name: RAC
full_form: Routeing Area Code
context: The Routing Area Identification shall be composed as shown in figure 4: Figure 4: Structure of Routing Area Identification The RAI is composed of the following elements: - A valid Location Area Identity (LAI) as defined in clause 4.1. Invalid LAI values are used in some special cases when no valid RAI exists in the mobile station (see 3GPP TS 24.008[ Mobile radio interface Layer 3 specification; Core network protocols; Stage 3 ]  [5], 3GPP TS 31.102[ Characteristics of the Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) application ]  [27] and 3GPP TS 51.011[ Specification of the Subscriber Identity Module - Mobile Equipment (SIM-ME) interface ]  [9]). - Routeing Area Code (RAC) which is a fixed length code (of 1 octet) identifying a routeing area within a location area.
description: The Routeing Area Code (RAC) is a unique, fixed-length code consisting of 1 octet that identifies a specific routing area within a larger location area. It is an essential component of the Routing Area Identification (RAI), which also includes a valid Location Area Identity (LAI). The RAC plays a critical role in routing and managing mobile communications within the network.
explanation: RAC is classified as an Identifier because it serves as a distinct code for identifying routing areas, facilitating efficient routing of communication signals. Its inclusion in the Routing Area Identification underscores its importance in telecommunications networking.
