9) What are types of measurements?

Intra-frequency measurements: measurements on downlink physical channels at the

same frequency as the active set. A measurement object corresponds to one cell.
Inter-frequency measurements: measurements on downlink physical channels at
frequencies that differ from the frequency of the active set and on downlink physical
channels in the active set. A measurement object corresponds to one cell.
Inter-RAT measurements: measurements on downlink physical channels belonging to
another radio access technology than UTRAN, e.g. GSM. A measurement object
corresponds to one cell.
Traffic volume measurements: measurements on uplink traffic volume. A measurement
object corresponds to one cell.
Quality measurements: Measurements of downlink quality parameters, e.g. downlink
transport block error rate. A measurement object corresponds to one transport channel
in case of BLER. A measurement object corresponds to one timeslot in case of SIR (TDD
only).
UE-internal measurements: Measurements of UE transmission power and UE received
signal level.
UE positioning measurements: Measurements of UE position.
10) What is paging? Why paging is required?
Paging: This procedure is used to transmit paging information to selected UEs in idle
mode, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state using the paging control channel (PCCH).
Paging can be initiated :
Upper layers in the network may request paging, to e.g. establish a signaling connection.
UTRAN may initiate paging for UEs in CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state to trigger a cell update
procedure.
UTRAN may initiate paging for UEs in idle mode, CELL_PCH and URA_PCH state to trigger
reading of updated system information.
UTRAN may also initiate paging for UEs in CELL_PCH and URA_PCH state to release the
RRC connection.
11) Type of Paging?
Paging Type 1
Paging Type 2(UE dedicated paging)
12) When dedicated paging is used?
a. This procedure is used to transmit dedicated paging information to one UE in connected
mode in CELL_DCH , CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH (FDD only) state. Upper layers in the
network may request initiation of paging.

b. For a UE in CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH (FDD only) state, UTRAN initiates the
procedure by transmitting a PAGING TYPE 2 message on the DCCH using AM RLC. When
not stated otherwise elsewhere, the UTRAN may initiate the UE dedicated paging
procedure also when another RRC procedure is ongoing, and in that case the state of the
latter procedure shall not be affected.
c. UTRAN should set the IE "Paging cause" to the cause for paging received from upper
layers. If no cause for paging is received from upper layers, UTRAN should set the value
"Terminating cause unknown".
13) In what situation UE goes to CELL PCH and URA PCH states?
a. Cell PCH:
This happens when UE doesnt require an active Connection(common/dedicated). But
still needs to be connected, as its expecting a n/w initiated or terminated call(CS or PS)
in future
b. URA PCH:
In Cell PCH UE is still identified on cell level, but now in the cell where UE made its last
update, when it was in CELL_FACH state.At regular time interval, UE would have to move
in CELL_FACH state to update the location area. If UE is traveling, this update will
become frequent because of changing cells. If UE is traveling continuously from one cell
to another. It would have to transit multiple time to CELL_FACH state for location update.
By assigning URA_PCH state, this condition is avoided, since 1 URA contains one or more
cells and vice versa
14) What is Cell Update Procedure? What are various Cell Update causes?
Uplink data transmission:
For FDD, if the variable H_RNTI is not set, and for TDD:

if the UE is in URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state; and

if the UE has uplink RLC data PDU or uplink RLC control PDU on RB1 or upwards
to transmit:
perform cell update using the cause "uplink data transmission".
Paging response:
if the criteria for performing cell update with the cause specified above. are not met; and
if the UE in URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state, receives a PAGING TYPE 1 .message fulfilling the conditions for
initiating a cell update procedure.

perform cell update using the cause "paging response".

Radio link failure:
if none of the criteria for performing cell update with the causes specified above in the current subclause
is met:

if the UE is in CELL_DCH state and the criteria for radio link failure are ,or
