    A method in mobile telecommunication networks deploying Over- The-Air (OTA) provisioning of a SIM or an USIM or a Mobile Equipment (ME), in need to receive a trusted acknowledgement or Proof-of Receipt from the ME or SIM upon an OTA provisioning which is made over the existing signalling interfaces. The invention is characterised in, that the SIM or USIM or ME is generating a standards based USSD-command (Unstructured supplementary Services Data) as a result of successful or unsuccessful OTA provisioning, in that the serving mobile network will be caused to route the MAP (Mobile Application Part) -USSD message over an existing, configured SS7 domain to the home network (HPLMN), in which it exist a trusted USSD Gateway entity which is caused to relay the acknowledgement to the OTA platform.

    15 20 25 30 Traditional GSM roaming is defined in the GSM Association Permanent Reference Document AA.39 as the possibility for a mobile subscriber to automatically initiate and receive voice calls, send and receive data or to have access to other services while traveling outside the geographical coverage area of the HPLMN, using a Visited Network (VPLMN), using the same mobile phone and subscription procedures used to connect to the HPLMN.
    The traditional and simplest OTA updates of the mobile device or SIM or USIM are done by using a standard-based short message as a carrier technology, to send the OTA information or an update over a mobile network to the device or SIM. The use of SMS (Short Message Service) to carry such data generally works well, especially from a cost perspective, since mobile terminating short messages ("Terminating Short Messages") are typically not reported between roaming partners, and are not charged to the subscriber.
    Many OTA updates would require a confirmation from the device or from the SIM card. Standard Proof-of-Receipt Confirmation Concepts have been specified by ETSI / 3GPP for GSM 03.48 Remote File Management, to send a dedicated PoR from SIM to SIM-OTA platform, using a new short message in the opposite direction which carrier of PoR. This PoR can also be encrypted in accordance with the specification 03.48, to ensure security.
    The problem with using a standard-based short message for PoR is the costs this gives rise to, especially for international roaming scenarios where the cost of initiating a short message abroad can be 2009-6-06-03 090076SE h: M fl ocworldansökstext - svensk öVersättningAQc, 10 75 20 25 30 be material, thus preventing the use of PoR for OTA updates.
    This means that success in OTA provisioning cannot be ensured at the level of direct communication, and for example errors in the OTA chain cannot be identified and traced.
    The present invention solves this problem.
    The present invention relates to a method in mobile telecommunication systems using wireless (OTA, eng.
    “Over-The-Air”) provisioning of a SIM or USIM or a Mobile Equipment (ME), which needs to receive a reliable confirmation or acknowledgment of receipt from ME or SIM in an OTA provisioning that performed over the existing signaling interfaces, and is characterized by the fact that SIM or USIM or ME provides a standard-based USSD command (Unstructured Supplementary Services Data) as a result of successful or unsuccessful OTA provisioning, that the serving mobile network will be brought across a route Mobile Application Part (MAP) USSD message existing, configured SS7 domain to the home network (HPLMN) and to a USSD gateway device that is brought to forward the acknowledgment to the OTA platform.
    The present invention thus relates to a method where an encrypted or unencrypted acknowledgment of receipt can be transferred from the mobile device in a cheap manner, and back to the home PLMN and finally to the OTA platform which issued the OTA provisioning card message as a carrier of OTA. The invention uses the same SS7-SCCP signaling domain with its connectivity and routing services and standards-based MAP messages (Mobile Applica- 2009-06-03 090076EN h: dccwork application text - Swedish translation fl oc, 70 15 20 25 30 tion Part) - of which all are already implemented and in place for mobility, roaming and SMS for 3G / GSM subscribers.
    The present invention will be described in more detail below, together with exemplary embodiments of the invention and the accompanying drawings, in which - Figure 1 illustrates the present invention.
    Figure 1 illustrates a procedure in a mobile telecommunications network using OTA (Over-The-Air) provisioning of SIM or USIM or ME (Mobile Equipment), which need to receive a reliable acknowledgment or receipt (PoR). Proof-of-Receipt ”) from ME or SIM in an OTA provisioning performed over the existing signaling interfaces.
    PoR can, for example, be a confirmation of a successful roaming that has been performed. It could also be a question of obtaining a PoR after sending a measured value or some other information or data.
    In accordance with the present invention, SIM or USIM or ME generates a standards-based USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Services Data) command as a result of successful or unsuccessful OTA provisioning. The serving mobile network will be caused to route the Mobile Application Part (MAP) message over an existing, configured SS7 domain to the home network (HPLMN) and the USSD gateway device which will be forwarded for authentication to the OTA platform.
    In Figure 1, the reference numeral 1 denotes an SMS-C (Short message Service center), the numeral 2 denotes an OTA platform, 3 denotes a user's mobile device, 4 2009-06-03 090076EN h: docwork application text - Swedish translation fi oc, 10 30 denotes another user's mobile device or a stationary mounted device capable of communicating over the mobile telecommunication network, 5 denotes a reliable USSD gateway and the reference numeral 6 denotes an SS7 signaling domain.
    In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the USSD acknowledgment is caused to be sent back to ME, upon successful receipt, or upon selection and successful reading of a regular message to the mobile subscriber or user.
    In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the invention, the transmission conditions for sending or not sending said confirmation are preconfigured in ME or SIM or USIM.
    Alternatively, it is preferred that the transmission conditions for sending or not sending said confirmation be made to be part of the actual content of the message at the OTA protocol level, or as a sub-message at the carrier message-protocol level.
    In accordance with a further preferred embodiment, the message from an OTA platform or a user's ME to provision a SIM or a USIM or an ME (Mobile Equipment) is a short message (SM).
    In Figure 1, the present invention is exemplified step by step. 2009-06-03 090076EN h: docwork application text - Swedish translationAoc, 70 15 20 25 30 The reference numerals denoting arrows are underlined and refer to the order in which the present procedure works.
    The first step is that an OTA platform or a subscriber with a mobile device sends a data message or a message to a recipient via an SMS-C1. The second step is that the SMS-C transmits a short message (SM) § of an SS7 signaling domain 6 to a receiving subscriber's mobile device 4. The receiving mobile device 4 or its SIM generates a PoR in the form of a standard based USSD command and transmits í¿_§, in a third step, it generated PoR over the SS7 signaling domain to a USSD-GW 5. The reliable USSD-GW 5 transmits the PoR to Éa said SMS-C 1 or alternatively to Éb said OTA platform.
    In this way, for example, a successful OTA provisioning of roaming parameters in a roaming situation can be confirmed, regardless of how long or short chain of reliable or unreliable SS7-SCCP carriers exist between HPLMN and VPLMN.
    Since SIM or USIM or ME generates a standard-based USSD command (MAP-USSD message excluded) as, for example, a result of a successful or unsuccessful OTA- which solves the provisioning, the cost can be kept down, initially mentioned problem.
    The present invention is not to be construed as limited to the embodiments described above, as variation may be practiced within the scope of the appended claims. 2009-06-03 090076EN h: docwork ansökstext - svensk oversättningudoc,
