This EF contains the ciphering key Kc and the ciphering key sequence number n for enciphering in a GSM access network.
Coding:
the least significant bit of Kc is the least significant bit of the eighth byte. The most significant bit of Kc is the most significant bit of the first byte.

This EF contains information concerning the CPBCCH according to
TS 44.018.
CPBCCH storage may reduce the extent of a Mobile Station's search of CPBCCH carriers when selecting a cell. The CPBCCH carrier lists shall be in accordance with the procedures specified
TS 43.022. The MS stores CPBCCH information (from the System Information 19 message, Packet System Information 3, and Packet System Information 3 bis) on the USIM. The same CPBCCH carrier shall never occur twice in the list.

-
High/Low band indicator: If the ARFCN indicates possibly a channel in the DCS 1800 or a channel in the PCS 1900 band, if the bit is set to '1' the channel is in the higher band (GSM 1900). If the bit is set to '0', the lower band (GSM 1800) is indicated. If ARFCN indicates a unique channel, this indicator shall be set to '0'.
-
Empty indicator: If this bit is set to '1', no valid CPBCCH carrier is stored in this position. If the Empty Indicator is set to '1', the content of the CPBCCH carrier field shall be ignored. The empty indicator shall also be used, and set to '1', if storage of fewer than maximum number n, of CPBCCH carrier fields is required.

A '1' in a bit position indicates that the investigation scan shall be performed for the condition corresponding to that bit position and a '0' that it shall not be performed.
If this elementary file is not present, no investigation scan shall be performed.
