IEI is a Information Element Identifier, which is a part of TLV-coded
(Type-Length-Value) Information Elements (IEs). In other words, IEI
represents type (T) of the data payload which follows it. TLV is an
encoding used in most of the classical GSM protocols. I don't recall
where it is described in the Standard, but here is a nice paper which
you easily find on Google which describes ciphering and described TLV
structure as well (section 6.1.2):
