Question: In E-UTRA conformance testing for User Equipment (UE), what is the required state of the UE during initial conditions for a basic single cell environment test setup?
Option 1: Connected, Active Mode (State 3-CE) with ongoing data transmission
Option 2: Registered, Idle Mode state (State 2-CE) with periodic paging
Option 3: Registered, Idle Mode state (State 2-CE)
Option 4: Deregistered, Power Saving Mode
Explanation: For conformance testing in a controlled environment, starting from a known, stable state is crucial. The 'Registered, Idle Mode state' ensures the UE is connected to the network but not actively engaged, providing a baseline for testing without external interference, allowing testers to introduce variables in a predictable manner.
