    A 3G-UMTS originating call is described here. Setup radio bearers and RANAP signaling are covered in detail. You can click on most RANAP messages to see the full content of the message. This call flow has been generated with from a Wireshark PCAP file using VisualEther (http://www.eventhelix.com/VisualEther/). The generated call flow was later modified with EventStudio (http://www.eventhelix.com/EventStudio/) to add comments and terminal level interactions. 3G Call Setup RRC Connection Setup RRC Connection Request
    rrc UE Identity, UE Capabilities, Establishment Cause rrc

    UE wishes to establish a voice call so it requests a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection.

    RRC Connection Setup


    rrc Transport Channel Information, Signaling Radio Bearer rrc

    The RNC accepts the RRC Connection Request and assigns a traffic channel. The message also creates a Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB). The UE responds back to signal the completion of the RRC Connection Setup.

    RRC Connection Complete


    rrc Ciphering Information rrc

    RRC

    RRC Connection Setup has been completed between the UE and the RNC. Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) is also created at the time of the RRC connection setup.

    CM Service Request Initial UE Message [CM Service Request]


    rrc rrc

    The mobile sends an Initial UE Message that carries the CM Service Request as a NAS (Non Access Stratum) payload. DTAP MM CM Service Request
    ranap

    ranap BCD Digits : 123456780000000

    The CM Service Request is the first message to be received for the call from the RNC. This message also sets up the SCCP connection between the RNC and the Core Network. The "CM Service Request" also marks the start of an Iu connection. The Core Network sends an SCTP level ack for the CM Service Request message. SCCP connection setup is confirmed. SCTP ack for SCCP Connection Confirm message. The SCCP connection has

    Security Procedure Core Network sends new keys for ciphering and integrity protection. Security Mode Command
    ranap UIAs, IK, UEAs, CK Select UIA and UEA, generate FRESH and start integrity protection ranap

    Core Network initiates ciphering and integrity Protection. The "MSC/VLR" sends the Security Mode Command message to RNC.

    RRC Security Mode Command


    rrc CN domain, UIA, UEA, FRESH, Security Capability, MAC-I rrc

    The RNC generates the RRC message Security mode command. The message includes the UE security capability, the ciphering capability, the UIA and FRESH to be used and if ciphering shall be started also the UEA to be used. This is the first message to be integrity protected. It contains the MAC-I integrity protection "checksum".
