1 History of TAC Allocation

The IMEI number allocations were originally administered and funded by a number of

national authorities as part of the type approval of mobile devices. In 1999, the type approval regime was abolished as a European regulatory obligation and this required industry to establish an alternative device certification program and a means to allocate identifiers to mobile devices. In April 2000 the GSMA was asked by industry stakeholders to assume responsibility for allocating IMEI number ranges, and Type Allocation Codes, to mobile device manufacturers

The GSMA was formally appointed by the industry as the Global Decimal Administrator (GDA) in 2004 with responsibility for:

 Appointing regional bodies to allocate TAC/IMEI ranges  Maintaining lists of allocated TACs/IMEIs

 Distributing lists of allocated ranges via IMEI Database  Provide expertise and advice on allocations

The GSMA is the only appointed allocation authority for 3GPP and 3GPP/3GPP2 compliant devices. The TIA can also allocate TAC for 3GPP/3GPP2.

2 Introduction

This document outlines the allocation principles applicable to the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers. The following areas are covered:      

Allocation principles for IMEI

Allocation principles for Reporting Bodies The role of the GSM Association Security requirements for the IMEI Software Version Numbers

Single band , Multiband, Multimode and Multi RAT (Radio Access Technology) Mobile Equipment (ME)  Test IMEI

The overriding principles for IMEI allocation are preservation of the available number range, the prevention of duplication and the maintenance of security.

This document also details the allocation process to be followed for obtaining TAC/IMEI numbers from the authority approved by GSMA.

3.1 Definitions

The term “ME Model” SHALL be used to refer to GSM mobile equipment models and products that are differentiated in the market.

Note: the term “mobile“ is used for all devices connected to a 3GPP/3GPP2 network, it can be a M2M or fixed device

“ME Model” is defined as an ME which is different from other MEs

a) By hardware design b) By transceiver c) By control software d) By frequency bands or

e) As it is manufactured or assembled or commissioned by different ME Owners The term Type Allocation shall refer to the process by which ME Model has been allocated a TAC/IMEI. This MUST have been obtained via an organization appointed by the GSM Association, e.g. a Reporting Body.

The term Reporting Body shall refer to a Body that is recognised by the GSM Association as having authority and competence to allocate IMEIs to ME Model.. There may be more than one Reporting Body in a country.

The term Type Allocation Holder / ME Owner shall refer to the entity that has been allocated a TAC for an ME Model.

“Type Allocation Holder / ME Owner”, is either:

V7.0 Page 5 of 32

GSM Association

Official Document – TS.06 IMEI Allocation and Approval Process

Non-confidential

 a mobile device manufacturer, manufacturing and marketing devices under their own

brand;

 a duly approved and bona fide representative of a mobile device manufacturer

assisting the mobile device manufacturer in (a) above,

 a company distributing, marketing or offering MEs for sale under their own brand. An ME Model may only be allocated to one Type Allocation holder or ME Owner.

It should be noted that, within this document, ME is used to define the equipment being identified with the IMEI. Where the term ‘GSM ME’ is used within this document it can be considered to be interchangeable with 3G UE solely for the purpose of issues connected to the IMEI.

The key words “must”, “must not”, “required”, “shall”, “shall not”, “should”, “should not”, “recommended”, “may”, and “optional” in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC2119

The International Mobile Equipment Identity number (IMEI) uniquely identifies an individual mobile device. The IMEI is unique to every ME and thereby provides a means for controlling access to GSM networks based on ME Model or individual units.

V7.0 Page 6 of 32

GSM Association

Non-confidential

The “IMEI” consists of a number of fields totalling 15 digits. All digits have the range of 0 to 9 coded as binary coded decimal. Values outside this range are not permitted.

Some of the fields in the IMEI are under the control of the “Reporting Body”. The remainder is under the control of the Type Allocation Holder.

For the IMEI format prior to 01/01/03 please refer to Annex D of this document. The IMEI format valid from 01/01/03 is as shown below: TAC NNXXXXXX

The meaning of the acronyms for the IMEI format is: TAC NN XXXXXX ZZZZZZ A

Type Allocation Code Reporting Body Identifier ME Model Identifier defined by the Reporting Body The range is allocated by the Reporting Body but assigned per ME by the Type Allocation Holder Check digit, defined as a function of all other digits Serial No ZZZZZZ Check Digit A 5.1 IMEI Format

5.1.1 Type Allocation Code - 8 digits

The TAC identifies the type of the ME. It consists of two parts. The first part (NN) defines the Reporting Body allocating the TAC and the second part (XXXXXX) defines the ME Model. The following allocation principles apply:

 Each ME Model SHALL have a unique TAC.

 More than one TAC MAY be allocated to an ME Model. This may be done for instance to

permit the production of more than 1 million units.  The TAC shall uniquely identify an ME Model.

 Where there is more than one Type Allocation Holder for an ME Model then the TAC

shall be different.

5.1.2 Reporting Body Identifier (NN) – 2 digits

The first two digits of the TAC are the Reporting Body Identifier. These digits indicate which Reporting Body issued the IMEI. The GSMA shall coordinate the allocation of the first 2 digits to Reporting Bodies. See Annex A for IMEI Reporting Body Identifiers that have already been allocated. Only Reporting Body Identifiers listed in Annex A are valid The following allocation principles apply:

 The GSMA shall coordinate the allocation of the Reporting Body Identifier.  The Reporting Body Identifier shall uniquely identify the Reporting Body.

5.1.3 ME Model Identifier (XXXXXX) – 6 digits

The following 6 digits of the TAC are under the control of the Reporting Body. These 6 digits together with the Reporting Body 2 digit identifier uniquely identify each ME Model. Valid Range: 000000 – 999999

The following allocation principles apply:

 Major changes to the ME Build Level shall require a new ME Model Identifier (TAC).

Major changes to ME Build Level would normally include changes that modify the way the ME Model performs on the mobile network. The Reporting Body shall determine what constitutes a major change to the ME Build Level in line with the guidelines in section 5

 Terminals designed to comply with both 3GPP and 3GPP2 specifications are

considered as multi RAT / multi-mode ME, these devices must have a decimal IMEI to register on the 3GPP network, the 3GPP2 networks will also accept the decimal IMEI. All TAC allocated by all Reporting Bodies will work in multi RAT / multi-mode ME for both 3GPP and 3GPP2 networks.

 Multi RAT / Multimode ME shall only have one TAC and therefore one IMEI therefore

they do not need an additional Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID)

5.1.4 Serial Number (ZZZZZZ) - 6 digits

The Serial Number (SNR) is used to uniquely identify each individual ME of a particular ME Model. The number range is allocated by the Reporting Body but assigned to individual mobile stations by the manufacturer. Valid Range: 000000 – 999999

The following allocation principles apply.

 Each ME of each ME Model must have a unique Serial Number for a given TAC code.  In special circumstances (i.e. low volume product), the Reporting Body may allocate a

partial range to be used for the SNR.

5.1.5 Check Digit – 1 digit

The Check Digit shall be calculated according to Luhn formula (ISO/IEC 7812, see GSM 02.16 / 3GPP 22.016). The Check Digit is a function of all other digits in the IMEI. The Software Version Number (SVN) of a mobile is not included in the calculation.

The purpose of the Check Digit is to help guard against the possibility of incorrect entries to the CEIR and EIR equipment or for detecting mistakes in reading or manual transcription of the IMEI.

The presentation of the Check Digit both electronically (see section 5) and in printed form on the label and packaging is very important. Logistics (using bar-code reader) and EIR/CEIR administration cannot use the Check Digit unless it is printed outside of the packaging, and on the ME IMEI/Type Accreditation label.

5.2 IMEI Software Version Numbers (SVN) (2 digits)

The network can also request the IMEISV from ME. The SVN is described in 3GPP TS 22.016 and in TS GSM 02.16. A recommendation to terminal manufacturers is detailed in Annex C.

6 Benefits to the Industry of having an IMEI

IMEIs are used by Network Operators for the following:

 Identify an individual mobile terminal to a GSM, UMTS or LTE network

 Enable remote loading of patches and adaptations to avoid device inter-working

issues

 Support configuration management and remote updating of the customer equipment

base

 Aid marketing and sales strategies by allowing operators to identify specific devices

that can support value added services

 Participate to the customer management for every aspect linked to the used terminal,

support of its contract, customer care, self-care, devices after sales.

 Facilitate market research of the mobile user base by identifying and cross

referencing devices and usage patterns

 Determine which devices are responsible for technical faults on the network and allow

for remedial action to be taken

 Detect fraud at an early stage by using the IMEI to identify returning fraudsters’

and/or debtors’ devices

 Prevent a stolen phone from accessing a network and being used

IMEIs can be used by device manufacturers for the following:

 Restricting network access to devices with officially allocated TAC/IMEIs

 Proving the authenticity of devices by customs agencies in some countries, e.g.

Turkey, India, etc.

 Facilitating the identification of grey market handsets

 Taking remedial action against devices that are stolen from manufacturing sites,

storage facilities or while in transit

 Allocating test IMEIs allows manufacturers to test prototype devices on live networks

prior to market launch

 Allowing operators to identify devices that may require software updates to be

performed in a targeted manner to fix identified device performance problems that could otherwise necessitate a product recall

IMEIs can be used by Regulators for the following:

• Allows exclusion of non-approved terminals, which is a license obligation in some

markets

• Identifies handsets for lawful interception and criminal prosecution

7 IMEI Security and Integrity Guidelines

The management of ME identities is achieved via the use of black, white and grey lists on the Equipment Identity Register (EIR) and the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR). The integrity of the IMEI is the critical factor in the viability of CEIR and EIR equipment and associated processes.

V7.0

GSM Association

Non-confidential

There are a number of guidelines that need to be adhered to if the IMEI is to be successfully implemented allowing the use of EIR and CEIR equipment. Failure to do so will in fact make it impossible to implement EIR and CEIR equipment effectively and remove the ability to identify equipment types and to take any appropriate action if required. It is in the interests of the whole GSM industry that the integrity of the IMEI is maintained. The following guidelines are applicable.

 The IMEI shall uniquely identify each individual unit of ME

 As per GSM 03.03 / 3GPP 23.003, GSM 02.03 / 3GPP TS 22.016, the IMEI shall not be

changed after it is programmed into the device. It shall resist tampering, i.e. manipulation and change, by any means (e.g. physical, electrical and software).

 Where repairs necessitate the replacement of the components that contain the IMEI a

new IMEI shall be used. No means should be provided to replicate the IMEI in new

hardware or components. Therefore spare parts with IMEI hardware should be allocated a unique IMEI. When the IMEI have been replaced in this manner the recycling of the now disused IMEI is not permitted.

 Where a ME has variants that operate in other bands/modes then the ME should be

constructed in such a way so that it is not possible to interchange components to permit the IMEI being swapped between the variants.

GSMA launched an initiative to fight mobile theft, and has worked on IMEI security best practice. GSMA members drafted and approved 2 documents:

Technical Principles: intended to strengthen the security of the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI)

 GSMA Doc Reference: Security Principles Related to Handset Theft

Process in place: GSMA and DIGITAL EUROPE have agreed on a process to report alleged breaches of IMEI integrity and on the introduction of counter-measures to correct and improve IMEI security.

 GSMA Doc Reference: IMEI Weakness and Correction Process

8 TAC (IMEI) Usage Rules

The following guidelines are to be adhered to:

a) Modular Equipment may use an interchangeable transceiver module to achieve

the ability to operate in alternative GSM bands. Such equipment is to treat each transceiver module as a separate ME. This will mean that each transceiver equipment module would be subject to Type Allocation and be allocated a separate IMEI/TAC. The IMEI shall not be duplicated in separate transceiver equipment.

b) The GSMA has the following policy regarding devices containing multiple

transceivers:

V7.0

Page 10 of 32

GSM Association

Official Document – TS.06 IMEI Allocation and Approval Process

Non-confidential

 If a device contains two or more transceivers, each transceiver needs to be

separately identified on networks.

 If two or more transceivers within the device are identical (e.g. same chipset, same

frequency bands), then each transceiver can use the same TAC, but different IMEI.  If the transceivers are different (e.g. different chipset, different frequency bands), then

the transceivers have different TACs.

 A single transceiver may have more than one (U) SIM. If only one (U)SIM can

connect to the network at any time then only one IMEI is required.

c) All TAC (IMEI) numbers allocated by the Reporting Bodies are stored in the

GSMA IMEI database. The database is used to populate the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) which is used by the GSM Network Operators. For confidentiality reasons, access to the IMEI database is restricted. A company registered in the IMEI database can request a list of those TAC (IMEI) numbers allocated to them. Network Operators can access the IMEI data for the purposes of monitoring IMEI numbers on their networks.

d) Before applying for a TAC (IMEI) number, the applicant company must first be

registered with a reporting body. Evidence must be provided with (or in addition to) the application to ensure the following:  That the applicant (i.e. Brand Owner) is a legitimate organization and is selling a

product that is to connect to the Telecoms Network,

 For Modem manufacturers, it should be the manufacturer who requests the TAC as

these may go into many different devices. In all other cases it should be the Brand Owner who requests the TAC.

e) The following Equipment Types are listed on the TAC application form:-  Mobile / Feature Phone:

o Description - A device supporting basic personal communication services,

e.g. voice call and SMS. (Not strictly limited to basic services, but not entering in the definition of a Smartphone).

 Smartphone:

o Description – A device with large display, predominantly with touch screen

technology, fast processor and memory in the GB range. A fully-featured OS / platform that provides voice and data communications capabilities, enables personalisation of the device by the user and in addition supports installation and maintenance of mobile applications (e.g. downloadable from an Application store).

 Tablet:

o Description - A device with a display minimum 5-inches, slate-type form

factor, touch screen, providing data communications and/or voice

capabilities, fully-featured OS providing connection to an Application store through which the user can personalise the device’s functionality and services

V7.0

Non-confidential

 e-Book:

 Description - Similar to a tablet, but prime function is digital book

storage / reading; typically outdoor-capable display, less capable OS/applications than a tablet.

 Connected Computer

o Description - Laptop / Netbook / Desktop PC with integrated cellular

network connectivity module.

 Dongle:

o Description - A device which can be inserted in a laptop or other computer

to provide cellular network connectivity

 Modem:

o Description - A device designed for embedding in other equipment to

provide cellular connection functionality

 WLAN Router:

o Description - A device that performs advanced routing functionalities and

uses the cellular network as Wide Area Network interface.

f) If the Equipment Type is listed on the TAC form as “Dongle” or “WLAN Router”

then the device will not have a relevant operating system so it is acceptable to tick the box for “Operating System” as “Other” and then put “None” in the text box.

g) If the Equipment Type is listed on the TAC form as “Modem” then the device

operating system may not be known so it acceptable to tick the box for “Operating System” as “Other” and then put “Not known” in the text box.

h) Each application is made on a per model basis. The Brand Name, Model Name &

Marketing Name need to be provided to identify the model.

i) The number of TAC numbers requested per application is enough to cover a three

month production run. One TAC number (1 million IMEI numbers) is normally more than sufficient in most applications.

j) Any amendment to an existing TAC record must be made via the GSMA IMEI

data base using the “Edit TAC” function.

k) Some manufacturers produce special test mobile equipment. This type of

equipment can harm network integrity if used in the wrong manner. Subsequently network operators need to be able to identify such equipment. The following guidelines apply.

Where the equipment is based on an existing Mobile Equipment:

 A separate TAC code should be assigned to the Test ME to distinguish it from the

Type Accredited mobile equipment.

 Alternatively a Test IMEI could be allocated to this type of ME if it is supplied to

operators for test purposes only and not available commercially.

V7.0

Page 12 of 32

GSM Association

Official Document – TS.06 IMEI Allocation and Approval Process

Non-confidential

 Each Test ME’s IMEI shall conform to the IMEI Integrity and Security provisions in

Section 3.

l) Where GSM equipment is capable of operating in multiple modes the following

guidelines apply.  The Reporting Body shall inform the GSM Association of the Multimode capability for

the ME and indicate the capable modes.

 Where the standards permit the same IMEI shall be used for each mode of operation.

Where the standards do not permit the use of IMEI then an IMEI shall be allocated specifically to the GSM part and any applicable identification to the non-GSM part/s.  Where physically detachable modular techniques are utilised to provide the

transceiver capability then each transceiver module shall be treated as a separate ME. Therefore separate IMEI/TAC allocations are required if an IMEI is applicable to each module.

m) Cosmetic variants of the same model. If different models of the same devices

meet all of the following criteria then the same TAC can be used for all the models:-     

The same hardware design The same transceiver

The same control software having an impact on the interworking with the network, The same frequency bands

It is manufactured, assembled, commissioned by the same ME Owner

Example: a cosmetic terminal variation which is a different colour or name.

9 Test IMEI

From time to time manufacturers may wish to test prototype ME on networks before applying the regulatory procedures for placing the equipment on the market. The Test IMEI principle has been developed to allow easy allocation of IMEI to Test ME in a controllable, secure and traceable manner. The use of IMEI from Type Allocated Equipment in Test ME is strictly prohibited.

The purpose of the Test IMEI is to allow manufacturers to test prototype mobiles on a live network without having placed mobiles on the market (i.e. the mobiles are fully under the control of the manufacturer or an operator). They may be single prototype units or a limited pre-production run (e.g. to demonstrate a mobile at an exhibition or do some field trials). Test IMEIs are allocated as an 8 digit TAC code per manufacturer and uniquely identifies the manufacturer. The IMEI range implicated by the allocated Test-TAC is to be managed by the manufacturer (It is expected that the manufacturer can control the reuse of Test-IMEIs, e.g. by internal quality procedures.). It is prohibited to have identical IMEI in use in more than one piece of equipment at any given time. Test-IMEIs must not be used for samples given to operators for final product acceptance.

The total allocation of Test IMEI is one million per manufacturer. The total number of a particular model type of mobiles that can be used under this arrangement is a maximum of 1000. Old test products must be destroyed and the Test IMEI numbers must be reused.

V7.0 Page 13 of 32

GSM Association

Official Document – TS.06 IMEI Allocation and Approval Process

Non-confidential

The test IMEI allocation does not imply general permission to connect or imply approval for Test UEs. Operators are under no obligation to allow the use of test IMEI on their networks. One should normally need to seek permission from the network operator to use the Test IMEIs on their network. If a network operator queries the use of a Test IMEI issued by BABT, BABT will provide the operator with the details of the allocation, including the manufacturer's name and address. Only the Reporting Bodies listed in Annex B may allocate a Test IMEI. The use of a Test ME is subject to any applicable national legislation and regulatory requirements. In general it is subject to the agreement of the network operator and, where applicable, of the Reporting Body. A Reporting Body or operator may allow the use of a limited number of Test ME and may impose regional restrictions.

The following guidelines apply to test mobile IMEIs.

 Operators are under no compulsion to allow the use of Test IMEI on their networks

and may if they wish black list all or some Test IMEI.

 A Test IMEI is used for Mobile Equipment or software functionality that has not been

through the (regulatory) procedures for placing commercial equipment on the market. ME with Test IMEI cannot be supplied to the market. A Test IMEI range is available initially for a block of 1000 mobiles per model type. If more than 1000 Test IMEIs are required then more than one Test ME Model shall be allocated so that there are sequential blocks of 1000. The total Test IMEI allocation shall be a multiple of 1000.  Old test products must be destroyed and the Test IMEI numbers must be reused  Test IMEI shall not be duplicated.

 The TAC component of the Test IMEI shall indicate the Allocating Body.

 If it accepts the mobile in its country/network, a Reporting Body or operator should

accept the use of a range of Test IMEI numbers that have been allocated by another Allocating Body. The allocation of different Test IMEI ranges for the same type of ME should be avoided if at all possible.

 From 01/02/2005 a new format as described in table 6.2.1 will apply to test IMEIs for

all countries except North America.

9.1 Format of the Test IMEI for all countries except North America

11 Test IMEI Allocating Body List

The GSM Association maintains a list of contacts for the issuing of Test IMEI. This list is available as Annex B to this document.

12 List of Type allocated mobile equipment and IMEI allocations by

Reporting Bodies

The Reporting Bodies use the GSMA Web based IMEI database for allocating the TAC which in turn provides the information to the mobile network operators to allow the connection of devices to their networks.

13 The IMEI Database / CEIR

The GSMA operate the IMEI database which is also the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) for use by its operator members. The CEIR contain White List Information of Mobile Equipment determined as suitable for worldwide use on mobile networks. It may also contain Black List information of the IMEI of MEs that are considered not suitable for use on mobile networks due to being stolen, duplicated, a threat to network integrity or other reasons. The GSMA shall determine valid reasons for blacklisting. The CEIR may also contain GREY list information about IMEIs of ME whose status is unclear.

The GSMA reserves the right to determine if the technical basis for Type Allocation is acceptable to permit IMEIs allocated by a Reporting Body to be included in the CEIR white list.

The GSMA reserves the right to determine if information supplied by a Reporting Body is acceptable for inclusion in the CEIR white list.

Individual members of the GSMA may choose what IMEI information to enter to their own EIR. This may include IMEI information excluded from entry to the CEIR in the White, Black or Grey lists.

 Reporting Bodies must allocate the TAC from within the GSMA IMEI database, however

if this is not possible then they must inform the GSMA of new Type Allocations and IMEI allocations providing the following information

 TAC & Serial number range (if allocated)

 Brand Name, Marketing Name and Model Name  Manufacturer

 Frequency Bands supported by the devices  Designation Type  Allocation Date  Radio Interface  Operating System  Support for NFC (Y/N)

 Support for Bluetooth (Y/N)  Support for WLAN (Y/N)

 Any additional information to the Type Allocation status.

If this information is not already in the GSMA IMEI database then it must be provided to the GSMA soon as possible after granting TAC to avoid delays in connecting the equipment to networks using an Excel template supplied by the GSMA by contacting imeihelpdesk@gsma.com

16 Type Allocation Holder Responsibilities

Within the context of this document Type Allocation Holders have the following responsibilities.

 Comply with the relevant Type Allocation requirements.

 Complete all information requested in the GSMA IMEI database with regards to company

registration and TAC requests.

 Ensure IMEI are secure and have integrity.

 Consider recommendations to increment SVN for new software in ME.  Apply to relevant bodies for Test IMEI when required.

 Gain permission from operators to use test ME where required.

17 TAC Allocation Process

To obtain the TAC the following steps should be followed:-

1. The Type Allocation Holder must be register in the GSMA IMEI Database, via the

following link: http://imeidb.gsm.org/imei/login.jsp and then click on “Manufacturers Registration Form”

2. Complete all the details & submit the registration form

Once submitted, the form is sent via the IMEI Database to the appropriate Reporting Body (RB) for processing. The RB may contact the manufacturer for more information. When the RB has completed their verification of the form, if positive, the application will be approved and the manufacturer will be sent a Manufacturer ID & Password via email. In the event of a negative review the RB will contact the Type Allocation Holder to explain the reasons for rejection of the application.

1. When the Type Allocation Holder has a Manufacturer ID & Password they are able to

enter the IMEI Database via this link:- http://imeidb.gsm.org/imei/login.jsp and click on “Application for TAC” and enter the Manufacturer ID & Password details

2. The Type Allocation Holder must pay the Fees if required, in order to obtain the TAC

Allowance. Once the payment is made the Type Allocation Holders will have a TAC Allowance available for Allocation to ME Models.

3. The TAC Allowance does not expire and can be allocated at any time.

4. In order to use the allowance and initiate the TAC Allocation complete the TAC

application form as required in the IMEI Database. This form is then sent via the IMEI Database to the RB for confirmation of the ME Model Specification and the specific TAC allocated.

5. When the TAC is allocated to a specific ME Model the Type Allocation Holder will be

sent a notification email & a TAC certificate issued by the GSMA.

6. The remaining TAC from the Allowance can be allocated to ME Models as required

by repeating from step No 5 above.

Annex C – Informative Annex - IMEISV

The Network can also request the IMEISV from Phase 2 (or later) ME. The IMEISV shall contain the first 14 digits of the IMEI plus a Software Version Number (SVN). The SVN shall be incremented when the ME software is modified. Allocation of the 2 digit SVN may be controlled by the Reporting Body, at the discretion of the Reporting Body. SVN of “99” is reserved for future use (See GSM 03.03).

C.1 GSM 02.16 - MS Software Version Number (SVN)

A Software Version Number (SVN) field shall be provided. This allows the ME manufacturer to identify different software versions of a given type approved mobile.

The SVN is a separate field from the IMEI, although it is associated with the IMEI, and when the network requests the IMEI from the MS, the SVN (if present) is also sent towards the network. It comprises 2 decimal digits.

The White list shall use the IMEI, while the Black and Grey Lists may also use the SVN.

C.2 3GPP TS 22.016 - MS Software Version Number (SVN)

A Software Version Number (SVN) field shall be provided. This allows the ME manufacturer to identify different software versions of a given mobile.

The SVN is a separate field from the IMEI, although it is associated with the IMEI, and when the network requests the IMEI from the MS, the SVN (if present) is also sent towards the network.

The White list shall use the IMEI, while the Black and Grey Lists may also use the SVN.

C.3 Structure of the IMEISV

The structure of the IMEISV is as follows: TAC NNXXXXXX Notes:- NN Reporting Body Identifier ME Model Identifier defined by Reporting Body Allocated by Reporting Body but assigned per ME by the manufacturer Software Version Number 00 – 98. 99 is reserved for future use. XXXXXX ZZZZZZ SS

C.4 Software Version Number Allocation Principles

The Reporting Body, at their discretion, may control allocation of the SVN. All ME designed to Phase 2 or later requirements shall increment the SVN for new versions of software. The initial version number shall be 00. The SVN of 99 shall be reserved.

The allocation process for SVN shall be one of the following procedures:

 The Reporting Body allocates a new SVN number a new software release.  The Reporting Body defines the allocating process to be applied by the Type

Allocation Holder.

If there are more than 99 software versions released the Reporting Body may undertake one of the following options.

 Issue a new TAC code for the ME Model

C.5 Security Requirements

The SVN is not subject to the same security requirements as the IMEI as it is associated with the ME software. The SVN should be contained within the software and incremented every time new software is commercially released. The SVN should uniquely identify the software version.

Annex D – Informative Annex – Historical Structure of the IMEI

D.1

TAC NNXXXX

Discussions within the industry, including 3GPP2, agreed that the structure change to combine the TAC and FAC into a single eight-digit TAC code.

This format has been documented in the 3GPP requirements 02.16, 03.03, 22.016 and 23.003.

Effectively the FAC code should be considered as obsolete.

It was noted that there was a need for a transition period to allow:

 The Operators to modify their systems to use the eight digit TAC rather than a six digit

one

 The Manufacturers to make any necessary changes to their production processes  The Reporting Bodies to make any changes to their IMEI allocation systems  The GSM Association to make any changes to their databases and systems  The Contractor to make any changes to its systems The transition period ran from 31/12/02 until 1/4/04.

To achieve this transition, all eight-digit TAC codes allocated between 31/12/02 and 31/3/04 were given unique combinations of the first six digits (NNXXXX) with the seventh and eighth digits (YY) being fixed to 00.

Any request by a Terminal Manufacturer for a FAC code after 31/12/02 resulted in that Manufacturer being supplied with a fresh 8 digit TAC. This was to allow the 3GPP industry to move to the 8-digit TAC code without the need to implement changes to their IMEI analysis and tracking systems before 1/4/04.

Historical IMEI Structure

The IMEI structure valid until 31/12/02 is as follows

FAC YY Serial No ZZZZZZ Check Digit A The meaning of the acronyms for the IMEI format valid until 31/12/02 is: TAC NN XXXX FAC YY Type Allocation Code, formerly known as Type Approval Code Reporting Body Identifier ME Type Identifier defined by Reporting Body Final Assembly Code Under control of the Reporting Body. May be used to indicate the manufacturing site. More than one FAC per site should be used to permit production of greater than 1000000 ME.

A Phase 1 = 0 Phase 2 (or later) = Check digit, defined as a function of all other IMEI digits

D.1.1 Type Allocation Code - 6 digits. (Valid prior to 01/01/03)

The TAC identifies the Type Allocation Code, formerly known as the Type Approval Code, for the type of the ME. It consists of two parts; the first part defines the Reporting Body allocating the TAC and the second part defines the ME type. The following allocation principles apply:

 Each ME Type shall have a unique TAC code or set of TAC codes.

 More than one TAC may be allocated to an ME Type at the discretion of the Reporting

Body. This may be done to permit the production of more than 1 million units or to distinguish between market variations.

 The TAC code shall uniquely identify an ME Type.

 If the TAC was granted to a particular software version of one ME Type that is then used

in another ME type the TAC code shall be different.

 TAC codes may vary between software versions for a phase 1 ME Type at the discretion

of the Reporting Body.

 In Phase 2 (and later releases) the TAC shall remain the same and the SV number shall

identify the software version. See IMEISV.

 Where there is more than one Type Allocation Holder for an ME Type then the TAC code

shall be different.

D.1.2 Reporting Body Identifier (NN) – 2 digits (valid prior to 01/01/03)

The first two digits of the TAC are the Reporting Body Identifier. These digits indicate which Reporting Body issued the IMEI. The GSM Association shall coordinate the allocation of the first 2 digits to Reporting Bodies. See Annex A for IMEI Reporting Body Identifiers that have already been allocated.

Valid Range 00 – 99 in accordance with allocations in Annex A

The following allocation principles apply:

 The GSM Association shall coordinate the allocation of the Reporting Body Identifier.  The Reporting Body Identifier shall uniquely identify the Reporting Body.

 If for some reason the same Reporting Body Identifier must be used then the first digit of

the ME Type Identifier will also be used to define the Reporting Body. The GSM

Association shall coordinate the allocation to the Reporting Body of the range of values of the first digit of the ME Type Identifier. This range shall be contiguous. This approach is to be avoided if at all possible.

D.1.3 ME Type Identifier (XXXX) – 4 digits (valid prior to 01/01/03)

The following 4 digits of the TAC are under the control of the Reporting Body. These 4 digits together with the Reporting Body 2 digit identifier uniquely identify each ME Type. Valid Range 0000 – 9999

The following allocation principles apply:

 Every ME Type shall have a unique TAC or set of TACs. A TAC may not be associated

with more than one ME Type. An ME Type may have more than one TAC.

 Major changes to the ME Build Level shall require a new ME Type Identifier. Major

changes to ME Build Level would normally include the addition of new features or changes that modify the performance of the ME Type. Minor changes to the ME Build Level that do not change the performance of the ME require no new ME Type Identifier. The Reporting Body shall determine what constitutes a major or minor change to the ME Build Level.

 The ME Type Identifier should be allocated sequentially wherever possible. Gaps in the

ME type range are to be avoided if possible.

 Multiband or multimode ME shall only have one TAC and therefore one IMEI. Where

more than one Reporting Body is involved in the allocation of the IMEI coordination is required between the Reporting Bodies to ensure that all requirements have been met before the IMEI is allocated.

D.1.4 Final Assembly Code (FAC) - 2 digits (valid prior to 01/01/03)

These two digits (YY) are generally used to identify the specific factory or manufacturing site of the ME. The allocation of the FAC is under the control of the Reporting Body. Valid Range 00 – 99

The following allocation principles apply:

 More than one FAC should be allocated where necessary to a Factory or site to allow for

the situation where the factory produces more than 1 million units per ME Type.

 Further FACs should be requested and assigned for a ME type where the Serial Number

Range is exhausted.

 A FAC shall not be used to distinguish between ME Types.

D.1.5 Serial Number (SNR) - 6 digits (valid prior to 01/01/03)

The 6 digit SNR (ZZZZZZ) in combination with the FAC is used to uniquely identify each ME of a particular ME Type. Valid Range 000000 – 999999

The following allocation principles apply:

 Each ME of each ME Type must have a unique Serial Number in combination with the

FAC for a given TAC code.

 SNR shall be allocated sequentially wherever possible.

 The Reporting Body may allocate a partial range to be used for the serial number.

D.1.6 Spare Digit / Check Digit – 1 digit (valid prior to 01/01/03)

D.1.6.1 Phase 1/1+ ME

For Phase 1 ME this is a spare digit and its use has not been defined. The spare digit shall always be transmitted to the network as “0”.

D.1.6.2 Phase 2 (and later) ME

For Phase 2 (or later) mobiles it shall be a Check Digit calculated according to Luhn formula (ISO/IEC 7812). See GSM 02.16. The Check Digit shall not be transmitted to the network. The Check Digit is a function of all other digits in the IMEI. The Software Version Number (SVN) of a Phase 2 (or later) mobile is not included in the calculation.

The purpose of the Check Digit is to help guard against the possibility of incorrect entries to the CEIR and EIR equipment.

The presentation of Check Digit (CD) both electronically (see Section 5) and in printed form on the label and packaging is very important. Logistics (using bar-code reader) and EIR/CEIR administration cannot use the CD unless it is printed outside of the packaging, and on the ME IMEI/Type Accreditation label.

The check digit shall always be transmitted to the network as “0”.
