1 Core network aspects

9.9 Public services issues

FMC is required to provide all the means to support public interest services required by regulations or laws
of relevant national or regional administrations and international treaties. This includes requirements for:
• lawful interception;
• malicious communication identification;
• unsolicited bulk telecommunications;
• emergency telecommunications;
• location information related to emergency telecommunication;
• user identity presentation and privacy;

• network or service provider selection;
• users with disabilities;
• number portability; and
• service unbundling.

9.10 Network selection

FMC is required to support that a provider is able to define the preferred access network for service delivery
in case the user has both fixed and mobile coverage. A user may indicate via the terminal device the preferred
access network for access to services.

The provider defines the policy regarding when handover between access networks is required to occur.
For example, an ongoing communication over a mobile access network may be switched to a wire-based
access technology for connection when it is determined that the terminal has moved to a location where it
is able to access the service via fixed coverage.

9.11 Location identification
FMC is required to support the ability to identify a user's location, and offers the location information to
location-related services when the end user has given permission, and this is subject to public service
requirements.

The resolution of location information is dependent on the capabilities of the access technology.
FMC is required to harmonize the different location identification mechanisms from existing networks.

9.12 Personalized configuration

FMC is required to support the ability to provide personalized services according to a user's requirement.
NOTE – This capability may be implemented through a network-based profile which can be customized by the user
within defined limits and such that all services work well according to the indications in the profile.

9.13 Personal data network storage
FMC is required to store personal data on behalf of (or with permission by) the end user. It is required that
the end user is able to access and manipulate those personal data through one of the user's various terminal
devices.

For example, FMC can store a contact address book on behalf of (or with permission by) the end user. The
end user can utilize this address book from different terminal devices thereby avoiding multiple independent
and unsynchronized address books for the different terminal devices the end user may have.
