B.1 General

23.3033GPPProximity-based services (ProSe)Release 17Stage 2TS

The wildcard indicator, in the MNC or MCC part of the PLMN ID of the ProSe Application ID indicates whether this particular ProSe Application ID is PLMN specific (in which case neither MCC nor MNC will be wild carded) or countrywide (in which case the MNC part will be wild-carded) or global (in which case both the MCC and MNC parts will be wild-carded).

Countrywide or global ProSe Application IDs belong in different data structures that are managed by "authorities" not associated with a specific PLMN.

Notwithstanding the description in this annex, showing both PLMN specific and country-wide or global data structures, this does not preclude that in the future the country-wide or global data structures may supersede the PLMN specific data structures.

Figure B.1-1: Country-wide, global and PLMN specific ProSe Application IDs

This arrangement between the PLMN and the "authority" that allocates these ProSe Application IDs is out of scope of 3GPP in this release of the specification.

NOTE: The interfaces between the ProSe Functions and the repositories of global or country-wide ProSe Application IDs/ProSe Application Codes that are shown in figure B.1-1 is out of scope of 3GPP in this Release.
