A subsequent channel assignment procedure may be requested by MSC-A/3G_MSC-A after an Inter-MSC GSM to UMTS handover or Inter-MSC SRNS relocation without circuit connection (see subclauses 13.2 and 13.4). If RNS-A replies with an Iu-RAB-ASSIGNMENT-RESPONSE containing the cause value 'Relocation Triggered' due to an already initiated Intra-3G_MSC-B UMTS to GSM handover or Intra-3G_MSC-B SRNS relocation, the 3G_MSC-B shall not forward the result of the RAB assignment procedure to MSC-A/3G_MSC-A, but wait for the outcome of the handover/relocation procedure. If the handover/relocation procedure is completed successfully, the 3G_MSC-B shall construct an A-ASSIGNMENT-COMPLETE or Iu-RAB-ASSIGNMENT-RESPONSE message, dependent on the encapsulated protocol used on the E-interface, and forward this message to MSC-A/3G_MSC-A in the MAP-PREPARE-HANDOVER response.
If the handover/relocation procedure is unsuccessful and the UE is still served by RNS-A, the 3G_MSC-B shall reattempt the RAB assignment procedure towards RNS-A.
