Introduction

System Broadcast

System broadcast fuction periodically transmitting the system information to cells in a broadcast mode and accordingly update the system information. The system information is broadcast on BCH, including the following contents:

Network information such as PLMN ID, LA and RA

Timers and counters related with RRC connection

UTRAN Registration Area (URA) configuration information

Cell selection and cell re-selection parameters

Common channel configuration parameters such as FACH, PCH and RACH

UL interference information of auxiliary power control

UE measurement control message in the Idle or common channel status

Neighbor cell configuration parameters

AGPS location information

The contents of system information are involved in various System Information Blocks (SIB). Except that the SIB7 (including UL interference information) can be auto-measured, encoded and transmitted by the Node B, all SIBs are controlled and encoded by RNC.

RRC Connection Establishment and Release

This function manages establishment and release of Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection between UTRAN and UE. It establishes the signaling bearer from UE to UTRAN access point and provides the signaling transmission channel for the UE and UTRAN. When the UE needs to establish connection with the network such as LA or RA update, service request and paging response, the UE originates the RRC connection setup request on RACH according to the parameter information of system broadcast the UTRAN assigns related resources to the UE to establish Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB). After the process of RRC connection setup is completed, the UE generally establishes lu connection with the CN to fulfill LA and RA update and service process, and meanwhile SRB provides the signaling transmission channel between UE and CE. The UTRAN monitors lu connection state and radio connection state of the UE. If all lu connections are released or radio connection with the UE is interrupted, the UTRAN accomplishes RRC connection release to release all resources assigned for the UE.

Paging

When the CN has service requirements, the system uses the paging function to trigger connection setup between UE and CN. For example, when the UE needs to receive the SMS or MMS information or other users call in this UE, the CN transmits the paging message to the RNC over the lu interface. And the RNC selects different areas to transmit the paging message to the UE based on the RRC connection state of UE.

UE in the IDLE status: The RNC does not detect the detailed location information of UE and thus transmits the paging information to the whole LA or RA according to the LA or RA information carried in the CN paging message.

UE in the PCH status: The RNC detects the URA location information of UE and transmits the paging message to the whole URA.

UE in the FACH or DCH status: The RNC detects the cell location information of UE and transmits the paging message to the whole cell.

The following paging scenarios originated by RNC are supportable:

When the packets exist in the DL buffer area, the RNC transmits the paging message to trigger the UE from the URA_PCH status to the CELL_FACH status to establish service bearer for DL data transmission.

Chapter 1 0BOverview

When the system information changes, the RNC transmits the paging message to inform all UEs in the Idle or PCH status within the cell of system information changed.

When it is required to interrupt the RRC connection of UE in the PCH status, the RNC transmits the paging message to release the RRC of UE.

Two paging modes such as PAGING TYPE 1 and PAGING TYPE 2 are supportable:

For the UE in the IDLE or URA_PCH status, the RNC transmits PAGING TYPE1.

For the UE in the CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH status, the RNC transmits PAGING TYPE2.

NAS Message Retransmission

The UTRAN is an essential network of signaling transmission on the Non-Access Stratum (NAS) layer between UE and CN. The NAS signaling is used in the control process such as UE location update, authentication, call setup and release, and also used in transfer of SMS data. The NAS signaling and SMS data transmitted between UE and CN are not resolved and processed by UTRAN. The UTRAN assumes the NAS signaling and SMS data as the CE content of the direct-transfer message defined in the RANAP and RRC protocols and transparently transmits them between CN and UE. Three types of direct-transfer message are available.

Initial direct transfer: Once the UTRAN receives the initial-direct transfer message from the UE, the RNC establishes connection with the Iu interface of MSC or SGSN (SCCP) according to the tag of CN domain (PS or CS) in the message, and attaches the NAS message to the initial UE message to transmit to the corresponding MSC or SGSN. Meanwhile, the RNC records the binding relation between SCCP connection and UE RRC connection to establish a channel for the subsequent NAS message between UE and CN.

UL direct transfer: When receiving the uplink direct-transfer message from the UE, the UTRAN attaches the NAS message to the direct transfer message according to the tag of CN domain in the message and then transmits to the corresponding MSC or SGSN.

DL direct transfer: When receiving the direct transfer message from the CN, the UTRAN attaches the NAS message to the downlink direct-transfer message according to the corresponding relation of SCCP and RRC connection, and then transmits to the related UE.



When receiving the lu connection release message from the CN, the RNC releases the lu connection of CN and cancels the binding relation of SCCP and RRC connection.

Encryption

This function performs encryption of users’ service data and signaling data being transmitted over the Un interface, to guarantee confidentiality of user communication between RNC and UE. ZTE RAN supports the encryption algorithm UEA0 and UEA1: UEA0 indicates that the Uu-interface data is not encrypted; UEA1 is based on the KASUMI algorithm, f8 Is performing encryption and decryption. The CN starts encryption protection and configures the type of ecryption is going to be used. The CN notifies the RNC to enable the encryption by the RANAP security mode command which carries the key of the encryption algorithm. According to its encryption ability, the UE encryption algorithm ability and the priority of selectable encryption algorithms configured by the CN, the RNC selects a proper encryption algorithm, and enables the encryption by the RRC security mode command. After enabling the encryption, when the RNC or UE is sending the data, with the help of the encryption key and the variables with the transmitted-data change, the encryption function executes the f8 algorithm to encrypt the transmitted data. The receiver uses the same algorithm to decrypt the data. The process of encryption and decryption is executed on the RLC layer (AM or UM mode) or MAC layer (TM mode).

Integrity Protection

To protect the signaling from the third-party’s hostile attack, the function provides the checking mechanism for the Un interface signaling over the air interface. ZTE RAN supports a unique integrity protection algorithm UIA1 defined in 3GPP – based on the KASUMI algorithm and the integrity protection performed by f9. The CN configures whether to enable the integrity protection function. The CN informs the RNC to enable the integrity protection through the command process of RANAP security mode, the message carrying the secret key of the integrity protection algorithm. The RNC enables the integrity protection through the command process of RRC security mode. If the integrity protection is enabled, during transmitting the RRC message, the RNC or UE first uses the f9 algorithm to calculate the identification code MAC-I for the integrity protection according to the secret key and transmitted message. Then the RNC or UE attaches the MAC-I to the message to be transmitted and transmits it. The receiving end must use the same algorithm and secret key with the transmitting end to calculate the identification code XMAC-I of the received message and



compares the calculated value with the received MAC-I. If the two values are identical, the receiving message is considered to be correct; or else, the receiving message is discarded. Not all Un interface signaling is protected. ZTE RAN executes the RRC message of integrity protection abiding by the 3GPP TS25.331 protocol.

Radio Connection Monitoring

This function monitors the radio connection states of UEs having established RRC. For example, due to poor radio quality or other causes, the RNC determines that radio connection between UE and network has interrupted, and immediately releases all resources assigned to the UE, including service-established RB resources and RRC connection. To monitor the radio connection state, the following mode supports:

The Node B monitors the RL state.

The RNC monitors the RLC connection state.

The RNC monitors the cell update message of UE.

The RNC monitors the UE keep-alive timer.

After releasing the radio resources, the RNC transmits the lu release request message to the CN over the lu interface and informs the CN to release the corresponding RAB resource.

Radio Connection Reestablishment

Because of sudden interference or abrupt change of radio environment, the UE on DCH suffers short interruption of radio connection and does not continue performing services without network signals. However, the UE recovers the network signals before the UTRAN detects interruption of the radio connection. For this scenario, the UE transmits the cell update message carrying the cause of Radio link failure or RLC unrecoverable error (only corresponding to the service RB) to attempt to reestablish connection with the network. The RNC supports the function of reestablishing the radio connection between UE and UTRAN and recovering communication under the situation of not releasing the previous RRC and lu connections. For user experience, the reestablishing process brings about short-time service interruption, but call drop never occurs.

High-speed Signaling Bearer

The function supports the usage of 13.6 kbps Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) in the process of call establishment. When service



establishment is completed, 3.4Kbps SRB is recovered to save radio resources. 13.6 kbps high-speed SRB can shorten the time of call establishment up to 1s in various scenarios. The InitRrcLBSw parameter enables and controls this function.

System Broadcast The RNC manages construction and broadcast of the system message. The system message, including NAS information, cell common-channel configuration information, cell selection and reselection parameter, initial access as well as measurement control and location information, provides the necessary UTRAN information for the processes of Location Area Update (LAU), Route Area Update (RAU) and RRC establishment originated by EU under the cell.

The system information consists of three types: Master Information Block (MIB), Schedule Block (SB) and System Information Block (SIB).

System Broadcast Schedule and Delivery

The MIB can save the schedule information of SB and SIB. The SB saves the schedule information of SIB, including the SB1 and SB2. The SIB saves the detailed content of the system information message. ZTE UTRAN system supports the SB1, SB2, SIB3, SIB5, SIB7, SIB11 and SIB18. This version does not support the SIB11 bis. When the cell has been established or added, the system broadcasts the system message. Update of the system information or timeout of the timer also triggers broadcast of the system message. See Figure 1.



F I G U R E 1 SY S T E M B R O AD C AS T

When cell establishment is completed or the system information is updated, the system first schedules system information broadcast to confirm the transmission period of various information blocks. According to importance of SIBs, the system divides SIBs into two priorities. To promote the broadcast frequency of important system information, the first-priority SIB is scheduled by MIB and the second-priority SIB scheduled by SB1. Less-content SIBs can be connected in tandem in the same TTI to transmit, while more-content SIBs can be partitioned into sections to transmit, such as the SIB5 and SIB11. Refer to the following detailed classification.

The MIB is used to schedule the SB1, SIB1, SIB2, SIB3, SIB5 and SIB7.

The MIB is used to schedule the SIB11 and SIB18.

Except MIB, all SIBs are divided into two levels according to importance. The level stands for the priority of filling the system information. See Table 1.

T AB L E 1 S C H E D U L I N G LE V E L O F S Y S T E M I N F O R M AT I O N B L O C K

Level 1 IB scheduled by MIB: SB1,SB2,SIB1,SIB2,SIB3,SIB5,SIB7

Level 2 IB scheduled by SB1: SIB11, SIB18

The SIB broadcast period relation of each level: Lev2 period >=Lev1 period

According to the scheduling principles, the RNC fills the system information and transmits it to the Node B by SYSTEM INFORMATION UPDATE REQUEST. When receiving the SYSTEM



INFORMATION UPDATE RESPONSE message, the RNC assumes that the system information is successfully updated. After receiving the system information, the Node B broadcasts all information blocks on BCH according to a given scheduling period. When the system information is updated, the system informs UEs respectively in the IDLE, PCH and FACH states through different modes, as follows:

Inform UEs respectively in the IDLE and PCH states by paging: The RNC transmits PAGING TYPE 1 to UEs; the CE BCCH modification info in the message indicates the system information updated.

Inform UEs in the FACH state by system information change indication: The system transmits SYSTEM INFORMATION CHANGE INDICATION to UEs; the CE BCCH modification info in the message indicates the system information updated.

Delivery Content Description of SIBs

SIB1

The SIB1 consists of CN information, timers and counters related to UEs. CEs configured by OMCR are as follows:

T300: Indicates the waiting duration after the UE transmits the RRC CONNECTION SETUP REQUEST message. The timer is enabled after the UE transmits RRC CONNECTION REQUEST (This example is excluded: If the cause of the RRC connection request is MBMS Reception, T318 is enabled, instead of T300; the T318 value is a fixed value 1000 ms configured in the RNC). If RRC CONNECTION SETUP is received, the timer stops. When the timer expires and the retransmission times are less than N300, RRC CONNECTION SETUP REQUEST is retransmitted.

N300: Indicates the maximum of retransmission times of the RRC CONNECTION SETUP REQUEST message. If T300 expires and the retransmission times are equal to or more than N300, RRC CONNECTION SETUP is still not received and then the UE enters the IDLE state.

While the UE is transmitting UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION, this timer is enabled, While the UE is receiving UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION confirmed, the timer is disabled. If the timer expires and the number of UE transmitting UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION is less than N304, the UE retransmits UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION.

N304: Indicates the maximum of retransmitting the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. When T304 expires and the number of retransmitting UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION is equal to or more than N304, the UE enables the CELL UPDATE process.

T305: Indicates the period duration of UE performing periodical cell update or URA update in the CELL_FACH, CELL-PCH or URA_PCH state. When the UE is entering the CELL_FACH, CELL-PCH or URA_PCH state, this timer is enabled. While the UE is receiving the CELL UPDATE confirmation or URA UPDATE CONFIRM message, the timer is disabled. If the timer expires and the UE is in the service area, the UE transmits the CELL UPDATE message. If the timer expires and the UE is out of the service area, the UE enables the T307 timer.

T307: Indicates the waiting timer of cell reselection after the UE disengages from the service area. When this timer expires, the UE returns to the IDLE state.

T308: Indicates the waiting time after the UE in the CELL_DCH state transmits the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE message. After the UE transmits RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE, this timer is enabled. If the timer expires and the number of UE transmitting RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE is less than N308, the UE retransmits the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE message.

N308: Indicates the maximum of UE retransmitting RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE. If T308 expires and the number of UE transmitting RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE is equal to or more than N308, the UE enters the IDLE state.



T309: Indicates the waiting time after the UE enabling the access request to other RATs (such as, GSM). When the UE receives the CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN message, this timer is enabled. When the UE successfully receives the ACK message of connection setup request in a new cell, the timer is disabled. If the timer expires, the UE reaccesses the primary UTRAN.

T312 Connected: A timer used in the connection mode; indicates the waiting time of receiving “In Async” from L1 during the UE in the connection mode establishing the dedicated physical channel. When the UE starts establishing the dedicated channel, this timer is enabled. When the UE detects that the number of L1 “In Async” is equal to that defined in N312, the timer is disabled. If the timer expires, the physical channel fails to establish.

N312Connected: A counter used in the connection mode; indicates the number of UE in the Connection mode continuously receiving “In Sync” from L1 before successful establishment of dedicated physical channel.

T313: Indicates the waiting time of the UE in the DCH state confirming asynchronization of the established DPCCH. When the UE in the DCH state continuously receives “In Async” N313 times from L1, this timer is enabled. When the UE in the DCH state continuously receives “In Sync” N315 times from L1, the timer is disabled. If the timer expires, all radio links related to “In Async” fail.

N313: Indicates the maximum of UE continuously receiving “In Async” from L1.

N315: Indicates the maximum of UE continuously receiving “In Sync” from L1 under the T313-activated status.

T314: Defines RL failure and indicates the time of the RB (related to T314) waiting for completion of cell update process. During establishing a RB, the system assumes the RB uses T314 or T315. When the radio link fails and the current RB uses T314, this timer is enabled. When the process of cell update is completed, the timer is disabled. If the timer expires, the UE first judges whether T302 is still running. If yes, the UE continues waiting the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM or URA UPDATE CONFIRM message; if no, the UE judges whether T315 is running. If T315 is still running, the UE only releases the RAB resources related to T314. If T315 stops running, the UE releases all RAB resources to enter the IDLE state.

T315: Defines RL failure and indicates the time of the RB (related to T315) waiting for completion of cell update process. During establishing a RB, the system assumes the RB uses T314 or T315. When the radio link fails and the current RB uses T315, this timer is enabled. When the process of cell update is completed, the timer is disabled. If T315 expires, the processing method is similar to that of



T314. The UE performs corresponding processing according to the running status of T302 and T314.

T316: Indicates the waiting time for cell selection/reselection after the UE in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state is out of the service area. When the UE in the PCH state is out of the service area, this timer is enabled. When the UE is in the service area, the timer is disabled. If the timer expires and the UE is in the service area, cell update is enabled. If the UE is out of the service area, the T317 is enabled; until the UE in the FACH state is in the service area, the cell update is enabled.

T317: Indicates the waiting time for cell selection/reselection after the UE in the CELL_FACH state is out of the service area. When T316 expires or when the UE in the FACH state is out of the service area, this timer is enabled. When the UE is in the service area, the timer is disabled.

SIB7

The SIB7 serves as an update timer. The timer refers to the following formula:


Expiration timer = MAX (32, SIB_REP * ExpirationTimeFactor)

In the formula above, SIB_REP indicates the transmission period of SIB7, dynamically obtained during system broadcast schedule; ExpirationTimeFactor is a factor of SIB7 timeout and the system fixedly configures it to 2.

The SIB7 can be transmitted by RNC or Node B, determined by configuration of the OMCR parameter SIB7Originator. To shorten the transmission time of SIB7, the system configures the Node B to transmit the SIB7 by default.

The SIB7 fills the parameters as required during UE calculating the initial power of PRACH preamble. The following CEs can be configured by OMCR. See Table 5.

The SIB11 and SIB12 configure the measurement control information of cell. The SIB11 configures the measurement control information needed by the UE in the IDLE state, while the SIB12 configures the measurement control information needed by the UE in the connection status on FACH. The parameter Sib11orSib12 can be configured on the OMCR. Currently, the SIB12 does not broadcast. Thus, the UE in the connection state also uses the configuration information of SIB11 and the parameter value configured on the OMCR is 0 (broadcast over the SIB11). For related parameters, refer to ZTE UMTS Idle Mode and Common channel behavior.

SIB15

Figure 2 illustrates the flow of RRC connection establishment.



F I G U R E 2 RRC CO N N E C TI ON ES TAB L I S HM E N T FLOW

RRC Connection Establishment on DCH

When receiving the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message from the UE, the RNC determines which channel used to establish the RRC connection according to configuration of the OMCR parameter “InitRrcOnDch”.

If the “InitRrcOnDch” value is set to 0 (DCH-forced and using common signaling) or 1 (DCH-forced and using high-speed



signaling), the RNC establishes the RRC connection on DCH. If the “InitRrcOnDch” value is set to 3 (not forced, using common signaling for DCH) or 4 (not forced, using high-speed signaling for DCH), the RNC decides according to Establishment_cause of RRC connection reported in RRC CONNECTION REQUEST. If Establishment_cause is of establishing a service, for example, UE originates call as a caller, then the RNC first selects DCH to establish the RRC connection.

The cells required to establish radio links is calculated by the inter-frequency load balance algorithm.

The RNC establishes the radio link on the lub interface.

After successfully establishing the radio link, the RNC transmits the RRC CONNECTION SETUP message to the UE. If the OMCR parameter “InitRrcOnDch” is configured to the high-speed signaling, the RNC fills 13.6 K high-speed SRB in Dynamic Transport Format Information of RRC CONNECTION SETUP; or else, the RNC fills 3.4 K common SRB. Suppose the 13.6 K high-speed SRB is established, delete RNC reconfigures to 3.4 K SRB at the starting of RAB assignment. After receiving the RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message from the UE, the RNC successfully sets up the RRC connection. The establishment process ends.

RRC Connection Establishment on CCH

When receiving the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message from the UE, the RNC determines which channel to be used to establish the RRC connection according to configuration of the OMCR parameter “InitRrcOnDch”.

If the “InitRrcOnDch” value is set to 2 (FACH-forced), the RNC establishes the RRC connection on FACH. If the “InitRrcOnDch” value is set to 3 (not forced, using common signaling on DCH) or 4 (not forced, using high-speed signaling on DCH), the RNC decides according to Establishment_cause of RRC connection reported in RRC CONNECTION REQUEST. If the RNC immediately originates services after RRC connection establishment (for example, the Establishment_cause value is Originating Conversational Call), the RNC establishes the RRC connection on DCH. If the RNC only accomplishes the flow such as LA update after RRC connection establishment but does not establish services (for example, the Establishment_cause value is registration), the RNC selects the common channel bearer signaling. According to Initial UE Identify of UE, the RNC select SCCPCH: Index of selected SCCPCH" = “Initial UE Identity” mod K; among them, K indicates the SCCPCH number bearing FACH in the cell. On the selected SCCPCH, the RNC transmits the RRC CONNECTION SETUP message to the UE and delivers SRB configuration.



After receiving the RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message from the UE, the RNC successfully establishes the RRC connection. The establishment process ends.

Abnormal Process Handling of RRC Connection Establishment

Abnormal Process Handling of RRC Connection Establishment on DCH

If radio link establishment fails, the RNC transmits the RRC CONNECTION REJECT message to the UE, involving the Wait time in this message to inform UE of the waiting time from receiving RRC CONNECTION REJECT to permitting to retransmit the access request. The waiting time can be configured by OMCR (Twait). If the RNC does not receive the RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message from the UE within 5s (for the air interface message to be acknowledged, the RNC sets a 5s timer to wait for response), it deletes the radio link on the lub interface. The RRC connection fails to establish and the UE is still in the IDLE status.

Abnormal Process Handling of RRC Connection Establishment on CCH

When the RNC does not receive the RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message from the UE within 5s, it indicates that RRC connection establishment fails and the UE is still in the IDEL status.

RRC Connection Release

The causes of triggering RRC connection release include the following:

The service and NAS signaling connections are normally released.

The Node B detects that radio link establishment is failed.

The RNC detects that RLC connection is failed.

The UE on DCH or FACH requests cell update, for the AM_RLC error indication (RB2, RB3 or RB4) value is TRUE. Or the UE on FACH transmits the CELL UPDATE message to the RNC, because of radio link failure or RLC unrecoverable error.



The UE on FACH or PCH does not communicate any message and data with the RNC within the specified time (T305+11 min.).

The preceding situations trigger the release flow of RRC connection. Figure 3 illustrates the release flow of RRC connection.

F I G U R E 3 RRC C O N N E C T I O N R E L E AS E FL O W

In Figure 3,using the SRB1, the RNC transmits the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message to the UE. To make the UE rapidly searching cell stations after entering the IDLE status, the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message contains the GSM network and UMTS FDD network frequency-point information under the same PLMN control with the current cell, as well as the potential BCCH frequency range of surrounding the GSM cell and the potential transmission frequency range of surrounding UMTS cell. The involved frequency point information of the GSM network and FDD network includes: GSM band number (GsmBARangeNum), GSM frequency point upper limit (GsmURange[32]), GSM frequency point lower limit (GsmLRange[32]), FDD band number (FDDFreqRngNum), FDD UMTS frequency point lower limit (Luarfcn [8]) and FDD UMTS frequency point upper limit (Uuarfcn[8]).

RRC Connection Release on DCH

When the UE on DCH receives the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message from the RNC, it transmits the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE message over the UM mode and meanwhile starts up the timer T308. When T308 expires, the UE retransmits RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE, the retransmitting times determined by N308. T308 and N308 are all



configured by OMCR. When the UE on FACH receives the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message from the RNC, it transmits the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE message once. Receiving RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE, the RNC releases the radio link on the lub interface.

RRC Connection Release on CCH

The RNC transmits the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message to the UE on CCCH or on SRB2. When the UE on FACH receives the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE request from the RNC, it only transmits the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE message once on CCCH. Receiving RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE, the RNC releases the local resources and RRC connection release is successful.

Abnormal Process Handling of RRC Connection Release

When the RNC transmits the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message to the UE but does not receive the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE message from the UE, the RNC retransmits RRC CONNECTION RELEASE. The retransmitting times are determined by the maximum retransmitting number (NreTran ) of RRC CONNECTION RELEASE configured in the OMCR. When the RNC does still not receive RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE within 5 s after retransmitting RRC CONNECTION RELEASE for NreTran, it assumes completion of RRC connection release and then releases the local resources.

�Paging

Paging Flow

According to different paging originators, paging is classified into the following as shown in Figure 4.



F I G U R E 4 PAG I N G FL O W

After receiving the paging from the CN, the SRNC delivers the Node B broadcast.

The RNC transmits the PAGING TYPE1 to the UEs in the IDLE or PCH state and transmits the PAGING TYPE2 to the UEs in the CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH state.

Paging originated by the SRNC not over the lur interface or by the DRNC

The RNC transmits the PAGING TYPE1 to the UEs in the IDLE or PCH state and transmits the PAGING TYPE2 to the UEs in the CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH state.

Paging originated by the SRNC, over the lur interface

To request the DRNC to originate paging to the UE, the RNC transmits the Paging Request message to the DRNC over the RNSAP.

PAGING TYPE 1

The RNC receives the paging from the CN and transmits the PAGING TYPE 1 to the UE in the IDLE or URA_PCH state on PCH. To promote the possibility of UE receiving the paging, the RNC repeatedly transmits PAGING TYPE 1 to the UE and the retransmitting times are configured by OMCR (PagingSendTime). The PCH has the corresponding PICH physical channel which



transmits the Page Indicator (PI). Each PI corresponds to a group of UEs. The PI algorithm is as follows:

PI = DRX Index mod Np

Among:

DRX Index = IMSI div 8192

Np: The number of PI included by one PICH radio frame can be configured by OMCR.

By monitoring the UE’s own PI, the UE decides whether the network is paging itself. Each PICH frame can include the PIs of multi-UEs and the OMCR can configure all PIs (Np) included in each PICH. When each PICH frame includes more PIs, the transmission power (PichPwr) of PICH is being enhanced. The corresponding relation is as follows.

PI No, per Frame

Bit Repeat No. Transmission Power of PICH Related to CPICH

18 16 -7

36 8 -7

72 4 -5

144 2 -2

To save power, the UE in the IDLE and PCH states use the Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mode to monitor the PICH. By this method, the UE only needs to monitor the PI once within per DRX period. Each UE has its own Paging Occasion (PO). Therefore, the UE only monitors one PICH frame on the SFN corresponding to the PO and finds the PI of the frame’s own by the calculated PI. The RNC fills the PI information on the PICH according to the PO of the UE. For the FDD system, the DRX period is equal to 2k frame. In the OMCR, the RNC configures three types of DRX cycle length coefficients: CS-domain DRX cycle length coefficient (Kcs), PS-domain DRX cycle length coefficient (Kps) and UTRAN DRX cycle length coefficient (KUtran).

Refer to the following calculation:

When the UE is in the IDLE state, by using CS-domain DRX cycle length coefficient (Kcs), PS-domain DRX cycle length coefficient (Kps) and DRX parameter (DRX cycle length coefficient) delivered by CN in the paging message, the RNC decides the K value within the DRX period.

For the paging from the CS domain, K = Min (Kcs, Kps)

For the paging from the PS domain, if the CN delivers the DRX Cycle Length Coefficient, then K is equal to Min (Kcs,Kps,DRX Cycle Length Coefficient); if the CN does not deliver the DRX Cycle Length Coefficient, then K is equal to Min (Kcs,Kps).

When the UE is in the PCH state, the RNC decides the K value by using CS-domain DRX cycle length coefficient



(Kcs), PS-domain DRX cycle length coefficient (Kps) and UTRAN DRX cycle length coefficient (KUtran) and DRX parameter (DRX cycle length coefficient) delivered by CN in the paging message.

For the paging from the CS domain, K = Min (Kcs,KUtran)

For the paging from the PS domain, if the CN delivers the DRX Cycle Length Coefficient in the paging message, then K is equal to Min (Kps,KUtran,DRX Cycle Length Coefficient); if the CN does not deliver the DRX Cycle Length Coefficient, then K is equal to Min (Kps, KUtran).

Refer to the PO calculation formula as follows:

Paging Occasion = {(IMSI div N) mod (DRX cycle length div PBP)} * PBP + n * DRX cycle length + Frame Offset

Among:

N = SCCPCH channel number of intra-cell bearer PCH

DRX cycle length = 2k frame; the K value refers to the preceding content.

PBP = 1

n = SFN

When the content of system broadcast updates, the RNC voluntarily originates PAGING TYPE 1 to inform the UEs in the IDLE and PCH states. The system cyclically transmits the PI on PICH within the whole DRX period. The K value of 2k of the DRX period is set to MAX (Kcs, Kps, KUtran).

PAGING TYPE 2

When the UE is in the DCH or FACH state, the UTRAN originates the paging process and transmits the PAGING TYPE 2 message on DCCH. The UTRAN sets the paging cause in the Paging Cause of PAGING TYPE 2. Receiving PAGING TYPE 2, the UE in the DCH or FACH state starts up the receiving process of paging and reports the paging cause and paging record type identifier to the upper layer.

UE Capacity Enquiry

The RNC transmits the UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message to the UE to query the capacity information of UE. After receiving the message, the UE transmits the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message to the RNC; The RNC retransmits the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM information for acknowledgment. See Figure 5.



F I G U R E 5 UE C AP AC I T Y E N Q U I R Y

As shown in Figure 5 , under the following scenarios, the RNC will query the UE capacity:

When the RNC needs to know of the UE capacity information, it establishes the UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY information and transmits the message to the UE.

When the UE is in the connection mode and its capacity information changes, the UE transmits the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message to the RNC. The message includes the capacity information such as protocol version realized by UE (R99/R4/R5), whether to support HS-PDSCH, whether to support to concurrently read SCCPCH, DPCH and HS-PDSCH as well as to concurrently configure the DL capacity of HS-PDSCH and the physical layer classification of HS-DSCH, whether to support to estimate HS-PDSCH and HS-SCCH according to the dedicated pilot. After saving the UE capacity information, the RNC constructs the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message and transmits the message to the UE.

If the RNC does not receive the CAPABILITY INFORMATION message from the UE within 5s, it assumes that the UE capacity information enquiry is failed.

Radio Connection Monitoring While the radio connection state of UE having the established RRC, if the poor radio quality or other causes make the RNC to decide that the radio connection between a UE and network has been actually interrupted, the RNC immediately releases all resources that assigned to the UE, including all RB resources having established services as well as release of RRC connection and lu interface connection. The RAN supports the following modes to monitor the radio connection state:

The Node B monitors the RL state.

It is suitable for the UE on DCH. While monitoring the radio link state of UE, the Node B finds UL RL out of frame or other causes resulting in the radio link unavailable. the Node B



transmits the RL failure message to the RNC. The interval should be 10s from UL out of frame to the time the Node B transmits the RL failure message.

F I G U R E 6 RAD I O L I N K F AI L U R E

CRNC Node B

RADIO LINK FAILURE INDICATION

If the cause value of RADIO LINK FAILURE INDICATION is unrecoverable, or the cause value is recoverable but the RNC does not receive RADIO LINK RESTORE INDICATION within 10s, the RNC assumes that the radio link of the UE is interrupted.

The RNC monitors the connection state of RLC.

After establishing the RRC connection, if the RNC has transmitted the message on the RLC layer but does not receive the UE response, it will retransmit the message. When the retransmitting number reaches 15, the RLC layer get reset. Once the Once the number reset reaches 6. the RNC assumes user-plane processing to be incorrect. Depending on this method, the RNC can monitor all RLC connections using the AM mode (the AM mode is used for the SRB). Further, the RNC can also monitor all UEs in the connection state.

The RNC monitors the cell update message of UE.

The UE on DCH or FACH transmits the CELL UPDATE message to the RNC, of which the AM_RLC error indication (RB2, RB3 or RB4) value is true. The UE on FACH transmits the CELL UPDATE message to the RNC, carrying the cause value such as Radio link failure or RLC unrecoverable error. When the received CELL UPDATE message from the UE indicates the preceding two errors, the RNC assumes the radio link of the UE is interrupted.

The RNC monitors the keep-alive timer of UE.

For the UE on FACH or PCH, the RNC does not exchange any message and data with the UE within the specified duration (T305+11 min.) and assumes the UE radio connection interrupted. When monitoring the radio connection of a UE that interrupted by the preceding four approaches, the RNC releases the radio resources and transmits the lu Release Request message to the CN via the lu interface to inform the CN for releasing the corresponding RAB resources.



Radio Connection Reestablishment During link interruption caused by poor radio quality, the UE on DCH reports CellUpdate message, carrying the cause value, and the RNC attempts to reestablish radio resources for the UE, as shown in Figure Figure 7

F I G U R E 7 CAL L R E E S T A B L I S H M E N T

When the Cell update cause reported in the CELL UPDATE message is Radio link failure (for example, T313 expiration) or RLC unrecoverable error (for example, the UL RB is reset on the RLC layer due to multiple data retransmission), and the value of AM_RLC error indication (RB2, RB3 or RB4) is FALSE, the RNC originates reestablishment of radio link. To delete the existing RL of the UE: If the RL belongs to the SRNC, the SRNC deletes the lub-interface RL process; if the belongs to other RNCs, the SRNC informs the DRNC of deleting the radio link. The RNC reconfigures the RB for the UE, reselects a channel and reconfigures the signaling and service parameters based on the selected channel. Meanwhile, it establishes the radio link via the lub interface and then transmits the contents of physical channel




and RB reconfiguration to the UE through the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message. To ensure the UE properly receiving the message, the RNC consecutively transmits the message three times with the identical RRC SNs. According to the contents delivered in the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, the UE performs the physical channel reconfiguration or RB reconfiguration. After completing reconfiguration, the UE responds the Physical Channel Reconfiguration Complete or RB Reconfiguration Complete message.
