5G NR RRC State Transitions 5G NR is supposed to inter-work with the legacy technologies like LTE (E-UTRA), UMTS (UTRA) and GSM/GPRS (GERAN). New Radio has introduced a new RRC state called “RRC INACTIVE” to meet the requirement of 5G services. New RRC Inactive State Characteristics Maintenance of context information by the UE and the … Read more
The Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol is used in on the Air Interface. The major functions of the RRC protocol include connection establishment and release functions, broadcast of system information, radio bearer establishment, reconfiguration and release, RRC connection mobility procedures, paging notification and release and outer loop power control.By means of the signaling functions, the RRC configures the user … Read more
