scope:

The present document defines the stage-2 description of the mechanism to provide the 3GPP network entities with UE Specific Behaviour Information (UESBI). UESBI may be used by correcting mechanisms to overcome some of the issues that have been recognized by 3GPP in TR 25.994 (Measures employed by the UMTS Radio Access Network (UTRAN) to overcome early User Equipment (UE) implementation faults) [13], and other such documents. The description of these correcting mechanisms is out of the scope of this TS.

ITU-T Recommendation I.130 [1] describes a three-stage method for characterisation of telecommunication services, and ITU-T Recommendation Q.65 [2] defines stage 2 of the method.

Editor's note: some text within this TS is dependent on future GERAN and SA2 decisions, as described below:

Text with this colour background (yellow?) in this TS is dependent upon a GERAN decision on whether the transfer of UESBI-Iu is applicable on the A interface.

Text in Annex B should be moved to clause 6, which part to move is depends upon SA2's decision to select one or both of the solutions to map IMEISV to UESBI-Iu
