name: NI
full_form: Network Identifier (part of the APN)
context: These fields contain the actual connected Access Point Name Network/Operator Identifier determined either by MS, SGSN or modified by CAMEL service. An APN can also be a wildcard, in which case the SGSN selects the access point address. Following TS 23.003 [7], the APN field is specified in the CDR by two variable strings. The first is the APN Network Identifier (NI portion) and the second is the APN Operator Identifier (OI portion). The APN NI may contain one or more label as described in TS 23.003 [7]. The APN OI is composed of three labels. The first and second labels together shall uniquely identify the PLMN operator (e.g. "mnc<operator mnc>.mcc<operator mcc>.gprs"). To represent the APN NI and OI in the GPRS CDRs, the "dot" notation shall be used. See 3GPP TS 23.003 [7] and 3GPP TS 23.060 [2] for more information about APN format and access point decision rules.
description: The Network Identifier (NI) is a part of the Access Point Name (APN) that contains the actual connected network/operator identifier. It can be determined by the Mobile Station (MS), Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), or modified by Customized Applications for Mobile networks Enhanced Logic (CAMEL) service.
explanation: The NI is classified as a Parameter because it is a crucial attribute of the APN used to identify the network/operator. It plays a role in charging data records (CDRs) and access point decision rules, making it a key parameter within the mobile network context.
