Figure 8.115-1: APN and Relative Capacity
The Relative Capacity represents the resources configured for the given APN as compared to the total resources of the target PGW, in percentage. It shall take binary coded integer values from 1 up to 100. Other values shall be considered as 0.
The APN Length in octet ‘6’ indicates the length of the APN field.
The APN field, from octet 7 to ‘m’ shall be encoded as octet 5 to ‘(n+4)’ defined in clause 8.6.
