12 Processing delay requirements for RRC procedures

38.3313GPPNRProtocol specificationRadio Resource Control (RRC)Release 17TS

The UE performance requirements for RRC procedures are specified in the following tables. The performance requirement is expressed as the time in [ms] from the end of reception of the network -> UE message on the UE physical layer up to when the UE shall be ready for the reception of uplink grant for the UE -> network response message with no access delay other than the TTI-alignment (e.g. excluding delays caused by scheduling, the random access procedure or physical layer synchronisation). In case the RRC procedure triggers BWP switching, the RRC procedure delay is the value defined in the following table plus the BWP switching delay defined in TS 38.133 [14], clause 8.6.3.

Value=6 applies for a UE supporting reduced CP latency for the case of RRCResume message only including MAC and PHY configuration, reestablishPDCP and reestablishRLC for SRB2, multicast MRB(s) and DRB(s), and no DRX, SPS, configured grant, CA or MIMO re-configuration will be triggered by this message. Further, the UL grant for transmission of RRCResumeComplete and the data is transmitted over common search space with DCI format 0_0.

In this scenario, the RRC procedure delay [ms] can extend beyond the reception of the UL grant, up to 7 ms.

For other cases, Value = 10 applies.
