    This technology was introduced to 3G networks to conserve device battery life by switching mobile devices between different connection states. When transferring data, the device is in a high-speed state. It can send a message to request an idle state where the physical connection is removed but the IP address is kept. However, this idle state has a delay of up to 2.5 seconds to reestablish a channel for data exchange. Alternatively, a power-saving state called cell_PCH only requires occasionally checking the paging channel and has a lower delay of 0.9 seconds to set up a channel.

    This technology was introduced to 3G UMTS to save the current consumption of the

    device by switching between different mobile device activities states on the ai


    r interface. When transferring data, the mobile is in cell_DCH state and uses th
    e high speed channels to transmit and receive data.
    The UE sends a Signalling Connection Release Indication (SCRI) message to RNC wi
    thout IE SCRI Cause. By doing this the UE requests a release of signalling connect
    ions and move to Cell_Idle state. Then network puts the connection in idle state
    in which the physical connection is removed while the IP address is kept.
    While the handsets in idle state then there is a delay up to 2.5s to establish a
    channel to do data exchange. But in cell_PCH the downlink does not have to be o
    bserved continuously, only the paging channel must be checked every now and then
    to make sure incoming connections can be established. So this state is efficien
    t as staying in idle state and the signalling connections stays in place. And th
    e delay to establish a channel to do data exchange is only 0.9s.
