RRC layer
scope
Radio ressource control layer is :
Radio Interface between UE or RN and EUTRAN.
Transport radio information between a
source and target enode B or between
different RATs when Handover occurs
(inter eNb handover and inter RAT
handover).
RRC layer
Architecture (states)
The main function of RRC layer is :
2 STATES
RRC
IDLE
RRC
CONNECT
RRC layer
Architecture (states)
RRC_IDLE
A UE specific DRX may be configured by upper layers.
UE controlled mobility
The UE:
Monitors a Paging channel to detect incoming calls,
system information change, for ETWS capable UEs, ETWS
notification, and for CMAS capable UEs, CMAS
notification;
Performs neighbouring cell measurements and cell (re-)
selection;
Acquires system information.
Performs logging of available measurements together with
location and time for logged measurement configured UEs.
RRC layer
Architecture (states)
RRC CONNECTED
Transfer of unicast data to/from UE.
At lower layers, the UE may be configured with a UE specific DRX.
For UEs supporting CA, use of one or more SCells, aggregated
with the PCell, for increased bandwidth;
Network controlled mobility, i.e. handover and cell change
order with optional network assistance (NACC) to GERAN;
The UE:
Monitors a Paging channel and/ or System Information Block Type 1
contents to detect system information change, for ETWS capable UEs,
ETWS notification, and for CMAS capable UEs, CMAS notification;
Monitors control channels associated with the shared data
channel to determine if data is scheduled for it;
Provides channel quality and feedback information;
Performs neighbouring cell measurements and measurement
reporting;
Acquires system information.
