The Identities defined in
TS 23.205 for BICC based CS Core network and in
TS 23.231 for SIP-I with the following additions.
The Global Call Reference (GCR) IE is derived from the ITU-T Global Call Reference parameter (defined by ITU-T Q.1902.3 [5]).
The Global Call Reference (GCR) information element is a combination of a Network ID field, a Node ID field and a Call Reference ID field. The Call Reference ID field for LCLS is defined to contain a unique call ID.
If the serving radio access is GERAN the Call Reference ID subfield created by originating MSC server contains a unique call ID and the originating BSS ID which is a unique identifier of a Base Station Subsystem (BSS) Node within an operator's network.
The complete parameter layout is specified in
TS 29.205.
The GCR is exchanged on the Nc and A interfaces to globally identify the call.
