Figure 7.7.112-2: eNodeB ID for Type Macro eNodeB

The Macro eNodeB ID consists of 20 bits. Bit 4 of Octet 8 is the most significant bit and bit 1 of Octet 10 is the least significant bit. The coding of the Macro eNodeB ID is the responsibility of each administration. Coding using full hexadecimal representation (binary, not ASCII encoding) shall be used.
