Test Systems - Network Registration

1. The document discusses the network registration process that a mobile device undergoes whenever it wants to obtain service from a cell. This involves updating its location information with the network through a location update request. 2. During location update, the network authenticates the mobile device's identity and can assign it a new temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI) along with encrypting user data. The TMSI is used instead of the real identity for security. 3. GPRS attach is a separate process where the mobile device informs the packet core network of its presence to prepare for data communication services. It results in the mobile being attached to the serving GPRS support node (SGSN) and authorized to activate packet data protocol

Location Update for CS / PS Domain Registration


Mobile switch on Whenever a mobile device wants to obtain service from a cell, it must make sure beforehand that its subscribers SIM can be registered for that cell. By switching on the mobile device, it directly requests to update its current location information in the network. If this is performed successfully, the network acknowledges this with a message Location Update Accept. During this process, the network can ask for the mobile devices identity and check it against reference

Ciphering Mode-Activation identity has been activated, a new Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI) assignment becomes a component of the location update. In this case enciphering of user data is activated and the new TMSI is transmitted together with the message Location Update Accept. The TMSI is used for security purposes, so that the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) does not have to be transmitted over the air interface. The TMSI is a randomly assigned identity, which is updated each time the mobile device is in motion. Network Registration Location Update GPRS Attach

GPRS Attach for mobile data connection


GPRS Attach is the process during which the mobile device informs the packet core network about its presence in the network. The device usually initiates the GPRS attach after power on. The message sent to the new Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) contains the last assigned TMSI, location area information, etc. After the GPRS Attach, procedure when the mobile device is attached to SGSN and has been authorized, the mobile device is prepared for data communication. So when the mobile starts communication, it initiates establishing of Packet Data Protocol Context (PDP context activation).
