5G/NR - RRC Reconfiguration                      Home : www.sharetechnote.com

 

 

 

 

As in LTE, RRC Reconfiguration is the most important steps in establishing Radio Connection between UE and Network. Understanding every details of RRC Reconfiguration would imply understanding almost everything in NR Radio Stack.  I would take around an year to get the understandings on the details of this single message to a certain degree and you would need to keep learning further details and new things throughout the whole life cycles of 5G/NR. So.. don't be too hurry trying to understand everything at a time and read / think on small pieces and analyze the protocol log when available whenever you have chance. This page also will be updated piece by piece and linked to many other pages for the details.

 

Following sequence shows what triggers NR RRC Reconfiguration on UE. As you see here, this can be triggered by LTE (in NSA(Non-Standalone) deployment) or by NR (in SA(Standalone) deployment).

 

 

 

 

Purpose (Function) of RRC Reconfiguration

 

As you can guess from the word itself, the major functionality of RrcReconfiguration is to setup or modify RRC configuration. Why we have the prefix 'Re(meaning 'again' or 'changin')' here ? Personally I think this 'Re' would be confusing sometime. In LTE, the prefix 'Re' in RrcConnectionReconfigurationRequest make sense because in LTE the initial RRC configuration get setup by RrcConnectionSetup message at early phase of registration process and RrcConnectionReconfigurationRequest is basically changing (reconfiguring) of RRC configuration made by RrcConnectionSetup. But in NR, both initial RRC Configuration Setup at the early phase of registration and RRC Configuration change at later part are done by the same message RrcReconfiguration. ... Anyway.. this is not a big deal.

 

The major functionality of RRC Reconfiguration are to configure following RRC Components/Functions

  • Radio Bearer
  • Measurement
  • Scells or Cell Group

 

For each of the RRC Component/Functions, RrcReconfiguration message can do following operations

  • Radio Bearer
    • Establish
    • Modify
    • Release
  • Measurement
    • Setup
    • Modify
    • Release
  • Scells or Cell Group
    • Add
    • Modify
    • Release

subcarrierSpacingCommon : Indicates Subcarrier spacing for SIB1, Msg.2/4 for initial access and SI-messages.

                            Values 15, and 30 kHz are applicable for carrier frequencies <6GHz;

                            Values 60 and 120 kHz are applicable for carrier frequencies >6GHz

ssb-subcarrieroffset :  The frequency domain offset between SSB and the overall resource block grid in number of subcarriers. Absence of the field indicates that no offset if applied (offset = 0). See 38.211, 7.4.3.1)

ssb-PositionsInBurst : Indicates the time domain positions of the transmitted SS-blocks in an SS-burst. It corresponds to L1 parameter 'SSB-Transmitted' (see 38.213, section 4.1)

                         shortBitmap : bitmap for sub 3 GHz

                         mediumBitmap : bitmap for 3-6 GHz

                         longBitmap : bitmap for above 6 GHz

ssb-periodicityServingCell : The SSB periodicity in msec for the rate matching purpose (see 38.211-7.4.3.1)  

dmrs-TypeA-Position : Position of (first) DL DM-RS (see 38.211, section 7.4.1.1.1). This field is usually in MIB. Assuming that the UE does not need to acquire MIB before sending RA to target cell, this parameter should also be here.

subcarrierSpacingSSB : Subcarrier spacing of SSB. Used only for non-initial access (e.g. SCells, PCell of SCG).

ss-PBCH-BlockPower : TX power that the NW used for SSB transmission. The UE uses it to estimate the RA preamble TX power

rach-ConfigCommon : Parameters that are also conveyed via system information (SIB1) but which are provided here to accelerate handover and to avoid that UEs need to read system information from SCells. See rach-ConfigCommon details in RACH page.
