Table 11.2.2a.2: PACKET CELL CHANGE CONTINUE information element details

PAGE_MODE (2 bit field)
This field is defined in sub-clause 12.20.

Global TFI
This information element contains the TFI of the mobile station’s downlink TBF or uplink TBF. This field is defined in sub-clause 12.10.

The ARFCN, BSIC and the CONTAINER_ID parameters shall be included if the network has earlier sent neighbour cell system information for the cell within a set of PACKET NEIGHBOUR CELL DATA messages referred by the corresponding CONTAINER_ID value but without ARFCN and BSIC provided. Otherwise these parameters are optional.

ARFCN (10 bit field)
This field contains the BCCH frequency of the new cell candidate for re-selection. This field is encoded as the ARFCN defined in 3GPP TS 44.018.
Range 0 to 1023

BSIC (6 bit field)
This field contains the BSIC of the new cell candidate for re-selection. This field is encoded as the BSIC value defined in 3GPP TS 44.018.
Range 0 to 63

CONTAINER_ID (2 bit field)
This field contains the identity of the neighbour cell system information container previously sent in the PACKET NEIGHBOUR CELL DATA message for the cell addressed by the ARFCN and the BSIC above.
Range 0 to 3
