ServingLocationDescription

Validations ASN.1 Parent Types

A text description giving the geographical location of the terminal equipment.  Operators may optionally use a description as a default where there has been no terminal equipment involved.

The Serving Location Description must be present where there is an associated Serving BID and its content will then be predefined.

Where the location of the subscriber is a pricing parameter the Serving Location Description will contain a value as explicitly defined in the IOT of the Sender.  Note that in case the IOT defines both a ‘normal’ charge and one or more ‘exceptional’ charge(s) then only call/events containing an ‘exceptional’ charge need to contain the Serving Location Description.

For WLAN network usage this item is mandatory and will contain a text description of the WLAN Hot Spot, e.g. “London City Airport”.

Other than the above described circumstances the content is at the discretion of the Sender and is optionally supplied.

Derivation: 

Listed on the BID report in effect for the applicable call date as defined in TD.38 where the Serving BID is present.

Where the location of the subscriber is a pricing parameter the Serving Location Description (if present) must contain a value as explicitly defined in the IOT of the Sender.

In all other cases the content is at the discretion of the Sender.

Optionality: 

Operators may omit this information unless one of the following

·         Item Serving BID present.

·         The location of the subscriber is a pricing parameter as explicitly defined in the Sender’s IOT.

·         WLAN network usage

Conditionality: 

Must be present within group Geographical Location where a Serving BID is present or where the location of the subscriber is a pricing parameter as explicitly defined in the Sender’s IOT.

Must be present within group Geographical Location for WLAN network usage.
