Nokia Aspects Related to RRC Connection Setup Complete

The UE can return its capabilities to the S-RNC with the IE Radio Access Capability, which contains Transport channel capability: is distributed to the resource manager and to the admission control entity RF capability: the RF capability is distributed to the resource manager, the power control entity and to the handover control entity Physical channel entity: is distributed to resource manager UE multi-mode/multi-RAT capability: in RAN1 not distributed Security capability: in RAN1 not distributed LCS capability: in RAN1 not distributed Measurement capability: is distributed to the handover control entity. Presence is mandatory if IE Multi-mode capability has the value "FDD" or "FDD/TDD" and a FDD capability update has been requested in a previous message. Otherwise this field is not needed in the message. Among the optional other information elements, we find the Inter_RAT UE access capability, which is also not used in RAN1. The RNC shall extract the inter-system message from the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message and transfer it to the handover control entity.
