In order to facilitate the understanding of these procedures, the following rules in the drawing of Message Sequence Chart (MSC) are applied: Messages are always exchanged between nodes, i.e. the sender and the receiver of a message are nodes and not single protocol entities; The protocol entity inside a node that is sending/receiving a message is represented by means of an ellipse, containing the protocol entity name; Each message is numbered, so that a numbered list with explanations can be added below the figure; Message parameters may be specified as shown in Figure 1 only when required for a clear understanding of the procedures; Explicit signalling is represented by means of continuos arrows; Inband signalling is represented by means of dotted arrows; A description of the relevant actions may be included as shown in Figure 1; The Setup and Release of Iub/Iur and Iu Data Transport Bearer with the ALCAP protocol is represented as shown in Figure 1; The transport channel used by the MAC protocol or the logical channel used by the RLC and protocols may be indicated before the message name as shown in figure 1

The may be paged for a CS or PS service. Since the is in Idle Mode, the location is only known at CN level and therefore paging is distributed over a defined geographical area (e.g. LA). NOTE: Example below illustrates scenario where LA spans across 2 s.

21 20 TR V5.1.0 ( ) CN 1. Paging 1. Paging 2. PCCH : Paging Type 1 3. PCCH : Paging Type 1 Figure 5: Paging for a in Idle Mode 1. CN initiates the paging of a over a LA spanning two s (i.e. 1 and 2) via message Paging. Parameters: CN Domain Indicator, Permanent NAS Identity, Temporary Identity, Paging Cause. 2. Paging of performed by cell1 using Paging Type 1 message. 3. Paging of performed by cell2 using Paging Type 1 message. The detects page message from 1 (as example) and the procedure for NAS signalling connection establishment follows. NAS message transfer can now be performed. This procedure described for idle mode, applies also to the connected mode in the case of CELL_PCH and URA_PCH states Paging for a in Connected Mode (CELL_DCH and CELL_FACH states) This can occur in case of two core network domains, with the mobility management independent of each other. Two possible solutions exists: The UTRAN coordinates the paging request with the existing connection. The coordinates the paging request with the existing connection. The following example shows how paging is performed for a in Connected Mode (CELL_DCH and CELL_FACH states) when the UTRAN coordinates the paging request with the existing connection using DCCH. Serving CN 1. Paging 2. DCCH : Paging Type 2 Figure 6: Paging for a in Connected Mode (CELL_DCH and CELL_FACH states) 1. CN initiates the paging of a via message Paging. Parameters: CN Domain Indicator, Permanent NAS Identity, Temporary Identity, Paging Cause. 2. S sends message Paging Type 2.

22 21 TR V5.1.0 ( ) 7.2 NAS Signalling Connection Establishment This example shows establishment of a NAS Signalling Connection. This establishment could be request by the terminal by itself (for example to initiate a service) or could be stimulated by a paging from the CN. Serving CN 1. Connection Establishment 2. DCCH : Initial Direct Transfer 3. Initial Message Figure 7: NAS Signalling Connection Establishment 1. Connection is established (see or 7.3.2). 2. sends Initial Direct Transfer to S. Parameters: Initial NAS Message (could for a GSM based CN be e.g. CM Service Request, Location Update Request etc.) CN node indicator (it indicates the correct CN node into which the NAS message shall be forwarded). 3. S initiates signalling connection to CN, and sends the message Initial Message. Parameters: NAS PDU (could for a GSM based CN be e.g. CM Service Request, Location Update Request etc.), CN domain indicator (indicating the CN domain towards which this message is sent). The NAS signalling connection between and CN can now be used for NAS message transfer. 7.3 Connection Establishment The following examples show establishment of a connection either in dedicated transport channel (DCH) state or in common transport channel (RACH/FACH) state DCH Establishment This example shows establishment of an connection in dedicated transport channel (DCH) state.

The request for set-up of Iub Data Transport bearer is acknowledged by. 5./6.The and S establish synchronism for the Iub and Iur Data Transport Bearer by means of exchange of the appropriate DCH Frame Protocol frames Downlink Synchronisation and Uplink Synchronisation. Then starts DL transmission. 7. Message Connection Setup is sent on CCCH from S to. Parameters: Initial Identity, U-RNTI, Capability update Requirement, Transport Format Set, Transport Format Combination Set, frequency, DL scrambling code (FDD only), Time Slots (TDD only), User Codes (TDD only), Power control information. 8. achieves uplink sync and notifies S with message Radio Link Restore Indication. 9.

24 23 TR V5.1.0 ( ) RACH/FACH Establishment This example shows establishment of an connection on the RACH/FACH common transport channel. A prerequisite for this example is that the necessary Iub Data Transport bearer for the RACH/FACH is established prior to this procedure. Serving RNS Serving 1. CCCH : Connection Request 2.
