Fault
The TMSI is reallocated due to RR connection failure on the network side.
Probable Causes
If the RR connection fails before the TMSI Reallocation Complete message is received, all MM
connections should be released and both the old and the new TMSIs should be considered as
occupied for a certain recovery time.
Handling Suggestions
No handling is required.
Fault
The network releases the RR connection.
Probable Causes
The TMSI reallocation is supervised by the timer T3250 in the network. At the first expiry of
timer T3250, the network releases the RR connection. In this case, the network aborts the
reallocation procedure, releases all MM connections, and follows the rules for RR connection
failure.
Handling Suggestions
The BSC does no special processing.
