INTRODUCTION
This Standard was prepared by Technical Specification Group C ofthe Third Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2).This Standardpresents recommendations for supporting a mobile station equippedwith a Mobile Equipment IDentifier (MEID) [10] in the OTASP Systemsdefined in [2], [3], [4] and [5].
The OTASP feature allows a potential wireless service subscriberto activate (i.e., become authorized for) new wireless service, andallows an existing wireless subscriber to make changes in existingservices 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 numberassigned by the mobile station manufacturer, uniquely identifyingthe mobile station equipment. Due to the ESN exhaustion, the MEIDwas introduced in the cdma2000®1 systems as thealternative to ESN for new mobile stations complying with [7].
During the migration period from ESN to MEID, Pseudo-ESN is usedby the MEID15 equipped mobile stations. Pseudo-ESN is a 32-bitnumber derived from MEID and used in place of ESN. For theprovisioning, however, Pseudo-ESN may not be used to uniquelyidentify a particular mobile station since Pseudo-ESN is notunique.
In order to solve this problem, the following new capability isintroduced in this Standard.
• Enhanced Protocol Capability Messaging – This provides themeans for the base station to ascertain the detailed capabilitiesof the mobile station, such as supported band classes, operatingmodes, and MEID.
This Standard uses the same structure and section numbering as[2], [3], [4] and [5], except for all the references. Sections ofthis 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 entiretyor use the […] notation to represent unchanged portions. Withinmodified sections, change bars indicate the specific paragraphs,figures, or table cells that have changed. Within modifiedparagraphs and table cells, strike-throughs indicate deleted textand underlines indicate new text.
