28、his Technical Report provides background information, motivations, concepts and requirements regarding an extended Network Assisted Cell Change (NACC) feature for external cell change support. Cell change between GERAN and UTRAN cells is outside the scope of this report, although consideration has b

29、een taken in order to allow an easier extensibility to that case. The extension is based on the Release 4 version of the NACC feature where the mobile station is only supported by the NACC when performing internal cell re-selection, i.e. within a BSC. The extension of the feature is for GERAN just a

30、ffecting BSS and for the core network the SGSN and signalling links between these network nodes. To support cell changes between GERAN and UTRAN, also the Um and the Uu interfaces are affected. The evolved Release 4 NACC proposal as described in this TR provides the basis for the detailed Stage 2 an

31、d stage 3 specification work. The feature will be developed in a phased approach and a longer-term vision is presented in the report. The focus of the TR is to: - Define the requirements on different nodes - Specify the requirements for the interfaces - Propose a plan for the work item project - Eva

41、N or Iur 4.4.2 Short Technical Description For fast reselection of cells, the MS needs to have knowledge of certain system information of the target cell before performing the cell change. If the cells then belong to different BSCs/RNCs, the required system information has to be transported between

42、BSCs/RNCs when updated to be made available to the MSs when re-selecting cells. The required system information is proposed to be packed into a container within a new RAN-INFORMATION message that may be sent on the Iur-g interface or routed via the Core Network (by one or more SGSNs) from the origin

43、 to the target RAN node. The information in the container shall be transparent for the Core Network. When system information is received, the target BSC/RNC can be ordered to acknowledge the information. If the acknowledgement is requested but not received by the source BSC/RNC, it is an implementat

44、ion option how to perform retransmission. When system information is received, the information can optionally be associated with a validity timer. After the validity timer expiration the associated system information shall not be used for immediate initial access in the new cell. A BSC/RNC may reque

45、st another BSC/RNC to respond with one or multiple RAN-INFORMATION messages or to stop transmission of event driven messages. 5 Requirements 5.1 Architectural Requirements In order to fulfil all the traffic cases as listed in Table 4.1.1.b, the BSC, the RNC and the SGSN nodes are all affected. The i

46、nterfaces which requires update are Um, Uu, Gb, Iu, Gn and Iur-g. The Table 5.1.a below lists the required changes for the different cases.
