UTRAN Overview
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
Cell-DCH
In active state
Communicating via its dedicated channels UTRAN knows which cell UE is in.
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.
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
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.

CN Iu SRNC Iur 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

The CRNC owns the radio resources of a cell Dynamical control of power for dedicated channels, within
Scheduling of data for dedicated channels is done by the SRNC, while for common channels it is done by the CRNC

The SRNS Relocation function coordinates the activities when the SRNS role is to be taken over by another RNS.
Source RNC is the SRNC before SRNs Relocation and Target RNC is the SRNC after SRNs Relocation

UE originate RRC connection setup for registration. SRNC decides to establish RRC connection on common channel, and uses pre-configured common channel resources.

UE changes DT messages with CN, such as Authentication, connection establishment, location registration, etc.

In registration process, UE does not use dedicated user plane resources. Instead, it release signaling link directly. Thus registration procedure ends.

Soft Handover
Macro diversity is a operation state in which a User Equipment simultaneously has radio links with two or more UTRAN access points. The aim is to improve quality of the radio connection or provide seamless connection.
Active Set is a set of radio links simultaneously involved in a specific communication service between an UE and a UTRAN access point.

Forward Handover
Forward Handover, including CELL UPDATE and URA UPDATE, is originated by UE. URA UPDATE procedure is only used for UE under URA_PCH state to process URA reselection, and to check if RRC connection is right.
transfer data on up link needed (enter CELL_FACH state) upon receiving paging message on PCCH, originate cell update CELL UPDATE process can be used to re-establish unrecoverable errors of RLC entitylosing connection, and to monitor RRC connection state.
