Section: 10.5.3.5a Network Name
Content: The purpose of this information element is to pass a text string to the mobile station. The Network Name information element is coded as shown in figure 10.5.80/3GPP TS 24.008[ Mobile radio interface Layer 3 specification; Core network protocols; Stage 3 ]  and table 10.5.94/3GPP TS 24.008[ Mobile radio interface Layer 3 specification; Core network protocols; Stage 3 ] . If the coding scheme UCS2 is used and Chinese-Japanese-Korean-Vietnamese (CJKV) ideographs as defined in ISO/IEC 10646 [72] are received in the text string, the MS shall use the MCC of the PLMN from which it received the network name information element to determine the language for those CJKV ideographs as specified in table 10.5.93a/3GPP TS 24.008[ Mobile radio interface Layer 3 specification; Core network protocols; Stage 3 ] : Table 10.5.93a/3GPP TS 24.008[ Mobile radio interface Layer 3 specification; Core network protocols; Stage 3 ] : MCC to CJKV ideograph language mapping table NOTE: This is due to CJKV ideograph language ambiguity in UCS2, in the sense that the same hexadecimal code can be mapped to different character displays dependent on the used language. The coding of CJKV ideographs itself does not allow to discriminate the CJKV ideograph language. The Network Name is a type 4 information element with a minimum length of 3 octets. No upper length limit is specified except for that given by the maximum number of octets in a L3 message (see 3GPP TS 44.006[ None ]  [19]).
