Propagation delay (PD): it is the round trip propagation delay of the radio signal from the Node B to the UE and back

Timing Advance (TA): it is the amount of time, expressed in number of chips, by which the transmission of an uplink

4 General Aspects
4.1 Introduction
The logical interface between a RNC and a Node B is called the Iub interface.
4.2 Iub Interface General Principles
The general principles for the specification of the Iub interface are as follows:
- Transmission sharing between the GSM/GPRS Abis interface and the Iub interface shall not be precluded.
- The functional division between RNC and Node B shall have as few options as possible.
- Iub should be based on a logical model of Node B.
- Node B controls a number of cells and can be ordered to add/remove radio links in those cells.
- Neither the physical structure nor any internal protocols of the Node B shall be visible over Iub and are thus not
limiting factors, e.g., when introducing future technology.
- Only the logical O&M (TS 25.401 [1]) of Node B is supported by the Iub.
- Complex functionality shall as far as possible be avoided over Iub. Advanced optimisation solutions may be
added in later versions of the standard.
- The Iub functional split shall take into account the probability of frequent switching between different channel
types.
4.3 Iub Interface Specification Objectives
The I interface specifications shall facilitate the following:
ub
- Inter-connection of RNCs and Node Bs from different manufacturers.
- Separation of I interface Radio Network functionality and Transport Network functionality to facilitate
ub
introduction of future technology.
The Iub parts to be standardised are:
1. User data transport.
2. Signalling for handling the user data.
3. Node B Logical O&M (TS 25.401 [1]).
Note: It should be possible to transport the Implementation Specific O&M (TS 25.401 [1]) interface via the
same transport bearer as the Iub interface and, hence, the lower layer transport mechanisms should be
standardised to this effect. The application level content of the Implementation Specific O&M interface is
out of scope of UTRAN standardization. Where the implementation specific O&M interface shares the
same bearer as the Iub interface, the transport layers shall be as specifie
...
