Foreword
This second edition European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Special
Mobile Group (SMG) Technical Committee (TC) of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute
(ETSI).
This ETS defines the organisation of subscriber data for the Digital cellular telecommunications system
(Phase 2). This ETS corresponds to GSM Technical Specification (GSM-TS) GSM 03.08 version 4.8.0.
The specification from which this ETS has been derived was originally based on CEPT documentation,
hence the presentation of this ETS may not be entirely in accordance with the ETSI/PNE rules.
Reference is made within this ETS to GSM-TSs (NOTE).
Transposition dates
Date of adoption of this ETS: 4 October 1996
Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa): 31 January 1997
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this ETS (dop/e): 31 July 1997
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 31 July 1997
NOTE: TC-SMG has produced documents which give the technical specifications for the
implementation of the Digital cellular telecommunications system. Historically, these
documents have been identified as GSM Technical Specifications (GSM-TSs). These
TSs may have subsequently become I-ETSs (Phase 1), or ETSs (Phase 2), whilst
others may become ETSI Technical Reports (ETRs). GSM-TSs are, for editorial
reasons, still referred to in GSM ETSs.

Section 2 contains all details concerning the definition of the parameters, often given by reference to other
specifications, and where the parameter is to be stored.
Table 1 in section 3 gives a summary overview and section 4 identifies the reference information required
for accessing the information.
0.1 Normative references

1 Introduction
1.1 Definition
The term subscriber data is used to designate all information associated with a subscription which is
required for service provisions, identification, authentication, routing, call handling, charging, subscriber
tracing, operation and maintenance purposes. Some subscriber data are referred to as permanent
subscriber data, i.e. they can only be changed by administration means. Other data are temporary
subscriber data which may change as a result of normal operation of the system.
Unless shown to be conditional, all data items are considered to be mandatory.
1.2 Storage facilities
This Technical Specification considers subscriber data stored in two types of functional unit:
- Home location register (HLR) which contains all permanent subscriber data and all relevant
temporary subscriber data for all mobile subscribers permanently registered in the HLR.
- Visitor location register (VLR) which contains all subscriber data required for call handling and other
purposes for mobile subscribers currently located in the area controlled by the VLR.
1.3 Subscriber data in functional units other than the HLR & the VLR
The individual Subscriber Authentication Key Ki defined in Technical Specification GSM 03.20 is stored in
the Authentication Centre AuC; it is also stored in the SIM and therefore available in the MS. Version
numbers of algorithms A3 and A8 may also be stored in the AuC.
NOTE: It is for further study whether or not other types of functional units containing mobile
subscriber parameters are to be included in this Recommendation. Such units could
include encryption key distribution centres, maintenance centres, etc.

2 Definition of subscriber data
2.1 Data related to identification and numbering
2.1.1 International mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)
International mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) is defined in TS GSM 03.03.
IMSI is permanent subscriber data. IMSI is stored in both HLR and VLR.
2.1.2 Mobile Station International ISDN Number (MSISDN)
Mobile Station International ISDN Number (MSISDN) is defined in TS GSM 03.03.
The MSISDN number is permanent subscriber data and is stored in both HLR and VLR.
If the multinumbering option applies, the MSISDN stored in the VLR is the Basic MSISDN, see
section 2.1.3.1.
2.1.3 MSISDNs for multinumbering option
If the HPLMN allocates different MSISDNs for different Basic Services (see TS GSM 09.07), these
numbers are conditionally stored as permanent data in the HLR.
2.1.3.1 The Basic MSISDN Indicator
The Basic MSISDN is defined in TS GSM 03.12. The Basic MSISDN indicator marks the MSISDN to be
used as Basic MSISDN.
It is permanent subscriber data stored conditionally in the HLR.
2.1.3.2 The MSISDN-Alert Indicator
The MSISDN-Alert is defined in TS GSM 03.40. The MSISDN-Alert indicator marks the MSISDN to be
used as MSISDN-Alert.
It is permanent subscriber data stored conditionally in the HLR.
2.1.4 Temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI)
Temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI) is defined in TS GSM 03.03.
The TMSI is temporary subscriber data and is conditionally stored in the VLR.
2.1.5 Local Mobile Station Identity (LMSI)
Local Mobile Station Identity (LMSI) is defined in TS GSM 03.03. The LMSI is temporary subscriber data.
The LMSI may be stored in the VLR; if it is received in the HLR it must be stored there.
2.2 Data related to Mobile Station types
2.2.1 Mobile Station Category
Mobile Station Category has a structure identical to that of "Calling Party's Category" defined in ISUP
(CCITT Recommendation Q.763).
The following values of category shall be supported:
- ordinary subscriber.
The category is assigned per IMSI.

SIST ETS 300 526 E2:2003
Page 11
ETS 300 526 (GSM 03.08 Version 4.8.0): October 1996
Mobile Station Category is permanent subscriber data and is stored in HLR and VLR.
2.3 Data related to authentication and ciphering
2.3.1 Random Number (RAND), Signed Response (SRES) and Ciphering Key (Kc)
Random Number (RAND), Signed Response (SRES) and Ciphering Key (Kc) form a triplet of vectors
used for auth
...
