RRC (Radio Resource Control)

The Radio Resource Control (RRC) Stack offering from Aricent enables OEMs to build Radio Network Controller (RNC) nodes faster and with reduced costs.
The Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer handles the control plane signalling of Layer 3 between the UE(s) and UTRAN.

Aricent RRC Stack is based on splitting the RRC protocol functionality, specified in 3GPP RRC specification, in the UTRAN into a RRC protocol stack entity and the RRC Application. Aricent RRC handles lower layer configuration and protocol signalling with the UE. RRC Application does the required resource management and admission control related functionality.

Aricent RRC Stack Interfaces

The Aricent RRC has the following interfaces:
  • RRC Application
  • Radio Link Control (RLC) for control and configuration of RLC entities
  • Medium Access Control (MAC) for control and configuration of MAC entities
  • Framing Protocol (FP) for paging related functionality
  • System Management Entity (SME) for control, initialization and provisioning of the RRC layer at start-up, and at run time
