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.
The idle mode tasks can be subdivided into three processes:
< PLMN selection and reselection;
< Cell selection and reselection;
< Location registration.
All rights reserved
Page 16

Connected Mode (Cell-DCH, Cell-FACH, Cell-PCH, URA-PCH)
When at least one signalling connection exists, the UE is in
connected mode and there is normally an RRC connection between
UE and UTRAN. The UE position can be known on different levels:
< UTRAN Registration Area (URA) level
The UE position is known on URA level. The URA is a set of
cells
< Cell level
The UE position is known on cell level. Different transport
channel types can be used for data transfer:
< Common transport channels (RACH / FACH, DSCH, CPCH)
< Dedicated transport Channels (DCH)
All rights reserved
Page 17
Cell-DCH
< In active state
< Communicating via its dedicated
channels
< UTRAN knows which cell UE is in.
All rights reserved
Page 18
Cell-FACH and Cell-PCH State

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.
Cell-PCH
< No data to be transmitted or received.
< Monitor PICH, to receive its paging.
< lower the power consumption of UE.
< UTRAN have to update cell information of UE when UE
roams to another cell
All rights reserved
Page 19
URA-PCH State
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.
< UTRAN update UE information only after UE has
roamed to other URA.
< A better way to lower the resource occupancy
and signaling transmission

DRNC
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
Drift RNSs support the Serving RNS by providing radio resources
A UE in connection state has at least one and only one SRNC, but
can has 0 or multiple DRNCs

Dynamical control of power for dedicated channels, within limits
admitted by CRNC, is done by the SRNC.
Scheduling of data for dedicated channels is done by the SRNC,
while for common channels it is done by the CRNC

Questions
Whats the meaning of RAB, RB RL?
How many state on UE can have in WCDMA? Could you
use an example to explain the states?
Could you explain what is the SRNC, DRNC, CRNC?

Cell Setup
The process of cell setup
Setup NCP and CCP in SAAL link stratum, which NCP
carries the NBAP public information and CCP carries the
NBAP dedicated information. One NodeB only can setup
one NCP, but can setup several CCP;
to prepare the cell setting up, the resource of Node B
should be audited.;
Logic cell setup
Setup the common transport channel for cell, including
RACH, FACH and PCH.

All rights reserved
Page 41
Paging caused by CN
The paging information type which is sent by

UTRAN is decided by UE mode.
If UE is in the CELL_FACH or CELL_DCHUTRAN
send paging type 2. In other modes, the paging
information is type 1 and UE can use DTX method
to detecting PICH.
All rights reserved
Page 42
Paging caused by UTRAN
When the system information is modified, UTRAN will send the paging
information to tell UEs which are in IDLE, Cell_PCH or URA_PCH mode. Then,
UE will read the modified system information from BCH.
To change the state of UE which is in Cell_PCH or URA_PCH state, UTRAN
will start a paging flow. Then, UE will start a Cell-Update or URA update flow
for response.

Introduction of Call Process

In WCDMA system, a call process includes the
following basic signaling flows:
RRC Connection flow
Iu interface signaling flow
Authentication flow,
security flow
RAB establish flow.
These basic flows include NAS signaling, and
the authentication and security flow are optional

Forward Handover
Forward Handover is sponsored by UE, including cell update and
URA update. URA update is only used UE which is in URA_PCH
state is doing URA re-selection, and check the RRC connection.
When UE is in Cell_FACH and Cell_PCH state
Cell reselection
In service area, the T304 timer is overdue.
When UE is in Cell_PCH or URA_PCH state:
UE is going to upload data (from Cell_PCH or URA_PCH to
Cell_FACH)
After UE received the paging information from PCCH, UE
sponsored cell update.
