What is RRC setup?

LTE RRC connection setup. Establishing an RRC connection in LTE typically involves the following steps: UE initiates a session to the eNodeB using a random RA-RNTI. eNodeB assigns a C-RNTI and sends timing adjustment to the UE. UE adjusts the timing and sends an RRC Connection Request via the UL-SCH channel.

What is RRC inactive in 5G?

In 5G, they have introduced new RRC Stats called “RRC Inactive” to minimize latency as well as to reduce signalling load . Transitions from RRC Inactive to Connected is very quick as UE Context is stored at gNB and UE. NG signalling keep alive between gNB to AMF, GTP-U also remain alive between gNB to UPF.

What is RRC in 5G?

The Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol is used in UMTS, LTE and 5G on the Air interface. It is a layer 3 (Network Layer) protocol used between UE and Base Station. This protocol is specified by 3GPP in TS 25.331 for UMTS, in TS 36.331 for LTE and in TS 38.331 for 5G New Radio.
