Service requirements
(from 3GPP TS 22.268)
Key points:
Interface provided to Government authority to submit alert messages
Government authority is responsible for interface to and authentication of alert originators
Security against fake alarms, operator must authenticate alert issuer at interface C
Support for all terminals in the affected geographical area, including roaming users and terminals
sourced from other countries
Distribution mechanisms at radio interface differ between GSM, UTRAN, LTE but are all based on
broadcast mechanisms

Technical overview, details
Message identifier ranges are assigned for different broadcast use cases
MI 0 999 are defined by GSMA for Flash messages, weather reports, traffic reports, date &
time, etc
http://gsmworld.com/documents/SE15330.pdf
MI 1000+ are defined by 3GPP for specific services, among them PWS
MI values 1100 18FF are reserved for PWS use
More than 2000 code points not assigned yet
ME application configures the reception of the MIs related with the service
Reception of any MI can be configured on USIM by the HPLMN operator
Legacy terminal processing of unforeseen data is normatively specified and
thus predictable
alert category, character set, broken sequence, etc.
All alert categories shall be globally unique
National or regional exceptions cannot change the meaning of alert code
Japanese Tsunami alert code cannot be re-used for avalanche warning in Switzerland
CMAS Presidential Level Alert code point can be re-used for EU-Alert 1
Additions to existing codes are possible
National extensions must be defined globally

Decimal Hex Meaning
0 999 0000 03E7 Allocated by GSMA (see GSMA PRD SE.15 http://gsmworld.com/documents/SE15330.pdf )
... ...
4352 1100 ETWS CBS Message Identifier for earthquake warning message.
4353 1101 ETWS CBS Message Identifier for tsunami warning message.
4354 1102 ETWS CBS Message Identifier for earthquake and tsunami combined warning message.
4356 1104 ETWS CBS Message Identifier for messages related to other emergency types.
4357 4359 1105 - 1107 ETWS CBS Message Identifier for future extension.
... ...
4360 - 4369 1108 - 1111 Intended for standardization in future versions of this document. These values shall not be transmitted
by networks that are compliant to this version of this document. If a Message Identifier from this
range is in the "search list", the ME shall attempt to receive this CBS message.
4370 1112 CMAS CBS Message Identifier for Presidential Level Alerts. Not settable by MMI.
4371 1113 CMAS CBS Message Identifier for Extreme Alerts with Severity of Extreme, Urgency of Immediate,
and Certainty of Observed. Settable by MMI as per CMAS subscriber opt-out requirements
... ...
4400 - 6399 1130 18FF CBS Message Identifier for future PWS use. These values shall not be transmitted by networks that
are compliant to this version of this document. If a Message Identifier from this range is in the
"search list", the ME shall attempt to receive this CBS message.
6400 40959 1900 9FFF Intended for standardization in future versions of this document . These values shall not be
transmitted by networks that are compliant to this version of this document. If a Message
Identifier from this range is in the "search list", the ME shall attempt to receive this CBS
message.
