ADL L3 Service: MCC/MNC Documentation Unhelpful and Wrong!

3.36.15.9. The wm_l3info_CellInfo_t structure

Lai[3]
Cell PLMN (MCC/MNC coded as in 3GPP 04.18)

Why can’t it just state what the coding is??

3GPP 04.18 is a 300-page document - SiWi really shouldn’t expect customers to wade through all that!

Worse still, having ploughed through 3GPP 04.18, you find that it isn’t actually in there at all any more - it’s now moved to 3GPP TS 24.008.

And to really top things off, having ploughed through 3GPP TS 24.008 - a 600-page document - you find that the format is, in fact, identical to the format used in other structures which SiWi do document!

3.36.15.2. The wm_l3info_Cell_SyncCellParamater_t Structure

Lai[5]
Location area identity: including MCC, MNC and LAC.
–8–7–6–5-|-4–3–2–1
Byte 1 :MCC digit 2 | MCC digit 1
Byte 2 :MNC digit 3 | MCC digit 3
Byte 3 :MNC digit 2 | MNC digit 1
Byte 4 :LAC
Byte 5 :LAC (cont)

Are they deliberately trying to wind us up

(and, yes - the formatting in the document is rubbish just as shown!)

Hi awneil
I have already discussed this point with concerned people and they are finalising on the decision regarding what needs to done in this case.Will update you soon.
