NR; Radio Resource Control (RRC); Protocol specification
The present document specifies the Radio Resource Control protocol for the radio interface between UE and NG-RAN.
The scope of the present document also includes:
- the radio related information transported in a transparent container between source gNB and target gNB upon inter gNB handover;
- the radio related information transported in a transparent container between a source or target gNB and another system upon inter RAT handover.
- the radio related information transported in a transparent container between a source eNB and target gNB during E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity.
The RRC protocol is also used to configure the radio interface between an IAB-node and its parent node [2], and the radio interface between an NCR-node and gNB [2].
