26.6.17 Default contents of GSM 480 layer 3 messages for RR tests
3GPP51.010-1Mobile Station (MS) conformance specificationPart 1: Conformance specificationTS
This subclause contains the default values of GSM 480 L3 messages, which unless indicated otherwise in subclause 26.6 shall be transmitted by the system simulator and which are required to be received from the GSM 480 MS under test. These values are used in order to be consistent with the phase 2 version of 26.6.
The necessary L3 messages are listed in alphabetic order, with the exception of the SYSTEM INFORMATION messages, where it is the information elements which are listed in alphabetic order (this is because some information elements occur in several SYSTEM INFORMATION types).
In this subclause, decimal values are normally used. However, sometimes a hexadecimal value, indicated by an "H", or a binary value, indicated by a "B" is used.
Default SYSTEM INFORMATION:
NOTE 1: SYSTEM INFORMATION 2 bis, SYSTEM INFORMATION 5 bis, SYSTEM INFORMATION 7, and SYSTEM INFORMATION 8 messages are not used.
