Question: During a RRC connection re-establishment to a cell in the previous monitored set, what triggers the UE to send a RRC CELL UPDATE message with a specific cause value after moving from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH state?
Option 1: Receipt of a new system information block from the target cell
Option 2: Expiration of the TRE-ESTABLISH timer following a radio link failure
Option 3: Successful decoding of a dedicated paging message
Option 4: Completion of the UE's internal handover preparation phase
Explanation: The correct answer is tied to the specific scenario of RRC connection re-establishment after a radio link failure. According to the telecom concept in question, upon experiencing a radio link failure and transitioning from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH state, the UE is required to send a RRC CELL UPDATE message with the cause value "radio link failure" within a defined time frame (TRE-ESTABLISH seconds). This timeframe is crucial for network efficiency and resource allocation. The expiration of the TRE-ESTABLISH timer directly following a radio link failure is the trigger for sending this message, highlighting the importance of timely re-establishment in maintaining connectivity and service quality in wireless communications.
