24 Numbering, addressing and identification for Proximity-based Services (ProSe) |R12| p. 101

24.1 Introduction p. 101

This clause describes the format of the parameters used for ProSe. For further information on the use of the parameters see TS 23.303.

24.2 ProSe Application ID p. 101

24.2.1 General p. 101

The ProSe Application ID is composed of two parts as follows:

The ProSe Application ID Name, which is described in its entirety by a data structure characterized by different levels e.g, broad-level business category (Level 0) / business sub-category (Level 1) / business name (Level 2) / shop ID (Level 3).
The PLMN ID, which corresponds to the PLMN that assigned the ProSe Application ID Name.
The PLMN ID is placed before the ProSe Application ID Name as shown in Figure 24.2.1-1. The PLMN ID and the ProSe Application ID Name shall be separated by a dot.

Reproduction of 3GPP TS 23.003, Fig. 24.2.1-1: Structure of ProSe Application ID

Figure 24.2.1-1: Structure of ProSe Application ID

24.2.2 Format of ProSe Application ID Name in ProSe Application ID p. 102

The ProSe Application ID Name is composed of a string of labels. These labels represent hierarchical levels and shall be separated by dots (e.g. "Label1.Label2.Label3"). The ProSe Application ID Name shall contain at least one label. The first label on the left shall be "ProSeApp".

Any label in the ProSe Application ID Name except the first label on the left ("ProSeApp") can be wild carded. A wild card label is represented as "*",

EXAMPLE:

A ProSe Application ID Name used to discover nearby Italian restaurants could be "ProSeApp.Food.Restaurants.Italian".

24.2.3 Format of PLMN ID in ProSe Application ID p. 102

The PLMN ID shall uniquely identify the PLMN of the ProSe Function that has assigned the ProSe Application ID. The PLMN ID is composed of two labels which shall be separated by a dot as follows:

"mcc<MCC>.mnc<MNC>"

where:

"mcc" and "mnc" serve as invariable identifiers for the following digits.
<MCC> contains the MCC (Mobile Country Code) of the ProSe Function that has assigned the ProSe Application ID.
<MNC> contains the MNC (Mobile Network Code) of the ProSe Function that has assigned the ProSe Application ID.

In order to guarantee inter-PLMN operability, the <MCC> and the <MNC> shall be represented by 3 digits. If there are only 2 significant digits in the MNC, one "0" digit is inserted at the left side of the MNC to form the <MNC> in the "mnc<MNC>" label.

EXAMPLE:

The PLMN ID for MCC 345 and MNC 12 will be "mcc345.mnc012".

24.2.4 Usage of wild cards in place of PLMN ID in ProSe Application ID p. 102

If the scope of the ProSe Application ID is country-specific, the PLMN ID part in the ProSe Application ID shall be replaced by "mcc<MCC>.mnc*" with <MCC> set to the MCC of the corresponding country.

If the scope of the ProSe Application ID is global, the PLMN ID part in the ProSe Application ID shall be replaced by "mcc*.mnc*".

EXAMPLE:

For a ProSe Application ID specific to a country with MCC 345, the PLMN ID part will be replaced by "mcc345.mnc*".

24.2.5 Informative examples of ProSe Application ID p. 103

Examples of ProSe Application IDs following the format defined in the previous clauses are provided for information below.

EXAMPLE 1:

"mcc345.mnc012.ProSeApp.Food.Restaurants.Italian"

EXAMPLE 2:

"mcc300.mnc165.ProSeApp.Shops.Sports.Surfing"

EXAMPLE 3:

"mcc300.mnc165.ProSeApp.*.Sports.Surfing"

EXAMPLE 4:

"mcc208.mnc*.ProSeApp.Shops.Food.Wine"

EXAMPLE 5:

"mcc*.mnc*.ProSeApp.Food.Restaurants.Coffee"

Figure 24.3.2-1: Structure of PLMN ID in ProSe Application Code

The PLMN-ID is composed of four parts:

Scope indicates whether the MNC, or both the MCC and the MNC, or neither are wild carded in the ProSe Application ID associated with the ProSe Application Code, with the following mapping:
- 00 global scope.
- 01 reserved.
- 10 country-specific scope.
- 11 PLMN-specific scope.
Spare bit that shall be set to 0 and shall be ignored if set to 1.
E bit indicates whether the MCC and the MNC of the ProSe Function that has assigned the ProSe Application Code are included in the PLMN ID in ProSe Application Code, with the following mapping:
- 0 Neither MCC nor MNC is included.
- 1 MCC and MNC included.
When present, the MCC and the MNC shall each have a fixed length of 10 bits and shall be coded as the binary representation of their decimal value.

In this release, the MCC and the MNC of the ProSe Function that has assigned the ProSe Application Code shall always be included in the PLMN ID in ProSe Application Code. The E bit shall always be set to 1.

24.3.3 Format of temporary identity in ProSe Application Code p. 104

160 bits when the E bit of the PLMN ID in the ProSe Application Code is set to 1.

The temporary identity in the ProSe Application Code shall contain a metadata index to reflect the current metadata version if dynamic metadata is used when allocating the ProSe Application Code. The content, position and length of metadata index is operator specific.

In this release, the MCC and the MNC of the ProSe Function that has assigned the ProSe Application Code are always included in the PLMN ID in ProSe Application Code. The length of the temporary identity in the ProSe Application Code shall always be equal to 160 bits.

The sum of the length of the ProSe Application Code Prefix and the length of the ProSe Application Code Suffix shall be 184 bits.

24.3B ProSe Application Code Suffix |R13| p. 104

24.5 Home PLMN ProSe Function Address |R13| p. 105

The Home PLMN ProSe Function address is in the form of a Fully Qualified Domain Name as defined in RFC 1035 and RFC 1123. This address consists of six labels. Each label shall consist of the alphabetic characters (A-Z and a-z), digits (0-9) and the hyphen (-) in accordance with RFC 1035. Each label shall begin and end with either an alphabetic character or a digit in accordance with RFC 1123. The case of alphabetic characters is not significant.

For 3GPP systems, if not pre-configured on the UE or provisioned by the network, the UE shall derive the Home PLMN ProSe Function address from the IMSI as described in the following steps:

Take the first 5 or 6 digits, depending on whether a 2 or 3-digit MNC is used (see TS 31.102) and separate them into MCC and MNC; if the MNC is 2-digit MNC then a zero shall be added at the beginning.
Use the MCC and MNC derived in step 1 to create the "mnc<MNC>.mcc<MCC>.pub.3gppnetwork.org" domain name.
Add the label "prose-function." to the beginning of the domain.

An example of a Home PLMN ProSe Function address is:

IMSI in use: 234150999999999;

where:

MCC = 234;
MNC = 15; and
MSIN = 0999999999,

which gives the following Home PLMN ProSe Function address:

"prose-function.mnc015.mcc234.pub.3gppnetwork.org".
