Failure in Radio Interface Procedure

Hi Gents,

  1. What Could be reasons if RNC is sending “Failure in Radio Interface Procedure” message toward SGS?.
  2. How we can avoid it “Solutions/Work Around”?
  3. Any impact of this cause code in KPIs if SGSN does not ignore this message?

Thank You.

Hello dears,

I am also interested to know in which situations we get the failure in the radio interface procedure (14).

If I understand your question, when the UTRAN or the UE is unable to support the ciphering and/or integrity protection algorithms specified in the SECURITY MODE COMMAND message, then the UTRAN shall return to CN a SECURITY MODE REJECT message ‘radio interface Security Control Procedure fails’.
