Abstract

See full text

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform authentication procedures using an alternative identity (e.g., a privacy mobile subscriber identity (PMSI)) instead of an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) to protect the privacy of the user. If the UE does not have a PMSI, it may include a request for a PMSI initialization in an attach request. In some cases, the PMSI may be used once, and a new PMSI may be generated for the next attachment procedure. In some cases, a universal subscriber identity module (USIM) of the UE may not support storage of a PMSI. So a privacy module of the UE may communicate with the USIM according to the USIM's capabilities and may maintain a PMSI separately for communication with the network.
