Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by the 3 Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
The present document specifies Information element mapping between Mobile Station - Base Station System
(MS - BSS) and Base Station System - Mobile-services Switching Centre (BSS - MSC) Signalling procedures and the
Mobile Application Part (MAP) within the digital cellular telecommunications system.
The contents of the present document are subject to continuing work within the TSG and may change following formal
TSG approval. Should the TSG modify the contents of the present document, it will be re-released by the TSG with an
identifying change of release date and an increase in version number as follows:Version x.y.z
where:
x the first digit:
1 presented to TSG for information;
2 presented to TSG for approval;
3 or greater indicates TSG approved document under change control.
y the second digit is incremented for all changes of substance, i.e. technical enhancements, corrections,
updates, etc.z the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the document.

1 Scope
The scope of the present document is:
i) to provide a detailed specification for the interworking between information elements contained in layer 3
messages sent on the MS-MSC interface (Call Control and Mobility Management parts of 3GPP TS 24.008 [4])
and parameters contained in MAP services sent over the MSC-VLR interface (3GPP TS 29.002 [9]) where the
MSC acts as a transparent relay of information;ii) to provide a detailed specification for the interworking between information elements contained in BSSMAP
messages sent on the BSC-MSC interface (3GPP TS 48.008 [12]) and parameters contained in MAP services
sent over the MSC-VLR interface (3GPP TS 29.002 [9]) where the MSC acts as a transparent relay of
information;iii) to provide a detailed specification
