When this traffic channel AAL2 SVC (Path=m and Connection = n) on Iub is opened, downlink and
uplink FP synchronization frames can be monitored.
Sending a NBAP DL initiatingMessage Id-synchronizedRadioLinkReconfigurationCommit
(shortTransAction ID=j, NodeBCommunicationsContext-ID=p) is necessary to order the Node B to
switch to the new radio link previously prepared by the Synchronized Radio Link Reconfiguration
Preparation procedure.
The following messages in this DCH on AAL2 Path=g and Channel=h are:
DL RRC RadioBearerSetup (ULscramblingCode/DLchannelisationCode=b/, minULChCdLen=,
Transport Format Sets of DCHs, MappingInfo for radio bearers)
This message starts setup of a radio bearer that is part of a user plane radio access bearer (RAB).
The connection is identified by its RAB-ID, the user is identified by its uplink scrambling code. The
message contains the transport format sets of the DCHs, this time sent to UE plus the appropriate info
which radio bearer (DTCH) is mapped onto which DCH.
The example message shows that radio bearer ID = 5 (remember that ID 1 to 4 are already occupied
by SRBs) will be mapped onto the first dedicated channel for AMR info. In a similar way that is not
shown in the message example radio bearer no. 6 and 7 are mapped onto DCH 2 and DCH 3
(remember: NBAP DCH-ID + 1!). In addition the information about changed uplink channelisation code
length and downlink channelisation code number is included.
