What is TIR?

From 3GPP TS 24.608:

The Terminating Identification Restriction (TIR) is a service offered to the terminating party which enables the terminating party to prevent presentation of the terminating identity information to originating party.

Prerequisite features

These features must run before TIR:

Network operator data

TIR’s Network Operator Data is held in a JSLEE configuration profile table named MMTelTIRConfigProfileTable. This data is scoped by sentinel selection key — each network operator has one entry in the table.

Attribute Name

Type

 
TIRMode (deprecated, present in `MMTelTIRServiceData`)

An enum with values PERMANENT, and TEMPORARY.

Fully qualified class name is
com.opencloud.volte.sentinel.simservs.xcap.IdentityPresentationModeType

Session input variables

Variable name Type Comments 
bxref:mmtel-subscriber-data-representation#mmteltirservicedata[MMTelTIRServiceData]

Complex

Loaded from the HSS in SubscriberDataLookupFromHSS or from HLR in SubscriberDataLookupFromHLR

Session output variables

Variable name Type Comments 
RanTir

boolean

Signals to other features that TIR ran on this session.

Statistics

MMTelTIR statistics are tracked by the sentinel.volte.sip SBB and can be found under the following parameter set in REM:
SLEE-Usage → sentinel.volte.sip service → sentinel.volte.sip SBB → feature → MMTelTIR
or with rhino-stats:
SLEE-Usage → [sentinel.volte.sip service name] → [sentinel.volte.sip SBB name] → .feature.MMTelTIR

Statistic Incremented when…​ 
Started

the feature runs

 
FailedToStart

Sentinel VoLTE encounters an error while attempting to start the feature

 
IssuedWarning

a non-fatal problem is encountered and the feature issues a warning

 
FailedDuringExecution

a fatal problem is encountered and the feature cannot execute correctly

 
TimedOut

the feature takes too long to complete and Sentinel VoLTE aborts execution

 
ProcessingResponse

the feature processes a SIP response

 
ProcessingRequest

the feature processes a SIP request

 
FromChangeTagRemoved

the feature removes the from-change tag from a Supported header in the outgoing SIP message

 
ReceivedMalformedPrivacyHeader

a non-standard Privacy header is found in an incoming SIP message

 
PrivacyHeaderChanged

the feature changes the contents of the Privacy header on an outgoing SIP message

 
FallbackToNetworkDefaultServiceConfig

incremented when the feature uses the network default service configuration as the session state does not contain the feature specific subscriber service data.

Behaviour

If operator data is not present, the TIR feature:

  1. Increments an error statistic.

  2. Logs a message at the Fine level.

  3. Informs the Sentinel core that the feature is not configured appropriately (Invalid Configuration).

  4. Exits.

If MMTelTIRServiceData.OperatorAuthorized is false, the feature finishes execution without modifying any state.

TEMPORARY

B-Party Responses

Yes

 
PRESENTATION_RESTRICTED

If a response does not contain a Privacy header, insert a Privacy with value set to id.

If the response contains a Privacy header and the value is set to none, the AS shall leave the value unchanged.

If the response contains a Privacy header with a value other than none, and if the value that does not include id, then add value id.

PERMANENT

INVITE

Yes

 
Behave as though `PRESENTATION_RESTRICTED`, regardless of tge configuration value.

If INVITE contains an option-tag from-change, remove the option-tag and forward to B party

PERMANENT

B-Party Responses

Yes

 
Behave as though `PRESENTATION_RESTRICTED` regardless of configuration value

If a response does not contain a Privacy header, insert a Privacy with value set to id.

If the response contains a Privacy header and the value is set to none, the AS shall replace the value with the value id.

If the response contains a Privacy header with a value other than none, and if the value that does not include id, then add value id.

Graceful handling of originating access

TIR is a terminating feature. It will finish execution without modifying any state if it is invoked in an originating attempt.
