AT+CCED=0,16 (among others) reports details for up to 6 neighbour cells, followed by a list of timing advance figures.

But, when fewer than 6 neighbours are available, how do we know how many neighbour dumps are included❓

Or, to put it another way, how do we know where the Timing Advance information starts❓

For example:

> [@at+cced=0](#):
>
> +CCED: 234,33,0017,8c96,41,834,255,0, 234,33,0017,6906,45,813,9, 234,33,0017,3809,42,783,8, 234,33,0017,6903,44,799,26, 234,33,0017,8c95,45,794,16,234,33,0017,1a48,40,867,15, 0,5,2,5,1,10

How do we know that the 0 is the first TA figure and not the 6th MCC ❓

Count commas?

Good one!

It’s a kludge, but it should work…

That’s how I had to do it myself 🙂
