PLMN Selecion
 When a UE is power on
or recovers from lack of
coverage, the UE first
selects the last
registered PLMN and
attempts to register on
the PLMN,if fails,another
PLMN can be
automatically or
manually selected
according to the
information of PLMNs
stored in USIM.
Cell Selection
 P-SCH and S-SCH
 Frequency domain: 6 RBs in central, regardless of the cell bandwidth.
 Time domain: 5ms periodic.
• P-SCH. Primary synchronization signal be mapped to the last OFDM symbol in slot 0 and slot 10.
•S-SCH. Secondary synchronation signal be mapped to the slot before P-SCH.
 504 unique physical-layer cell identitis, grouped into 168 unique PCI groups,each group contains 3 unique
PCIs.
 Secondary synchronization signals in range of 0 to 167, representing the PCI group,and Primary
synchronization signals in range of 0 to 2, representing the PCI Id within the PCI group.
 Detedting the SCH, UE keep downlink synchronization with network, and get the PCI(group id * 3 + PCI id
within PCI group).

System Information Scheduling
MIB:Fixed schedule period of 40ms and repetition made within 40ms,first transmission if scheduled
in subframe 0 of radio frames for which SFN mod 4 = 0,and repetions are scheduled in subframe 0 of
all other radio frames.
SIB1:Fixed schedule period of 80ms and repetition made within 80ms,first transmission is
scheduled in subframe 5 of radio frame for which the SFN mod 8 = 0,and repetions are scheduled in
subframe 5 of all other frames for whtch SFN mod 2 = 0;
SIB:SIBs(2,3…8) are transmitted within SI-Windows using dynamic scheduling from decoding SI-
RNTI on PDCCH. SIBs schedule period can calculated by si-periodicity, all these information are
broadcast in SIB1;
All SIBs using same schedule period can be sent in a SI message, only one SI can be sent in a SI-
window.

System Information Update
 Scenarios of UE read system information:
 Cell selection after UE power on;
 UE reselect to another cell;
 Handover complete;
 Go back to EUTRAN from other RATs;
 Recovers from lack of coverage;
 Scenarios of UE update system information:
 UE receives a paging message including the systeminformationModification;
 3 hours after read system information last time.
 When UE receives a paging message inluding the systeminformation Modification, it knows

the syetem information will change at the next modification period(number of radio frames N =
modificationPeriodCoeff * defaultPagingCycle configed in SIB2) boundary.

Cell Selection and Reselection(1)
 Cell Selection Criterion: Srxlev > 0

 Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas – (Qrxlevmin + Qrxlevminoffset) – Pcompensation
• Qrxlevmeas :The measured RX level in measurement cell, expressed in unit of dBm
• Qrxlevmin :The minimum required RX level(set in eNodeB) in measurement cell, expressed in uinit of
dBm.
• Qrxlevminoffset :The offset to Qrxlevmin,it is taken into account when the UE attempts to camp on a
cell in a high-priority PLMN.
• Pcompensation:Power compensation, generated from the function max(PMax – UE Maximum Output
Power, 0);
•For cell selection,Qrxlevminoffset and Pcompensation are always zero, so S-criterion is simplified as:
•Qrxlevmeas > Qrllevmin(-64 * 2 = -128 dBm);
 Neighbor cell measurement of cell reselection

 For Intra-frequency neighborcell: Only when the parameter SintraSearch is not configured or is configured
and Sservingcell <= Sintrasearch, Intra-frequency measurement is performed;
 For Inter-frequency and Inter-RAT neighborcell with higher reselection priority: The measurement is always
performed;
 For Inter-frequency and Inter-RAT neighborcell with same of lower reslection priority: Only when the
parameter Sonintrasearch is not configured or is configured and Sservingcell <= Snonintrasearch, Inter-
frequency and Inter-RAT neighborcell measurement is performed.

Cell Reselection Criterion:
 Intra-frequency and Equal-Priority Cell Reslection: R-Criterion:
Rs = Qmeas,s + QHyst
Rn = Qmeas,n – CellQoffset
• Qmeas,s: Measured RSRP of the serving cell, expressed in unit of dBm;
• QHyst :Hysteresis for serving cell, expressed in unit of dB;
• Qmeas,n Measured RSRP of the neighboring cell, expressed in unit of dBm;.
• CellQoffset :The offset for the neighboring cell which control the difficulty of reselecion;
New cell is higher than the serving cell during the cell reselection time.
More than 1sencond has elapsed since the UE camped on the serving cell.
 Inter-frequency, Different-Priority and Inter-RAT Cell Reselection:
 Reseleciont to a Higher-Priority cell:
 The Srxlev of neighboring cell is greater than the threshold ThreshXHigh, during the
predefined cell reselection time;
 More than one second has elapsed since the UE camped on the serving cell;
 Reselection to a Low-Priority cell:
 No Inter-frequency or inter-RAT cell with higher priority meets the criterion for reselection to
higher-priority cells.
 The Srxlev value of serving cell is lower than the the threshold specified by ThreshXLow
parameter during the predefined cell reselection time;
 The Srxlev value of neighboring cell is greater than the threshold specified by ThreshXLow
parameter during the predefined cell reselection time;
 More than one second has elapsed since the UE camped on the serving cell;

Inter-RAT cell reselection strategy:

 LTE<-> UMTS bidirectional cell reselection;
 LTE cell has higher cell reselection priority than UMTS;
Start Measurement: Start Inter-RAT measurement when source cell has poor signal
Reselection Decision: Srxlev value of serving cell is lower than ThreshXLow and Srxlev
value of neighboring cell is greater than ThreshXLow
NodeB
eNodeB
• UE camp on LTE cell with higher-priority, UE reselect to UMTS only when LTE cell has
poor coverage.
Start Measurement: Always start Inter-RAT measurement
Reselection Decision: Srxlev value of neighboring cell is greater than ThreshXLow

eNodeB
NodeB
•UE reselect to LTE although UMTS cell has good coverage.

Random
 Purpose of Random Access:

 Get uplink synchronization;
 Get uplink schedule resource;
 Random Access Scenarios:

 Initial RRC connection establishment when UE change from RRC_IDLE mode to
RRC_CONNECTED mode;
 RRC connection reestablishment after radio link failure;
 Handover, UE initiates RA in target cell;
 Downlink data transfer when UE is in uplink synchronozation loss state in
RRC_CONNECTED mode, initiated by eNodeB;
 Uplink data tranfer when UE is in uplink synchronization loss state in
RRC_CONNCTED mode, initiated by UE;
 Two kind of Random Access Procedures:
 Contention-Based RA Procedure;
 Non-Contention-Based RA Procedure(Apply for handover and downlink data tranfer
scenarios);

Preamble and PRACH Configuration Index
 Different Random Access Preamble

format can support different cell radius.

Preamble format examle and Preamble Sequence Generation

 By readin PRACH-
ConfigurationIndex in
SIB2,the UE get the burst
time in each radio frame
and Preamble format.
 Preamble Sequence Generation:

Basic Concept
 "Signalling Radio Bearers" (SRBs) are defined as Radio Bearers (RB) that are used only for the transmission of
RRC and NAS messages.
 SRB0 is for RRC messages using the CCCH logical channel;
 SRB1 is for RRC messages as well as for NAS messages prior to the establishment of SRB2
 SRB2 is for NAS messages, SRB2 has a lower-priority than SRB1 and is always configured by E-UTRAN after
security activation
 DRB: Data Radio Bearer

 Default Bearer: A default bearer will be
established after UE attach,the default
bearer shall be a Non-GBR bearer
 Dedicate Bearer: The bearer except
default bearer is Dedicate bearer,the
dedicated bearer can either be a GBR
or a Non-GBR bearer..

 Related definition of RRCConnectionReestablishmentRequest in 3GPP TS36.331:
 PhysCellId: The PCI of cell the UE was connected to prior to the failure.
 There are three causes for Reestablishment: reconfigurationFailure,
handoverFailure and otherFailure;

RRC Connection Reestablishment Procedure
UE EUTRAN UE EUTRAN
RRCConnectionReestablishmentRequest
RRCConnectionReestablishmentRequest
RRCConnectionReestablishment
RRCConnectionReestablishmentReject
RRCConnectionReestablishmentComplete
 RRC Connection Reestablishment Procedure is consist of five messages:

 RRCConnectionReestablishmentRequest,
RRCConnectionReestablishment,RRCConnectionReestablishmentComplete is
used to restore SRB1;
 The following up RRCConnectionReconfiguration message triggers the
restoration of SRB2/DRB, no matter the contents of the
RRCConnectionReconfiguration.

RRC Connection Reestablishment Cause-reconfigurationFail
 According to 3GPP TS36.331, UE will set reestablishmentCause to the value

reconfigurationFail, if the UE is unable to comply with (part of) the configuration
included in the RRCConnectionReconfiguration message:
 Example: ANR Test In Telenor
 E392 report to support Band7 only in UE Capacity information, two
EutranInterFreq configured in serving cell;
 Fast ANR switch is open;
 eNodeB get a bug not consider the UE Capacity, contains two EutranInterFreq
information in the MeasurementControl message;
 UE send RRC ConnectionReestablishmentRequest to eNodeB immediately after
receive RRCConnectionReconfiguration message, without the
RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message.

RRC Connection Reestablishment-otherFailure
 NeighborCell Missing:
 UE report much Measurement Report message such as Event A3;
 NeighborCell missing, so source cell do not decide to start handover procedure;
 There is no Handover Request message on X2 interface;
 There is no RRCConnectionReconfiguration message including mobilityControlInfo on Uu
interface;
 When UE have moved into the target cell, I will detect RadioLink Failure with source cell;
 UE initiate Cell Selection procedure, and send RRCConnectionReestablishmenRequest to
eNodeB;
 Usually the RRCConnectionReestablishmentRequest message is sent to target cell;
 There is no UE context information in the target cell, eNodeB will reject the
RRCConnectionReestablishment procedure and send RRCConnectionReestablishmentReject to
UE;
 It is one time of call drop;
 In the following up eNodeB software version, RRCConnectionReestablishment will successful
even if there is no ue context information in the target cell;

RRC Connection Reestablishment-otherFailure
 Radio Link Failure:
 Uplink RLC retransmission achieve maximum number:
When eNodeB detect downlink RLC retransmission achieve maximum number for SRB or DRB,
RLC layer of eNodeB will not release UE immediately(delay release,delay time: n * polling timer
+ T310 + T311 + delta) but will lock the RLC entity.
When UE have uplink signalling or data transfer, it will achieve uplink RLC retransmission
maximun number, then L2 layer of UE will report RLC_ERROR_IND to L3 layer, then L3 layer of
UE will initiate the RRCConnectionReestablishment procedure.
 Downlink synchronization loss:
The physical layer of UE will detect downlink spectrum periodicly, it will report a out-of-sync
indication to higher layer, if the RRC layer receives N310 consecutive out-of-sync indications
from lower layers, the RRC layer will initiate the RRCConnectionReestablishment procedure.The
detecting time is 1 * 200 + (6 -1) * 10 = 250ms according to the baseline configuration.
T310 Upon detecting physical Upon receiving N311 consecutive in- If security is not activated: go to
layer problems i.e. upon sync indications from lower layers, RRC_IDLE else: initiate the
receiving N310 consecutive upon triggering the handover connection re-establishment
