Abstract: A method is described to hold on RRC connections established between a Radio Network Controller (RNC) belonging to a third generation PLMN and some former  Type a  and  Type b  User Equipments (UEs) which do not support at least one Uplink/Downlink (UL/DL) downgraded bitrate among the ones normally triggered by the RNC during a reconfiguration of the Dedicated Channel (DCH) state. These former UEs are of the following types:
       Type a : AMR  +  PS0 / 0kbps not supported and AMR  +  PS8 / 8kbps not supported ;     Type b: AMR  +  PS0 / 0kbps supported and AMR  +  PS8 / 8kbps not supported .   
These old  Type a  and  Type b  are detectable among the other UEs because of it is possible associate to each one of them a respective unique subset of radio access capability parameters with assigned values. The two unique subset are acting as characteristic signatures. During an initial step (F0) the two subset are stored by the network into the system configuration database. In order to avoid drop of a connection due to unacceptable DCH reconfiguration is triggered, the UTRAN reads (F4) the radio access capability parameter combinations and values contained in the  RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE  message from a connected UE under reconfiguration. Then it compares (F4) the readings with the two stored subset in order to detect the presence of  Type a  or  Type b  UE in case a stored subset is included in the read combinations and values. Once either  Type a  or  Type b  UE is detected, UTRAN inhibits (F5, F6) the triggering of a DCH state reconfiguration towards an UL/DL downgraded bitrate which is not supported by the detected type of former UE (fig.6).
