Figure F1.2.1: 3G Cell Identity information element

3GPP TS 25.401 indicates that the 28 bit 3G Cell Identity consist of a RNC-Id. (12 bit) and a C-Id (16 bit).
Bit 8 in octet n is the most significant bit and bit 5 in octet n+1 is the least significant bit of the RNC-Id.
Bit 4 in octet n +1is the most significant bit and bit 5 in octet n+3 is the least significant bit of the C-Id.
