5G Network and UE Identifier Overview

This document summarizes 5G network identifiers for user equipment (UE) and the network. For UE identifiers, it describes the C-RNTI, Temporary C-RNTI, Multi C-RNTI, and Xx-RNTI. For network identifiers, it lists the AMF Identifier, NR Cell Global Identifier, gNB Identifier, Global gNB ID, Tracking Area identity, and Single Network Slice Selection Assistance information.

5G NG Identities (UE and Network Identifiers)

UE Identifiers

 C-RNTI:This is an unique identification, which is used as an identifier of the


RRC Connection and for scheduling purposes
 Temporary C-RNTI: This identification used for the random access
procedure, Random value for contention resolution: during some transient
states, the UE is temporarily identified with a random value used for
contention resolution purposes
 Multi C-RNTI:  In Dual Connectivity case, two C-RNTIs are independently
allocated to the UE: one for MCG(Master Cell Group), and one for SCG
(Slave Cell Group)
 Xx-RNTI: This unique identification used to identify the UE context for
RRC_INACTIVE

Network Identifier

The following identities are used in NG-RAN for identifying a specific network entity

 AMF Identifier (AMF ID): It is used to identify an AMF (Access and Mobility
Management Function)
 NR Cell Global Identifier (NCGI): It is used to identify NR cells globally. The
NCGI is constructed from the PLMN identity the cell belongs to and the NR
Cell Identity (NCI) of the cell. It can be assumed equivalent to CGI in LTE
system
 gNB Identifier (gNB ID): It is used to identify gNBs within a PLMN. The gNB
ID is contained within the NCI of its cells.
 Global gNB ID: used to identify gNBs globally. The Global gNB ID is
constructed from the PLMN identity the gNB belongs to and the gNB ID. The
MCC and MNC are the same as included in the NCGI.
 Tracking Area identity (TAI): It is used to identify tracking areas. The TAI is
constructed from the PLMN identity the tracking area belongs to and the TAC
(Tracking Area Code) of the Tracking Area.
 Single Network Slice Selection Assistance information (S-NSSAI): It
identifies a network slice.
