PLMN selection
Used to ensure that the PLMN selected by the UE provides services properly.
System information reception
The network broadcasts the network information to the UE that camps on the cell. Upon
reception of broadcast information, the UE obtains the network information and takes
actions accordingly.
Cell selection and reselection
Used to ensure that the UE finds a suitable cell to camp on.
Location registration
This procedure is used by the UE to report its status to the network. This procedure is of two types: periodical location registration and the location registration necessitated by
changes in the location area.
Paging procedure
Used for the network to send paging messages to a UE which is in idle mode, CELL_PCH
state, or URA_PCH state.
Access procedure
From the view of access stratum, access is the procedure the UE shift from idle mode to connected mode.

Step 1: Slot synchronization
During the first step of the cell search procedure, the UE uses the primary synchronisation
code (PSC) to acquire slot synchronisation to a cell.
Step 2: Frame synchronization and code-group identification
During the second step of the cell search procedure, the UE uses the secondary
synchronisation code (SSC) to find frame synchronisation and identify the code group of the cell found in the first step.
Step 3: Primary scrambling code identification
During the last step of the cell search procedure, the UE determines the exact primary
scrambling code used by the found cell. The primary scrambling code is typically identified
through symbol-by-symbol correlation over the CPICH with all codes within the code group identified in the second step.
If the UE has received information about which scrambling codes to search for, steps 2
and 3 above can be simplified.

Equivalent PLMNs : The Mobile Equipment stores a list of "equivalent PLMNs". This list is
replaced at the end of each location update procedure or routing area update procedure.
The stored list consists of a list of equivalent PLMNs as downloaded by the network plus the PLMN code of the registered PLMN that downloaded the list.

The UE can get system information from PCCPCH, and the PLMN information is
transmitted in MIB of PCCPCH.
After getting the MIB, the UE can judge whether the current PLMN is right one. If so, the
UE will get SIB scheduling information from the MIB; if not, the UE will search another carrier, do this procedure again.
The priority order of automatic PLMN selection mode:
Order PLMN types Remark
1 HPLMNs Home PLMNs
2 PLMNs contained in the “User Controlled PLMN Selector with Access Technology” data filed in the SIM excluding the previously selected PLMN
The PLMNs are arranged in priority order
3 PLMNs contained in the “Operator Controlled PLMN Selector with Access Technology” data filed in the SIM excluding the previously selected PLMN
The PLMNs are arranged in priority order
4 Other PLMN/Access technology combinations with the high quality of received signals excluding the previously selected PLMN
The PLMNs are arranged in priority order
5 Other PLMN/Access technology combinations excluding the previously selected PLMN
The PLMNs are arranged in the descending order of signal quality
6 Previously selected PLMN The PLMN selected by the UE before automatic PLMN selection

P-11
The MCC and MNC, which are in the PLMN identity of the HPLMN, match the MCC and
MNC in the IMSI of the UE.
Except the HPLMNs, the PLMNs that the UE camps on are defined as VPLMNs.
For the PLMN selection in the VPLMN, a value of T minutes may be stored in the SIM.
Either T is in the range 6 minutes to 8 hours with a step of 6 minutes 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:
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.
Periodic attempts shall be performed only by the UE in idle mode.
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.

System information is used for the network to broadcast network information to UEs
camping on a cell so as to control the behavior of UEs.
MIB
When selecting a new cell, the UE reads the MIB. The UE may locate the MIB by
predefined scheduling information. The IEs in the MIB includes MIB value tag, PLMN type, PLMN identity, reference and scheduling information for a number of
SIBs in a cell or one or two SBs in a cell.
SB
Scheduling Block (SB) gives reference and scheduling information to other SIBs.
SIB
System Information Block (SIB) contains actual system information. It consists of
system information elements (IEs) with the same purpose.
Scheduling information for an SIB may only be included in either the MIB or one of the SB.
UE may use the scheduling information in the MIB and SB to locate each SIB to be acquired. If UE received an SIB in a position according to the scheduling information and
considers the contents as valid, UE will read and store the SIB.

Camped normally: The cell that UE camps on is called the suitable cell. In this state, the UE
obtains normal services.
Any cell selection: In this state, the UE shall attempt to find an acceptable cell of any PLMN
to camp on, trying all RATs that are supported by the UE and searching first for a high quality cell.
Camped on any cell: The cell that UE camps on is called the acceptable cell. In this state
the UE obtains limited services. For example, UE may originate emergency call. The UE
shall regularly attempt to find a suitable cell of the selected PLMN, trying all RATs that are supported by the UE.
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).
Cell selection of the UE leaving the 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 on any PLMN in the state "Any cell selection".

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.
Stored information of cell selection: For this procedure, the UE has to 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.

If the pilot strength and quality of one cell meet S criteria, UE will stay in this cell and get
other system information. Then, UE will initiate a location update registration process.
If the cell doesn’t satisfy S criteria, UE will get adjacent cells information from SIB11. Then,
UE will judge weather these cells satisfy S criteria. If the adjacent cell is suitable, UE will stay in the adjacent cell.
If no cell satisfies S criteria, UE will take the area as dead zone and continue the PLMN
selection and reselection procedure.

The intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and inter-RAT measurement criteria are as shown in
the above figure.
The intra-frequency cell reselection has a priority higher than the inter-frequency cell
reselection and inter-RAT cell reselection, the intra-frequency cell reselection start threshold should be higher than the inter-frequency cell reselection start threshold and
inter-RAT cell reselection start threshold.
If the cell reselection threshold is set to a comparatively high value, the UE may frequently
start cell reselections, and the battery of the UE may be largely consumed. If the cell reselection threshold is set to a comparatively low value, it is difficult for cell reselections
to be started, and the UE may not timely reside in the cells with good quality, affecting the
quality of communication between the UTRAN and the UE. For detailed information, refer to 3GPP TS 25.304.

In Rs, s means serving cell. In Rn, n means neighbor cell.
The offset Qoffset1s,n is used for Qoffsets,n to calculate Rn. The hysteresis Qhyst1s is used
for Qhysts to calculate Rs.
The UE shall rank the cells according to the R criterion, derive Qmeas,n and Qmeas,s and
calculate the R values, as described in the following cases:
If a TDD or GSM cell is ranked as the best cell, the UE shall reselect that TDD or GSM cell.
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.
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 Qoffset2s,n is used for Qoffsets,n to calculate Rn, the
hysteresis Qhyst2s is used for Qhysts to calculate Rs.

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.
The UE performs normal location registration in the following conditions:
After being switched 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.
The UE in idle mode enters the cell of a new LA or RA.

For CN originated paging:
In order to request UTRAN connect to UE, CN initiates the paging procedure,
transmits paging message to the UTRAN through Iu interface, and UTRAN
transmits the paging message from CN to UE through the paging procedure on Uu interface, which will make the UE initiate a signaling connection setup process with
the CN.
For UTRAN originated paging:
UE state transition: In order to trigger UE in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state to
carry out state transition (for example, transition to the CELL_FACH state), the UTRAN will perform a paging process. Meanwhile, the UE will initiate a cell update
or URA update process, as a reply to the paging.
When the cell system message is updated: When system messages change, the
UTRAN will trigger paging process in order to inform UE in the idle, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state to carry out the system message update, so that the UE can read
the updated system message.

Paging type 1:
The message is transmitted in one LA or RA for idle state, or in one cell for
CELL_PCH state, or in one URA for URA_PCH state.
After calculating the paging time, the paging message will be transmitted at that
time.
If UE is in CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state, the UTRAN transmits the paging information in PAGING TYPE 1 message to UE. After received paging message, UE
performs a cell update or URA update procedure to transit state to CELL_FACH.
As shown in the above figure, the CN initiates paging in a location area (LA), which is
covered by two RNCs. After receiving a paging message, the RNC searches all the cells corresponding to the LAI, and then calculates the paging time, at which it will send the
PAGING TYPE 1 message to these cells through the PCCH.

Paging type 2:
If UE is in CELL_DCH or CELL_FACH state,the paging message will be transmitted on DCCH with paging type 2.
The message will be only transmitted in a cell.
As shown in the above figure, if the UE is in the CELL_DCH or CELL_FACH state, the
UTRAN will immediately transmit PAGING TYPE 2 message to the paged UE on DCCH channel.

Paging Reception Process : When UE stays in idle mode, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state, the
UE receives paging indicator from the PICH firstly, then reads the paging information on
the S-CCPCH.
The DRX paging period formula:
DRX Cycle Length = MAX(2k, PBP) frames
K is the “CN domain specific DRX cycle length coefficient”, which is broadcasted in SIB1. The typical value is 6.
PBP is Paging Block Periodicity , which is 1 for FDD mode.
The paging period should be 640ms if K is 6.

Paging SFN formula:
Paging Occasion (CELL SFN) = {(IMSI div K) mod (DRX cycle length div PBP)} *PBP +
n *DRX cycle length + Frame Offset
n =0, 1, 2……and the requirement is the calculated CELL SFN must be below its
maximum value 4095.
Frame Offset is 0 for FDD mode.
K is the number of SCCPCH which carries PCH, and the typical value is 1.
The formula cloud be simplified as: SFN = IMSI mod (DRX cycle length) + n * (DRX cycle length).
Paging Occasion(CELL SFN) Case :
One UE’s IMSI = 460010912121001, DRX cycle length = 64 frames, the value of
the paging occasion for the UE is shown as the red point in the above figure, in

The most important difference between idle mode and connected mode is whether UE has
RRC connection with UTRAN or not.
In idle mode, UE will be identified by IMSI, TMSI or PTMSI and so on.
In connected mode, UE will be identified by URNTI (UTRAN Radio Network Temporary
Identity), which is the ID of one RRC connection.

Random access procedure
1. Derive the available uplink access slots, in the next full access slot set, for the set
of available RACH sub-channels within the given ASC. Randomly select one access
slot among the ones previously determined. If there is no access slot available in the selected set, randomly select one uplink access slot corresponding to the set of
available RACH sub-channels within the given ASC from the next access slot set.
The random function shall be such that each of the allowed selections is chosen with equal probability.
2. Randomly select a signature from the set of available signatures within the given
ASC.
3. Set the Preamble Retransmission Counter to Preamble_ Retrans_ Max.
4. Set the preamble transmission power and Commanded Preamble Power to
Preamble_Initial_Power.
5. Transmit a preamble using the selected uplink access slot, signature, and preamble transmission power.
6. If no positive or negative acquisition indicator (AI +1 nor –1) corresponding to
the selected signature is detected in the downlink access slot corresponding to the
selected uplink access slot:
A: select the next available access slot in the set of available RACH sub-channels within the given ASC;
B: select a signature;
C: increase the preamble transmission power and Commanded Preamble
Power by Power Ramp Step, whereas the maximum value of preamble
transmission power is equal to MaxallowedUlTxPower.
D: Decrease the Preamble Retransmission Counter by one. If the Preamble Retransmission Counter > 0 and Commanded Preamble Power – maximum
allowed power < 6dB, then repeat from step 5. Otherwise exit the physical
random access procedure.
7. If a negative acquisition indicator corresponding to the selected signature is detected in the downlink access slot corresponding to the selected uplink access
slot, exit the physical random access procedure.
8. If a positive acquisition indicator corresponding to the selected signature is
detected, UE transmits the random access message three or four uplink access slots after the uplink access slot of the last transmitted preamble. After that, exit
the physical random access procedure.

When a UE needs network service, it first sets up RRC connection as follows:
The UE sends a RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message from the cell where it
camps to the RNC.
The RNC allocates related resources for the UE and sends an RRC CONNECTION
SETUP message to the UE.
The UE sends a RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message to the RNC. The RRC connection setup ends.
