Value part of the Rejected NSSAI information element (octet 3 to v) | |
The value part of the Rejected NSSAI information element consists of one or more rejected S-NSSAIs. Each rejected S-NSSAI consists of one S-NSSAI and an associated cause value. The length of each rejected S-NSSAI can be determined by the 'length of rejected S-NSSAI' field in the first octet of the rejected S-NSSAI. The UE shall store the complete list received (NOTE 0). If more than 8 rejected S-NSSAIs are included in this information element, the UE shall store the first 8 rejected S-NSSAIs and ignore the remaining octets of the information element. | |

All other values are reserved. | |
Slice/service type (SST) (octet 4) | |
This field contains the 8 bit SST value. The coding of the SST value part is defined in TS 23.003. (NOTE 2) | |
Slice differentiator (SD) (octet 5 to octet 7) | |
This field contains the 24 bit SD value. The coding of the SD value part is defined in TS 23.003. (NOTE 3) | |
NOTE 0:
The number of rejected S-NSSAI(s) shall not exceed eight.
NOTE 1:
If octet 5 is included, then octet 6 and octet 7 shall be included.
NOTE 2:
If the Cause value is "S-NSSAI not available due to the failed or revoked network slice-specific authentication and authorization", this field shall contain the 8 bit SST value of an S-NSSAI in the S-NSSAI(s) of the HPLMN.
NOTE 3:
If the Cause value is "S-NSSAI not available due to the failed or revoked network slice-specific authentication and authorization", this field, if included, shall contain the 24 bit SD value of an S-NSSAI in the S-NSSAI(s) of the HPLMN.

Bits

1 0 0 | existing emergency PDU session |
1 0 1 | modification request |
1 1 0 | MA PDU request (NOTE) |
1 1 1 | reserved |
All other values are unused and shall be interpreted as "initial request", if received by the network. | |
NOTE:
This value shall be interpreted as "initial request", if received by a network not supporting MA PDU sessions.

Value part of the Service area list information element (octets 3 to n) | |
The value part of the Service area list information element consists of one or several partial service area lists. The length of each partial service area list can be determined from the 'type of list' field and the 'number of elements' field in the first octet of the partial service area list. The "Allowed type" fields in all the partial service area lists shall have the same value. For allowed type "0", TAIs contained in all partial service area lists are in the allowed area. For allowed type "1", TAIs contained in all partial service area lists are in the non-allowed area. 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. | |
Partial service area list: | |

0 1 1 1 1 | 16 elements |
All other values are unused and shall be interpreted as 16, if received by the UE. | |
For type of list = "00" and number of elements = k: | |
octets 2 to 4 contain the MCC+MNC, and
for j = 1, …, k: octets 3j+2 to 3j+4 contain the TAC of the j-th TAI belonging to the partial list, | |
For type of list = "01" and number of elements = k: | |
octets 2 to 4 contain the MCC+MNC, and
octets 5 to 7 contain the TAC of the first TAI belonging to the partial list. The TAC values of the other k-1 TAIs are TAC+1, TAC+2, …, TAC+k-1. | |
For type of list = "10" and number of elements = k: | |
for j = 1, …, k.
octets 6j-4 to 6j-2 contain the MCC+MNC, and octets 6j-1 to 6j+1 contain the TAC of the j-th TAI belonging to the partial list. | |
For type of list = "11": | |
Allowed type shall be coded as "0" and number of elements shall be ignored, and octets 2 to 4 containing the MCC+MNC can be ignored.
If allowed type is coded as "1", it shall be interpreted as "0". | |
MCC, Mobile country code | |
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 the 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 is not applicable in an SNPN.
