Up
The gNB-CU initiates the procedure by sending UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message to the gNB-DU. If the gNB-DU succeeds to establish the UE context, it replies to the gNB-CU with UE CONTEXT SETUP RESPONSE. If no UE-associated logical F1-connection exists, the UE-associated logical F1-connection shall be established as part of the procedure. The gNB-CU shall perform RRC Reconfiguration or RRC connection resume as described in TS 38.331. The CellGroupConfig IE shall transparently be signaled to the UE as specified in TS 38.331

If the Conditional Inter-DU Mobility Information IE was included in the UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message, the gNB-DU shall include the received SpCell ID IE as the Requested Target Cell ID IE in the UE CONTEXT SETUP FAILURE message.
If the gNB-DU is not able to accept the SpCell ID IE in UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message, it shall reply with the UE CONTEXT SETUP FAILURE message with an appropriate cause value. Further, if the Candidate SpCell List IE is included in the UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message and the gNB-DU is not able to accept the SpCell ID IE, the gNB-DU shall, if supported, include the Potential SpCell List IE in the UE CONTEXT SETUP FAILURE message and the gNB-CU should take this into account for selection of an opportune SpCell. The gNB-DU shall include the cells in the Potential SpCell List IE in a priority order, where the first cell in the list is the one most desired and the last one is the one least desired (e.g., based on load conditions). If the Potential SpCell List IE is present but no Potential SpCell Item IE is present, the gNB-CU should assume that none of the cells in the Candidate SpCell List IE are acceptable for the gNB-DU.

8.3.1.4  Abnormal Conditionsp. 62

If the gNB-DU receives a UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message containing a E-UTRAN QoS IE for a GBR QoS DRB but where the GBR QoS Information IE is not present, the gNB-DU shall report the establishment of the corresponding DRB as failed in the DRB Failed to Setup List IE of the UE CONTEXT SETUP RESPONSE message with an appropriate cause value. If the gNB-DU receives a UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message containing a DRB QoS IE for a GBR QoS DRB but where the GBR QoS Flow Information IE is not present, the gNB-DU shall report the establishment of the corresponding DRBs as failed in the DRB Failed to Setup List IE of the UE CONTEXT SETUP RESPONSE message with an appropriate cause value.
If the Delay Critical IE is included in the Dynamic 5QI Descriptor IE within the DRB QoS IE in the UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message and is set to the value "delay critical" but the Maximum Data Burst Volume IE is not present, the gNB-DU shall report the establishment of the corresponding DRB as failed in the DRB Failed to Setup List IE of the of the UE CONTEXT SETUP RESPONSE message with an appropriate cause value.
In case of "CHO-replace" when the Target gNB-DU UE F1AP ID IE is included, if the candidate cell in the SpCell ID IE included in the UE CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message was not prepared using the same UE-associated signaling connection, the gNB-DU shall ignore this candidate cell.
