Study on subscriber privacy impact in 3GPP
The present document studies the subscriber privacy impact in 3GPP. In particular, the goals of the present document are:
- Identify and understand privacy related key issues impacting 3GPP networks.
- Identify and potentially harmonize privacy requirements, e.g. MDT/SON.
- Identify existing/ongoing work relevant to 3GPP privacy issues in external standard bodies, for potential reuse in 3GPP, e.g. IETF RFC 6973 [2].
- Identify privacy risk mitigation approaches and establish privacy handling guidelines/principle and/or best practices for 3GPP for future specifications.
It is not an objective of the study to examine all existing 3GPP specifications in retrospect with respect to privacy.
NOTE: The result of this study is captured in Annex F.
