Nokia Parameters for NAS Mobility Management

RAN 1 supports only NMO II, where the Gs interface is not present. Consequently,
procedures such as combined GPRS attach is not supported.

RNC: PS_NMO
In Operation Mode I it is possible to have combined CS and PS side paging
via SGSN. In Operation Mode II the combined paging procedure is not
possible (and neither are combined attach procedures). Used only for the PS
domain. NMO is part of PS CN domain specific NAS System information in
SIB1.
0 (Network Mode of Operation I), 1 (Network Mode of Operation II), default: 1
RNC: CSAttachDetachAllowed
Defines whether IMSI attach and detach are allowed or not. Given only for
CS domain. This is part of CS CN domain specific NAS System information
in SIB1.
0 (UE shall not apply these procedures), 1 (MSs shall apply these
procedures);
default value: 1
RNC: CNDomainIndicator
Indicates the CN domain from which the message originates, or to which the
message will be sent. This parameter is also part of System Information
Block 1.
0 (Circuit Switched), 1 (Packet Switched)
53 NOKIA topic: MM & CM Procedures/ July 2003 /Markus Wimmer
Nokia Parameters for NAS Mobility Management

RNC: CS_T3212
The timeout value, in decihours (6 min), for periodic location updating. Given
only for CS domain. (SIB1). The value 0 is used for an infinite timeout value.
[0 ... 255] decihours, step 1 decihours; default value: 0 decihours

RNC: PS_T3313
