C.3 Mapping between RRC States and MAC States
3GPP43.051GSM/EDGE Overall descriptionRelease 17Stage 2TS
In the following table, it is described the mapping between GERAN RRC and MAC states and possible channel combinations. RRC always handles the allocation of DBPSCH and it also controls which SBPSCHs MAC is allowed to use. MAC always allocates PDTCHs when using SBPSCHs. The table below shows which protocol is responsible for the different procedures in different scenarios.

Note 1. A TCH or an SDCCH may be allocated by RRC in RRC-GRA_PCH state and in RRC_Cell_Shared state (when receiving a TCH or an SDCCH assignment on PAGCH, MAC enters the MAC_Dedicated state or the MAC_DTM state respectively and RRC enters the RRC-Cell_Dedicated state).
Note 2. A TCH or an SDCCH may be allocated by RRC through MAC (when receiving a TCH or an SDCCH assignment on PAGCH MAC enters the MAC-Dedicated state).
