Editing My 3GPP 38.300 Notes (section)

=== 8.2	Network Identities ===

The following identities are used in NG-RAN for identifying a specific network entity:
* <span style="color:red">AMF Name</span>: used to identify an AMF.
* <span style="color:red">NR Cell Global Identifier (NCGI)</span>: used to identify NR cells globally. The NCGI is constructed from the PLMN identity the cell belongs to and the NR Cell Identity (NCI) of the cell. The PLMN ID included in the NCGI should be the first PLMN ID within the set of PLMN IDs associated to the NR Cell Identity in SIB1, following the order of broadcast.

:NOTE 1: How to manage the scenario where a different PLMN ID has been allocated by the operator for an NCGI is left to OAM and/or implementation.

* <span style="color:red">gNB Identifier (gNB ID)</span>: used to identify gNBs within a PLMN. The gNB ID is contained within the NCI of its cells.
* Global gNB ID: used to identify gNBs globally. The Global gNB ID is constructed from the PLMN identity the gNB belongs to and the gNB ID. The MCC and MNC are the same as included in the NCGI.

:NOTE 2: It is not precluded that a cell served by a gNB does not broadcast the PLMN ID included in the Global gNB ID.

* Tracking Area identity (TAI): used to identify tracking areas. The TAI is constructed from the PLMN identity the tracking area belongs to and the TAC (Tracking Area Code) of the Tracking Area.
* Single Network Slice Selection Assistance information (S-NSSAI): identifies a network slice.
* Network Slice AS Group (NSAG): identifies a slice or a set of slices. An NSAG is defined within a TA, used for slice specific cell reselection and/or slice specific RACH configuration.
* Network Identifier (NID): identifies an SNPN in combination with a PLMN ID.
* Closed Access Group Identifier: identifies a CAG within a PLMN.
* Local NG-RAN Node Identifier: used as reference to the NG-RAN node in the I-RNTI.
