Characterization of temporary identifiers in a wireless communication network

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory to store instructions;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the instructions to perform operations, comprising:
• receiving an indication of a temporary identifier type as part of a telecommunication process;
• and
• determining a logical address of a device based on the indication of the temporary identifier type,
• wherein the indication of the temporary identifier type is encoded in a multi-bit field of a temporary identifier information element related to a temporary identifier associated with the temporary identifier type, and
• wherein the indication of the temporary identifier type indicates a radio technology utilized by the device to implement at least part of the telecommunication process.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving an indication of a temporary identifier type as part of a telecommunication process;
• and
• determining a logical address of a device based on identifying a tag and a value associated with the tag of the indication of the temporary identifier that facilitates identifying the temporary identifier type,
• wherein the indication of the temporary identifier type indicates a radio technology utilized by the device to implement at least part of the telecommunication process.
