name: PCID
full_form: Provisional Connectivity IDentity
context: 1. The M2ME uses the standard GSM/UMTS functions (GPRS/PS) to decode network information and attaches to the network of any VNO. In the attach message the M2ME sends a Provisional Connectivity ID (PCID) to the VNO. To avoid that the VNO needs to support special M2M functionality, the PCID has the same format as the IMSI. The âMCCâ and âMNCâ fields in the PCID will indicate to the VNO which entity it should contact to obtain authentication vectors to authenticate the PCID with. 2. The VNO contacts the RO (ICF function) and sends the PCID-IMSI to the ICF. Note that in some cases the RO and VNO may be the same operator. 3. Upon receiving the PCID-IMSI, the ICF queries the temporary-access credential associated with the PCID in its database. According to the credential, the ICF can generate AVs. NOTE 1: If the ICF is not already in possession of the used PCID-IMSI and related temporary-access credential, it can obtain it from the CCIF. 4. The RO transfers AVs for the claimed PCID-IMSI to
description: Provisional Connectivity ID (PCID) is a parameter used in network interactions for MCIM provisioning, specifically in the context of M2M communications. It has the same format as the IMSI and contains 'MCC' and 'MNC' fields that indicate which entity to contact for authentication vectors.
explanation: The provided text describes PCID as a parameter used in network interactions for M2M communication, highlighting its role in MCIM provisioning and its similarity to IMSI format. This classification aligns with the definition of a parameter as a specific data element used within a telecommunications system.
