METHOD FOR PROVIDING PROOF OF RECEIPT IN A MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK.

摘要

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.
