Why do use IMSI for calculating the Paging Frame(PF) and not S-TMSI?

PF= SFN mod T = (T div N ) * (UE_ID mod N)

Where UE_ID= IMSI mod 1024.

IMSI is more predictable number for the MME all the cases and in certain cases S-TMSI may not be there (allocated at the time of LTE-ATTACH)

Why core network contains IMSI in MS identity IE of combined attach accept, why not new TMSI?

In TS 24.301 5.5.1.3.4.2, if combined attach is success(i.e Combined attach successful for both EPS services and non-EPS), why core network contains IMSI in MS identity IE of combined attach accept, and why not just allocate a new TMSI?
In what situation will core network use IMSI in MS identity?

In an operator sharing environment how new operator will get the IMSI and other Identity from other network HSS?

Because your identity will be registered in Home HSS and while roaming how other operator will get these information

LTE: Why IMSI is modulated with 1024 to get the UE_ID which is used for the evaluation for paging frame ?

There are two things related to paging 1) paging frame 2) paging occasion.
To get the paging frame UE_ID is used provided by the MME to eNodeB.
Now I have question why 1024 is used to get UE_ID. UE_ID = IMSI % 1024
