ID Meaning Description Structure
IMSI (not more than International Unique identification of mobile (LTE) 15 digits) = PLMN IMSI Mobile Subscriber subscriber Network (MME) gets the ID + MSIN = MCC + Identity PLMN of the subscriber MNC + MSIN PLMN ID (not more Public Land Mobile PLMN ID Unique identification of PLMN than 6 digits) = Network Identifier MCC + MNC Mobile Country MCC assigned by ITU 3 digits Code Mobile Network MNC assigned by National Authority 2 or 3 digits Code Mobile Subscriber MSIN Identification assigned by operator 9 or 10 digits Number Globally Unique To identify a UE between the UE and GUTI (not more GUTI Temporary UE the MME on behalf of IMSI for security than 80 bits) = Identity reason GUMMEI + M-TMSI GUTI is stored in TIN parameter of Temporary UEs MM context. TIN indicates which TIN Identity used in TIN = GUTI temporary ID will be used in the next Next Update update. SAE Temporary To locally identify a UE in short within S-TMSI (40 bits) = S-TMSI Mobile Subscriber a MME group (Unique within a MME MMEC + M-TMSI Identity Pool) MME Mobile M-TMSI Unique within a MME 32 bits Subscriber Identity GUMMEI (not more Globally Unique To identify a MME uniquely in global GUMMEI than 48 bits)= MME Identity GUTI contains GUMMEI PLMN ID + MMEI To identify a MME uniquely within a MMEI (24 bits) = MMEI MME Identifier PLMN MMEGI + MMEC Operator commissions at eNBMMEI MME Group MMEGI Unique within a PLMN 16 bits Identifier To identify a MME uniquely within a MMEC MME Code 8 bits MME Group. S-TMSI contains MMEC8 Cell- Radio Network 0x0001 ~ 0xFFF3 C-RNTI To identify an UE uniquely in a cell Temporary (16 bits) Identifier International To identify a ME (Mobile Equipment) IMEI (15 digits) = IMEI Mobile Equipment uniquely TAC + SNR + CD Identity IMEI/SV (16 digits) IMEI/Software To identify a ME (Mobile Equipment) IMEI/SV = TAC + SNR + Version uniquely SVN To identify a Cell in global (Globally ECGI (not more E-UTRAN Cell Unique) ECGI than 52 bits) = Global Identifier EPC can know UE location based of PLMN I D+ ECI ECGI E-UTRAN Cell ECI (28 Bits) = eNB ECI To identify a Cell within a PLMN Identifier ID + Cell ID To identify a specific PDN GW (P-GW) IP address (4 bytes) PGW ID PDN GW Identity HSS assigns P-GW for PDN (IP or FQDN (variable network) connection of each UE length) TAI (not more than Tracking Area To identify Tracking Area TAI 32 bits) = PLMN ID Identity Globally uniqueTAI + TAC P-GW To indicate eNB to which Tracking Tracking Area TAC Area the eNB belongs (per Cell) 16 bits Code Unique within a PLMN16 UE can move into the cells included in Tracking Area TAL list without location update (TA TAI List Variable length Identity List update) Globally unique To identify an PDN (IP network), that mobile data user wants to communicate with PDN Identity (APN) is used to PDN Identify = APN Packet Data determine the P-GW and point of PDN ID = APN.NI + APN.OI Network Identity interconnection with a PDN (variable length) With APN as query parameter to the DNS procedures, the MME will receive a list of candidate P-GWs, and then a P-GW is selected by MME with policy EPS Evolved Packet To identify an EPS bearer (Default or Bearer System Bearer 4 bits Dedicated) per an UE4 ID Identifier E-UTRAN Radio E-RAB ID Access Bearer To identify an E-RAB per an UE 4 bits Identifier Data Radio Bearer DRB ID To identify a DRB per an UE4 4 bits Identifier To identify the default bearer Linked EPS Bearer LBI associated with a dedicated EPS 4 bits ID bearer4 Tunnel End Point To identify the end point of a GTP TEID 32 bits identifier tunnel when the tunnel is established
