 Attach
• Attach is a process through which UE
registered with the MME/NW.
• So that it can use its services further , for ex.
Call (voice or video), browsing , downloading
etc.
• UE sends the attach req. to the network when
it turn on or sometimes turn on and off the
airplane mode.
 Power on process/Attach process/UE
registration process
• UE power ON
• UE’s protocol gets ON
• UE perform scanning(System or band
scanning)
• PSS and SSS received
• PBCH decoding(MIB decoding)
• PDCCH and PDSCH decoding
• SIB decoding
• Cell selection
• RACH process
• RRC Connection set up process.(3 way
handshake)
UE rrc connection set up req. eNB
rrc connection set up response
rrc connection set up complete +Attach
Req.

UE sends attach req. in RRC connection set up

complete msg , but eNB can not extract it, as NAS
msg is transparent to eNB
 RRC Set UP Req. (UE>>>eNB)
• RRC connection req.
• IE>>(1)Establishment Cause:

(2) UE identity >>STMSI / Random Number (range=0 to
240 -1 )
STMSI >> used when UE move to idle mode after
completing the attach procedure.
