the mobile device can be located to a specific cell but it
cannot transfer data and must be paged by the network (DRX
Mode)
The URA is a new area that has been introduced into the UMTS
network to complement the LA and RA, which are still used. Unlike
the LA and RA, which are controlled from the core network, the URA
is controlled within UTRAN. Each cell in the UTRAN will belong to
at least one URA and the mobile device will be allocated a URA to
which it is attached
dedicated physical channel is allocated for the mobile device in
the uplink and downlink. The location of the device is known by its
SRNC to a cell level.
This is ideal for such services as SMS and multimedia messaging
service (MMS). The mobile device can monitor the BCH and may also
be asked to use the CPCH to transfer data in the uplink. The UE
must constantly monitor the FACH in the downlink.
