5 File Access API
The (U)SIM file access API consists of the package uicc.usim.access. This package defines additional constants to those
defined in the uicc.access package from ETSI TS 102 241 [2]. The access to the file system, defined in TS 51.011 [4]
and TS 31.102 [3], is the one specified in ETSI TS 102 241 [2] via the UICC FileView Interface. When selecting a
cyclic file the current record number is defined, this applies also to files located under DF .
GSM
6 (U)SAT Framework
6.0 Overview
The (U)SIM toolkit API consists of the uicc.usim.toolkit package for toolkit features defined in TS 31.111 [7] and
TS 51.014 [8], and is based on the uicc.toolkit package defined in ETSI TS 102 241 [2].

6.1 Applet triggering
See ETSI TS 102 241 [2].
6.1.1 Exception Handling
The following clause describes the handling of exceptions by the (U)SAT Framework in addition to the behaviour
defined in ETSI TS 102 241 [2] for the CAT Runtime Environment.
If an Applet triggered by EVENT_FORMATTED_SMS_PP_ENV event throws an ISOException with the reason code
(0x6FXX), it shall be sent to the terminal.
Other Exceptions shall not be propagated to the terminal.
6.2 Definition of Events
The following events can trigger a Toolkit Applet in addition to the events defined in ETSI TS 102 241 [2], all short
values are reserved in ETSI TS 102 241 [2]:

EVENT_FORMATTED_SMS_PP_ENV, EVENT_UNFORMATTED_SMS_PP_ENV,
EVENT_FORMATTED_SMS_PP_UPD, EVENT_UNFORMATTED_SMS_PP_UPD
There are two ways for a card to receive a Short Message Point to Point: via an ENVELOPE(SMS-PP
DOWNLOAD) APDU as defined in TS 31.111 [7] and TS 51.014 [8] or an UPDATE RECORD EF APDU
SMS
as defined in TS 31.102 [3] and TS 51.011 [4]. The EF can be either located under the DF or under
SMS Telecom
any ADF as defined in TS 31.102 [3] and TS 51.011 [4].
The received Short Message may be:
- formatted according to TS 31.115 [9] or an other protocol to identify explicitly the toolkit applet for
which the message is sent;
- unformatted (e.g. a toolkit applet specific protocol ) then the (U)SAT Framework will pass this data to all
registered toolkit applets.
When the Short Message is received as Concatenated Short Messages as defined in TS 23.040 [10], it is the
responsibility of the (U)SAT Framework to link single Short Messages together to re – assemble the original
message before any further processing. The original Short Message shall be placed in one SMS TPDU TLV
(with TP-UDL field coded on one octet) included in the USATEnvelopeHandler. The concatenation control
headers used to re-assemble the short messages in the correct order shall not be present in the SMS TPDU. The
TP-elements of the SMS TPDU and the Address (TS – Service-Centre-Address) shall correspond to the ones in
the last received Short Message (independently of the Sequence number of Information-Element-Data).

3GPP TS 31.130 version 15.2.1 Release 15 9 ETSI TS 131 130 V15.2.1 (2020-01)
The minimum requirement for the (U)SAT Framework is to process a concatenated short message with the
following properties:
- the Information Element Identifier is equal to the 8-bit reference number.
- it contains uncompressed 8 bit data or uncompressed UCS2 data.
EVENT_FORMATTED_SMS_PP_ENV
Upon reception of a TS 31.115 [9] formatted Short Message Point to Point (Single or Concatenated) via an
ENVELOPE, the (U)SAT Framework shall:
- verify the security of the Short Message as per TS 31.115 [9];
- trigger the toolkit applet registered with the corresponding TAR;
- take the optional Application Data posted by the triggered toolkit applet if present;
- secure and send the response packet using SMS-DELIVER-REPORT or SMS-SUBMIT.
When the toolkit applet is triggered, data shall be provided deciphered.
EVENT_UNFORMATTED_SMS_PP_ENV
Upon reception of an unformatted Short Message Point to Point (Single or Concatenated) via an
ENVELOPE, the (U)SAT Framework shall trigger all the Toolkit Applets registered to this event.
NOTE: As a consequence of the EnvelopeResponseHandler availability rules specified in clause 6.6,
only the first triggered toolkit applet is guaranteed to be able to send back a response.
EVENT_FORMATTED_SMS_PP_UPD
Upon reception of a TS 31.115 [9] formatted Short Message Point to Point (Single or Concatenated) via an
UPDATE RECORD EF , the (U)SAT Framework shall:
SMS
- update the EF file with the data received, it is then up to the receiving toolkit applet to change
SMS
the SMS stored in the file (i.e. the toolkit applet need to have access to the EF file)
SMS
- verify the security of the Short Message as per TS 31.115 [9];
- convert the UPDATE RECORD EF APDU into a COMPREHENSION TLV List;
SMS
- trigger the toolkit applet registered with the corresponding TAR;
When the toolkit applet is triggered, data shall be provided deciphered.
The USATEnvelopeHandler provided to the applet shall:
- return BTAG_SMS_PP_DOWNLOAD to the getTag() method call;
- return the Comprehension TLV list length to the getLength() method call;
The USATEnvelopeHandler provided to the applet shall contain the following COMPREHENSION TLVs:
- Device Identities TLV
The Device Identities Comprehension TLV is used to store the information about the absolute record
number in the EF file and the value of the EF record status byte, and is formatted as defined
SMS SMS
below:

Device identities Comprehension TLV
Device Identities tag
length = 02
Absolute Record Number
Record Status
