Subject: Unable to Locate the 5G Cell ID

Hi,

I am currently facing an issue with retrieving the 5G Cell ID to monitor network handover between multiple 5G cells. I am using the Quectel 5G RM520N series modem. Here’s what I have observed so far using AT commands:

  1. I was able to retrieve the serving cell information using the command: AT+QENG="servingcell"

  2. I successfully obtained the LTE Cell ID with the command: AT+QNWCFG="lte_cell_id". The LTE Cell ID is highlighted in yellow in the attached image (99B815).

  3. However, when attempting to retrieve the 5G Cell ID with the following command:AT+QNWCFG="nr5g_cell_id"

The output (also highlighted in yellow in the attached image) does not seem to provide the correct 5G Cell ID, and I highly doubt it is accurate.

Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

Thanks,

Your 5G cell is NSA. The manual states that the nr5g_cell_id argument is for use on SA cells.

Dear @Maaz_Qureshi

snowgum is correct, AT+QNWCFG=“nr5g_cell_id” is used for 5G SA, your network is NSA.

Hi @snowgum and @silvia, thanks for your reply appreciate the response.
Is there a way to check cell id with NSA band?

As far as I’m aware, the passing of the cell ID info to the user device is done by the serving cell only, as part of the extensive data exchange which happens with that cell.

In an NSA connection, the serving cells is a 4G/LTE cell.

Dear @Maaz_Qureshi
Currently, we don’t have this.
