3GPP51.010-1Mobile Station (MS) conformance specificationPart 1: Conformance specificationTS

This subclause describes the coding of the bearer capability IE in a SETUP and in a CALL CONFIRMED message according to 3GPP TS 07.01 and 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 24.008.

More precisely, the matter of subclause 11.8.1 is the coding of the bearer capability IE in a mobile terminating SETUP and subclause 11.8.2 deals with the coding of the bearer capability IE in a mobile originating SETUP and in a CALL CONFIRMED message.

In the whole section "x", "y" and "X" have the following meanings:

– when a field is coded with values of "x", it means that several bit combinations are authorized and the allowable ones are described in the relevant paragraph or section;

– "y" means that the value of the spare bit can be set to either 0 or 1 at the sending side and that the receiving side shall accept either of these values;

– "X" in the hexadecimal coding of the Bearer Capability IE reflects all the possible values taken by an octet taking account of the number of bits coded as ‘"x" or "y" and their place in the octet.
