some User portion has been moved to PCH via FACH

EFD is the solution to signaling storm:

The RNC transits a UE to the CELL_PCH state instead of idle mode upon receiving an SCRI message from the UE or UE
inactivity timer expires.

In this case, when the UE periodically sends heartbeat messages, the signaling procedure between 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 about the same low amount of battery power as a UE in idle mode.

RNC-initiated state transition of UEs has no impact on user experience. UEs can save power when entering the
CELL_PCH state.

UE consumes about the same low amount of battery power as a UE in idle mode.
For

For

the pre fast dormancy UEs, the RNC checks for compatibility issues after receiving an SCRI message. If there
no compatibility issues, the RNC puts the UE into the CELL_PCH state.
the R8 fast dormancy UEs, the RNC puts the UE into the CELL_PCH state after receiving an SCRI message.
