UE Working Modes and states
Idle Mode The UE has no relation to UTRAN, only to CN. For data transfer,
a signalling connection has to be established.
UE camps on a cell It enables the UE to receive system information from the PLMN
When registered and if the UE wishes to establish an RRC
connection, it can do this by initially accessing the network on the
control channel of the cell on which it is camped
UE can receive "paging" message from control channels of the cell.
It enables the UE to receive cell broadcast services.
The idle mode tasks can be subdivided into three processes: PLMN selection and reselection;
Cell selection and reselection;
Location registration.

UE Working Modes and states
Connected Mode (Cell-DCH, Cell-FACH, Cell-PCH, URA-PC
H) When at least one signalling connection exists, the UE is in
connected mode and there is normally an RRC connection
between UE and UTRAN. The UE position can be known on
different levels: UTRAN Registration Area (URA) level
The UE position is known on URA level. The URA is a set of cells
Cell level
The UE position is known on cell level. Different transport channel
types can be used for data transfer:
Common transport channels (RACH / FACH, DSCH, CPCH)
Dedicated transport CHannels (DCH)

UE Working Modes and states
Cell-DCH In active state
Communicating via its dedicated channels
UTRAN knows which cell UE is in.
Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading without Permission.
Security Level: Internal
Cell-FACH and Cell-PCH State
Cell-FACH In active state
Few data to be transmitted both in uplink and in downlink. There is no
need to allocate dedicated channel for this UE.
Downlink uses FACH and uplink uses RACH.
UE need to monitor the FACH for its relative information.
UTRAN knows which cell UE is in.
Cell-PCH No data to be transmitted or received.
Monitor PICH, to receive its paging.
lower the power consumption of UE.
UTRAN knows which cell UE is in.
UTRAN have to update cell information of UE when UE roams to
another cell

Security Level: Internal
URA-PCH State
URA-PCH No data to be transmitted or received.
Monitor PICH.
UTRAN only knows which URA (UTRAN Registration Area,
which consists of multiple cells) that UE is in.
UTRAN update UE information only after UE has roamed to
other URA.
A better way to lower the resource occupancy and signaling

SRNC/DRNC
SRNC and DRNC are on a per connection basis between a UE
and the UTRAN
The SRNC handles the connection to one UE, and may borrow ra
dio resources of a certain cell from the CRNC
Drift RNSs support the Serving RNS by providing radio resources
A UE in connection state has at least one and only one SRNC, but
can has 0 or multiple DRNCs

CRNC
The CRNC owns the radio resources of a cell
Dynamical control of power for dedicated channels, within
limits admitted by CRNC, is done by the SRNC.
Scheduling of data for dedicated channels is done by the
SRNC, while for common channels it is done by the CRNC

Soft Handover
Macro diversity is a operation state in which a User
Equipment simultaneously has radio links with two or more
UTRAN access points. The aim is to improve quality of the
radio connection or provide seamless connection.
Active Set is a set of radio links simultaneously involved in a
specific communication service between an UE and a
UTRAN access point.

system broadcast message)
For UE under CELL_PCH and URA_PCH state transfer data on up link needed (enter CELL_FACH state)
