SRNC and DRNC are concepts for a connected UE. The SRNC handles the connection to one UE, and may borrow radio resources of a certain cell from the DRNC. Drift RNCs support the Serving RNC by providing radio resources A UE in connection state has at least one and only one SRNC, but can has 0 or multiple DRNCs

Page17
Idle Mode
l
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
p
It enables the UE to receive system information from the PLMN UE can receive paging message from the PICH of a cell It enables the UE to receive cell broadcast services.
The idle mode tasks can be divided into three processes:

p
PLMN selection and reselection Cell selection and reselection Location registration
Page18
Connected Mode
l
When UE is in connected mode, there is normally an RRC connection between UE and UTRAN.
The UE position can be known on different levels:

p
Cell level UTRAN Registration Area (URA) level Dedicated transport channels (DCH) Common transport channels (RACH / FACH, DSCH)
Page19
Connected Mode
l
Cell-DCH
p
In active state Communicating via its dedicated channels UTRAN knows which cell UE stays in
Page21
Connected Mode
l
Cell-FACH
p
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 needs to monitor the FACH for its information UTRAN knows which cell the UE stays in
Page22
Connected Mode
l
Cell-PCH
p
No data to be transmitted or received Monitor PICH, to receive its paging UTRAN knows which cell the UE stays in UTRAN has to update cell information of UE when UE roams to another cell
Lower the power consumption of UE
Page23
Connected Mode
l
URA-PCH
p
No data to be transmitted or received Monitor PICH, to receive its paging UTRAN only knows which URA (which consists of multiple cells) that UE stays UTRAN updates UE information only after UE has roamed to other URA A better way to reduce the resource occupancy and signaling transmission
Page24

- Reduce activity further - Avoid unnecessary signaling

Paging Types
l
The paging information type which is sent by UTRAN is decided by UE mode.

p
If UE is in the Idle mode, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH states, UTRAN sends paging type 1, and UE can use DRX method to monitor PICH. If UE is in the CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH statesUTRAN sends paging type 2.
