8.4.4  Resetp. 93

8.4.4.1  Generalp. 93

The purpose of the Reset procedure is to align the resources in the NG-RAN node1 and the NG-RAN node2 in the event of an abnormal failure. The procedure either resets the Xn interface or selected UE contexts. This procedure doesn't affect the application level configuration data exchanged during, e.g., the Xn Setup procedure.
The procedure uses non UE-associated signalling.

8.4.4.2  Successful Operationp. 94

Reproduction of 3GPP TS 38.423, Fig. 8.4.4.2-1: Reset, successful operation
Up
The procedure is initiated with the RESET REQUEST message sent from the NG-RAN node1 to the NG-RAN node2. Upon receipt of this message,
  • if the RESET REQUEST message indicates full reset the NG-RAN node2 shall abort any other ongoing procedures over Xn between the NG-RAN node1 and the NG-RAN node2. The NG-RAN node2 shall delete all the context information related to the NG-RAN node1, except the application level configuration data exchanged during the Xn Setup or the NG-RAN node Configuration Update procedures and release the corresponding resources. After completion of release of the resources, the NG-RAN node2 shall respond with the RESET RESPONSE message.
  • if the RESET REQUEST message indicates partial reset, the NG-RAN node2 shall abort any other ongoing procedures only for the indicated UE associated signalling connections identified either by the NG-RAN node1 UE XnAP ID IE or the NG-RAN node1 UE XnAP ID IE or both, for which the NG-RAN node2 shall delete all the context information related to the NG-RAN node1 and release the corresponding resources. After completion of release of the resources, the NG-RAN node2 shall respond with the RESET RESPONSE message indicating the UE contexts admitted to be released. The NG-RAN node2 receiving the request for partial reset does not need to wait for the release or reconfiguration of radio resources to be completed before returning the RESET RESPONSE message. The NG-RAN node2 receiving the request for partial reset shall include in the RESET RESPONSE message, for each UE association to be released, the same list of UE-associated logical Xn-connections over Xn. The list shall be in the same order as received in the RESET REQUEST message and shall include also unknown UE-associated logical Xn-connections.
If case of network sharing with multiple cell ID broadcast with shared Xn-C signalling transport, as specified in TS 38.300, the RESET REQUEST message and the RESET RESPONSE message shall include the Interface Instance Indication IE to identify the corresponding interface instance.
Interactions with other procedures:
If the RESET REQUEST message indicates full reset, the NG-RAN node2 shall abort any other ongoing procedure (except for a Reset procedures).
If the RESET REQUEST message indicates partial reset, the NG-RAN node2 shall abort any other ongoing procedure (except for a Reset procedures) on the same Xn interface related to a UE associated signalling connection indicated in the RESET REQUEST message.

8.4.7  Failure Indication |R16|p. 97

8.4.7.1  Generalp. 97

The purpose of the Failure Indication procedure is to transfer information regarding RRC re-establishment attempts, or received RLF Reports, between NG-RAN nodes. The signalling takes place from the NG-RAN node at which a re-establishment attempt is made, or an RLF Report is received, to an NG-RAN node to which the UE concerned may have previously been attached prior to the connection failure. This may aid the detection of radio link failure, handover failure cases.
The procedure uses non UE-associated signalling.

Reproduction of 3GPP TS 38.423, Fig. 8.4.8.2-1: Handover Report, successful operation
Up
NG-RAN node1 initiates the procedure by sending the HANDOVER REPORT message to NG-RAN node2. When receiving the message NG-RAN node2 shall assume that a mobility-related problem was detected.
If the Handover Report Type IE is set to "HO too early" or "HO to wrong cell", then NG-RAN node1 indicates to NG-RAN node2 that, following a successful handover from a cell of NG-RAN node2 to a cell of NG-RAN node1, a radio link failure occurred and the UE attempted RRC Re-establishment or re-connected either at the original cell of NG-RAN node2 (Handover Too Early), or at another cell (Handover to Wrong Cell). The detection of Handover Too Early and Handover to Wrong Cell events is made according to TS 38.300.
The HANDOVER REPORT message may include:
  • the Mobility Information IE, if the Mobility Information IE was sent for this handover from NG-RAN node2 (in case the NG-RAN node2 provided it more than once, the most recent Mobility Information IE is included in the HANDOVER REPORT message);
  • the Source cell C-RNTI IE.
  • the CHO Configuration IE, if the CHO Configuration IE was sent for this handover from NG-RAN node2.
If received, NG-RAN node2 uses the above information according to TS 38.300.
If the Handover Report Type IE is set to "Inter-system ping-pong", then NG-RAN node2 shall deduce that a completed handover from a cell of NG-RAN node2 to a cell in another system might have resulted in an inter-system ping-pong and the UE was successfully handed over to a cell of NG-RAN node1 (indicated with Target cell CGI IE).
Interaction with the Failure Indication procedure:
If NG-RAN node1 receives a UE RLF Report from an NG-RAN node via the FAILURE INDICATION message, as described in TS 38.300, NG-RAN node1 may also include it in the UE RLF Report Container IE included in the HANDOVER REPORT message.

Reproduction of 3GPP TS 38.423, Fig. 8.5.4.2-1: IAB Resource Coordination triggered by the F1-terminating/non-F1-terminating IAB-donor, successful operation
Up
The F1-terminating/non F1-terminating IAB-donor initiates the procedure by sending the IAB RESOURCE COORDINATION REQUEST message to the non-F1-terminating/F1-terminating IAB-donor. The non-F1-terminating/F1-terminating IAB-donor shall respond with the IAB RESOURCE COORDINATION RESPONSE message to the F1-terminating/non-F1-terminating IAB-donor.
If the Boundary Node Cells List IE and/or Parent Node Cells List IE is included in the IAB RESOURCE COORDINATION REQUEST or in the IAB RESOURCE COORDINATION RESPONSE message, the receiving F1-terminating/non-F1-terminating IAB-donor should take this information into account for resource coordination with the sending non-F1-terminating/F1-terminating IAB-donor.
