Introduction to RNC Software

RNC Software runs on top of 3 different Operating Systems namely DMX,Chorus & OSE. SW is separated into
ATM Platform SW. RNC Application SW.

RNC Application SW is included into one System Block RNQSYB

Different Service Blocks

RNQSYB AGSSEB
Performance Measurement Services

IUUSEB
Packet Data Handling Services

L3TSEB
Layer 3 Signalling Services

P2PSEB

Different Service Blocks

R4ASEB. Resources for Application level Service Block NRMPRB
Transport Resource Manager for transport resource reservation, modification and releasing in application level in RNC. Runs in ICSU over DMX

BIFPRB
Allocates Binding Ids for Iur Control Plane Signalling (RNSAP) Runs in ICSU over DMX

Different Service Blocks

L3TSEB. Responsible for handling Layer 3 Protocols signalling. RRCPRB Runs in ICSU over DMX Provides signalling connection towards MS and Call control functionality Divided into four parts
MCC (MS Connection Control).
Controls connection between MS, RNC and CN. Requests capacity from RRM, produces TrCh & RLC parameters. One MCC hand per MS in RNC.

Different Service Blocks

MCC
In DRNC,MCC hand exists but does not have RRC connection.

RRC-C
handles the RACH/FACH signaling towards the MS when there is no RRC connection. There will be one RRC-C per cell and it is created when RACH/FACH is created.

RRC-D
handles the signaling procedures when the mobile has RRC connection. There will be one RRC-D per MS in RNC and it is created every time MS makes the connection establishment and it is released when connection is released

Different Service Blocks

RRC-S
Handles the system info scheduling, segmentation and broadcasting. There will be one RRC-S per cell created at the time of RACH/FACH creation.

NBAP PRB
Runs in ICSU over DMX & provides signalling conns to BTS. Divided into two parts
NBAP-C. Offers common procedures of NBAP towards BTS. One NBAP-C per BTS. NBAP-D. Offers Dedicated procedures of NBAP towards BTS. There will be One NBAPD per Traffic Termination point in BTS.

Different Service Blocks

IURPRB
Offers signalling connections between RNCs and handles RNSAP procedures. Runs in ICSU over DMX. One IUR hand per MS per Neighbour RNC.

IUVPRB
Offers signalling connections towards CN and handles RANAP procedures. Runs in ICSU over DMX. One IUV hand per MS per CN.

Different Service Blocks

RC3PRB
Centralized part of Telecom signalling Located in RRMU Maintains PIDs, state changes of subsystems, UL Scrambling codes for MS Connections. Takes care of Resource Releasing due to Fault situations.

Different Service Blocks

RRUSEB. Consists of two PRBs BRMPRB. Base Station Resource Manager.
Offers cell specific control of radio resources for telecom purposes. Runs in ICSU over DMX. Main functionality includes Admission Control, Packet Scheduler, Load Control and Resource Manager. One BRM Hand per BTS.

Different Service Blocks

HA3PRB. Main purpose is to achieve mobility management in Radio Access Network.
Runs in ICSU over DMX One HA3 hand per MS in RNC. Supports different types of handovers. Handles handover related measurements.
