System and method for remote profile provisioning

1. A method for remote profile provisioning, the method comprising:

activating, at an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC), a bootstrap profile upon powering on of a machine-to-machine (M2M) device comprising the eUICC, wherein the bootstrap profile is associated with a set of provisioning profile parameters that comprises bootstrap profile parameters, wherein the bootstrap profile parameters are pre-programmed into the eUICC without a mobile station international subscriber directory number (MSISDN) assigned thereto;

activating, via the eUICC, a machine-to-machine (M2M) polling unit based on a limited connectivity for HTTP service enabled via a mobile network operator (MNO) at the eUICC, wherein the limited connectivity for HTTP service is enabled based on the activation of the bootstrap profile;

establishing, via the M2M polling unit, an HTTP channel between the eUICC and a subscription manager-secure routing (SM-SR);

receiving, at the eUICC via a transceiver unit from the subscription manager-secure routing (SM-SR), an operational profile over the established HTTP channel;

retrieving, at the eUICC, the operational profile with at least a new mobile station international subscriber directory number (MSISDN); and

enabling, at the eUICC, the retrieved operational profile for remote SIM profile provisioning management.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the activating, via an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC), a machine-to-machine (M2M) polling unit is further based on transmitting, from the eUICC to a home subscriber server (HSS), a connection request based on a set of provisioning profile parameters associated with the activated bootstrap profile.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the limited connectivity for HTTP service is enabled based on a download request sent by the MNO upon receiving, by the MNO, a bootstrap location information indication from the HSS in response to the connection request transmitted from the eUICC to the HSS.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bootstrap profile is activated without the mobile station international subscriber directory number (MSISDN).

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the enabling, at the eUICC, the retrieved operational profile further comprises enabling the MNO to transmit to a subscription manager-data preparation (SM-DP), a subscription address update request, to update the new MSISDN.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , the method further comprising terminating a communication between the eUICC and the SM-SR based on a disabling of the bootstrap profile.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising initiating, by the MNO, a download request to a subscription manager-data preparation (SM-DP) on ES2 interface with Embedded UICC ID (EID), Integrated Circuit Card Identifier (ICCID), or Profile Type.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the limited connectivity for HTTP service is enabled through a wall garden policy on the eUICC.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the limited connectivity for HTTP service is enabled based on an acknowledgement received by the MNO from a subscription manager-data preparation (SM-DP) in response to a download request sent by the MNO to the subscription manager-data preparation (SM-DP).

10. A system for remote profile provisioning, the system comprising:

an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC), configured to:

activate a bootstrap profile upon powering on of the system, wherein the bootstrap profile is associated with a set of provisioning profile parameters that comprises bootstrap profile parameters, wherein the bootstrap profile parameters are pre-programmed into the eUICC without a mobile station international subscriber directory number (MSISDN) assigned thereto;

activate, a machine-to-machine (M2M) polling unit based on a limited connectivity for HTTP service enabled via a mobile network operator (MNO) at the eUICC, wherein the limited connectivity for HTTP service is enabled based on the activation of the bootstrap profile;

the M2M polling unit comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the M2M polling unit to:

establish, an HTTP channel between the eUICC and a subscription manager-secure routing (SM-SR); and

a transceiver, configured to receive, at the eUICC from the subscription manager-secure routing (SM-SR), an operational profile over the established HTTP channel;

wherein the eUICC is further configured to:

retrieve, the operational profile with at least a new mobile station international subscriber directory number (MSISDN), and

enable, the retrieved operational profile for remote SIM profile provisioning management.

11. The system as claimed in claim 10 , wherein to activate the M2M polling unit via the eUICC, the transceiver is further configured to transmit from the eUICC to a home subscriber server (HSS), a connection request based on a set of provisioning profile parameters.

12. The system as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the enabled retrieved operational profile at the eUICC further enables the MNO to transmit to a subscription manager-data preparation (SM-DP), a subscription address update request, to update the new MSISDN.

13. The system as claimed in claim 10 , the M2M polling unit is further configured to terminate a communication between the eUICC and the SM-SR based on at least one of the enabled retrieved operational profile at the eUICC and a disabled bootstrap profile.
