During attach procedure, UE sends "Attach Request" along with "RRC Connection Setup Complete", eNodeB sends "Attach Accept" along with "RRC Connection Reconfiguration then why UE does not send "Attach Complete" along with "RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete" message ? What could be the reason for defining the messages so ?

Before srb2 configuration, nas messages are transferred with srb1. Srb2 is configured after security activation during RRC connection reconfiguration. so attach complete message is send with srb2

Thanks Veer to provide a logical reason. However I am not 100% sure SRB2 is an optional or mandatory signalling radio bearer. I posted another query lets see what response comes from professionals. I would also appreciate for your response.

Hello, RRC connection establishment is done by dci (it carrier only scheduling information) in PDCCH. So the point is dci carries only scheduling information but does not carry data.

There are couple of procedures are defined which consist of NAS as well as RRC signalling messages exchange.
Some of the NAS message sends to an UE through RRC Connection Reconfiguration message as piggybacked and some as DL Info transfer.

I want to know, Is there any procedure exists in lte when an UE receives RRC Connection Reconfiguration along with NAS message and responds back to network with NAS message first and then Reconfiguration Complete to eNodeB.

Usually, I saw UE sends RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete message first then NAS response message.
