“MIN-based IMSI” to“True IMSI” Migration Guidelines Alain Bouvier alain.bouvier@ericsson.com CDG International Roaming Team Meeting Whistler, CAN, September 20-21, 2005
Table of Content • Requirements • Team Composition • Standards and Mobile Identity • Access Channel PDUs’ Addressing • VLR Addressing • Core Network Signaling • IMSI Numbering Plan “ESC Code” • Recommendations • Next Step TAKING YOU FORWARD
Requirements • EDUCATE / INFORMProvide a general understanding of CDMA mobile networks in the context of the mobile station identity: • “MIN-based IMSI” – Historical and Technical Overview; • CDMA Standards Overview (IS-95/IS-2000, IOS/IS-2001, ANSI/IS-41); • Radio Access Network Overview (Access Channel Addressing); • Core Network Overview (VLR Addressing and CN Signalling); • International Roaming Issues (IRM exhaustion, Signalling/Routing, …); • GUIDEProvide guidance to operators for “True IMSI” support: • General Recommendations; • “MIN-based IMSI” Network Support for Inbound “True IMSI” Roamers; • “MIN-based IMSI” Network Support for local “True IMSI” subscribers; • “True IMSI” Network Support for Inbound “MIN-based IMSI” Roamers.
Team Composition • Members: • Andrew Hunter (Qualcomm); • Alejandro Holcman (Qualcomm); • Alain Bouvier (Ericsson); • Want to contribute? • Charging & Billing System Considerations; • Testing; • Signalling and Routing; • Roaming Agreement; • Provisionning; • Other?
