TIA Updates cdma2000® Application on UICC for Spread Spectrum Systems
Standard Written to Ensure Application's Interoperability With Mobile Device Regardless of Manufacturer, Smart Card Issuer or Operator
Arlington, Va. – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), the leader in advocacy, standards development, business development and intelligence for the information and communications technology (ICT) industry, recently released TIA-1080-1[E] cdma2000® Application on UICC for Spread Spectrum Systems.
TIA-1080-1[E] defines the cdma2000 Subscriber Identify Module (CSIM) application. This application resides on the Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC), an Integrated Circuit (IC) card – or "smart" card – as specified in TIA-1058 UICC-Terminal Interface Physical and Logical Characteristics for cdma2000® Spread Spectrum Systems (see related press release), which specifies the application independent properties of the UICC/terminal interface such as the physical characteristics and the logical structure.
To ensure interoperability between a CSIM and a mobile equipment (ME) device independently of the respective manufacturer, card issuer or operator, TIA-1080-1[E] specifies:
- Specific command parameters
- File structures
- Security functions
- Interworking with other Applications (IP multimedia Services Identity Module [ISIM], Universal Subscriber Identity Module [USIM], etc.) on UICC
- Application protocol to be used on the interface between UICC (cdma2000 application) and ME
TIA-1080-1[E] does not define any aspects related to the administrative management phase of the cdma2000 application. Any internal technical realization of either the cdma2000 application or the ME is only specified where these are reflected over the interface. The standard does not specify any of the security algorithms that may be used.
This document considers only changes from the existing Removable User Identity Module (R-UIM) specification in TIA 820-C Removable User Identity Module for Spread Spectrum Systems (December 2006), to adapt to UICC platform.
TIA-1080-1[E] was formulated under the cognizance of TIA Engineering Committee TR-45 Mobile & Personal Communications Systems, TR-45.5 Subcommittee on Spread Spectrum Digital Technology.
