Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS); LTE; UICC-terminal interface; Physical and logical characteristics (V12.1.0; 3GPP TS 31.101 version 12.1.0 Release 12)
The present document specifies the interface between the UICC and the Terminal for 3G telecom network operation. The present document specifies: - the requirements for the physical characteristics of the UICC; - the electrical interface between the UICC and the Terminal; - the initial communication establishment and the transport protocols; - the model which serves as a basis for the logical structure of the UICC; - the communication commands and the procedures; - the application independent files and protocols. The administrative procedures and initial card management are not part of the present document. For the avoidance of doubt@ references to clauses of ETSI TS 102 221 [1] include all the subclauses of that clause@ unless specifically mentioned. The target specification ETSI TS 102 221 [1] contains material that is outside of the scope of 3GPP requirements and the present document indicates which parts are in the scope and which are not. A 3GPP ME may support functionality that is not required by 3GPP@ but the requirements to do so are outside of the scope of 3GPP.
