9.11.2.6 Intra N1 mode NAS transparent container

Taught in 4. Inside TS 24.501, the document at the centre (CT1 — the group that writes what your phone says, overview).

The purpose of the Intra N1 mode NAS transparent container information element is to provide the UE with parameters that enable the UE to handle the 5G NAS security context after N1 mode to N1 mode handover.

The Intra N1 mode NAS transparent container information element is coded as shown in figure 9.11.2.6.1 and table 9.11.2.6.1.

The Intra N1 mode NAS transparent container is a type 4 information element with a length of 9 octets.

The value part of the Intra N1 mode NAS transparent container information element is included in specific information elements within some RRC messages sent to the UE.

NOTE: For these cases the coding of the information element identifier and length information of RRC is defined in 3GPP TS 38.331 [30].
