Measurement of RAB release per cell(RAB.RelAbnormal.

Cell)
Overview
The RAB release can be classified into the following types:
1) The RAB release initiated by the RNC. When the RNC detects that the UE has no data to transmit
for a long period or the RNC is faulty (for example, the SRB resets or the AAL2 link on the Iu interface
is faulty), the RNC sends to the CN a RAB RELEASE REQUEST message to release the RAB or an
IU RELEASE REQUEST message to release the Iu connection. If the cause value is "User Inactivity",
"Normal Release", "Successful Relocation", "Network Optimization", or "UE Generated Signalling
Connection Release", the RAB release is considered as normal release; otherwise, the RAB release
is considered as abnormal release. For details, see the middle of the figure.
2) The RAB release initiated by the CN. The RNC initiates the RAB release by sending the RAB
ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message and initiates the Iu connection release by sending the IU
RELEASE COMMAND message. All the RAB releases initiated by the CN are considered as normal
releases. For details, see the left part of the figure.
3) The RAB release initiated by the UE. The UE initiates the RAB release by sending the SIGNALING
CONNECTION RELEASE INDICATION message. According to the domain information in the
message, the RNC sends an IU RELEASE REQUEST message to the CN node (SGSN or MSC) to
release the Iu connection. After the Iu connection is released, the RNC initiates the RRC release if no
Iu connection exists in another domain. All the RAB releases initiated by the UE are considered as
normal releases. For details, see the right part of the figure.
Note: If the Iu interface is reset, released services will be regarded as being normally released.
