CELL_PCH and URA_PCH State

no DCCH and DTCH Before uplink transmission UE moves to CELL_FACH UE must be paged RRC messages on BCCH and PCCH In CELL_PCH - UE location known on cell level - UE performs cell re-selection and cell updates In CELL URA - UE location known on URA level - UE performs cell re-selection and URA updates

Nokia Parameters for the UTRAN Registration Area (URA)

WCEL: URAId The URA identity is the identity of the UTRAN Registration Area. Overlapping URAs can be defined. A maximum of eight URA identities can be defined per cell. This parameter is part of System Information Block 2. [1 ... 65535], step 1. WCEL: URAIdList A list of URA identities. A maximum of 8 URA identities can be defined per cell. The first URA-ID in the URA-ID list is a master URA-ID, which is given to all mobile stations in this cell. This parameter is part of System Information Block 2.

Nokia Parameters for System Information

In RAN 1.5, the SIBs 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 12 are supported.

RNC: SIB1_priority The priority of the system information block 1, which is used by the scheduling algorithm in the RNC to give precedence to the SIB. [1 ... 4], with 1 being the highest priority. Similar Nokia parameters exist for the remaining SIBs. WCEL: SIB7factor This parameter sets the SIB7 expiration timer for the UE according to the following formula: MAX([320ms], SIB_REP x value of 'SIB7 expiration time factor'). [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256]; default: 1.

Cell update causes in priority order: Uplink data transmission Paging response Radio link failure Re-entering service area RLC unrecoverable error Cell reselection Periodical cell update in in in in in in in URA_PCH, CELL_PACH URA_PCH, CELL_PACH CELL_DCH (*) CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH all sub-states CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH

When do I have to perform a cell/ URA update?

URA update causes in priority order: (the UE is in the URA_PCH sub-state) URA reselection Periodic URA update

(*) or when the transmission of the RRC message UE Capability Information failed.
