RRC Connection Request is the first message transmitted by the UE when setting up an RRC Connection to the network

RRC

RRC connection Request

RRC

RRC connection reject

RRC

RRC connection setup

The network transmits this message when the requested RRC connection cannot be accepted. This message is used by the network to accept the establishment of an RRC connection for a UE, including assignment of signalling link information, transport channel information and optionally physical channel information.

This message is used for handover from UMTS to another system e.g. GSM. One or several messages from the other system can be included in the Inter-RAT message information element in this message. These messages are structured and coded according to that systems specification. This message is sent on the RRC connection used before the Inter-RAT Handover was executed. The message indicates that the UE has failed to seize the new channel in the other system. In case of the synchronized handover, the MS sends up to four HND_ACC messages to the BTS when receiving the HND_CMD (this applies to intra-BSC as well). The data of a HND_ACC message is only one byte long and carries the handover reference, that is, the temporary identifier of the MS.If the assignment procedure is used for the intra-BTS handover,then sending of the HND_ACC messages is not necessary.

The MS confirms handover by sending of HND_COM . Only now, the MSC receives the information in a HND_PERF message that a handover was performed by the BSS. This message is sent on the main DCCH from the mobile station to the network to indicate that the mobile station has established the main signalling link successfully.
