Question: In GERAN Iu mode, when initiating a Direct Information Transfer procedure from a BSC, how is the final RAN destination node indicated for routing by the Core Network (CN)?
Option 1: Via the SGSN's IP Address in the RIM Transfer IE
Option 2: Using the RIM Routing Address IE within the RIM Transfer IE, which may include a GSM cell identity or Target RNC-ID with RAC
Option 3: Through the MSC's Global Title in the Direct Transfer message
Option 4: By the BSC's own identifier in the procedure initiation message
Explanation: In GERAN Iu mode, for a Direct Information Transfer procedure initiated by a BSC, the Core Network (CN) needs to know where to route the RIM information. This is achieved by including the RIM Routing Address IE within the RIM Transfer IE, allowing specification of either a target GSM cell or a Target RNC-ID with RAC for accurate delivery of RIM information within the UTRAN's Radio Access Network (RAN).
