The cell reconfiguration procedure is performed to reconfigure a cell in the NodeB. This chapter describes the cell reconfiguration procedure in terms of protocols, triggering conditions, signaling procedure, and signaling tracing on the RNC LMT. 3 Cell Deletion Procedure The cell deletion procedure is performed to delete a cell from the NodeB. This chapter describes the cell deletion procedure in terms of protocols, triggering conditions, signaling procedure, and signaling tracing on the RNC LMT. 4 Location Update Procedure A location update is performed for the UE to report its location to the CN. This chapter describes the location update in terms of protocols, triggering conditions, signaling procedure of successful location update, signaling tracing on the RNC LMT, and elementary procedures. This chapter also describes the elementary procedures in terms of functions, triggering conditions, procedure, and signaling in abnormal conditions. 5 Outgoing Call Procedure The outgoing call procedure is performed for a piece of User Equipment (UE) to call another terminal, such as a Public Switched Telephony Network (PSTN) terminal. This chapter describes outgoing call setup and release in terms of protocols, triggering conditions, signaling procedure of a successful outgoing call, signaling tracing on the RNC LMT, and elementary procedures. This chapter also describes the elementary procedures in terms of functions, triggering conditions, procedure, and signaling in abnormal conditions. 6 Incoming Call Procedure In the incoming call procedure, the network calls a UE and the UE responds to the paging. This chapter describes incoming call setup and release in terms of protocols, triggering conditions, signaling procedure of a successful incoming call, signaling tracing on the RNC LMT, and elementary procedures. This chapter also describes the elementary procedures in terms of functions, triggering conditions, procedure, and signaling in abnormal conditions. 7 Intra-Frequency Handover Procedure The intra-frequency handover procedure is performed to hand over a UE from the WCDMA cell where it camps on to an intra-frequency WCDMA cell. This chapter describes intra-frequency handover in terms of types, protocols, triggering conditions, signaling procedure of successful intra-frequency handover, signaling tracing on the RNC LMT, and elementary procedures. This chapter also describes the elementary procedures in terms of functions, triggering conditions, procedure, and signaling in abnormal conditions. 8 Inter-Frequency Handover Procedure The inter-frequency handover procedure is performed to hand over a UE from the WCDMA cell where it camps on to an inter-frequency WCDMA cell. This chapter describes inter-frequency handover in terms of types, protocols, triggering conditions, signaling procedure of successful inter-frequency handover, signaling tracing on the RNC LMT, and elementary procedures. This chapter also describes the elementary procedures in terms of functions, triggering conditions, procedure, and signaling in abnormal conditions. 9 Inter-RAT Handover Procedure The inter-RAT handover procedure is performed to hand over a UE from a WCDMA cell to a GSM cell or the other way round. This chapter describes inter-RAT handover in terms of types, protocols, triggering conditions, signaling procedure of a successful inter-RAT handover,
