In plain words

In 3GPP TS 38.331, RLC-BearerConfig configures an RLC (radio link control) entity, its MAC logical channel, and its link to a PDCP entity. Its rlc-Config field "Determines the RLC mode (UM, AM) and provides corresponding parameters.", while reestablishRLC indicates that RLC should be re-established. The SEQUENCE has 13 fields, with 5 from Rel-15, 1 from Rel-16, 4 from Rel-17, 1 from Rel-18, and 2 from Rel-19.

How this page was made

The facts box comes straight from the 3GPP TDoc list and specification archive as indexed by 3GPP Scout. An AI model (GPT-6 Luna) wrote the paragraph and named the source of each sentence. Code checked every quote word for word against the stored source text and every number against the cited source. A second AI model from another company (Claude Opus 5.5) reviewed the paragraph against the same sources. The 3GPP documents themselves govern.
