The meaning and value range of the parameters within the ARP are defined in 3GPP TS 29.212 [29]. The bits within the octet 5 are:

– Bit 1 – PVI (Pre-emption Vulnerability): See 3GPP TS 29.212[29], clause 5.3.47 Pre-emption-Vulnerability AVP.

– Bit 2 – spare

– Bits 3 to 6 – PL (Priority Level): See 3GPP TS 29.212[29], clause 5.3.45 Priority-Level AVP. PL encodes each priority level defined for the Priority-Level AVP as the binary value of the priority level.

– Bit 7 – PCI (Pre-emption Capability): See 3GPP TS 29.212[29], clause 5.3.46 Pre-emption-Capability AVP.

– Bit 8 – spare.
