Hi,

            Let me participate in the discussion to improve my
understanding.
            If I see well the new TLLI (after changing by Attach Accept for
example)  may be obtained from the first RLC data block belonging to the UL
TBF allocated for Attach Complete transfer (in the case of resource request
on RACH) or from still existing DL TBF context   (in the case the channel
request is included in PACCH downlink packet ack/nack) where it has to be
updated on P-TMSI change. For paging group choosing in the later stage
(after attaching procedure) it's enough that IMSI is known in SGSN and
 delivered to pcu with the downlink packets.

Regards,
Vladimir.
