UE Time Zone is used to indicate the offset between universal time and local time in steps of 15 minutes of where the UE currently resides. The "Time Zone" field uses the same format as the "Time Zone" IE in 3GPP TS 24.008 [5].

UE Time Zone is coded as this is depicted in Figure 8.44-1. The value of the Time Zone field represents the time zone adjusted for daylight saving time. The value of the Daylight Saving Time field specifies the adjustment that has been made.

The spare bits indicate unused bits, which shall be set to 0 by the sending side and which shall not be evaluated by the receiving side.
