Signalling procedures
Signalling procedures can be divided to Access Stratum (AS) and Non-Access
Stratum (NAS) signalling procedures
Radio Resource Control (RRC) procedures are the AS stratum procedures in WCDMA
networks
Both procedure types are involved in connection or call setup events
NAS procedures are covered in more detail in 3GRPLS course module 8
AS procedures covered in this module are
RRC connection setup
RRC connection release
Radio bearer setup/release/re-configuration

 NSN Aspects Related to RRC Connection Setup
Complete
The UE can return its capabilities to the SRNC with the IE Radio Access Capability, which contains

Transport channel capability: is distributed to the resource manager and to the admission
control entity
RF capability: the RF capability is distributed to the resource manager, the power control
entity and to the handover control entity
Physical channel entity: is distributed to resource manager
UE multi-mode/multi-RAT capability
Security capability
LCS capability
Measurement capability: is distributed to the handover control entity.
Presence is mandatory if IE Multi-mode capability has the value "FDD" or "FDD/TDD"
and a FDD capability update has been requested in a previous message.
Otherwise this field is not needed in the message.

Among the optional other information elements, we find the Inter_RAT UE access capability. The RNC
shall extract the inter-system message from the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message and
transfer it to the handover control entity.
