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:
“There is a striking dichotomy between the behavior of many women in their lives at work and in their lives as mothers. Many of the same women who are battling stereotypes on the job, who are up against unspoken assumptions about the roles of men and women, seem to accept—and in their acceptance seem to reinforce—these roles at home with both their sons and their daughters.”
—Ellen Lewis (20th century)
