It's basically the CDMA equivalent of a GSM SIM.

Don't have a tutorial on me right now...you could try googling CDMA RUIM.

RUIM is equivalent of SIM in CDMA. It was available in Reliance with GTran handsets and Telson Watch phone. An RUIM enabled handset gives you the option of changing phones with as much ease as the GSM users do. Most of the Nokia Phones are equipped with a RUIM slot. TATA normally sells its Nokia handsets with RUIM enabled. TATA RUIM is commercially known as T-SIM.

Enabling the RUIM slot on your Nokia handset would give you the ease of shifting operators just by replacing the RUIM. I hope that makes things a little clearer for you Abhay.

so now if we enable the RUIM (<< which i think is where the customer details like number and stuff are stored now) will enable us to shift operators or even handsets just by taking the sim and placing in onto another mobile

is that right ??? :confuse:

so if it is so then y is reliance reluctant for all of its handsets being RUIM enabled !! y not make it a standard worldwide !!!

Its not standardized because of few reason:

1. US standards for CDMA does not permit RUIM so easily. Each handset wether CDMA / GSM, it must be SIM or RUIM locked.

2. Qualcomm does not want it to happen.

3. Operators do not want to let go their profits from handset as in CDMA handset is commodity without much of resell value. Many of RIMWEB members must be having more numbers of CDMA handsets than GSM handsets. Because of few or no buyer as well as if buyer not interested to sell in few hundered bucks. Perhaps this is the reason in INDICOM no one will tell you that you can change handset by swapping RUIM. They wll say phone has to be TATA PROVISIONED.

About implementation, China Unicom is 100% RUIM enabled handset service provider.

CDMA Frequently Asked Questions

1) What R-UIM-specific data must I define to ensure connectivity to my

CDMA network?

At a minimum, the following items should be defined:

IMSI_M (MIN) and/or IMSI_T (IMSI)

CDMA Home SID/NID

MDN

PRL

A-Key (if authentication is required)

Note: The A-Key can be dynamically generated during R-UIM personalization.

2) What’s the difference between IMSI_M and IMSI_T? When do we use

IMSI_M or IMSI_T?

IMSI_M is a MIN-based IMSI that uses the lower 10-digits to store the MIN (Mobile

Identification Number). IMSI-M is used in IS-95A systems.

IMSI_T is a true IMSI, not associated with the MIN. It is similar to a GSM IMSI used in

IS-95B systems.

In the authentication process, if IMSI_M is programmed, the “MIN” portion of IMSI_M

shall be used as an input parameter of the authentication calculation. If IMSI_T is

programmed, a 32-bit subset of IMSI_T shall be used. The selection of IMSI_M or

IMSI_T for use in the authentication process depends on which one is programmed on

the R-UIM.

3) Since the majority of R-UIMs are 32KB/64KB in size, how is memory

allocated in terms of CDMA related files/data?

Many aspects of memory allocation are operator specific. However, the following

conservative memory usage map may be used for reference:

ADN File = 8KB

SMS File = 4KB

PRL File = 4KB

EPRL File = 2KB

General R-UIM Data = 3KB

Additional Overhead = 2KB

This memory map allows over 40K of free memory on a 64K card for installation of

additional JavaCard-based applications.

Page 3

CDMA Frequently Asked Questions

4) Once an RUIM is deployed, what can be done and how?

New services can be downloaded to the R-UIM through installation and management of

JavaCard-based applications. These applets can provide additional services such as

banking, a handset-locking mechanism, enhanced customer service, and location-based

services.

It is possible to remotely manage the RUIM over the air by using an OTA platform.

OTA functions may include the ability to remotely update R-UIM files and download

applets to the card. This will allow introduction of new services (as defined above)

during deployment/post-issuance.

Users may then transfer their R-UIM from one device to another maintaining all

personal data and applications. If a GSM subscription exists on the R-UIM, the user can

move the R-UIM to a GSM (or Multi-Mode) phone to access GSM service.

5) How does the smart card address network security concerns?

Subscription data is loaded on the R-UIM instead of on the handset. The R-UIM

provides subscription portability and added security while removing key management

functions from the handset. Some provision data (i.e., A-Key) is stored securely on the

R-UIM and can never be read.

The A-Key is the shared secret key value used during network authentication (CAVE

computation). The A-Key value is stored securely on the R-UIM and HLR/AUC (Home

Location Register/Authentication Center). The CDMA operator determines the version

of CAVE used for authentication. The R-UIM performs all authentication calculations.

Gemplus strongly encourages CDMA operators to activate authentication on their

network. This increases network access security and reduces fraudulent mobile

equipment use. A subsidy lock may also be added to the handset/R-UIM for additional

access security.

6) How do I manage subsidized handsets with an R-UIM?

An R-UIM lock application limits the use of the handset with an R-UIM containing a

specific operator’s Mobile Network Code (MNC). In addition, a handset lock/tracking

application may be loaded on the R-UIM that verifies the handset ESN/MEID upon every

power-up. If a new handset is detected, the operator is notified via a message sent

over the network to a handset management server.

7) When do I have to buy new R-UIMs, and when can I upgrade the ones I

have?

A new R-UIM should only be necessary when the operator wants to introduce new

applications/services not currently supported by existing R-UIMs deployed in the field

due to functionality or memory constraints.

For example, a new application or R-UIM data map may require more memory or

enhanced cryptographic functions not available on current cards. Upcoming R-UIM

operating systems will provide the ability to remotely update OS features, allowing the

operator to add functionality and prolong the R-UIM’s deployment life.

8) Can I change the memory map on already-deployed R-UIMs?

Yes. An OTA platform can update R-UIMs with new files or applications using available

card memory. Furthermore, these files/applications can be extended, deleted, and re-

allocated to optimize a card’s memory. Gemplus offers these services.

9) What modifications do I need in my network?

None. You can use an R-UIM “out-of-the-box”. The R-UIM should be configured

appropriately with the MIN, Home SID/NID, PRL, A-Key, and UIMID. The UIMID will

serve as the equivalent of an ESN for subscription identification and authentication.

Operators must load their HLR/AUC with corresponding UIMID values provided by

Gemplus in the Output File.

Input data from the operator is used to correctly provision the card during

personalization. Additional services such as remote file/application management will

require an OTA platform for the CDMA network.

10) How much of the memory map can I change?

Most of the file structure and application data/code can be modified. Certain key data

files may not be updated due to access condition restrictions defined during card

personalization. An OTA platform is necessary to modify these files post-issuance.

11) If I had a 32KB RUIM with only 1KB allocated for the PRL, how can I

modify deployed cards to extend this? Do I need to buy a new card with

larger memory?

If free memory is unavailable, outdated/unused files/applications can be deleted to free

memory for a larger PRL file. If memory is available, the file may be extended to

increase its size. On deployed R-UIMs, an OTA platform is required to perform these

updates.

12) Walk me through the previous process, step by step.

If no free memory is available:

Delete unused files/applications

Extend the PRL file

Update the PRL with new content

If free memory is available:

Extend the PRL file as needed

Update the PRL with new content

13) For a large PRL file, what type of RUIM should I purchase?

Gemplus recommends a higher memory 64KB or 128KB R-UIM. The

GemXplore

World Class

family of CDMA R-UIMs offers a wide range of card memory sizes and

features. Contact Pura Font at pura.font@gemplus.com (972-930-6077) for more

information.

14) When I order handsets, the handset manufacturers ask me for PRI

(Product Release Instruction) configuration. Is there an equivalent for R-

UIM?

Yes, an equivalent of the PRI resides on the R-UIM. The PRI contains the settings for

the various configuration items on the handset that may be network specific but not

necessarily subscription specific, such as standard CDMA channels, slot cycle index,

default PRL, etc.

15) How are MCC and MNC values obtained by the network operator?

The MCC value should be determined using the ITU-T RECOMMENDATION E.212

standard entitled "LIST OF MOBILE COUNTRY OR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA CODES". This

document provides a master list of country codes used by the telecom industry. There

is no global governing body that manages MNC values. Therefore, the MNC should be

determined using a local regulatory body.

16) What’s the difference between CAVE and CAVE38?

CAVE is used for CDMA authentication, and CAVE38 is used for iDEN authentication,

which is compatible with GSM A3/A8 authentication.

hi

just one major doubt.

cannot understand the jargon surrounding RUIM

RELIANCE has started giving UIM cards.

in this case is it possible for me to use any good pda cdma phone with ruim slot, n reliance network in india.

can i get the phone from US.
