5.1.1  Control Planep. 124

5.1.1.1  Generalp. 124

The control plane consists of protocols for control and support of the user plane functions:
  • controlling the E-UTRA network access connections, such as attaching to and detaching from E-UTRAN;
  • controlling the attributes of an established network access connection, such as activation of an IP address;
  • controlling the routing path of an established network connection in order to support user mobility; and
  • controlling the assignment of network resources to meet changing user demands.
The following control planes are used in E-UTRAN mode.
