5G Identity

 # How Are 5G Mobile Phones and Users Identified on the Network?

 

When a mobile phone accesses the network, it needs to deliver its identity information.

Just like a person who has a real name, nickname, and ID, mobile phones also have their own identities in order to be verified on the network.

#SUPI (Subscription Permanent Identifier)  

SUPI = IMSI (MCC +MNC + MSIN) 

#SUCI (Subscription Concealed Identifier) 

SUCI was used to protect SUPI on the air interface for security reason  

SUCI usage scenario: 

*The initial registration which has not acquired 5G-GUTI 

*Received an "Identity Request " message after sending a registration request 

 

#5G-GUTI (5G Globally Unique Temporary UE Identity) 

5G-GUTI = PLMN ID + AMF ID + 5G TMSI 

5G-GUTI is allocated to the UE by AMF. =

#5G-GUTI vs GUTI 

5G = MCC + MNC + AMF Region + AMF Set ID + AMF Pointer + 5G TMSI  (80 bits) 

4G = MCC + MNC + MME Group ID + MME Code + M-TMSI           (80 bits) 

 

#GPSI (Generic Public Subscription Identifier)  

MSISDN or external ID 

>>used for addressing a 3GPP identifier in different data networks outside the 3GPP system 

 MSISDN = CC (Country Code) + NDC (National Destination Code) + SN (Subscriber Number) 

 Public identifiers used both inside and outside of the 3GPP system. 

 

#DNN = Data Network Name  

 Same as APN in 4G

-select SMF and UPF for a PDU session 

-select N6 interfaces for a PDU session 

-determine policies to apply to this PDU session 

 

PEI = Permanent Equipment Identifier 

PEI = IMEI (4G)
