Radio Network Controller - RNC Roles

RNC Roles

In a relationship to a UE (in a soft handover situation) an RNC can play two different roles. These are:

  • D-RNC: Drift RNC
  • S-RNC: Serving RNC

However, as far as the NodeB is concerned, the RNC may play a third role:

  • C-RNC: Controlling RNC

It is important to know that one RNC can assume more than one role at any time.

A RNC also control the power of a NODE B.

Famous quotes containing the word roles:

    Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.
    Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
