10.5.5.12a MS Radio Access capability

The purpose of the MS Radio Access capability information element is to provide the radio part of the network with information concerning radio aspects of the mobile station. The contents might affect the manner in which the network handles the operation of the mobile station.

The MS Radio Access capability is a type 4 information element, with a maximum length of 52 octets.

The MS Radio Access capability information element is coded as shown in figure 10.5.128a/3GPP TS 24.008 and table 10.5.146/3GPP TS 24.008.

For the indication of the radio access capabilities the following conditions shall apply:

– Among the three Access Type Technologies GSM 900-P, GSM 900-E and GSM 900-R only one shall be present.

– Due to shared radio frequency channel numbers between GSM 1800 and GSM 1900, the mobile station should provide the relevant radio access capability for either GSM 1800 band OR GSM 1900 band, not both.

– The MS shall indicate its supported Access Technology Types during a single MM procedure.

– If the alternative coding by using the Additional access technologies struct is chosen by the mobile station, the mobile station shall indicate its radio access capability for the serving BCCH frequency band in the first included Access capabilities struct, if this information element is not sent in response to an Access Technologies Request from the network or if none of the requested Access Technology Types is supported by the MS. Otherwise, the mobile station shall include the radio access capabilities for the frequency bands it supports in the order of priority requested by the network (see 3GPP TS 44.060 [76]).

– The first Access Technology Type shall not be set to "1111".

For error handling the following shall apply:

 If a received Access Technology Type is unknown to the receiver, it shall ignore all the corresponding fields.

 If within a known Access Technology Type a receiver recognizes an unknown field it shall ignore it.

 For more details about error handling of MS radio access capability see 3GPP TS 48.018 [86].

NOTE: The requirements for the support of the A5 algorithms in the MS are specified in 3GPP TS 43.020 [13].

10.5.5.15 Routing area identification

The purpose of the routing area identification information element is to provide an unambiguous identification of routing areas within the GPRS coverage area.

The routing area identification is a type 3 information element with 7 octets length.

The routing area identification information element is coded as shown in figure 10.5.130/3GPP TS 24.008 and table 10.5.148/3GPP TS 24.008.

MCC, Mobile country code (octet 2 and 3)

The MCC field is coded as in ITU-T Rec. E212, Annex A.

If the RAI is deleted, the MCC and MNC shall take the value from the deleted RAI.

In abnormal cases, the MCC stored in the mobile station can contain elements not in the set {0, 1 … 9}. In such cases the mobile station should transmit the stored values using full hexadecimal encoding. When receiving such an MCC, the network shall treat the RAI as deleted.

MNC, Mobile network code (octet 3 bits 5 to 8, octet 4)

The coding of this field is the responsibility of each administration but BCD coding shall be used. The MNC shall consist of 2 or 3 digits. For PCS 1900 for NA, Federal regulation mandates that a 3-digit MNC shall be used. However a network operator may decide to use only two digits in the MNC in the RAI over the radio interface. In this case, bits 5 to 8 of octet 3 shall be coded as "1111". Mobile equipment shall accept RAI coded in such a way.

NOTE 1: In earlier versions of this protocol, the possibility to use a one digit MNC in RAI was provided on the radio interface. However as this was not used this possibility has been deleted.

NOTE 2: In earlier versions of this protocol, bits 5 to 8 of octet 3 were coded as "1111". Mobile equipment compliant with these earlier versions of the protocol may be unable to understand the 3-digit MNC format of the RAI, and therefore unable to register on a network broadcasting the RAI in this format.

In abnormal cases, the MNC stored in the mobile station can have:

– digit 1 or 2 not in the set {0, 1 … 9}, or

– digit 3 not in the set {0, 1 … 9, F} hex.

In such cases the mobile station shall transmit the stored values using full hexadecimal encoding. When receiving such an MNC, the network shall treat the RAI as deleted.

The same handling shall apply for the network, if a 3-digit MNC is sent by the mobile station to a network using only a 2-digit MNC.

LAC, Location area code (octet 5 and 6)

In the LAC field bit 8 of octet 5 is the most significant bit and bit 1 of octet 6 the least significant bit.

The coding of the location area code is the responsibility of each administration except that two values are used to mark the LAC, and hence the RAI, as deleted. Coding using full hexadecimal representation may be used. The location area code consists of 2 octets.

If a RAI has to be deleted then all bits of the location area code shall be set to one with the exception of the least significant bit which shall be set to zero. If a SIM/USIM is inserted in a Mobile Equipment with the location area code containing all zeros, then the Mobile Equipment shall recognise this LAC as part of a deleted RAI.

RAC, Routing area code (octet 7)

In the RAC field bit 8 of octet 7 is the most significant. The coding of the routing area code is the responsibility of each administration. Coding using full hexadecimal representation may be used. The routing area code consists of 1 octet.

10.5.5.15a Routing area identification 2

The purpose of the Routing area identification 2 information element is to provide an unambiguous identification of routing areas within the GPRS coverage area.

The Routing area identification 2 is a type 4 information element with a length of 8 octets.

The Routing area identification 2 information element is coded as shown in figure 10.5.130a/3GPP TS 24.008 and table 10.5.148a/3GPP TS 24.008.
