RRC Connection Establishment
TS 25.931
TS 23.107
TS 34.108
RRC connection establishment is
always initiated by the UE
The UE initiates the procedure
when the non-access stratum in
the UE requests the establishment
of a signalling connection and the
UE is in idle mode (no RRC
connection exists)

Once the UE has established the RRC connection, it may then send a higher
layer message (e.g. a call setup message).

RRC Connection Establishment
The UE transmits
RRC CONNECTION REQUEST
message (first one)
Reset Counter V300, Start timer T300
set the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message IE "Establishment Cause", set the IE
"Initial UE identity" to the variable INITIAL_UE_IDENTITY, set the "protocol error
indicator" to the value of the variable PROTOCOL_ERROR_INDICATOR, include
a measurement report in the IE "measured results on RACH", as specified in the IE
"intra-frequency reporting quantity fro RACH reporting" and IE "maximum number
of reported cells on RACH" in system information block type 11.
If cell reselction or expiry of T300 occurs:
no
RRC CONNECTION SETUP
message from RNC
check the value of V300 (which is updated
every time a new RRC CONNECTION REQUEST
MESSAGE is sent for that particular
connection request)
V300 =< N300
Reception of an RRC

by the UE
yes
yes
Enetr in idle mode =>
the end of procedure
no
Increment counter V300
and restart timer T300
Transmit a new RRC
CONNECTION REQUEST
MESSAGE
UE compares the value of the IE "initial UE identity" in the received RRC CONNECTION
SETUP message with the value of the variable INITIAL_UE_IDENTITY.
In case the values are different, the UE ingnores the rest of the message
If the values are identical, the UE stops the timer T300, and act based on the received
information and submit RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message and enter to
CELL_DCH state.

Dedicated Mode Paging
MM connected CN1 (PS), MM idle CN2 (CS), RRC; CELL_DCH/CELL_FACH
If the UE is in state CELL_DCH or CELL_FACH having on going data trasmission with
CN1, after RNC receives paging from CN2 (CS speech call for example), the RNC shall
build a connected mode RRC: PAGING TYPE 2 message for transmission on the DCH or
FACH respectively (also active connection to CN2 -active speech call - , incoming PS
call -> RRC: Paging Type 2)
It then transmits the message on the DCCH mapped to the DCH or FACH using AM RLC.
