Scenario 3: Scenario 2:
Redirected to a new Reestablishment

3 Scheduled Transmission
Contention Resolution 4
Purpose of Random Access
Request an initial access;
Shift from idle to connecting state;
Support handover between eNodeBs;
Obtain/resume uplink synchronization;
Request UE ID from the eNodeB;
Send an uplink resource request to the eNodeB;
Set up a radio

Example
Which ones of the following five UEs will cause contention? Which
ones can be successfully admitted?
UE3, UE4 and UE5: They each receive their own MSG2, and send
MSG3 on their respective UL grant. All UEs are successfully admitted
as there is no contention.
Non-Contention-Based Random Access
MSG0: In non-contention-based random access, the eNodeB assigns
a random access preamble to a UE through downlink dedicated
signaling.

Attach Request
RRCConnectionSetupComplete, and InitialUEMessage send the NAS
message Attach Request to EPC.
InitialContextSetupRequest
This message is the initial context setup request sent to eNodeB from
the MME, requesting the eNodeB to establish a bearer resource. This
messages contains security context, and possibly other parameters
such as user radio capabilities and handover restriction lists.
The security capability parameters of UE are sent to core network
through the attach request message, and then the core network
transmits the message to eNodeB.
UE Capability Enquiry
The eNodeB will not send a UECapabilityEnquiry message to the UE if
initialContextSetupRequestMsg contains UE Radio Capability IE.
Otherwise, the eNodeB will send the UECapabilityEnquiry message to
the UE. After the UE reports the radio capability information, the eNodeB
will resend a UE Capability Info Indication message to the core network to
report UE radio capability information.
UECapability Enquiry
The eNodeB will not send UECapabilityEnquiry to the UE if
initialContextSetupRequestMsg contains the UE Radio Capability IE.
