Question: In a mobile network utilizing 3GPP standards, when a network requests an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) from a Mobile Station (MS), what additional information may also be requested to assist in identifying the MS's configuration?
Option 1: Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC)
Option 2: Location Area Code (LAC) and Cell ID (CI)
Option 3: Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI)
Option 4: Software Version Number (SVN) associated with the IMEI
Explanation: The correct answer is Option 4 because, according to 3GPP standards for International Mobile station Equipment Identities (IMEI), when a network requests an IMEI from a Mobile Station (MS), it may also request the Software Version Number (SVN) associated with that IMEI. This SVN helps in identifying different software versions of the mobile equipment, crucial for network management, especially for handling prohibited and tracked lists.
