A Uniform Resource Name Namespace
for the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA)
and the International Mobile station Equipment Identity (IMEI)
Abstract
This specification defines a Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace
for the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA)
and a Namespace Specific String (NSS) for the International Mobile
station Equipment Identity (IMEI), as well as an associated parameter
for the International Mobile station Equipment Identity and Software
Version number (IMEISV). The IMEI and IMEISV were introduced as part
of the specification for the GSM and are also now incorporated by the
3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as part of the 3GPP
specification for GSM, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
(UMTS), and 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. The IMEI and
IMEISV are used to uniquely identify Mobile Equipment within these
systems and are managed by the GSMA. URNs from this namespace almost
always contain personally identifiable information and need to be
treated accordingly.
