RLC UM mode is not mandatory it is mandatory only when operator is supporting VoLTE. Please check TS 36.331 Table B.1-1.

Hi ,

The main reason for the RLC UM mode is, say e.g User is doing live buffering then there is no need of re transmitting the packets again and again. because it very time sensitive. so these kind of scenario ENB can use UM mode.
