The network initiates the TMSI reallocation procedure by sending a TMSI Reallocation
Command message to the MS and starts the timer T3250. The TMSI Reallocation Command
message contains a new combination of TMSI and LAI allocated by the network or a
combination of a LAI and the IMSI if the used TMSI is deleted. Usually the TMSI
Reallocation Command message is sent to the MS through an RR connection in ciphered
mode. :

Upon receipt of the TMSI Reallocation Command message, the MS stores the LAI in the
SIM. If the received identity is the IMSI of the relevant MS, the MS deletes any TMSI. If
the received identity is a TMSI, the MS stores the TMSI in the SIM. In the previous two
cases, the MS sends a TMSI Reallocation Complete message to the network.
Upon receipt of the TMSI Reallocation Complete message, the network stops the timer
T3250. If a TMSI was sent to the MS, the network considers the new TMSI as valid. If
an IMSI was sent to the MS, the network considers the old TMSI as deleted.

Probable Causes
If the RR connection is lost 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. :
During this period, the network can:
z
Use the IMSI for paging if the MS is the called party. Upon response from the MS, the
TMSI reallocation is restarted.
Use the identification procedure followed by a new TMSI reallocation if the MS uses the
old TMSI.
Troubleshooting
No special processing is needed by the BSC.
Probable Causes
In the network, the timer T3250 detects the TMSI reallocation procedure. When the timer
T3250 expires for the first time, the network releases the RR connection. In this case, the
network shall abort the reallocation procedure and release all MM connections. You need to
follow the rules described for RR connection failure.
Troubleshooting
No special processing is required by the BSC.
