    Fast Dormancy

    Fast Dormancy is a technology that saves battery life and reduces network congestion by allowing mobile devices to quickly switch to a dormant state after data transfer stops. When data transfer ends, the mobile network sends a message telling the device to close the connection. This puts the connection in an idle state where the physical connection is removed but the IP address is maintained. It allows faster re-establishment of connections compared to traditional dormancy methods. Release 8 Fast Dormancy improved on earlier versions by having the network configure an inactivity timer, after which the device can send a message to release the connection.

    Fast Dormancy (UMTS state switching on

    the air interface)


    Fast Dormancy is a relatively recent technology that is aimed at saving battery life on
    your phone as well as reducing congestion on mobile networks. Essentially when your
    phone stops submitting data, it waits for a message from the mobile network telling it to
    close the connection. On some phones you might notice this is when the H or H+ symbol
    becomes a or ! symbol. Essentially its a fast way of making the mobile data
    connection become dormant, thus saving battery. "any recent devices, including the
    #amsung !ala$y #%%% support Fast Dormancy and in general that is a good thing.&
    Traditional Fast Dormancy
    'his technology was introduced to ! ("'# to save the current consumption of the
    device by switching between different mobile device activities states on the air interface.
    )hen transferring data, the mobile is in cell*D+H state and uses the high speed channels
    to transmit and receive data.
    'he (E sends a #ignalling +onnection ,elease %ndication -#+,%. message to ,/+
    without %E 0#+,% +ause1. 2y doing this the (E re3uests a release of signalling
    connections and move to +ell*%dle state. 'hen network puts the connection in idle state
    in which the physical connection is removed while the %4 address is kept.
    )hile the handsets in idle state then there is a delay up to 5.6s to establish a channel to do
    data e$change. 2ut in cell*4+H the downlink does not have to be observed continuously,
    only the paging channel must be checked every now and then to make sure incoming
    connections can be established. #o this state is efficient as staying in idle state and the
    signalling connections stays in place. 7nd the delay to establish a channel to do data
    e$change is only 8.9s.
