LTE RRC Messages

LTE RRC messages are the control-plane message set between the UE and the eNodeB. This page groups the LTE RRC message space into broadcast, setup, reconfiguration, mobility, paging, security, and capability paths so the right message branch is easy to open from a trace or procedure.

Start with system information for access and idle context, move into LTE RRC for dedicated control, then use initial access, handover, or paging when the message sequence needs procedure context.

Protocol family: LTE RRC Main spec: 3GPP TS 36.331 Architecture: 3GPP TS 36.300 Idle mode: 3GPP TS 36.304 Release: Release 18
