1 Scope p. 12

The present document defines the principal purpose and use of different naming, numbering, addressing and identification resources (i.e. Identifiers (ID)) within the digital cellular telecommunications system and the 3GPP system.

IDs that are covered by this specification includes both public IDs, private IDs and IDs that are assigned to MSs/UEs. Many of the IDs are used temporary in the networks and are allocated and assigned by the operators and some other IDs are allocated and assigned on either global, regional and national level by an administrator. See ITU-T Recommendation E.101 [122].

The present document defines:

the principal purpose and use of International Mobile station Equipment Identities (IMEI) within the digital cellular telecommunications system and the 3GPP system

an identification plan for public networks and subscriptions in the 3GPP systems;

principles of assigning telephone numbers to MSs in the country of registration of the MS;

principles of assigning Mobile Station (MS) roaming numbers to visiting MSs;

an identification plan for location areas, routing areas, and base stations in the GSM system;

an identification plan for MSCs, SGSNs, GGSNs, and location registers in the GSM/UMTS system;

principles of assigning international mobile equipment identities;

principles of assigning zones for regional subscription;

an identification plan for groups of subscribers to the Voice Group Call Service (VGCS) and to the Voice Broadcast Service (VBS); and identification plan for voice group calls and voice broadcast calls; an identification plan for group call areas;

principles for assigning Packet Data Protocol (PDP) addresses to mobile stations;

an identification plan for point-to-multipoint data transmission groups;

an identification plan for CN domain, RNC and service area in the UTRAN system.

an identification plan for mobile subscribers in the WLAN system.

addressing and identification for IMS Service Continuity

an identification plan together with principles of assignment and mapping of identities for the Evolved Packet System; and

addressing and identification for Proximity-based (ProSe) Services.

an identification for Online Charging System (OCS).

an identification plan together with principles of assignment and mapping of identities for the 5G System.

The present document specifies functions, procedures and information which apply to GERAN Iu mode. However, functionality related to GERAN Iu mode is neither maintained nor enhanced.

1.3 General comments to references p. 19

The identification plan for public networks and subscriptions defined below is that defined in ITU-T Recommendation E.212.

The ISDN numbering plan for MSs and the allocation of mobile station roaming numbers is that defined in ITU-T Recommendation E.213. Only one of the principles for allocating ISDN numbers is proposed for PLMNs. Only the method for allocating MS roaming numbers contained in the main text of ITU-T Recommendation E.213 is recommended for use in PLMNs. If there is any difference between the present document and the ITU-T Recommendations, the former shall prevail.

For terminology, see also ITU-T Recommendations E.101, E.164 and X.121.

1.4 Conventions on bit ordering p. 19

The following conventions hold for the coding of the different identities appearing in the present document and in other GSM Technical Specifications if not indicated otherwise:

the different parts of an identity are shown in the Figures in order of significance;
the most significant part of an identity is on the left part of the Figure and the least significant on the right.

When an identity appears in other Technical Specifications, the following conventions hold if not indicated otherwise:

digits are numbered by order of significance, with digit 1 being the most significant;
bits are numbered by order of significance, with the lowest bit number corresponding to the least significant bit.
