    RRC stands for Radio Resource Control and is used for signaling transfer between the UE and UTRAN network. When a UE needs resources for a CS or PS call, it goes through three steps - RRC Connection Request, RRC Connection Setup where the RNC assigns a traffic channel and SRB, and RRC Connection Complete. RAB stands for Radio Access Bearer and is used for information transfer across the UMTS system from UE to MSC/SGSN. RABs include RB between UE and RNC and lu bearer between RNC and core network. SRB is only used for signaling while TRB is used for user data as part of RAB.

    RRC

    RRC stands for Radio Resource Control. As we know whenever UE needs resources from UTRAN network, it
    requests for the same. UE needs resources when it wants to establish either CS call or PS call. In order to do
    this following three steps are performed as shown in the figure-1.
    • RRC Connection Request: From UE to RNC
    • RRC Connection Setup: RNC assigns traffic channel(i.e. transport channel) and creates SRB(Signaling Radio
    Bearer).
    • RRC Connection Complete
    Refer WCDMA CS Call and PS Call.
    Difference between RAB vs RB vs SRB
    RAB stands for Radio Access Bearer. AS entity provides NAS to take care of information transfer between UE
    and Core Network(CN). This is known as RAB.
    Figure-2 depicts RAB across the UMTS system end to end from UE(i.e. mobile) to MSC/SGSN. Based on
    functionality and position in the system, RAB are of two main types. RB and lu bearer. RB(Radio Bearer) is
    between UE and RNC entities while lu bearer is between RNC and Core Network(CN).

    RB is used for both user data as well as signalling. The RB used only for signaling purpose is known as
    SRB(Signaling Radio Bearer) used in control plane. There is another term 'TRB' used to refer Traffic Radio
    Bearer. TRB is used in User Plane.

    Based on circuit switched call (CS call) or packet switched call (PS call), RAB type lu-interface carry either voice
    or data information. Following table compares RRC vs RAB.

    Feature (Radio Resource Control) (Radio Access Bearer)

    Function used for signaling transfer used for information transfer

    Similarity with GSM Same as SDCCH(Standalone Dedicated Control Channel) Same as TCH(Traffic Channel)

    The terms RRC and RAB is similar to SDCCH and TCH channels used in GSM technology. So engineers who
    are familiar with SDCCH signalling channel and TCH traffic channel can easily interpret the functional difference
    between RRC and RAB used in UMTS/LTE networks.
