Section: 7.2 Protocol States
Content: RRC supports the following states which can be characterised as follows: - RRC_IDLE: - PLMN selection; - Broadcast of system information; - Cell re-selection mobility; - Paging for mobile terminated data is initiated by 5GC; - Transfer of MBS broadcast data to the UE over MRB(s); - DRX for CN paging configured by NAS. - RRC_INACTIVE: - PLMN selection; - Broadcast of system information; - Cell re-selection mobility; - Paging is initiated by NG-RAN (RAN paging); - RAN-based notification area (RNA) is managed by NG- RAN; - DRX for RAN paging configured by NG-RAN; - 5GC - NG-RAN connection (both C/U-planes) is established for UE; - The UE Inactive AS context is stored in NG-RAN and the UE; - NG-RAN knows the RNA which the UE belongs to; - Transfer of MBS broadcast data to the UE over MRB(s); - Transfer of unicast data and/or signalling to/from the UE over radio bearers configured for SDT. - RRC_CONNECTED: - 5GC - NG-RAN connection (both C/U-planes) is established for UE; - The UE AS context is stored in NG-RAN and the UE; - NG-RAN knows the cell which the UE belongs to; - Transfer of unicast data to/from the UE; - Transfer of MBS multicast/broadcast data to the UE over MRB(s); - Network controlled mobility including measurements.
