Description
Unique identification of mobile (LTE) subscriber Network (MME) gets the
PLMN of the subscriber
Unique identification of PLMN
assigned by ITU
assigned by National Authority
assigned by operator
To identify a UE between the UE and the MME on behalf of IMSI for
security reason
GUTI is stored in TIN parameter of UEs MM context. TIN indicates
which temporary ID will be used in the next update.
To locally identify a UE in short within a MME group (Unique within a
MME Pool)
Unique within a MME
To identify a MME uniquely in global
GUTI contains GUMMEI
To identify a MME uniquely within a PLMN
Operator commissions at eNBMMEI
Unique within a PLMN
To identify a MME uniquely within a MME Group. S-TMSI contains
MMEC8
To identify an UE uniquely in a cell
To identify a ME (Mobile Equipment) uniquely
To identify a ME (Mobile Equipment) uniquely
To identify a Cell in global (Globally Unique)
EPC can know UE location based of ECGI
To identify a Cell within a PLMN
To identify a specific PDN GW (P-GW)
HSS assigns P-GW for PDN (IP network) connection of each UE
With APN as query parameter to the DNS procedures, the MME will
receive a list of candidate P-GWs, and then a P-GW is selected by MME
with policy
To identify an EPS bearer (Default or Dedicated) per an UE4
To identify an E-RAB per an UE
To identify a DRB per an UE4
To identify the default bearer associated with a dedicated EPS bearer4
To identify the end point of a GTP tunnel when the tunnel is established
