10.3.5.18 Transport channel identity

This information element is used to distinguish transport channels. Transport channels of different type (RACH, USCH, FACH/PCH, DSCH or DCH) have separate series of identities. This also holds for uplink and downlink transport channel identities (i.e. for DCH). Depending on in which context a transport channel identity n that is sent, it will have different meaning
