4 General
4.1 Introduction
In this specification, (parts of) procedures and messages specified for the UE equally apply to the RN for functionality
necessary for the RN. There are also (parts of) procedures and messages which are only applicable to the RN in its
communication with the E-UTRAN, in which case the specification denotes the RN instead of the UE. Such
RN-specific aspects are not applicable to the UE.
This specification covers EN-DC i.e. the case in which the UE is configured with resources belonging to a secondary
node using NR RAT. The NR related configuration is performed using NR RRC as specified in TS 38.331 [82].
NB-IoT is a non backward compatible variant of E-UTRAN supporting a reduced set of functionality. In this
specification, (parts of) procedures and messages specified for the UE equally apply to the UE in NB-IoT. There are
also some features and related procedures and messages that are not supported by UEs in NB-IoT.
In particular, the following features are not supported in NB-IoT and corresponding procedures and messages do not
apply to the UE in NB-IoT:
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 33 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
- CSG;
- PDCP duplication;
- GBR (QoS);
- In-device coexistence;
In this specification, there are also (parts of) procedures and messages which are only applicable to UEs in NB-IoT, in
which case this is stated explicitly.
- sub-clause 4.3 specifies the services provided to upper layers as well as the services expected from lower layers;
- clause 6 specifies the RRC message in a mixed format (i.e. tabular & ASN.1 together);
- clause 7 specifies the variables (including protocol timers and constants) and counters to be used by the UE;

4.2 Architecture
4.2.1 UE states and state transitions including inter RAT
A UE is in RRC_CONNECTED when an RRC connection has been established or in RRC_INACTIVE (if the UE is
connected to 5GC) when RRC connection is suspended. If this is not the case, i.e. no RRC connection is established, the
UE is in RRC_IDLE state. The RRC states can further be characterised as follows:
- RRC_IDLE:
- A UE specific DRX may be configured by upper layers (not applicable for NB-IoT);
- UE controlled mobility;
- The UE:
- Monitors a Paging channel to detect incoming calls (by CN paging), system information change, for
ETWS capable UEs, ETWS notification, and for CMAS capable UEs, CMAS notification;
- Performs logging of available measurements together with location and time for logged measurement
configured UEs.
- RRC_INACTIVE:
- The UE:
- Monitors a Paging channel for CN paging using 5G-S-TMSI and RAN paging using I-RNTI;
- Performs RAN-based notification area update when moving out of the configured RAN-based
notification area;
- RRC_CONNECTED:
- For UEs supporting CA, use of one or more SCells, aggregated with the PCell, for increased bandwidth;
- For UEs supporting DC, use of one SCG, aggregated with the MCG, for increased bandwidth;
- For UEs supporting EN-DC, option to configure one NR SCG in conjunction with the MCG for DRBs and
SRBs, for improved performance (SRBs) and increased bandwidth (DRBs);
- Network controlled mobility, i.e. handover and cell change order with optional network assistance (NACC)
to GERAN (not applicable for NB-IoT);
- The UE:
- Monitors a Paging channel and/ or System Information Block Type 1 contents to detect system
information change, for ETWS capable UEs, ETWS notification, and for CMAS capable UEs, CMAS
notification (not applicable for NB-IoT);
- Monitors control channels associated with the shared data channel to determine if data is scheduled for it;
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 35 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
- Provides channel quality and feedback information (not applicable for NB-IoT);
- Performs neighbouring cell measurements and measurement reporting (not applicable for NB-IoT);
The following figure not only provides an overview of the RRC states in E-UTRA, but also illustrates the mobility

The inter-RAT handover procedure(s) supports the case of signalling, conversational services, non-conversational

ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 36 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
In addition to the state transitions shown in Figure 4.2.1-1 and Figure 4.2.1-2, there is support for connection release
with redirection information from E-UTRA RRC_CONNECTED to GERAN, UTRAN and CDMA2000 (HRPD Idle/
1xRTT Dormant mode). A UE in RRC_INACTIVE enters RRC_IDLE when it enters another RAT or switches to
another CN type.
For NB-IoT, mobility between E-UTRA and UTRAN, GERAN and between E-UTRA and CDMA2000 1xRTT and
CDMA2000 HRPD is not supported at AS level and hence only the E-UTRA states depicted in Figure 4.2.1-1 are
applicable.
- SRB1 is for RRC messages (which may include a piggybacked NAS message) as well as for NAS messages
prior to the establishment of SRB2, all using DCCH logical channel;
- For NB-IoT, SRB1bis is for RRC messages (which may include a piggybacked NAS message) as well as for
NAS messages prior to the activation of security, all using DCCH logical channel;
- SRB2 is for RRC messages which include logged measurement information as well as for NAS messages, all
using DCCH logical channel. SRB2 has a lower-priority than SRB1 and is always configured by E-UTRAN after
security activation. SRB2 is not applicable for NB-IoT;
- SRB4 is for RRC messages which include application layer measurement reporting information, all using DCCH
logical channel. SRB4 can only be configured by E-UTRAN after security activation.
In downlink piggybacking of NAS messages is used only for one dependant (i.e. with joint success/ failure) procedure:
bearer establishment/ modification/ release. In uplink NAS message piggybacking is used only for transferring the
initial NAS message during connection setup.
NOTE 1: The NAS messages transferred via SRB2 are also contained in RRC messages, which however do not
include any RRC protocol control information.
Once security is activated, all RRC messages on SRB1, SRB2 and SRB4, including those containing NAS or non-3GPP
messages, are integrity protected and ciphered by PDCP. NAS independently applies integrity protection and ciphering
to the NAS messages.
For a UE configured with DC, all RRC messages, regardless of the SRB used and both in downlink and uplink, are
transferred via the MCG. In case of EN-DC, after connection establishment NR PDCP may be configured for both
SRB1 and SRB2 and if so, these SRBs may be configured as split SRB. For a split SRB, the UE receives RRC
messages via both MCG and NR SCG i.e. handles out of order and duplicate PDUs as specified in TS 38.323 [83]. For
a split SRB, the network configures via the cell group(s) the UE sends uplink RRC messages.
NOTE 2: In case of EN-DC, SRB3 may be configured for the transfer of some NR RRC messages between UE and
SgNB via the NR radio interface, see TS 38.331 [82].
Editor's note: Duplication in UL, for split SRB and DRBs, is FFS and completed in June 2018.
4.3 Services
4.3.1 Services provided to upper layers
The RRC protocol offers the following services to upper layers:
- Notification of UEs in RRC_IDLE and RRC_INACTIVE, e.g. about a terminating call, for ETWS, for CMAS;
- Transfer of dedicated control information, i.e. information for one specific UE.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 37 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
- RLC: reliable and in-sequence transfer of information, without introducing duplicates and with support for
segmentation and concatenation.
Further details about the services provided by Packet Data Convergence Protocol layer (e.g. integrity and ciphering) are
provided in TS 36.323 [8]. The services provided by Radio Link Control layer (e.g. the RLC modes) are specified in TS
36.322 [7]. Further details about the services provided by Medium Access Control layer (e.g. the logical channels) are
provided in TS 36.321 [6]. The services provided by physical layer (e.g. the transport channels) are specified in TS
36.302 [3].
4.4 Functions
The RRC protocol includes the following main functions:

- The data available for transmission in upper layers not submitted to the RRC layer.
5 Procedures
5.1 General
5.1.1 Introduction
The procedural requirements are structured according to the main functional areas: system information (5.2), connection
control (5.3), inter-RAT mobility (5.4) and measurements (5.5). In addition, sub-clause 5.6 covers other aspects e.g.
NAS dedicated information transfer, UE capability transfer, sub-clause 5.7 specifies the generic error handling, sub-
clause 5.8 covers MBMS (i.e. MBMS service reception via MRB), sub-clause 5.8a covers SC-PTM (i.e. MBMS service
reception via SC-MRB), sub-clause 5.9 covers RN-specific procedures and sub-clause 5.10 covers sidelink.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 39 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
For NB-IoT, only a subset of the above procedural requirements applies: system information (5.2), connection control
(5.3), some part of other aspects (5.6), general error handling (5.7), and SC-PTM (5.8a). Subclauses inter-RAT mobility
(5.4), measurements (5.5), MBMS (5.8), RN procedures (5.9) and Sidelink (5.10) are not applicable in NB-IoT.
1> process the received messages in order of reception by RRC, i.e. the processing of a message shall be completed
before starting the processing of a subsequent message;
NOTE 1: E-UTRAN may initiate a subsequent procedure prior to receiving the UE's response of a previously
initiated procedure.
1> within a sub-clause execute the steps according to the order specified in the procedural description;
1> consider the term 'radio bearer' (RB) to cover SRBs and DRBs but not MRBs or SC-MRBs unless explicitly
stated otherwise;
1> set the rrc-TransactionIdentifier in the response message, if included, to the same value as included in the
message received from E-UTRAN that triggered the response message;
2> apply the corresponding received configuration and start using the associated resources, unless explicitly
specified otherwise;
2> clear the corresponding configuration and stop using the associated resources;
NOTE 1a: Following receipt of choice value set to release, the UE considers the field as if it was never configured.
2> apply the Conditions in the ASN.1 for inclusion of the fields for the DRB/PDCP/RLC setup during the
reconfiguration of the DRBs included in the drb-ToAddModList;
NOTE 2: At each point in time, the UE keeps a single value for each field except for during handover when the UE
temporarily stores the previous configuration so it can revert back upon handover failure. In other words:
when the UE reconfigures a field, the existing value is released except for during handover.
NOTE 3: Although not explicitly stated, the UE initially considers all functionality to be deactivated/ released until
it is explicitly stated that the functionality is setup/ activated. Correspondingly, the UE initially considers
lists to be empty e.g. the list of radio bearers, the list of measurements.
1> upon receiving an extension field comprising the entries in addition to the ones carried by the original field
(regardless of whether E-UTRAN may signal more entries in total); apply the following generic behaviour if
explicitly stated to be applicable:
2> create a combined list by concatenating the additional entries included in the extension field to the original
field while maintaining the order among both the original and the additional entries;

NOTE 4: A field comprising a list of entries normally includes 'list' in the field name. The typical way to extend

NOTE 5: In this specification, UE configuration refers to the parameters configured by E-UTRA RRC unless stated
otherwise.
The Bandwidth reduced Low Complexity (BL) UEs and UEs in Coverage Enhancement (CE) apply Bandwidth
Reduced (BR) version of the SIB, posSIB or SI messages. A UE considers itself in enhanced coverage as specified in
TS 36.304 [4]. In this and subsequent clauses, anything applicable for a particular SIB, posSIB or SI message equally
applies to the corresponding BR version unless explicitly stated otherwise.
For NB-IoT, a reduced set of system information block with similar functionality but different content is defined; the
UE applies the NB-IoT (NB) version of the MIB and the SIBs. These are denoted MasterInformationBlock-NB,
MasterInformationBlock-TDD-NB and SystemInformationBlockTypeX-NB in this specification. All other system
information blocks (without NB suffix) are not applicable to NB-IoT; this is not further stated in the corresponding text.
NOTE 1: The physical layer imposes a limit to the maximum size a SIB can take. When DCI format 1C is used the
maximum allowed by the physical layer is 1736 bits (217 bytes) while for format 1A the limit is 2216 bits
(277 bytes), see TS 36.212 [22] and TS 36.213 [23]. For BL UEs and UEs in CE, the maximum SIB and
SI message size is 936 bits, see TS 36.213 [23]. For NB-IoT, the maximum SIB and SI message size is
680 bits, see TS 36.213 [23].
The UE applies the system information acquisition and change monitoring procedures for the PCell, except when being
a BL UE or a UE in CE or a NB-IoT UE in RRC_CONNECTED mode while T311 is not running. For an SCell, E-
UTRAN provides, via dedicated signalling, all system information relevant for operation in RRC_CONNECTED when
adding the SCell. However, a UE that is configured with DC shall aquire the MasterInformationBlock of the PSCell but
use it only to determine the SFN timing of the SCG, which may be different from the MCG. Upon change of the
relevant system information of a configured SCell, E-UTRAN releases and subsequently adds the concerned SCell,
which may be done with a single RRCConnectionReconfiguration message. If the UE is receiving or interested to
receive an MBMS service in a cell, the UE shall apply the system information acquisition and change monitoring
procedure to acquire parameters relevant for MBMS operation and apply the parameters acquired from system
information only for MBMS operation for this cell.
NOTE 2: E-UTRAN may configure via dedicated signalling different parameter values than the ones broadcast in
the concerned SCell.
In MBMS-dedicated cell, non-MBSFN subframes are used for providing MasterInformationBlock-MBMS (MIB-
MBMS) and SystemInformationBlockType1-MBMS. SIBs other than SystemInformationBlockType1-MBMS are carried
in SystemInformation-MBMS message which is also provided on non-MBSFN subframes.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 41 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
An RN configured with an RN subframe configuration does not need to apply the system information acquisition and
change monitoring procedures. Upon change of any system information relevant to an RN, E-UTRAN provides the
system information blocks containing the relevant system information to an RN configured with an RN subframe
configuration via dedicated signalling using the RNReconfiguration message. For RNs configured with an RN subframe
configuration, the system information contained in this dedicated signalling replaces any corresponding stored system
information and takes precedence over any corresponding system information acquired through the system information
acquisition procedure. The dedicated system information remains valid until overridden.
NOTE 3: E-UTRAN may configure an RN, via dedicated signalling, with different parameter values than the ones
broadcast in the concerned cell.
5.2.1.2 Scheduling
The MIB uses a fixed schedule with a periodicity of 40 ms and repetitions made within 40 ms. The first transmission of
the MIB is scheduled in subframe #0 of radio frames for which the SFN mod 4 = 0, and repetitions are scheduled in
subframe #0 of all other radio frames. For TDD/FDD system with a bandwidth larger than 1.4 MHz that supports BL
UEs or UEs in CE, MIB transmission may additionally be repeated in subframe#0 of the same radio frame, and in
subframe#9 of the previous radio frame for FDD and subframe #5 of the same radio frame for TDD.
NOTE: The UE may assume the scheduling of MIB repetitions does not change. E-UTRAN may indicate in
MobilityControlInfo whether optional MIB repetitions are enabled or not.
The MIB-MBMS uses a fixed schedule with a periodicity of 160 ms and repetitions made within 160 ms. The first
transmission of the MIB-MBMS is scheduled in subframe #0 of radio frames for which the SFN mod 16 = 0, and
repetitions are scheduled in subframe #0 of all other radio frames for which the SFN mod 4 = 0.
The SystemInformationBlockType1 uses a fixed schedule with a periodicity of 80 ms and repetitions made within 80 ms.
The first transmission of SystemInformationBlockType1 is scheduled in subframe #5 of radio frames for which the SFN
mod 8 = 0, and repetitions are scheduled in subframe #5 of all other radio frames for which SFN mod 2 = 0.
For BL UEs or UEs in CE, MIB is applied which may be provided with additional repetitions, while for SIB1 and
further SI messages, separate messages are used which are scheduled independently and with content that may differ.
The separate instance of SIB1 is named as SystemInformationBlockType1-BR. The SystemInformationBlockType1-BR
uses a schedule with a periodicity of 80ms. TBS for SystemInformationBlockType1-BR and the repetitions made within
80ms are indicated via schedulingInfoSIB1-BR in MIB or optionally in the RRCConnectionReconfiguration message
including the MobilityControlInfo.
The SystemInformationBlockType1-MBMS uses fixed schedule with a periodicity of 160 ms. The first transmission of
SystemInformationBlockType1-MBMS is scheduled in subframe #0 of radio frames for which the SFN mod 16 = 0, and
repetitions are scheduled in subframe #0 of all other radio frames for which SFN mod 8 = 0. Additionally, the
SystemInformationBlockType1-MBMS and other system informations blocks may be scheduled in additional non-
MBSFN subframes indicated in MasterInformationBlock-MBMS.
The SI messages are transmitted within periodically occurring time domain windows (referred to as SI-windows) using
dynamic scheduling. Each SI message is associated with a SI-window and the SI-windows of different SI messages do
not overlap. That is, within one SI-window only the corresponding SI is transmitted. The length of the SI-window is
common for all SI messages, and is configurable. Within the SI-window, the corresponding SI message can be
transmitted a number of times in any subframe other than MBSFN subframes, uplink subframes in TDD, and subframe
#5 of radio frames for which SFN mod 2 = 0. The UE acquires the detailed time-domain scheduling (and other
information, e.g. frequency-domain scheduling, used transport format) from decoding SI-RNTI on PDCCH (see TS
36.321 [6]). For a BL UE or a UE in CE, the detailed time/frequency domain scheduling information for the SI
messages is provided in SystemInformationBlockType1-BR.
For UEs other than BL UE or UEs in CE SI-RNTI is used to address SystemInformationBlockType1 as well as all SI
messages. On MBMS-dedicated cell and on FeMBMS/Unicast-mixed cell, SI-RNTI with value in accordance with TS
36.321 [6] is used to address all SI messages whereas SI-RNTI with value in accordance with TS 36.321 [6] is used to
address SystemInformationBlockType1-MBMS.
SystemInformationBlockType1 configures the SI-window length and the transmission periodicity for the SI messages.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 42 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
mod 64 = 0 and repetitions are scheduled in subframe #0 of all other radio frames. The transmissions are arranged in 8
independently decodable blocks of 80 ms duration.
The MasterInformationBlock-TDD-NB (MIB-TDD-NB) uses a fixed schedule with a periodicity of 640 ms and
repetitions made within 640 ms. The first transmission of the MIB-TDD-NB is scheduled in subframe #9 of radio
frames for which the SFN mod 64 = 0 and repetitions are scheduled in subframe #9 of all other radio frames. The
transmissions are arranged in 8 independently decodable blocks of 80 ms duration.
The SystemInformationBlockType1-NB (SIB1-NB) uses a fixed schedule with a periodicity of 2560 ms.
For FDD, SIB1-NB transmission occurs in subframe #4 of every other frame in 16 continuous frames. The starting
frame for the first transmission of the SIB1-NB is derived from the cell PCID and the number of repetitions within the
2560 ms period and repetitions are made, equally spaced, within the 2560 ms period (see TS 36.213 [23]). TBS for
SystemInformationBlockType1-NB and the repetitions made within the 2560 ms are indicated by schedulingInfoSIB1
field in the MIB-NB. If additionalTransmissionSIB1 is set to TRUE in the MIB-NB, additional SIB1-NB transmission
occurs in subframe #3 of the same radio frames where SIB1-NB transmission occurs with the same number of
repetitions.
For TDD, SIB1-NB transmission on the anchor carrier occurs in either subframe #0 or subframe #4 of every other
frame in 16 continuous frames and SIB1-NB transmission on a non-anchor carrier occurs in subframe #0 and next in
subframe #5 of every other frame in 16 continuous frames. The starting frame for the first transmission of the SIB1-NB
is derived from the cell PCID and the number of repetitions within the 2560 ms period and repetitions are made, equally
spaced, within the 2560 ms period (see TS 36.213 [23]). TBS for SystemInformationBlockType1-NB, the repetitions
made within the 2560 ms, and the subframe index (#0 or #4) are indicated by schedulingInfoSIB1 field in the MIB-
TDD-NB.
The SI messages are transmitted within periodically occurring time domain windows (referred to as SI-windows) using
scheduling information provided in SystemInformationBlockType1-NB. Each SI message is associated with a SI-
window and the SI-windows of different SI messages do not overlap. That is, within one SI-window only the
corresponding SI is transmitted. The length of the SI-window is common for all SI messages, and is configurable.
Within the SI-window, the corresponding SI message can be transmitted a number of times over 2 or 8 consecutive NB-
IoT downlink subframes depending on TBS.The UE acquires the detailed time/frequency domain scheduling
information and other information, e.g. used transport format for the SI messages from schedulingInfoList field in
SystemInformationBlockType1-NB. The UE is not required to accumulate several SI messages in parallel but may need
to accumulate a SI message across multiple SI windows, depending on coverage condition.
SystemInformationBlockType1-NB configures the SI-window length and the transmission periodicity for all SI
messages.
To enable system information update notification for RRC_IDLE UEs configured to use a DRX cycle longer than the
modification period, an eDRX acquisition period is defined. The boundaries of the eDRX acquisition period are
determined by H-SFN values for which H-SFN mod 256 =0. For NB-IoT, the boundaries of the eDRX acquisition
period are determined by H-SFN values for which H-SFN mod 1024 =0.
NOTE 1: If the UE in RRC_IDLE is configured to use extended DRX cycle, e.g., in the order of several minutes or
longer, in case the eNB is reset the UE SFN may not be synchronized to the new eNB SFN. The UE is
expected to recover, e.g., acquire MIB within a reasonable time, to avoid repeated paging failures.
When the network changes (some of the) system information, it first notifies the UEs about this change, i.e. this may be
done throughout a modification period. In the next modification period, the network transmits the updated system
information. These general principles are illustrated in figure 5.2.1.3-1, in which different colours indicate different
system information. Upon receiving a change notification, the UE not configured to use a DRX cycle that is longer than
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 43 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
the modification period acquires the new system information immediately from the start of the next modification period.
Upon receiving a change notification applicable to eDRX, a UE in RRC_IDLE configured to use a DRX cycle that is
longer than the modification period acquires the updated system information immediately from the start of the next
eDRX acquisition period. The UE applies the previously acquired system information until the UE acquires the new
system information. The possible boundaries of modification for SystemInformationBlockType1-BR are defined by SFN
values for which SFN mod 512 = 0 except for notification of ETWS/CMAS for which the eNB may change
SystemInformationBlockType1-BR content at any time. For NB-IoT, the possible boundaries of modification for
SystemInformationBlockType1-NB are defined by SFN values for which (H-SFN * 1024 + SFN) mod 4096 = 0.
The Paging message is used to inform UEs in RRC_IDLE and UEs in RRC_CONNECTED about a system information
change. If the UE is in RRC_CONNECTED or is not configured to use a DRX cycle longer than the modification
period in RRC_IDLE, and receives a Paging message including the systemInfoModification, it knows that the system
information will change at the next modification period boundary. A UE in RRC_IDLE that is configured to use a DRX
cycle longer than the modification period, and receives in an eDRX acquisition period at least one Paging message
including the systemInfoModification-eDRX, shall acquire the updated system information at the next eDRX acquisition
period boundary. Although the UE may be informed about changes in system information, no further details are
provided e.g. regarding which system information will change, except if systemInfoValueTagSI is received by BL UEs
or UEs in CE.
In RRC_CONNECTED, BL UEs or UEs in CE or NB-IoT UEs are not required to acquire system information except
when T311 is running or upon handover where the UE is only required to acquire the MasterInformationBlock in the
target PCell. In RRC_IDLE, E-UTRAN may notify BL UEs or UEs in CE or NB-IoT UEs about SI update, and except
for NB-IoT, ETWS and CMAS notification and EAB modification, using Direct Indication information, as specified in
6.6 (or 6.7.5 in NB-IoT) and TS 36.212 [22].
NOTE 2: Upon system information change essential for BL UEs, UEs in CE, or NB-IoT UEs in
RRC_CONNECTED, E-UTRAN may initiate connection release.
For BL UEs or UEs in CE or NB-IoT UEs, the change of specific SI message can additionally be indicated by a SI
message specific value tag systemInfoValueTagSI. If systemInfoValueTag included in the
SystemInformationBlockType1-BR (or MasterInformationBlock-NB/ MasterInformationBlock-TDD-NB in NB-IoT) is
different from the one of the stored system information and if systemInfoValueTagSI is included in the
SystemInformationBlockType1-BR (or SystemInformationBlockType1-NB in NB-IoT) for a specific SI message and is
different from the stored one, the UE shall consider this specific SI message to be invalid. If only systemInfoValueTag is
included and is different from the stored one, the BL UE or UE in CE should consider any stored system information
except SystemInformationBlockType10, SystemInformationBlockType11, SystemInformationBlockType12 and
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 44 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
SystemInformationBlockType14 to be invalid; the NB-IoT UE should consider any stored system information except
SystemInformationBlockType14-NB to be invalid.
On MBMS-dedicated cell and on FeMBMS/Unicast-mixed cell, the change of system information and ETWS/CMAS
notification is indicated by using Direct Indication FeMBMS defined in 6.6a. The modification periodicity follows
MCCH modification periodicity as defined in 5.8.1.3.
E-UTRAN may not update systemInfoValueTag upon change of some system information e.g. ETWS information,
CMAS information, regularly changing parameters like time information (SystemInformationBlockType8,
SystemInformationBlockType16, hyperSFN-MSB in SystemInformationBlockType1-NB), EAB and AB parameters, or
positioning system information blocks. Similarly, E-UTRAN may not include the systemInfoModification within the
Paging message upon change of some system information.
The UE that is not configured to use a DRX cycle longer than the modification period verifies that stored system
information remains valid by either checking systemInfoValueTag in SystemInformationBlockType1 (or
MasterInformationBlock-NB/ MasterInformationBlock-TDD-NB in NB-IoT) after the modification period boundary, or
attempting to find the systemInfoModification indication at least modificationPeriodCoeff times during the modification
period in case no paging is received, in every modification period. If no paging message is received by the UE during a
modification period, the UE may assume that no change of system information will occur at the next modification
period boundary. If UE in RRC_CONNECTED, during a modification period, receives one paging message, it may
deduce from the presence/ absence of systemInfoModification whether a change of system information other than
ETWS information, CMAS information and EAB parameters will occur in the next modification period or not.
When the RRC_IDLE UE is configured with a DRX cycle that is longer than the modification period, and at least one
modification period boundary has passed since the UE last verified validity of stored system information, the UE
verifies that stored system information remains valid by checking the systemInfoValueTag before establishing or
resuming an RRC connection.
ETWS and/or CMAS capable UEs in RRC_CONNECTED, other than BL UEs and UEs in CE, shall attempt to read
paging at least once every defaultPagingCycle to check whether ETWS and/or CMAS notification is present or not.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 45 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
CMAS notification is contained in SystemInformationBlockType12. Segmentation can be applied for the delivery of a
CMAS notification. The segmentation is fixed for transmission of a given CMAS notification within a cell (i.e. the
same segment size for a given segment with the same messageIdentifier, serialNumber and
warningMessageSegmentNumber). E-UTRAN does not interleave transmissions of CMAS notifications, i.e. all
segments of a given CMAS notification transmission are transmitted prior to those of another CMAS notification. A
CMAS notification corresponds to a single CB data IE as defined according to TS 23.041 [37].
5.2.1.6 Notification of EAB parameters change
Change of EAB parameters can occur at any point in time. The EAB parameters are contained in
SystemInformationBlockType14. The Paging message is used to inform EAB capable UEs in RRC_IDLE about a
change of EAB parameters or that SystemInformationBlockType14 is no longer scheduled. If the UE receives a Paging
message including the eab-ParamModification, it shall acquire SystemInformationBlockType14 according to
schedulingInfoList contained in SystemInformationBlockType1. If the UE receives a Paging message including the eab-
ParamModification while it is acquiring SystemInformationBlockType14, the UE shall continue acquiring
SystemInformationBlockType14 based on the previously acquired schedulingInfoList until it re-acquires
schedulingInfoList in SystemInformationBlockType1.
NOTE: The EAB capable UE is not expected to periodically check schedulingInfoList contained in
SystemInformationBlockType1.
MasterInformationBlock
SystemInformationBlockType1
SystemInformation
The UE applies the system information acquisition procedure to acquire the AS- and NAS- and positioning-system
information that is broadcasted by the E-UTRAN. The procedure applies to UEs in RRC_IDLE and UEs in
RRC_CONNECTED.
For BL UE, UE in CE and NB-IoT UE, specific conditions apply, as specified below.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 46 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
5.2.2.2 Initiation
The UE shall apply the system information acquisition procedure upon selecting (e.g. upon power on) and upon re-
selecting a cell, after handover completion, after entering E-UTRA from another RAT, upon return from out of
coverage, upon receiving a notification that the system information has changed, upon receiving an indication about the
presence of an ETWS notification, upon receiving an indication about the presence of a CMAS notification, upon
receiving a notification that the EAB parameters have changed, upon receiving a request from CDMA2000 upper
layers, upon receiving a request from positioning upper layers and upon exceeding the maximum validity duration.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the procedural specification, the system information acquisition procedure
overwrites any stored system information, i.e. delta configuration is not applicable for system information and the UE
discontinues using a field if it is absent in system information unless explicitly specified otherwise.
In RRC_CONNECTED, BL UEs and UEs in CE are required to acquire system information when T311 is running or
upon handover where the UE is only required to acquire the MasterInformationBlock in the target PCell.
NOTE: Upon handover, E-UTRAN provides system information required by the UE in RRC_CONNECTED
except MIB with RRC signalling, i.e. systemInformationBlockType1Dedicated and mobilityControlInfo.

until all SI messages have been received. The UE may delay applying the received SIBs until completing lower layer
procedures associated with a received or a UE originated RRC message, e.g. an ongoing random access procedure.
NOTE 6: While attempting to acquire a particular SIB/posSIB, if the UE detects from schedulingInfoList/
posSchedulingInfoList that it is no longer present, the UE should stop trying to acquire the particular SIB/
posSIB.

connection. During this initial phase of the RRC connection, the E-UTRAN may configure the UE to perform
measurement reporting, but the UE only sends the corresponding measurement reports after successful security
activation. However, the UE only accepts a handover message when security has been activated.
NOTE 1: In case the serving frequency broadcasts multiple overlapping bands, E-UTRAN can only configure
measurements after having obtained the UE capabilities, as the measurement configuration needs to be set
according to the band selected by the UE.
Upon receiving the UE context from the EPC, E-UTRAN activates security (both ciphering and integrity protection)
using the initial security activation procedure. The RRC messages to activate security (command and successful
response) are integrity protected, while ciphering is started only after completion of the procedure. That is, the response
to the message used to activate security is not ciphered, while the subsequent messages (e.g. used to establish SRB2 and
DRBs) are both integrity protected and ciphered.
After having initiated the initial security activation procedure, E-UTRAN initiates the establishment of SRB2 and
DRBs, i.e. E-UTRAN may do this prior to receiving the confirmation of the initial security activation from the UE. In
any case, E-UTRAN will apply both ciphering and integrity protection for the RRC connection reconfiguration
messages used to establish SRB2 and DRBs. E-UTRAN should release the RRC connection if the initial security
activation and/ or the radio bearer establishment fails (i.e. security activation and DRB establishment are triggered by a
joint S1-procedure, which does not support partial success).
For SRB2 and DRBs, security is always activated from the start, i.e. the E-UTRAN does not establish these bearers
prior to activating security.
For some radio configuration fields, a critical extension has been defined. A switch from the original version of the field
to the critically extended version is allowed using any connection reconfiguration. The UE reverts to the original
version of some critically extended fields upon handover and re-establishment as specified elsewhere in this
specification. Otherwise, switching a field from the critically extended version to the original version is only possible
using the handover or re-establishment procedure with the full configuration option. This also applies for fields that are
critically extended within a release (i.e. original and extended version defined in same release).
After having initiated the initial security activation procedure, E-UTRAN may configure a UE that supports CA, with
one or more SCells in addition to the PCell that was initially configured during connection establishment. The PCell is
used to provide the security inputs and upper layer system information (i.e. the NAS mobility information e.g. TAI).
SCells are used to provide additional downlink and optionally uplink radio resources. When not configured with any
kind of DC, all SCells the UE is configured with, if any, are part of the MCG.
When configured with DC, some of the SCells are part of a SCG. In this case, user data carried by a DRB may either be
transferred via MCG (i.e. MCG-DRB), via SCG (SCG-DRB) or via both MCG and SCG in DL while E-UTRAN
configures the CG used in UL (split DRB). An RRC connection reconfiguration message may be used to change the
DRB type from MCG-DRB to SCG-DRB or to split DRB, as well as from SCG-DRB or split DRB to MCG-DRB.
DC employs SCG change, which is a synchronous SCG reconfiguration procedure (i.e. involving RA to the PSCell)
including reset/ re-establishment of layer 2 and, if SCG DRBs are configured, refresh of security. The procedure is used
in a number of different scenarios e.g. SCG establishment, PSCell change, Key refresh, change of DRB type. The UE
performs the SCG change related actions upon receiving an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message including
mobilityControlInfoSCG, see 5.3.10.10.
In case of EN-DC, the SCG cells use another RAT, namely NR. The configuration of an NR SCG, as used in case of
EN-DC, is specified in TS 38.331 [82]. When configured with EN-DC, user data carried by a DRB may either be
transferred via MCG, via NR SCG or via both MCG and NR SCG. Also RRC signalling carried by a SRB may either be
transferred via MCG or via both MCG and NR SCG. When DRBs and SRBs are configured with transmission via both
MCG and SCG, duplication may be used in both DL and UL.
Change to NR PDCP or vice versa, for both SRBs and DRBs, can be performed using an
RRCConnectionReconfiguration message including the mobilityControlInfo (handover) by release and addition of the
concerned RB (for DRBs) or of the concerned PDCP entity (for SRBs). The same RRCConnectionReconfiguration
message may be used to make changes regarding the CG(s) used for transmission. For SRBs, change from E-UTRA
PDCP to NR PDCP type may, before initial security activation, also be performed using an
RRCConnectionReconfiguration message not including the mobilityControlInfo.

3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 65 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
- Reconfiguration with sync and key change i.e. a procedure involving RA to the PSCell, including NR MAC
reset, re-establishment of NR RLC and NR PDCP and refresh of NR SCG security; and
- Reconfiguration with sync but without key change i.e. a procedure involving RA to the PSCell, including NR
MAC reset and NR RLC re-establishment and PDCP data recovery (for AM DRB); and
- Regular NR SCG reconfiguration neither involving refresh of NR SCG security, nor RA to the PSCell, NR MAC
reset or NR RLC re-establishment;
The network is only required to use the NR SCG reconfiguration with sync and key change in case the NR SCG
security key changes (i.e. handover, change of SNs, S-KgNB refresh). Further details are specified in NR RRC TS
38.331 [82].
NOTE 2: In case of EN-DC, E-UTRA RRC configuration parameters should only affect E-UTRA operation. E.g.,
s-Measure only affects measurements configured by parameters defined in this specification. Should an
E-UTRA RRC configuration change require a change of NR RRC configuration, the network should
indicate such NR change by NR RRC signalling. E.g. a specific indication is used to trigger RLC re-
establishment upon reconfigurations changing the CG(s) used for transmission (in DL or UL) that
otherwise would only involve NR RRC signalling.
In this release of the specification, change between DC and EN-DC is not supported (i.e. neither the direct
reconfiguration nor specific measurement events). Likewise, the direct transition between EN-DC and NR DC is not
supported in this release of the specification.
The release of the RRC connection normally is initiated by E-UTRAN. The procedure may be used to re-direct the UE
to an E-UTRA frequency or an inter-RAT carrier frequency. Only in exceptional cases, as specified within this
specification, TS 36.300 [9], TS 36.304 [4] or TS 24.301 [35], may the UE abort the RRC connection, i.e. move to
RRC_IDLE without notifying E-UTRAN.
The suspension of the RRC connection is initiated by E-UTRAN. When the RRC connection is suspended, the UE
stores the UE AS context and the resumeIdentity, and transitions to RRC_IDLE state. The RRC message to suspend the
RRC connection is integrity protected and ciphered. Suspension can only be performed when at least 1 DRB is
successfully established.
The resumption of a suspended RRC connection is initiated by upper layers when the UE has a stored UE AS context,
RRC connection resume is permitted by E-UTRAN and the UE needs to transit from RRC_IDLE state to
RRC_CONNECTED state. When the RRC connection is resumed, RRC configures the UE according to the RRC
connection resume procedure based on the stored UE AS context and any RRC configuration received from E-UTRAN.
The RRC connection resume procedure re-activates security and re-establishes SRB(s) and DRB(s). The request to
resume the RRC connection includes the resumeIdentity. The request is not ciphered, but protected with a message
authentication code.
In response to a request to resume the RRC connection, E-UTRAN may resume the suspended RRC connection, reject
the request to resume and instruct the UE to either keep or discard the stored context, or setup a new RRC connection.
In case of CP-EDT, the data are appended in the RRCEarlyDataRequest and RRCEarlyDataComplete messages, if
available, and sent over SRB0. In case of UP-EDT, security is re-activated prior to transmission of RRC message using
the nextHopChainingCount provided in the RRCConnectionRelease message with suspend indication during the
preceding suspend procedure and the radio bearers are re-established. The uplink data are transmitted ciphered on
DTCH multiplexed with the RRCConnectionResumeRequest message on CCCH. In the downlink, the data, if available,
are transmitted on DTCH multiplexed with the RRCConnectionRelease message on DCCH. In response to a request for
EDT, E-UTRAN may also choose to establish or resume the RRC connection.
A UE in RRC_CONNECTED enters RRC_INACTIVE when the network indicates RRC connection suspension in
RRCConnectionRelease message. When entering RRC_INACTIVE, the UE stores the UE AS context and any RRC
configuration received from the network.
The resumption of an RRC connection from RRC_INACTIVE is initiated by upper layers when the UE needs to transit
from RRC_INACTIVE state to RRC_CONNECTED state or by RRC layer for, e.g. RNAU or reception of RAN
paging. When the RRC connection is resumed, network configures the UE according to the RRC connection resume
procedure based on the stored UE AS context and any RRC configuration received from the network. The RRC
connection resume procedure re-activates security and re-establishes SRB(s) and DRB(s).
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 66 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
In response to a request to resume the RRC connection from RRC_INACTIVE, the network may resume the suspended
RRC connection and UE enters to RRC_CONNECTED, or reject the request to resume using RRC message without
security protection and send UE to RRC_INACTIVE with wait time, or directly re-suspend the RRC connection and
send UE to RRC_INACTIVE, or directly release the RRC connection and send UE to RRC_IDLE, or instruct the UE to
discard the stored context and initiate NAS level recovery.
5.3.1.2 Security
AS security comprises of the integrity protection of RRC signalling (SRBs) as well as the ciphering of RRC signalling
(SRBs) and user data (DRBs).
RRC handles the configuration of the security parameters which are part of the AS configuration: the integrity
protection algorithm, the ciphering algorithm and two parameters, namely the keyChangeIndicator and the
nextHopChainingCount, which are used by the UE to determine the AS security keys upon handover, connection re-
establishment and/ or connection resume.
The integrity protection algorithm is common for signalling radio bearers SRB1, SRB2 and SRB4. When configured
with MCG only, the ciphering algorithm is common for all radio bearers (i.e. SRB1, SRB2, SRB4 and DRBs). Neither
integrity protection nor ciphering applies for SRB0.
RRC integrity and ciphering are always activated together, i.e. in one message/ procedure. RRC integrity and ciphering
are never de-activated. However, it is possible to switch to a 'NULL' ciphering algorithm (eea0).
The 'NULL' integrity protection algorithm (eia0) is used only for the UE in limited service mode [32, TS33.401]. In
case the 'NULL' integrity protection algorithm is used, 'NULL' ciphering algorithm is also used.
NOTE 1: Lower layers discard RRC messages for which the integrity check has failed and indicate the integrity
verification check failure to RRC.
The AS applies three different security keys: one for the integrity protection of RRC signalling (KRRCint), one for the
ciphering of RRC signalling (KRRCenc) and one for the ciphering of user data (KUPenc). All three AS keys are derived
from the KeNB key. The KeNB is based on the KASME key for E-UTRA connected to EPC, or KAMF for E-UTRA connected
to 5GC, which is handled by upper layers.
Upon connection establishment new AS keys are derived. No AS-parameters are exchanged to serve as inputs for the
derivation of the new AS keys at connection establishment.
The integrity and ciphering of the RRC message used to perform handover is based on the security configuration used
prior to the handover and is performed by the source eNB.
The integrity and ciphering algorithms can only be changed upon handover. The four AS keys (KeNB, KRRCint, KRRCenc
and KUPenc) change upon every handover, connection re-establishment and connection resume. The keyChangeIndicator
is used upon handover and indicates whether the UE should use the keys associated with the KASME key for E-UTRA
connected to EPC, or KAMF for E-UTRA connected to 5GC, taken into use with the latest successful NAS SMC
procedure. The nextHopChainingCount parameter is used upon handover, connection re-establishment and connection
resume by the UE when deriving the new KeNB that is used to generate KRRCint, KRRCenc and KUPenc (see TS 33.401 [32]).
An intra cell handover procedure may be used to change the keys in RRC_CONNECTED.
For each radio bearer an independent counter (COUNT, as specified in TS 36.323 [8] for E-UTRA connected to EPC,
and TS 38.323 [83] for E-UTRA connected to 5GC) is maintained for each direction. For each DRB, the COUNT is
used as input for ciphering. For each SRB, the COUNT is used as input for both ciphering and integrity protection. It is
not allowed to use the same COUNT value more than once for a given security key. At connection resume the COUNT
is reset. In order to limit the signalling overhead, individual messages/ packets include a short sequence number (PDCP
SN, as specified in TS 36.323 [8] for E-UTRA connected to EPC, and TS 38.323 [83] for E-UTRA connected to 5GC).
In addition, an overflow counter mechanism is used: the hyper frame number (TX_HFN and RX_HFN, as specified in
TS 36.323 [8] for E-UTRA connected to EPC, and TS 38.323 [83] for E-UTRA connected to 5GC). The HFN needs to
be synchronized between the UE and the eNB. The eNB is responsible for avoiding reuse of the COUNT with the same
RB identity and with the same KeNB, e.g. due to the transfer of large volumes of data, release and establishment of new
RBs. In order to avoid such re-use, the eNB may e.g. use different RB identities for successive RB establishments,
trigger an intra cell handover or by triggering a transition from RRC_CONNECTED to RRC_IDLE or
RRC_INACTIVE and then back to RRC_CONNECTED.
For each SRB, the value provided by RRC to lower layers to derive the 5-bit BEARER parameter used as input for
ciphering and for integrity protection is the value of the corresponding srb-Identity with the MSBs padded with zeroes.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 67 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
In case of DC, a separate KeNB is used for SCG-DRBs (S-KeNB). This key is derived from the key used for the MCG
(KeNB) and an SCG counter that is used to ensure freshness. To refresh the S-KeNB e.g. when the COUNT will wrap
around, E-UTRAN employs an SCG change, i.e. an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message including
mobilityControlInfoSCG. When performing handover, while at least one SCG-DRB remains configured, both KeNB and
S-KeNB are refreshed. In such case E-UTRAN performs handover with SCG change i.e. an
RRCConnectionReconfiguration message including both mobilityControlInfo and mobilityControlInfoSCG. The
ciphering algorithm is common for all radio bearers within a CG but may be different between MCG and SCG. The
ciphering algorithm for SCG DRBs can only be changed upon SCG change.
In case of EN-DC, the network indicates whether the UE shall use either KeNB or S-KgNB for a particular DRB. S-KgNB is
derived in the same way as S-KeNB as defined in 33.501[86], uses a different counter (sk-Counter) and is used only for
DRBs using NR PDCP. Whenever there is a need to refresh S-KgNB, e.g. upon change of MN or SN, the NR SCG
reconfiguration with sync and key change is used (see 5.3.1.1). E-UTRAN provides a UE configured with EN-DC with
an sk-Counter even when no DRB is setup using S-KgNB i.e. to facilitate configuration of SRB3. The same ciphering
algorithm is used for all radio bearers using the same key (i.e. KeNB or S-KgNB). Likewise, the same integrity algorithm
is used for all SRBs using the same key. Although NR RRC uses different values for the security algorithms than E-
UTRA, the actual algorithms are the same in case of EN-DC in this version of the specification. Hence, for such
algorithms, the security capabilities supported by a UE are consistent across these RATs.
NOTE 2: The network ensures that different values are used for the SCG counter and for the sk-Counter when
deriving S-KgNB and/or S-KeNB from the same KeNB.
5.3.1.2a RN security
For RNs, AS security follows the procedures in 5.3.1.2. Furthermore, E-UTRAN may configure per DRB whether or
not integrity protection is used. The use of integrity protection may be configured only upon DRB establishment and
reconfigured only upon handover or upon the first reconfiguration following RRC connection re-establishment.
To provide integrity protection on DRBs between the RN and the E-UTRAN, the KUPint key is derived from the KeNB
key as described in TS33.401 [32]. The same integrity protection algorithm used for SRBs also applies to the DRBs.
The KUPint changes at every handover and RRC connection re-establishment and is based on an updated KeNB which is
derived by taking into account the nextHopChainingCount. The COUNT value maintained for DRB ciphering is also
used for integrity protection, if the integrity protection is configured for the DRB.
In DC, an SCG can be established, reconfigured or released by using an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message with
or without the mobilityControlInfo. In case Random Access to the PSCell or initial PUSCH transmission to the PSCell
if rach-SkipSCG is configured is required upon SCG reconfiguration, E-UTRAN employs the SCG change procedure
(i.e. an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message including the mobilityControlInfoSCG). The PSCell can only be
changed using the SCG change procedure and by release and addition of the PSCell.
The network triggers the handover procedure e.g. based on radio conditions, load. To facilitate this, the network may
configure the UE to perform measurement reporting (possibly including the configuration of measurement gaps). The
network may also initiate handover blindly, i.e. without having received measurement reports from the UE.
Before sending the handover message to the UE, the source eNB prepares one or more target cells. The source eNB
selects the target PCell. The source eNB may also provide the target eNB with a list of best cells on each frequency for
which measurement information is available, in order of decreasing RSRP. The source eNB may also include available
measurement information for the cells provided in the list. The target eNB decides which SCells are configured for use
after handover, which may include cells other than the ones indicated by the source eNB. If an SCG is configured,
handover involves either SCG release or either SCG change (in case of DC) or an NR SCG reconfiguration with sync
and key change (in case of EN-DC). In case the UE was configured with (EN-) DC, the target eNB indicates in the
handover message whether the UE shall release the entire (NR) SCG configuration. Upon connection re-establishment,
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 68 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
the UE releases the entire SCG configuration except for the DRB configuration, while E-UTRAN in the first
reconfiguration message following the re-establishment either releases the DRB(s) or reconfigures the DRB(s) to MCG
DRB(s).
The target eNB generates the message used to perform the handover, i.e. the message including the AS-configuration to
be used in the target cell(s). The source eNB transparently (i.e. does not alter values/ content) forwards the handover
message/ information received from the target to the UE. When appropriate, the source eNB may initiate data
forwarding for (a subset of) the DRBs.
After receiving the handover message, the UE attempts to access the target PCell at the first available RACH occasion
according to Random Access resource selection defined in TS 36.321 [6], i.e. the handover is asynchronous, or at the
first available PUSCH occasion if rach-Skip is configured. Consequently, when allocating a dedicated preamble for the
random access in the target PCell, E-UTRA shall ensure it is available from the first RACH occasion the UE may use.
The first available PUSCH occasion is provided by ul-ConfigInfo, if configured, otherwise UE shall monitor the
PDCCH of target eNB. Upon successful completion of the handover, the UE sends a message used to confirm the
handover.
If the target eNB does not support the release of RRC protocol which the source eNB used to configure the UE, the
target eNB may be unable to comprehend the UE configuration provided by the source eNB. In this case, the target eNB
should use the full configuration option to reconfigure the UE for Handover and Re-establishment. Full configuration
option includes an initialization of the radio configuration, which makes the procedure independent of the configuration
used in the source cell(s) with the exception that the security algorithms are continued for the RRC re-establishment.
The same behavior applies in EN-DC, if upon handover the target eNB is unable to comprehend the MCG part of the
UE configuration i.e. the target eNB uses the full configuration option which involves release and configuration of
(most of the) MCG and NR SCG configuration. In case of EN-DC, the target SgNB may be unable to comprehend the
NR SCG configuration provided by the source SgNB. In such a case, release and addition may be applied for the NR
SCG part of the configuration.
NOTE 1: When using release and addition for the NR SCG configuration, E-UTRAN includes drb-ToReleaseList
for the SN terminated RBs.
After the successful completion of handover, PDCP SDUs may be re-transmitted in the target cell(s). This only applies
for DRBs using RLC-AM mode and for handovers not involving full configuration option. The further details are
specified in TS 36.323 [8]. After the successful completion of handover not involving full configuration option, the SN
and the HFN are reset except for the DRBs using RLC-AM mode (for which both SN and HFN continue). For
reconfigurations involving the full configuration option, the PDCP entities are newly established (SN and HFN do not
continue) for all DRBs irrespective of the RLC mode. The further details are specified in TS 36.323 [8].
One UE behaviour to be performed upon handover is specified, i.e. this is regardless of the handover procedures used
within the network (e.g. whether the handover includes X2 or S1 signalling procedures).
The source eNB should, for some time, maintain a context to enable the UE to return in case of handover failure. After
having detected handover failure, the UE attempts to resume the RRC connection either in the source PCell or in
another cell using the RRC re-establishment procedure. This connection resumption succeeds only if the accessed cell is
prepared, i.e. concerns a cell of the source eNB or of another eNB towards which handover preparation has been
performed. The cell in which the re-establishment procedure succeeds becomes the PCell while SCells and STAGs, if
configured, are released.
Normal measurement and mobility procedures are used to support handover to cells broadcasting a CSG identity. In
addition, E-UTRAN may configure the UE to report that it is entering or leaving the proximity of cell(s) included in its
CSG whitelist. Furthermore, E-UTRAN may request the UE to provide additional information broadcast by the
handover candidate cell e.g. global cell identity, CSG identity, CSG membership status.
NOTE 2: E-UTRAN may use the 'proximity report' to configure measurements as well as to decide whether or not
to request additional information broadcast by the handover candidate cell. The additional information is
used to verify whether or not the UE is authorised to access the target PCell and may also be needed to
identify handover candidate cell (PCI confusion i.e. when the physical layer identity that is included in
the measurement report does not uniquely identify the cell).

SRB1bis is used until security is activated. The RRC messages to activate security (command and successful response)
are sent over SRB1 being integrity protected and ciphering is started after completion of the procedure. In case of
unsuccessful security activation, the failure message is sent over SRB1 and subsequent messages are sent over
SRB1bis. Once security is activated, new RRC messages shall be transmitted using SRB1. A NB-IoT UE that only
supports the Control Plane CIoT EPS optimisation (see TS 24.301 [35]) only establishes SRB1bis.
A NB-IoT UE only supports 0, 1 or 2 DRBs, depending on its capability. A NB-IoT UE that only supports the Control
Plane CIoT EPS optimisation (see TS 24.301 [35]) does not need to support any DRBs and associated procedures.
Table 5.3.1.4-1 lists the procedures that are applicable for NB-IoT. All other procedures are not applicable; this is not
further stated in the corresponding procedures.

The UE initiates the procedure when upper layers request establishment or resume of an RRC connection while the UE
is in RRC_IDLE or when upper layers request resume of an RRC connection or RRC layer requests resume of an RRC
connection for, e.g. RNAU or reception of RAN paging while the UE is in RRC_INACTIVE.
Except for NB-IoT, upon initiation of the procedure, if the UE is connected to EPC, the UE shall:
2> select the AC-BarringPerPLMN entry with the plmn-IdentityIndex corresponding to the PLMN selected by
upper layers;

access barring parameters in this entry) irrespective of the common access barring parameters included in
SystemInformationBlockType2;

RRCConnectionReestablishmentRequest
RRCConnectionReestablishmentReject
The purpose of this procedure is to re-establish the RRC connection, which involves the resumption of SRB1 (SRB1bis
for a NB-IoT UE for which AS security has not been activated) operation, the re-activation of security (except for a NB-
IoT UE for which AS security has not been activated) and the configuration of only the PCell.
Except for a NB-IoT UE for which AS security has not been activated, a UE in RRC_CONNECTED, for which security
has been activated, may initiate the procedure in order to continue the RRC connection. The connection re-
establishment succeeds only if the concerned cell is prepared i.e. has a valid UE context. In case E-UTRAN accepts the
re-establishment, SRB1 operation resumes while the operation of other radio bearers remains suspended. If AS security
has not been activated, the UE does not initiate the procedure but instead moves to RRC_IDLE directly.
When AS security has not been activated, a NB-IoT UE supporting RRC connection re-establishment for the Control
Plane CIoT EPS optimisation in RRC_CONNECTED may initiate the procedure in order to continue the RRC
connection.

For the (network controlled) inter RAT mobility from E-UTRA for a UE in RRC_CONNECTED, a single procedure is
defined that supports both handover, cell change order with optional network assistance (NACC) and enhanced CS
fallback to CDMA2000 1xRTT. In case of mobility to CDMA2000, the eNB decides when to move to the other RAT
while the target RAT determines to which cell the UE shall move.

RRCConnectionReconfiguration
(sent via other RAT)
RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete
The purpose of this procedure is to, under the control of the network, transfer a connection between the UE and another
Radio Access Network (e.g. GERAN, UTRAN or NR) to E-UTRAN, or transfer a connection between the UE and the
E-UTRAN with one type of CN to the E-UTRAN with a different type of CN.
The handover to E-UTRA procedure applies when SRBs, possibly in combination with DRBs, are established in
another RAT or in E-UTRA connected to another type of CN. Handover from UTRAN to E-UTRAN applies only after
integrity has been activated in UTRAN.
5.4.2.2 Initiation
The RAN using another RAT or the E-UTRA connected to a different type of CN initiates the handover to E-UTRA
procedure, in accordance with the specifications applicable for the other RAT or for the E-UTRA connected to a
different type of CN, by sending the RRCConnectionReconfiguration message via the radio access technology from
which the inter-RAT handover is performed.

ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 162 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
The purpose of this procedure is to move a UE in RRC_CONNECTED to a cell using another Radio Access
Technology (RAT), e.g. GERAN, UTRA, CDMA2000 systems or NR. The mobility from E-UTRA procedure covers
the following type of mobility:
- handover, i.e. the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message includes radio resources that have been allocated for
the UE in the target cell;
- cell change order, i.e. the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message may include information facilitating access
of and/ or connection establishment in the target cell, e.g. system information. Cell change order is applicable
only to GERAN; and
- enhanced CS fallback to CDMA2000 1xRTT, i.e. the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message includes radio
resources that have been allocated for the UE in the target cell. The enhanced CS fallback to CDMA2000 1xRTT
may be combined with concurrent handover or redirection to CDMA2000 HRPD.
NOTE: For the case of dual receiver/transmitter enhanced CS fallback to CDMA2000 1xRTT, the
DLInformationTransfer message is used instead of the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message (see TS
36.300 [9]).
5.4.3.2 Initiation
E-UTRAN initiates the mobility from E-UTRA procedure to a UE in RRC_CONNECTED, possibly in response to a
MeasurementReport message or in response to reception of CS fallback indication for the UE from MME, by sending a
MobilityFromEUTRACommand message. E-UTRAN applies the procedure as follows:
- the procedure is initiated only when AS-security has been activated, and SRB2 with at least one DRB are setup
and not suspended;
The UE shall:
3> consider inter-RAT mobility as initiated towards the RAT indicated by the targetRAT-Type included in
the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message;
3> access the target cell indicated in the inter-RAT message in accordance with the specifications of the
target RAT;
4> use the contents of systemInformation, if provided for PS Handover, as the system information to
begin access on the target GERAN cell;
NOTE 1: If there are DRBs for which no radio bearers are established in the target RAT as indicated in the
targetRAT-MessageContainer in the message, the E-UTRA RRC part of the UE does not indicate the
release of the concerned DRBs to the upper layers. Upper layers may derive which bearers are not
established from information received from the AS of the target RAT.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 163 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
3> access the target cell indicated in the inter-RAT message in accordance with section 5.4.2.3;
3> access the target cell indicated in the inter-RAT message in accordance with the specifications in TS
38.331 [82];
3> forward the targetRAT-Type and the targetRAT-MessageContainer to the CDMA2000 upper layers for
the UE to access the cell(s) indicated in the inter-RAT message in accordance with the specifications of
the CDMA2000 target-RAT;
1> else if the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message includes the purpose set to cellChangeOrder:
2> start timer T304 with the timer value set to t304, as included in the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message;
3> else:
4> acquire networkControlOrder and apply the value as specified in TS 44.060 [36];
3> use the contents of systemInformation, if provided, as the system information to begin access on the target
GERAN cell;
2> establish the connection to the target cell indicated in the CellChangeOrder;
NOTE 3: The criteria for success or failure of the cell change order to GERAN are specified in TS 44.060[36].
3> forward the messageContCDMA2000-1XRTT to the CDMA2000 upper layers for the UE to access the
cell(s) indicated in the inter-RAT message in accordance with the specification of the target RAT;
3> forward the messageContCDMA2000-HRPD to the CDMA2000 upper layers for the UE to access the
cell(s) indicated in the inter-RAT message in accordance with the specification of the target RAT;
NOTE 4: When the CDMA2000 upper layers in the UE receive both the messageContCDMA2000-1XRTT and
messageContCDMA2000-HRPD the UE performs concurrent access to both CDMA2000 1xRTT and
CDMA2000 HRPD RAT.
NOTE 5: The UE should perform the handover, the cell change order or enhanced 1xRTT CS fallback as soon as
possible following the reception of the RRC message MobilityFromEUTRACommand, which could be
before confirming successful reception (HARQ and ARQ) of this message.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 164 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
1> else:
2> perform the actions upon leaving RRC_CONNECTED as specified in 5.3.12, with release cause 'other';
NOTE: If the UE performs enhanced 1xRTT CS fallback along with concurrent mobility to CDMA2000 HRPD
and the connection to either CDMA2000 1xRTT or CDMA2000 HRPD succeeds, then the mobility from
E-UTRA is considered successful.
1> if T304 configured in the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message expires (mobility from E-UTRA failure); or
1> if the UE does not succeed in establishing the connection to the target radio access technology; or
1> if the UE is unable to comply with (part of) the configuration included in the MobilityFromEUTRACommand
message; or
1> if there is a protocol error in the inter RAT information included in the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message,
causing the UE to fail the procedure according to the specifications applicable for the target RAT (i.e. according
to sub-clause 5.3.5.6 if the targetRAT-Type in the received MobilityFromEUTRACommand is set to eutra):
2> if the cs-FallbackIndicator in the MobilityFromEUTRACommand message was set to TRUE or e-CSFB was
present:
3> indicate to upper layers that the CS fallback procedure has failed;
2> revert back to the configuration used in the source PCell, excluding the configuration configured by the
physicalConfigDedicated, mac-MainConfig and sps-Config;
NOTE: For enhanced CS fallback to CDMA2000 1xRTT, the above UE behavior applies only when the UE is
attempting the enhanced 1xRTT CS fallback and connection to the target radio access technology fails or
if the UE is attempting enhanced 1xRTT CS fallback along with concurrent mobility to CDMA2000
HRPD and connection to both the target radio access technologies fails.
UE EUTRAN
HandoverFromEUTRAPreparationRequest
The purpose of this procedure is to trigger the UE to prepare for handover or enhanced 1xRTT CS fallback to
CDMA2000 by requesting a connection with this network. The UE may use this procedure to concurrently prepare for
handover to CDMA2000 HRPD along with preparation for enhanced CS fallback to CDMA2000 1xRTT. This
procedure applies to CDMA2000 capable UEs only.
This procedure is also used to trigger the UE which supports dual Rx/Tx enhanced 1xCSFB to redirect its second radio
to CDMA2000 1xRTT.
The handover from E-UTRA preparation request procedure applies when signalling radio bearers are established.

5.4.4.2 Initiation
E-UTRAN initiates the handover from E-UTRA preparation request procedure to a UE in RRC_CONNECTED,
possibly in response to a MeasurementReport message or CS fallback indication for the UE, by sending a
HandoverFromEUTRAPreparationRequest message. E-UTRA initiates the procedure only when AS security has been
activated.
1> else:
2> indicate the request to prepare handover or enhanced 1xRTT CS fallback and forward the cdma2000-Type to
the CDMA2000 upper layers;
3> forward the rand and the mobilityParameters to the CDMA2000 upper layers;
2> else:
3> forward concurrPrepCDMA2000-HRPD, with its value set to FALSE, to the CDMA2000 upper layers;
UE EUTRAN
ULHandoverPreparationTransfer
The purpose of this procedure is to tunnel the handover related CDMA2000 dedicated information or enhanced 1xRTT
CS fallback related CDMA2000 dedicated information from UE to E-UTRAN when requested by the higher layers. The
procedure is triggered by the higher layers on receipt of HandoverFromEUTRAPreparationRequest message. If
preparing for enhanced CS fallback to CDMA2000 1xRTT and handover to CDMA2000 HRPD, the UE sends two
consecutive ULHandoverPreparationTransfer messages to E-UTRAN, one per addressed CDMA2000 RAT Type. This
procedure applies to CDMA2000 capable UEs only.
5.4.5.2 Initiation
A UE in RRC_CONNECTED initiates the UL handover preparation transfer procedure whenever there is a need to
transfer handover or enhanced 1xRTT CS fallback related non-3GPP dedicated information. The UE initiates the UL
handover preparation transfer procedure by sending the ULHandoverPreparationTransfer message.

2> include the meid and set it to the value received from the CDMA2000 upper layers;
1> submit the ULHandoverPreparationTransfer message to lower layers for transmission, upon which the
procedure ends;
2> inform upper layers about the possible failure to deliver the information contained in the concerned
ULHandoverPreparationTransfer message;
5.4.6.2 Initiation
The procedure is initiated when a radio access technology other than E-UTRAN, e.g. GSM/GPRS, using procedures
specific for that RAT, orders the UE to change to an E-UTRAN cell. In response, upper layers request the establishment
of an RRC connection as specified in subclause 5.3.3.
NOTE: Within the message used to order the UE to change to an E-UTRAN cell, the source RAT should specify
the identity of the target E-UTRAN cell as specified in the specifications for that RAT.
The UE shall:
2> consider the inter-RAT cell change order procedure to have completed successfully;
The UE shall:
1> upon failure to establish the RRC connection as specified in subclause 5.3.3:
2> consider the inter-RAT cell change order procedure to have failed;
NOTE: The cell change was network ordered. Therefore, failure to change to the target PCell should not cause the
UE to move to UE-controlled cell selection.

5.5 Measurements
5.5.1 Introduction
The UE reports measurement information in accordance with the measurement configuration as provided by E-
UTRAN. E-UTRAN provides the measurement configuration applicable for a UE in RRC_CONNECTED by means of
dedicated signalling, i.e. using the RRCConnectionReconfiguration or RRCConnectionResume message.
- Intra-frequency measurements: measurements at the downlink carrier frequency(ies) of the serving cell(s).
- Inter-frequency measurements: measurements at frequencies that differ from any of the downlink carrier
frequency(ies) of the serving cell(s).
- CBR measurements.
- Sensing measurements.
1. Measurement objects: The objects on which the UE shall perform the measurements.
- For intra-frequency and inter-frequency measurements a measurement object is a single E-UTRA carrier
frequency. Associated with this carrier frequency, E-UTRAN can configure a list of cell specific offsets, a
list of 'blacklisted' cells and a list of 'whitelisted' cells. Blacklisted cells are not considered in event evaluation
or measurement reporting.
- For inter-RAT NR measurements a measurement object is a single NR carrier frequency. Associated with
this carrier frequency, E-UTRAN can configure a list of 'blacklisted' cells. Blacklisted cells are not
considered in event evaluation or measurement reporting.
- For inter-RAT UTRA measurements a measurement object is a set of cells on a single UTRA carrier
frequency.
- For inter-RAT GERAN measurements a measurement object is a set of GERAN carrier frequencies.
- For inter-RAT CDMA2000 measurements a measurement object is a set of cells on a single (HRPD or
1xRTT) carrier frequency.
- For inter-RAT WLAN measurements a measurement object is a set of WLAN identifiers and optionally a set
of WLAN frequencies.
- For CBR measurements and sensing measurements a measurement object is a set of transmission resource
pools for V2X sidelink communication.
NOTE 1: Some measurements using the above mentioned measurement objects, only concern a single cell, e.g.
measurements used to report neighbouring cell system information, PCell UE Rx-Tx time difference, or a
pair of cells, e.g. SSTD measurements between the PCell and the PSCell.
2. Reporting configurations: A list of reporting configurations where each reporting configuration consists of the
following:
- Reporting criterion: The criterion that triggers the UE to send a measurement report. This can either be
periodical or a single event description.
- Reporting format: The quantities that the UE includes in the measurement report and associated information
(e.g. number of cells to report).

3. Measurement identities: A list of measurement identities where each measurement identity links one
measurement object with one reporting configuration. By configuring multiple measurement identities it is
possible to link more than one measurement object to the same reporting configuration, as well as to link more
than one reporting configuration to the same measurement object. The measurement identity is used as a
reference number in the measurement report.
4. Quantity configurations: One quantity configuration is configured per RAT type. The quantity configuration
defines the measurement quantities and associated filtering used for all event evaluation and related reporting of
that measurement type. One filter can be configured per measurement quantity, except for NR where the network
may configure up to 2 sets of quantity configurations each comprising per measurement quantity seperate filters
for cell and RS index measurement results. The quantity configuration set that applies for a given measurement
is indicated within the NR measurement object.
5. Measurement gaps: Periods that the UE may use to perform measurements, i.e. no (UL, DL) transmissions are
scheduled.
E-UTRAN only configures a single measurement object for a given frequency (except for WLAN and except for CBR
measurements), i.e. it is not possible to configure two or more measurement objects for the same frequency with
different associated parameters, e.g. different offsets and/ or blacklists. E-UTRAN may configure multiple instances of
the same event e.g. by configuring two reporting configurations with different thresholds.
The UE maintains a single measurement object list, a single reporting configuration list, and a single measurement
identities list. The measurement object list includes measurement objects, that are specified per RAT type, possibly
including intra-frequency object(s) (i.e. the object(s) corresponding to the serving frequency(ies)), inter-frequency
object(s) and inter-RAT objects. Similarly, the reporting configuration list includes E-UTRA and inter-RAT reporting
configurations. Any measurement object can be linked to any reporting configuration of the same RAT type. Some
reporting configurations may not be linked to a measurement object. Likewise, some measurement objects may not be
linked to a reporting configuration.
1. The serving cell(s) - these are the PCell and one or more SCells, if configured for a UE supporting CA or DC.
Likewise, NR serving cell(s) are the NR PSCell and SCells, if the UE is configured with EN-DC.
2. Listed cells - these are cells listed within the measurement object(s) or, for inter-RAT WLAN, the WLANs
matching the WLAN identifiers configured in the measurement object or the WLAN the UE is connected to.
3. Detected cells - these are cells that are not listed within the measurement object(s) but are detected by the UE on
the carrier frequency(ies) indicated by the measurement object(s) or, for inter-RAT WLAN, the WLANs not
included in the measObjectWLAN but meeting the triggering requirements.
For E-UTRA, the UE measures and reports on the serving cell(s), listed cells, detected cells, transmission resource
pools for V2X sidelink communication, and, for RSSI and channel occupancy measurements, the UE measures and
reports on any reception on the indicated frequency. For inter-RAT NR, the UE measures and reports on detected cells
and, if configured with EN-DC, on NR serving cell(s). For inter-RAT UTRA, the UE measures and reports on listed
cells and optionally on cells that are within a range for which reporting is allowed by E-UTRAN. For inter-RAT
GERAN, the UE measures and reports on detected cells. For inter-RAT CDMA2000, the UE measures and reports on
listed cells. For inter-RAT WLAN, the UE measures and reports on listed cells.
NOTE 2: For inter-RAT UTRA and CDMA2000, the UE measures and reports also on detected cells for the
purpose of SON.
NOTE 3: This specification is based on the assumption that typically CSG cells of home deployment type are not
indicated within the neighbour list. Furthermore, the assumption is that for non-home deployments, the
physical cell identity is unique within the area of a large macro cell (i.e. as for UTRAN).
Whenever the procedural specification, other than contained in sub-clause 5.5.2, refers to a field it concerns a field
included in the VarMeasConfig unless explicitly stated otherwise i.e. only the measurement configuration procedure
covers the direct UE action related to the received measConfig.

Fn is the updated filtered measurement result, that is used for evaluation of reporting criteria or for
measurement reporting;
Fn-1 is the old filtered measurement result, where F0 is set to M1 when the first measurement result from
the physical layer is received; and
a = 1/2(k/4), where k is the filterCoefficient for the corresponding measurement quantity received by the
quantityConfig;
2> adapt the filter such that the time characteristics of the filter are preserved at different input rates, observing
that the filterCoefficient k assumes a sample rate equal to 200 ms;
NOTE 3: The filtering is performed in the same domain as used for evaluation of reporting criteria or for
measurement reporting, i.e., logarithmic filtering for logarithmic measurements.
NOTE 4: The filter input rate is implementation dependent, to fulfil the performance requirements set in [16]. For

necessary NAS procedures (see TS 23.401 [41]) that would result in the update of UE radio access capabilities using a
new RRC connection.
NOTE: Change of the UE's GERAN UE radio capabilities in RRC_IDLE is supported by use of Tracking Area
Update.

HESSID) in wlan-MobilitySet in VarWLAN-MobilityConfig. This WLAN mobility set can be configured and updated by
the eNB. A WLAN is considered to be inside the WLAN mobility set if its identifiers match all WLAN identifiers of at
least one entry in wlan-MobilitySet and outside the WLAN mobility set otherwise. When the UE receives a new or
updated WLAN mobility set, it initiates connection to a WLAN inside the WLAN mobility set, if not already connected

1> when receiving an RRC message on the BCCH, BR-BCCH, PCCH, CCCH, MCCH, SC-MCCH or SBCCH for
which the abstract syntax is invalid [13]:
NOTE: This section applies in case one or more fields is set to a value, other than a spare, reserved or extended
value, not defined in this version of the transfer syntax. E.g. in the case the UE receives value 12 for a
field defined as INTEGER (1..11). In cases like this, it may not be possible to reliably detect which field
is in the error hence the error handling is at the message level.
1> if the message includes a field that has a value that the UE does not comprehend:
3> treat the message while using the default value defined for this field;
3> treat the message as if the field were absent and in accordance with the need code for absence of the
concerned field;
2> else:
3> treat the message as if the field were absent and in accordance with sub-clause 5.7.4;
1> if the message includes a field that is mandatory to include in the message (e.g. because conditions for
mandatory presence are fulfilled) and that field is absent or treated as absent:
2> else:
3> if the field concerns a (sub-field of) an entry of a list (i.e. a SEQUENCE OF):
4> treat the list as if the entry including the missing or not comprehended field was not present;
3> else if the field concerns a sub-field of another field, referred to as the 'parent' field i.e. the field that is one
nesting level up compared to the erroneous field:
4> apply the generic error handling to the subsequent 'parent' field(s), until reaching the top nesting level
i.e. the message level;
NOTE 1: The error handling defined in these sub-clauses implies that the UE ignores a message with the message
type or version set to a not comprehended value.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 242 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
NOTE 2: The nested error handling for messages received on logical channels other than DCCH and CCCH applies
for errors in extensions also, even for errors that can be regarded as invalid E-UTRAN operation e.g. E-
UTRAN not observing conditional presence.
The following ASN.1 further clarifies the levels applicable in case of nested error handling for errors in extension
fields.
-- /example/ ASN1START
BroadcastInfoBlock1-v940-IEs::= SEQUENCE {
field3-r9 Field3-r9 OPTIONAL, -- Cond Cond1
field4-r9 Field4-r9 OPTIONAL, -- Need ON
nonCriticalExtension SEQUENCE {} OPTIONAL -- Need OP
}
-- ASN1STOP
The UE shall, apply the following principles regarding the levels applicable in case of nested error handling:
- an extension additon group is not regarded as a level on its own. E.g. in the ASN.1 extract in the previous, a error
regarding the conditionality of field3 would result in the entire itemInfo entry to be ignored (rather than just the
extension addition group containing field3 and field4)
- a traditional nonCriticalExtension is not regarded as a level on its own. E.g. in the ASN.1 extract in the previous,
a error regarding the conditionality of field3 would result in the entire BroadcastInfoBlock1 to be ignored (rather
than just the non critical extension containing field3 and field4).
1> if the message includes a field that the UE does not comprehend:
2> treat the rest of the message as if the field was absent;
NOTE: This section does not apply to the case of an extension to the value range of a field. Such cases are
addressed instead by the requirements in section 5.7.3.
5.8 MBMS
5.8.1 Introduction
5.8.1.1 General
In general the control information relevant only for UEs supporting MBMS is separated as much as possible from
unicast control information. Most of the MBMS control information is provided on a logical channel specific for
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 243 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
MBMS common control information: the MCCH. E-UTRA employs one MCCH logical channel per MBSFN area. In
case the network configures multiple MBSFN areas, the UE acquires the MBMS control information from the MCCHs
that are configured to identify if services it is interested to receive are ongoing. The action applicable when the UE is
unable to simultaneously receive MBMS and unicast services is up to UE implementation. In this release of the
specification, an MBMS capable UE is only required to support reception of a single MBMS service at a time, and
reception of more than one MBMS service (also possibly on more than one MBSFN area) in parallel is left for UE
implementation. The MCCH carries the MBSFNAreaConfiguration message, which indicates the MBMS sessions that
are ongoing as well as the (corresponding) radio resource configuration. The MCCH may also carry the
MBMSCountingRequest message, when E-UTRAN wishes to count the number of UEs in RRC_CONNECTED that are
receiving or interested to receive one or more specific MBMS services.
A limited amount of MBMS control information is provided on the BCCH. This primarily concerns the information
needed to acquire the MCCH(s). This information is carried by means of a single MBMS specific
SystemInformationBlock: SystemInformationBlockType13. An MBSFN area is identified solely by the mbsfn-AreaId in
SystemInformationBlockType13. At mobility, the UE considers that the MBSFN area is continuous when the source cell
and the target cell broadcast the same value in the mbsfn-AreaId.
5.8.1.2 Scheduling
The MCCH information is transmitted periodically, using a configurable repetition period. Scheduling information is
not provided for MCCH i.e. both the time domain scheduling as well as the lower layer configuration are semi-statically
configured, as defined within SystemInformationBlockType13.
For MBMS user data, which is carried by the MTCH logical channel, E-UTRAN periodically provides MCH
scheduling information (MSI) at lower layers (MAC). This MCH information only concerns the time domain
scheduling i.e. the frequency domain scheduling and the lower layer configuration are semi-statically configured. The
periodicity of the MSI is configurable and defined by the MCH scheduling period.
When the network changes (some of) the MCCH information, it notifies the UEs about the change during a first
modification period. In the next modification period, the network transmits the updated MCCH information. These
general principles are illustrated in figure 5.8.1.3-1, in which different colours indicate different MCCH information.
Upon receiving a change notification, a UE interested to receive MBMS services acquires the new MCCH information
immediately from the start of the next modification period. The UE applies the previously acquired MCCH information
until the UE acquires the new MCCH information.
MCCH repetition
period
Indication of an MBMS specific RNTI, the M-RNTI (see TS 36.321 [6]), on PDCCH is used to inform UEs in
RRC_IDLE and UEs in RRC_CONNECTED about an MCCH information change. When receiving an MCCH
information change notification, the UE knows that the MCCH information will change at the next modification period
boundary. The notification on PDCCH indicates which of the MCCHs will change, which is done by means of an 8-bit
bitmap. Within this bitmap, the bit at the position indicated by the field notificationIndicator is used to indicate changes
for that MBSFN area: if the bit is set to "1", the corresponding MCCH will change. No further details are provided e.g.
regarding which MCCH information will change. The MCCH information change notification is used to inform the UE
about a change of MCCH information upon session start or about the start of MBMS counting.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 244 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
The MCCH information change notifications on PDCCH are transmitted periodically and are carried on MBSFN
subframes only except on MBMS-dedicated cell or FeMBMS/Unicast-mixed cell where the MCCH information change
is provided on non-MBSFN subframes. These MCCH information change notification occasions are common for all
MCCHs that are configured, and configurable by parameters included in SystemInformationBlockType13: a repetition
coefficient, a radio frame offset and a subframe index. These common notification occasions are based on the MCCH
with the shortest modification period.
NOTE 1: E-UTRAN may modify the MBMS configuration information provided on MCCH at the same time as
updating the MBMS configuration information carried on BCCH i.e. at a coinciding BCCH and MCCH
modification period. Upon detecting that a new MCCH is configured on BCCH, a UE interested to
receive one or more MBMS services should acquire the MCCH, unless it knows that the services it is
interested in are not provided by the corresponding MBSFN area.
A UE that is receiving an MBMS service via MRB shall acquire the MCCH information from the start of each
modification period. A UE interested to receive MBMS from a carrier on which dl-Bandwidth included in
MasterInformationBlock is set to n6 shall acquire the MCCH information at least once every MCCH modification
period. A UE that is not receiving an MBMS service via MRB, as well as UEs that are receiving an MBMS service via
MRB but potentially interested to receive other services not started yet in another MBSFN area from a carrier on which
dl-Bandwidth included in MasterInformationBlock is other than n6, shall verify that the stored MCCH information
remains valid by attempting to find the MCCH information change notification at least notificationRepetitionCoeff
times during the modification period of the applicable MCCH(s), if no MCCH information change notification is
received.
NOTE 2: In case the UE is aware which MCCH(s) E-UTRAN uses for the service(s) it is interested to receive, the
UE may only need to monitor change notifications for a subset of the MCCHs that are configured,
referred to as the 'applicable MCCH(s)' in the above.
MBSFNAreaConfiguration
MBMSCountingRequest
The UE applies the MCCH information acquisition procedure to acquire the MBMS control information that is
broadcasted by the E-UTRAN. The procedure applies to MBMS capable UEs that are in RRC_IDLE or in
RRC_CONNECTED.
5.8.2.2 Initiation
A UE interested to receive MBMS services shall apply the MCCH information acquisition procedure upon entering the
corresponding MBSFN area (e.g. upon power on, following UE mobility) and upon receiving a notification that the
MCCH information has changed. A UE that is receiving an MBMS service shall apply the MCCH information
acquisition procedure to acquire the MCCH, that corresponds with the service that is being received, at the start of each
modification period.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the procedural specification, the MCCH information acquisition procedure
overwrites any stored MCCH information, i.e. delta configuration is not applicable for MCCH information and the UE
discontinues using a field if it is absent in MCCH information unless explicitly specified otherwise.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 245 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
2> start acquiring the MBSFNAreaConfiguration message and the MBMSCountingRequest message if present,
from the beginning of the modification period following the one in which the change notification was
received;
NOTE 1: The UE continues using the previously received MCCH information until the new MCCH information
has been acquired.
2> acquire the MBSFNAreaConfiguration message and the MBMSCountingRequest message if present, at the
next repetition period;
2> start acquiring the MBSFNAreaConfiguration message and the MBMSCountingRequest message if present,
that both concern the MBSFN area of the service that is being received, from the beginning of each
modification period;
NOTE: In case the UE is unable to receive an MBMS service due to capability limitations, upper layers may take
appropriate action e.g. terminate a lower priority unicast service.
5.8.3.2 Initiation
The UE applies the MRB establishment procedure to start receiving a session of a service it has an interest in. The
procedure may be initiated e.g. upon start of the MBMS session, upon (re-)entry of the corresponding MBSFN service
area, upon becoming interested in the MBMS service, upon removal of UE capability limitations inhibiting reception of
the concerned service.
The UE applies the MRB release procedure to stop receiving a session. The procedure may be initiated e.g. upon stop of
the MBMS session, upon leaving the corresponding MBSFN service area, upon losing interest in the MBMS service,
when capability limitations start inhibiting reception of the concerned service.
1> establish an RLC entity in accordance with the configuration specified in 9.1.1.4;
1> configure an MTCH logical channel in accordance with the received locgicalChannelIdentity, applicable for the
MRB, as included in the MBSFNAreaConfiguration message;
1> configure the physical layer in accordance with the pmch-Config, applicable for the MRB, as included in the
MBSFNAreaConfiguration message;
1> inform upper layers about the establishment of the MRB by indicating the corresponding tmgi and sessionId;
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 246 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
1> release the RLC entity as well as the related MAC and physical layer configuration;
1> inform upper layers about the release of the MRB by indicating the corresponding tmgi and sessionId;
UE EUTRAN
MBMSCountingRequest
MBMSCountingResponse
The MBMS Counting procedure is used by the E-UTRAN to count the number of RRC_CONNECTED mode UEs
which are receiving via an MRB or interested to receive via an MRB the specified MBMS services.
The UE determines interest in an MBMS service, that is identified by the TMGI, by interaction with upper layers.
5.8.4.2 Initiation
E-UTRAN initiates the procedure by sending an MBMSCountingRequest message.
1> if the SystemInformationBlockType1, that provided the scheduling information for the
systemInformationBlockType13 that included the configuration of the MCCH via which the
MBMSCountingRequest message was received, contained the identity of the Registered PLMN; and
1> if the UE is receiving via an MRB or interested to receive via an MRB at least one of the services in the received
countingRequestList:
2> if more than one entry is included in the mbsfn-AreaInfoList received in the SystemInformationBlockType13
that included the configuration of the MCCH via which the MBMSCountingRequest message was received:
3> include the mbsfn-AreaIndex in the MBMSCountingResponse message and set it to the index of the entry
in the mbsfn-AreaInfoList within the received SystemInformationBlockType13 that corresponds with the
MBSFN area used to transfer the received MBMSCountingRequest message;
3> if the UE is receiving via an MRB or interested to receive via an MRB this MBMS service:
4> include an entry in the countingResponseList within the MBMSCountingResponse message with
countingResponseService set it to the index of the entry in the countingRequestList within the received
MBMSCountingRequest that corresponds with the MBMS service the UE is receiving or interested to
receive;
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 247 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
2> submit the MBMSCountingResponse message to lower layers for transmission upon which the procedure
ends;
NOTE 1: UEs that are receiving an MBMS User Service [56] by means of a Unicast Bearer Service [57] (i.e. via a
DRB), but are interested to receive the concerned MBMS User Service [56] via an MBMS Bearer Service
(i.e. via an MRB), respond to the counting request.
NOTE 2: If ciphering is used at upper layers, the UE does not respond to the counting request if it can not decipher
the MBMS service for which counting is performed (see TS 22.146 [62, 5.3]).
NOTE 3: The UE treats the MBMSCountingRequest messages received in each modification period independently.
In the unlikely case E-UTRAN would repeat an MBMSCountingRequest (i.e. including the same services)
in a subsequent modification period, the UE responds again. The UE provides at most one
MBMSCountingResponse message to multiple transmission attempts of an MBMSCountingRequest
messages in a given modification period.
UE EUTRAN
SIB15 acquisition
MBMSInterestIndication
The purpose of this procedure is to inform E-UTRAN that the UE is receiving or is interested to receive MBMS
service(s) via an MRB or SC-MRB, and if so, to inform E-UTRAN about the priority of MBMS versus unicast
reception.
5.8.5.2 Initiation
An MBMS or SC-PTM capable UE in RRC_CONNECTED may initiate the procedure in several cases including upon
successful connection establishment, upon entering or leaving the service area, upon session start or stop, upon change
of interest, upon change of priority between MBMS reception and unicast reception or upon change to a PCell
broadcasting SystemInformationBlockType15.
2> if the UE did not transmit an MBMSInterestIndication message since last entering RRC_CONNECTED state;
or
2> if since the last time the UE transmitted an MBMSInterestIndication message, the UE connected to a PCell
not broadcasting SystemInformationBlockType15:
3> if the set of MBMS frequencies of interest, determined in accordance with 5.8.5.3, is not empty:
2> else:
3> if the set of MBMS frequencies of interest, determined in accordance with 5.8.5.3, has changed since the
last transmission of the MBMSInterestIndication message; or
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 248 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
3> if the prioritisation of reception of all indicated MBMS frequencies compared to reception of any of the
established unicast bearers has changed since the last transmission of the MBMSInterestIndication
message:
NOTE: The UE may send an MBMSInterestIndication even when it is able to receive the MBMS services it is
interested in i.e. to avoid that the network allocates a configuration inhibiting MBMS reception.
4> if since the last time the UE transmitted an MBMSInterestIndication message, the UE connected to a
PCell not broadcasting SystemInformationBlockType20; or
4> if the set of MBMS services of interest determined in accordance with 5.8.5.3a is different from
mbms-Services included in the last transmission of the MBMSInterestIndication message;
5> initiate the transmission of the MBMSInterestIndication message in accordance with 5.8.5.4.
1> consider a frequency to be part of the MBMS frequencies of interest if the following conditions are met:
2> at least one MBMS session the UE is receiving or interested to receive via an MRB or SC-MRB is ongoing
or about to start; and
NOTE 1: The UE may determine whether the session is ongoing from the start and stop time indicated in the User
Service Description (USD), see 3GPP TS 36.300 [9] or 3GPP TS 26.346 [57].
2> for at least one of these MBMS sessions SystemInformationBlockType15 acquired from the PCell includes for
the concerned frequency one or more MBMS SAIs as indicated in the USD for this session; and
NOTE 2: The UE considers a frequency to be part of the MBMS frequencies of interest even though E-UTRAN
may (temporarily) not employ an MRB or SC-MRB for the concerned session. I.e. the UE does not verify
if the session is indicated on (SC-)MCCH
NOTE 3: The UE considers the frequencies of interest independently of any synchronization state, e.g. [9, Annex
J.1]
2> the UE is capable of simultaneously receiving MRBs and/or is capable of simultaneously receiving SC-
MRBs on the set of MBMS frequencies of interest, regardless of whether a serving cell is configured on each
of these frequencies or not; and
2> the supportedBandCombination the UE included in UE-EUTRA-Capability contains at least one band
combination including the set of MBMS frequencies of interest;
NOTE 5: When evaluating which frequencies it can receive simultaneously, the UE does not take into account the
serving frequencies that are currently configured i.e. it only considers MBMS frequencies it is interested
to receive.
NOTE 6: The set of MBMS frequencies of interest includes at most one frequency for a given physical frequency.
The UE only considers a physical frequency to be part of the MBMS frequencies of interest if it supports
at least one of the bands indicated for this physical frequency in SystemInformationBlockType1 (for
serving frequency) or SystemInformationBlockType15 (for neighbouring frequencies). In this case, E-
UTRAN may assume the UE supports MBMS reception on any of the bands supported by the UE (i.e.
according to supportedBandCombination).
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 249 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
1> consider a MBMS service to be part of the MBMS services of interest if the following conditions are met:
2> the UE is receiving or interested to receive this service via an SC-MRB; and
2> one or more MBMS SAIs in the USD for this service is included in SystemInformationBlockType15 acquired
from the PCell for a frequency belonging to the set of MBMS frequencies of interest, determined according
to 5.8.5.3.
1> if the set of MBMS frequencies of interest, determined in accordance with 5.8.5.3, is not empty:
2> include mbms-FreqList and set it to include the MBMS frequencies of interest sorted by decreasing order of
interest, using the EARFCN corresponding with freqBandIndicator included in
SystemInformationBlockType1 (for serving frequency), if applicable, and the EARFCN(s) as included in
SystemInformationBlockType15 (for neighbouring frequencies);
NOTE 1: The EARFCN included in mbms-FreqList is merely used to indicate a physical frequency the UE is
interested to receive i.e. the UE may not support the band corresponding to the included EARFCN (but it
does support at least one of the bands indicated in system information for the concerned physical
frequency).
2> include mbms-Priority if the UE prioritises reception of all indicated MBMS frequencies above reception of
any of the unicast bearers;
3> include mbms-Services and set it to indicate the set of MBMS services of interest determined in
accordance with 5.8.5.3a;
NOTE 2: If the UE prioritises MBMS reception and unicast data cannot be supported because of congestion on the
MBMS carrier(s), E-UTRAN may initiate release of unicast bearers. It is up to E-UTRAN
implementation whether all bearers or only GBR bearers are released. E-UTRAN does not initiate re-
establishment of the released unicast bearers upon alleviation of the congestion.
The UE shall submit the MBMSInterestIndication message to lower layers for transmission.
5.8a SC-PTM
5.8a.1 Introduction
5.8a.1.1 General
SC-PTM control information is provided on a specific logical channel: the SC-MCCH. The SC-MCCH carries the
SCPTMConfiguration message which indicates the MBMS sessions that are ongoing as well as the (corresponding)
information on when each session may be scheduled, i.e. scheduling period, scheduling window and start offset. The
SCPTMConfiguration message also provides information about the neighbour cells transmitting the MBMS sessions
which are ongoing on the current cell. In this release of the specification, an SC-PTM capable UE is only required to
support reception of a single MBMS service at a time, and reception of more than one MBMS service in parallel is left
for UE implementation.
A limited amount of SC-PTM control information is provided on the BCCH or BR-BCCH. This primarily concerns the
information needed to acquire the SC-MCCH.
NOTE: For BL UEs and UEs in CE, SC-MCCH transmission uses a 1.4 MHz channel bandwidth and a maximum
TBS of 936 bits, see TS 36.213 [23]. For NB-IoT UEs, the maximum TBS for SC-MCCH transmission is
680 bits, see TS 36.213 [23].
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 250 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
When the network changes (some of) the SC-MCCH information, it notifies the UEs, other than BL UEs, UEs in CE or
NB-IoT UEs, about the change in the first subframe which can be used for SC-MCCH transmission in a repetition
period. LSB bit in 8-bit bitmap when set to '1' indicates the change in SC-MCCH. Upon receiving a change notification,
a UE interested to receive MBMS services transmitted using SC-PTM acquires the new SC-MCCH information starting
from the same subframe. The UE applies the previously acquired SC-MCCH information until the UE acquires the new
SC-MCCH information.
When the network changes (some of) the SC-MCCH information for start of new MBMS service(s) transmitted using
SC-PTM, it notifies BL UEs, UEs in CE or NB-IoT UEs about the change in every PDCCH which schedules the first
SC-MCCH in a repetition period in the current modification period. The notification is transmitted with 1 bit. The bit,
when set to '1', indicates the start of new MBMS service(s), see TS 36.212 [22, 5.3.3.1.14 & 6.4.3.3]. Upon receiving a
change notification, a BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE interested to receive MBMS services transmitted using SC-
PTM acquires the new SC-MCCH information scheduled by the PDCCH. The BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE applies
the previously acquired SC-MCCH information until the BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE acquires the new SC-MCCH
information.
When the network changes SC-MTCH specific information e.g. start of new MBMS service(s) transmitted using SC-
PTM or change of ongoing MBMS service(s) transmitted using SC-PTM, it notifies the BL UEs, UEs in CE or NB-IoT
UEs in the PDCCH which schedules the SC-MTCH in the current modification period. The notification is transmitted
with a 2 bit bitmap. The LSB in the 2-bit bitmap, when set to '1', indicates the change of the on-going MBMS service
and the MSB in the 2-bit bitmap, when set to '1', indicates the start of new MBMS service(s), see TS 36.212 [22,
5.3.3.1.12 & 5.3.3.1.13 & 6.4.3.2]. In the case the network changes an on-going SC-MTCH transmission in the next
modification period, it notifies the BL UEs, UEs in CE or NB-IoT UEs in the PDCCH which schedules this SC-MTCH
in the current modification period. In the case the network starts new MBMS service(s) transmitted using SC-PTM, the
network notifies the UEs which have on-going SC-MTCH in the PDCCH scheduling each of the SC-MTCH. Upon
receiving such notification, a BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE acquires the new SC-MCCH information at the start of
the next modification period. The BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE applies the previously acquired SC-MCCH
information until the BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE acquires the new SC-MCCH information.
5.8a.1.4 Procedures
The SC-PTM capable UE receiving or interested to receive MBMS service(s) via SC-MRB applies SC-PTM procedures
described in 5.8a and, except for NB-IoT UE, the MBMS interest indication procedure as specified in 5.8.5.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 251 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
SCPTMConfiguration
The UE applies the SC-MCCH information acquisition procedure to acquire the SC-PTM control information that is
broadcast by the E-UTRAN. The procedure applies to SC-PTM capable UEs that are in RRC_IDLE except for BL UEs,
UEs in CE and NB-IoT UEs, performing EDT procedure. This procedure also applies to SC-PTM capable UEs that are
in RRC_CONNECTED except for BL UEs, UEs in CE or NB-IoT UEs.
5.8a.2.2 Initiation
A UE interested to receive MBMS services via SC-MRB shall apply the SC-MCCH information acquisition procedure
upon entering the cell broadcasting SystemInformationBlockType20 (SystemInformationBlockType20-NB in NB-IoT)
(e.g. upon power on, following UE mobility) and upon receiving a notification that the SC-MCCH information has
changed. A UE, except for BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE, that is receiving an MBMS service via SC-MRB shall
apply the SC-MCCH information acquisition procedure to acquire the SC-MCCH information that corresponds with the
service that is being received, at the start of each modification period. The BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE that is
receiving an MBMS service via SC-MRB shall apply the SC-MCCH information acquisition procedure upon receiving
a notification that the SC-MCCH information that corresponds with the service that is being received is about to be
changed. The BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE that is receiving an MBMS service via SC-MRB may apply the SC-
MCCH information acquisition procedure upon receiving a notification that the SC-MCCH information is about to be
changed due to start of a new service.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the procedural specification, the SC-MCCH information acquisition procedure
overwrites any stored SC-MCCH information, i.e. delta configuration is not applicable for SC-MCCH information and
the UE discontinues using a field if it is absent in SC-MCCH information unless explicitly specified otherwise.
1> if the procedure is triggered by an SC-MCCH information change notification and the UE has no ongoing
MBMS service:
2> except for a BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE, start acquiring the SCPTMConfiguration message from the
subframe in which the change notification was received;
2> for a BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE, acquire the SCPTMConfiguration message scheduled by the PDCCH
in which the change notification was received;
NOTE 1: The UE continues using the previously received SC-MCCH information until the new SC-MCCH
information has been acquired.
2> except for BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE, start acquiring the SCPTMConfiguration message from the
beginning of each modification period;
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 252 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
2> a BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE shall start acquiring the SCPTMConfiguration message at the start of the
next modification period upon receiving a notification that the SC-MCCH information that corresponds with
the service that is being received is about to be changed;
2> a BL UE, UE in CE or NB-IoT UE may start acquiring the SCPTMConfiguration message at the start of the
next modification period upon receiving a notification that the SC-MCCH information is about to be changed
due to start of a new service;
NOTE: In case the UE is unable to receive an MBMS service via an SC-MRB due to capability limitations, upper
layers may take appropriate action e.g. terminate a lower priority unicast service.
5.8a.3.2 Initiation
The UE applies the SC-MRB establishment procedure to start receiving a session of a MBMS service it has an interest
in. The procedure may be initiated e.g. upon start of the MBMS session, upon entering a cell providing via SC-MRB a
MBMS service in which the UE has interest, upon becoming interested in the MBMS service, upon removal of UE
capability limitations inhibiting reception of the concerned service.
The UE applies the SC-MRB release procedure to stop receiving a session. The procedure may be initiated e.g. upon
stop of the MBMS session, upon leaving the cell where a SC-MRB is established, upon losing interest in the MBMS
service, when capability limitations start inhibiting reception of the concerned service.
1> establish an RLC entity in accordance with the configuration specified in 9.1.1.7;
1> configure a SC-MTCH logical channel applicable for the SC-MRB and instruct MAC to receive DL-SCH on the
cell where the SCPTMConfiguration message was received for the MBMS service for which the SC-MRB is
established and using g-RNTI and sc-mtch-SchedulingInfo (if included) in this message for this MBMS service;
1> configure the physical layer in accordance with the sc-mtch-InfoList, applicable for the SC-MRB, as included in
the SCPTMConfiguration message;
1> inform upper layers about the establishment of the SC-MRB by indicating the corresponding tmgi and sessionId;
1> release the RLC entity as well as the related MAC and physical layer configuration;
1> inform upper layers about the release of the SC-MRB by indicating the corresponding tmgi and sessionId;

5.10 Sidelink
5.10.1 Introduction
The sidelink communication and associated synchronisation resource configuration applies for the frequency at which it
was received/ acquired. Moreover, for a UE configured with one or more SCells, the sidelink communication and
associated synchronisation resource configuration provided by dedicated signalling applies for the PCell/ the primary
frequency. The sidelink discovery and associated synchronisation resource configuration applies for the frequency at
which it was received/ acquired or the indicated frequency in the configuration. For a UE configured with one or more
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 254 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
SCells, the sidelink discovery and associated synchronisation resource configuration provided by dedicated signalling
applies for the PCell/ the primary frequency / any other indicated frequency.
NOTE 1: Upper layers configure the UE to receive or transmit sidelink communication on a specific frequency, to
monitor or transmit non-PS related sidelink discovery announcements on one or more frequencies or to
monitor or transmit PS related sidelink discovery announcements on a specific frequency, but only if the
UE is authorised to perform these particular ProSe related sidelink activities.
NOTE 2: It is up to UE implementation which actions to take (e.g. termination of unicast services, detach) when it
is unable to perform the desired sidelink activities, e.g. due to UE capability limitations.
Sidelink communication consists of one-to-many and one-to-one sidelink communication. One-to-many sidelink
communication consists of relay related and non-relay related one-to-many sidelink communication. One-to-one
sidelink communication consists of relay related and non-relay related one-to-one sidelink communication. In relay
related one-to-one sidelink communication the communicating parties consist of one sidelink relay UE and one sidelink
remote UE.
Sidelink discovery consists of public safety related (PS related) and non-PS related sidelink discovery. PS related
sidelink discovery consists of relay related and non-relay related PS related sidelink discovery. Upper layers indicate to
RRC whether a particular sidelink announcement is PS related or non-PS related.
Upper layers indicate to RRC whether a particular sidelink procedure is V2X related or not.
The specification covers the use of UE to network sidelink relays by specifying the additional requirements that apply
for a sidelink relay UE and a sidelink remote UE. I.e. for such UEs the regular sidelink UE requirements equally apply
unless explicitly stated otherwise.
1> if the UE's serving cell is suitable (RRC_IDLE or RRC_CONNECTED); and if either the selected cell on the
frequency used for sidelink communication operation belongs to the registered or equivalent PLMN as specified
in TS 24.334 [69] or the UE is out of coverage on the frequency used for sidelink communication operation as
defined in TS 36.304 [4, 11.4]; or
1> if the UE is camped on a serving cell (RRC_IDLE) on which it fulfils the conditions to support sidelink
communication in limited service state as specified in TS 23.303 [68, 4.5.6]; and if either the serving cell is on
the frequency used for sidelink communication operation or the UE is out of coverage on the frequency used for
sidelink communication operation as defined in TS 36.304 [4, 11.4]; or
1> if the UE's serving cell is suitable (RRC_IDLE or RRC_CONNECTED); and if either the selected cell on the
frequency used for PS related sidelink discovery operation belongs to the registered or other PLMN as specified

frequency used for non-PS related sidelink discovery operation belongs to the registered or other PLMN as
specified in TS 24.334 [69].
1> if the UE's serving cell is suitable (RRC_IDLE or RRC_CONNECTED); and if either the selected cell on the

the frequency used for V2X sidelink communication operation or the UE is out of coverage on the frequency
used for V2X sidelink communication operation as defined in TS 36.304 [4, 11.4]; or
UE EUTRAN
SidelinkUEInformation
The purpose of this procedure is to inform E-UTRAN that the UE is interested or no longer interested to receive
sidelink communication or discovery, to receive V2X sidelink communication, as well as to request assignment or
release of transmission resources for sidelink communication or discovery announcements or V2X sidelink
communication or sidelink discovery gaps, to report parameters related to sidelink discovery from system information
of inter-frequency/PLMN cells and to report the synchronization reference used by the UE for V2X sidelink
communication.

The purpose of this procedure is to provide synchronisation information to a UE. For sidelink discovery, the
synchronisation information concerns a Sidelink Synchronisation Signal (SLSS) and, in case of PS related discovery,
also timing information and some additional configuration parameters (i.e. the MasterInformationBlock-SL message),
while for sidelink communication or V2X sidelink communication it concerns an SLSS and the
MasterInformationBlock-SL or MasterInformationBlock-SL-V2X message. A UE transmits synchronisation information
either when E-UTRAN configures it to do so by dedicated signalling (i.e. network based), or when not configured by
dedicated signalling (i.e. UE based) and E-UTRAN broadcasts (in coverage) or pre-configures a threshold (out of
coverage).
The synchronisation information transmitted by the UE may be derived from information/ signals received from E-
UTRAN (in coverage) or received from a UE acting as synchronisation reference for the transmitting UE or received
from GNSS. In the remainder, the UE acting as synchronisation reference is referred to as SyncRef UE.

synchronization reference source selected in accordance with 5.10.8.2;
The UE shall determine an identity of the zone (i.e. Zone_id) in which it is located using the following formulae, if
zoneConfig is included in SystemInformationBlockType21 or SystemInformationBlockType26 or in SL-V2X-
Preconfiguration:
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 290 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
Zone_id = y1 * Nx + x1.
x is the geodesic distance in longitude between UE's current location and geographical coordinates (0, 0) according
to WGS84 model [80] and it is expressed in meters;
y is the geodesic distance in latitude between UE's current location and geographical coordinates (0, 0) according to
WGS84 model [80] and it is expressed in meters.
The UE shall select a pool of resources which includes a zoneID equals to the Zone_id calculated according to above
mentioned formulae and indicated by v2x-CommTxPoolNormalDedicated, v2x-CommTxPoolNormalCommon, v2x-
CommTxPoolNormal in v2x-InterFreqInfoList or p2x-CommTxPoolNormal in v2x-InterFreqInfoList in
RRCConnectionReconfiguration, or v2x-CommTxPoolList according to 5.10.13.1.
NOTE 1: The UE uses its latest geographical coordinates to perform resource pool selection.
NOTE 2: If geographical coordinates are not available and zone specific TX resource pools are configured for the
concerned frequency, it is up to UE implementation which resource pool is selected for V2X sidelink
communication transmission.
1> for each frequency used to transmit V2X sidelink communication, select a cell to be used as reference for
synchronisation and DL measurements in accordance with the following:
3> use the PCell (RRC_CONNECTED) or the serving cell (RRC_IDLE) as reference;
3> use the DL frequency paired with the one used to transmit V2X sidelink communication as reference;

The need for fields to be present in a message or an abstract type, i.e., the ASN.1 fields that are specified as
OPTIONAL in the abstract notation (ASN.1), is specified by means of comment text tags attached to the OPTIONAL
statement in the abstract syntax. All comment text tags are available for use in the downlink direction only. The
meaning of each tag is specified in table 6.1-1.
Table 6.1-1: Meaning of abbreviations used to specify the need for fields to be present
Abbreviation Meaning
Cond conditionTag Conditionally present
A field for which the need is specified by means of conditions. For each conditionTag, the
(Used in downlink only) need is specified in a tabular form following the ASN.1 segment. In case, according to the
conditions, a field is not present, the UE takes no action and where applicable shall continue
to use the existing value (and/ or the associated functionality) unless explicitly stated
otherwise (e.g. in the conditional presence table or in the description of the field itself).
Any field with Need ON in system information shall be interpreted as Need OR.
Need codes may not be specified for a parent extension field/ extension group, used in downlink, which includes one or
more child extension fields. Upon absence of such a parent extension field/ extension group, the UE shall:
- For each individual child extension field, including extensions that are mandatory to include in the optional
group, act in accordance with the need code that is defined for the extension;
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 292 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
- Apply this behaviour not only for child extension fields included directly within the optional parent extension
field/ extension group, but also for extension fields defined at further nesting levels as long as for none of the
fields in-between the concerned extension field and the parent extension field a need code is specified;
NOTE 1: The above applies for groups of non critical extensions using double brackets (referred to as extension
groups), as well as non-critical extensions at the end of a message or at the end of a structure contained in
a BIT STRING or OCTET STRING (referred to as parent extension fields).
Need codes, conditions and ASN.1 defaults specified for a particular (child) field only apply in case the (parent) field
including the particular field is present. This rule does not apply for optional parent extension fields/ extension groups
without need codes,
NOTE 2: The previous rule implies that E-UTRAN has to include such a parent extension field to release a child
field that is either:
The handling of need codes as specified in the previous is illustrated by means of an example, as shown in the following
ASN.1.
-- /example/ ASN1START
-- ASN1STOP
- if field2 in RRCMessage-r8-IEs is present but does not include field21, the UE releases field21;
- if the extension group containing field13 is absent, the UE releases field13 and does not modify field14;
- if nonCriticalExtension defined by IE RRCMessage-v8a0-IEs is absent, the UE does not modify field3 and
releases field4;
In the ASN.1 of this specification, the first bit of a bit string refers to the leftmost bit, unless stated otherwise.

NOTE 1: During handover, the UE performs a MAC reset, which involves reverting to the default CQI/ SRS/ SR
configuration in accordance with subclause 5.3.13 and TS 36.321 [6, 5.9 & 5.2]. Hence, for these parts of
the dedicated radio resource configuration, the default configuration (rather than the configuration used in
the source PCell) is used as the basis for the delta signalling that is included in the message used to
perform handover.
NOTE 2: Since delta signalling is not supported for the common SCell configuration, E-UTRAN can only add or
release the uplink of an SCell by releasing and adding the concerned SCell.
– P-Max
The IE P-Max is used to limit the UE's uplink transmission power on a carrier frequency and is used to calculate the
parameter Pcompensation defined in TS 36.304 [4]. Corresponds to parameter PEMAX or PEMAX,c in TS 36.101 [42]. The
UE transmit power on one serving cell shall not exceed the configured maximum UE output power of the serving cell
determined by this value as specified in TS 36.101 [42, 6.2.5 or 6.2.5A] or, when transmitting sidelink discovery
announcements within the coverage of the concerned cell, as specified in TS 36.101 [42, 6.2.5D].

nkaPUCCH-AN-r12 indicates PUCCH format 1a/1b starting offset for the subframe set K A , see TS 36.213 [23,
10.1.3]. E-UTRAN configures nkaPUCCH-AN only if eimta-MainConfig is configured.
nPUCCH-Identity
PUCCH
Parameter: nID , see TS 36.211 [21, 5.5.1.5].
nRB-CQI
(2)
Parameter: N RB , see TS 36.211 [21, 5.4].
numberOfPRB-format4
( 4)
Parameter nPUCCH see TS 36.213 [23, Table 10.1.1-2] for determining PUCCH resource(s) of PUCCH format 4.
n1PUCCH-AN-InfoList
Starting offsets of the PUCCH resource(s) indicated by SIB1-BR. The first entry in the list is the starting offset of the
PUCCH resource(s) of CE level 0, the second entry in the list is the starting offset of the PUCCH resource(s) of CE
level 1, and so on. If E-UTRAN includes n1PUCCH-AN-InfoList, it includes the same number of entries as in prach-
ParametersListCE. See TS 36.213 [23].
pucch-Format
Parameter indicates one of the PUCCH formats for transmission of HARQ-ACK, see TS 36.213 [23, 10.1]. For TDD, if
the UE is configured with PCell only, the channelSelection indicates the transmission of HARQ-ACK multiplexing as
defined in Tables 10.1.3-5, 10.1.3-6, and 10.1.3-7 in TS 36.213 [23] for PUCCH, and in 7.3 in TS 36.213 [23] for
PUSCH. E-UTRAN only configures pucch-Format-v1370 when pucch-Format-r13 is configured and set to format4 or
format5.

NOTE 1: The IE UE-EUTRA-Capability does not include AS security capability information, since these are the
same as the security capabilities that are signalled by NAS. Consequently, AS need not provide "man-in-
the-middle" protection for the security capabilities.
NOTE 2: The column FDD/ TDD diff indicates if the UE is allowed to signal, as part of the additional capabilities
for an XDD mode i.e. within UE-EUTRA-CapabilityAddXDD-Mode-xNM, a different value compared to
the value signalled elsewhere within UE-EUTRA-Capability (i.e. the common value, supported for both
XDD modes). A '-' is used to indicate that it is not possible to signal different values (used for fields for
which the field description is provided for other reasons). Annex E specifies for which TDD and FDD
serving cells a UE supporting TDD/FDD CA shall support a capability for which it indicates support
within the capability signalling.
NOTE 2a: From REL-15 onwards, the UE is not allowed to signal different values for FDD and TDD unless yes is
indicated in column FDD/ TDD diff (i.e. no need to introduce field description solely for the purpose of
indicate no).
NOTE 3: The BandCombinationParameters for the same band combination can be included more than once.
NOTE 4: UE CA and measurement capabilities indicate the combinations of frequencies that can be configured as
serving frequencies.

shown in the table below. The leading / leftmost bit of supportedCellGrouping corresponds to the Bit

nprach-ProbabilityAnchor
Configure the selection probability for the anchor carrier NPRACH resource, see TS 36.321 [6]. Value zero
corresponds to a probability of 0, oneSixteenth corresponds to the probability of 1/16, oneFifteenth corresponds to the
probability of 1/15, and so on.
If the field is absent, the selection probability of the anchor carrier NPRACH resource is 1.
All non-anchor carriers NPRACH resources have equal probability between them.
If there is no NPRACH resource defined on the anchor carrier for one repetition level in nprach-ParametersList-EDT,
(respectively nprach-ParametersListFmt2, nprach-ParametersListFmt2-EDT), the UE shall use the value 'zero' and
ignore the signalled value of nprach-ProbabilityAnchor for this repetition level for the NPRACH resources defined by
nprach-ParametersList-EDT (respectively nprach-ParametersListFmt2, nprach-ParametersListFmt2-EDT).
nprach-ProbabilityAnchorList
Configures the selection probability for each NPRACH resource on the anchor carrier.
E-UTRAN includes the same number of entries, and listed in the same order, as in nprach-ParametersList in
SystemInformationBlockType2-NB.
nprach-StartTime
Start time of the NPRACH resource in one period, see TS 36.211 [21, 10.1.6]. Unit in millisecond. NOTE 1.
nprach-SubcarrierOffset
Frequency location of the NPRACH resource, see TS 36.211 [21, 10.1.6]. In number of subcarriers, offset from sub-
carrier 0. NOTE 1.
nprach-SubcarrierMSG3-RangeStart
Fraction for calculating the starting subcarrier index of the range reserved for indication of UE support for multi-tone
Msg3 transmission, within the NPRACH resource, see TS 36.211 [21, 10.1.6]. Multi-tone Msg3 transmission is not
supported for {32, 64, 128} repetitions of NPRACH. For at least one of the NPRACH resources with the number of
NPRACH repetitions other than {32, 64, 128}, the value of nprach-SubcarrierMSG3-RangeStart should not be 0.
If nprach-SubcarrierMSG3-RangeStart is equal to zero, no start subcarrier index for the single-tone Msg3 NPRACH is
allocated and the start subcarrier indexes for the multi-tone Msg3 NPRACH partition are given by nprach-
SubcarrierOffset + [0, nprach-NumCBRA-StartSubcarriers - 1].
If nprach-SubcarrierMSG3-RangeStart is equal to oneThird or twoThird the start subcarrier indexes for the two
partitions are given by:
nprach-SubcarrierOffset + [0, FLOOR (nprach-NumCBRA-StartSubcarriers * nprach-SubcarrierMSG3-RangeStart) -1]
for the single-tone Msg3 NPRACH partition;
nprach-SubcarrierOffset + [FLOOR (nprach-NumCBRA-StartSubcarriers * nprach-SubcarrierMSG3-RangeStart),
nprach-NumCBRA-StartSubcarriers - 1]
for the multi-tone Msg3 NPRACH partition;
If nprach-SubcarrierMSG3-RangeStart is equal to one, the start subcarrier indexs for the single-tone Msg3 NPRACH
are given by nprach-SubcarrierOffset + [0, nprach-NumCBRA-StartSubcarriers - 1] and no start subcarrier index for
the multi-tone Msg3 NPRACH partition is allocated. NOTE 1.
pagingDistribution
Indicates which DL carriers a UE supporting mixed operation mode monitors for paging.
If the field is present, the UE considers pagingWeigthAnchor being set to w0, i.e. the anchor carrier is not used.
pagingWeight
Weight of the non-anchor paging carrier for uneven paging load distribution across the carriers. Value w1 corresponds
to a relative weight of 1, w2 corresponds to a relative weight of 2, and so on.
The paging load for a carrier 'i' is equal to w(i)/W where i is equal to 0 for the anchor carrier and equal to the index of
the carrier in the dl-ConfigList for a non-anchor carrier, W is the sum of the weights of all paging carriers.
To avoid correlation between paging carrier and paging occasion, the weights should be assigned such that: nB * W
<= 16384.
pagingWeightAnchor
Weight of the anchor carrier for uneven paging load distribution across the carriers. Value w1 corresponds to a relative
weight of 1, w2 corresponds to a relative weight of 2, and so on.
If the field is absent, the (default) value of w0 is applied, i.e. the anchor carrier is not used for paging.
pcch-Config
Configure the PCCH parameters for the non-anchor DL carrier.
tdd-UL-DL-AlignmentOffset
Indicates the offset between the UL carrier frequency center with respect to DL carrier frequency center for the non-
anchor carrier, see TS 36.211 [21].
ul-CarrierFreq
For FDD: UL carrier frequency of the non-anchor carrier as defined in TS 36.101 [42], section 5.7.3F.
For TDD: This field is absent and the uplink carrier frequency is same as the downlink frequency.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 766 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
ul-ConfigList, ul-ConfigListMixed
For FDD: List of UL non-anchor carriers and associated configuration that can be used for random access. E-UTRAN
configures UL non-anchor carriers operating in mixed operation mode only in ul-ConfigListMixed and only a UE that
supports mixed operation mode uses the carriers in ul-ConfigListMixed. A given carrier is either signalled in the ul-
ConfigList or in ul-ConfigListMixed.
If nprach-Distribution is present, the UE supporting mixed operation mode creates the list of UL carriers for random
access by concatenating the entries in ul-ConfigList and ul-ConfigListMixed while maintaining the order among them;
the total number of signalled UL non-anchor carriers cannot be more than maxNonAnchorCarriers-NB-r14.
If nprach-Distribution is absent, the UE supporting mixed operation mode uses /the list of UL carriers for random
access provided in ul-ConfigListMixed.
For TDD: E-UTRAN configures ul-ConfigList-r15 and includes the same number of entries as in dl-ConfigList. The UL
carrier frequency of the non-anchor carrier is same as the DL carrier frequency.
wus-ConfigPerCarrier
Carrier specific WUS Configuration.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 767 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
NOTE 1: If the field is absent in the entry in nprach-ParametersListEDT, the value of the same field in the
corresponding entry of nprach-ParametersList on the same UL carrier applies, if present. Otherwise, the
value of the same field in the corresponding entry of nprach-ParametersList in
SystemInformationBlockType2-NB applies.

The following encoding rules apply in addition to what has been specified in X.691:
- When a bit string value is placed in a bit-field as specified in 15.6 to 15.11 in X.691, the leading bit of the bit
string value shall be placed in the leading bit of the bit-field, and the trailing bit of the bit string value shall be
placed in the trailing bit of the bit-field.
NOTE: The terms 'leading bit' and 'trailing bit' are defined in ITU-T Rec. X.680. When using the 'bstring'
notation, the leading bit of the bit string value is on the left, and the trailing bit of the bit string value is on
the right.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 816 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
- When decoding types constrained with the ASN.1 Contents Constraint ("CONTAINING"), automatic decoding
of the contained type should not be performed because errors in the decoding of the contained type should not
cause the decoding of the entire RRC message PDU to fail. It is recommended that the decoder first decodes the
outer PDU type that contains the OCTET STRING or BIT STRING with the Contents Constraint, and then
decodes the contained type that is nested within the OCTET STRING or BIT STRING as a separate step.
- When decoding a) RRC message PDUs, b) BIT STRING constrained with a Contents Constraint, or c) OCTET
STRING constrained with a Contents Constraint, PER decoders are required to never report an error if there are
extraneous zero or non-zero bits at the end of the encoded RRC message PDU, BIT STRING or OCTET
STRING.
RRC PDUs shall be mapped to and from PDCP SDUs (in case of DCCH) or RLC SDUs (in case of PCCH, BCCH, BR-
BCCH, CCCH or MCCH) upon transmission and reception as follows:
- when delivering an RRC PDU as an PDCP SDU to the PDCP layer for transmission, the first bit of the RRC
PDU shall be represented as the first bit in the PDCP SDU and onwards; and
- when delivering an RRC PDU as an RLC SDU to the RLC layer for transmission, the first bit of the RRC PDU
shall be represented as the first bit in the RLC SDU and onwards; and
- upon reception of an PDCP SDU from the PDCP layer, the first bit of the PDCP SDU shall represent the first bit
of the RRC PDU and onwards; and
- upon reception of an RLC SDU from the RLC layer, the first bit of the RLC SDU shall represent the first bit of
the RRC PDU and onwards.
8.4 Extension
The following rules apply with respect to the use of protocol extensions:
- A transmitter compliant with this version of the specification shall, unless explicitly indicated otherwise on a
PDU type basis, set the extension part empty. Transmitters compliant with a later version may send non-empty

NOTE 1: Value "N/A" indicates that the UE does not apply a specific value (i.e. upon switching to a default
configuration, E-UTRAN can not assume the UE keeps the previously configured value). This implies
that E-UTRAN needs to configure a value before invoking the related functionality.
NOTE 2: In general, the signalling should preferably support a "release" option for fields introduced after v8.5.0.
The "value not applicable" should be used restrictively, mainly limited to for fields which value is
relevant only if another field is set to a value other than its default.

Annex A (informative):
Guidelines, mainly on use of ASN.1
Editor's note No agreements have been reached concerning the extension of RRC PDUs so far. Any statements in
this section about the protocol extension mechanism should be considered as FFS.
A.1 Introduction
The following clauses contain guidelines for the specification of RRC protocol data units (PDUs) with ASN.1.
It should be noted that most of the UE behaviour associated with the reception of a particular field is covered by the
applicable parts of the PDU specification. The procedural specification may also include specific details of the UE
behaviour upon reception of a field, but typically this should be done only for cases that are not easy to capture in the
PDU section e.g. general actions, more complicated actions depending on the value of multiple fields.
Likewise, the procedural specification need not specify the UE requirements regarding the setting of fields within the
messages that are send to E-UTRAN i.e. this may also be covered by the PDU specification.
- Bullets:
- Capitals should be used in the same manner as in other parts of the procedural text i.e. in most cases no
capital applies since the bullets are part of the sentence starting with 'The UE shall:'
- All bullets, including the last one in a sub-clause, should end with a semi-colon i.e. an ';'
- Conditions
- Whenever multiple conditions apply, a semi-colon should be used at the end of each conditions with the
exception of the last one, i.e. as in 'if cond1; or cond2:
The complete ASN.1 code is divided into a number of ASN.1 sections in the specifications. In order to facilitate the
extraction of the complete ASN.1 code from the specification, each ASN.1 section begins with a text paragraph
consisting entirely of an ASN.1 start tag, which consists of a double hyphen followed by a single space and the text
string "ASN1START" (in all upper case letters). Each ASN.1 section ends with a text paragraph consisting entirely of
an ASN.1 stop tag, which consists of a double hyphen followed by a single space and the text "ASN1STOP" (in all
upper case letters):
-- ASN1START

ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 857 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
The text paragraphs containing the ASN.1 start and stop tags should not contain any ASN.1 code significant for the
complete description of the RRC PDU contents. The complete ASN.1 code may be extracted by copying all the text
paragraphs between an ASN.1 start tag and the following ASN.1 stop tag in the order they appear, throughout the
specification.
NOTE: A typical procedure for extraction of the complete ASN.1 code consists of a first step where the entire
RRC PDU contents description (ultimately the entire specification) is saved into a plain text (ASCII) file
format, followed by a second step where the actual extraction takes place, based on the occurrence of the
ASN.1 start and stop tags.
- Message (PDU) identifiers should be ordinary mixed case without hyphenation. These identifiers, e.g., the
RRCConnectionModificationCommand, should be used for reference in the procedure text. Abbreviated forms of
these identifiers should not be used.
- Type identifiers other than PDU identifiers should be ordinary mixed case, with hyphenation used to set off
acronyms only where an adjacent letter is a capital, e.g., EstablishmentCause, SelectedPLMN (not Selected-
PLMN, since the "d" in "Selected" is lowercase), InitialUE-Identity and MeasSFN-SFN-TimeDifference.
- Field identifiers shall start with a lowercase letter and use mixed case thereafter, e.g., establishmentCause. If a
field identifier begins with an acronym (which would normally be in upper case), the entire acronym is
lowercase (plmn-Identity, not pLMN-Identity). The acronym is set off with a hyphen (ue-Identity, not ueIdentity),
in order to facilitate a consistent search pattern with corresponding type identifiers.
- Identifiers that are likely to be keywords of some language, especially widely used languages, such as C++ or
Java, should be avoided to the extent possible.
- Identifiers, other than PDU identifiers, longer than 25 characters should be avoided where possible. It is
recommended to use abbreviations, which should be done in a consistent manner i.e. use 'Meas' instead of
'Measurement' for all occurrences. Examples of typical abbreviations are given in table A.3.1.2.1-1 below.
- For future extension: When an extension is introduced a suffix is added to the identifier of the concerned ASN.1
field and/ or type. A suffix of the form "-rX" is used, with X indicating the release, for ASN.1 fields or types
introduced in a later release (i.e. a release later than the original/ first release of the protocol) as well as for
ASN.1 fields or types for which a revision is introduced in a later release replacing a previous version, e.g., Foo-
r9 for the Rel-9 version of the ASN.1 type Foo. A suffix of the form "-rXb" is used for the first revision of a
field that it appears in the same release (X) as the original version of the field, "-rXc" for a second intra-release
revision and so on. A suffix of the form "-vXYZ" is used for ASN.1 fields or types that only are an extension of
a corresponding earlier field or type (see sub-clause A.4), e.g., AnElement-v10b0 for the extension of the ASN.1
type AnElement introduced in version 10.11.0 of the specification. A number 0...9, 10, 11, etc. is used to
represent the first part of the version number, indicating the release of the protocol. Lower case letters a, b, c,
etc. are used to represent the second (and third) part of the version number if they are greater than 9. In the
procedural specification, in field descriptions as well as in headings suffices are not used, unless there is a clear
need to distinguish the extension from the original field.
- More generally, in case there is a need to distinguish different variants of an ASN.1 field or IE, a suffix should
be added at the end of the identifiers e.g. MeasObjectUTRA, ConfigCommon. When there is no particular need to
distinguish the fields (e.g. because the field is included in different IEs), a common field identifier name may be
used. This may be attractive e.g. in case the procedural specification is the same for the different variants.

3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 858 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
NOTE: The table A.3.1.2.1-1 is not exhaustive. Additional abbreviations may be used in ASN.1 identifiers when
needed.
A reference to an RRC PDU type should be made using the corresponding ASN.1 type identifier followed by the word
"message", e.g., a reference to the RRCConnectionRelease message.
A reference to a specific part of an RRC PDU, or to a specific part of any other ASN.1 type, should be made using the
corresponding ASN.1 field identifier followed by the word "field", e.g., a reference to the prioritisedBitRate field in the
example below.
-- /example/ ASN1START
-- ASN1STOP
NOTE: All the ASN.1 start tags in the ASN.1 sections, used as examples in this annex to the specification, are
deliberately distorted, in order not to include them when the ASN.1 description of the RRC PDU contents
is extracted from the specification.
A reference to a specific type of information element should be made using the corresponding ASN.1 type identifier
preceded by the acronym "IE", e.g., a reference to the IE LogicalChannelConfig in the example above.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 859 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
References to a specific type of information element should only be used when those are generic, i.e., without regard to
the particular context wherein the specific type of information element is used. If the reference is related to a particular
context, e.g., an RRC PDU type (message) wherein the information element is used, the corresponding field identifier in
that context should be used in the text reference.
A reference to a specific value of an ASN.1 field should be made using the corresponding ASN.1 value without using
quotation marks around the ASN.1 value, e.g., 'if the status field is set to value true'.
-- ASN1STOP
A nested two-level CHOICE structure is used, where the alternative PDU types are alternatives within the inner level c1
CHOICE.
Spare alternatives (i.e., spare1 in this case) may be included within the c1 CHOICE to facilitate future extension. The
number of such spare alternatives should not extend the total number of alternatives beyond an integer-power-of-two
number of alternatives (i.e., eight in this case).
Further extension of the number of alternative PDU types is facilitated using the messageClassExtension alternative in
the outer level CHOICE.
-- ASN1STOP
Hooks for critical and non-critical extension should normally be included in the PDU type specification. How these
hooks are used is further described in sub-clause A.4.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 860 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
Critical extensions are characterised by a redefinition of the PDU contents and need to be governed by a mechanism for
protocol version agreement between the encoder and the decoder of the PDU, such that the encoder is prevented from
sending a critically extended version of the PDU type, which is not comprehended by the decoder.
Critical extension of a PDU type is facilitated by a two-level CHOICE structure, where the alternative PDU contents are
alternatives within the inner level c1 CHOICE. Spare alternatives (i.e., spare3 down to spare1 in this case) may be
included within the c1 CHOICE. The number of spare alternatives to be included in the original PDU specification
should be decided case by case, based on the expected rate of critical extension in the future releases of the protocol.
Further critical extension, when the spare alternatives from the original specifications are used up, is facilitated using
the criticalExtensionsFuture in the outer level CHOICE.
In PDU types where critical extension is not expected in the future releases of the protocol, the inner level c1 CHOICE
and the spare alternatives may be excluded, as shown in the example below.
-- /example/ ASN1START
-- ASN1STOP
Non-critical extensions are characterised by the addition of new information to the original specification of the PDU
type. If not comprehended, a non-critical extension may be skipped by the decoder, whilst the decoder is still able to
complete the decoding of the comprehended parts of the PDU contents.
Non-critical extensions at locations other than the end of the message or other than at the end of a field contained in a
BIT or OCTET STRING are facilitated by use of the ASN.1 extension marker "...". The original specification of a PDU
type should normally include the extension marker at the end of the sequence of information elements contained.
Non-critical extensions at the end of the message or at the end of a field that is contained in a BIT or OCTET STRING
are facilitated by use of an empty sequence that is marked OPTIONAL e.g. as shown in the following example:
-- /example/ ASN1START
-- ASN1STOP
The ASN.1 section specifying the contents of a PDU type may be followed by a field description table where a further
description of, e.g., the semantic properties of the fields may be included. The general format of this table is shown in
the example below. The field description table is absent in case there are no fields for which further description needs to
be provided e.g. because the PDU does not include any fields, or because an IE is defined for each field while there is
nothing specific regarding the use of this IE that needs to be specified.
The field description table has one column. The header row shall contain the ASN.1 type identifier of the PDU type.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 861 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
The following rows are used to provide field descriptions. Each row shall include a first paragraph with a field identifier
(in bold and italic font style) referring to the part of the PDU to which it applies. The following paragraphs at the same
row may include (in regular font style), e.g., semantic description, references to other specifications and/ or
specification of value units, which are relevant for the particular part of the PDU.
The parts of the PDU contents that do not require a field description shall be omitted from the field description table.
-- ASN1STOP
IEs should be introduced whenever there are multiple fields for which the same set of values apply. IEs may also be
defined for other reasons e.g. to break down a ASN.1 definition in to smaller pieces.
A group of closely related IE type definitions, like the IEs PRACH-ConfigSIB and PRACH-Config in this example, are
preferably placed together in a common ASN.1 section. The IE type identifiers should in this case have a common base,
defined as the generic type identifier. It may be complemented by a suffix to distinguish the different variants. The
"PRACH-Config" is the generic type identifier in this example, and the "SIB" suffix is added to distinguish the variant.
The sub-clause heading and generic references to a group of closely related IEs defined in this way should use the
generic type identifier.
The same principle should apply if a new version, or an extension version, of an existing IE is created for critical or
non-critical extension of the protocol (see sub-clause A.4). The new version, or the extension version, of the IE is
included in the same ASN.1 section defining the original. A suffix is added to the type identifier, using the naming
conventions defined in sub-clause A.3.1.2, indicating the release or version of the where the new version, or extension
version, was introduced.
Local IE type definitions, like the IE PRACH-ConfigInfo in the example above, may be included in the ASN.1 section
and be referenced in the other IE types defined in the same ASN.1 section. The use of locally defined IE types should
be encouraged, as a tool to break up large and complex IE type definitions. It can improve the readability of the code.
There may also be a benefit for the software implementation of the protocol end-points, as these IE types are typically
provided by the ASN.1 compiler as independent data elements, to be used in the software implementation.
An IE type defined in a local context, like the IE PRACH-ConfigInfo, should not be referenced directly from other
ASN.1 sections in the RRC specification. An IE type which is referenced in more than one ASN.1 section should be
defined in a separate sub-clause, with a separate heading and a separate ASN.1 section (possibly as one in a set of
closely related IE types, like the IEs PRACH-ConfigSIB and PRACH-Config in the example above). Such IE types are
also referred to as 'global IEs'.
NOTE: Referring to an IE type, that is defined as a local IE type in the context of another ASN.1 section, does not
generate an ASN.1 compilation error. Nevertheless, using a locally defined IE type in that way makes the
IE type definition difficult to find, as it would not be visible at an outline level of the specification. It
should be avoided.
The ASN.1 section specifying the contents of one or more IE types, like in the example above, may be followed by a
field description table, where a further description of, e.g., the semantic properties of the fields of the information
elements may be included. This table may be absent, similar as indicated in sub-clause A.3.3 for the specification of the
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 862 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
PDU type. The general format of the field description table is the same as shown in sub-clause A.3.3 for the
specification of the PDU type.
-- ASN1STOP
Alternatively, a field with optional presence may be declared with the keyword OPTIONAL. It identifies a field for
which a value can be omitted. The omission carries semantics, which is different from any normal value of the field:
-- /example/ ASN1START
-- ASN1STOP
The semantics of an optionally present field, in the case it is omitted, should be indicated at the end of the paragraph
including the keyword OPTIONAL, using a short comment text with a need statement. The need statement includes the
keyword "Need", followed by one of the predefined semantics tags (OP, ON or OR) defined in sub-clause 6.1. If the
semantics tag OP is used, the semantics of the absent field are further specified either in the field description table
following the ASN.1 section, or in procedure text.
The addition of OPTIONAL keywords for capability groups is based on the following guideline. If there is more than
one field in the lower level IE, then OPTIONAL keyword is added at the group level. If there is only one field in the
lower level IE, OPTIONAL keyword is not added at the group level.
-- ASN1STOP
When conditionally present fields are included in an ASN.1 section, the field description table after the ASN.1 section
shall be followed by a conditional presence table. The conditional presence table specifies the conditions for including
the fields with conditional presence in the particular ASN.1 section.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 863 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
The conditional presence table has two columns. The first column (heading: "Conditional presence") contains the
condition tag (in italic font style), which links the fields with a condition tag in the ASN.1 section to an entry in the
table. The second column (heading: "Explanation") contains a text specification of the conditions and requirements for
the presence of the field. The second column may also include semantics, in case of an optional presence of the field,
under certain conditions i.e. using the same predefined tags as defined for optional fields in A.3.5.
Conditional presence should primarily be used when presence of a field despends on the presence and/ or value of other
fields within the same message. If the presence of a field depends on whether another feature/ function has been
configured, while this function can be configured indepedently e.g. by another message and/ or at another point in time,
the relation is best reflected by means of a statement in the field description table.
If the ASN.1 section does not include any fields with conditional presence, the conditional presence table shall not be
included.
Whenever a field is only applicable in specific cases e.g. TDD, use of conditional presence should be considered.
For example, a list of PLMN identities with reservation flags is defined as in the following example:
-- /example/ ASN1START
-- ASN1STOP
rather than as in the following (bad) example, which may cause generated code to contain types with unpredictable
names:
-- /bad example/ ASN1START
-- ASN1STOP
- Introduction of new PDU types (i.e. these should not cause unexpected behaviour or damage).
- Introduction of additional fields in an extensible PDUs (i.e. it should be possible to ignore uncomprehended
extensions without affecting the handling of the other parts of the message).
- Introduction of additional values of an extensible field of PDUs. If used, the behaviour upon reception of an
uncomprehended value should be defined.
It should be noted that the PDU extension mechanism may depend on the logical channel used to transfer the message
e.g. for some PDUs an implementation may be aware of the protocol version of the peer in which case selective
ignoring of extensions may not be required.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 864 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
The non-critical extension mechanism is the primary mechanism for introducing protocol extensions i.e. the critical
extension mechanism is used merely when there is a need to introduce a 'clean' message version. Such a need appears
when the last message version includes a large number of non-critical extensions, which results in issues like
readability, overhead associated with the extension markers. The critical extension mechanism may also be considered
when it is complicated to accommodate the extensions by means of non-critical extension mechanisms.
The "inner branch" structure is a CHOICE with values of the form "MessageName-rX-IEs" (e.g.,
"RRCConnectionReconfiguration-r8-IEs") or "spareX", with the spare values having type NULL. The "-rX-IEs"
structures contain the complete structure of the message IEs for the appropriate release; i.e., the critical extension
branch for the Rel-10 version of a message includes all Rel-8 and Rel-9 fields (that are not obviated in the later
version), rather than containing only the additional Rel-10 fields.
The following guidelines may be used when deciding which mechanism to introduce for a particular message, i.e. only
an 'outer branch', or an 'outer branch' in combination with an 'inner branch' including a certain number of spares:
- For certain messages, e.g. initial uplink messages, messages transmitted on a broadcast channel, critical
extension may not be applicable.
- An outer branch may be sufficient for messages not including any fields.
- The number of spares within inner branch should reflect the likelihood that the message will be critically
extended in future releases (since each release with a critical extension for the message consumes one of the
spare values). The estimation of the critical extension likelyhood may be based on the number, size and
changeability of the fields included in the message.
- In messages where an inner branch extension mechanism is available, all spare values of the inner branch should
be used before any critical extensions are added using the outer branch.
The following example illustrates the use of the critical extension mechanism by showing the ASN.1 of the original and
of a later release
-- /example/ ASN1START -- Original release
-- ASN1STOP
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 865 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
},
criticalExtensionsFuture SEQUENCE {}
}
}
}
-- ASN1STOP
It is important to note that critical extensions may also be used at the level of individual fields i.e. a field may be
replaced by a critically extended version. When sending the extended version, the original version may also be included
(e.g. original field is mandatory, EUTRAN is unaware if UE supports the extended version). In such cases, a UE
supporting both versions may be required to ignore the original field. The following example illustrates the use of the
critical extension mechanism by showing the ASN.1 of the original and of a later release
-- /example/ ASN1START -- Original release
-- ASN1STOP
Finally, it is noted that a critical extension may be introduced in the same release as the one in which the original field
was introduced e.g. to correct an essential ASN.1 error. In such cases a UE capability may be introduced, to assist E-
UTRAN in deciding whether or not to use the critically extension.
- When further non-critical extensions are added to a message that has been critically extended, the inclusion of
these non-critical extensions in earlier critical branches of the message should be avoided when possible.
- The extension marker ("…") is the primary non-critical extension mechanism that is used unless a length
determinant is not required. Examples of cases where a length determinant is not required:
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 866 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
- When an extension marker is available, non-critical extensions are preferably placed at the location (e.g. the IE)
where the concerned parameter belongs from a logical/ functional perspective (referred to as the 'default
extension location')
- It is desirable to aggregate extensions of the same release or version of the specification into a group, which
should be placed at the lowest possible level.
- In specific cases it may be preferrable to place extensions elsewhere (referred to as the 'actual extension
location') e.g. when it is possible to aggregate several extensions in a group. In such a case, the group should be
placed at the lowest suitable level in the message. <TBD: ref to seperate example>
- In case placement at the default extension location affects earlier critical branches of the message, locating the
extension at a following higher level in the message should be considered.
- In case an extension is not placed at the default extension location, an IE should be defined. The IE's ASN.1
definition should be placed in the same ASN.1 section as the default extension location. In case there are
intermediate levels in-between the actual and the default extension location, an IE may be defined for each level.
Intermediate levels are primarily introduced for readability and overview. Hence intermediate levels need not
allways be introduced e.g. they may not be needed when the default and the actual extension location are within
the same ASN.1 section. <TBD: ref to seperate example>
- Extension markers are primarily, but not exclusively, introduced at the higher nesting levels
- Extension markers are introduced for a SEQUENCE comprising several fields as well as for information
elements whose extension would result in complex structures without it (e.g. re-introducing another list)
- Extension markers are introduced to make it possible to maintain important information structures e.g.
parameters relevant for one particular RAT
- Extension markers are also used for size critical messages (i.e. messages on BCCH, BR-BCCH, PCCH and
CCCH), although introduced somewhat more carefully
- The extension fields introduced (or frozen) in a specific version of the specification are grouped together
using double brackets.
- Spare values are used until the number of values reaches the next power of 2, while the extension marker
caters for extension beyond that limit
- A suffix of the form "vXYZ" is used for the identifier of each new value, e.g. "value-vXYZ".
- Extension markers are introduced when extension is foreseen and when comprehension is not required by the
receiver i.e. behaviour is defined for the case where the receiver cannot comprehend the extended value (e.g.
ignoring an optional CHOICE field). It should be noted that defining the behaviour of a receiver upon
receiving a not comprehended choice value is not required if the sender is aware whether or not the receiver
supports the extended value.
- A suffix of the form "vXYZ" is used for the identifier of each new choice value, e.g. "choice-vXYZ".
Non-critical extensions at the end of a message/ of a field contained in an OCTET or BIT STRING:
- When a nonCriticalExtension is actually used, a "Need" statement should not be provided for the field, which
always is a group including at least one extension and a field facilitating further possible extensions. For
simplicity, it is recommended not to provide a "Need" statement when the field is not actually used either.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 867 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
- In case a need statement is not provided for a group, a "Need" statement is provided for all individual extension
fields within the group i.e. including for fields that are not marked as OPTIONAL. The latter is to clarify the
action upon absence of the whole group.
NOTE In case there is a need to support further extensions of release n while the ASN.1 of release (n+1) has
been frozen, without requiring the release n receiver to support decoding of release (n+1) extensions,
more advanced mechanisms are needed e.g. including multiple extension markers.
-- /example/ ASN1START
-- ASN1STOP
Some remarks regarding the extensions of InformationElement1 as shown in the above example:
– The InformationElement1 is initially extended with a number of non-critical extensions. In release 10 however, a
critical extension is introduced for the message using this IE. Consequently, a new version of the IE
InformationElement1 (i.e. InformationElement1-r10) is defined in which the earlier non-critical extensions are
incorporated by means of a revision of the original field.
– The value4-v880 is replacing a spare value defined in the original protocol version for field1. Likewise value6-
v1170 replaces spare3 that was originally defined in the r10 version of field1
– Within the critically extended release 10 version of InformationElement1, the names of the original fields/ IEs
are not changed, unless there is a real need to distinguish them from other fields/ IEs. E.g. the field1 and
InformationElement4 were defined in the original protocol version (release 8) and hence not tagged. Moreover,
the field3-r9 is introduced in release 9 and not re-tagged; although, the InformationElement3 is also critically
extended and therefore tagged InformationElement3-r10 in the release 10 version of InformationElement1.

3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 868 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
-- ASN1STOP
– The InformationElement4 is introduced in the original version of the protocol (release 8) and hence no suffix is
used.
– ParentIE-WithEM
The IE ParentIE-WithEM is an example of a high level IE including the extension marker (EM). The root encoding of
this IE includes two lower level IEs ChildIE1-WithoutEM and ChildIE2-WithoutEM which not include the extension
marker. Consequently, non-critical extensions of the Child-IEs have to be included at the level of the Parent-IE.
The example illustrates how the two extension IEs ChildIE1-WithoutEM-vNx0 and ChildIE2-WithoutEM-vNx0 (both in
release N) are used to connect non-critical extensions with a default extension location in the lower level IEs to the
actual extension location in this IE.
-- ASN1STOP
– The fields childIEx-WithoutEM-vNx0 may not really need to be optional (depends on what is defined at the next
lower level).
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 869 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
– In general, especially when there are several nesting levels, fields should be marked as optional only when there
is a clear reason.
– ChildIE1-WithoutEM
The IE ChildIE1-WithoutEM is an example of a lower level IE, used to control certain radio configurations including a
configurable feature which can be setup or released using the local IE ChIE1-ConfigurableFeature. The example
illustrates how the new field chIE1-NewField is added in release N to the configuration of the configurable feature. The
example is based on the following assumptions:
– when initially configuring as well as when modifying the new field, the original fields of the configurable feature
have to be provided also i.e. as if the extended ones were present within the setup branch of this feature.
– when the configurable feature is released, the new field should be released also.
– when omitting the original fields of the configurable feature the UE continues using the existing values (which is
used to optimise the signalling for features that typically continue unchanged upon handover).
– when omitting the new field of the configurable feature the UE releases the existing values and discontinues the
associated functionality (which may be used to support release of unsupported functionality upon handover to an
eNB supporting an earlier protocol version).
The above assumptions, which affect the use of conditions and need codes, may not always apply. Hence, the example
should not be re-used blindly.
-- ASN1STOP
– ChildIE2-WithoutEM
The IE ChildIE2-WithoutEM is an example of a lower level IE, typically used to control certain radio configurations.
The example illustrates how the new field chIE1-NewField is added in release N to the configuration of the
configurable feature.

The following miscellaneous conventions should be used:
- References: Whenever another specification is referenced, the specification number and optionally the relevant
subclause, table or figure, should be indicated in addition to the pointer to the References section e.g. as follows:
'see TS 36.212 [22, 5.3.3.1.6]'.
- UE capabilities: TS 36.306 [5] specifies that E-UTRAN should in general respect the UE's capabilities. Hence
there is no need to include statement clarifying that E-UTRAN, when setting the value of a certain configuration
field, shall respect the related UE capabilities unless there is a particular need e.g. particularly complicated cases.

B.1 Feature group indicators
This annex contains the definitions of the bits in fields featureGroupIndicators (in Table B.1-1) and
featureGroupIndRel9Add (in Table B.1-1a).
In this release of the protocol, the UE shall include the fields featureGroupIndicators in the IE UE-EUTRA-Capability

featureGroupIndicators defined in Table B.1-1 or Table B.1-1a are mandatory for the UE (with exceptions for category
M1 and M2 UEs), if the related capability (frequency band, RAT, SR-VCC or Inter-RAT ANR) is also supported. For a

Clarification for mobility from EUTRAN and inter-frequency handover within EUTRAN
There are several feature groups related to mobility from E-UTRAN and inter-frequency handover within EUTRAN.
The description of these features is based on the assumption that we have 5 main "functions" related to mobility from E-
UTRAN:
All functions can be applied for mobility to Inter-frequency to EUTRAN, GERAN, UTRAN, CDMA2000 HRPD and
CDMA2000 1xRTT except for function C) which is only applicable for mobility to GERAN. Table B.1-2 below
summarises the mobility functions that are supported based on the UE capability signaling (band support) and the
setting of the feature group support indicators.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.331 version 15.3.0 Release 15 883 ETSI TS 136 331 V15.3.0 (2018-10)
In case measurements and reporting function is not supported by UE, the network may still issue the mobility
procedures redirection (B) and CCO (C) in a blind fashion.
Additional CSG functionality in AS, i.e. the requirement to detect and camp on CSG cells when the "CSG whitelist" is
available or when manual CSG selection is triggered by the user, are related to the corresponding NAS features. This
additional AS functionality consists of:
It is possible that this additional CSG functionality in AS is not supported or tested in early UE implementations.
Note that since the above AS features relate to idle mode operations, the capability support is not signalled to the
network. For these reasons, no "feature group indicator" is assigned to this feature to indicate early support in Rel-8.

Release 10 AS feature handling
C.1 Feature group indicators
This annex contains the definitions of the bits in field featureGroupIndRel10.
In this release of the protocol, the UE shall include the field featureGroupIndRel10 in the IE UE-EUTRA-Capability-
v1020-IEs. All the functionalities defined within the field featureGroupIndRel10 defined in Table C.1-1 are mandatory
for the UE, if the related capability (spatial multiplexing in UL, PDSCH transmission mode 9, carrier aggregation,
handover to EUTRA, or RAT) is also supported. For a specific indicator, if all functionalities for a feature group listed
in Table C.1-1 have been implemented and tested, the UE shall set the indicator as one (1), else (i.e. if any one of the
functionalities in a feature group listed in Table C.1-1 have not been implemented or tested), the UE shall set the
indicator as zero (0).
The UE shall set all indicators that correspond to RATs not supported by the UE as zero (0).
The UE shall set all indicators, which do not have a definition in Table C.1-1, as zero (0).
If the optional field featureGroupIndRel10 is not included by a UE of a future release, the network may assume that all
features, listed in Table C.1-1 and deployed in the network, have been implemented and tested by the UE.
The indexing in Table C.1-1 starts from index 101, which is the leftmost bit in the field featureGroupIndRel10.

Descriptive background information
D.1 Signalling of Multiple Frequency Band Indicators (Multiple
FBI)
D.1.1 Mapping between frequency band indicator and multiple frequency
band indicator
This subclause describes the use of the Multiple Frequency Band Indicator (MFBI) lists and the E-UTRA frequency
bands in SystemInformationBlockType1 by means of an example as shown in Figure D.1.1-1. In this example:
- E-UTRAN cell belongs to band B90 and also bands B6, B7, B91, and B92.
- For the MFBI list of this cell, E-UTRAN uses B64 in MultiBandInfoList to indicate the position and priority of
the bands in MultiBandInfoList-v9e0.
- The UE, after reading SystemInformationBlockType1, generates an MFBI list with priority of B91, B6, B92, and
B7. If the UE supports the frequency band in the freqBandIndicator-v9e0 IE it applies that frequency band.
Otherwise, the UE applies the first listed band in the MFBI list which it supports.
- E-UTRAN includes 4 frequencies (EARFCNs): the bands associated with f1 and f4 belong to bands lower than
64; the bands associated with f2 and f3 belong to bands larger than 64. The reserved EARFCN value of 65535 is
used to indicate the presence of ARFCN-ValueEUTRA-v9e0.
- The band associated with f1 has two overlapping bands, B1 and B2 (lower than 64); the band associated with f2
has one overlapping band, B91; the band associated with f3 has four overlapping bands B3, B4, B92, and B93;
the band associated with f4 does not have overlapping bands.

duplex mode;
- SCell: the UE shall support the feature for SCell(s), if the UE indicates support of the feature for the SCell
duplex mode;
- Per serving cell: the UE shall support the feature for a serving cell if the UE indicates support of the feature
for the serving cell's duplex mode;
- All serving cells: UE shall support the feature if the UE indicates support of the feature for both TDD and
FDD duplex modes;
- For the fields where the UE is not allowed to indicate different support for FDD and TDD, the UE shall support

Annex F (normative):
UE requirements on ASN.1 comprehension
This subclause specifies UE requirements regarding the ASN.1 transfer syntax support i.e. the ASN.1 definitions to be
comprehended by the UE.
A UE that indicates release X in field accessStratumRelease shall comprehend the entire transfer syntax (ASN.1) of
release X, in particular at least the first version upon ASN.1 freeze. The UE is however not required to support
dedicated signalling related transfer syntax associated with optional features it does not support.
In case a UE that indicates release X in field accessStratumRelease supports a feature specified in release X+ N (i.e.
early UE implementation) additional requirements apply.
If the early implemented feature involves one or more critical extensions (i.e. case of dedicated signaling), the UE shall
comprehend the parts of the transfer syntax (ASN.1) of release X+ N that are related to the feature implemented early.
This in particular concerns the ASN.1 parts related to configuration of the feature. The UE obviously also has to support
the ASN.1 parts related to indicating support of the feature (in UE capabilities).
If configuration of an early implemented feature introduced in release X+ N involves a message or field that has been
critically extended, the UE shall support configuration of all features supported by the UE that are associated with sub-
fields of this critical extension. Apart from the early implemented feature(s), the UE need however not support
functionality beyond what is defined in the release the UE indicates in access stratum release.
Let's consider the example of a UE indicating value X in field accessStratumRelease that supports the features
associated with fields A1, A3 and A5 of InformationElementA (see ASN.1 below). The feature implemented early is
associated with field A5, and can only be configured by the –rX+N version of InformationElementA. In such case, the
UE should support configuration of the features associated with fields A1, A3 and A5 by the –rX+N version of
InformationElementA. If however one of the features was modified, e.g. the feature associated with fieldA3, E-UTRAN
should assume the UE only supports the feature according to the release it indicated in field accessStratumRelease (X).
I.e. UE is neither required to support the additional code-point (n80-vX+N0) nor the additional sub-field (fieldA3a).
InformationElementA-rX ::= SEQUENCE {
fieldA1-rX InformationElementA1-rX OPTIONAL, -- Need ON
fieldA2-rX InformationElementA2-rX OPTIONAL, -- Need OR
fieldA3-rX InformationElementA3-rX OPTIONAL -- Need OR
}
If the early implemented feature involves one or more non-critical extensions in broadcast signaling (i.e. system
information), the UE shall comprehend the parts of the transfer syntax (ASN.1) of release X+ N that are related to the
feature implemented early. The SIB(s) containing the release X+ N fields related to the early implemented features may
also include other extensions concerning releases from X upto X+N. The UE shall comprehend such intermediate fields
(but again is not required to support the functionality associated with these intermediate fields, in case this concerns
optional features not supported by the UE).
