Update from SIMalliance on LTE
Jean-Claude Perrin
SIMalliance LTE Work Group Chairman
Over last two years,
a new generation of devices came to the market…
This has led to a growth of data traffic load
in operator network compared to voice...
15 x higher
LTE becoming the 4G standard for all markets

2] Solutions and Services
-
IP based OTA servers
- Applications leveraging
LTE/IMS and new usages
(cloud computing, IMS,
RCS...)
Mission Statement
Positioning the UICC based solutions within the LTE environment (all IP, always on,
low latency, need of trust) as the “key” means for the Carriers to offer differentiated
« value » premium services to their end users
Main Achievements
White Paper issued in May 2010 - Amsterdam LTE World Summit
To promote the combination of LTE and UICC value added solutions to support the
uptake of operators’ premium services
SIMalliance LTE Work Group
Started in Jan 2010
LTE UICC Profile Issued in June 2010 – Roma SIMposium
A collection of requirements for optimal support of LTE/EPS networks by the UICC
Next steps
UICC profile update, as needed, following MNO’s feedback and new inputs
Work on the LTE Device feature document to allow Operators to take full benefit of LTE
& UICC technologies
Marketing and Communication : video illustrating the White Paper positions, (two)
PoCs with MNOs premium services leveraging the LTE disruption and the UICC
differentiating features, participation to specific professional events

IMS is de-facto mandatory in LTE networks
ISIM is therefore useful to provision IMS keys & identities to the terminal
USAT has been adapted for LTE
Network Measurement results, Network Rejection event, BIP control on LTE parameters, Call Control
LTE terminal tests update
to verify the compliance of LTE terminals using USIM for specific procedures : PLMN selection, authentication, …
