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 radio resources of a certain cell from the DRNC

Scheduling of data for dedicated channels is done by the SRNC, while for common channels it is done by the CRNC

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.
PLMN selection and reselection; Cell selection and reselection; Location registration.
Page22
Connected Mode
When at least one signalling connection exists, the UE is in connected mode and there is normally an RRC connection
Cell level The UE position is known on cell level. Different transport channel types can be used for data transfer:
Connected Mode
Cell-DCH
In active state Communicating via its dedicated channels UTRAN knows which cell UE is in.
Page25
Connected Mode
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.
Page26
Connected Mode
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
Page27
Connected Mode
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.

In Iu interface, radio network layer reports the RANAP information and NAS information. NAS information is taken as directed message in RANAP information.
And the process of Iu signaling connection is to establish the Iu interface connection of SCCP between RNC and CN.

Forward Handover
Forward Handover is sponsored by UE, including cell update and URA update. URA update is only used to make the URA re-selection for the UE which is in URA_PCH state, and check the RRC connection.

Summary
This chapter mainly explains the basic signaling flow in UTRAN. This is very helpful for the CN signaling flow.
