Part IV
RRC Connection Setup Complete
• Transport channel capability: is distributed to the resource manager and to the admission
control entity
• RF capability: the RF capability is distributed to the resource manager, the power control
entity and to the handover control entity
• Physical channel entity: is distributed to resource manager
• UE multi-mode/multi-RAT capability
• Security capability
• LCS capability
• Measurement capability: is distributed to the handover control entity.
• Presence is mandatory if IE Multi-mode capability has the value "FDD" or "FDD/TDD"
and a FDD capability update has been requested in a previous message.
• Otherwise this field is not needed in the message.
• Among the optional other information elements, we find the Inter_RAT UE access capability. The
RNC shall extract the inter-system message from the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message
and transfer it to the handover control entity.
