MCC, Mobile country code (octets 2 and 3) | |
The MCC field is coded as in ITU-T Recommendation E212 [42], Annex A. If the TAI is deleted the MCC and MNC shall take the value from the deleted TAI. In abnormal cases, the MCC stored in the UE can contain elements not in the set {0, 1 ... 9}. In such cases the UE should transmit the stored values using full hexadecimal encoding. When receiving such an MCC, the network shall treat the TAI as deleted. | |
MNC, Mobile network code (octet 3 bits 5 to 8, octet 4) | |
The coding of this field is the responsibility of each administration, but BCD coding shall be used. The MNC shall consist of 2 or 3 digits. For PCS 1900 for NA, Federal regulation mandates that a 3-digit MNC shall be used. However, a network operator may decide to use only two digits in the MNC in the TAI over the radio interface. In this case, bits 5 to 8 of octet 3 shall be coded as "1111". Mobile equipment shall accept a TAI coded in such a way.
In abnormal cases, the MNC stored in the UE can have:
| |
TAC, Tracking area code (octets 5 to 7) | |
In the TAC field bit 8 of octet 5 is the most significant bit and bit 1 of octet 7 the least significant bit. The coding of the tracking area code is the responsibility of each administration except that two values are used to mark the TAC, and hence the TAI, as deleted. Coding using full hexadecimal representation may be used. The tracking area code consists of 3 octets. If a TAI has to be deleted, then all bits of the tracking area code shall be set to one with the exception of the least significant bit which shall be set to zero. If a USIM is inserted in a mobile equipment with the tracking area code containing all zeros, then the mobile equipment shall recognise this TAC as part of a deleted TAI. | |
Value part of the Tracking area identity list information element (octets 3 to n) | |||||||||
The value part of the Tracking area identity list information element consists of one or several partial tracking area identity lists. The length of each partial tracking area identity list can be determined from the 'type of list' field and the 'number of elements' field in the first octet of the partial tracking area identity list. The UE shall store the complete list received. If more than 16 TAIs are included in this information element, the UE shall store the first 16 TAIs and ignore the remaining octets of the information element. | |||||||||

The MCC field is coded as in ITU-T Recommendation E.212 [42], Annex A. | |||||||||
MNC, Mobile network code | |||||||||
The coding of this field is the responsibility of each administration but BCD coding shall be used. The MNC shall consist of 2 or 3 digits. If a network operator decides to use only two digits in the MNC, MNC digit 3 shall be coded as "1111". | |||||||||
TAC, Tracking area code | |||||||||
In the TAC field bit 8 of the first octet is the most significant bit and bit 1 of third octet the least significant bit. The coding of the tracking area code is the responsibility of each administration. Coding using full hexadecimal representation may be used. The tracking area code consists of 3 octets. | |||||||||
NOTE:
If the "list of TAIs belonging to different PLMNs" is used, the PLMNs included in the list need to be present in the list of "equivalent PLMNs". This type of list is not applicable in an SNPN.
