Betreff: FW: [LI] AW: early decision on CR035 to TS 101 671 (01litd021)
/ treatment of bits

To: SA WG3 LI list
Cc: TC LI list

Dear SA3-LI colleagues,

On my request to the TC LI members for an early reaction on CR035 to TS 101
671  I have not received any objection against the proposal made in this CR.
Formally this Change Request will be approved at our next TC LI meeting in
March 2003.

So, SA3-LI can already include the explanation of the treatment of bits in a
defined "OCTET STRING" in their Release 5. 

Thanks to Manfred this message is reaching you just before the end of this
year.

Kind regards and Merry Christmas,
Peter

Hello, Peter,

have you received any comments? Will you confirm to SA3 LI that there is no
disagreement within ETSI LI?

Regards,

Manfred

Dear All,

In our meeting in Dublin we have discussed CR035 on "Coding of ASN.1
parameters of the type OCTET STRING" (from Manfred) (01litd021). The
conclusion was that there might be different implementation and delegates
were requested to check the issue at home. The CR was postponed until our
next meeting in March 2003.
However, this week 3GPP SA3-LI has had a meeting and I have received the
request to speed-up the discussion on CR035. It is the intention of SA3-LI
to include this information in Release 5 at the end of this year.
The proposed text in CR035 as explanation of the treatment of bits in a
defined "OCTET STRING" is:
For the ASN.1 parameters of the type 'OCTET STRING', the ordering of the
individual halfoctets of each octet shall be such that the most significant
halfoctet is put into bitposition 5 - 8 and the least significant halfoctet
into bitposition 1 - 4. This general rule shall not apply when parameter
formats are imported from other standards, e.g. an E.164 number coded
according to ISUP [48]. In this case the ordering of the halfoctet shall be
according to that standard and not be changed.
Since we have seen and discussed this CR already in Dublin, I am requesting
you to give an early reaction. Can you please send me your opinion on this
CR before the 12th of December. I will inform SA3-LI on our opinion of
CR035. Formal approval of CR035 will take place at our TC LI#02 meeting in
March 2003.

Kind Regards,
Peter
