Overview and objectives * One of the tasks that the UE has to perform when not being connected to the network is to select which cell and PLMN to camp on. It might seem as an easy task but remember that the UE might be surrounded by several different radio access technologies. Therefore the network still has to control the behavior of UEs that are not connected to the network. * There are in general five different idle mode tasks the UE needs to perform. PLMN reselection to decide which PLMN to camp on. This happens for example when the UE is powered on. When the PLMN is selected the UE has to continue with cell selection/reselection to find out which on of the cells in that PLMN to camp on. If the cell belongs to a new tracking area then the UE shall transmit a Tracking Area Update (TAU) to the MME. When camping on the cell the UE also has to monitor system information on the Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) to be able to receive the latest settings on the parameters. The UE also has to monitor paging on the Paging Control Channel (PCCH) in case of for example service requests. The operation of the UEs in idle mode will have a serious impact on network performance and capacity. For example, the configuration of the paging procedure and the tracking areas affect the battery consumption. * The Radio Connection Supervision (RCS) algorithm supervises the radio connection between the E-UTRAN and a UE in connected mode. The purpose of the supervision is to judge whether or not the E-UTRAN still has control over the UE. When the UE leaves the coverage of RBS 1 the network must decide when to disconnect the resources. Maybe the UE will continue into the next coverage, from RBS 2. In the example the network could be configured to hold onto the resources for the UE until it reaches the coverage of RBS 2. The Radio Connection Supervision is only performed in the E-UTRAN for the uplink. Supervision of the downlink is carried out by a similar supervision function located in the
