Unused bit in message shall be set as the following default values:
Alphanumeric: EOM character and partial EOM character (MSB used first) shall be repeated to fill the
remaining bits;
Numeric: space character and partial space character ( MSB used first ) shall be repeated to fill the
remaining bits;
Transparent data: binary zeros shall be used to fill the remaining bits;
The bit mapping in MDW unit for numeric and 7 bit alphanumeric are as follows.
For numeric format, bit17
14 of MDW0 construct the first numeric, bit13
10 are the second... bit1
0 of
MDW0 and bit17
16 of MDW1 are the fifth numeric.... Therefore, two MDWs will construct 9 numeric.
For 7 bit alphanumeric format, bit17
11 of MDW0 construct the first character, bit10
4 of MDW0 are the
second character, bit 3
0 of MDW0 and bit17
15 of MDW1 are the third character... The alphanumeric
definition is depended on Character Set (C.S.). The default C.S. is 00000.
EDW Definition
The EDW will follow the last MDW while the paging message is completed. Normally, the ter flag is
"0" except in a long message completion situation. For any submessage of a long message except the
last one, the ter flag of EDW is "0". Only when the long message is completed will the ter flag of EDW
be "1". There is some other system information in byte2 of EDW such as eti flag, bai flag and current
cycle number, cy5
cy0. The ch3
0 of byte3 indicate which frequency channel the current paging
message is caught from and the bn3
bn0 of byte3 indicate which batch the message is completed in.
