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 l address dd e.g. all ll UEs UE in i a cell ll or all ll UEs UE monitoring it i 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) 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

UE monitors system information UE monitors paging information (PLMN is not aware of the cell chosen by the UE; PLMN is not aware of the UE in limited service state) state ) UE executes a cell reselection if it finds a more suitable cell to camp on UE executes a location registration to register its presence in the registration area by means of a NAS registration procedure if the new cell is in a different registration area (LA or RA)
