    Introduction to the feature


    Fast dormancy is an 3GPP Rel.8 feature optional for UEs. The purpose of this feature is to
    reduce the signaling load between the 3G network and the UE and to save the UE’s battery
    life.The UE informs the network when a PS data transmission ends. The network changes the UE
    state directly to Cell_PCH or URA_PCH state, which lowers the UE battery consumption
    considerably, instead of staying in Cell_DCH or Cell_FACH state.

    If the UE needs to send or receive data the required signaling from Cell/URA_PCH state is only a
    fraction of the signaling needed in starting from IDLE mode.

    RAN2136 Benefits

    End user benefits


    UE works longer without battery recharge because of lower battery consumption.

    Operator benefits
    Some smart phones do not wait for network command to move to Cell/URA_PCH states, and
    instead move directly to IDLE. Such UEs that move to IDLE mode, for example, after keep-alive
    message regardless of network instructions, create an excessive amount of unnecessary
    signaling.

    Fast dormancy gives a possibility to guide the UEs to Cell_PCH (or URA_PCH) state instead

    when the data session ends. Cell_PCH state is a low battery consumption state, which saves
    significantly on the signaling load compared to going to IDLE mode.

    RAN2136 Functional description

    Functional overview
    Currently, when the RNC receives a SIGNALLING CONNECTION RELEASE INDICATION
    (SCRI) message from UE without IE "SCRI Cause" it must request the release of the signalling
    connection and move UE to IDLE mode. With other UEs, the RNC must use inactivity timers and
    make inactivity decisions according to those timers before moving UE to Cell/URA_PCH. If
    inactivity timers are long, UE batteries are suffering, because UEs are uselessly kept in
    Cell_DCH/FACH state.

    With Fast Dormancy feature the UE sends a SCRI message with “SCRI Cause” with the cause
    value UE Requested PS Data session end to the RNC. This cause indicates to the network that
    the UE has determined that it has concluded an active PS data transfer.

    The RNC receives the message and starts immediately the UE state change from Cell_DCH to
    Cell_PCH or URA_PCH state by sending a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message to
    the UE, instead of letting the UE to go to IDLE mode. Cell_PCH has a very low battery
    consumption, and sending/receiving data requires only a fraction of the signaling compared to
    starting from IDLE state.

    Figure: UE state change from Cell_DCH to Cell_PCH state while Fast Dormancy is active in the
    RNC

    Implementation in RAN
    This feature affects only the RNC functionality. It does not have any effect on the BTS.

    Activating and operating the feature


    This feature does not require activation. Fast Dormancy is active by default.

    RAN2136 System impact

    This chapter details the impact of feature on the system and other features.

    Interdependencies between features


    PCH states have to be supported in the RNC before the Fast Dormancy feature can be activated
    (MSActivitySupervision value has to be >0).

    Impact on interfaces
    This feature has impact on the amount of signaling transmitted through Iub and Uu interfaces. If
    the UE is kept in Cell_PCH state instead of IDLE mode, the amount of signaling needed to
    change UE state to Cell_DCH state is reduced significantly. This results in lower load on the RNC
    and less signaling over Iub and Uu interfaces.

    However, if the Cell_PCH state is not used in the network (RNC), UE is moved to IDLE mode
    when UE indicates data transfer ends.

    Impact on alarms
    There are no alarms related to this feature.

    Impact on key performance indicators


    There are no KPIs related to this feature.

    Impact on MML commands


    There are no MML commands related to this feature.

    Impact on network and network element management tools


    This feature has no impact on network management or network element management tools.

    Impact on system performance and capacity


    With this feature UE battery life should be extended. Also the load on the RNC and signaling over
    Iub/Uu interfaces can be reduced if the Cell_PCH state is used in the RNC and the UE does not
    move directly to IDLE mode.
