Network Identity and Time Zone

Last updated: December 3, 2008

This section is only applicable to the lab applications.

The test set provide Network Identity and Time Zone (NITZ) information in the MM and GMM Information messages such that the mobile can store and use the information. The NITZ information including universal time (UT), daylight saving time (DST), and local time zone (LTZ).

See 3GPP TS 24.008 V7.2.0 for more information about MM and GMM Information messages.

NITZ Configurable Parameters

The test set sends the NITZ information in each of the following conditions:

GPRS registration (GPRS Attach and Routing Area Update)
GPRS PDP activation and Point-to-Point SMS over GPRS
GSM registration (IMSI Attach and Location Updating)
GSM call origination (voice, emergency call and CSD) and Point-to-Point SMS over GSM
At any time `NITZ Send Immediate' initiated in valid data connection type and connection states.

You can configure the NITZ parameters in the test set to control in which conditions the NITZ information is sent. The following table lists all the NITZ parameters that are configurable in the test set.

Parameter	GPIB Command
NITZ Universal Time-Date	CALL[:CELL]:NITZone:UTIMe:DATE[:SELected]
NITZ Universal Time-Time	CALL[:CELL]:NITZone:UTIMe:TIME[:SELected]
NITZ Local Time Zone	CALL[:CELL]:NITZone:TZONe[:LOCal][:SELected]
NITZ Daylight Saving Time Coupled	CALL[:CELL]:NITZone:DSTime[:HOURs][:SVALue][:SELected]
NITZ Daylight Saving Time Value	CALL[:CELL]:NITZone:DSTime[:HOURs]:VALue[:SELected]
NITZ Daylight Saving Time State	CALL[:CELL]:NITZone:DSTime[:HOURs]:STATe[:SELected]

NITZ Transportation in DTM	CALL[:CELL]:NITZone:SEND:TRANsport[:SELected]
NITZ Send Immediate	CALL[:CELL]:NITZone:SEND[:IMMediate]
Set NITZ Universal Time/Date to UniversalCoordinated Time/Date	CALL[:CELL]:NITZone:UTIMe:UTC[:IMMediate]

How Do I Set up and Use the NITZ Feature?

The following procedure details how to access and use the NITZ feature.

Press the CALL SETUP key.
Press the More key on the lower left corner to display the Control parms (3 of 4).
Press NITZ ( F6 ) key.
PressNITZ Setup ( F1 ) on the NITZ parms, Use the knob to highlight the parameter and change the value.

Operating Considerations

The NITZ functionality is only available in the Active Cell operating mode.

NOTE

When the NITZ information is sent via the MM and GMM Information messages, the `Universal time and local time zone' IE is always included. The `Network Daylight Saving Time' IE is only included when the `NITZ Daylight Saving Time Include State' parameter is set to

ON
