2 URA/CELL Update Introduction

Basically, URA/cell update is used by the UE to report the location information and statusthe UE. The reporting method is classified into two types: periodical URA/cell update and cell-reselection-triggered update. URA update occurs when UE is in URA_PCH state, and cupdate occurs when UE is in CELL_PCH state or CELL_FACH state.

Issue 01 (2008-05-30)

3.1 Basic Types of URA/Cell Update This describes the basic types of URA/cell update, including the periodical URA/cell update and the URA/cell update due to cell reselection. Besides, cell update also has several other types.

3.1.1 Periodical URA/Cell Update Once the UE enters the CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state, it starts the timer T305. If the timer T305 expires, the UE performs URA/cell update with the cause "periodical URA/Cell update". URA update occurs when the UE is in URA_PCH state. Cell update occurs when the UE is in CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH state. The value of T305 is set through the parameter Timer 305 on the RNC side. The UE obtains the value of T305 from SIB1.

Accordingly, the RNC starts an internal timer for the UE in CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state. The value of this timer is greater than that of T305. When the RNC receives a URA/CELL UPDATE message with the cause "periodical URA/cell update", it restarts the internal timer. If the RNC does not receive a URA/CELL UPDATE message before expiry of the internal timer, the RNC judges that the UE is out of service, and then initiates the RRC connection release procedure.

3.1.2 URA/Cell Update due to Cell Reselection If a UE in CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH state reselects a new cell, the UE performs cell update with the cause "cell reselection". If a UE in URA_PCH state reselects a new cell with a different URA, the UE performs URA update with the cause "change of URA". Upon reception of a URA/CELL UPDATE message with the cause "Change of URA/Cell reselection", the RNC updates the URA/cell where the UE camps.

The URA ID can be assigned to a cell through the parameter URA ID. The URA ID should be created through the MML command ADD URA before being assigned to a cell.

The main parameters involved in the cell reselection algorithm when the UE is in CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, or URA_PCH state are listed as follows:

Hysteresis 1 for connect mode Hysteresis 2 for connect mode Cell Sel-reselection quality measure Min quality level

If you want to set cell reselection parameters for each UE state (URA_PCH,CELL_PCH,CELL_FACH) respectively, you can use MML command ADD CELLSELRESEL to set them.

Hysteresis 1 for UE in CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state Hysteresis 1for UE in CELL_FACH state Hysteresis 2 for UE in CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state Hysteresis 2 for UE in CELL_FACH state Reselection delay time for UE in PCH state Reselection delay time for UE in CELL_FACH state

For details about the cell reselection procedure, refer to Cell Reselection.

In some occasions, the UE in Cell_PCH state performs cell reselection frequently and initializes the cell update procedure frequently. When the RNC detects this status of the UE, it enables the UE to transfer to the URA_PCH state through the message "CELL UPDATE CONFIRM". If the number of cell update procedures initialized by the UE within an evaluation period exceeds the threshold, the RNC judges that the UE is in frequent cell reselection state. The evaluation period and the threshold can set through the following parameters:

Cell reselection timer Cell reselection counter

3.1.3 Cell Update due to Paging Response If the UE in URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state receives a PAGING TYPE 1 message, it performs cell update with the cause "paging response". Upon reception of a CELL UPDATE message with this cause, the RNC sends a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message to the UE and switches the UE to the CELL_FACH state.

3.1.4 Cell Update due to Uplink Data Transmission If the UE in URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state has uplink data to be transmitted, it performs cell update with the cause "uplink data transmission". Upon reception of a CELL UPDATE message with the this cause, the RNC sends a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message to the UE and switches the UE to the CELL_FACH state.

3.1.5 Cell Update due to Radio Link Failure If the UE in CELL_DCH state detects that the criteria for radio link downlink failure is met, the UE performs cell update with the cause "radio link failure". Upon reception of a CELL UPDATE message with this cause, the RNC deletes the current radio link, re-establishes a new radio link, and sends a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message to the UE with the parameters of the new radio link. Then, the UE re-establishes the RRC connection on the new radio link.

The criteria for radio link failure involves some timers and constants. A timer (T313) is started after the UE detects a certain number (N313) of consecutive "out of sync" indications from L1. If there is no enough number (N315) of consecutive "in sync" indications received from L1 before the timer (T313) expires, the UE considers radio link failure. Related parameters are as follows:

Timer 313 Constant 313 Constant 315

3.1.6 Cell Update due to Re-entering Service Area When the UE is in CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, or URA_PCH state is out of service area and re-enters the service area before T307 or T317 expires, the UE performs cell update with the cause "re-entering service area". Upon reception of a CELL UPDATE message with this cause, the RNC updates the cell where the UE camps.

T305 is started as soon as the UE enters the CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, or URA_PCH state. T307 is started when T305 expires and the UE detects "out of service area". For details, refer to Timer 307.

T316 is started after the UE detects "out of service area" in URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state. T317 is started when T316 expires or the UE detects "out of service area" in CELL_FACH state. T317 never expires and so this parameter need not be set. For details about T316, refer to Timer 316.

3.1.7 Cell Update due to RLC Unrecoverable Error If the UE detects an RLC unrecoverable error in an AM RLC entity, the UE performs cell update with the cause "RLC unrecoverable error".

If the CELL UPDATE message indicates that this error occurred on RB2, RB3, or RB4 in the UE, the RNC releases the RRC connection of the UE.

If the CELL UPDATE message indicates that this error occurred on RBn (n>4) in the UE, the RNC re-establishes an RLC entity for the corresponding RBn.

3.1.8 Cell Update due to MBMS ptp RB Request If the UE is in Cell_FACH, Cell_PCH or URA_PCH state and the UE shall perform cell update for MBMS ptp radio bearer request, the UE performs cell update with the cause "MBMS ptp RB request".

3.1.9 Cell Update due to MBMS Reception If the UE is in Cell_FACH, Cell_PCH, or URA_PCH state and shall perform cell update for MBMS counting, the UE performs cell update with the cause "MBMS reception".

3.2 Signaling procedure of URA/Cell Update The signaling procedure of URA update and cell update is similar. The signaling procedure for cell update also includes cell update due to radio link failure.

3.2.1 Signaling Procedure of URA Update This describes the basic signaling procedure of URA update and the signaling procedure of URA update with SRNS relocation.

Basic Signaling Procedure of URA Update Figure 3-1 shows the basic signaling procedure of URA update.

Figure 3-2 Signaling procedure of URA update with SRNS relocation

The UE in URA_PCH state establishes an RAB on RNC 1. In this procedure, RNC 1 is the Serving RNC (SRNC) and RNC 2 is the Drift RNC (DRNC).

The signaling procedure is as follows:

Step 1 The UE in URA_PCH state sends RNC 2 a URA UPDATE message after URA reselection.

Step 2 RNC 2 allocates a C-RNTI (used to identify the UE in CRNC) and a D-RNTI (used to identify the UE in DRNC) for the UE after receiving the URA UPDATE message from CCCH. Then, RNC 2 sends RNC 1 an UPLINK SIGNALLING TRANSFER INDICATION message, which includes target RNC-ID, allocated C-RNTI, and D-RNTI.

Step 3 RNC 1 sends the CN a RELOCATION REQUIRED message, requesting SRNS relocation.

Step 4 The CN sends a RELOCATION REQUEST message to RNC 2.

Step 5 RNC 2 prepares L2 resources for RNC 1 relocation and then sends a RELOCATION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE message to the CN.

Step 6 The CN sends RNC 1 a RELOCATION COMMAND message, notifying RNC 1 that SRNS relocation starts.

Step 7 RNC 1 completes related preparations such as stopping signaling and traffic RLCs. Then, RNC 1 sends a RELOCATION COMMIT message to RNC 2.

Step 8 RNC 2 sends the CN a RELOCATION DETECT message, notifying the CN that the relocation starts. Then, RNC 2 performs related operations such as L2 configuration.

Step 9 RNC 2 sends the UE a URA UPDATE CONFIRM message in the new cell. The message includes the old S-RNTI and SRNC ID as well as the new S-RNTI, SRNC-ID, and C-RNTI.

Step 10 The UE sends an RRC message UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM to RNC 2.

Step 11 RNC 2 sends a RELOCATION COMPLETE message to the CN.

Step 12 RNC 2 sends the UE a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message, querying the capability information about the UE.

Step 13 The UE sends RNC 2 a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message, including the capability information about the UE.

Step 14 RNC 2 receives the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message and sends a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message to the UE.

Step 15 RNC 2 sends the UE a UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION message, notifying the UE of the new UTRAN information.

Step 16 The UE sends a UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message to RNC 2.

Step 17 The CN sends RNC 1 an IU RELEASE COMMAND message, requesting RNC 1 to release the Iu interface resource related to this UE.

Step 18 RNC 1 sends an IU RELEASE COMPLETE message to the CN.

Step 2 The RNC performs the corresponding processing, and then sends the UE a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message.

Step 3 According to related IEs in the received message, the UE may respond with messages or not. If the UE responds, the messages can be one of the following messages:

UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE RADIO BEARER RELEASE COMPLETE

----End

If the UE changes from CELL_PCH state to URA_PCH state through cell update, the procedure is as follows:

Step 1 The UE is in CELL_PCH state and sends a CELL UPDATE message with the cause "periodical cell update".

Step 2 If the RNC decides to switch the state of this UE from CELL_PCH to URA_PCH, the RNC sends the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message to the UE and sets the "RRC State Indicator" IE as URA_PCH. The UE enters the URA_PCH state upon reception of the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message.

Figure 3-5 Signaling procedure for cell update due to radio link failure

When receiving a cell update message, the RNC establishes a new RL that is indicated in the cell update message and deletes the old RL.

If the first attempt to re-establish the RL fails, the RRC connection will be released.

This procedure is supported for both CS and PS RAB.

For PS RAB, this procedure is supported for both DCH and HSDPA bearer.

More detailed description of this procedure is as follows:

Step 1 The UE initiates the re-establishment of the RRC connection with the new cell by sending a CELL UPDATE message on the CCCH.

Step 2 The RNC allocates radio resources in the new cell and sends an NBAP message RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST to the new NodeB.

Step 3 The NodeB allocates resources and responds with an NBAP message RADIO LINK SETUP RESPONSE.

Step 4 The RNC initiates the setup of Iub data transport bearer by using the ALCAP protocol.

Step 5 The RNC initiates the release of Iub data transport bearer by using the ALCAP protocol and also the release of Iub radio resource by performing the NBAP RADIO LINK DELECTION procedure.

Step 6 The RNC prepares a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message and sends it to the UE on the CCCH.

Step 7 The UE re-establishes radio connection in the new cell and sends the PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message to the RNC.

Additionally, if both new cell and old cell belong to one NodeB, the procedure is similar, except that the RADIO LINK SETUP procedure described above is replaced by the RADIO LINK ADDITION procedure.
