USED_DL_COVERAGE_CLASS (2 bit field)
This information element is defined in sub-clause 12.71.

Global TFI IE
This information element contains the TFI of the mobile station’s downlink TBF or uplink TBF. This field is defined in sub-clause 12.10.

T_AVG_T (5 bit field)
The T_AVG_T parameter is a signal strength filter period for power control in packet transfer mode. 2^(k/2) / 6 multiframes, k = 0, 1, 2, …, 25 (see 3GPP TS 45.008). Values greater than 25 shall be interpreted as 25 by the mobile station.

EC Packet Timing Advance
This information element is defined in sub-clause 12.74.

GAMMA (5 bit field)
This field is the binary representation of the parameter G_CH for MS output power control in units of 2 dB, see 3GPP TS 45.008. The field is coded according to the following table:

bit
5 4 3 2 1
0 0 0 0 0 G_CH = 0 dB
0 0 0 0 1 G_CH = 2 dB
: : : :
1 1 1 1 0 G_CH = 60 dB
1 1 1 1 1 G_CH = 62 dB
