name: IE
full_form: Information Element
context: Description: The New IE Flags IE is only present if at least one new IE is present. The New IE Flags IE contains flags indicating which new IEs that are present following the New IE Flags IE. The last bit position of the New IE Flags IE is used as the Extension Flag to allow the extension of the New IE Flags IE in the future. Extension octets of the New IE Flags IE shall follow directly after the first octet of the New IE Flags IE. When an extension octet of the New IE Flags IE is present, then all previous extension octets of the New IE Flags IE and the New IE Flags IE shall also be present, even if they have all their flag bits indicating no presence of their respective new IEs.
description: An Information Element (IE) is a fundamental unit of information exchange in telecommunications networks. It encapsulates specific data attributes and their associated values, enabling efficient and structured communication between network elements. In this context, IEs are defined by flags and extension octets that signal the presence of additional or modified IEs.
explanation: The text explicitly refers to 'Information Elements' (IEs) and describes them as being defined by 'flags and extension octets'. This directly aligns with the definition of an IE as a structured unit of information carrying specific data attributes within telecommunications networks.
