3  Definitions, Symbols and Abbreviationsp. 27

3.1  Definitionsp. 27

For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
Elementary Procedure:
RNSAP protocol consists of Elementary Procedures (Eps). An Elementary Procedure is a unit of interaction between two RNCs. An EP consists of an initiating message and possibly a response message. Two kinds of EPs are used:
  • Class 1: Elementary Procedures with response (success or failure);
  • Class 2: Elementary Procedures without response.
For Class 1 EPs, the types of responses can be as follows:
Successful
  • A signalling message explicitly indicates that the elementary procedure has been successfully completed with the receipt of the response.
Unsuccessful
  • A signalling message explicitly indicates that the EP failed.
Class 2 EPs are considered always successful.
Prepared Reconfiguration:
A Prepared Reconfiguration exists when the Synchronised Radio Link Reconfiguration Preparation procedure has been completed successfully. The Prepared Reconfiguration does not exist anymore only after either of the procedures Synchronised Radio Link Reconfiguration Commit or Synchronised Radio Link Reconfiguration Cancellation has been completed. In particular, the Prepared Reconfiguration still exists if the object (e.g. Radio Link) concerned by the Synchronised Radio Link Reconfiguration (e.g. in the case of an HS-DSCH Setup) is removed, but the UE Context still exists.
UE Context:
The UE Context contains the necessary information for the DRNC/DBSS to communicate with a specific UE. The UE Context is created by the Radio Link Setup procedure or by the Uplink Signalling Transfer procedure when the UE makes its first access in a cell controlled by the DRNS/DBSS or by Enhanced Relocation procedure when the procedure is the first dedicated RNSAP procedure for the UE. The UE Context is deleted by the Radio Link Deletion procedure, by the Common Transport Channel Resources Release procedure, or by the Downlink Signalling Transfer procedure when neither any Radio Links nor any common transport channels are established towards the concerned UE. The UE Context is identified by the SCCP Connection for messages using connection oriented mode of the signalling bearer and the D-RNTI for messages using connectionless mode of the signalling bearer, unless specified otherwise in the procedure text.
Distant RNC Context:
The Distant RNC context is created by the first Common Measurement Initiation Procedure or Information Exchange Initiation Procedure initiated by one RNC/BSS and requested from another RNC/BSS. The Distant RNC Context is deleted after the Common Measurement Termination, the Common Measurement Failure, the Information Exchange Termination or the Information Exchange Failure procedure when there is no more Common Measurement and no more Information to be provided by the requested RNC/BSS to the requesting RNC/BSS. The Distant RNC Context is identified by a connection oriented signalling bearer (See TS 25.422) as, for common measurements and information exchange, only the connection oriented mode of the signalling bearer is used.
Signalling radio bearer 2:
The signalling radio bearer 2 is used by the UE to access a GERAN cell in order to perform RRC procedures.

4  Generalp. 32

4.1  Procedure Specification Principlesp. 32

The principle for specifying the procedure logic is to specify the functional behaviour of the DRNC/CRNC exactly and completely. The SRNC functional behaviour is left unspecified. The Physical Channel Reconfiguration procedure, [TDD - the UE Measurement Inititation, the UE Measurement Reporting, UE Measurement Termination, UE Measurement Failure,] and the Reset procedure are an exception from this principle.
The following specification principles have been applied for the procedure text in subclause 8:
  • The procedure text discriminates between:
    1. Functionality which "shall" be executed
      The procedure text indicates that the receiving node "shall" perform a certain function Y under a certain condition. If the receiving node supports procedure X but cannot perform functionality Y requested in the REQUEST message of a Class 1 EP, the receiving node shall respond with the message used to report unsuccessful outcome for this procedure, containing an appropriate cause value.
    2. Functionality which "shall, if supported" be executed
      The procedure text indicates that the receiving node "shall, if supported," perform a certain function Y under a certain condition. If the receiving node supports procedure X, but does not support functionality Y, the receiving node shall proceed with the execution of the EP, possibly informing the requesting node about the not supported functionality.
Any required inclusion of an optional IE in a response message is explicitly indicated in the procedure text. If the procedure text does not explicitly indicate that an optional IE shall be included in a response message, the optional IE shall not be included. For requirements for including Criticality Diagnostics IE, see section 10. For examples on how to use the Criticality Diagnostics IE, see Annex C.
Up

4.2  Forwards and Backwards Compatibilityp. 32

The forwards and backwards compatibility of the protocol is assured by a mechanism in which all current and future messages, and IEs or groups of related IEs, include ID and criticality fields that are coded in a standard format that will not be changed in the future. These parts can always be decoded regardless of the standard version.

4.3  Source Signalling Address Handlingp. 32

The sender of an RNSAP messages shall include the Source Signalling Address, i.e. the Signalling Address of the sending node.

4.4  Specification Notationsp. 32

5  RNSAP Servicesp. 33

5.1  RNSAP Procedure Modulesp. 33

The Iur interface RNSAP procedures are divided into five modules as follows:
  1. RNSAP Basic Mobility Procedures;
  2. RNSAP Dedicated Procedures;
  3. RNSAP Common Transport Channel Procedures;
  4. RNSAP Global Procedures;
  5. RNSAP MBMS Procedures.
The Basic Mobility Procedures module contains procedures used to handle the mobility within UTRAN, within GERAN and between UTRAN and GERAN.
The Dedicated Procedures module contains procedures that are used to handle DCHs, [FDD - F-DPCH,] [TDD - DSCHs, USCHs], HS-DSCH and E-DCH between two RNSs. If procedures from this module are not used in a specific Iur, then the usage of DCH, [FDD - F-DPCH,] [TDD - DSCH, USCH,] HS-DSCH and E-DCH traffic between corresponding RNSs is not possible.
The Common Transport Channel Procedures module contains procedures that are used to control common transport channel data streams (excluding the DSCH, HS-DSCH and USCH) over Iur interface.
The Global Procedures module contains procedures that are not related to a specific UE. The procedures in this module are in contrast to the above modules involving two peer CRNCs/CBSSs.
The MBMS Procedures module contains procedures that are specific to MBMS and used for cases that cannot be handled by other modules.
Up

5.2  Parallel Transactionsp. 34

Unless explicitly indicated in the procedure specification, at any instance in time one protocol peer shall have a maximum of one ongoing RNSAP Dedicated procedure related to a certain UE.

6  Services Expected from Signalling Transportp. 34

The signalling transport shall provide two different service modes for the RNSAP.
  1. Connection oriented data transfer service. This service is supported by a signalling connection between two RNCs. It shall be possible to dynamically establish and release signalling connections based on the need. Each active UE shall have its own signalling connection. The signalling connection shall provide in sequence delivery of RNSAP messages. RNSAP shall be notified if the signalling connection breaks.
  2. Connectionless data transfer service. RNSAP shall be notified in case a RNSAP message did not reach the intended peer RNSAP entity.
