Both RRC and RAB connection are divided into three phases: setup, access, and active phase.
The figures below show the triggering of the most important counters and how the phases are
defined.
In addition to the counters presented in the figures below, this measurement provides
information on incoming handovers and SRNC relocations, RAB holding times, DCH holding
times per NRT RAB type, RRC and RAB setup times, and multi-RABs.
Note: If a failure which leads to RRC connection release occurs during any RAB phase,
both RRC active and RAB (setup, access or active) failure counters are updated with an
appropriate cause.
Note: An AMR multimode call is an AMR call that is triggered by a RANAP: RAB
ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message where Maximum Bit Rate parameter is greater than
Guaranteed Bit Rate. In an AMR singlemode call, these two parameters are equal. An
additional condition for AMR multimode related counters to be updated is that the feature
be enabled and admission control accept the call as multimode.
Note: This measurement also provides counters for reference cell changes. They can be
used to explore RRC and RAB performance on the cell level.
The first reference cell is the cell through which the RRC connection has been established.
The reference cell is not changed until the current reference cell is deleted from the active
set. When it is deleted, the next reference cell will be the cell with the greatest CPICH
Ec/No value in the last RRC: MEASUREMENT REPORT.
For more information on call phases, see Call Setup and Release.

This measurement provides also RAB counters with higher granularity which are not shown in
this picture. Note that RAB active phase is completed also when CN sends RANAP: Iu Release
