This invention is related to a system and method to setup a radio link in a CDMA mobile communication network. In particular, a radio network controller (RNC) sends a radio link setup request message, and a processing device receives the radio link setup request message. The processing device sends a radio link setup response message to the RNC, and the response is received the RNC and includes frame and chip offset information. In particular, frame and chip offset in a RNSAP Radio Link Setup Response message (after execution of UE involved relocation) is conveyed. A new SRNC will then include a random frame offset in the RNSAP Radio Link Setup Request message. The eHSPA Node B will ignore the random frame offset, and include the correct frame offset in the RNSAP Radio Link Setup Response message.
