de 10 MHz. The second one is the frequency band indicator. Typically, the frequency band is
fixed by the mobile network operator. If you are using band 1, that means your phone is
using 2100 MHz frequency.
The last one is the ID of a base station. Every base station has an address. In order to assign
a different address to each base station, we are using two parameters, PLMN (That means
Public Land Mobile Network) and the Physical Cell ID. PLMN presents the operator and
the physical cell ID is the local base station ID. Let's go to the figure. Please see the
Android case. In the first yellow box, the PLMN is 45005. This number is assigned to SKT
in Korea. And the second box physical cell ID is 16378354. With these two information,
we can recognize to which base station I'm now connected to. If I move one mile from here
but still stay in Korea, then physical cell ID would be changed but the PLMN would not,
because I'm still in Korea even though the base station is changed.
