7.7.73 Cell Identification
29.0603GPPGeneral Packet Radio Service (GPRS)GPRS Tunnelling Protocol (GTP) across the Gn and Gp interfaceRelease 17TS
The Cell Identification information element contains
– for PS handover from A/Gb mode, the identification of a target cell (Target Cell ID) and the identification of the source cell (Source Cell ID) as defined in 3GPP TS 48.018 [20].
– for PS handover from Iu mode, the identification of a target cell (Target Cell ID) and the identification of the source RNC (Source RNC-ID) as defined in 3GPP TS 48.018 [20].
– for PS handover from S1 mode, the identification of a target cell (Target Cell ID) as defined in 3GPP TS 48.018 [20]. Octet 12 shall be set to "Source Cell ID" and octets 13-20 shall be encoded as all zero.
