Thanks.

Thinking about this further, having the RFID subtype  is probably going to be 
extremely useful for IOT applications. A MAG/MR can potentially register 
devices identified with RFID as the NAI; Also, there seems to be some mapping 
between 64-bit EPC and IPv6 Identifier, allowing device addressability over 
IPv6 and that makes this interesting and enable some new use-cases.

Subject: Re: [DMM] MNID Types

Hi,

For RFID we refer to the EPC standards.

"The Electronic Product Code (EPC) is an identification scheme for universally 
identifying physical objects by using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) 
tags.
The standardized EPC tag encoding consists of an EPC Identifier that uniquely 
identifies an individual object, and may also include a filter value if the 
filter is needed to enable effective and efficient reading of the EPC tags. The 
EPC Identifier is a meta-coding scheme designed to support the needs of various 
industries by accommodating existing coding schemes where possible and by 
defining new schemes where necessary."

"EPC supports several encoding systems or schemes including GID (Global 
Identifier), SGTIN (Serialized Global Trade Item Number), SSCC (Serial Shipping 
Container), GLN (Global Location Number), GRAI (Global Returnable Asset 
Identifier), DOD (Department of Defense) and GIAI (Global Individual Asset 
Identifier).

For each scheme except GID, there are two variations—a 64-bit scheme (for 
example, GLN-64) and a 96-bit scheme (GLN-96). GID has only a 96-bit scheme.

Within each scheme, an EPC identifier can be represented in a binary form or 
other forms such as URI ..etc".

May be we need some subtyping.

Cheers,

Hakima

I do not know the answer for this question. I assumed DOD-96 is a mandated 
standard for RFID encoding, but looks like there are other formats like GID-96 
..etc. May be this may end up needing subtypes. We can defer this question to 
Hakima and learn some details on this, she seems to have written many books on 
RFID.

Hello Sri,

Is the DoD-96 identifier for a special kind of RFID, or is it
valid for all the RFID devices that would be of interest?

Hi Hakima,

That is a good idea. We should register a type for the Dod-96 identifier as 
well.

Hello Folks,

Do you think that considering specific but needed technologies for moving

96 bits identifiers will be also relevent to Charlie's current draft and the

<Changing the subject line to reflect the MNId discussion>


Marco,


Thinking further on the complementary identifier option.

- There is already the link-layer identifier option that can be used for
carrying the Mac address
- IMEI and MSISDN are already defined in 29.275 as a 3GPP VSE's

In some sense, the complementary identifiers are already present.

I do not see a reason why multiple MN-Id instances need to be present in a

consideration, when to use what type of identifiers.

Assuming the backend system can tie all the MN-Id's to a single
subscription, any presented identifier can be sufficient for the gateway
to do the BCE lookup.

If multiple instances can be present, then we need to deal with more error
cases. Is that really needed ?




I am wondering if it would not be more appropriate to go for a different
container option to carry such information. Something like a
complementary identifier option.


Sounds interesting. Are you suggesting we leave the current MN-ID as it
is, but use a new complementary option ? But, if the requirement is for a
Mac based identifiers, what will be there in the current MN-Id option ? We
still need to have identifier there ?

No issue with logical vs. physical ID. But I am wondering about two

Operation is clear to me in case a single MNID is present in a message
and I see the value in being
flexible to choose from different sub-types. If multiple MNIDs with
different sub-types are present in
a single message, which one should e.g. the LMA take for the BC lookup..
No big problem to solve, but
to be considered in implementations.

If the reason for multiple present MNIDs with different sub-types is to
do other things than identifying
the node or using the ID as key for a lookup, I am wondering if it would
not be more appropriate
to go for a different container option to carry such information.
Something like a complementary

Hello Charlie,

Agree with that. MN-Id as its defined today is a logical identifier. It
does not
require the identifier to be bound to a physical device or a interface
identity.
But, we have clearly seen requirements where the need is for generating
identifiers based on some physical identifiers. Those physical
identifiers include
IMSI, MSISDN, IMEI, MAC ..etc. If we can define a type for each of the
source
and the rules for generating MN-ID based using those sources, the sender
and
receiver will have clear guidance on how to use the spec. Some pointers,
explanation and examples for each of those identifiers will greatly help
avoid
inter-op issues.

Sri

Hello folks,

I think it's best to consider the MNID as simply living in a space of
identifiers, and not worry too much about whether it's a logical
identifier or a physical identifier.  If the former, then somewhere
(perhaps below the network layer) the logical identifier has been bound
to something in the physical interface, but that's not our problem.

The number space for types of MNIDs is likely to stay pretty empty, so
I'd say we could add as many types as would be convenient for the
software designers.  So, we could conceivably have several MNIDs
defined that all "looked like" NAIs (which, themselves, "look like"
FQDNs).

Regards,
Charlie P.

Yes. Currently, the MNID is if the nai format and is overloaded. The
MNID  in 3GPP specs is the IMSI-NAI (IMSI@REALM), its based on the
IMSI. Ex:
"<IMSI>@epc.mnc<MNC>.mcc<MCC>.3gppnetwork.org²

We also have MAC48@REALM;

We also have approaches to transform MAC to Pseudo IMSI, and then
carry IMSI-NAI as the MN-ID.


So, we need unique sub-types for each of the types/sources.

MN-Id based on IMSI, MSISDN, IMEI, MAC ..

Also, do we need to distinguish between IMSI and IMSI-NAI ?

It seems the MNID is somehow overloaded to carry both, node-specific
IDs,  e.g. MAC, as well as subscriber IDs, which is the IMSI.
There may be value in adding the IMEI to the list of possible types
of  node-specific IDs.

Two more comments.



4.) I'd also use sub-type value of (2) for IMSI. Just to align with
the  sub-types  defined for MN Id defined for ICMP. I suspect there
are some  implementations  already using sub-type (2). Please see
the other thread.


5.) For each of the sub-types, we need text including examples and
some
explanation on how they are used.

Hi Charlie,

1.) If EUI-48 and EUI-64 addresses are derived of a 48-bit IEEE
802.2
address, why do we need to two sub-types ? Why not have just one
sub-type for mac based identifiers ?

2.) Sub type value (1) is currently used. Its currently overloaded
for
IMSI-NAI (3GPP specs) and generic NAI based identifiers. Given the
definition of new sub-types, we need some text explaining the
motivation

3.) Proposed Sub-type value of (2) for IPv6 address. What exactly

this ? Are these CGA-based IPv6 addresses ?
