4.2RRC Layer Model
The functional entities of the RRC layer are described below:
-Routing of higher layer messages to different MM/CM entities (UE side) or different core network domains (UTRAN side) is handled by the Routing Function Entity (RFE).
-Broadcast functions are handled in the broadcast control function entity (BCFE). The BCFE is used to deliver the RRC services, which are required at the GC-SAP. The BCFE can use the lower layer services provided by the Tr-SAP and UM-SAP.
-Paging of UEs that do not have an RRC connection is controlled by the paging and notification control function entity (PNFE). The PNFE is used to deliver the RRC services that are required at the Nt-SAP. The PNFE can use the lower layer services provided by the Tr-SAP and UM-SAP.
-The Dedicated Control Function Entity (DCFE) handles all functions specific to one UE. The DCFE is used to deliver the RRC services that are required at the DC-SAP and can use lower layer services of UM/AM-SAP and Tr-SAP depending on the message to be sent and on the current UE service state.
-In TDD mode, the DCFE is assisted by the Shared Control Function Entity (SCFE) location in the C-RNC, which controls the allocation of the PDSCH and PUSCH using lower layers services of UM-SAP and Tr-SAP.
-The Transfer Mode Entity (TME) handles the mapping between the different entities inside the RRC layer and the SAPs provided by RLC.
NOTE 1:Logical information exchange is necessary also between the RRC sublayer functional entities. Most of that is implementation dependent and not necessary to present in detail in a specification.
Figure 4.2-1 shows the RRC model for the UE and Figure 4.2-2 and Figure 4.2-3 show the RRC model for the UTRAN.
NOTE 2:The figure shows only the types of SAPs that are used. Multiple instances of Tr-SAP, UM-SAP and AM-SAP are possible. Especially, different functional entities usually use different instances of SAP types.

4.3Protocol specification principles
This protocol specification is based on the applicable general guidelines given in [14].
In this specification, a notation of variables is used. The variables are defined in subclause 13.4. Variables are typically used to represent a status or a result of an action, such as reception of an information element in a message, which is used to specify a behaviour somewhere else in the specification, such as when setting the value of an information element in a transmitted message. The variables only serve the purpose of specifying the protocol, and do not therefore impose any particular implementation.
When specifying the UE behaviour at reception of messages, the behaviour that is tied to reception or non-reception of individual information elements, and in some cases combinations of information elements, is specified in one location (subclause 8.6).
5RRC Functions and Services provided to upper layers
5.1RRC Functions
The RRC performs the functions listed below. A more detailed description of these functions is provided in [2]:
-Broadcast of information related to the non-access stratum (Core Network);
-Broadcast of information related to the access stratum;
-Establishment, maintenance and release of an RRC connection between the UE and UTRAN;
-Establishment, reconfiguration and release of Radio Bearers;
-Assignment, reconfiguration and release of radio resources for the RRC connection;
-RRC connection mobility functions;
-Control of requested QoS;
-UE measurement reporting and control of the reporting;
-Outer loop power control;
-Control of ciphering;
-Slow DCA (TDD mode);
-Paging;
-Initial cell selection and cell re-selection;
-Arbitration of radio resources on uplink DCH;
-RRC message integrity protection;
-Timing advance (TDD mode);
-CBS control.
5.2RRC Services provided to upper layers
The RRC offers the following services to upper layers, a description and primitives of these services are provided in [2] and [17].
-General Control;
-Notification;
-Dedicated control.
The RRC layer provides the UE-UTRAN portion of signalling connections to the upper layers to support the exchange of upper layer's information flow. The signalling connection is used between the user equipment and the core network to transfer upper layer information. For each core network domain, at most one signalling connection may exist at the same time. The RRC layer maps the signalling connections for one UE on a single RRC connection. For the upper layer data transfer on signalling connections, the RRC layer supports the discrimination between two different classes, named "High priority" (corresponding to "SAPI 0" for a GSM-MAP based core network) and "Low priority" (corresponding to "SAPI 3" for a GSM-MAP based core network).
5.3Primitives between RRC and upper layers
The primitives between RRC and the upper layers are described in [17].
6Services expected from lower layers
6.1Services expected from Layer 2
The services provided by layer 2 are described in [2], [15] and [16].
6.2Services expected from Layer 1
The services provided by layer 1 are described in [2].
6.3Signalling Radio Bearers
The Radio Bearers (RB) available for transmission of RRC messages are defined as "signalling radio bearers" and are specified in the following. The UE and UTRAN shall select the signalling radio bearers for RRC messages using RLC-TM, RLC-UM or RLC-AM on the DCCH and CCCH, according to the following:
-Signalling radio bearer RB0 shall be used for all messages sent on the CCCH (UL: RLC-TM, DL: RLC-UM).
-Signalling radio bearer RB1 shall be used for all messages sent on the DCCH, when using RLC unacknowledged mode (RLC-UM).
-Signalling radio bearer RB2 shall be used for all messages sent on the DCCH, when using RLC acknowledged mode (RLC-AM), except for the RRC messages carrying higher layer (NAS) signalling.
-Signalling radio bearer RB3 and optionally Signalling radio bearer RB4 shall be used for the RRC messages carrying higher layer (NAS) signalling and sent on the DCCH in RLC acknowledged mode (RLC-AM), as specified in subclauses 8.1.8., 8.1.9 and 8.1.10.
-Additionally, RBs whose identities shall be set between 5 and 32 may be used as signalling radio bearer for the RRC messages on the DCCH sent in RLC transparent mode (RLC-TM).
-RRC messages on the SHCCH are mapped either on RACH or on the USCH in the uplink using TM and either on FACH or on the DSCH using RLC-UM. These messages are only specified for TDD mode.
The Radio Bearer configuration for signalling radio bearer RB0, SHCCH, BCCH on FACH and PCCH on PCH are specified in subclauses 13.6, 13.6a, 13.6b and 13.6c.
