This procedure is one of the EMM connection management procedures. The purpose of the service request procedure is to transfer the EMM mode from EMM-IDLE to EMM-CONNECTED mode and establish the radio and S1 bearers when uplink user data or signalling is to be sent. Another purpose of this procedure is to invoke MO(mobile Originated/MT(Mobile Terminated) CS fallback procedures.
This procedure is used when:
- the network has downlink signalling pending;
- the UE has uplink signalling pending;
- the UE or the network has user data pending and the UE is in EMM-IDLE mode;
- the UE in EMM-IDLE or EMM-CONNECTED mode has requested to perform mobile originating/terminating CS fallback;
- the network has downlink cdma2000® signalling pending; or
- the UE has uplink cdma2000® signalling pending.
The service request procedure is initiated by the UE, however, for the downlink transfer of signalling, cdma2000® signalling or user data in EMM-IDLE mode, the trigger is given by the network by means of the paging procedure.
The UE invokes the service request procedure when:
a) the UE in EMM-IDLE mode receives a paging request with CN domain indicator set to "PS" from the network;
b) the UE, in EMM-IDLE mode, has pending user data to be sent;
c) the UE, in EMM-IDLE mode, has uplink signalling pending;
d) the UE in EMM-IDLE or EMM-CONNECTED mode is configured to use CS fallback and has a mobile originating CS fallback request from the upper layer;
e) the UE in EMM-IDLE mode is configured to use CS fallback and receives a paging request with CN domain indicator set to "CS", or the UE in EMM-CONNECTED mode is configured to use CS fallback and receives a CS SERVICE NOTIFICATION message;
f) the UE in EMM-IDLE or EMM-CONNECTED mode is configured to use 1xCS fallback and has a mobile originating 1xCS fallback request from the upper layer;
g) the UE in EMM-CONNECTED mode is configured to use 1xCS fallback and accepts cdma2000® signalling messages containing a 1xCS paging request; or
h) the UE, in EMM-IDLE mode, has uplink cdma2000® signalling pending.
If one of the above criteria to invoke the service request procedure is fulfilled, then the service request procedure may only be initiated by the UE when the following conditions are fulfilled:
- its EPS update status is EU1 UPDATED, and the TAI of the current serving cell is included in the TAI list; and
- no EMM specific procedure is ongoing.
If the UE has pending uplink data or uplink signalling in EMM-IDLE mode to be transmitted or it responds to paging with CN domain indicator set to "PS", the UE initiates the service request procedure by sending a SERVICE REQUEST message to the MME, and enters the state EMM-SERVICE-REQUEST-INITIATED.
For case d, the UE shall send an EXTENDED SERVICE REQUEST message, start T3417ext and enter the state EMM-SERVICE-REQUEST-INITIATED.
For case e:
- if the UE is in EMM-IDLE mode, the UE shall send an EXTENDED SERVICE REQUEST message, and enter the state EMM-SERVICE-REQUEST-INITIATED;
- if the UE is in EMM-CONNECTED mode and if the UE accepts the paging, the UE shall send an EXTENDED SERVICE REQUEST message with the CSFB response IE indicating "CS fallback accepted by the UE", and enter the state EMM-SERVICE-REQUEST-INITIATED;
- if the UE is in EMM-CONNECTED mode and if the UE rejects the paging, the UE shall send an EXTENDED SERVICE REQUEST message with the CSFB response IE indicating "CS fallback rejected by the UE" and enter the state EMM-REGISTERED.NORMAL-SERVICE. The network should not initiate CS fallback procedures.
For cases f and g, the UE shall send an EXTENDED SERVICE REQUEST message, and enter the state EMM-SERVICE-REQUEST-INITIATED.
