4 This standard addresses the interworking and interoperability between ANSI-41 MAP[1] and GSM
5 MAP[4] based networks in the support of subscribers roaming between networks. The
6 interworking and interoperability functionality of the services, information flows, and message
7 mappings are specified.
8 This standard consists of four volumes:
9 Volume 0 - Overview and Interworking Reference Model
10 Volume 1 - Service Descriptions
11 Volume 2 - Information Flows
12 Volume 3 - Message Mappings
13
14 This is Volume 0 - an overview of the Interworking and Interoperability Function (IIF) and the
15 associated network reference model.

Foreword
2
3 This foreword is not part of this standard.
4 This standard addresses the interworking and interoperability between ANSI-41 MAP and GSM
5 based networks in the support of subscribers roaming between networks. The objective of the
6 standard is to achieve fully automatic, two-way interoperability between the heterogeneous
7 networks. Services supported by this standard are described along with the associated
8 information flows and message mappings. However, not all services and associated capabilities
9 of ANSI-41 MAP and GSM MAP are supported by this standard. In general the attempt has been
10 to focus on the key subscriber services needed in the market.
11 The focus of the first release of this standard was on common GSM and ANSI-136 TDMA
12 services and associated network signaling (i.e. ANSI-41 MAP and GSM MAP). A prerequisite for
13 this interoperability is multi-mode mobile stations with an enhanced SIM card for roaming
14 between ANSI-136, GSM, and AMPS networks.
15 The first release of the standard did not define or require changes to existing ANSI-41 MAP or
16 GSM MAP to achieve the described interworking and interoperability. However, due to
17 differences between the services and associated capabilities of the MAP protocols, complete and
18 fully transparent interoperability may not have been achieved for some services. Future releases
19 of this standard may require changes to ANSI-41 MAP, GSM MAP and the associated services to
20 achieve full transparency while roaming between the different networks.
21 Additional or alternate service descriptions, information flows, and message mappings may be
22 required to support other air interfaces supported by ANSI-41 MAP (e.g., IS-95, CDMA2000).
23 This may be accomplished in a future release of this standard.
24 Aspects of TIA/EIA-136 Revision C have been incorporated into the standard.
25 Revision A adds GPRS service capability in GSM Foreign Mode.
26 Revision BC adds two way roaming between GSM and IS-95 CDMA systems. A prerequisite for
27 this interoperability is multi-mode mobile stations with an enhanced SIM card for roaming
28 between IS-95 and GSM networks.
