Why does LTE Attach completion not by itself prove that the UE has an active user-plane bearer? a. Attach establishes registration/control context; dedicated EPS bearer establishment is a separate step b. User plane is created by the UE without EPC signaling c. Attach only configures PRACH d. Attach occurs after user-plane establishment 25 / 30 25. Two UEs select the same CBRA preamble in the same PRACH occasion. Why might the collision not be immediately obvious from Msg1? a.
