LTE: Extended Service Request

Ø      The EXTENEDED SERVICE REQUEST message is sent by the UE to the network to initiate a "CS fallback or 1xCS fallback call" or respond to an "MT CS fallback or 1xCS fallback" request from the network

Ø     This message is also used if the UE wants to request the establishment of a NAS signalling connection (and of the radio and S1 bearers) for packet services and if the UE needs to provide additional information that cannot be provided via a SERVICE REQUEST message

Ø    The UE shall send  EXTENEDED SERVICE REQUEST message 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 received over E-UTRAN

h)    The UE, in EMM-IDLE mode, has uplink cdma2000^® signalling pending to be transmitted over E-UTRAN

i)        The UE, in EMM-IDLE or EMM-CONNECTED mode, is configured to use 1xCS fallback, accepts cdma2000^® signalling messages containing a 1xCS paging request received over cdma2000^® 1xRTT, and the network supports dual Rx CSFB or provide CS fallback registration parameters

j)        The UE, in EMM-IDLE or EMM-CONNECTED mode, has uplink cdma2000^® signalling pending to be transmitted over cdma2000^® 1xRTT, and the network supports dual Rx CSFB or provide CS fallback registration parameters

k)    The UE performs an inter-system change from S101 mode to S1 mode and has user data pending

NOTE:      For cases a, b, c, h and k above, the EXTENEDED SERVICE REQUEST message is used only if the UE is configured for NAS signalling low priority and the network supports EXTENEDED SERVICE REQUEST for packet services. Otherwise, SERVICEREQUEST is used

Ø     Upon receipt of the EXTENDED SERVICE REQUEST message, the MME may initiate the EMM common procedures e.g. the authentication procedure and security mode control procedure

Ø      The Service type IE specifies the purpose of the service request procedure. This IE can indicate “mobile originating CS fallback or 1xCS fallback” or “mobile terminating CS fallback or 1xCS fallback” or “mobile originating CS fallback emergency call or 1xCS fallback emergency call”, or “packet services via S1”

Ø     The purpose of the CSFB response IE is to indicate whether the UE accepts or rejects a paging for CSFB. The IE’s values could be either “CS fallback rejected by the UE” or “CS fallback accepted by the UE” (see example2 below)

Ø     The IE EPS bearer context status shall be included if the UE wants to indicate the EPS bearer contexts that are active within the UE

Ø     The UE shall include the IE Device properties if the UE is configured for NAS signalling low priority. The network uses this IE for core-network congestion handling and for charging purposes
