DRNC
Interface
Data
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

Idle Mode
The UE has no relation to UTRAN, only to CN. For data
transfer, a signaling connection has to be established.
UE camps on a cell
It enables the UE to receive system information from the PLMN
UE can monitor PICH of a cell for paging
The idle mode tasks can be divided into three processes:
PLMN selection and reselection
Cell selection and reselection
Location registration
Page21
Connected Mode
When UE is in connected mode
The UE position can be known on different levels:
Cell level (CELL_DCH/CELL_FACH/CELL_PCH)
UTRAN Registration Area (URA) level (URA_PCH)
The UE can use different types of channels in connected mode
Dedicated transport channels (CELL_DCH)
Common transport channels (CELL_FACH)
Page22
Connected Mode
Cell-DCH
In active state
Communicating via its dedicated channels
UTRAN knows which cell UE stays in
Page23
Connected Mode
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 needs to monitor the FACH for its information
UTRAN knows which cell the UE stays in
Page24
Connected Mode
Cell-PCH
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
Page25
Connected Mode
URA-PCH
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
