SO_RAI_NO_DATA still does not cause RRC release

Issue is related to  RE: NRF_SO_RAI_NO_DATA does not cause RRC release in SLM/nrf9160 without send 

Just after AT#XSOCKETOPT=1,50 modem should negotiate RRC Release, but it is not the case.

NCS v2.3 nrf9160_1.3.4

  • > AS RAI cannot be used if network does not support it.

    That's again just simplified.

    The impression is: AS RAI is not AS RAI, there are flavors.

    If AS RAI with SO_RAI_ONE_RESP works, but in the same network SO_RAI_NO_DATA doesn't work, there is more to say than that.

  • Hi,

    Achim Kraus said:
    If e.g. Vodafone 26202 NB-IoT doesn't support AS RAI, why does then SO_RAI_ONE_RESP work? Isn't the point, that in some cases SO_RAI_ONE_RESP works, and in other SO_RAI_NO_DATA. But not both, SO_RAI_ONE_RESP and SO_RAI_NO_DATA, in the same case?

    There are 2 mechanisms for RAI - R13 RAI which works on control plane (and it is practically supported everywhere) and AS-RAI which has both user and control plane data. In NB-IoT case, both RAI are in use, which means that in case R14-AS RAI is not found, R13 RAI is used. Cat-M1 only supports R14 AS-RAI, and this is the only option that can be used. Typically, when both R13 and R14 RAI are supported, R14 AS-RAI takes precedence.

    The trace from initial question has been taken from NB-IoT with no PDU for which control plane RAI could be applied. This leaves only R14 AS-RAI as a possible option. Since AS-RAI is not supported by the network, then no RAI is possible. It does not really matter whether SO_RAI_ONE_RESP or SO_RAI_NO_DATA is used because there is no way of reporting anything to the network.

    Best regards,
    Dejan

  • Thanks!

    And that fallback to R13 RAI supports also the "setsockopt" but not the parameter SO_RAI_NO_DATA?

    And, if Vodafone 26202 LTE-M works with  SO_RAI_NO_DATA, why doesn't it work with SO_RAI_ONE_RESP?

    Edited:

    To my very surprise, this morning Vodafone 26202 LTE-M works with SO_RAI_ONE_RESP as well.

    :-) More edited: :-)

    That "success" was only a short one. It was the result from some configuration "leftovers" (switching between XRAI and RAI). It didn't work for a second request. And it doesn't work with a clean setup.

    Therefore the captures:

    26202, LTE-M, AS-RAI, ONE_RESP => not working

    trace-2023-03-29-LTE-M-AS-RAI-ONE_RESP.bin 

    26202, LTE-M, AS-RAI, NO_DATA => working

    trace-2023-03-29-LTE-M-AS_RAI-NO_DATA.bin

  • I also prepared traces for Telekom 26201, NB-IoT, AS-RAI.

    According GSMA Mobile IoT Roaming Features Final 08.09.2022 NB-IoT 26201 supports AS-RAI. Let me know, if the traces show the opposite.

    Telekom 26201, NB-IoT, AS-RAI?, ONE-RESP => working

    trace-2023-03-29_NB-IOT-ONE-RESP.bin

    Telekom 26201, NB-IoT, AS-RAI?, NO-DATA => not working

    trace-2023-03-29-NB-IoT-RAI-NO-DATA.bin

  • Hi,

    Achim Kraus said:

    26202, LTE-M, AS-RAI, NO_DATA => working

    The trace show that R14 AS-RAI is supported.

    Achim Kraus said:
    26202, LTE-M, AS-RAI, ONE_RESP => not working

    The issue here is that since R14 AS-RAI, SO_RAI_ONE_RESP + UDP transmission does not trigger signaling from UE to the network which could accelerate connection release. After receiving response, UE should use SO_RAI_NO_DATA socket option to the socket in order to tell the socket that there is no more data expected.
