they are the same then the procedure will continue!
18( '+*+,( Security Mode Command
MSC32(# sends the Security Mode Command to start Ciphering and Integrity )rotection! Ciphering is optional while Integrity
)rotection is mandatory! The Algorithms% etc are 1nown to the MSC32(# and the UE and only the ones that are common between
them are used!
19( ''C( Security Mode Command
##C 'orwards the Security Mode command recei"ed from MSC32(# to the UE!
&:( ''C( Security Mode Complete
The UE configures the Ciphering and Integity )rotection and responds bac1 to the networ1! The response message is Integrity
)rotected for further safety! Ciphering is started at Ciphering acti"ation time! Since this is a Circuit switched call% the Ciphering will
be started in MAC! In case of AM and UM bearers it is started in #(C!
&1( '+*+,( Security Mode COmplete
The networ1 forwards the Security Mode Complete message to MSC32(#!
&&( '+*+,( 6irect Trans!er ;TMS 'eallocation Command=
The networ1 may decide to re5allocate the TMSI to the UE! It sends a .T message which includes the &AS TMSI #eallocation
Command!
&3( ''C( 6- 6irect Trans!er ;TMS 'eallocation Command=
The #&C relays the .T message to the UE!
&/( ''C( U- 6irect T'ans!er ;TMS 'eallocation Complete=
The UE ta1es the new TMSI and responds with the Complete message
&0( '+*+,( 6irect Trans!er ;TMS 'eallocation Complete=
