Fast Dormancy 2 Overview
2-1
2 Overview
When fast dormancy, enhanced fast dormancy, or standard fast dormancy is applied, the UE can request
the RNC to release the PS signaling connection if no more PS data is being transmitted. Upon receiving
such a request, the RNC can either release the signaling connection and put the UE into idle mode, or
maintain the signaling connection and put the UE through Cell_FACH to CELL/URA_PCH state to
reduce battery consumption.
The descriptions about fast dormancy, enhanced fast dormancy, and standard fast dormancy are as
follows:
 With fast dormancy, after receiving a Signaling Connection Release Indication (SCRI) message from a
UE, the RNC releases the UE RRC connection regardless of whether the message contains the cause
value "UE Requested PS Data session end."
 With enhanced fast dormancy, UEs send SCRI messages that do not contain the cause value "UE
Requested PS Data session end" to the RNC. After receiving such an SCRI message, the RNC moves
the UE through Cell_FACH to CELL/URA_PCH state.
 Standard fast dormancy is applicable to fast dormancy UEs that comply with 3GPP Release 8 (R8 for
short). With standard fast dormancy, UEs send SCRI messages that contain the cause value "UE
Requested PS Data session end" to the RNC. After receiving such an SCRI message, the RNC moves
the UE through Cell_FACH to CELL/URA_PCH state. Standard fast dormancy is valid only when the
RNC has enabled the timer T323 in system information block type 1 (SIB1).

UEs complying with 3GPP Release 8 support the fast dormancy function, as defined in 3GPP TS 25.331
CR3483. When a UE processing only PS services finishes PS data transmission, it sends the RNC an
SCRI message that may contain the cause value "UE Requested PS Data session end." Upon receiving
the message, the RNC releases the UE’s RRC connection and enables the UE to quickly enter
power-saving mode.
The following figure shows the procedure of fast dormancy.
Figure 3-1 Fast dormancy
The RNC sends the timer T323 in SIB1 or UTRAN Mobility Information to the UE to control fast
dormancy.
 If the value of T323 is INVALID, the timer is not sent to the UE. Accordingly, the UE does not send the
SCRI message containing the cause value "UE Requested PS Data session end."
 If the value of T323 is 0, the UE can recognize the timer. In such a case, when to send the SCRI
messages is determined by the UE behavior.
 If the value of T323 is a value other than 0, the UE sends the release request and initiates timer T323.
The UE sends the release request again after T323 expires.
 If the UE cannot recognize the timer T323, when to send the SCRI messages is not determined by the
timer. The SCRI messages will not contain the cause value "UE Requested PS Data session end."

4.1 Overview
As the number of intelligent UEs in mobile networks continues increasing, these networks face signaling
storms produced by these UEs. With many customers all over the world, Huawei has a wealth of
experience in network optimization. Huawei can provide a comprehensive end-to-end solution based on
network characteristics to respond to network challenges. Enhanced fast dormancy is one component of
the solution. This feature alone is not enough to eliminate the signaling storms caused by intelligent UEs.
However, applied effectively with professional services, enhanced fast dormancy can be used to
optimize the quality of service for the entire network.
Consult Huawei engineers about the comprehensive solution to obtain professional technical support. Huawei engineers
will recommend the appropriate parameter settings for this feature based on the network conditions. Do not configure the
parameters related to this feature without Huawei professional technical support. Inappropriate parameter settings may
lead to network failures.
Enhanced fast dormancy is applicable to networks serving a large number of intelligent UEs already
supporting fast dormancy. Enhanced fast dormancy can reduce the signaling processing efforts of the
RNC and prevent the signaling processing unit in the RNC from overflowing.
To save power, when there is no PS data to transmit, an intelligent UE sends the RNC an SCRI message
to request the RRC connection release or to indicate to the UTRAN that one of its signaling connections
has been released. In addition, the UE periodically sends heartbeat messages to the core network, for
example, to check for new mail on the mail server.
If fast dormancy (rather than enhanced fast dormancy) is applied, the RNC releases the RRC connection
as indicated in the 3GPP specifications. In such a case, the heartbeat messages lead to the procedures
for RRC connection setups, authentication, encryption, and RAB setups. This greatly increases the
signaling processing workload of the RNC and may cause the signaling processing unit in the RNC to
overflow.
Enhanced fast dormancy and standard fast dormancy are introduced to address this problem. With the
application of enhanced fast dormancy or standard fast dormancy, the RNC changes the UE state
through Cell_FACH to CELL/URA_PCH instead of idle mode upon receiving an SCRI message from the
UE. In such a case, when the UE periodically sends heartbeat messages, the signaling procedure
between the UE and RNC is simplified because the RRC connection is maintained. As the number of
signaling exchange messages decreases, significant CPU resources can be saved for the RNC, and the
UE consumes as little battery power as a UE in idle mode.
The following figure shows the difference between fast dormancy, enhanced fast dormancy, and
standard fast dormancy.

4.2 Identifying Fast Dormancy UEs
Two types of fast dormancy mechanisms are implemented in UEs. UEs that support fast dormancy are
referred to as fast dormancy UEs in this document.
 Standard fast dormancy (R8 fast dormancy): This mechanism is standardized by 3GPP Release 8. As
specified, the UE sends an SCRI message to the network with the cause value "Signaling Connection
Release Indication Cause" set to "UE Requested PS Data session end."
The RNC can identify this type of UE by the SCRI message with the cause value "UE Requested PS
Data session end."
 Pre-R8 fast dormancy: This mechanism, which is not standardized, is used for the early proprietary
implementations of fast dormancy prior to Release 8.
The RNC can identify this type of UE by its IMEI and its release version.
Upon receiving a Security Mode Command Complete message from the UE, the RNC identifies
enhanced fast dormancy UEs as follows:
 If the FD_TAC_MATCH_SWITCH of the parameter PROCESSSWITCH is turned on, the following
UEs are identified as fast dormancy UEs:
− UE (Pre-R8 fast dormancy) that complies with 3GPP Release 5 or later releases and whose IMEI is
on the white list. The IMEI range for the white list is specified by the binary group (TAC,
FastDormancy = ON) in the RNC MML command ADD UIMEITAC. If the FastDormancy switch is
on, the RNC considers the UEs specified by the IMEI (TAC) capable of enhanced fast dormancy.
− UE (R8 fast dormancy) from which the SCRI message whose cause value is "UE Requested PS
Data session end" is sent.
 If the FD_TAC_MATCH_SWITCH of the parameter PROCESSSWITCH is turned off, the following
UEs are identified as fast dormancy UEs.
− UEs complying with 3GPP Release 5 or later releases, excluding those on the black list. The IMEI
range for the black list is specified by the binary group (TAC, FastDormancy = OFF) in the RNC
MML command ADD UIMEITAC. If the FastDormancy switch is OFF, the RNC considers the UEs
specified by the IMEI (TAC) incapable of enhanced fast dormancy.

WCDMA RAN
The RNC can obtain the IMEI of the UE from the UE's response to the "IDENTITY REQUEST" message.
The IMEI range is specified by the parameter TAC in the RNC MML command ADD UIMEITAC.
4-3
The IMEI (consisting of 14 decimal digits and one check digit) contains the origin, model, and serial
number of the UE. The structure of the IMEI is specified in 3GPP TS 23.003.
TAC (8bit) SNR (6bit) Spare (1bit)
 The Type Allocation Code (TAC) indicates a particular type of device that has been approved by a
national GSM/WCDMA approval body.
 SNR is the serial number identifying the UE.
The RNC can determine whether a UE supports fast dormancy by the manufacturer and model
information contained in the TAC.
After the RNC receives a Security Mode Command Complete message from the UE, the RNC identifies
standard fast dormancy UEs as follows:
 The RNC has enabled the timer T323 in SIB1.
 The RNC has received an SCRI with the cause value "UE Requested PS Data session end."
4.3 State Transitions for Fast Dormancy UEs
If enhanced fast dormancy is disabled, the UE’s RRC connection is released after the RNC receives an
SCRI message. The enhanced fast dormancy switches are specified by the RNC-level subparameter
FAST_DORMANCY_SWITCH of the parameter PROCESSSWITCH and cell-level subparameter
FAST_DORMANCY_ADCTRL of the parameter NBMCacAlgoSwitch.
If enhanced fast dormancy is enabled, then
 If the UE is identified as R8 UE (the UE can report the SCRI with R8 extensional cause of “data
session end”),
− If the RNC received the SCRI with the cause of “data session end”, the RNC transfers the UE to
CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH.
 If the UE in not R8 UE and the UE is identified as fast dormancy UE,
− If the switch RsvdBit1_BIT12 in SET URRINNERTIMER is set to 1, the RNC release the UE after
receiving the SCRI.
− If the switch RsvdBit1_BIT12 in SET URRINNERTIMER is set to 0, the RNC transfer the UE to
CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH after receiving the SCRI.
Note
The MML command SET URRINNERTIMER and the parameter RsvdBit1_BIT12 are the inner command and the inner
parameter, respectively. The parameter RsvdBit1_BIT12 is set to 0 in default, if you want to change the default value,
please contact Huawei engineers.
− If the inactive timer for enhanced fast dormancy times out, the RNC transfers the UE to CELL_FACH
or CELL_PCH.
The following figure shows the state transitions for a fast dormancy UE.

Type Description

WCDMA RAN
4-5
D2P
D2F
F2P
D2P indicates a transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH. Similarly, F2P is from CELL_FACH to
CELL_PCH, and D2F is from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH.
The RNC starts the PS inactivity timer for fast dormancy after the fast dormancy UE changes
state.
 PsInactTmrForFstDrmDch specifies the PS inactivity timer for CELL_DCH.
 PsInactTmrForFstDrmFach specifies the PS inactivity timer for CELL_FACH.
 PsInactTmrForPreFstDrm specifies the PS inactivity timer for CELL_PCH.
If the UE is a fast dormancy UE and is not processing CS services, when the PS inactivity timer for
fast dormancy expires or the RNC receives the SCRI message or 4B event from the UE, the UE
changes states as follows:
 If the UE is in the CELL_DCH state,
− If the switch RSVDBIT1_BIT29 of RsvdPara1 in the SET URRCTRLSWITCH command is
turned off, then the RNC will trigger the D2F state transition, where the UE transitions from
CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH.
− If the switch RSVDBIT1_BIT29 of RsvdPara1 in the SET URRCTRLSWITCH command is
turned on, then the RNC will trigger the D2P state transition, where the UE transitions from
CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH.
The state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH and the state transition from CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH
are recommended, and the reasons are as follows:
 During IOT test, some terminal issues happen. Some terminals sometime are failed to establish services after
transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH directly. It will cause very bad impact on end user’s
experience.
 Compare with state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH via CELL_FACH, the state
transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH directly won’t improve the performance of network and
the experience of users.
 Some terminals send CELL UPDATE message to transfter data immediately after state transition from
CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH, which will increase the signaling messages leading to heavy load in
Uu interface.
 If the UE is in the CELL_FACH state,
− The RNC will trigger F2P state transition, where the UE transitions from CELL_FACH to
CELL_PCH.
D2I D2I indicates a transition from CELL_DCH to IDLE.
When the FACH is congested, D2F will not be triggered for inactive CELL_DCH users. Instead,
the RNC triggers a D2I transition in order to release the UE connection.
The default D2I function switch is turned off by default. Run the following command to switch it on:
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: ReservedSwitch0=RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT16-1;
P2I P2I indicates a transition from CELL_PCH to IDLE.
If the UE is in the CELL_PCH state, when the PS inactivity timer for fast dormancy (specified by
PsInactTmrForPreFstDrm) expires, the RNC releases the RRC connection and then the UE
enters idle mode.

WCDMA RAN
4-6
P2D P2D indicates a transition from CELL_PCH to CELL_DCH.
 If the switch RSVDBIT1_BIT20 of RsvdPara1 in the SET URRCTRLSWITCH command is
turned on:
When the UE tries to originate or terminate a CS service and the FACH is congested, the RNC
instructs the UE to perform P2D state transition instead of P2F and then F2D.
SET URRCTRLSWITCH: RsvdPara1=RSVDBIT1_BIT20-0;
Note: For the RSVDBIT1_BIT20 switch, 0 indicates on and 1 indicates off.
 If the switch FD_P2D_SWITCH of PROCESSSWITCH in the ADD UIMEITAC command is
turned on:
If the TAC of the UE is the same as that configured on the RNC and if the UE is in the
CELL_PCH and the UE is going to transmit uplink data or respond to the paging message, the
RNC instructs the UE to perform a P2D transition directly.
P2F P2F indicates a transition from CELL_PCH to CELL_FACH.
When the UE transmits heartbeat messages or traffic data, the RNC instructs the UE to enter the
CELL_FACH state.
F2D F2D indicates a transition from CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH.
When the fast dormancy UE is in the CELL_FACH state, the UE undergoes the following
transitions:
 If the UE reports event 4A to the RNC, the RNC instructs the UE to enter the CELL_DCH state
(F2D transition).
 If the UE reports event 4B to the RNC, the RNC instructs the UE to enter the CELL_PCH state
(F2P transition).
When the fast dormancy UE periodically sends small heartbeat messages, the normal state
transition mechanism changes the UE state from CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH. To prevent state
transitions from being triggered by a small number of heartbeat messages, a new threshold for
Event 4A is introduced: FastDormancyF2DHTvmThd.
To prevent too many UEs from remaining in the CELL_FACH state, fast dormancy ensures that
the state transition switch does not affect the 4A and 4B measurement or state transition from
CELL_FACH to another state for fast dormancy UEs.

of Timing re-initialized hard handover, while not
specified in RB SETUP process in the section
of 8.6.4.3. so it is not clear whether to add or
not in RB SETUP in DRD scenarios.
CR2284R1 clarify that HFN should add one in
RB SETUP process with Timing re-initialized
hard handover. when it is checked ,RNC
accepts this CR2284R1; when it is not
checked ,RNC does not accept this
CR2284R1.
11)CDT_MSG_FULL_TRACE.
When it is checked, CDT trace function which
starts tracing from message RRC CONNECT
REQUEST.
12)CR2284R1_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH.
CR2284R1 causes the compatible problem. if
UE is not consistent with RNC regarding
whether accept the CR2284R1 or not, it will
cause the problem of streaming when UEs are

WCDMA RAN
5-6
communicating with each other. So RNC
creates this switch. when it is checked, RNC is
auto-adaptive to accept the CR2284R1
according to UE version information. The
principles that RNC judges UE whether to
accept the CR2284R1 are as follows: R5 and
above UE accepts the CR; R99/R4 UE, if it
receives the START LIST value from RB
SETUP COMPLETE,RNC figures that UE
accepts the CR; R99/R4 UE, if it only receives
the START value from RB SETUP
COMPLETE,RNC figures that UE does not
accept the CR; when it is not checked, whether
RNC accept the CR or not is according to
CR2284R1_SWITCH. The relations between
these two switches CR2284R1_SWITCH and
CR2284R1_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH are as
follows:
(1)CR2284R1_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH is
checked, RNC is self-compatible, so the
CR2284R1_SWITCH is invalid;
(2)CR2284R1_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH is not
checked, the CR2284R1_SWITCH is valid.
13)COMBINE_OPERATION_DRD_SWITCH.
When it is on, RNC will not reject the message
RB SETUP CMP without the IE active time.
14)UL_INTER_PROTECT_SWITCH.
When the switch is off, RNC will not do integrity
protection check for uplink RRC messages.
15)FAST_DORMANCY_SWITCH.
When it is checked, RNC will apply FAST
DORMANCY function.
16)SYS_HO_IN_CIPHER_SWITCH.
When it is checked, don't receive the encrypted
ability information from RELOC REQ ,default
configured of encrypted parameter are UIA1
and UEA0.
17)PTT_EARLY_TRANS_SWITCH_OFF.
When it is checked, PTT user will not apply the
early transmission function, otherwise, PTT
user will apply the early transmission function.
18)UPLINK_MDC_ENHENCEMENT_SWITCH
.
This switch has become invalid.
19)NODEB_PRIVATE_INTERFACE_SWITCH.
When it is checked, the NodeB private
interface data can be taken to the NodeB
through the IUB protocol message.

WCDMA RAN

20)PTT_SPEC_LI_SWITCH_OFF.
When it is checked, special LI will not be used
for PTT user, otherwise, special LI will be used
for PTT user.
21)RNC_DF_2_URA_PCH_SWITCH.
When it is checked, RNC will support
transferring Fast Dormancy UE from
CELL_DCH or CELL_FACH to URA_PCH.
When it is not checked, RNC will not support
transferring Fast Dormancy UE from
CELL_DCH or CELL_FACH to URA_PCH.
22)FD_TAC_MATCH_SWITCH.
When it is checked, RNC will apply FAST
DORMANCY function for UE whose TAC is
configured in database. When it is not checked,
RNC will apply FAST DORMANCY function for
UE whose version is R5 or later.

1) RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT2: When the
switch is set to ON, only uplink RLC or
downlink RLC can be re-established during the
state transition from CELL_FACH to
CELL_DCH (F2D for short).
switch is set to ON, signaling radio bearers
(SRBs) cannot be changed from DCHs to
HSPA channels (including the channel change
from DCH to E-DCH in the uplink and from
DCH to HS-DSCH in the downlink) during
directed retry.
switch is turned on, the RNC does not consider
whether the cell is congested during AMR
service establishment. That is, parameters are

WCDMA RAN
5-9
set on the precondition that the cell is not
congested. This prevents inconsistency in
uplink and downlink AMR modes.
switch is set to ON, the RNC establishes the
BE service of a UE on R99 channels instead of
on HSUPA channels if the uplink coverage of
the UE is limited. The RNC determines whether
the uplink coverage of a UE is limited on the
basis of the Ec/N0 reported by the UE during
RRC connection establishment.
switch is set to ON, the directed retry algorithm
based on downlink load balance is enabled.
When the switch is set to OFF, this algorithm is
disabled. This algorithm is an optimization of
the original downlink load balance algorithm.
switch is set to ON, BE services that are
already established on E-DCHs can be
re-established on DCHs due to insufficient
coverage.
switch is turned on, D2F state transition is
allowed regardless of whether the CCCH exists
on the Iur interface. If D2F state transition fails,
DSCR is triggered. When the switch is turned
off, the RNC needs to determine whether the
CCCH exists on the Iur interface before
determining whether to trigger D2F state
transition.
switch is set to ON, the uplink 0 kbit/s transport
format of subflow A of an AMR service (WB
AMR service or NB AMR service) is 0*TbSize.
When the switch is set to OFF, the uplink 0
kbit/s transport format of subflow A of an AMR
service is 1*0.
switch is turned on, multiple cross-Iur radio
links (RLs) belonging to the same DRNC can
be added simultaneously. If an RL fails to be
added with the failure cause of
RadioNetwork:unspecified (14), the RNC
attempts to reestablish the RL for only once.
switch is turned on, the PS service must be
carried by DCHs in the uplink if both CS and
