The document describes signaling flows for UTRAN radio access networks. It discusses the network architecture including interfaces between nodes. It then explains the different states a user equipment can be in - idle, connected on common or dedicated channels - and the signaling processes for location updates, paging, call setup, resource allocation, and handover between nodes and between UTRAN and other radio access technologies.

UE In Idle Mode - The Idle mode tasks may be divided in five different processes: - PLMN selection and reselection • - Cell selection and reselection - Location area (LA) and routing area (RA) registration - Paging procedure - Reading system information

When UE in connected mode
- The UE Position can be known on different levels : - Cell Level (CELL_DCH/CELL_PCH/CELL_FACH - UTRAN Registration Area URA Level (URA_PCH - The UE can use different type of channel in connected mode - Dedicated Transport Channel (CELL_DCH) - Common Transport Channel (CELL_FACH)

If there is huge data to be transmitted, it must allocate dedicated
channel. Thus UE will be in Cell-DCH. UE in Cell-DCH state is communicating via DCH (downlink and uplink) with UTRAN. If there is only few data to be transmitted, there is no need to allocate dedicated channel. Thus UE will be in Cell-FACH. UE in Cell-FACH state is communicating via FACH (downlink) and RACH (uplink) with UTRAN. UE need to monitor the FACH for its relative information because FACH is shared for all users in the cell.

If UE has no data to be transmitted or received, UE will be in Cell-PCH or URA PCH. In
these two states, UE needs to monitor PICH,to receive its paging. UTRAN knows which cell or URA UE is now in. The difference between Cell PCH and URA-PCH is that UTRAN update UE information only after UE which is in URA-PCH state has roamed to other URA. UTRAN have to update cell information of UE when UE roams to another cell. UE migrates to cell-FACH state to complete the cell update. If there is also no data to be transmitted or received, UE is back to CELL-PCH state after cell update. If the cell update times in a fixed time reach a preset value, UTRAN will let UE migrate to URA-PCH. URA is an area of several cells.

It is the same as the CELL-PCH state. UE should migrate to CELL-
