CC: The reason for the last call release in the Call Control sub-layer.
MM: The reason for the last call release at the Mobility Management sub-layer.
RR: The reason for the last call release at the Radio Resource sub-layer.
This test allows the user to see in more detail the reason a particular call ended, and at
which sub-layer of the layer 3 protocol it occurred in. The layers of the GSM system
on the MS-BTS interface are described in GSM 04.04 (layer 1), GSM 04.05, GSM
04.06 (layer 2), GSM 04.07, GSM 04.08 (layer 3).
The individual cause values are described in Annex F (RR), Annex G (MM) and
Annex H (CC) of GSM 04.08, however, the more common ones are summarized
below:
Radio Resource:
- 0 – Normal release of RR connection.
- 1 – Abnormal release, reason not specified
- 2 – Channel unacceptable
- 3 – Timer expiry (one of the timers expired and the connection was released)
- 4 – No activity on radio path (the BTS does not detect transmission when there is
supposed to be)
- 5 – Preemptive release
- *8 – Handover impossible; timing advance (TA) out of range
- *9 – Channel mode unacceptable (MS cannot support the channel configuration
assigned by the network)
- 65 – Call already cleared – the handover failed as the connection had already been
released
Causes 95-111 are associated with protocol error
- 95 – Semantically incorrect message
- 96 – Invalid mandatory information
- 97 – Message type non-existent or not implemented
- 98 – Message type not compatible with protocol state
- 100 – Conditional IE error
- 101 – No cell allocation available
- 111 – Protocol error unspecified
* These causes are sent to the network, otherwise the cause is sent by the network (in
CHANNEL RELEASE message)
Mobility Management:
- 2 – IMSI unknown in HLR – The IMSI is not known by the network
- 3 – Illegal MS – the MS is refused service as the authentication failed
- 4 – IMSI unknown in VLR
- 5 – IMEI not accepted – network does not allow emergency calls using IMEI as
identification
- 6 – Illegal ME – sent when the network does not accept the IMEI, i.e. due to stolen
phone blacklisting
- 11 – PLMN not allowed – used when the MS attempts location updating and the
network forbids it to
- 12 – Location area not allowed – used when the MS attempts location updating in an
area the network forbids it to
- 13 – Roaming not allowed in this area – used when the MS attempts location updating
in an area it is roaming and the network forbids it to.
- 17 – Network failure – the network sends this if a fault has developed in the network
- 22 – Congestion – the network sends this if the network has become too congested to
proceed
- 32 – Service option not supported – the network sends this in a CM SERVICE
REJECT message when the MS requests an unsupported service in the CM SERVICE
REQUEST message.
- 33 – Service option not allowed due to subscription – the network sends this in a CM
SERVICE REJECT message when the MS requests a service it does not have a
subscription to (i.e. not enabled on the subscriber's account)
- 34 – Service option temporarily not available – the network sends this in a CM
SERVICE REJECT message when the MS requests a service that is temporarily
unavailable due to technical failure
- 38 – Call cannot be identified – This cause is sent when the MS attempts to re-
establish an MM connection after a radio-link failure, however the network was
unable to associate the request with the failed connection
Causes 95-111 are associated with protocol error
- 95 – Semantically incorrect message
- 96 – Invalid mandatory information
- 97 – Message type non-existent or not implemented
- 98 – Message type not compatible with protocol state
- 100 – Conditional IE error
- 101 – No cell allocation available
- 111 – Protocol error unspecified
Call Control:
Normal causes:
- 16 – Normal call clearing – the call was cleared because one of the users requested it
to be cleared
- 17 – User busy – the called user indicated he was unable to take the call (i.e. rejected
the call)
- 18 – No user responding – the called user’s equipment did not respond
- 19 – No answer – the called user’s equipment responded, but the user failed to answer
it
- 21 – Call rejected – the call was rejected as the equipment was not technically able to
receive the call
- 22 – Number changed – the called number no longer exists. The new number may
optionally be returned with this cause
- 25 – Preemption – the network released the call in order to free resources for a call of
higher priority
- 27 – Destination out of order – The called party cannot be released because of a
technical failure at the destination user’s end of the connection
- 28 – Invalid number format – the phone number was not a valid format
- 31 – Unspecified normal clearing (used when causes 1-28 do not apply)
Resource unavailable causes:
- 34 – No circuit/channel available – phone displays ‘Network Busy’
- 38 – Network out of order – A failure in the network stopped the call, and it is likely
to last for a while, such as that re-attempting the call is not likely to work
- 41 – Temporary failure – a failure in the network stopped the call, but it is likely to
last only a short time, suggesting to re-attempt the call
- 42 – Switching equipment congestion – congestion in the switching equipment
stopped the call
- 44 – Requested circuit/channel not available – no resources available to the remote
user
- 47 – Resource unavailable due to unspecified reason (used when causes 34-44 do not
apply)
Service/option unavailable causes:
- 49 – Quality of service not available
- 55 – Incoming calls barred within Closed User Group – incoming calls are not
allowed in this CUG
- 57 – Bearer capability not authorized – the MS requested a bearer capability it is not
authorized to use
- 58 – Bearer capability not presently available – the MS requested a bearer capability
that is not available at the time of request
- 63 – Service or option not available due to unspecified reason (used when causes 49-
58 do not apply). I have noticed this when trying to make a call on Line 2, trying to
make a data call on an account without data service, etc.
Service/option not implemented causes:
- 65 – Bearer service not implemented – the equipment sending the cause does not
support the bearer capability requested
- 69 – Requested facility not implemented – the equipment sending the cause does not
support the supplementary service requested
- 70 – Only restricted digital information bearer capability is available – the equipment
sending this cause only supports a restricted version of the requested (unrestricted)
bearer capability
- 79 – Service or option not implemented due to unspecified reason (used when causes
65-70 do not apply)
Invalid message causes:
- 81 – Invalid Transaction Identifier (TI) – invalid transaction identifier received (a
value in the layer 3 header which uniquely identifies a connection amongst the stream
of data)
- 87 – User not member of CUG (Closed User Group) – The called user for the CUG
call is not a member of that CUG
- 88 – Incompatible destination – the sender of this cause cannot meet the establishment
requirements requested
- 95 – Semantically incorrect message – the sender of this cause has received a message
with semantically incorrect contents
Causes 96-111 are associated with protocol error
- 96 – Invalid mandatory information
- 97 – Message type non-existent or not implemented
- 98 – Message type not compatible with protocol state
- 100 – Conditional IE error
- 101 – No cell allocation available
- 111 – Protocol error unspecified
