MEID and EUIMID Migration MEID and EUIMID Migration 1 MEID and EUIMID Migration 1 1 Executive Summary 2 3 • Issue. The recent (September 2007) TIA ESN Report predicts that ESN 4 manufacturer code address space for handsets will exhaust by Q1 2008. The 5 UIMID manufacturer code space for R-UIMs (a subset of the same resource) will 6 also exhaust. In fact, UIMID assignments are continuing only because the ESN 7 administrator has been able to continue to reclaim codes from older technologies 8 (AMPS analog and TDMA digital) and transfer them to the UIMID administrator. ® 9 • Industry Response. In response to these events, the cdma2000 industry is 10 migrating handsets from ESN to MEID-based addressing, and R-UIMs from 11 UIMID- to EUIMID-based addressing. 12 o Non-unique values, known as pESN (pseudo-ESN) or pUIMID 13 (pseudo-UIMID), will be used in ESN/UIMID fields, previously 14 depended upon to be unique 15 • Potential Impact. If there are no steps taken in the network and back-end 16 systems to accommodate this change, possible impacts include: 17 o Crosstalk, interference and dropped calls 18 o Misaddressed air interface messaging (e.g. SMS received by wrong 19 user) 20 o Inability to provision and/or bill some subscribers 21 o Spurious Fraud Detection alerts 22 • Migration Status. The migrations have already started ® 23 o Several major cdma2000 operators have already upgraded their 24 network and deployed MEID-based handsets 25 o EUIMID-based R-UIMs have already been deployed by at least one 26 major R-UIM vendor ® 27 • Recommended Actions. All cdma2000 operators are recommended to 28 o Upgrade their network to support C.S0072 to minimize PLCM collisions 29 o Remove any requirement in their back-end systems for a unique 30 ESN/UIMID value 31 o Use MEID-equipped devices 32 o Choose either Long or Short EUIMID format and provision in all new R- 33 UIMs ii MEID and EUIMID Migration 1 Contents 2 1 Executive Summary

    MEID and EUIMID Migration 7. Scenarios 1 7.2.2 Data Services ® 2 7.2.2.1 CDMA2000 Packet Data 3 Some operators use a Network Access Identifier (NAI) of the format ESN@realm. 4 Default provisioning of this value should be changed to a unique value, such as 5 MEID@realm. 6 Origination and PLCM assignment is as for voice. 7 Either MEID or pESN (or both) is included in the airlink record sent from the PCF to 35 8 the PDSN , and included in the PDSN UDR sent to the AAA. If MEID is sent, the 9 receiving entity must be capable of accepting it (and if the pESN is absent the 10 receiving entity must not consider it required). 11 7.2.2.2 1xEV-DO Packet Data 12 An AT can provide its Hardware ID in response to a HardwareIDRequest Message. 13 When the AT is provisioned with an MEID, it will include this value as its Hardware- 14 ID, with a specific HardwareIDType. 15 In order to include this identifier on the A12 interface, the AN must recode the 16 HardwareIDType to the value specified in A.S0008-A. in other words, the AN cannot 17 simply pass the information received from the AT transparently – it must explicitly 18 understand the “MEID” HardwareIDType, and recode this to the “Type of Identity” 19 coding for MEID, as specified in A.S0016-C (referenced from A.S0008-A Annex E) 20 in order to build a properly formatted A12 message. 21 Only the MEID is available to be included into an airlink record and subsequently 22 into the PDSN UDR (assuming derivation of the pESN is not performed).

Executive Summary 2 3 • Issue. It has been known for several years that the ESN numbering resource, 4 used for both the handset’s Electronic Serial Number and for R-UIM UIMID 5 codes, is close to exhaustion. Due to stringent conservation and reclamation of 6 codes the life of the resource was extended several years beyond the first 7 predictions. However, the last virgin (never before assigned) ESN code is 8 expected to be assigned later in 2008 and reclaimed codes are expected to last 9 only a few months longer (perhaps through 2009).
