Basic Model of UMTS Network TransactionsPaging

RRC Connection Establishment

Transaction Reasoning(Signaling conn. establishment)

Authentication andSecurity

Transaction Setup andRAB Allocation

Transaction(user or control plane)

Transaction Release andRAB Release

RRC Connection Release

UE indicates the CN the requested service

A transaction comprises all the elementary procedures required to enable

– the transport of user data (PS or CS mode) or

– the exchange of higher-layer signaling messages (e.g. MM or CM)

Allocation of bearers to support required UMTS bearer service

Transfer of data

Release of all bearers to support UMTS bearer service

Paging

Paging type 1:• UE idle mode (no RRC connection)• RRC connected modes cell_PCH or URA_PCH

Example: paging for a UE in idle mode

PagingPaging type 2:• UE is in RRC connected mode cell_DCH or cell_FACH• Paging request from another CN domain

Example: paging for a UE in RRC Connected Mode (CELL_DCH or CELL_FACH state)

2 cases:• UTRAN coordinates the paging request with the existing RRC connection (given example)• UE coordinates the paging request with the existing RRC connection

RRC Connection SetupReasons for RRC connection setup:• Call setup (mobile-originated and mobile-terminated calls)

– Conversational call– Streaming call– Interactive call– Background call– Emergency call– Call re-establishment

• Exchange of signaling messages (low/high priority)

RRC connection request message contains, e.g.• IMSI, TMSI, IMEI• Location area, routing area identity, etc.• Other information: e.g. HSDPA/ E-DCH UE capability, standards release
