8.3.13 Radio Link Restoration

25.4333GPPRelease 17TSUTRAN Iub interface Node B Application Part (NBAP) signalling

8.3.13.1 General

This procedure is used by the Node B to notify the achievement and re-achievement of uplink synchronisation of one or more [FDD – Radio Link Sets][TDD – Radio Links or CCTrCHs within a Radio Link] on the Uu interface.

The Node B may initiate the Radio Link Restoration procedure at any time after establishing a Radio Link.

8.3.13.2 Successful Operation

Figure 44: Radio Link Restoration procedure, Successful Operation

The Node B shall send the RADIO LINK RESTORE INDICATION message to the CRNC when indicated by the UL synchronisation detection algorithm defined in ref. TS 25.214 [10] and TS 25.224 [21] [FDD -, or when the Fast Reconfiguration Mode IE has been included in the RADIO LINK RECONFIGURATION COMMIT message and the Node B has detected that the UE has changed to the new configuration. The algorithm in ref. TS 25.214 [10] shall use the minimum value of the parameters N_INSYNC_IND that are configured in the cells supporting the radio links of the RL Set.] The message shall use the Communication Control Port assigned to the concerned Node B Communication Context.

[TDD – If the re-established Uu synchronisation concerns one or more individual Radio Links, the Node B shall indicate the affected Radio Link(s) using the RL Information IE.] [TDD – If the re-established Uu synchronisation concerns one or more individual CCTrCHs within a radio link, the Node B shall indicate the affected CCTrCHs using the CCTrCH ID IE.] [FDD – If the re-established Uu synchronisation concerns one or more Radio Link Set(s), the Node B shall indicate the affected Radio Link Set(s) using the RL Set Information IE.]

[FDD – The Node B shall send the RADIO LINK RESTORE INDICATION message when the E-DCH processing issue condition has ceased.]
