Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
What is Idle Mode? 1. OFF Mode 2. IDLE MODE 3. CONNECTED MODE
UE in IDLE MODE has the following properties : • UE is Powered ON , while it doesn't have connection to the Radio Network • UE is synchronized with Radio Network and can read broadcast information , Accordingly UE can access the Network request services . • UE is ed on the network , updating Network with its LAC , Accordingly UE becomes reachable by the network Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
Services Types in Idle Mode • Normal Service • When the UE select accepted level cell in its HPLMN
• Limited Service • When the UE didn’t find any accepted level cells at its home PLMN it selects any accepted level cell at any other PLMN
• Operator reserved services • The operator can reserve any cell for testing only and this through two parameters cell reserved and Access classNbarred Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
PLMN Selection • PLMN Selection – What is it ? And When it happens ? What are the types of PLMN selection • PLMN Selection is the process in which the UE decide which PLMN it should in and this process happens when the Mobile turned on or when the mobile returned back from limiting service – Automatic PLMN selection – Manual PLMN selection
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
Automatic PLMN selection • When the mobile powered on • The mobile uses information about the last ed PLMN (Freq, the stored neighbors before off) • Mobile search the strongest signal cells and read its system information to get (MCC and MNC) • If the chosen cell is accepted the mobile try to do the registration • If the last chosen cell not available or there is no stored info in the mobile USIM then the mobile might select any accepted PLMN automatically or manually
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• In the automatic selection if no last PLMN exists or available the Mobile will select the PLMN that is available and allowed as follow – HPLMN if not previously selected due to RAT – Each PLMN in controlled PLMNs list in the USIM, in order of priority – Each PLMN in operator controlled PLMN list in the USIM, in order of priority – Other PLMNs according to the high quality criteria randomly the minimum ICH RS power is -95dBm – Other PLMNs that don’t fulfill high quality criteria

Cell selection procedure • Squal = Qqualmeas – qQualMin (For WCDMA) – Qqualmeas is ICH Ec/No – qQualMin is minimum required Ec/No
• Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas - qRxlevMin – Pcompensation (For all cells) – Qrxlevmeas is ICH RS – qRxlevMin is minimum required RS
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
– Pcompensation=Max(maxTXpowerUL-P , 0) • P is maximum O/P power of the UE accoring to its class • maxTXpowerUL is maximum power used in accessing
• The cell consider as accepted if – Squal > 0 and – Srxlev > 0
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• Cell selection occurs when • When UE is switched on • When UE in idle mode has had a number of failed RRC connection request • When a UE returns to idle mode from the connection mode on common channel (cell-FACH) after a number of failed cell update • UE returns to idle mode from connected mode (cellDCH) • When a UE returns to idle mode after an emergency call on any PLMN
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
Cell reselection procedure • When it occurs – When cell on which it is camping is no longer suitable – When there is any neighbor with better quality than the selected one – When the UE in the limited service state on an acceptable cell – When the UE is in cell _FACH state
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• According to the cell reselection criteria. In order to perform cell ranking, the UE measures the serving cell and neighbor cells listed in SIB11 according to the measurement rules . i.
Measurement rules for cell reselection 1. Intra frequency measurements starts when Squal <= Sintrasearch
SintraSearch : Controls when intra-frequency measurements are performed (0 dBm)
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
2. Inter frequency measurements starts when Squal <= SinterSearch
Sintersearch : Controls when intra-frequency measurements are performed (0 dBm) 3. GSM measurements starts when Squal <= sRatSearch OR Srxlev <= SHcsRat sRatSearch : Controls quality Threshold at which GSM measurements are performed (4 dBm) SHcsRat : Controls Signal Strength Threshold at which GSM measurements are performed (3 dBm)

Time (s)
• When the UE triggers a cell reselections procedure it starts ranking for the cell satisfy S-criteria (Squal > 0 and Srxlev > 0) and the ranking will be according R-criteria – R(serving)= Qmeas(s)+qHyst(s) – R(neighbor)= Qmeas(n)-qOffset(s,n) Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• Qmeas: is the quality value of the received signal which is derived from • ICH Ec/No or • ICH RS
• qHyst(s): hystersis value sent to mobile in system information used to delay the reselection as possible on the LA boarders – qHyst1 if the ranking based on ICH RS – qHyst2 if the ranking based on ICH Ec/No
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• qOffset(s,n): is the offset between the serving and the neighbor cell also used to shift the cell boarder – qOffset1sn : if the ranking based on RS, there are 2 qOffset1sn one for WCDMA neighbor and the other one for GSM neighbor. – qOffset2sn : if the ranking based on Ec/No • qualMeasQuantity is the parameter that determine if we will do the ranking based on RS or Ec/No • The UE reslect the better cell if it stay better for time interval more than Treselection Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010

Cell reselection
• FACH-connected cell reselection – During the FACH-connected mode the UE use secondary common control physical channel (SCCH) – The parameters used to control the measurement fachMeasOccaCycLenCoeff and interFreqFddMeasIndicator – fachMeasOccaCycLenCoeff (K) used to show when the UE has to do this measurment this value should be greater than 0 and this value send to mobile via system information – FACH measurment occasions are defined as being the frame where the following equation is fulfilled SFN= C-RNTI mod n*2^K C-RNTI is the cell UE identity (16 bits) & n is the frame number 0,1,2,….
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
– InterFreqFddMeasIndicator is a value set to True or False if it set to True the UE will perform the reselection criteria on inter frequency or inter RAT and if it is set false it will not do

Location area Update and Routing area Update
• After a UE has found a suitable cell it tries to make PLMN registration. • If the LAI or RAI read on system information has been changed then the UE tries to do RA or LA registration Update • During the idle mode when the UE changes its location or routing area it should do LAU or RAU • LAU and RAU managed by CN Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• Types of Updates – Periodic • Occurs periodically after timer T3212 for LAU or T3312 for RAU, the value of the timer sent to the UE over BCCH in the IMSI attach or in RAU , it is CN parameter, when the UE is in connected mode and the timer expired then the UE wait until enter idle mode again to perform the periodic LA
– Normal • Occurs when the UE change its LA or RA, the UE discover the changes after comparing the new Cell RAC or LAC with the stored values in the USIM Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
– IMSI attach and detach • IMSI attach occurs when the UE activated in the same LA in which it was before deactivation and the detach occurs when UE deactiated • This function used to prevent unnecessary paging for the off UEs • IMSI attach is an optional function and it is managed by cell parameter called ATT sent to UE over BCCH – If ATT set to 1 it means the UE should do IMSI attach and detach – When the UE is turned on it sent registration request indicate IMSI attach to find out if the LA changed or not if changed it send normal LA update
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
Paging • Is the process through it the CN inform the UE there is a service request or RAN inform all the UEs that the System information has been updated also to initiate the channel switch from URA-PCH to Cell-FACH state • Paging occurs in the following states – Idle – URA-PCH – Cell-FACH – Cell-DCH Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• Paging in Idle mode and URA-PCH – PICH and S-CCH are used to page the UE • PICH used to tell the UE when to read S-CCH • S-CCH used to carry RRC message type1 which includes actual paging info and the number of times the WCDMA RAN will retransmit the paging (noOfPagingRecordTransm)
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• DRX – In the Idle mode the UE should in order to save its power consumption to listen to the PICH in certain predefined times 288 bits for paging indication b0 b1
b287 b288
One radio frame (10 ms)
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
12 bits (undefined) b299
– 288 bits are divided to number of PIs each PI related to one paging group and each paging group related to one – The number of PIs in a PICH frame is given by parameter named PichMode • If PichMode is 72 that mean we have 72 PIs and each one 4 bits
– The UE monitors one PI in one paging occasion per DRX cycle • The length of DRX cycle is given by 2^k * 10(ms)
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• Where k is the DRX cycle Length coefficient defined by cnDRXcycleLengthCS (PS) • Different DRX cycle for CS, PS and URA-PCH
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• Paging in cell-FACH and cell-DCH – When the establish connection between UE and RAN is existing Paging type 2 message are sent to the it is carried on DCCH so it is only for one .
• Updated System information – RRC message “paging type1” sent to the UE in the idle mode to inform it about the updated SI
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
System Information
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• The UE read System information when – Powered on – Cell change in idle mode or Cell-FACH – UE informed that change occurred in system information while it is in idle mode or Cell-FACH – UE switches from Dedicated mode to Common Mode. – Timer expires for SIBs with expiration time.

Radio Connection Supervision
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
Radio Connection Supervision • Supervision of the UE in State Cell-FACH and URA-PCH • Supervision of the UE in Cell-DCH
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• What is the radio link supervision Is the algorithm supervises the radio connection between the UE and the UTRAN during all the connected states, the reason of this is to check if the UTRAN still control the UE or not and to prevent undue charging and increase the efficiency of resources usage. Occurs in both of Uplink and Downlink
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
Supervision in Cell-FACH and URA-PCH
• In CELL_FACH state, supervision is provided by monitoring periodic Cell Update messages sent by the UE. The timer cchWaitCuT is started whenever the UE enters the CELL_FACH state, or upon transmission of a Cell Update CONFIRM message to the UE. The timer is stopped if the UE enters CELL_DCH state and is reset to zero (but not stopped) upon receipt of a Cell Update from the UE. Upon expiry of the timer, the overall release of the connection shall be triggered. The time set on cchWaitCuT is longer than the one set on timer t305. The timer t305 indicates how often the UE has to send a Cell Update message.
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
Cell Update Message will be sent either when t305 expires or when the UE change its serving cell In URA PCH state the UE sent URA_Update Message instead of Cell_ Update as in Cell FACH case T305 expires CCHWAITCUT starts

Supervision in Cell-DCH • In CELL_DCH state, the Radio Connection Supervision functionality is provided by means of two different algorithms: the Radio Link Set Supervision algorithm, located in the RBS, s the Radio Connection Supervision Evaluation algorithms, located in the SRNC
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
The Radio Link consider failed if and only if radio link failure indication send from the 2 RBSs Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• Radio Connection Supervision (RCS) Evaluation The Radio Connection Supervision Evaluation algorithm keeps track of the synchronization status of the whole radio connection by asg a tag to every RLS.
Copy Rights © LEGEND Co. 2010
• Radio Link Set (RLS) Supervision The RLS Supervision function supervises the synchronization status of the RLS provided by the RBS to the radio connection, and reports any changes to the SRNC. When nOutSyncInd number of consecutive frames are out-of-sync a timer rlFailureT is started and at expiry the RLS is considered outof-sync and Radio Link Failure is reported to the SRNC. When the RLS is out-of-sync and nInSyncInd number of frames are in-sync, the RLS is considered in-sync and Radio Link Restore is reported to the SRNC.

Q
• The connection is considered lost by the RCS when the last RLS, for the connection, has been out-of-sync for a time given by the parameter dchRcLostT. For a connection that includes HSDPA, the PS part of the connection is considered lost by the RCS when the RLS that contains the Serving HS-DSCH cell, has been out-of-sync for a time given by the parameter hsDschRcLostT. This means that when the hsDschRcLostT timer expires, an Iu Release will be requested to the PS CN and when the dchRcLostT timer expires, an Iu Release will be requested to all involved CNs.

Outer Loop Power control • The outer loop power control algorithm performed for DL in the UE and for the UL in the RNC • The Main idea behind the outer loop power control is to set proper SIR target • SIR target value change according to blerQualitytargetDl • SIR target value should be between SIR Max 173 (17.3 dB) and SIR min -82(-8.2 dB) • UL outer loop power control could be either jump regulator or constant step regulator by ulOuterLoopRegulator parameter
1 Jump Regulator

0 constant step
Jump Regulator
SIRtarget= SIRtarget + ulSirStep(-x/(z*UPDOWNSTEPRATIO)+Y/Z)
Where: •ulSirStep = 0 to 50 in 0.1 step default 10 (1 dB) •X = Number of Transport blocks that have CRC OK •Z= Total Number of received Transport blocks •Y= Number of transport blocks that have CRC NG •UPDOWNSTEPRATIO= (1/blerQualityTargetUL * 0.5) -1 default value is 199 •blerQualityTargetUL = -63 to 0 default is -2 (0.01)

SIR_Target=5.9 dB CRC=OK Will continuo to drop until receive bad CRC
The SRNC will Update the SIR target value for the UL in resolution of 0.1 dB to prevent excessive Iub signaling. ulInitSirTaget = 4.9 SIRTarget= 4.9+1(-0/(199*1) +1/1) = 5.9 …………………………………………………………………………………. NG frame received

Step Regulator If ulOuterLoopRegulator set to 0 the Step regulator will work Idea of step regulator is as following : •The SIR target should increased by “ulSirStep” when one NG CRC have been Received • And decreased by “ulSirStep” if number of good CRC equal to (1/(1.5blerQualityTargetUL) (0.5) Default 133 133 Good CRC
