Connection management in the LTE system involves management of the connections
between the UE, eNodeB, and MME. The connection management is performed in both
control plane and user plane.
Essentially ,the signaling connection is the precondition for all the service procedures, it is
always setup firstly.
The initial signaling connection is without security.

The control plane messages are terminated in eNodeB or MME.The signaling connection
between UE and eNodeB is RRC connection, The initial signaling connection is without
security.After the security establishment, a S1 dedicated connection is setup.
The signaling between UE and MME is called NAS signaling.
Actually, there is no a direct connection between the UE and MME, so the NAS signaling
transmission is based on the RRC connection and S1 interface dedicated signaling
connection .

In the user plane, the services between a UE and a Packet Data Network (PDN)-Gateway
(GW) with the same QoS class are referred to as an Evolved Packet System (EPS) bearer. In
the EPS bearer, the section between the UE and the eNodeB is called RB, and the section
between the eNodeB and the Serving Gateway (S-GW) is S1 bearer. RB and S1 bearer are
collectively referred to as E-RAB.

The procedure for setting up all the connections is shown in the slide:
RA is triggered by a UE when the UE needs to communicate with the network for
purposes such as service request, location update, and paging.
After the RA procedure is complete, the connection between the UE and the MME
in the control plane is started. Connection in the control plane consists of Radio
Resource Control (RRC) signaling connection and dedicated S1 connection.
After the connection in the control plane is complete, the MME causes the eNodeB
to establish E-UTRAN Radio Access Bearer (E-RAB) in the case of service request.
Through RB management, the eNodeB establishes, modifies, and releases the E-
RAB.

Random access is always the first step in the connection setup procedure. It is also useful
in some other scenarios such as handover.
We call random access “RA” for short, RA is performed before a UE begins to
communicate with the network. During RA, a UE requests access to the system, and then
the system responds to the request and allocates a Random Access Channel (RACH).
Through the RA procedure, the UE can obtain the uplink synchronization signals from the
network and request dedicated resources for data transmission.
LTE eRAN2.1 Connection Management Feature

RA is performed in the following scenarios:
Case 1: initial RRC connection establishment. When a UE is changed from
RRC_IDLE mode to RRC_CONNECTED mode, the UE initiates RA.
Case 2: RRC connection reestablishment. When a radio link fails, the UE needs to
reestablish RRC connection. In this case, the UE initiates RA.
Case 3: handover. When a UE performs handover, the UE initiates RA in the target
cell.
Case 4: downlink data arrival. When an eNodeB needs to transmit downlink data
to a UE in RRC_CONNECTED mode and finds that the UE is in the uplink
synchronization loss state, the eNodeB instructs the UE to initiate RA.
Case 5: uplink data arrival. When a UE in RRC_CONNECTED mode needs to
transmit uplink data to an eNodeB and finds that it is in the uplink synchronization
loss state, the UE initiates RA.

Depending on whether contention is introduced, the RA procedure can be categorized
into the following types:
Contention-based RA: The access preambles are generated by UEs, and there may
be conflicts among the preambles. Therefore, the eNodeB needs to resolve the
contention for UE access. Case 1, case 2, and case 5 are contention-based RA.
Non-contention-based RA: The access preambles are allocated to UEs by the
eNodeB, and each preamble is dedicated to a UE. Therefore, there are no
preamble conflicts. When the dedicated preambles that are allocated by the
eNodeB are used up, non-contention-based RA becomes contention-based RA.
Case 3, case 4 and case 6 are non-contention-based RA.
The RACH is used only for the transmission of RA preambles. The preambles are handled in
the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. Therefore, no corresponding logical channel is
available for the preambles. The Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) bears the RACH.
The PRACH has fixed time and frequency resources, which can be obtained from the
common channel configuration parameters in the System Information Block-2 (SIB2).

The procedure is divided into four steps:
UE transmitting an RA preamble,
Upon receiving the preamble, the eNodeB applies for Temporary Cell RNTI (C-RNTI)
and uplink and downlink scheduling resources, then send to the UE.
The UE transmits uplink scheduled data over the UL-SCH, the data could be “RRC
Connection Request”.
The contention resolution is generated in the RRC layer. Then, the eNodeB
transmits the contention resolution to the UE through the CCCH or DCCH over the
DL-SCH, such as “RRC Setup Complete”.
For contention-based RA, the UE directly uploads an RA preamble if the PRACH
configuration is specified and does not expire. If it expires or is not specified, the UE must
obtain the PRACH configuration.

The UE transmits an RA preamble over the PRACH with the transmit power of PPRACH。
RA preamble is a burst of bits, it includes:
Cyclic Prefix (CP)
The length of a CP is Tcp
preamble sequence
The length of a preamble sequence is Tseq

There are five RA preamble formats, which are used for cells of different radii. LTE FDD
supports preamble formats 0-3, and LTE TDD supports preamble formats 0-4. The
preamble format can be set through the PreambleFmt parameter, and the cell radius can
be set through the CellRadius parameter.

Each cell has 64 preamble sequence
The is defined by a cyclic shift of the Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence. The logical index of the ZC
sequence is determined by RootSequenceIdx, whose value ranges from 0 to 837. The
logical index of the ZC sequence is cyclic. That is, the logical index 0 is consecutive to 837.
The number of dig
its for cyclic shifts is determined by the eNodeB according to the cell type and cell radius.
The logical index of the ZC sequence and configured cyclic shift value are transmitted in
the PRACH configurations in the SIB2.
the 64 preamble sequences are divided into the random preamble sequence group and
dedicated preamble sequence group. To improve uplink resource allocation, the random
preamble sequence groups are further divided into preamble sequence group A and
preamble sequence group B.
The Contention-based Random Access can choose the random preamble group sequence
only.
When the UE obtains the PRACH configuration, RA preamble sequence group B is selected
if the following conditions are met, or RA preamble sequence group A is selected if any of
the following conditions is not met:
Random preamble sequence group B exists.
The size of the transport block msg3 in the scheduled data transmission is larger
than the threshold of random preamble sequence group A.
The path loss is smaller than the corresponding threshold.
After a random preamble sequence group is selected, a preamble in the group has an even
probability to be selected.
In the system information, The RACH-related parameters consist of the number of random
preamble sequences and proportion of random preamble sequence group A.

Upon receiving the UE preamble, the eNodeB transmits an RA response over the Downlink
Shared Channel (DL-SCH).
the UE monitors the Physical Dedicated Control Channel (PDCCH) in the Transmission Time
Interval (TTI) until it obtains the required RA response.
The response contains RA-Preamble Identifier, Timing Alignment Information, Initial UL
Grant, and Temporary C-RNTI.
A message on the DL-SCH can carry multiple RA responses to be transmitted to multiple
use.
For the UE ;
If the received RA-Preamble Identifier is consistent with the identifier that the UE
previously sent, the UE infers that the response is successful. Then, the UE
transmits uplink scheduled data.
If the UE does not receive a response within the TTI, or if all received RA responses
contain RA preamble identifiers that do not match the transmitted RA preamble,
the UE infers that the response reception fails. Then, the UE performs RA again if
the number of RA attempts is smaller than the maximum number of attempts. If
the number of RA attempts is not smaller, the RA procedure fails.

With the grant ,the UE transmits uplink scheduled data over the UL-SCH. The scheduled
data could be “RRC Connection Setup Request” message.
The size of the transport block, which is not smaller than 80 bits, is specified in the
preamble. The carried signaling and information in the transport block vary according to
the RA scenario:
Initial RRC connection establishment.The RRC Connection Request message is
transmitted over the CCCH in TM in the RLC layer. NAS UE_ID is carried in the
message, and the message is not segmented.
RRC connection reestablishment. The RRC Connection Reestablishment message is
transmitted in TM in the RLC layer. The message is not segmented, and the NAS message
is not carried in the message.
Target cell access that is contention-based during a handover procedure without a
dedicated RA preamble. The RRC Handover Confirm message and C-RNTI are transmitted
over the DCCH, and if required, Buffer Status Report (BSR) is also carried.
For other scenarios,At least C-RNTI of the UE is transmitted.

The contention resolution is generated in the RRC layer. Then, the eNodeB transmits the
contention resolution to the UE through the CCCH or DCCH over the DL-SCH.
After the UE receives the contention resolution, the contention resolution timer starts. The
UE monitors the PDCCH before the timer expires. In the following situations, the UE infers
that the contention resolution is successful and it notifies the upper layer and stops the :
The UE obtains the C-RNTI when monitoring the PDCCH.
Temporary C-RNTI is obtained when the UE monitors the PDCCH. In addition, the
MAC Packet Data Unit (MAC PDU) is successfully decoded.
If the contention resolution timer expires, the UE infers that the contention resolution fails.
Then, the UE performs RA again if the number of RA attempts is smaller than the
maximum number of attempts.

The non-contention-based RA procedure is as follows:
The eNodeB allocates an RA preamble to the UE in dedicated signaling. The dedicated signaling could be a HO COMMAND message transmitted by the
source eNodeB carries an allocated preamble.
Over the RACH, the UE transmits the dedicated preamble that is allocated.
The eNodeB transmits an RA response over the DL-SCH.
During handover, at least Timing Alignment Information and Initial UL Grant are
contained in the RA response.
Upon downlink data arrival, at least Timing Alignment Information and RA-
Preamble Identifier are contained in the RA response.

In the LTE system, the RACH does not cause any interference to other uplink channels.
Therefore, the LTE system has lower overload control requirement than earlier mobile
communications systems. Generally, the probability of RACH collision is low. If excessive
UEs are admitted on a PRACH, however, UE preamble conflict may occur, and some UEs
fail to access the network. To reduce the conflict probability, backoff control is introduced
in the LTE system to control the time for the UE to retransmit preambles.
The eNodeB notifies the UE of a backoff value through the RA response. If retransmission
is required, the UE selects a value between 0 and the received backoff value as its backoff
time. After the backoff time ends, the UE retransmits the preamble. The backoff control,
however, is not implemented in the following two cases:
During the initial preamble transmission
During the preamble retransmission in non-contention-based RA

Signaling connection consists of RRC connection on the Uu interface and dedicated S1
connection. Generally, signaling connection is established for the establishment of the
service bearer connection. In certain scenarios, however, signaling connection is used only
for the signaling procedure (such as UE location update), but not for the service bearer
connection.

UE_ID is contained in the RRC Connection Request message. If the upper layer provides
the SAE Temporary Mobile Station Identifier (S-TMSI), the UE sends the message
containing the S-TMSI to the eNodeB. If the upper layer does not provide the S-TMSI, the
UE sends the eNodeB the message containing a random value ranging from 0 to 240 - 1. In
the LTE system, the eNodeB does not need to obtain the IMSI information of the UE.
The eNodeB establishes the UE context after receiving the RRC Connection Request
message.
The eNodeB performs the SRB1 resource admission and allocation.
All signaling connections are admitted without any judgment.
If resource allocation fails, the eNodeB responds to the UE with an RRC Connection Reject
message. If resource allocation is successful, the subsequent steps proceed.
The eNodeB responds to the UE with an RRC Connection Setup message over the CCCH.
The message contains detailed information about the SRB1 resource configuration.
The UE performs radio resource configuration after receiving the RRC Connection Setup
message containing the SRB1 resource information, and then the UE sends the eNodeB the
RRC Connection Setup Complete message containing the NAS message.
After the eNodeB receives the RRC Connection Setup Complete message, the RRC
connection is established.

Dedicated S1 connection is between the eNodeB and the MME. After receiving the RRC
Connection Setup Complete message, the eNodeB sends the MME the Initial UE Message
containing the NAS message to start dedicated S1 connection establishment.
The dedicated S1 connection establishment procedure is as follows:
After receiving the RRC Connection Setup Complete message, the eNodeB
allocates a dedicated S1APID to the UE. Then, the eNodeB encapsulates the NAS
message that is originally contained in the RRC Connection Setup Complete
message and S1APID in the Initial UE Message before forwarding the Initial UE
Message to the MME.
The MME parses the NAS message contained in the Initial UE Message before
obtaining the cause for the connection establishment. Then, the MME handles the
UE service request based on the cause and allocates a dedicated S1APID to the UE
on S1-MME interface.
The MME sends the eNodeB the Initial Context Setup Request message, which may
contain the common UE context and EPS bearer context.
After receiving the Initial Context Setup Request message, the eNodeB starts the
UE context establishment. At the same time, the eNodeB generates security keys
for service bearer and signaling based on the received security parameters. The
eNodeB performs service admission decision and resource allocation. For the
security keys ,by comparing the eNodeB-supported algorithms with the UE-
supported algorithms, the eNodeB selects a security algorithm supported by both
the eNodeB and the UE and then sends the algorithm to the UE through the
Security Mode Command message.

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission
The eNodeB instructs the UE to start integrity protection and encryption through
the Security Mode Command message. In the process, the UE obtains security keys
based on the algorithms in the message. At the moment of the eNodeB instruction,
downlink encryption has been started.
After receiving the Security Mode Command message from the eNodeB, the UE
selects an encryption algorithm provided by the eNodeB. After the security keys
that are used by both the service bearer and the signaling are successfully
generated, the UE transmits the Security Mode Complete message, which is not
encrypted. After the eNodeB receives the Security Mode Complete message, uplink
encryption is started.
The eNodeB sends the UE the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message on which
encryption and integrity protection is performed. This is used for the establishment
of the SRB2 and DRB.
The UE establishes corresponding resources according to the RRC Connection
Reconfiguration message. After the resources are successfully established, the UE
responds to the eNodeB with an RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete
message.
The eNodeB sends the MME the feedback through the Initial Context Setup
Response message, which indicates that the bearer is successfully established.

RRC connection Reestablishment involves the SRB1 reestablishment and security
reactivation. A UE in RRC_CONNECTED mode, whose security is activated, can initiate RRC
connection reestablishment for resuming RRC connection. RRC connection reestablishment
can be triggered in the case of a handover failure, RRC reconfiguration failure, radio link
failure, or integrity check failure. If security in the AS is not activated, a UE cannot initiate
RRC connection reestablishment.
A UE may be admitted for RRC connection reestablishment by a cell only if the UE requests
RRC connection reestablishment in the cell that is served by an eNodeB having the UE
context information. If the eNodeB does not have the UE context information, the UE will
be rejected on RRC connection reestablishment. After the RRC connection is successfully
reestablished, the SRB1 can be resumed, whereas other bearers cannot be resumed.
When handling the RRC connection reestablishment, the eNodeB reconfigures the SRB1,
resumes data transmission on the service bearer, and reactivates the security in the AS
without modifying the security algorithm.
LTE eRAN2.1 Connection Management Feature
Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission
The RRC connection reestablishment procedure is as follows:
The UE sends the RRC Connection Reestablishment Request message. The cause for the
RRC connection reestablishment and cell information contained in the message varies
according to the scenario.
The cause for the RRC connection reestablishment triggered by a reconfiguration
failure is reconfigurationFailure. C-RNTI and physCellId in the cause are the
information of the serving cell.
The cause for the RRC connection reestablishment triggered by a handover failure
is handoverFailure. C-RNTI and physCellId in the cause are the information of the
source cell.
The cause for the RRC connection reestablishment triggered by a radio link failure
is otherFailure. C-RNTI and physCellId in the cause are the information of the
serving cell.
If the UE fails to be verified, the eNodeB rejects the RRC connection reestablishment
request of the UE.
Otherwise ,Over the CCCH, the eNodeB sends the UE the RRC Connection Reestablishment
message, which contains the information of the allocated resources. After receiving the
RRC Connection Reestablishment message, the UE reconfigures radio resources according
to the instructions in the message and then starts encryption and integrity protection.
The UE sends the eNodeB the RRC Connection Reestablishment Complete message.

Signaling link release involves the release of the dedicated S1 connection and RRC
connection. RRC connection release consists of the release of the signaling link and all the
radio bearers between the UE and the eNodeB. Signaling link release can be initiated by
the MME or eNodeB. If service between the UE and the MME in the NAS is complete or a
UE decides to stop the service, the MME sends the eNodeB a signaling link release
command. If an exception is detected, the eNodeB sends a signaling link release request to
the MME.
LTE eRAN2.1 Connection Management Feature
Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission
This is a signaling link release procedure after eNodeB detecting an exception:
The eNodeB sends the MME a UE Context Release Request message. Then, the
eNodeB must wait until the MME sends a UE Context Release Command message.
The eNodeB releases transmission resources and triggers the release of the RRC
connection over the Uu interface.
The eNodeB sends the UE an RRC Connection Release message to release the
resources over the Uu interface. In this case, the eNodeB does not need to wait for
the response from the UE.
The eNodeB releases the radio resources in the system.
The eNodeB sends the MME the UE Context Release Complete message, indicating
that the resource release is complete.
After sending the UE Context Release Complete message, the eNodeB releases the
corresponding UE context. In this case, the UE is changed from RRC_CONNECTED
mode to RRC_IDLE mode.
This typical procedure is applied after UeInactiveTimer expires. The eNodeB monitors
data transmission and reception of a UE, After the timer expires, the eNodeB sends the
MME the signaling link release request if the UE does not receive or send any data.
The MME can release the dedicated S1 connection of a UE to release all the S1 resources
for all the service bearers.
