NBAP

In the 3GPP UTRAN architecture, NBAP (Node B Application Part) is the signalling protocol responsible for the control of the Node B by the RNC. NBAP is subdivided into Common and Dedicated NBAP (C-NBAP and D-NBAP), where Common NBAP controls overall Node B functionality, and Dedicated NBAP controls radio links to specific user equipment. NBAP forms part of the Iub interface. In the 3GPP UTRAN architecture, NBAP (Node B Application Part) is the signalling protocol responsible for the control of the Node B by the RNC.
