This chapter represents how the RNC counters are updated in some common call
scenarios. To keep the presentation readable, the diagrams do not include all counters
updated in that scenario but only the most relevant counters.

The UE sends RRC Connection Request but this attempt fails due to BTS responding NBAP: Radio
Link Setup Failure. The RNC sends RRC Connection Reject to the UE, asking it to wait for a few
seconds before new attempt.
Then the UE sends new RRC Connection Request and this time the connection is setup successfully.

CS fallback is identified with cause ”CS fallback triggered” in the RANAP: RELOCATION REQUEST
message. The difference of normal PS relocation from LTE is that in CS fallback PS RAB is allocated to
DCH 0/0 and resources in RAN are reserved only for the signalling link. The CS RAB setup will be done
as a separate procedure after the relocation just like in normal RAN initiated CS call.
