7.1 Services and Functions
Taught in 2. The six working groups, and where the line between them runs (TSG RAN — the group that specifies the radio, in depth), 5. The radio protocol stack, sublayer by sublayer (TSG RAN — the group that specifies the radio, in depth), 2. The six working groups and the line between them (TSG RAN — the group that specifies the radio, overview), 5. The layers a packet falls through, and the three states a device sits in (TSG RAN — the group that specifies the radio, overview), 3. What NR is, read off the document itself (TSG RAN — the group that specifies the radio, quick start).
The main services and functions of the RRC sublayer over the Uu interface include:
- Broadcast of System Information related to AS and NAS;
- Paging initiated by 5GC or NG-RAN;
- Establishment, maintenance and release of an RRC connection between the UE and NG-RAN including:
- Addition, modification and release of carrier aggregation;
- Addition, modification and release of Dual Connectivity in NR or between E-UTRA and NR.
- Security functions including key management;
- Establishment, configuration, maintenance and release of Signalling Radio Bearers (SRBs) and Data Radio Bearers (DRBs);
- Mobility functions including:
- Handover and context transfer;
- UE cell selection and reselection and control of cell selection and reselection;
- Inter-RAT mobility.
- QoS management functions;
- UE measurement reporting and control of the reporting;
- Detection of and recovery from radio link failure;
- NAS message transfer to/from NAS from/to UE.
The sidelink specific services and functions of the RRC sublayer over the Uu interface include:
