#2 RR8R9N( message description in GPP Specs
3.2.1 ERROR_IND message is described in 3GPP 23.060:
When the SGSN receives a GTP U PDU from the RNC for which no PDP context exists, the SGSN
shall discard the GTP U PDU and send a GTP error indication to the originating RNC. The RNC
shall locall release the R!".
When the GGSN receives a GTP U PDU for which no PDP context exists, it shall discard the GTP
U PDU and ret#rn an error indication to the originating SGSN. The SGSN shall mar$ the related
PDP context as invalid and send a Deactivate PDP Context Re%#est message to the &S. The &S
ma then reactivate the PDP context.
3.2.2 And the actin i! RN" recei#e that $ind ! message is described as %e&& in
3GPP 23.00':
GTP error indication message shall 'e handled as follows(
)When the RNC receives GTP error indication from the SGSN, it shall initiate the R!" Release
*roced#re with the error ca#se +GTP Reso#rces Unavaila'le+ and shall immediatel locall release
the R!" i.e. witho#t waiting for a res*onse from the SGSN-.
)f the RNC receives a GTP error indication from the GGSN i.e. if Direct T#nnel is esta'lished-, it
shall initiate the R!" Release *roced#re with the error ca#se +GTP Reso#rces Unavaila'le+ and
immediatel locall release the R!" i.e. witho#t waiting for a res*onse from the SGSN-.
Considering one tunnel is implemented for .(G RNC* we suspect GGSN send
RR8R9N( message to RNC some times#
4 Handling process
Compare t"e signaling flow from HA SGSN and NSN SGSN* t"e difference is
discoered#
