Abstract

Defines the feature Network Identity and Timezone (NITZ). The feature provides the means for serving PLMNs to transfer current identity and the local timezone to mobile stations, and for the mobile stations to store and use this information. This enhances roaming by permitting accurate indication of PLMN identities that are either newer than the ME or have changed their name since the ME was sold. Additionally, timezone information can be utilized by MEs as desired.
