2.1 Introduction to UE Behaviors in Idle Mode

This describes the UE behaviors in idle mode in terms of the purposes and Network Elements
(NEs) involved.
Introduction
Definition
The UE enters the idle mode immediately after the switch-on. The feature "UE behaviors in idle
mode" ensures that the UE is ready to start a service (for example, to make a call or pick a call).
The behaviors mainly include network selection, location registration, paging reception, and
system information reception.
1. PLMN selection
This procedure ensures that the PLMN selected by the UE provides services properly.
2. Cell selection and reselection
This procedure ensures that the UE finds a suitable cell to camp on.
3. Location registration
This procedure is used by the UE to report its status to the network. This procedure is mainly
of two types: periodical location registration and the location registration caused by location
area change.
In addition, the UE in idle mode takes the following actions:
l Paging reception
The UE detects the paging indicate on the PICH within the predefined time and receives
the corresponding paging information on the S_CCPCH.
l System information reception
The network broadcasts the network information to the UE that camps on the cell. Upon
reception of system information, the UE obtains the network information and takes actions
accordingly.
Purposes
This feature enables the UE to behave as follows:
l Receive system information from the PLMN
l Get ready to establish the RRC connection
l Get ready to respond to paging messages
l Receive cell broadcast services
l Report the UE status to the network periodically or be triggered by events
Impact
Impact on System Performance
This feature has impacts on the following aspects:
l The network parameter affects the success rate of service access and paging.

RAN
UE Behaviors in Idle Mode Description 2 UE Behaviors in Idle Mode Overview
l The network parameter affects the power consumption of the UE in idle mode.
l The capability of the UE affects the quality of received signals.
l The load of the network affects the UE's access to a cell. When the load is heavy, the UE
may fail to access the cell.
Impact on Other Features
None.

Description
About This Chapter
This describes the technical aspects of UE behaviors in idle mode and the parameters.
3.1 UE Behaviors in Idle Mode

After the UE is switched on, it can access the network through automatic PLMN selection, cell
selection/reselection, and location registration to obtain network services. In addition, the UE
in idle mode can also respond to paging and receive system information.
3.2 UE Behaviors in Idle Mode Parameters
This lists the parameters related to UE behaviors in idle mode and the parameter tables.

RAN
3 UE Behaviors in Idle Mode Technical Description UE Behaviors in Idle Mode Description
3.1 UE Behaviors in Idle Mode

After the UE is switched on, it can access the network through automatic PLMN selection, cell
selection/reselection, and location registration to obtain network services. In addition, the UE
in idle mode can also respond to paging and receive system information.
3.1.1 PLMN Selection

At switch-on, or following recovery from lack of coverage, or selecting a cell that belongs to
other PLMNs, the UE will select a PLMN. The PLMN selection procedure is used for finding
a suitable PLMN.
3.1.2 Cell Selection
When the PLMN is selected and the UE is in idle mode, the UE starts to select a cell that belongs
to the selected PLMN to camp on and to obtain normal services.
3.1.3 Cell Reselection
The signal strength of both serving cell and neighboring cells varies with the movement of a UE
and so the UE needs to select the most suitable cell to camp on. This process is called cell
reselection. The cell reselection involves three parts: cell reselection process, measurement start
criteria, and cell reselection criteria.
3.1.4 Location Registration
Location registration is used for the PLMN to trace the current status of the UE. Location
registration ensures that the UE is connected to the network when the UE does not perform any
operation for a long period.
3.1.5 Paging Reception
By receiving paging messages, the UE is notified of the service requests made by the CN and
the changes in system information.
3.1.6 System Information Reception
Upon reception of system information, the UE obtains the network information and takes actions
accordingly.
3.1.1 PLMN Selection

At switch-on, or following recovery from lack of coverage, or selecting a cell that belongs to
other PLMNs, the UE will select a PLMN. The PLMN selection procedure is used for finding
a suitable PLMN.
There are two modes of PLMN selection:
l Automatic selection
The UE automatically selects a PLMN according to the priority order.
l Manual selection
The UE shows all available PLMNs to the subscriber. The subscriber then selects a PLMN.
Automatic PLMN Selection

In automatic PLMN selection mode, the UE can select a PLMN from the Home PLMNs
(HPLMNs) and roam in the Visited PLMN (VPLMN).

RAN
NOTE
l The MCC and MNC in the PLMN identity of the HPLMN match the MCC and MNC in the IMSI of
the UE.
l The PLMNs, except the HPLMNs, which the UE camps on, are defined as VPLMNs.
Selecting from the HPLMN

To select a PLMN from the HPLMNs, the UE does as follows:
The UE maintains a list of allowed and available PLMNs in priority order. When selecting a
PLMN, the UE searches for the PLMNs from the highest priority to the lowest.
Roaming in the VPLMN
If a UE stays in a VPLMN, it regularly searches for the HPLMN and higher-priority PLMNs
for better services.
For this purpose, a value of T minutes may be stored in the SIM. Either T is in the range 6 minutes
to 8 hours in 6-minute steps or T indicates that no periodic attempts shall be made. If no value
is stored in the SIM, a default value of 60 minutes is used.
When the UE attempts to access the HPLMN or the PLMN with higher priority, the UE must
adhere to the following rules:
l After the UE is switched on, a period of at least two minutes and at most T minutes shall
elapse before the first attempt is made.
l Periodic attempts shall be performed only by the UE in idle mode.
l Only the priority levels of equivalent PLMNs of the same country (which serve as the
current serving VPLMN) can be compared with the priority level of a selected PLMN.
Manual PLMN Selection

To manually select a PLMN, the UE does as follows:
The UE maintains a list of allowed and available PLMNs in priority order. When selecting a
PLMN, the UE indicates the list to the subscriber who will select a PLMN, and then camps on
the selected PLMN.
NOTE
For more details of the PLMN selection, refer to 3GPP TS 25.304 and 3GPP TS 23.122.
3.1.2 Cell Selection

When the PLMN is selected and the UE is in idle mode, the UE starts to select a cell that belongs
to the selected PLMN to camp on and to obtain normal services.
Cell Selection Procedure

Figure 3-1 shows the cell selection procedure for the UE in idle mode.

RAN
Figure 3-1 Cell selection procedure for the UE in idle mode
NOTE
To select a new PLMN, go back to position 1 of the procedure.
Table 3-1 describes the states involved in the cell selection.

RAN
Table 3-1 UE states involved in the cell selection
S State Description
N
1 Camped normally The UE obtains normal services.
2 Connected mode After RRC connection setup, the UE changes from the idle
mode to the connected mode (CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH,
CELL_PCH, or URA_PCH state)
3 Any cell selection The UE attempts to find an acceptable cell of any PLMN to
camp on.
4 Camped on any cell The UE obtains limited services and selects a cell through cell
selection or reselection. In this case, the PLMN identity is not
considered.
Figure 3-1 also shows the following items:
l Initial cell selection
If no cell information is stored for the PLMN, the UE starts the initial cell selection. For
this procedure, the UE need not know in advance which Radio Frequency (RF) channels
are UTRA bearers. The UE scans all RF channels in the UTRA band according to its
capabilities to find a suitable cell of the selected PLMN. On each carrier, the UE need only
search for the strongest cell. Once a suitable cell is found, this cell shall be selected.
l Stored information cell selection
For this procedure, the UE need know the central frequency information and other optional
cell parameters that are obtained from the measurement control information received
before, such as scrambling codes.
After this procedure is started, the UE selects a suitable cell if any. Otherwise, the initial
cell selection procedure is triggered.
l Suitable cell
A suitable cell is the cell that the UE may camp on to obtain normal services.
l Cell selection of the UE leaving connected mode
When returning to the idle mode from the connected mode, the UE shall select a suitable
cell to camp on. Candidate cells for this selection are the cells used immediately before the
UE leaves the connected mode.
When returning to the idle mode after an emergency call on any PLMN, the UE shall select
an acceptable cell to camp on. Candidate cells for this selection are the cells used
immediately before the UE leaves the connected mode. If no acceptable cell is found, the
UE shall continue to search for an acceptable cell of any PLMN in the state "Any cell
selection".
l Acceptable cell
An acceptable cell is the cell that the UE may camp on to obtain limited services. For
example, the UE may originate emergency calls.

RAN
Cell Selection Criteria

The cell selection criterion S is fulfilled when:
Srxlev > 0 and Squal > 0
where
l Squal = Qqualmeas – Qqualmin

l Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas - Qrxlevmin - Pcompensation

where
l UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH: refers to Max allowed UE UL TX
power.
l P_MAX: maximum RF output power of the UE (dBm)
3.1.3 Cell Reselection

The signal strength of both serving cell and neighboring cells varies with the movement of a UE
and so the UE needs to select the most suitable cell to camp on. This process is called cell
reselection. The cell reselection involves three parts: cell reselection process, measurement start
criteria, and cell reselection criteria.
Cell Reselection Process

NOTE
Figure 3-1 shows the cell reselection of the UEs in idle mode.
The cell reselection process is as follows:

RAN
1. The UE calculates the cell SX according to the following formulas:

l Squal = Qqualmeas - Qqualmin
l Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas - Qrxlevmin - Pcompensation
NOTE
For detailed description of the formulas, refer to 3.1.2 Cell Selection.
2. The UE decides whether to start the intra-frequency or inter-frequency measurement
according to the measurement start criteria.
l To start the intra-frequency, inter-frequency, or inter-RAT measurement, go to 3.
l Otherwise, end the cell reselection.
3. The cells are queued according to the measurement results.
4. The UE selects a suitable cell to camp on according to the cell reselection criteria.
Measurement Start Criteria

The Hierarchical Cell Structure (HCS) may affect the measurement start criteria for cell
reselection.
HCS Disabled
Figure 3-2 shows the intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and inter-RAT measurement criteria in
the case when the system messages broadcast by the serving cell indicate that the HCS is
disabled.
Figure 3-2 Measurement start criteria for cell reselection with HCS disabled
l Intra-frequency measurement
– If Squal > Sintrasearch, the UE need not start the intra-frequency measurement.
– If Squal ≤ Sintrasearch, the UE need start the intra-frequency measurement.
– If system messages do not contain Sintrasearch, the UE always need start the intra-
frequency measurement.

RAN
Sintrasearch is set through Intra-freq cell reselection threshold for idle mode on the RNC
side.
l Inter-frequency measurement
– If Squal > Sintersearch, the UE need not start the inter-frequency measurement.
– If Squal ≤ Sintersearch, the UE need start the inter-frequency measurement.
– If system messages do not contain Sintersearch, the UE always need start the inter-
frequency measurement.
Sintersearch is set through Inter-freq cell reselection threshold for idle mode on the RNC
side.
l Inter-RAT measurement
– If Squal > SsearchRATm, the UE need not start the inter-RAT measurement.
– If Squal ≤ SsearchRATm, the UE need start the inter-RAT measurement.
– If system messages do not contain SsearchRATm, the UE always need start the inter-RAT
measurement.
SsearchRATm is set through Inter-RAT cell reselection threshold on the RNC side.
HCS Enabled
When the HCS is enabled, the measurement criteria for the UE in movement are listed in Table
3-2, Table 3-3, Table 3-4, and Table 3-5.
l Intra-frequency and inter-frequency measurement criteria for the UE in slow movement
Table 3-2 Intra-frequency and inter-frequency measurement criteria for the UE in slow
movement
Condition Result
Srxlev ≤ SsearchHCS or Squal ≤ All intra-frequency and inter-frequency cells are

Sintersearch measured.
Squal ≤ Sintrasearch Intra-frequency and inter-frequency cells are

measured with their HCS level no lower than that of
the current cell.
Squal > Sintrasearch Intra-frequency and inter-frequency cells are

measured with their HCS level higher than that of the
current cell.
Sintrasearch not delivered All intra-frequency cells are measured.

Inter-frequency cells are measured with their HCS
level higher than that of the current cell.
SsearchHCS or Sintersearch not All intra-frequency and inter-frequency cells are

delivered measured.
SsearchHCS is set through HCS cell reselection threshold on the RNC side.

RAN
The HCS of intra-frequency neighboring cells of a cell is usually consistent with that of
the cell. If the Squal of the current cell is good enough, that is, Squal > Sintrasearch, the UE
only needs to compare the Squal in these cells with different HCSs.

Cell Reselection Criteria

H criteria and R criteria are used for cell reselection.
The quality level threshold criterion H for the HCS is used to determine whether the prioritized
ranking based on the hierarchical cell reselection rules shall apply. The criterion is defined by:
If the system information indicates that the HCS is not used, the quality level threshold criterion
H does not apply.
The cell-ranking criterion R is defined by:
where
TEMP_OFFSETn is used as an offset to the R criteria for the duration of PENALTY_TIMEn

after a timer Tn is started for that neighboring cell.
TEMP_OFFSETn and PENALTY_TIMEn are only applicable when the system information
indicates that the HCS is enabled.
The mapping between the parameters in the previous formulas and the parameters in the LMT
are described in Table 3-6.

Figure 3-3 shows the cell reselection procedure, which describes the measurement start and
criteria relations. The actual procedure varies with UE implementation.

RAN
Figure 3-3 Cell reselection procedure
Firstly, the UE shall select certain cells that fulfill the S criterion to rank in the following cases:
l When HCS is not used (UseOfHcs is set to NOT_USED), the UE shall rank all cells, not
considering HCS priority levels.
l When HCS is used (UseOfHcs is set to USED) and UE is in low mobility, the UE shall
rank all cells that have the highest HCSPrio among those cells that fulfill the criterion H
≥ 0.
l When HCS is used and UE is in high mobility and if there are cells with a lower HCS
priority than the serving cell that fulfil the criterion H >= 0, the UE shall rank all cells that
have the highest HCSPrio among those cells that fulfil the criterion H >=0 and have a
lower HCS priority than the serving cell.
l When HCS is used and UE is in high mobility and if there are cells that fulfil the criterion
H >= 0 with an HCS priority higher or equal to the HCS priority of the serving cell, the UE

RAN
shall rank all cells that have the lowest HCSPrio that fulfil the criterion H >= 0 and have
an HCS priority higher or equal to the HCS priority of the serving cell.
l When HCS is used and if no cell fulfills the criterion H ≥ 0, the UE shall rank all cells,
not considering HCS priority levels.
Secondly, the UE shall rank the cells according to the R criteria, deriving Qmeas,n and Qmeas,s
and calculating the R values, as described in the cases below.
The offset IdleQoffset1sn is used for Qoffsets,n to calculate Rn. The hysteresis IdleQhyst1s is
used for Qhysts to calculate Rs.
l If HCS is enabled, TempOffset1 is used for TEMP_OFFSETn to calculate TOn. Otherwise,

TEMP_OFFSETn is not used to calculate Rn. The best ranked cell is the cell with the
highest R value.
l If a TDD or GSM cell is ranked as the best cell, the UE shall reselect that TDD or GSM
cell.
l If an FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and the quality measure for cell selection and
reselection is set to CPICH RSCP(QualMeas = CPICH_RSCP), the UE shall reselect that
FDD cell.
l If an FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and the quality measure for cell selection and
reselection is set to CPICH Ec/N0(QualMeas = CPICH_ECNO), the UE shall perform a
second ranking of the FDD cells according to the R criteria specified above.
In this case, however, the UE uses the measurement quantity CPICH Ec/N0 for deriving
the Qmeas,n and Qmeas,s, and then calculating the R values of the FDD cells. The offset
IdleQoffset2sn is used for Qoffsets,n to calculate Rn, and the hysteresis IdleQhyst2s is
used for Qhysts to calculate Rs.
If the system information indicates that the HCS is enabled, TempOffset2 is used to
calculate TOn. Otherwise, TEMP_OFFSETn is not used to calculate Rn. Following the
second ranking, the UE shall reselect the best ranked FDD cell.
In all the previous cases, the UE can reselect a new cell only when the following conditions are
met:
l The new cell is better ranked than the serving cell during a time interval Treselections .
l More than one second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell.
NOTE
For details of the cell reselection criteria, refer to 3GPP TS 25.304.
3.1.4 Location Registration

Location registration is used for the PLMN to trace the current status of the UE. Location
registration ensures that the UE is connected to the network when the UE does not perform any
operation for a long period.
Classification of Location Registration

Location registration refers to the location update for non-GPRS and the route update for GPRS.
Location registration is of the following three types:
l Normal location registration

l Periodic location registration

RAN
l IMSI attach/detach
NOTE
For the procedure of location registration, refer to Location Update Procedure.
Normal Location Registration

The UE performs normal location registration in the following conditions:
l After the switch-on, the UE selects a suitable cell that belongs to a new LA or RA. That is,
the LA or RA is different from that recorded in the USIM before the switch-off of the UE.
l The UE in idle mode enters the cell of a new LA or RA.
Periodic Location Registration

Periodic location registration may be used to periodically notify the network of the availability
of the UE.
It is controlled by a Periodic Location Update timer (T3212, for non-GPRS operation) or a

Periodic Routing Area Update timer (T3312, for GPRS operation). The value of T3212 is sent
by the network to the UE in SIB 1. The value of T3312 is sent by the network to the UE in the
messages ATTACH ACCEPT and ROUTING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT. The value of T3312
shall be unique within an RA.
T3212 is set through Periodical location update timer on the RNC side. T3312 is set on the
CN side.
The timer T3212 is described as follows:
l When the UE is switched on or the system information indicates that periodic location
registration shall be applied, and the timer T3212 is not running. Then, the timer shall be
loaded with a random value between 0 and the value of T3212, and shall be started.
l When the timer T3212 reaches its expiry value, the UE shall initiate the periodic location
registration.
l The timer T3212 shall be prevented from triggering periodic location update in connected
mode. When the UE returns to the idle mode, T3212 shall be initiated with respect to the
broadcast timeout value and then be started.
l If the UE performs a successful combined routing area update, the timer T3212 shall be
prevented from triggering the periodic location update until the UE starts location update,
for example, because a network operation mode changes or the UE uses non-GPRS services
only.
IMSI Attach/Detach
The IMSI attach/detach process facilitates the fast location registration of the UE in specific
conditions.
When the IMSI attach/detach operation applies, the UE shall send the IMSI detach message to
the network when the UE is switched off or the SIM is removed while being in the UPDATED
state. This IMSI detach message will not be acknowledged by the network.
The system information will contain an indicator indicating whether the IMSI attach/detach
operation is mandatory in the cell. The UE shall operate in accordance with the received value
of the indicator. This indicator, however, shall not be considered in GRPS attach/detach.

RAN
If the UE still stays in the same LA or RA after being switched on again, the UE shall perform
an LR request indicating IMSI attach. Otherwise, the UE shall perform an LR request indicating
normal location update.
You can set IMSI attach/detach indicator by set Attach/detach indication.
3.1.5 Paging Reception

By receiving paging messages, the UE is notified of the service requests made by the CN and
the changes in system information.
Reception Process
When a UE stays in idle mode, the paging to the UE is performed within an LA or RA or the
whole RNC. The UE reads the paging information from the PICH and S-CCPCH. The PICH
indicates when the UE reads the paging information from the S-CCPCH, whereas the S-CCPCH
carries specific paging messages.
Reception Technology
To reduce power consumption, the UE can read the information from the PICH only at a
particular time. This is known as the Discontinuous Reception (DRX) technology. The interval
between two consecutive periods of time is called DRX cycle.
For Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), the DRX cycle length shall be 2k frames, where k is an
integer and is decided by the following three parameters:
l CN domain specific DRX cycle length for CS

l CN domain specific DRX cycle length for PS
l UTRAN DRX cycle length coefficient
The parameters are described as follows:
CN domain specific DRX cycle lengths
The UE may be attached to different CN domains with different CN domain specific DRX cycle
lengths. The UE shall store these lengths for all CN domains where the UE is attached and shall
use the shortest one.
The value is set through DRX cycle length coefficient on the RNC side.
UTRAN DRX cycle length
This parameter value is sent to the UE through the RRC CONNECTION SETUP message
without distinguishing specific CN domain types.
For a UE in idle mode, the DRX cycle length equals the shortest value of the stored DRX cycle
length for the CN domains where the UE is attached, with no signaling connection established.
For a UE in CELL_PCH state or URA_PCH state, the DRX cycle length equals the shortest
value of the following lengths:
l UTRAN DRX cycle length

l Any of the stored DRX cycle length for the CN domains where the UE is attached, with no
signaling connection established

RAN
NOTE
If you set a big DRX cycle length coefficient, the period for UE detect paging info will be long; therefore, the
UE can reduce the power consumption. However, the delay for responding to a paging will be long.
3.1.6 System Information Reception

Upon reception of system information, the UE obtains the network information and takes actions
accordingly.
Structure of System Information

The structure of system information is like a tree, which includes the following items:
l MIB
Master Information Block (MIB) provides reference and scheduling information for a
number of SIBs in a cell or one or two Scheduling Blocks (SBs) in a cell. The MIB contains
only the PLMN types supported and the corresponding PLMN identities.
l SB
Scheduling Block (SB) provides reference and scheduling information for other SIBs. The
scheduling information of an SIB may be included in the MIB or SB.
l SIB
System Information Block (SIB) contains actual system information. It consists of system
information elements (IEs) with the same purpose.
When selecting a new cell, the UE reads the MIB. The UE may locate the MIB through the
predefined scheduling information.
The UE may use the scheduling information in the MIB and SB to locate each SIB to be acquired.
If the UE receives an SIB in a position according to the scheduling information and considers
the content as valid, the UE will read and store the SIB.
Reception of System Information

The UE shall read system information broadcast on a BCH transport channel when the UE is in
idle mode or connected mode (CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, or URA_PCH state). Then, the UE
takes actions on the following occasions:
l When the UE is switched off

Except the SIBs stored in the USIM and used for the stored information cell selection, the
UE shall consider other stored SIBs as invalid.
l When the UE is switched on
The UE shall store SIBs with an area scope (cell, PLMN, or equivalent PLMN) and their
value tag. These SIBs are used when the UE returns to the cells.
l When the UE selects a new cell in a new PLMN
The UE shall consider all current SIBs with an area scope (cell or PLMN) as invalid, and
shall store and use a new SIB. If the identity of this PLMN is not equivalent to the identity
of the previously selected PLMN, the UE shall consider all SIBs with an area scope
(equivalent PLMN) as invalid.
l When the UE selects a new cell in the current PLMN

RAN
The UE shall consider all current SIBs with an area scope (cell) as invalid, and shall store
and use a new SIB.
