Integer Number Value

Figure 8.118-1: Integer Number

The Integer Number value is encoded with the number of octets defined in the Length field, e.g. when n=2, the range of the integer number value is from 0 to 65535.

The Integer Number value shall be encoded as further described below for the following information elements:

– Maximum Wait Time IE: the length shall be set to 2, i.e. the integer number value shall be encoded as a 16 bit unsigned integer.

– DL Buffering Suggested Packet Count IE: the length shall be set to 1 or 2;

– UE Usage Type IE: the length shall be set to 1, i.e. the integer number value shall be encoded as a 8 bit unsigned integer as specified in clause 7.3.202 of 3GPP TS 29.272 [70].

– Remaining Running Service Gap Timer IE: the length shall be set to 4, i.e. the integer number value shall be encoded as a 32 bit unsigned integer.

– DL Data Packet Size IE: the length shall be set to 2, i.e. the integer number value shall be encoded as a 16 bit unsigned integer.
