5G NR Identifiers, 5G UE Identifiers, 5G Network Identifiers
This page on 5G NR Identifiers covers 5G Identifiers for UE and Network. The 5G UE identifiers include C-RNTI, temporary C-RNTI etc. The 5G network identifiers include AMF, NCGI, gNB ID, global gNB ID, TAI etc. Refer what is 5G NR? and its features.
5G UE Identifiers | C-RNTI, temporary C-RNTI
Following table-1 describes 5G UE Identifiers.
| 5G UE Identifiers | Description |
|---|---|
| C-RNTI | It is used for RRC connection and scheduling. In dual connection case, two C-RNTIs are allocated to UE for MCG and SCG functionalities independently. Here MCG and SCG stands for Master Cell Group and Slave Cell Group respectively. |
| temporary C-RNTI | • It is used for random access procedure. • It is used as random value for contention resolution purpose by UE in certain transient states. |
| I-RNTI | It is used in order to identify UE Context for RRC_INACTIVE state. It is used at NG-RAN level for NR connected to 5GC. |
5G Network Identifiers | AMF, NCGI, gNB ID, global gNB ID, TAI
Following table-2 describes 5G network Identifiers.
| 5G Network Identifiers | Description |
|---|---|
| AMF | It is used to identify Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF). |
| NCGI | • It is used to identify NR cells at global scale. • It is constructed from two values i.e. PLMN and NCI (NR Cell identity). |
| gNB ID | • It identifies gNBs within PLMN. • NCI of cells contain gNB ID field. |
| global gNB ID | • It identifies gNBs at global scale. It is constructed from PLMN and gNB ID. • It uses same MCC and MNC as used in NCGI. |
| TAI | • It is the short form of Tracking Area Identity. • It is used to identify tracking areas. • It is constructed from PLMN of tracking area and TAC (Tracking Area Code). |
