Description

INTRODUCTION

This Standard was prepared by Technical Specification Group C of
the Third Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2).This Standard
presents recommendations for supporting a mobile station equipped
with a Mobile Equipment IDentifier (MEID) [10] in the OTASP Systems
defined in [2], [3], [4] and [5].

The OTASP feature allows a potential wireless service subscriber
to activate (i.e., become authorized for) new wireless service, and
allows an existing wireless subscriber to make changes in existing
services without the intervention of a third party.

For the initial provisioning, the Electronic Serial Number (ESN)
is used to identify the mobile station. ESN is a 32-bit number
assigned by the mobile station manufacturer, uniquely identifying
the mobile station equipment. Due to the ESN exhaustion, the MEID
was introduced in the cdma2000^®1 systems as the
alternative to ESN for new mobile stations complying with [7].

During the migration period from ESN to MEID, Pseudo-ESN is used
by the MEID15 equipped mobile stations. Pseudo-ESN is a 32-bit
number derived from MEID and used in place of ESN. For the
provisioning, however, Pseudo-ESN may not be used to uniquely
identify a particular mobile station since Pseudo-ESN is not
unique.

In order to solve this problem, the following new capability is
introduced in this Standard.

• Enhanced Protocol Capability Messaging – This provides the
means for the base station to ascertain the detailed capabilities
of the mobile station, such as supported band classes, operating
modes, and MEID.

This Standard uses the same structure and section numbering as
[2], [3], [4] and [5], except for all the references. Sections of
this Standard that remain unchanged relative to [2], [3], [4] and
[5] are represented using ellipses contained within brackets
([…]). Modified sections are either reproduced in their entirety
or use the […] notation to represent unchanged portions. Within
modified sections, change bars indicate the specific paragraphs,
figures, or table cells that have changed. Within modified
paragraphs and table cells, strike-throughs indicate deleted text
and underlines indicate new text.
