The purpose of this procedure is to establish an RRC connection. RRC connection establishment involves SRB1 establishment. The procedure is also used to transfer the initial NAS dedicated information/ message from the UE to the network.

The network applies the procedure e.g.as follows:

When establishing an RRC connection;
When UE is resuming or re-establishing an RRC connection, and the network is not able to retrieve or verify the UE context. In this case, UE receives RRCSetup and responds with RRCSetupComplete.

5.3.3.1a Conditions for establishing RRC Connection for NR sidelink communication/discovery/V2X sidelink communication/MP operation p. 78

For NR sidelink communication/discovery, an RRC connection establishment is initiated only in the following cases:

1 >

if configured by upper layers to transmit NR sidelink communication and related data is available for transmission:

2 >

if the frequency on which the UE is configured to transmit NR sidelink communication is included in sl-FreqInfoList/sl-FreqInfoListSizeExt within SIB12 provided by the cell on which the UE camps; and if the valid version of SIB12 does not include sl-TxPoolSelectedNormal for the concerned frequency;

1 >

if configured by upper layers to transmit NR sidelink discovery and related data is available for transmission:

2 >

if the UE is configured by upper layers to transmit NR sidelink L2 U2N relay discovery messages and sl-L2U2N-Relay is included in SIB12; or

2 >

if the UE is configured by upper layers to transmit NR sidelink L3 U2N relay discovery messages and sl-L3U2N-RelayDiscovery is included in SIB12; or

2 >

if the UE is configured by upper layers to transmit NR sidelink non-relay discovery messages and sl-NonRelayDiscovery is included in SIB12:

3 >

if the frequency on which the UE is configured to transmit NR sidelink discovery is included in sl-FreqInfoList/sl-FreqInfoListSizeExt within SIB12 provided by the cell on which the UE camps; and if the valid version of SIB12 includes neither sl-DiscTxPoolSelected nor sl-TxPoolSelectedNormal for the concerned frequency;

For L2 U2N Relay UE in RRC_IDLE, an RRC connection establishment is initiated in the following cases:

1 >

if any message is received from a L2 U2N Remote UE via SL-RLC0 as specified in clause 9.1.1.4 or SL-RLC1 as specified in clause 9.2.4; or

1 >

if RemoteUEInformationSidelink containing the connectionForMP is received from a L2 U2N Remote UE as specified in clause 5.8.9.8.3;

For V2X sidelink communication, an RRC connection is initiated only when the conditions specified for V2X sidelink communication in clause 5.3.3.1a of TS 36.331 are met.

The L2 U2N Relay UE either indicates to upper layers (to trigger PC5 unicast link release) or sends NotificationMessageSidelink message to the connected L2 U2N Remote UE(s) in accordance with clause 5.8.9.10.

5.3.3.8 Abortion of RRC connection establishment p. 88

If upper layers abort the RRC connection establishment procedure, due to a NAS procedure being aborted as specified in TS 24.501, while the UE has not yet entered RRC_CONNECTED, the UE shall:

1 >

stop timer T300, if running;

1 >

reset MAC, release the MAC configuration and re-establish RLC for all RBs that are established (except broadcast MRBs).

The L2 U2N Remote UE indicates to upper layers to trigger PC5 unicast link release with its connected L2 U2N Relay UE.

Reproduction of 3GPP TS 38.331, Fig. 5.3.4.1-2: Security mode command, failure

The purpose of this procedure is to activate AS security upon RRC connection establishment.

5.3.4.2 Initiation p. 89

The network initiates the security mode command procedure to a UE in RRC_CONNECTED. Moreover, the network applies the procedure as follows:

when only SRB1 is established, i.e. prior to establishment of SRB2, multicast MRBs and/ or DRBs.

5.3.4.3 Reception of the SecurityModeCommand by the UE p. 89

The UE shall:

1 >

derive the KgNB key, as specified in TS 33.501;

1 >

derive the KRRCint key associated with the integrityProtAlgorithm indicated in the SecurityModeCommand message, as specified in TS 33.501;

1 >

request lower layers to verify the integrity protection of the SecurityModeCommand message, using the algorithm indicated by the integrityProtAlgorithm as included in the SecurityModeCommand message and the KRRCint key;

1 >

if the SecurityModeCommand message passes the integrity protection check:

2 >

derive the KRRCenc key and the KUPenc key associated with the cipheringAlgorithm indicated in the SecurityModeCommand message, as specified in TS 33.501;

2 >

derive the KUPint key associated with the integrityProtAlgorithm indicated in the SecurityModeCommand message, as specified in TS 33.501;

2 >

configure lower layers to apply SRB integrity protection using the indicated algorithm and the KRRCint key immediately, i.e. integrity protection shall be applied to all subsequent messages received and sent by the UE, including the SecurityModeComplete message;

2 >

configure lower layers to apply SRB ciphering using the indicated algorithm, the KRRCenc keyafter completing the procedure, i.e. ciphering shall be applied to all subsequent messages received and sent by the UE, except for the SecurityModeComplete message which is sent unciphered;

2 >

consider AS security to be activated;

2 >

submit the SecurityModeComplete message to lower layers for transmission, upon which the procedure ends;

1 >

else:

2 >

continue using the configuration used prior to the reception of the SecurityModeCommand message, i.e. neither apply integrity protection nor ciphering.

2 >

submit the SecurityModeFailure message to lower layers for transmission, upon which the procedure ends.
