What is RRC and PDCP?

PDCP stands for Packet Data Convergence Protocol . It is a layer of 5G NR radio protocol stack. It is placed top of the RLC Layer and below of the SDAP layer(for user plane) or RRC layer (for control plane) in the Radio Protocol Stack in 5G NR. Due to header compression functionality, it is called as convergence …
