OMA Mobile Codes Registry-IDs

Network architectural components of the OMA MC Enabler involved in resolution of Indirect Codes and related addressing rules for such components are as follows:

a) Code Management Platform (CMP) and its variants where applicable (i.e., CMP-Split-Parent and CMP-Split-Child). Each CMP capable of resolving Indirect Codes is assigned with a globally unique Routing Prefix.

b) A CMP is typically associated with either a Mobile Code Registry (MCR) or Multi-lateral Arrangement (MLA). A CMP can also operate on its own without any association with other CMPs.

c) Within a community of CMPs associated with a MCR, the entity that operates the MCR shall apply for a 'Registry-ID' from the appropriate OMNA Registry. Within a MLA (i.e., a community of CMPs without any MCR), the designated lead CMP in the MLA shall apply for a 'Registry-ID' from the appropriate OMNA Registry.

d) If associated with either a MCR or MLA, a CMP shall obtain its Routing Prefix assignment from the holder of a Registry-ID (i.e., either the MCR entity or the designated lead CMP in the MLA).

e) If not associated with any MCR or MLA, a CMP shall obtain its Routing Prefix directly from the appropriate OMNA Registry.

Definitions and normative functional responsibilities of the above-mentioned network components of the MC Enabler, as well as the relationship between a Registry-ID and Routing Prefixes that stem from it, are specified in the OMA Mobile Codes V1.0 Enabler (Technical Specification Sections 3.2, 8.1 and 8.2). See OMA Mobile Codes V1.0.

Applications of the Mobile Codes Registry-ID

An entity who is responsible for the Mobile Code Registry (MCR) role within a community of CMPs or is the lead CMP in a multi-lateral arrangement (MLA), as specified in the OMA Mobile Codes V1.0 Enabler, can apply for a Registry-ID. An applicant will receive a fixed length 3-hexadecimal-digit Registry-ID value when approved.
