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.

Cell-DCH
In active state
Communicating via its dedicated channels
UTRAN knows which cell UE is in.
Confidential
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.
UTRAN knows which cell UE is in.
Cell-PCH
No data to be transmitted or received.
Monitor PICH, to receive its paging.
lower the power consumption of UE.
UTRAN knows which cell UE is in.
UTRAN have to update cell information of UE when UE roams to
another cell
Confidential
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
