Release 13 8 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

0.3 The forwarded-to number


As indicated in 3GPP TS 22.082 the forwarded-to numbers are stored in the international format.

If according to 3GPP TS 22.082 the served subscriber is provided with a Translation Information Flag (TIF-CSI) then
the HPLMN shall treat the forwarded-to number transparently at the time of registration, i.e. not perform any checks or
translations. In this case the forwarded-to number shall be stored in the format as it was received from the MS.

Therefore, if transferred, the forwarded-to number is transferred from the HLR to other network entities and stored in
the VLR always in the format as stored in the HLR..

0.4 Cross phase compatibility


For the following supplementary services, a number of changes exist between the present document and the Phase 1
specification:

- Call forwarding unconditional;

- Call forwarding on mobile subscriber busy;

- Call forwarding on no reply;

- Call forwarding on mobile subscriber not reachable.

The main body of the present document assumes that all network entities comply with this version of the service. In
each case an additional clause (clause x.6) defines the additional requirements for when one or more network entities or
the MS complies with the Phase 1 specifications for the supplementary service procedures.

0.5 Support of Long Forwarded-to Numbers


For the following supplementary services, it shall be possible to register a long forwarded-to number which was not
possible in previous versions of the services:

- Call forwarding unconditional;

- Call forwarding on mobile subscriber busy;

- Call forwarding on no reply;

- Call forwarding on mobile subscriber not reachable.

The main body of the present document assumes that all network entities comply with this version of the service. In
each case an additional clause (clause x.10) defines the additional requirements when one or more network entities
and/or the mobile station does not support Long Forwarded-to Numbers.

The functionality specified in this document does not imply any constraint on the length of a forwarded to number,
except where such a constraint is explicitly stated.

0.6 Data stored in the HLR for all call forwarding services
The following data are stored in the HLR in common for all call forwarding services:

- The "notification to CSE flag". This flag applies for all call forwarding services. When the data for any Call
Forwarding are changed, the HLR checks this flag. If the flag is set, the change is reported to the gsmSCF(s)
defined by the gsmSCF address list. See 3GPP TS 23.078.

- The "gsmSCF address list", which is a list of gsmSCF addresses to which Notification on Change of Subscriber
Data is to be sent. This list applies to all call forwarding services. See 3GPP TS 23.078.

Release 13 9 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

1 Call forwarding unconditional (CFU)

1.1 Handling of call forwarding unconditional


1.1.1 Registration
At the beginning of registration subscription to the basic service, provision of the supplementary service and sufficiency
of registration information has to be checked (see figure 1.2).

The following information has to be registered in the network:

1) the forwarded-to number (possibly including a sub-address);

2) information as to whether all calls or all calls of a specific basic service group should be forwarded.

The basic service group code

If the registration request received by the HLR does not contain any basic service group code, the registration shall be
performed for all subscribed basic service groups for which CFU is provided, see figure 1.2.

The forwarded-to number

If the forwarded-to number is a number in the HPLMN country, it may be entered by the served mobile subscriber in
three different formats, independent of his actual location, according to the schemes:

1) national (significant) number;

2) (trunk) prefix plus national (significant) number;

3) international prefix, country code, national (significant) number.

The received number may have to be converted to an international number before further processing.

The network may also validate the forwarded-to number before accepting the call forwarding registration request.

If a served mobile subscriber is provided with the Translation Information Flag (TIF-CSI) as part of the CAMEL
subscriber data (refer to TS 23.078), the network shall accept and store the forwarded-to number transparently at the
time of registration. In this case the network shall neither convert nor validate the received number. Therefore the
forwarded-to number may not comply with the schemes indicated above.

For further details related to the handling of the forwarded-to number refer to figure 1.2.

Supplementary Service interaction

Possible interaction situations between CFU and other call forwarding and barring supplementary services must then be
checked. This is described in figure 1.2. Also see technical specifications 3GPP TS 22.004 and 3GPP TS 22.082. For
interaction between CFU and other supplementary services (ie not call barring or call forwarding services), the reader is
referred to the respective technical specification for those supplementary services.

Interaction with CAMEL Phase 2 or higher

Possible interaction between CFU and CAMEL Phase 2 or higher is described in figure 1.2. If CAMEL Phase 2 or
higher is not supported in the HLR, processing continues from the "No" exit of the test "Result=Pass".

Notifications to the subscriber

When the mobile subscriber registers CFU, the network shall attempt to register and activate the service. The network
will return notification of acceptance of the request. This notification will include the forwarded-to number and possibly
the basic service group code to which CFU is registered.

If the system cannot accept a registration request, the network sends a notification that CFU registration was not
successful to the served mobile subscriber.

3GPP
Release 13 10 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

The information flow for registration of CFU is shown in figure 1.1.

Figure 1.2: CFU1 Call forwarding unconditional registration process

1.1.2 Erasure
A previous registration can be erased in either of the following three ways:

- the subscriber can specifically erase a previous registration (to a basic service group) with an appropriate control
procedure;

- the subscriber can register information for CFU (to a basic service group), thus causing previous registrations of
CFU to be overridden (in the network this shall be handled as an erasure immediately followed by a
registration);

- all information is erased as a result of withdrawal of the supplementary service (administrative handling).

3GPP
Release 13 12 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

The basic service group code

If the erasure request received by the HLR does not contain any basic service group code, the erasure request applies for
all basic service groups for which CFU is registered. See figure 1.4.

Supplementary Service interaction

Possible interaction situations between CFU and other supplementary services must then be checked. This is shown in
figure 1.4. Also see technical specifications 3GPP TS 22.004 and 3GPP TS 22.082. For interaction between CFU and
other supplementary services (ie not call barring or call forwarding services), the reader is referred to the respective
technical specification for those supplementary services.

Notifications to the subscriber

When the mobile subscriber erases CFU, the network shall attempt to erase (and thus deactivate) the service. The
network shall send an indication of acceptance or rejection of the erasure request to the served mobile station.

The information flow for erasure of CFU is shown in figure 1.3.

Figure 1.4: CFU2 Call forwarding unconditional erasure process

1.1.3 Activation
The network initially checks subscription to the basic service and registration status of the supplementary service, see
figure 1.6.

Possible interaction situations between CFU and other supplementary services must then be checked. The SDL
diagrams in figure 1.6 shows the function to be performed in the HLR in order to deal with the interactions between
CFU and the call restriction and conditional call forwarding services. Also see 3GPP TS 22.004 [2] and 3GPP TS
22.082 [3]. For interaction between CFU and other supplementary services (ie not call barring or call forwarding
services), the reader is referred to the respective technical specification for those supplementary services.

CFU may be active simultaneously with ACR (see 3GPP TS 23.088 [12]). If CFU and ACR are active simultaneously,
then the ACR supplementary service shall take precedence over the CFU supplementary service, i.e. a call which is

3GPP
Release 13 14 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

terminated for the served subscriber when CLI presentation is restricted shall be rejected according to the ACR
supplementary service.

The Basic Service Group Code

If the activation request received by the HLR doesn't contain any basic service group code, the activation request shall
apply to all subscribed basic service groups against which a CFU forwarded-to number is registered. If a forwarded-to
number is not registered against even a subset of the required basic service group, the request will be rejected.

Note that according to 3GPP TS 22.004 [2], a request for activation shall still be accepted although the CFU
supplementary service was already active for all basic service groups.

Notification to the subscriber

The network will return notification of acceptance, partial acceptance or rejection of the request to the mobile station.

The information flow for activation of CFU is shown in figure 1.5.

1.1.4 Deactivation
The previous activation can be deactivated in either of the following three ways:

- the subscriber can specifically deactivate a previous activation (to a basic service group) with an appropriate
control procedure;

- the subscriber can register information for CFU (to a basic service group), thus causing previous registrations
and activations of CFU to be overridden (this shall be handled in the same way as an erasure (implying
deactivation) immediately followed by a registration (implying activation));

- the service is deactivated as a result of withdrawal of the supplementary service (administrative handling).

3GPP
Release 13 16 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

Possible interaction situations between CFU and other supplementary services must be checked. The SDL diagram in
figure 1.8 shows the function to be performed in the HLR in order to deal with the possible interactions between CFU
and the conditional call forwarding services.

The Basic Service Group Code

The CFU deactivation request may specify a basic service group for which deactivation is required. If the deactivation
request received by the HLR doesn't contain any basic service group code, the deactivation request shall apply to all
basic services for which CFU is active, see figure 1.8.

If the deactivation request received by the HLR contains a basic service group code, only information related to the
specified basic service group(s) is affected. Note that according to 3GPP TS 22.004, a request for deactivation shall still
be accepted even if the CFU supplementary service was already deactive for all basic service groups.

1.3 Information stored in the HLR


The following logical states are applicable for CFU
(refer to 3GPP TS 23.011 for an explanation of the notation):

Provisioning State Registration State Activation State HLR Induction State

(Not Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Registered, Active and Quiescent, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Registered, Active and Operative, Not Induced)

The registration and activation state may be different for each applicable elementary basic service group.

3GPP
Release 13 21 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

The provisioning state shall be on a per subscriber basis, and hence the same for all basic service groups.

The HLR shall store:

- the state of CFU (which shall be one of the valid states listed above) for each applicable elementary basic service
group;

- the subscription option "notification to the calling party" on a per subscriber basis;

This subscription option takes one of the following values:

- no notification;

- notification.

- the subscription option "MSISDN of the served subscriber can be presented to the forwarded-to subscriber" on a
per subscriber basis;

This subscription option takes one of the following values:

- presentation restricted;

- presentation allowed.

- the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" (possibly including a forwarded-to sub-address) for each
applicable elementary basic service group.

- the default forwarded-to number (containing less than 16 digits) for each applicable elementary basic service
group.

Note that the value "Active and Quiescent" of the activation state is required in case of interaction with Operator
Determined Barring (see 3GPP TS 23.015).

1.4 State transition model


The following figure shows the successful cases of transition between the applicable logical states of CFU. The state
changes are either caused by actions of the service provider, the mobile user or the network.

Note that error cases are not shown in the diagram as they normally do not cause a state change. Additionally, some
successful requests may not cause a state change. Hence, they are not shown in the diagram.

The diagram only shows operations on an elementary basic service group.

3GPP
Release 13 22 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

Figure 1.12: State transition model for CFU

1.5 Transfer of information from HLR to VLR


If the provisioning state for CFU is "Provisioned" then, when the subscriber registers on a VLR, the HLR shall send that
VLR information about the logical state of CFU for all relevant elementary basic service groups.

If the logical state of CFU is changed while a subscriber is registered on a VLR then for the affected basic service
groups, the HLR shall inform the VLR of the new logical state of CFU.

1.6 Information stored in the VLR


For CFU the VLR shall store the service state information received from the HLR for all relevant elementary basic
service groups.

1.7 Handover
Handover will have no impact on the control procedure and the operation of the service.

3GPP
Release 13 23 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

1.8 Cross phase compatibility


1.8.1 MS, MSC, VLR or HLR only support Phase 1 control of SS by the
subscriber
In response to a CFU interrogation request, if the MS or any network element involved is of Phase 1, only information
concerning basic service groups for which the activation state has the value "Active and Operative" will be returned.
This means, for example, that the subscriber will not be aware that the forwarded to number is registered if CFU is
deactivated. A subaddress (if registered) will not be included in the response.

Note that if any network element involved is of Phase 1, CFU Registration requests which use a subaddress and all CFU
Activation and Deactivation requests will be rejected, as these are not specified in Phase 1.

1.8.2 HLR only supports Phase 1 updating of subscriber information


The VLR shall ignore the subscription option "notification to the calling party" and the registration parameter
"forwarded to number" when received from a Phase 1 HLR.

If the VLR receives the SS-Status parameter from a Phase 1 HLR it shall act if it has received the SS-Status parameter
with the values shown in the following:

1) Activated => A bit = 1, Q bit = 0;

2) Deactivated => A bit = 0, Q bit = 0 or 1

1.8.3 VLR only supports Phase 1 updating of subscriber information


When passing CFU information to a Phase 1 VLR, the HLR shall send the service state information in a form which the
VLR can accept, based on the logical state held in the HLR, as follows:

1) (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

=> Erased, Deactivated;

2) (Provisioned, Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

=> Registered, Deactivated;

3) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Operative, Not Induced)

=> Registered, Activated;

4) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Quiescent, Not Induced)

=> Registered, Deactivated.

The HLR shall not pass a subaddress to a Phase 1 VLR.

1.8.4 GMSC only supports Phase 1 call handling


When a call is forwarded unconditionally, the HLR shall not pass the subaddress to a Phase 1 GMSC. Calls shall be
forwarded without the subaddress.

1.8.5 GMSC does not support CAMEL or supports CAMEL Phase 1 only
If the activation state of CFU is "Active and Operative" and if the forwarded-to number is registered in a format other
than international and if the GMSC does not support CAMEL or supports CAMEL Phase 1 only, then when a request
for routeing information for a mobile terminated call is received in the HLR, CFU shall not be invoked, i.e. the mobile
terminated call establishment will be continued towards the served mobile subscriber.

2 Call forwarding on mobile subscriber busy

2.1 Handling of call forwarding on mobile subscriber busy


2.1.1 Registration
The same rules apply for the registration of Call Forwarding on Mobile Subscriber Busy as were described for Call
Forwarding Unconditional in clause 1.1.1 above, with the exception of the checking of interaction with other
supplementary services. Basic registration of information is illustrated in figure 2.2.

3GPP
Release 13 27 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

Supplementary Service Interaction

Possible interaction situations between CFB and other supplementary services must then be checked. This is described
in figure 2.2. Also see 3GPP TS 22.004 and 3GPP TS 22.082. For interaction between CFB and other supplementary
services (ie not call barring or call forwarding services), the reader is referred to the respective technical specification
for those supplementary services.

Interaction with CAMEL Phase 2 or higher

Possible interaction between CFB and CAMEL Phase 2 or higher is described in figure 2.2. If CAMEL Phase 2 or
higher is not supported in the HLR, processing continues from the "No" exit of the test "Result=Pass".

The information flow for registration of CFB is shown in figure 2.1.

2.1.3 Activation
The same rules apply for the activation of CFB as were described for CFU in clause 1.1.3 above, with the exception of
the checking of interaction with other supplementary services. Basic activation of CFNRc is illustrated in figure 2.6.

Supplementary Service Interaction

Possible interaction situations between CFB and other supplementary services must then be checked. This is described
in figure 2.6. Also see 3GPP TS 22.004 [2] and 3GPP TS 22.082 [3]. For interaction between CFB and other
supplementary services (ie not call barring or call forwarding services), the reader is referred to the respective technical
specification for those supplementary services.

CFB may be active simultaneously with ACR (see 3GPP TS 23.088 [12]). If CFB and ACR are active simultaneously,
then the ACR supplementary service shall take precedence over the CFB service, i.e. a call which is terminated for the
served subscriber when CLI presentation is restricted shall be rejected according to the ACR supplementary service.

3GPP
Release 13 41 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

2.3 Information stored in the HLR


The following logical states are applicable for CFB
(refer to 3GPP TS 23.011 for an explanation of the notation):

Provisioning State Registration State Activation State HLR Induction State

(Not Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Registered, Active and Quiescent, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Registered, Active and Operative, Not Induced)

The registration and activation state may be different for each applicable elementary basic service group.

The provisioning state shall be on a per subscriber basis, and hence the same for all basic service groups.

The HLR shall store:

- the state of CFB (which shall be one of the valid states listed above) for each applicable elementary basic service
group;

- the subscription option "notification to the calling party" on a per subscriber basis;

This subscription option takes one of the following values:

- no notification;

- notification.

- the subscription option "notification to the forwarding party" on a per subscriber basis;

This subscription option takes one of the following values:

- no notification;

- notification.

the subscription option " MSISDN of the served subscriber can be presented to the forwarded-to subscriber" on a per
subscriber basis;

This subscription option takes one of the following values:

- presentation restricted;

- presentation allowed.

- the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" (possibly including a forwarded-to sub-address) for each
applicable elementary basic service group.

- the default forwarded-to number (containing less than 16 digits) for each applicable elementary basic service group.

2.4 State transition model


The following figure shows the successful cases of transition between the applicable logical states of CFB. The state
changes are either caused by actions of the service provider, the mobile user or the network.

Note that error cases are not shown in the diagram as they normally do not cause a state change. Additionally, some
successful requests may not cause a state change. Hence, they are not shown in the diagram. The diagram only shows
operations on an elementary basic service group.

3GPP
Release 13 42 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

Figure 2.15: State transition model for CFB

2.5 Transfer of information from HLR to VLR


If the provisioning state for CFB is "Provisioned" then, when the subscriber registers on a VLR, the HLR shall send that
VLR information about the logical state of CFB for all relevant elementary basic service groups.

If the registration state for CFB is "Registered" then, when the subscriber registers on a VLR, the HLR shall send that
VLR the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" for all relevant elementary basic service groups and information
about the subscription options "notification to the calling party", "notification to the forwarding party" and "MSISDN of
the served subscriber can be presented to the forwarded-to subscriber".

If the logical state or the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" of CFB is changed while a subscriber is
registered on a VLR then for the affected basic service groups, the HLR shall inform the VLR respectively of the new
logical state or the new registration parameter of CFB.

If information about the subscription options "notification to the calling party" and "notification to the forwarding
party" and "MSISDN of the served subscriber can be presented to the forwarded-to subscriber" of CFB is changed
while a subscriber is registered on a VLR and the registration state of CFB is "Registered" then the HLR shall inform
the VLR of the new information about the subscription options of CFB.

2.6 Information stored in the VLR


For CFB the VLR shall store the service state information, the registration parameter "forward-to number" and the
subscription options received from the HLR.

3GPP
Release 13 43 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

2.7 Handover
Handover will have no impact on the control procedure and the operation of the service.

2.8 Cross phase compatibility


2.8.1 MS, MSC, VLR or HLR only support Phase 1 control of SS by the
subscriber
In response to a CFB interrogation request, if the MS or any network element involved is of Phase 1, only information
concerning basic service groups for which the activation state has the value "Active and Operative" will be returned.
This means that the subscriber will not be aware that the forwarded to number is registered if CFB is deactivated or
active (quiescent). A subaddress (if registered) will not be included.

Note that if any network element involved is of Phase 1, CFB Registration requests which use a subaddress and all CFB
Activation and Deactivation requests will be rejected, as these are not specified in Phase 1.

2.8.2 HLR only supports Phase 1 updating of subscriber information


If the VLR receives the SS-Status parameter from a Phase 1 HLR it shall act if it has received the SS-Status parameter
with the values shown in the following:

1) Registered, Activated => P bit =1, R bit = 1, A bit = 1, Q bit = 0;

2) Registered, Deactivated => P bit =1, R bit = 1, A bit = 0, Q bit = 0 or 1;

3) Erased => P bit =1, R bit = 0, A bit = 0, Q bit = 0 or 1.

2.8.3 VLR only supports Phase 1 updating of subscriber information


When passing CFB information to a Phase 1 VLR, the HLR shall send the service state information in a form which the
VLR can accept, based on the logical state held in the HLR, as follows:

1) (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

=> Erased, Deactivated;

2) (Provisioned, Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

=> Registered, Deactivated;

3) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Operative, Not Induced)

=> Registered, Activated;

4) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Quiescent, Not Induced)

=> Registered, Deactivated.

The HLR shall not pass a subaddress to a Phase 1 VLR.

2.8.4 VLR only supports Phase 1 call handling


When a call is forwarded on busy, as the HLR does not pass the subaddress to the VLR, calls shall be forwarded
without the subaddress.

3GPP
Release 13 44 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

2.8.5 VLR does not support CAMEL or supports CAMEL Phase 1 only
When passing CFB information to a VLR not supporting CAMEL or supporting CAMEL Phase 1 only, the HLR shall
send the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" only if it is registered in a format which the VLR can accept, i.e.
international format.

If the registration state for CFB is "Registered" and the forwarded-to number is registered in a format other than
international, then when updating a VLR not supporting CAMEL or supporting CAMEL Phase 1 only the HLR shall
modify the service state information of CFB as follows.

1) (Provisioned, Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

=> (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

2) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Operative, Not Induced)

=> (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

3) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Quiescent, Not Induced)

=> (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

According to the definitions in clause 2.5 no forwarded-to number will be passed to the VLR in these cases. The
modification of the service state information sent to the VLR shall have no impact on the service state information
stored in the HLR.

If the VLR supports Phase 1 updating of subscriber information only, a further translation of the service state
information as defined in clause 2.8.3 shall be performed by the HLR.

2.8.6 GMSC only supports Phase 1 call handling


When a call is forwarded on busy, the HLR shall not pass the subaddress to a Phase 1 GMSC. Calls shall be forwarded
without the subaddress.

2.8.7 GMSC does not support CAMEL or supports CAMEL Phase 1 only
If the activation state of CFB is "Active and Operative" and if the forwarded-to number is registered in a format other
than international and if the GMSC does not support CAMEL or supports CAMEL Phase 1 only, then when a request
for routeing information for a mobile terminated call is received in the HLR, CFB shall not be invoked. The HLR shall
return a busy subscriber error.

2.9.4.2 Perform Call Forwarding ack


This message is specified in 3GPP TS 23.018.

Perform Call Forwarding ack contains the following amendment to the Forwarded-to number IE
specific to Long Forwarded-to Numbers:

Information element name Required Description


Forwarded-to number M Number of the C subscriber.
NOTE: This number may be different from the Forwarded-to
number received in the Perform Call Forwarding, as a result of
CAMEL handling.

2.10 Support of Long Forwarded-to Numbers


2.10.1 MS does not support Long Forwarded-to Numbers
The handling for CFB is the same as that for CFU, see clause 1.10.1.

2.10.2 HLR does not support Long Forwarded-to Numbers


The handling for CFB is the same as that for CFU, see clause 1.10.2.

2.10.3 GMSC does not support Long Forwarded-to Numbers


The MSC/VLR can determine from the PRN whether the GMSC supports Long Forwarded-to Numbers. If the GMSC
does not support Long Forwarded-to Numbers and a long forwarded-to number is registered for CFB, then on
invocation of CFB, ORLCF shall not be invoked.

2.10.4 MSC/VLR does not support Long Forwarded-to Numbers


The handling for CFB in the HLR is the same as that for CFU, see clause 1.10.3.

3GPP
Release 13 47 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

The VLR shall indicate whether it supports Long Forwarded-to Numbers in the Update Location and Restore Data
messages to the HLR. If the VLR does not support Long Forwarded-to Numbers and a Long Forwarded-to Number is
registered for CFB, then:

- If a default forwarded-to number (containing a maximum of 15 digits) is stored in the HLR, the HLR shall send to
the VLR an Insert Subscriber Data message containing the default forwarded-to number in the Forwarded-to
number parameter.

- Otherwise, the HLR shall send the VLR the following service state information:

(Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

For an MT call, if the following conditions are met then the HLR shall include the Forwarding interrogation required
parameter in the first Send Routing Info ack:

- The GMSC supports Optimal Routeing and Long Forwarded-to Numbers, and

- The MSC/VLR does not support Long Forwarded-to Numbers,and

- CFB is active and operative, and

- A long forwarded-to number is registered for CFB.

According to the rules of Optimal Routeing, when the GMSC receives a Resume Call Handling message from the
MSC/VLR, it shall send a second Send Routing Info message to the HLR allowing the HLR to insert the correct long
forwarded-to number.

3 Call forwarding on no reply

3.1 Handling of call forwarding on no reply


3.1.1 Registration
The same rules apply for the registration of Call Forwarding on No Reply as were described for Call Forwarding
Unconditional in clause 1.1.1 above, with the exceptions described below. Basic registration of information is illustrated
in figure 3.2.

The No Reply Condition Timer

If a value for the no reply condition timer is not included in the registration request received from the MS, then the
previous value set by the mobile user or the network operator applies.

Supplementary Service Interaction

Possible interaction situations between CFNRy and other supplementary services must then be checked. This is
described in figure 3.2. Also see 3GPP TS 22.004 and 3GPP TS 22.082. For interaction between CFNRy and other
supplementary services (ie not call barring or call forwarding services), the reader is referred to the respective technical
specification for those supplementary services.

Interaction with CAMEL Phase 2 or higher

Possible interaction between CFNRy and CAMEL Phase 2 or higher is described in figure 3.2. If CAMEL Phase 2 or
higher is not supported in the HLR, processing continues from the "No" exit of the test "Result=Pass".
The information flow for registration of call forwarding on no reply is shown in figure 3.1.

3.1.3 Activation
The same rules apply for the activation of Call Forwarding on No Reply as were described for Call Forwarding
Unconditional in clause 1.1.3 above, with the exception of the checking of interaction with other supplementary
services. Basic activation of CFNRy is illustrated in figure 3.6.

Supplementary Service Interaction

Possible interaction situations between CFNRy and other supplementary services must then be checked. This is
described in figure 3.6. Also see 3GPP TS 22.004 [2] and 3GPP TS 22.082 [3]. For interaction between CFNRy and
other supplementary services (ie not call barring or call forwarding services), the reader is referred to the respective
technical specification for those supplementary services.

CFNRy may be active simultaneously with ACR (see 3GPP TS 23.088 [12]). If CFNRy and ACR are active
simultaneously, then the ACR supplementary service shall take precedence over the CFNRy service, i.e. a call which is
terminated for the served subscriber when CLI presentation is restricted shall be rejected according to the ACR
supplementary service.

The information flow for activation of CFNRy is shown in figure 3.5.

(to mobile station)

3GPP
Release 13 58 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

3.3 Information stored in the HLR


The following logical states are applicable for CFNRy (refer to 3GPP TS 23.011 for an explanation of the notation):

Provisioning State Registration State Activation State HLR Induction State

(Not Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Registered, Active and Quiescent, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Registered, Active and Operative, Not Induced)

The registration and activation state may be different for each applicable elementary basic service group.

The provisioning state shall be on a per subscriber basis, and hence the same for all basic service groups.

The HLR shall store:

- the state of CFNRy (which shall be one of the valid states listed above) for each applicable elementary basic
service group;

- the subscription option "notification to the calling party" on a per subscriber basis;

This subscription option takes one of the following values:

- no notification;

- notification.

- the subscription option "notification to the forwarding party" on a per subscriber basis;

This subscription option takes one of the following values:

- no notification;

- notification.

- the subscription option "MSISDN of the served subscriber can be presented to the forwarded-to subscriber" on a
per subscriber basis;

This subscription option takes one of the following values:

- presentation restricted;

- presentation allowed.

- the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" (possibly including a forwarded-to sub-address) for each
applicable elementary basic service group;

- the registration parameter "no reply condition timer" for each applicable elementary basic service group.

This parameter may take values in the range 5 - 30 seconds in steps of 5 seconds.

- the default forwarded-to number (containing less than 16 digits) for each applicable elementary basic service
group.

3.4 State transition model


The following figure shows the successful cases of transition between the applicable logical states of CFNRy. The state
changes are either caused by actions of the service provider, the mobile user or the network.

3GPP
Release 13 59 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

Note that error cases are not shown in the diagram as they normally do not cause a state change. Additionally, some
successful requests may not cause a state change. Hence, they are not shown in the diagram. The diagram only shows
operations on an elementary basic service group.

Figure 3.13: State transition model for CFNRy

3.5 Transfer of information from HLR to VLR


If the provisioning state for CFNRy is "Provisioned" then, when the subscriber registers on a VLR, the HLR shall send
that VLR information about the logical state of CFNRy for all relevant elementary basic service groups.

If the registration state for CFNRy is "Registered" then, when the subscriber registers on a VLR, the HLR shall send
that VLR the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" and "no reply condition timer" for all relevant elementary
basic service groups and information about the subscription options "notification to the calling party", "notification to
the forwarding party" and "MSISDN of the served subscriber can be presented to the forwarded-to subscriber".

If the logical state, the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" or the registration parameter "no reply condition
timer" of CFNRy is changed while a subscriber is registered on a VLR then for the affected basic service groups, the
HLR shall inform the VLR respectively of the new logical state or the new registration parameter of CFNRy.

If information about the subscription options "notification to the calling party" and "notification to the forwarding
party" and "MSISDN of the served subscriber can be presented to the forwarded-to subscriber" of CFNRy is changed
while a subscriber is registered on a VLR and the registration state of CFNRy is "Registered" then the HLR shall inform
the VLR of the new information about the subscription options of CFNRy.

3.6 Information stored in the VLR


For CFNRy the VLR shall store the service state information, the registration parameter "forward-to number", the
registration parameter "no reply condition timer" and the subscription options received from the HLR.

3GPP
Release 13 60 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

3.7 Handover
Handover will have no impact on the control procedure and the operation of the service.

3.8 Cross phase compatibility


3.8.1 MS, MSC, VLR or HLR only support Phase 1 control of SS by the
subscriber
In response to a CFNRy interrogation request, if the MS or any network element involved is of Phase 1, only
information concerning basic service groups for which the activation state has the value "Active and Operative" will be
returned. This means that the subscriber will not be aware that the forwarded to number is registered if CFNRy is
deactivated or active (quiescent). A subaddress (if registered) will not be included.

Note that if any network element involved is of Phase 1, CFNRy Registration requests which use a subaddress and all
CFNRy Activation and Deactivation requests will be rejected, as these are not specified in Phase 1.

3.8.2 HLR only supports Phase 1 updating of subscriber information


If the VLR receives the SS-Status parameter from a Phase 1 HLR it shall act if it has received the SS-Status parameter
with the values shown in the following:

1) Registered, Activated => P bit =1, R bit = 1, A bit = 1, Q bit = 0;

2) Registered, Deactivated => P bit =1, R bit = 1, A bit = 0, Q bit = 0 or 1;

3) Erased => P bit =1, R bit = 0, A bit = 0, Q bit = 0 or 1.

3.8.3 VLR only supports Phase 1 updating of subscriber information


When passing CFNRy information to a Phase 1 VLR, the HLR shall send the service state information in a form which
the VLR can accept, based on the logical state held in the HLR, as follows:

1) (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

=> Erased, Deactivated;

2) (Provisioned, Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

=> Registered, Deactivated;

3) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Operative, Not Induced)

=> Registered, Activated;

4) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Quiescent, Not Induced)

=> Registered, Deactivated.

The HLR shall not pass a subaddress to a Phase 1 VLR.

3.8.4 VLR only supports Phase 1 call handling


When a call is forwarded on no reply, as the HLR does not pass the subaddress to the VLR, calls shall be forwarded
without the subaddress.

3GPP
Release 13 61 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

3.8.5 VLR does not support CAMEL or supports CAMEL Phase 1 only
When passing CFNRy information to a VLR not supporting CAMEL or supporting CAMEL Phase 1 only, the HLR
shall send the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" only if it is registered in a format which the VLR can
accept, i.e. international format.

If the registration state for CFNRy is "Registered" and the forwarded-to number is registered in a format other than
international, then when updating a VLR not supporting CAMEL or supporting CAMEL Phase 1 only the HLR shall
modify the service state information of CFNRy as follows.

1) (Provisioned, Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

=> (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

2) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Operative, Not Induced)

=> (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

3) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Quiescent, Not Induced)

=> (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

According to the definitions in clause 3.5 no forwarded-to number will be passed to the VLR in these cases. The
modification of the service state information sent to the VLR shall have no impact on the service state information
stored in the HLR.

If the VLR supports Phase 1 updating of subscriber information only, a further translation of the service state
information as defined in clause 3.8.3 shall be performed by the HLR.

3.9 Contents of messages


The same additions apply for CFNRy as for CFB, see clause 2.9 (additions to Send Routing Info and Send Routing Info
ack are not used in this case).

3.10 Support of Long Forwarded-to Numbers


The handling for early CFNRc is the same as that for CFU, see clause 1.10.

The handling for late CFNRy is the same as that for CFB, see clause 2.10.

4 Call forwarding on mobile subscriber not reachable

4.1 Handling of call forwarding on mobile subscriber not reachable


4.1.1 Registration
The same rules apply for the registration of Call Forwarding on Mobile Subscriber Not Reachable as were described for
Call Forwarding Unconditional in clause 1.1.1 above, with the exception of the checking of interaction with other
supplementary services. Basic registration of information is illustrated in figure 4.2.

Supplementary Service Interaction

Possible interaction situations between CFNRc and other supplementary services must then be checked. This is
described in figure 4.2. Also see 3GPP TS 22.004 and 3GPP TS 22.082. For interaction between CFNRc and other
supplementary services (ie not call barring or call forwarding services), the reader is referred to the respective technical
specification for those supplementary services.

3GPP
Release 13 62 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

Interaction with CAMEL Phase 2 or higher

Possible interaction between CFNRc and CAMEL Phase 2 or higher is described in figure 4.2. If CAMEL Phase 2 or
higher is not supported in the HLR, processing continues from the "No" exit of the test "Result=Pass".

The information flow for registration of call forwarding on mobile subscriber not reachable is shown in figure 4.1.

4.1.3 Activation
The same rules apply for the activation of CFNRc as were described for CFU in clause 1.1.3 above, with the exception
of the checking of interaction with other supplementary services. Basic activation of CFNRc is illustrated in figure 4.6.

Supplementary Service Interaction

Possible interaction situations between CFNRc and other supplementary services must then be checked. This is
described in figure 4.6. Also see 3GPP TS 22.004 [2] and 3GPP TS 22.082 [3]. For interaction between CFNRc and
other supplementary services (i.e. not call barring or call forwarding services), the reader is referred to the respective
technical specification for those supplementary services.

CFNRc may be active simultaneously with ACR (see 3GPP TS 23.088 [12]). If CFNRc and ACR are active
simultaneously, then the ACR supplementary service shall take precedence over the CFNRc service, i.e. a call which is
terminated for the served subscriber when CLI presentation is restricted shall be rejected according to the ACR
supplementary service.

The information flow for activation of call forwarding on MS not reachable is shown in figure 4.5.

4.1.5 Interrogation
Data request

The data request procedure enables the mobile subscriber to obtain information about the data stored in the PLMN.
Interrogation of CFNRc is handled by the VLR which returns the required information or error to the MS, see figure
4.9.

4.2 Functions and information flows


4.2.1 Call re-routed from VLR
The following Mobile Additional Function has been identified for the PLMN:

MAF010

Examination of call forwarding on mobile subscriber not reachable authorizations

The ability of a PLMN component to determine the authorizations relating to call forwarding on mobile
subscriber not reachable in case the mobile subscriber is not reachable in the VLR, in case of no paging response
or radio congestion. See figure 4.10.

Location: VLR.

The information flows for forwarding to fixed terminal and to mobile station are shown in figures 4.11 and 4.12
respectively. These flows represent the case where the mobile subscriber is not reachable in the VLR, and that this fact
was not detected at interrogation from the HLR. This situation occurs if the MSC requests the VLR to provide
information for a mobile terminating call towards a subscriber who is detached in the VLR.

Figures 4.13 and 4.14 show the information flows in case of no paging response.

Figures 4.15 and 4.16 show the information flows in case of radio congestion.

4.2.2 Call re-routed from HLR


The following Mobile Additional Function has been identified for the PLMN:

MAF010

Examination of call forwarding on mobile subscriber not reachable authorizations

The ability of a PLMN component to determine the authorizations relating to call forwarding on mobile
subscriber not reachable in case the mobile subscriber is deregistered or purged in the HLR or not reachable in
the VLR. See figure 4.10.

Location: HLR.

3GPP
Release 13 69 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

The information flows for forwarding to fixed terminal and to mobile station are shown in figures 4.17 and 4.18
respectively. These flows represent the case where the call is re-routed from the HLR because information from the
VLR indicates that the subscriber cannot be reached in the VLR. This situation occurs if the VLR detects at roaming
number request time that the subscriber concerned is detached or that there is no roaming number available.

Figures 4.19 and 4.20 show the information flows for forwarding to fixed terminal and to mobile station respectively in
case where the call is re-routed by the HLR because the subscriber is deregistered or purged in the HLR.

4.2.3 Call re-routed from HLR for Pre-Paging


If the Pre-Paging is performed by the VPLMN, in addition to clause 4.2.2, the following Mobile Additional Function
has been identified for Pre-Paging in the PLMN. In this case, the clause 4.2.1 is not identified for Pre-Paging in the
PLMN:

MAF010

Examination of call forwarding on mobile subscriber not reachable authorizations

The ability of a PLMN component to determine the authorizations relating to call forwarding on mobile
subscriber not reachable in case of no paging response or radio congestion for Pre-Paging in the VLR. See
figure 4.10.

Location: HLR.

The information flows for forwarding to fixed terminal and to mobile station are shown in figures 4.21 and 4.22
respectively. These flows represent the case where the call is re-routed from the HLR because of no paging response for
Pre-Paging from the MSC

Figures 4.23 and 4.24 show the information flows in case of radio congestion for Pre-Paging.

Figure 4.24: Information flow for call forwarding on mobile subscriber not reachable in case of radio
congestion (to mobile station) (re-routing by HLR)

4.3 Information stored in the HLR


The following logical states are applicable for CFNRc (refer to 3GPP TS 23.011 for an explanation of
the notation):

Provisioning State Registration State Activation State HLR Induction State

(Not Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Registered, Active and Quiescent, Not Induced)

(Provisioned, Registered, Active and Operative, Not Induced)

The registration and activation state may be different for each applicable elementary basic service group.

The provisioning state shall be on a per subscriber basis, and hence the same for all basic service groups.

The HLR shall store:

- the state of CFNRc (which shall be one of the valid states listed above) for each applicable elementary basic
service group;

- the subscription option "notification to the calling party" on a per subscriber basis;

This subscription option takes one of the following values:

- no notification;

- notification.

- the subscription option " MSISDN of the served subscriber can be presented to the forwarded-to subscriber" on a
per subscriber basis;

This subscription option takes one of the following values:

- presentation restricted;

- presentation allowed.

3GPP
Release 13 83 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

- the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" (possibly including a forwarded-to sub-address) for each
applicable elementary basic service group.

- the default forwarded-to number (containing less than 16 digits) for each applicable elementary basic service
group.

4.4 State transition model


The following figure shows the successful cases of transition between the applicable logical states of CFNRc. The state
changes are either caused by actions of the service provider, the mobile user or the network.

Note that error cases are not shown in the diagram as they normally do not cause a state change. Additionally, some
successful requests may not cause a state change. Hence, they are not shown in the diagram.

The diagram only shows operations on an elementary basic service group.

Figure 4.25: State transition model for CFNRc

4.5 Transfer of information from HLR to VLR


If the provisioning state for CFNRc is "Provisioned" then, when the subscriber registers on a VLR, the HLR shall send
that VLR information about the logical state of CFNRc for all relevant elementary basic service groups.

If the registration state for CFNRc is "Registered" then, when the subscriber registers on a VLR, the HLR shall send
that VLR the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" for all relevant elementary basic service groups and
information about the subscription options "notification to the calling party"" and "MSISDN of the served subscriber
can be presented to the forwarded-to subscriber".

3GPP
Release 13 84 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

If the logical state or the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" of CFNRc is changed while a subscriber is
registered on a VLR then for the affected basic service groups, the HLR shall inform the VLR respectively of the new
logical state or the new registration parameter of CFNRc.

If information about the subscription option "notification to the calling party" and "MSISDN of the served subscriber
can be presented to the forwarded-to subscriber" of CFNRc is changed while a subscriber is registered on a VLR and
the registration state of CFNRc is "Registered" then the HLR shall inform the VLR of the new information about the
subscription option of CFNRc.

4.6 Information stored in the VLR


For CFNRc the VLR shall store the service state information, the registration parameter "forward-to number" and the
subscription options received from the HLR.

4.7 Handover
Handover will have no impact on the control procedure and the operation of the service.

4.8 Cross phase compatibility


4.8.1 MS, MSC, VLR or HLR only support Phase 1 control of SS by the
subscriber
In response to a CFNRc interrogation request, if the MS or any network element involved is of Phase 1, only
information concerning basic service groups for which the activation state has the value "Active and Operative" will be
returned. This means that the subscriber will not be aware that the forwarded to number is registered if CFNRc is
deactivated or active (quiescent). A subaddress (if registered) will not be included.

Note that if any network element involved is of Phase 1, CFNRc Registration requests which use a subaddress and all
CFNRc Activation and Deactivation requests will be rejected, as these are not specified in Phase 1.

4.8.2 HLR only supports Phase 1 updating of subscriber information


If the VLR receives the SS-Status parameter from a Phase 1 HLR it shall act if it has received the SS-Status parameter
with the values shown in the following:

1) Registered, Activated => P bit =1, R bit = 1, A bit = 1, Q bit = 0;

2) Registered, Deactivated => P bit =1, R bit = 1, A bit = 0, Q bit = 0 or 1;

3) Erased => P bit =1, R bit = 0, A bit = 0, Q bit = 0 or 1.

4.8.3 VLR only supports Phase 1 updating of subscriber information


When passing CFNRc information to a Phase 1 VLR, the HLR shall send the service state information in a form which
the VLR can accept, based on the logical state held in the HLR, as follows:

1) (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

=> Erased, Deactivated;

2) (Provisioned, Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

=> Registered, Deactivated;

3) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Operative, Not Induced)

=> Registered, Activated;

3GPP
Release 13 85 3GPP TS 23.082 V13.0.0 (2015-12)

4) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Quiescent, Not Induced)

=> Registered, Deactivated.

The HLR shall not pass a subaddress to a Phase 1 VLR.

4.8.4 GMSC only supports Phase 1 call handling


When a call is forwarded on not reachable at the GMSC, the HLR shall not pass the subaddress to a Phase 1 GMSC.
Calls shall be forwarded without the subaddress.

4.8.5 VLR only supports Phase 1 call handling


When a call is forwarded on not reachable at the VMSC, as the HLR does not pass the subaddress to the VLR, calls
shall be forwarded without the subaddress.

4.8.6 VLR does not support CAMEL or supports CAMEL Phase 1 only
When passing CFNRc information to a VLR not supporting CAMEL or supporting CAMEL Phase 1 only, the HLR
shall send the registration parameter "forwarded-to number" only if it is registered in a format which the VLR can
accept, i.e. international format.

If the registration state for CFNRc is "Registered" and the forwarded-to number is registered in a format other than
international, then when updating a VLR not supporting CAMEL or supporting CAMEL Phase 1 only the HLR shall
modify the service state information of CFNRc as follows:

1) (Provisioned, Registered, Not Active, Not Induced)

=> (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced);

2) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Operative, Not Induced)

=> (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced);

3) (Provisioned, Registered, Active and Quiescent, Not Induced)

=> (Provisioned, Not Registered, Not Active, Not Induced).

According to the definitions in clause 4.5 no forwarded-to number will be passed to the VLR in these cases. The
modification of the service state information sent to the VLR shall have no impact on the service state information
stored in the HLR.

If the VLR supports Phase 1 updating of subscriber information only, a further translation of the service state
information as defined in clause 4.8.3 shall be performed by the HLR.

4.8.7 GMSC does not support CAMEL or supports CAMEL Phase 1 only
If the activation state of CFNRc is "Active and Operative" and if the forwarded-to number is registered in a format
other than international and if the GMSC does not support CAMEL or supports CAMEL Phase 1 only, then when a
request for routeing information for a mobile terminated call is received in the HLR, CFNRc shall not be invoked in the
HLR. The mobile terminated call establishment shall be continued towards the MSCb.

NOTE: CFNRc will be handled in the VLRb according to the service state information for CFNRc stored there.

4.9 Contents of messages


The same additions apply for CFNRc as for CFB, see clause 2.9.
