI-Aspects None 7 Charging Aspects None 8 Security Aspects Not known

Software Management, in general, provides the operator with the ability to manage effectively the software entities residing in the 3G network. Software Management function is useful especially when there is a need to manage a large number of software residing in the managed elements widely distributed geographically. The main focus is the management of new software releases and correction patches [1]. The software management operations are initiated by the operator or by functions in the Operations Systems (OSs) either on single NE or across several NEs of the 3G network.

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 power off. At any time, the user may request the UE to initiate reselection and registration onto an alternative available PLMN. As defined in Release 6 the Automatic Mode will attempt to connect the UE to a PLMN using the following order; the RPLMN (or its EPLMNs) followed by the HPLMN followed by PLMNs indicated on the User and then the Operator controlled Preferred Lists, followed by those PLMNs with sufficient signal quality in random order, and finally those in descending order of signal strength. The Manual Mode presents the user with a list of the networks that are available and the user then selects which network the UE should connect to in order to gain service. In the case of the Automatic mode periodic network selection attempts may be enabled by the HPLMN to search for and connect to higher priority PLMNs if they have become available. In Release 7 the Equivalent HPLMN feature has been introduced which allows multiple PLMNs to be treated as the HPLMN and hence share the highest priority during network selection attempts. The detailed Network Selection Procedure is contained in TS23.122 [2] The Stage 1 Requirements for Network Selection when access is available through I-WLAN are detailed in TS 22.234 [3]. This is provides for both an automatic and a manual mode similar to that specified in TS 22.011 [1]. This introduces a number of additional priority lists, which enable Network Operators to give different preferences to PLMNs that are available via I-WLAN and also to indicate preferred WLAN ID’s in the case that it is possible to connect to the same PLMN via more than one WLAN AP. The detailed Network Selection Procedure for I-WLAN is contained in TS 24.234 [4]. The Network Selection Procedures defined for I-WLANs are decoupled from the network selection procedures for cellular protocols specified in TS 23.122 [2], though they share some similarities.

5 High level principles
e6f57f912523fc54acca00719a764ae8
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 operator, visited network operator) are also described.

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 relation (i.e. the home PLMN) or indirect via the home PLMN (e.g. a Visited PLMN). Principle 1: the subscriber selects and registers with a public land mobile network regardless of the radio access technology employed to attain connectivity. This is then regarded as the registered PLMN (RPLMN). Principle 2: the home PLMN operator and the user can prioritise by means of lists the available PLMNs/Access technologies combinations for roaming. If only networks for which no priority is defined are available, then those networks with sufficient radio quality are chosen at random, then the rest are chosen in order of decreasing signal strength. Furthermore the home PLMN operator has control over the periodicity the UE attempt to register on a PLMN with higher priority than the current registered one. Principle 3: the HPLMN and any other PLMN declared as equivalent to the HPLMN (EHPLMN) of the subscriber has by default the highest priority, however the UE shall first attempt to attain service from the last PLMN it successfully registered on (last registered PLMN or the equivalent PLMNs). Principle 4: the PLMN has priority over the particular radio access technology that the UE may prefer to use. When the PLMN supports multiple access technologies, the UE shall use in priority preferred RAT on the USIM preferred list to attain connectivity on that PLMN.

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 least the following combination of entities: - HPLMN and USIM are Rel-7: HPLMN/EHPLMN (Rel-7) - VPLMN (pre-Rel-7) - ME (pre-Rel-7) - USIM (Rel-7) - HPLMN and ME are Rel-7: HPLMN/EHPLMN (Rel-7) - VPLMN (pre-Rel-7) - ME(Rel-7) - (U)SIM (pre-Rel-7) - VPLMN is Pre-Rel-7: HPLMN/EHPLMN (Rel-7) - VPLMN (pre-Rel-7) - ME (Rel-7) - USIM (Rel-7) - All the entities are Rel-7: HPLMN/EHPLMN (Rel-7) - VPLMN (Rel-7) - ME(Rel-7) - USIM (Rel-7)

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 any additional functionality (e.g. operating system device initialisation). Following switch-on if the last registered PLMN is available, and no higher priority PLMN is available (e.g. HPLMN) the user should be registered on that PLMN (typically within 5 seconds). This period includes the execution of any 3GPP defined functionality as described above. Following switch-on if the last registered PLMN is available, and a higher priority PLMN is available (e.g. HPLMN) the user should be registered on the Highest priority PLMN available (typically within 20 seconds). This period includes the execution of any 3GPP defined functionality as described above. If not limited by subscriptions and other commercial framework and technical feasible, roaming users should always be able to access all their services and their services shall always work correctly as if they were on the home network. Users shall be able to choose the PLMN they wish to receive service from.

22.811
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 roaming user for each visited network (i.e. apply per user per country). This should include which networks are preferred in selected countries in priority order. User preferences or manual PLMN selection may override operator preferences. The HPLMN can direct the user to a VPLMN that is capable of providing the best possible service to match the "at home experience". However, the VPLMN needs to have over-riding control over the use of its own capabilities.

22.811
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 possible. The visited operator should be able to choose the most appropriate access technology in order to meet the service requirements of the user subject to network conditions and availability. This should cover data rates also, for example, the visited network should be able to allocate 128kbps even though the user may usually use 384kbps. The visited operator should be able to allocate access technology and data rates on the basis of the IMSI of the inbound roamer.

22.811
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 selector with Access Technology - Network Parameters And for I-WLAN: - User controlled PLMN selector for WLAN Access - Operator controlled PLMN selector for WLAN Access - User controlled WLAN Specific Identifier List - Operator controlled WLAN Specific Identifier List
