Appendix 2: The introduction of devices
The Class of Device/Service(CoD) is a 32 bits number that of 3 field specifies the
service supported by the device. Another field specifies the minor device class, which
describes the device type in more detail
The Class of Device /Service (CoD) field has a variable format. The format is
indicated using the ’within the CoD .The length of the Format Type field is variable and
ends with two bits different from’11’.The version field starts at the least significant bit
of the CoD and may extend upwards. In the ’format#1’ of the CoD (format Type field
=00), 11 bits are assigned as a bit –mask (multiple bits can be set) each bit
corresponding to a high level generic category of service class. Currently 7 categories
are defined. These are primarily of a’ public service’ nature. The remaining 11 bits are
used for indicating device type category and other device-specific characteristics. Any
reserved but otherwise unassigned bits, such as in the Major Service Class field, should
be to 0.

which the octets are sent on the air and stored in memory. Bit number 0 is sent first on
the air .
