Idle mode is also showing discrepency.
We know that SI type 2 contains BA list (ARFCN’s) from the same band as the serving cell,
i.e
if Serving cell is 900: SI type 2 contain 900 Frequencies
if Serving cell is 1800: SI type 2 contain 1800 Frequencies
SI type 2ter contains frequencies from the other band i.e
if Serving cell is 900: SI type 2ter contain 1800 Frequencies
if Serving cell is 1800: SI type 2ter contain 900 Frequencies
and SI Type 2bis is used if SI type 2 is incomplete.
Below are the SI messages received during Drive test. and clearly they show stuff that is against what the standard says(may be i hav lack of knowledge about the standard, in that case you people can correct me)
