Main Functionalities:
Data transfer in 3 modes:
Transparent without protocol information
Unacknowledged no guarantee, with protocol
information (sequence number etc.
Acknowledged with guaranteed data transfer
Segmentations and Reassembly
SDU's of higher layer (RR, AMR,PDP are
segmented and reassembled on the RL entities of
the transmitting receiving sides.
Data Flow for not-transparent
MA and RL
Iub procedures - NS (1)

Iub procedures - user traffic
User voice and data information is carried over
the Dedicated and possibly the ommon
Transport hannels.
AMR is used on S calls
PDP and P are used on PS calls
IUR
The ur interface is the interface between two RN's.
When a U leaves the area controlled by an RN to
another RN, the U's related data is now transferred to
the new RN over the ur interface.
The original RN is now referred to as Serving RN and
the new RN is now referred to as Drift RN.
Dedicated channels with the same characteristics are
formed between the new DRN to the relevant Node-B,
according to messages received on the ur.
AAL2 decode is the same as ub (same protocol stack
AAL5 protocol stack is different

Summary
The ub and ur interfaces use resembling
messages and procedures.
Many protocol layer identifiers and a comple
mechanism of channels creation require an
enhanced decoding solution.
The ub and ur add-ons, along with the broader
view of the onsultants, enable the decode and
troubleshooting of these interfaces.
