C-RNTI: Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier. Uniquely identifies a UE

within a cell. Only exists if UE is connected. Assigned by the eNodeB.
S-TMSI: SAE- Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identifier: uniquely identifies the
UE within a tracking area. Assigned by the MME.
TA Update: Tracking Area Update

The four steps of the contention based random access procedures are:
1) Random Access Preamble on RACH in uplink:
-There are two possible groups defined (group A and B) and one is optional. If both groups are configured the size of message 3 and the
pathloss are used to determine which group a preamble is selected from. The group to which a preamble belongs provides an ind ication
of the size of the message 3 and the radio conditions at the UE. The preamble group information along with the necessary thresholds
are broadcast on system information.
2) Random Access Response generated by MAC on DL-SCH:
- Semi-synchronous (within a flexible window of which the size is one or more TTI) with message 1;
- No HARQ;
- Addressed to RA-RNTI on PDCCH;
- Conveys at least RA-preamble identifier, Timing Alignment information, initial UL grant and assignment of Temporary C-RNTI (which
may or may not be made permanent upon Contention Resolution);
- Intended for a variable number of UEs in one DL-SCH message.
3) First scheduled UL transmission on UL-SCH:
- Uses HARQ;
- Size of the transport blocks depends on the UL grant conveyed in step 2 and is at least 80 bits.
- For initial access:
- Conveys the RRC Connection Request generated by the RRC layer and transmitted via CCCH;
- Conveys at least NAS UE identifier but no NAS message;
-RLC TM: no segmentation;
- For RRC Connection Re-establishment procedure:
-Conveys the RRC Connection Re-establishment Request generated by the RRC layer and transmitted via CCCH;
-RLC TM: no segmentation;
-Does not contain any NAS message.
- After handover, in the target cell:
-Conveys the ciphered and integrity protected RRC Handover Confirm generated by the RRC layer and transmitted via DCCH;
-Conveys the C-RNTI of the UE (which was allocated via the Handover Command);
-Includes an uplink Buffer Status Report when possible.
- For other events:
-Conveys at least the C-RNTI of the UE.
4) Contention Resolution on DL:
- Early contention resolution shall be used i.e. eNB does not wait for NAS reply before resolving contention
- Not synchronized with message 3;
- HARQ is supported;
- Addressed to:
-The Temporary C-RNTI on PDCCH for initial access and after radio link failure;
-The C-RNTI on PDCCH for UE in RRC_CONNECTED;
- HARQ feedback is transmitted only by the UE which detects its own UE identity, as provided in message 3, echoed in the Contention
Resolution message;
- For initial access and RRC Connection Re-establishment procedure, no segmentation is used (RLC-TM).
The Temporary C-RNTI is promoted to C-RNTI for a UE which detects RA success and does not already have a C-RNTI; it is dropped by
others. A UE which detects RA success and already has a C-RNTI, resumes using its C-RNTI.
