Abstract

In order to support mobility management functions in wireless/PCS networks and provide national and international roaming, well defined, standardized subscriber/terminal numbers and identities are required. Some form of station equipment identities are also needed to ensure that service is denied to non-type-approved or stolen terminals. The article provides an overview of existing standards and current usage of numbers and identities in mobile networks, and their application and planned evolution to support a range of terminal and personal mobility services as PCS networks and services are introduced
