UE Modes
Idle mode (paging area is known; paging needed) UE is identified by non-access stratum identities such as IMSI, TMSI and P-TMSI UTRAN has no own information about the individual UEs in idle mode (no RRC connection) UTRAN can only address e.g. all UEs in a cell or all UEs monitoring a specific paging occasion Connected mode (cell or URA is known; RRC connection) connected mode is entered when the UTRAN establishes and maintains information about the individual UE (RRC connection) RRC connection is established between UE and Serving RNC UE is assigned a radio network temporary identity (U-RNTI and possibly a C-RNTI) to be used as UE identity on common transport channels (RACH, FACH, PCH) connected mode does not require assignment of physical channel resources

PS Mobility Management (PMM) is independent of Session Management (SM), e.g. availability of IP address & traffic activity
PMM is independent of the number and state of PDP contexts for the subscriber In both the PMM-IDLE and the PMM-CONNECTED states, session management may or may not have activated a PDP context (assigned a dynamic IP address)

A GPRS subscription contains the subscription of one or more IP addresses Each IP address is described by one or more PDP contexts in the MS, SGSN, and GGSN Each PDP context is associated with A QoS profile a traffic flow template (TFT) to discriminate flows sharing the same PDP address Every PDP context exists independently in one of two PDP states The PDP state indicates whether data transfer is enabled for that PDP address and TFT or not

Relation between MM and PDP states: All PDP contexts of a subscriber are associated with the same MM context for the IMSI of that subscriber

PDP context
The MM state is independent of the number and state of PDP contexts for the subscriber
In both the PMM-IDLE and the PMM-CONNECTED states, session management may or may not have activated a PDP context
