Radio Resource Control definition

Radio Resource Control or “RRC” means a sub layer of radio interface Layer 3 existing in the control plane which provides information transfer service to the Non-Access Stratum and is responsible for controlling the configuration of radio interface Layers 1 and 2;

Examples of Radio Resource Control in a sentence

  • KASME is used in subsequent procedures for deriving further keys for the protection of the user plane, Radio Resource Control signalling, and Non-Access Stra- tum signaling [29].

  • This step is triggered after the UE completes the Radio Resource Control (RRC) procedure with gNB and sends an Attach Request message to the Mobility Management Entities (MME).

  • In particular this can be signalled in two ways: • by means of a proper Radio Resource Control (RRC) message (LTE Rel-8): for example the switching between SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO can be realized by changing TM4 and TM5 involving RRC signalling, with a latency that makes it unfeasible to follow fast fading characteristics; • by exploiting a fast signalling exchange over the control channel (LTE-Advanced and beyond), potentially in real-time and with a fixed latency of 1 Time Transmission Interval (TTI).

  • Its primary objective is to report the initial conclusions on the design of the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol for the 5G RAN, including its state model and procedures associated to mobility and initial access.
