== Generic Subscriber Update Protocol
=== General
This chapter describes the remote protocol that is used by OsmoSGSN and OsmoMSC to update
and manage the local subscriber list in OsmoHLR. Functionally, it resembles the
interface between the SGSN/VLR 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
stack of MTP2/MTP3/SCCP/TCAP, or any of the SIGTRAN alternatives.
In order to avoid many of the complexities of MAP, which are difficult
to implement in the plain C language environment 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 or VLR 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 or VLR replaces all tuples that
are assigned to the subscriber. If the message doesn't contain any tuple the
SGSN or VLR may reject the Attach Request. (see 3GPP TS 09.02, 25.5.6)

}
----
==== Reporting of Authentication Failure
Using this procedure, the SGSN or VLR reports authentication failures to the
HLR.
.Authentication Failure Report (Normal Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
hscale="1.5";
SGSN [label="SGSN/VLR"], Peer [label="Network Peer (HLR)"];
SGSN => Peer [label="AUTHENTICATION FAILURE REPORT (IMSI)"];
}
----
==== Location Updating
The SGSN or VLR 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 or VLR.
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 or VLR
clears existing PDP information fields in the subscriber record first.
(see 3GPP TS 09.02, 19.1.1.8)

Peer => SGSN [label="UPDATE LOCATTION ERROR (Cause)"];
}
----
==== Location Cancellation
Using the Location Cancellation procedure, the Network Peer (HLR) can
request the SGSN or VLR to remove a subscriber record.
.Cancel Location (Normal Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
hscale="1.5";
SGSN [label="SGSN/VLR"], Peer [label="Network Peer (HLR)"];

SGSN [label="SGSN/VLR"], 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 or VLR can request purging of MS
related state from a previous SGSN or VLR during an inter-SGSN / inter-MSC location
update.
.Purge MS (Normal Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
hscale="1.5";
SGSN [label="SGSN/VLR"], 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 or VLR. This is used in case the
subscription details (e.g. PDP Contexts / APNs) change while the
subscriber is registered to that SGSN VLR.
.Delete Subscriber Data (Normal Case)
["mscgen"]
----
msc {
hscale="1.5";
SGSN [label="SGSN/VLR"], Peer [label="Network Peer (HLR)"];
Peer => SGSN [label="DELETE SUBSCRIBER DATA REQUEST (IMSI)"];
SGSN => Peer [label="DELETE SUBSCRIBER DATA RESULT"];
}

==== Quality of Service Subscribed Service
This encodes the subscribed QoS of a subscriber. It will be used by the
SGSN during the PDP Context activation. If the length of the QoS data
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.

==== PDP-Charging Characteristics
This encodes the ChargingCharacteristics of 3GPP TS 32.215. A HLR may
send this as part of the InsertSubscriberData or within a single PDP
context definition. If the HLR supplies this information it must be
used by the SGSN or VLR when activating a PDP context.

==== HLR Number encoded as 3GPP TS 09.02 ISDN-AddressString
The HLR Number is encoded as an ISDN-AddressString in 3GPP TS 09.02. It
will be stored by the SGSN or VLR can be used by the CDR module to keep a
record.
