Aricent
offers Radio Link Control (RLC) and Medium Access
Control (MAC) protocols compliant to latest 3GPP Release’99
specifications. These help OEMs build the Radio Network Controller
(RNC) faster and at lower cost.
RLC and MAC protocols form data link sub-layers of the UMTS
radio interface and reside on the RNC node and the User Equipment.
Architecture
Following message based interfaces are provided by Aricent RLC,
MAC-d and MAC-c/sh stacks:
RRC
RRC interface is used for Control for Radio Resource Configuration
and measurement configuration and reporting
Service User
Service user interface is used
for data request and data indications for radio bearers
Framing Protocol (FP)
Framing Protocol Interface is used for data request and
data indications transport channels apart from synchronization
function between higher-layer radio access protocols (for
example RLC, MAC) and the timing requirements of the radio
transmission system.
System Management Entity (SME)
SME interface is used for functions like stack provisioning,
tracing enabling, and statistics enabling.
