File common/chapters/glossary.adoc:

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/12567/1/common/chapters/glossary.adoc@89
PS1, Line 89:   Equipment Identity Register
"Core network element that stores and manages IMEI numbers"? (does it do something else?)


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/12567/1/common/chapters/glossary.adoc@133
PS1, Line 133:   International Mobile Equipment Identity; 14-digit unique identifier for the mobile phone plus a check digit (total digits: 15)
- Mention "decimal" somehow?
- modems also have IMEIs
maybe "unique 14-digit decimal number to globally identify a mobile device"?

To me it feels like "check digit" is a bit of a weird name. "checksum digit"?

>From the recent osmo-hlr patches I remember that we're not always handling the IMEI in 15 digits, maybe "optionally with a 15th checksum digit"?


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/12567/1/common/chapters/glossary.adoc@135
PS1, Line 135:   IMEI software version; 14-digit unique identifier for the mobile phone plus two software version digits (total digits: 16)
(same)


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/12567/1/common/chapters/glossary.adoc@155
PS1, Line 155:   Location Update
in the specs usually "Location Updating"

maybe add "Can be of type IMSI-Attach or Periodic. Procedure that indicates a subscriber's physical presence in a given radio cell."


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/12567/1/common/chapters/glossary.adoc@244
PS1, Line 244:   Proxy Visitor Location Register
first time I hear of that, what does it do?


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/12567/1/common/chapters/glossary.adoc@296
PS1, Line 296:   Supplementary Services
maybe add "textual dialog between subscriber and core network, e.g. '*#100#' -> 'Your extension is 1234'"


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/12567/1/common/chapters/glossary.adoc@320
PS1, Line 320:   Technical Specification
heh


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/12567/1/common/chapters/glossary.adoc@344
PS1, Line 344:   Visitor Location Register
"Volatile storage of attached subscribers in the MSC"
