This chapter covers the control plane (CP) procedures for the access of a user equipment (UE) to the network. In general, the system access is a rather complex procedure, and depending on the used mechanisms and the requirements it may be an inefficient process resulting in waste of resources. The 5th generation (5G) CP functions for the system access have the same purpose as in older generations of mobile systems, such as Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). However, new requirements in 5G, for instance related to latency and energy efficiency, raise the need for different and more efficient approaches.

To easier understand the role of the CP functions, consider the events in Figure 13‐1, which depicts a UE's life ...
