   Which cell tower am I connected to?

   There are apps which report the exact cell tower that you're connected to   
   at any given moment but which of the identifiers that these apps provide   
   tells me the exact cell tower and sector antenna unique identifier?   
      
   The stress of this question is on the word "unique" since just knowing the   
   cell tower location in an Internet lookup database is not as useful as   
   knowing the exact identifier for the exact sector antenna connection.   
      
   This is an example of the sets of numbers which these apps report.

   There is a mobile tower TAC, PCI, ECI & EARFCN reported by these apps.   
      
   What is the minimum combination of those identifiers that is exactly the   
   unique sector antenna the phone is currently connected to?
