9.11.3.101 S-NSSAI time validity information

Taught in 4. Inside TS 24.501, the document at the centre (CT1 — the group that writes what your phone says, overview).

The purpose of the S-NSSAI time validity information information element is to provide S-NSSAI time validity information of one or more S-NSSAIs to the UE.

The S-NSSAI time validity information information element is coded as shown in figures 9.11.3.101.1 and 9.11.3.101.2 and table 9.11.3.101.1.

The S-NSSAI time validity information information element can contain per-S-NSSAI time validity information for maximum 16 S-NSSAIs.

The S-NSSAI time validity information information is a type 4 information element with a minimum length of 23 octets and a maximum length of 257 octets.

S-NSSAI (octet 6 to octet e)S-NSSAI value is coded as the length and value part of S-NSSAI information element as specified in clause 9.11.2.8 starting with the second octet.
Start time (octet e+3 to octet e+10)
The field indicates the time when the network slice identified by the S-NSSAI becomes available (for the first time if octet e+20 is included) and is represented by the number of seconds since 00:00:00 on 1 January 1970 UTC and is encoded as the 64-bit NTP timestamp format defined in IETF RFC 5905 [36A], where binary encoding of the integer part is in the first 32 bits and binary encoding of the fraction part in the last 32 bits.
Stop time (octet e+11 to octet e+18)
The field indicates the time when the network slice identified by the S-NSSAI becomes unavailable (for the first time if octet e+20 is included) and is represented by the number of seconds since 00:00:00 on 1 January 1970 UTC and is encoded as the 64-bit NTP timestamp format defined in IETF RFC 5905 [36A], where binary encoding of the integer part is in the first 32 bits and binary encoding of the fraction part in the last 32 bits.
Recurrence pattern (bit 1 to bit 4 of octet e+19)

All other values are reserved.The recurrence pattern indicates how often the time window is repeated. For example, if the time window starts at 13:00 on Wednesday January 1st 2020 and stops at 13:30 on Wednesday January 1st 2020 and the recurrent pattern is set to: - "Everyday", the time window repeats everyday from 13:00 to 13:30; - "Every week", the time window repeats every Wednesday from 13:00 to 13:30; - "Every month (absolute)", the time window repeats every 1st day of the month from 13:00 to 13:30; and - "Every month (relative)", the time window repeats every month on the first Wednesday from 13:00 to 13:30.
Recurrence end time (octet e+20 to octet e+27)
The field indicates the time when the repetition of the time window ends. If the field is not included and octet e+19 is included in the IE, the time window is repeated indefinitely.The field is represented by the number of seconds since 00:00:00 on 1 January 1970 UTC and is encoded as the 64-bit NTP timestamp format defined in IETF RFC 5905 [36A], where binary encoding of the integer part is in the first 32 bits and binary encoding of the fraction part in the last 32 bits.
