CELL PCH
Q: What is Cell PCH State?
• CELL_PCH allows UE to remain in RRC Connected mode for
relatively long periods of time while minimizing the network and UE
resource reuirements!
• UE can "e paged in CELL_PCH# "ut the response must "e sent in
CELL_$%CH!
• &imilar to CELL_$%CH# the R'C keeps track of the individual cell
upon which the UE is camped

Features:
• Uplink data transfer is not possi"le
• Paging (ype ) messages with a *R+ cycle are used for paging purposes
• Paging UE in CELL_PCH is more efficient than aging UE in !!C "dle
mode
• (ransitions to CELL_$%CH use the Cell Update procedure for more than
one reason
• (he UE and network resource reuirement is less than CELL_$%CH
• ,nter-system and inter-freuency cell reselections possi"le
• Radio access network uses U#!$%" to identify UE

Q: What is U#!$%"• ,n normal RRC ,dle mode# a UE is recognized "y its ,0&,# (0&,# or P-(0&,
• However in Cell *CH# Cell $%CH# CELL PCH and UR% PCH# the ,0&,#
(0&, are replaced "y U-R'(,! (he U-R'(, provides a uniue identifier for
the RRC connection within the PL0'!
• (he RRC Connection &etup message allocates a U-R'(,! U-R'(, is a
concatenation of the &R'C identity with the &-R'(,!
• ,n terms of P%1,'1# if the UE is in CELL_PCH or UR%_PCH# the (0&, is
replaced "y the U-R'(,!
• UE in CELL_$%CH are assigned a Cell Radio 'etwork (emporary ,dentifier
2C-R'(,3 in addition• to a U-R'(,! C-R'(, are assigned "y the controlling R'C to address the
UE within a specific cell!

Q: How is a UE aged in Cell_PCH State?
• % UE in CELL_PCH can "e paged using a Paging (ype ) message!
Paging (ype ) messages are transferred on the PCCH logical
channel and are used to page UE in RRC ,dle mode# CELL_PCHand UR%_PCH!
• (his is in contrast to Paging (ype 4 messages which are used to
page UE in CELL_*CH and CELL_$%CH!
• Paging (ype 4 messages do not include any indication of UE
identity "ecause they are transferred using the *CCH logicalchannel!
• ,f the UE is in CELL_PCH or UR%_PCH# the (0&, is replaced "y
the U-R'(,!

Q: How long does a UE sta) in Cell PCH State?
• ,nactive UE are typically maintained in CELL_PCH for 56 minutes
"efore returning them to RRC ,dle mode via CELL_$%CH!
• ,f UE are maintained in CELL_PCH for only a short period of time
there is an increased pro"a"ility that the end-user initiates a
su"seuent connection from RRC ,dle mode!
• (his would then involve a more comple7 and time-consumingconnection esta"lishment procedure# i!e! connection esta"lishment
delay is increased!

Q: How is Paging Load *timi+ed when using Cell_PCH state?
• We ,now that in "dle -ode Paging. all cells of a articular L/C
are aged
• "n general. Paging %)e 0 messages for UE in CELL_PCH are
directed towards onl) a single cell &ecause the !$C has
,nowledge of which cell each UE is camed uon'
• (his means that the network paging load can "e decreased "y
allowing UE to remain in CELL_PCH rather than RRC ,dle mode!

Q: How is Paging Load *timi+ed when using Cell_PCH state?
• (his scenario is illustrated in $igure in ne7t slide
• 9n the Right# the serving R'C 2R'C43 receives the paging
message from the C& core and directs it towards the appropriatecell!
• However# the second R'C 2R'C)3 also receives the paging
message and does not have any knowledge of where the UE is
located! (his R'C directs the paging message to all cells "elonging
to the location area! Consider this R'C "ehavior with a UE in RRC,dle 0ode!
• (he UE in Cell PCH state served "y R'C4 receives direct aging
message from the cell it is connected to

Q: Will the !!C signaling &e used when UE is in Cell_PCH state?
• $rom the network perspective# UE in CELL_PCH reuire the ,u-ps signaling
connection to "e maintained and to "e allocated logical R'C resources in
terms of a U-R'(,!
• (here are no dedicated resources on the air-interface# at the 'ode : nor onthe ,u"! .e e7pect to see less RRC %ttempts# hence# reduced signaling
• ,f a UE in CELL_PCH moved out of coverage and returned to RRC ,dle
mode as a result of failing to complete a periodic cell update then the R'C
would page the UE on a location area "asis rather than on a cell "asis!
•
(he R'C would also address the UE using its (0&,# P-(0&, or ,0&, ratherthan its U-R'(, which the UE would have deleted after returning to ,dle
mode!
