TIA TIA-158-1

Abstract

<strong>INTRODUCTION</strong> <br>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]. <br>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. <br>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^&#174;1 systems as the alternative to ESN for new mobile stations complying with [7]. <br>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. <br>In order to solve this problem, the following new capability is introduced in this Standard. <br>&#8226; 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. <br>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. <br><em>¹ cdma2000^&#174; is the trademark for the technical nomenclature for certain specifications and standards of the Organizational Partners (OPs) of 3GPP2.
