Where to get MAP packet format ?

Hi. This is my first message here. So, don't beat me much )
The reason why I am here is that I need to know MAP protocol packet format.
I've downloaded MAP Specification from 3gpp here http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/0902.htm.
Looking through the hundreds of pages I didn't find packet format.
I want to try to write software HLR.
Please, point me, where I can get that information ?

You refer Annex B part of the specification. It has the ASN.1 message format for each MAP message. let me know if you required more help

dineshonss7: could you give more hints how to implement HLR simulator? It seems that I also need this stuff to test my map-any-time-interrogation interface.
Thanks a lot!

If you are going to develop HLR simulator the you need to implement all response MAP messages for HLR service and small database which will have entry of all mobile users information on the basic of IMSI/MSISDN. let me know if you need more clarification

hi dineshoness7, thanks for your kind reply.
my task is to implement the api for map-any-time-interrogation service with MAP/TCAP. so it is enough to simulator the response from HLR and decoding it.
could you send me some example ans.1 code stream for this purpose?
the main purpose is to get the location of the subscriber. thx!
