2 Overview
2 Overview
When fast dormancy or enhanced fast dormancy is applied, the UE can request the RNC to release the
PS signaling connection if no more PS data is transmitted. After receiving the request, the RNC can
either release the signaling connection and put the UE into idle mode, or maintain the signaling
connection and put the UE into an efficient battery consumption RRC state such as IDLE, CELL_PCH.

UEs complying with 3GPP Release 8 support the fast dormancy function, as defined in 3GPP TS 25.331
CR3483. After a UE processing only PS services finishes the PS data transmission, it sends the RNC a
Signaling Connection Release Indication (SCRI) message, which contains the cause value of "UE
Requested PS Data session end". Upon receiving the message, the RNC releases the RRC connection
of the UE and enables the UE to quickly enter the power saving mode.
The following figure shows the procedure of fast dormancy.
Figure 3-1 Fast dormancy
The RNC sends timer T323 in SIB1 or UTRAN Mobility Information to the UE to control fast dormancy.
z

If the value of T323 is INVALID, the timer is not sent to the UE, and accordingly the UE does not send
the SCRI message containing the information element (IE) "UE Requested PS Data session end".
If the value of T323 is 0, the UE sends the release request only once.
If the value of T323 is a value other than 0, the UE sends the release request and initiates timer T323.
The UE sends the release request again after T323 expires.

Fast Dormancy
Enhanced fast dormancy applies to a network that serves a large number of intelligent UEs supporting
fast dormancy. This function can reduce the signaling processing efforts of the RNC and avoid overflow
of the signaling processing unit in the RNC that fast dormancy may cause.
To save power, when there is no PS data transmission, an intelligent UE sends the RNC an SCRI
message to request the RRC connection release or to indicate to the UTRAN that one of its signaling
connections has been released. In addition, the UE periodically sends the heartbeat messages (to check
new mails in the mail server for example) to the core network.
If fast dormancy (instead of enhanced fast dormancy) is applied, the RNC releases the RRC connection
as specified by the 3GPP specifications. In such a case, the heartbeat messages will lead to performing
the procedures of RRC connection setup, authentication, encryption, and RAB setup. This greatly
increases the signaling processing efforts of the RNC and may cause overflow of the signaling
processing unit in the RNC.
Enhanced fast dormancy is introduced to solve the preceding problem. With the application of enhanced
fast dormancy, the RNC changes the UE state to CELL_PCH instead of idle mode after receiving the
SCRI message from the UE. In such a case, when the UE periodically sends the heartbeat messages,
the signaling procedure between the UE and RNC is simplified because the RRC connection is
maintained. As the number of signaling exchange messages decreases, the CPU resources of the RNC
can be saved significantly, and the UE consumes as less battery energy as a UE in idle mode.
The following figure shows the comparison between fast dormancy and enhanced fast dormancy.

Figure 4-1 Comparison between fast dormancy and enhanced fast dormancy
R8 fast dormancy: This mechanism is standardized by 3GPP Release 8. As specified, the UE sends a
SIGNALLING CONNECTION RELEASE INDICATION (SCRI) message to the network with the IE
Signaling Connection Release Indication Cause set to "UE Requested PS Data session end."
The RNC can identify this type of UE by the SCRI message with IE "UE Requested PS Data session
end."
Pre-R8 fast dormancy: This mechanism, which is not standardized, is used for the early proprietary
implementations of fast dormancy prior to Release 8.
The RNC can identify this type of UE by its IMEI and its release version.
After the RNC receives the Security Mode Command Complete message from the UE, the RNC
identifies fast dormancy UEs as follows:
z
(Pre-R8 fast dormancy) that complies with 3GPP Release 5 or later releases and whose IMEI
falls into the white list. The IMEI range for white list is specified by the binary group (TAC,
FastDormancy = ON) in the RNC MML command ADD UIMEITAC. If the FastDormancy switch is
on, the RNC considers the UEs specified by the IMEI (TAC) as capable of enhanced fast dormancy.
UE
z
(R8 fast dormancy) from which the SCRI message whose cause value is "UE Requested PS
Data session end." is sent.

UEs
complying with 3GPP Release 5 or later releases are identified as fast dormancy UE excluding
the UEs in the black list..The IMEI range for the black list is specified by the binary group (TAC,
FastDormancy = OFF) in the RNC MML command ADD UIMEITAC. If the FastDormancy switch is
OFF, the RNC considers the UEs specified by the IMEI (TAC) as incapable of enhanced fast
dormancy.
The RNC can obtain the IMEI of the UE from the UE's response to the "IDENTITY REQUEST" message.
The range of the IMEI is specified by the parameter TAC in the RNC MML command ADD UIMEITAC.
The IMEI (consisting of 14 decimal digits and one check digit) contains information on the origin, model,
and serial number of the UE. The structure of the IMEI is specified in 3GPP TS 23.003.

The Type Allocation Code (TAC) indicates the particular type of device that has been approved by a
national GSM/WCDMA approval body. In the 3GPP specifications released later than 2003, the TAC
length is changed from 6 bit to 8 bit.
The Final Assembly Code (FAC), which is manufacturer-specific, indicates the location where the UE
is manufactured.
SNR is the serial number identifying the UE.
The RNC can determine whether a UE supports fast dormancy according to the information on the
manufacturer and model contained in the TAC.
If the UE is identified as R8 UE (the UE can report the SCRI with R8 extensional cause of data
session end),
If
the RNC received the SCRI with the cause of data session end, the RNC transfers the UE to
CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH.
the RNC received the SCRI or if the inactive timer for enhanced fast dormancy times out, the RNC
transfers the UE to CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH.
The following figure shows the detailed state transition of a fast dormancy UE.

If the UE is a fast dormancy UE and is not processing CS services, when the PS inactivation timer
for fast dormancy expires or the RNC receives the SCRI message or 4B event from the UE, the
state transition of the UE is performed as follows:
z
RSVDBIT1_BIT29 in SET URRCTRLSWITCH is set to 0, RNC will trigger the D2F state
transition.
If
z
RSVDBIT1_BIT29 in SET URRCTRLSWITCH is set to 1, RNC will trigger the D2P state
transition.

P2I
Note: for the switch, the value 0 means on and 1 means off.
If the switch PROCESSSWITCH > FD_P2D_SWITCH (ADD UIMEITAC) is turned on:
If the TAC of the UE is the same as that configured on the RNC and if the UE is in the
CELL_PCH and the UE is going to transmit uplink data or respond to paging message, the RNC
instructs the UE to perform P2D directly.
If the UE reports event 4A to the RNC, the RNC instructs the UE to enter the CELL_DCH state.
If the UE reports event 4B to the RNC, the RNC instructs the UE to enter the CELL_PCH state.
When the fast dormancy UE periodically sends small heartbeat messages, the normal state
transition mechanism will change the UE status from the CELL_FACH state to CELL_DCH state.
To prevent the state transition triggered by small heartbeat messages, a new threshold for Event
4A (FastDormancyF2DHTvmThd) is introduced.
To avoid too many UEs remaining in the CELL_FACH state, fast dormancy ensures that the state
transition switch does not affect the 4A and 4B measurement and state transition from
CELL_FACH to other state for fast dormancy UEs in CELL_FACH.
