3. Radio Access Bearer Establishment from CELL_DCH with DCH Setup - synchronized
The following procedure shows a radio access bearer setup triggered by the core network (MSC or SGSN). The UE is initially in RRC state CELL_DCH. This means a DCH already exists for the UE. The radio access bearer requires a DCH. The procedure will show as general case a soft handover situation, this means we will see two radio links (already existing) in two different Node B and one Node B belongs to the serving RNC and the other Node B belongs to a drift RNC. The procedure will be performed as so called synchronized radi link modication. 1. Radio Access Bearer Request The core network will send the RANAP message RAB Assignment Request to the actual serving RNC of the UE. The RNC has to analyze the quality of service parameter for the RAB. These abstract parameters have to be mapped onto physical parameters for the setup of transport bearers on Iu, Iub, Iur and Uu. 2. Iu Bearer Setup and Radio Link Preparation The serving RNC begins now to set up all the individual bearer services. First of all the Iu bearer must be set up when a circuit switched service (Iu-CS) is wanted, for packet oriented services this is not necessary. Second the serving RNC triggers both Node B to prepare the radio link needed for the UE (Radio Link Reconguration Prepare). Because there is already a DCH, this one will simply be modied to fulll the requirements of the RAB. If both Node B have prepared the radio resources, they will send a Radio Link Reconguration Ready message to the serving RNC back. Concurrently with this the serving RNC triggers the establishment of AAL2 virtual channel resources for the radio link for Iub and Iur interfaces. These two ATM transport bearer resources require a synchronization between serving RNC and the Node B at the endpoint. This is done with the Iub/Iur frame protocols (Uplink Synchronization and Downlink Synchronization). 3.Radio Bearer Setup Completion Now that the radio link and the associated Iur/Iub transport bearer are established, it is time to change the DCH conguration. Therefore the serving RNC sends Radio Link Reconguration Commit to both Node B and the UE gets the Radio Bearer Setup message from it. The UE and the Node B will now apply the new transport formats and physical channel conguration and try to decode each other. If this is successful, the UE sends Radio Bearer Setup Complete to the serving RNC. This indicates a successful radio bearer setup. Thus the serving RNC can return RAB Assignment Response back to the core network with a success indication inside.
