Radio Network Controller (RNC)
 One RNC controls one or more Node Bs.
 It may be connected via Iu interface to an
MSC (IuCS), or to an SGSN via Iu (IuPS).
 The interface between RNCs (Iur) is logical
interface, and a direct physical connection
does not necessarily exist.
 An RNC is comparable to a base station
controller (BSC) in GSM networks.

Node B
 Node B is the UMTS equivalent of a base station
transceiver. It may support one or more cells, although in
general only one cell one Node B.
 It is a logical terminal and the base station is often used
for physical entity.
 Functions
– Mapping of Node B logical resources onto hardware resources
– Uplink power control
– Reporting of uplink interference measurements and downlink
power information
– Contains the air interface physical layer, it has to perform many
functions such as RF processing, modulations, coding, and so on.

WCDMA Air Interface
 In UMTS, the UTRAN is used to keep the mobility management
(MM) and connection management (CM) layers independent of
the air interface radio technology
 This idea is realized as the concepts of access stratum (AS) and
nonaccess stratum (NAS)
– AS: functional entity that includes radio access protocols
between the user equipment (UE) and the UTRAN (terminate
here).
– NAS: includes core network (CN) protocols between the UE
and the CN itself.
 The NAS protocols can be kept the same, thus, the GSM’s MM and
CM resources are used almost unchanged in 3G NAS.

 Notification: This includes paging and notification broadcast
services.
– The paging services broadcasts paging information in a
certain geographical area, but it is addressed to a specific UE
or UEs.
– The notification broadcast service is defined to provide
information broadcast to all UEs in a cell or cells.

Quality of Services Classes
 The UMTS allows the UEs to negotiate the QoS parameters for
a radio bearer (RB).
 Negotiation
– The procedure is always initiated by the application in
the UE.
– It sends a request defining the resources it needs
– The network checks whether it can provide the requested
resources.
– It can either grant the requested resources, offer a small
amount of resources, or reject the request.
– The UE can either accept or reject the modified offer.
– It is also possible to renegotiate these parameters if the
application requirements change or resource status
change.
IFA’2004
26
QoS Classes (2)
 There are four types of QoS classes
– Conversational real-time class such as voice
traffic
– Interactive class (best-effort) such as web
browsing
– Streaming real-time class such as streaming
video
– Background class (best-effort) such as emails.
IFA’2004
27
Conversational Real-Time Services
 Bidirectional and more or less symmetric
 Technically the most challenging class
– Very short delay is acceptable
– Traditional retransmission protocols (ARQ) cannot be
easily used. Instead, forward-error-correction (FEC)
must be used.
– Small delay requirements means also that buffers
cannot be used in receiving end to smooth the
variations in delay (jitter).
 Some errors are acceptable because people cannot sense
small errors in voice or video information.
IFA’2004
28
Interactive Services
 A user requests data from a remote server, and the response
contains the requested data.
– Web browsing, e-shopping, and database inquires.
 Difference between conversational and interactive services
– The data traffic in the conversational class is symmetric,
whereas in the interactive class, the traffic is highly
asymmetric.
– Timing requirements are not quite so strict with interactive
services (up to 4 seconds) as they are for conversational
services (a few hundred of ms).
– Interactive services do not tolerate any more transmission
errors than conversational services.
 With the relaxation of delay requirements, the goal of less errors
is easier to achieve with interactive services.
IFA’2004
29
Streaming Services
 Typically includes video and audio applications.
 Differences from interactive services:
– The data transferring is almost totally one-way and
continuous: highly asymmetric.
– There are some strict delay variation requirements for the
data, which are presented to the user, whereas delay
variation is not really a problem with interactive services.
– The requirements for maximum delay could be as long as 10
seconds.
– The only data traffic in the opposite direction ( usually in the
uplink) consists of a few control signals like starting and
stopping.
– The incoming data packets are buffered to smooth delay
variation.
 This class is provided through packet-switched networks.
IFA’2004
30
Background Services
 These services do not have precise delay requirements at all (fax
and SMS).
 However, it may use timers to make sure that the data transfer
has not stalled altogether.
 The data should be error free, but it is especially easy to achieve
in this case. Because there are no time constraints.
 Retransmission protocol will be used, but it must also be
efficient.
 Delay variation is not considered with background services. The
data are presented to the user only after the whole file has been
received correctly.
 The bandwidth requirement is not large in either direction.
IFA’2004
31
RRC Connection Procedures
 The UTRAN separates the concepts of a radio connection from a
radio bearer (RB).
– A radio connection is created first, and then the network can
create one or more RBs independently of the radio connection.
– An RB can also exist without a dedicated radio connection. In
this case, the RB uses the common channels.
 An RRC connection implies that a radio connection exists, but this
connection can use either dedicated or common resources.
– An RRC connection is a logical concept, and radio connection is a
physical concept.
– The physical entity implements and enables the logical concepts.
– A dedicated connection allocates the resource exclusively to one
user, so common channels should be used whenever possible.
IFA’2004
32
RRC Establishment/Release
 RRC connection establishment
– It is always initiated by the UE, even with a mobileterminated call (e.g.,paging).
– The UE initiates this procedure, but the UTRAN controls it. It
may decide that no radio resources can be allocated for the
UE, and respond with an RRC connection reject message.
 Signaling connection establishment
– The RRC connection establishment procedure is used by the
higher layer; that is, by the NAS.
– All higher-layer signaling messages, including the initial
messages are relayed through the radio interface.
 RRC connection release
– The normal procedure is finished through a dedicated channel
(DCH). The PDU here are sent in unacknowledged mode.
IFA’2004
33
Radio Bearer Procedures
 Radio connection and an RB are two separate
concepts in UMTS.
– Radio connection is a static concept. It is established
once, and survives until it is released. There is only one
radio connection per terminal.
– The RB defines what kind of properties this radio
connection has. There may be several RBs on one radio
connection, each having different capabilities for data
transfer. The capabilities are based on the QoS
parameters.
– The RBs are dynamic and can be reconfigured.
IFA’2004
34
Radio Bearer Procedures (2)
– It is possible to have an RB without a
dedicated radio connection
Circuit-switched bearers or bearers using rt services
need dedicated radio channels to meet their strict
delay requirements.
Packet-switched bearers or bearers using nrt services,
often do not need a permanent association to a
dedicated radio resource.
IFA’2004
35
Radio Bearer establishment
Radio Bearer release
 An RB establishment is always initiated by the UTRAN. This
because each RB uses some radio resources, and only the
network knows what kind of resources it can grant to a UE.
 At the RRC level, the signaling is simple: the UTRAN sends a
radio bearer setup message, and the UE responds with a radio
bearer setup complete.
 Interlayer signaling can be quite different depending on the
requested QoS parameter and whether there is already a
suitable physical channel in place.
 When an RB is released, the physical channel can be modified or
released together depending on whether it can be “reused” after
the RB release.
IFA’2004
36
Control of Requested QoS
 The UTRAN air interface is very flexible, which allows
for the dynamic allocation of system resources.
 In the connected mode, the UE may be required to
perform traffic volume measurements in its MAC
layer. If the UE suspects that the present
configuration is not the optimal one, it sends a
measurement report to the network.
 The network can trigger a channel-reconfiguration
procedure.
– Increased data
– Decreased data
