if the transmission of the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message fails.

perform cell update using the cause "radio link failure".


MBMS ptp RB request:
if none of the criteria for performing cell update with the causes specified above in the current subclause
is met; and
if the UE is in URA_PCH, Cell_PCH or Cell_FACH state; and
if the UE should perform cell update for MBMS ptp radio bearer request,
perform cell update using the cause "MBMS ptp RB request".
Re-entering service area:
if none of the criteria for performing cell update with the causes specified above in the current subclause
is met; and
if the UE is in CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH state; and
2> if the UE has been out of service area and re-enters service area before T307 or T317 expires:

3> perform cell update using the cause "re-entering service area".
RLC unrecoverable error:
if none of the criteria for performing cell update with the causes specified above in the current subclause
is met; and
if the UE detects RLC unrecoverable error [16] in an AM RLC entity:

perform cell update using the cause "RLC unrecoverable error".


Cell reselection:
if none of the criteria for performing cell update with the causes specified above in the current subclause
is met:

if the UE is in CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH state and the UE performs cell re-selection; or


if the UE is in CELL_FACH state and the variable C_RNTI is empty:
perform cell update using the cause "cell reselection".
Periodical cell update:
if none of the criteria for performing cell update with the causes specified above in the current subclause
is met; and
if the UE is in CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH state; and
if the timer T305 expires; and
if the criteria for "in service area" and
if periodic updating has been configured by T305 in the IE "UE Timers and constants in connected mode"
set to any other value than "infinity":

perform cell update using the cause "periodical cell update".

MBMS reception:
if none of the criteria for performing cell update with the causes specified above in the current subclause
is met; and
if the UE is in URA_PCH, Cell_PCH or Cell_FACH state; and
if the UE should perform cell update for MBMS counting ,
perform cell update using the cause "MBMS reception".

15) What is Active set?


Active Set is defined as the set of Node-Bs the UE is simultaneously connected to (i.e.,
the UTRA cells currently assigning a downlink DPCH to the UE constitute the active set).
16) What is Monitor set and detected set Cells?
a. Cells, which are not included in the active set, but are included in the CELL_INFO_LIST
belong to the Monitored Set.
b. Cells detected by the UE, which are neither in the CELL_INFO_LIST nor in the active set
belong to the Detected Set. Reporting of measurements of the detected set is only
applicable to intra-frequency measurements made by UEs in CELL_DCH state.
17) What are the various types of RNC?
a. Serving RNC
b. Drift RNC
c. Controlling RNC
18) What is the use and difference between CRNC, Drift RNC and SRNC?
RNC from which the UE is currently getting Served or connected to is called SRNC or
Serving RNC.
During a soft handover procedure the RNC UE is moving to, is called Drift RNC.
The RNC which controls the movement of UE from Serving RNC to the Drift RNC is called
Controlling RNC.
19) What is initial direct transfer message? What is the use?
The initial direct transfer procedure is used in the uplink to establish a signaling
connection. It is also used to carry an initial upper layer (NAS) message over the radio
interface.
