Network Identity and Time Zone Overview

The test set allows Network Identity and Time Zone (NITZ) information to be included in the MM and GMM Information messages sent to a UE, so that the UE can store and use this information. The NITZ information includes universal time (UT), daylight saving time (DST), and local time zone (LTZ).

There are several IEs in the GMM and MM Information messages that are used for NITZ. From these, only two are used for transferring time information; the `Universal time and local time zone' IE and the `Network Daylight Saving Time' IE.

See 3GPP TS 24.008 for more information on MM and GMM Information messages.

NITZ Parameters

You can configure the NITZ parameters in the test set to control the conditions under which the NITZ information is sent. The following parameters are available:

Operating Considerations

The NITZ feature is only available in Active Cell operating mode.

   
NOTE
When the NITZ information is sent using 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.
