LTE Attach type

3GPP 24301: 5.5.1.1

The attach procedure is used to attach to an EPC for packet services in EPS.

The attach procedure is used for three purposes:

  • · by a UE in PS mode of operation to attach for EPS services only;
  • · by a UE in CS/PS mode 1 or CS/PS mode 2 of operation to attach for both EPS and non-EPS services; or
  • · to attach for emergency bearer services.

The Attach Type indicates the purpose of the attach and as in most of other procedure, the attach type is also determined by a kind of mutual agreement between UE and Network. It means that UE indicates the attach type I want to get and Network finally determines available attach type and informs it to UE as in following procedure.

There are three different types of attach as listed below.

  • · EPS attach : indicate the attach for EPS services only)
  • · Combined EPS/IMSI attach  : indicate the attach for both EPS and non-EPS services
  • · EPS emergency attach : indicate the attach for emergency bearer services

Direction

Message

UE --> NW

RRC : RRC Connection Setup Complete + NAS : Attach Request + ESM : PDN Connectivity Request

UE <-- NW

RRC : RRC Connection Reconfiguration + NAS : Attach Accept + NAS : Activate Default EPS Bearer Context Req

 

备注

Combined EPS/IMSI attach

· UMTS存在Combined attach, 是指同时进行CS和PS的注册;

· LTE只有PS,进行Combined attach的目的是什么呢?

是指UE同时进行LTE 和非LTE (WCDMA/GSM)网络的注册,目的是为了CS-Fallback. 如果UE支持Voice over IMS,则无需进行Combined attach.

### LTE Combined Attach Process Overview In the context of mobile networks, an LTE combined attach procedure allows a User Equipment (UE) to simultaneously connect to both EPS (Evolved Packet System) and another system such as UMTS or GSM. This dual connectivity ensures seamless service continuity across different network technologies. When initiating a combined attach request, the UE sends an `Attach Request` message that includes specific information elements indicating support for multiple radio access technologies (RATs). The MME (Mobility Management Entity) processes this request by verifying subscription data from HSS (Home Subscriber Server), establishing default bearers through SGW (Serving Gateway) and PGW (Packet Data Network Gateway), while also coordinating with other core network nodes like SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node)[^1]. If successful, the MME responds back to the UE with an `Attach Accept`, configuring necessary parameters including QoS profiles, IP addresses assigned via DHCP/PDN connection setup procedures. Upon receiving confirmation (`Attach Complete`) from the device, full communication capabilities are established between all involved systems[^1]. For troubleshooting common issues during combined attachment: - **Authentication Failures**: Verify correct configuration of security algorithms supported on both ends. - **Bearer Setup Delays**: Check signaling paths involving SGi interface latency or potential congestion at PDN GW level. - **Inter-RAT Handover Problems**: Ensure proper neighbor cell configurations exist within RAN settings along with accurate PLMN selection criteria set inside devices' firmware/software versions. ```python def lte_combined_attach(): """ Simulate simplified steps in LTE combined attach process. Note: Actual implementation involves complex protocols not covered here. """ # Step simulation starts... print("Sending Attach Request...") response = receive_response() if "Accept" in response: configure_parameters(response) send_confirmation() print("Combined Attach Successful!") else: handle_error(response) lte_combined_attach() ```
