IDLE state at MME corresponds to ECM-IDLE but not sure about NOTCAMPED state. Can you please share the link where you found this "NOTCAMPED" word ?

Found this NOTCAMPED state in a 3gpp spec. and this state is related to UE not to MME.

In IDLE mode UE can read system info, Paging info from the eNB. In IDLE mode UE is rrc idle and ECM IDLE.

When UE is notcamped then UE is not reachable from networks. UE can not read Paging. UE can be in no coverage .

When UE is in the Connected State, How UE could use DRX configuration which is intended to use in IDLE state?

During my study about the measurement and ANR, I have the question. Please help to let me get the proper answer.
[ Condition]
1. UE is in the connected state.
2. UE measures one PCI and reports it to eNB but it does not belong to NRT(Neighbor Relation Table) in eNB.
3. eNB sends rrcConnectionReconfigurationMessage to read CGI for that PCI.
4. UE should read MIB/SIB1 to report CGI info to eNB.

In Step 4), In some materials on the web, UE should use IDLE periods to get SIB1, which is configured as DRX config in rrcConectionReconfigurationMesage. Because Measurement Gap is too short to read MIB/SIB1 and it's only for the measurement purpose.

As my basic understanding, DRX configuration is to improve the battery life in idle mode.
