TIA MEID Database (db) Overview(updated from July 2011; incorporates Phase realignments) Gary V. Pellegrino, Chair TIA TR-45 Ad Hoc ESN/UIM/MEID CommFlow Resources, Inc. December 2011
Overview of TIA MEID db • TIA MEID db Capabilities • TIA MEID db Phase 1 Development - now includes some mission critical capabilities previously embedded in Phase 2a • TIA MEID db Testing / Phase 1 Rollout • TIA MEID db Phase 2a Development • TIA MEID db Potential Phase 2b Development
TIA MEID db Capabilities (1) • TIA development started 1Q 2011 and ongoing • Online tool for MS-mobile station (MEID) and card manufacturer (MEID for EUIMID) applications for MEID assignments • Improved MEID Administration efficiency • Timely near real-time data exchange to/from GSMA IMEI database of multimode assignments • Source for MEID online redacted reports
TIA MEID db Capabilities (2) • CDMA operators access to MEID and IMEI/MEID multimode assignments - operator agreements with TIA will be arranged • Robust MEID administration checks & balances • Security mechanisms e.g., https; robust encryption
TIA MEID db Capabilities (3) • Proprietary MEID db information maintained with device/card Manufacturers [limited to view own information] and Operators [wider view of subset of information for all manufacturers] access levels • Platform for future MEID CEIR (Centralized Equipment Identity Register) consideration • Other applications may be considered in future; some are operator dependent (Phase 2b)
TIA MEID db Phase 1 Development • Design online equivalent of all SC.R4002-0 MEID paper application and assignment forms • Unique user log-in, password and robust encryption measures moved to Phase 1 from Phase 2 to accelerate early facilitation of operator access and manufacturers maintaining complete library of Forms within MEID db • Internal TIA Administrator tools • Redacted online MEID assignment reports • Targeted development of Enhanced Phase I complete early Q1’2012
TIA MEID db Testing & Phase I Rollout • Internal, external alpha test trials of preliminary Phase I (manufacturer application – Form A) started 3Q 2011 • ARIB - Japan Regional MEID Administrator visiting TIA circa mid-January 2012 for in-depth review and user experience validation • Beta testing started late 4Q 2011; complete late 1Q 2012 • Db access criteria and restrictions need to be defined • Initial live rollout targeted early 2Q 2012 - service provider TIA membership required • Update SC.R4002-0 with online forms annex; publish coincident with TIA MEID db Phase I rollout
TIA MEID db Phase 2a Development • Bi-directional TIA MEID db – GSMA IMEI db Interface testing and implementation • This Interface is expected to allow near real-time data exchange between TIA MEID db and GSMA IMEI db - Initial design and development in progress [TIA provided inputs for draft Terms & Conditions; awaiting GSMA readiness to continue this activity] • MEID db optimization; enhancements • Targeted development completion end of 1Q 2012 • Targeted implementation late 2Q 2012 (after robust testing complete)
TIA MEID db Potential Phase 2b Development • Potential Development of MEID CEIR - Industry segments (e.g., India & CDG) recently expressed some interest and appears initial discussions are being accelerated • Design future capabilities with industry input (particularly operator requirements) • MEID db optimization; additional enhancements • Targeted activity from 2Q 2012 to year end 2012 • Targeted completion dependent on desired functionality and operator requirements
