9.2.1.2 RAB ID
This element uniquely identifies a radio access bearer for a specific CN domain for a particular UE, which makes the RAB ID unique over one Iu connection. The RAB ID shall remain the same for the duration of the RAB even when the RAB is relocated to another Iu connection.
The purpose of the element is to bind data stream from the Non Access Stratum point of view (e.g. bearer of call or PDP context) and radio access bearer in Access Stratum. The value is also used in the RNC to relate Radio Bearers to a RAB. The content of this information element is transferred unchanged from the CN node (i.e. MSC or SGSN) via the RNC to the UE by RANAP messages and RRC messages. For RRC messages refer to TS 25.331 [10].
The element contains binary representation of either the Stream Identifier (SI) for CS domain or the Network Service Access Point Identifier (NSAPI) for PS domain. These identifiers are coded in the RAB ID element in accordance with the coding of the Stream Identifier IE and with the coding of the NSAPI IE in TS 24.008 [8].

The Target ID IE identifies the target for the relocation of SRNS.

In case of UMTS to E-UTRAN relocation, the Target ID may be either the eNB-ID or the Corresponding RNC-ID of the relocation target.
NOTE: The mapping between the Corresponding RNC-ID and the actual eNB-ID of the relocation target is defined by the network operator and is outside the scope of this specification. Preferably the Target RNC ID used for an eNB contains the LAI and RAC mapped from the GUMMEI of the MME serving the target eNB as specified within TS 23.003 [19]. This avoids configuration of additional identity resolutions and also guarantees that LAIs used for E-UTRAN and UTRAN are mutually exclusive.

9.2.1.60 Cell Load Information Group
The Cell Load Information Group IE is an information element that is produced by source system BSC and is transmitted to target system RNC via transparent containers. This IE contains the load information of the source cell for either the Downlink or the Uplink or both as well as the source cell identifier the included cell load information corresponds to. If the RNC supports cell load-based inter-system handover, this information shall be understood, when available, as the current traffic load in the indicated source cell prior to the relocation.

9.2.1.96 IRAT Measurement Configuration
The IRAT Measurement Configuration IE contains information for instructing the incoming UE to continue measuring the cells of the source RAT after a successful inter-system handover. It is used by the source RAT to specify the minimum radio quality and the period of time measurements should last for triggering a HO report for unnecessary HO to another RAT. A subset of source RAT frequencies to measure may be specified. The measurement bandwidth of a carrier frequency may also be specified in order to improve the measurement accuracy and reduce measurement time. The IRAT Measurement Configuration IE shall contain at least one of the RSRP or RSRQ thresholds. If only one of the thresholds is present, the target RAT will use the present threshold to compare against the measurement results received from the UE. HO Report should be sent if there is either a single source RAT cell whose measurement results exceed the threshold for the whole measurement duration, or a group of source RAT cells together provide such coverage. The cells that exceed the threshold in the first UE measurement report are included in the HO Report. If both thresholds are present, the received radio measurements must exceed both the RSRP and the RSRQ thresholds in order to satisfy the indicated radio conditions.
When the HO Report is sent from RNC at the end of the configured measurement duration, it shall set the HO Report Type IE to "Unnecessary HO to another RAT". If the measurement period expires due to an inter-RAT handover towards LTE executed within the configured measurement duration, the RNC shall set the HO Report Type IE in the HO Report to "Early IRAT Handover".
No HO Report shall be sent in case no E-UTRAN cell could be included, or if the indicated period of time is interrupted by an inter-RAT handover to a RAT different than LTE or by an intra-UMTS handover with SRNC relocation.
