RRC IE · TS 38.331 v19.4.0 (2026-09) · clause 6.3.1

SIB9 is an RRC information element of 3GPP TS 38.331 (38331), the 5G NR Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol.

First seen v15.3.0 (2018-09) · Last changed v18.0.0 (2024-01)

Definition

SIB9 contains information related to GPS time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The UE may use the parameters provided in this system information block to obtain the UTC, the GPS and the local time.

Fields (8)

FieldDescription
timeInfo
SEQUENCE { · OPTIONAL Need R
timeInfoUTC
INTEGER (0..549755813887)
Coordinated Universal Time corresponding to the SFN boundary at or immediately after the ending boundary of the SI-window in which SIB9 is transmitted. In an NTN cell, the indicated time is referenced at the uplink time synchronization reference point (RP), i.e., UE should take into account the propagation delay between UE and RP when determining the UTC time at the UE. The field counts the number of UTC seconds in 10 ms units since 00:00:00 on Gregorian calendar date 1 January, 1900 (midnight between Sunday, December 31, 1899 and Monday, January 1, 1900). See NOTE 1. This field is excluded when determining changes in system information, i.e. changes of timeInfoUTC should neither result in system information change notifications nor in a modification of valueTag in SIB1 .
dayLightSavingTime
BIT STRING (SIZE (2)) · OPTIONAL Need R
Indicates if and how daylight-saving time (DST) is applied to obtain the local time. The semantics are the same as the semantics of the Daylight Saving Time IE in TS 24.501 [23] and TS 24.008 [38]. The first/leftmost bit of the bit string contains the b2 of octet 3 and the second bit of the bit string contains b1 of octet 3 in the value part of the Daylight Saving Time IE in TS 24.008 [38].
leapSeconds
INTEGER (-127..128) · OPTIONAL Need R
Number of leap seconds offset between GPS Time and UTC. UTC and GPS time are related i.e. GPS time -leapSeconds = UTC time.
localTimeOffset
INTEGER (-63..64) · OPTIONAL Need R
Offset between UTC and local time in units of 15 minutes. Actual value = field value 15 minutes. Local time of the day is calculated as UTC time + localTimeOffset.
lateNonCriticalExtension
OCTET STRING · OPTIONAL
referenceTimeInfo-r16
ReferenceTimeInfo-r16 · OPTIONAL Need R
since v16.0.0
eventID-TSS-r18
INTEGER (0..63) · OPTIONAL Need R
since v18.0.0
This field indicates the status of the 5G access stratum time distribution parameter Clock Quality Reporting Control Information as defined in TS 23.501 [32].
