2 Overview
Some intelligent UEs on a live network send a Signaling Connection Release Indication (SCRI) message to the RNC after PS data transmission is complete. By sending the SCRI message, intelligent UEs request for a transition to idle mode or the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state to reduce battery consumption. Upon receiving the SCRI, the RNC can release the signaling connection and put the UE into idle mode, or the RNC can maintain the signaling connection and put the UE to CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH/URA_PCH state. RNC_ EFD_D2F_SWITCH of the OptimizationSwitch parameter in the SET URRCTRLSWITCH command controls the UE through CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH or directly to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH. These procedures can reduce battery consumption, depending on the UE capability and feature activation on the RNC. By default, the RNC puts the UE into idle mode. A UE setting up PS services in idle mode consumes more signaling resources than that in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state. If there are a large number of UEs transited between idle mode and CELL_DCH state, signaling storms may occur. The EFD feature puts UEs into the CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH state to reduce signaling resource consumption and eliminate signaling storms. Huawei provides a comprehensive end-to-end solution based on network characteristics to respond to network challenges. EFD is one component of the solution. This feature alone is not enough to eliminate signaling storms caused by intelligent UEs. However, when applied with professional services, EFD can be used to optimize the quality of service (QoS) for the entire network.

Consult Huawei engineers to receive the appropriate parameter settings for this feature along with other comprehensive professional support. Do not configure the EFD parameters without Huawei professional technical support. Inappropriate parameter settings may lead to network failures. The UEs on a live network can be divided into three types:
l UEs that do not send SCRI messages because there is no PS data to be transmitted. l Pre fast dormancy UEs. This type of UE does not read the T323 information element (IE) carried in the system information block type 1 (SIB1) message. After PS data transmission

is complete, this type of UE sends an SCRI message to the RNC, but the SCRI message does not carry the IE Signaling Connection Release Indication Cause. Both T323 and Signaling Connection Release Indication Cause are introduced in 3GPP Release 8.
l R8 fast dormancy UEs. This type of UE reads the T323 IE carried in the SIB1 message and sends an SCRI message to the RNC after PS data transmission is complete. The SCRI

message carries the IE Signaling Connection Release Indication Cause that is set to "UE Requested PS Data session end." The T323 IE carried in the SIB1 message controls the frequency at which the R8 fast dormancy UEs send SCRI messages with the IE Signaling Connection Release Indication Cause set to "UE Requested PS Data session end". The T323 timer starts after an SCRI message is sent by the R8 fast dormancy UEs, and the second SCRI message with the IE Signaling Connection Release Indication Cause set to "UE Requested PS Data session end" can be sent only after the T323 timer expires. The EFD feature applies only to the pre fast dormancy UEs and R8 fast dormancy UEs. Users can configure EFD to be enabled for only the pre fast dormancy UEs or R8 fast dormancy UEs. When this feature is disabled, the RNC releases the signaling connection and puts the UE into idle mode after receiving the SCRI message regardless the UE types. When this feature is enabled, the RNC performs different processing based on the UE type:
l For the pre fast dormancy UEs, the RNC checks for compatibility issues after receiving an SCRI message. If there are no compatibility issues, the RNC puts the UE into the CELL_

FACH or PCH state. If there is a compatibility issue, the RNC puts the UE into idle mode.
l For the R8 fast dormancy UEs, the RNC puts the UE into the CELL_FACH or PCH state after receiving an SCRI message.

Some pre fast dormancy UEs may have compatibility issues after moving to the CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, or URA_PCH state. As a result, new services cannot be initiated. This feature has been tested by using iPhones and no compatibility issue occurred.

3 Technical Description
When there is no PS data to be transmitted, the intelligent UE sends the RNC an SCRI message to request the UTRAN to release the signaling connection. This procedure saves power. In addition, the UE periodically sends heartbeat messages to the core network, for example, to check for new mails on the mail server. If the EFD feature is disabled, the RNC releases the signaling connection and puts the UE into the idle state. In this case, sending heartbeat messages leads to the procedures for RRC connection setups, authentication, encryption, and RAB setups. These procedures increase the RNC signaling processing load. EFD addresses this problem. With EFD, the RNC transits a UE to the CELL_FACH or PCH state instead of idle mode upon receiving an SCRI message from the UE. In this 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 about the same low amount of battery power as a UE in idle mode. This feature is controlled by FAST_DORMANCY_SWITCH of the PROCESSSWITCH parameter in the SET URRCTRLSWITCH command. Figure 3-1 shows the signaling processing procedures for pre fast dormancy UEs and R8 fast dormancy UEs before and after EFD is enabled.

4 Identifying Fast Dormancy UEs


The RNC identifies the pre fast dormancy UEs and R8 fast dormancy UEs using the following mechanisms:
l R8 fast dormancy: The T323 parameter that can be set in the SET UCONNMODETIMER command is sent to the UE by the SIB1 message. The R8 fast dormancy UEs send an

SCRI message with the IE Signaling Connection Release Indication Cause set to "UE Requested PS Data session end" after PS data transmission is complete. The RNC identifies the R8 fast dormancy UEs by reading the value of IE Signaling Connection Release Indication Cause. This mechanism is standardized by 3GPP Release 8. Some Release 6 and Release 7 smartphones, such as iPhones, have been enabled with the fast dormancy function defined in Release 8.
l Pre fast dormancy: The RNC identifies the pre fast dormancy UEs using the Type Allocation Codes (TACs).

This mechanism, which is not standardized, is used for the early proprietary implementations of fast dormancy. The international mobile equipment identity (IMEI), which consists of 14 decimal digits and one check digit, contains TAC and SNR. 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 structure of the IMEI, which is shown as follows, is specified in 3GPP TS 23.003. TAC (8bit) SNR (6bit) Spare (1bit)

To identify pre fast dormancy UEs, FD_TAC_MATCH_SWITCH of the PROCESSSWITCH parameter on the RNC side needs to be turned on. The TAC parameter has been set for the pre fast dormancy UEs by the ADD UIMEITAC command after FastDormancy is ebabled. The RNC checks the TAC of the IMEI in the IDENTITY REQUEST message. If the TAC is included in the EFD list, the UE can use EFD.

5 State Transitions for Fast Dormancy UEs


When EFD is disabled, upon receiving an SCRI message from a UE, the RNC releases the UEs RRC connection. The EFD switches are specified by the RNC-level subparameter FAST_DORMANCY_SWITCH of the parameter PROCESSSWITCH. When EFD is enabled, state transition procedures vary according to the UE type as follows:
l For R8 fast dormancy UEs and pre fast dormancy UEs in EFD list: If the RNC received the SCRI, The RNC transfers the UE to CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH/URA_PCH. The RNC_EFD_D2F_SWITCH of the OptimizationSwitch parameter

in the SET URRCTRLSWITCH command and FD_TAC_FORCE_D2F_SWITCH of the PROCESSSWITCH parameter in the ADD UIMEITAC command controls whether the UE transits to the CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH/URA_PCH state.
After PS data transmission is complete, If UE is in CELL_DCH, the PS inactivity timer (PsInactTmrForFstDrmDch) for EFD in CELL_DCH is started. If the PS inactivity

timer for EFD in CELL_DCH expires, the RNC transfers the UE to CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH/URA_PCH.
After PS data transmission is complete, If UE is in CELL_FACH, the PS inactivity timer (PsInactTmrForFstDrmFach) for EFD in CELL_FACH is started. If the PS inactivity

timer for EFD in CELL_FACH expires, the RNC transfers the UE to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH.
If UE is transferred to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH, the PS inactivity timer (PsInactTmrForPreFstDrm ) is started. If the PS inactivity timer for EFD in CELL_PCH/URA_PCH

expires, the RNC transfers the UE to IDLE. The value of this timer should be less than or equal to that of T305, preventing the UE from being always in the CELL_PCH state and unable to enter the idle state.
If UE is in CELL_PCH/URA_PCH and has something to send and the condition for P2D/U2D is not satisfied, the RNC instructs the UE to enter the CELL_FACH state. TAC-based P2D/U2D transitions. That is, when FD_P2D_SWITCH of PROCESSSWITCH in the ADD UIMEITAC command is turned on, a P2D/U2D transition starts if

the UE's TAC is identical with the TAC added to the EFD list by running the ADD UIMEITAC command and the UE experiences uplink data transmission or has a paging response in the PS domain.
For details about P2D/U2D transitions related to FACH congestion, see section 4.3 "FACH Congestion Control" in Flow Control Feature Parameter Description . If UE is in CELL_FACH and send messages whose traffic volume is higher than FastDormancyF2DHTvmThd , The RNC will transfer the UE from CELL_FACH to CELL_

DCH.
The main factor for triggering the D2I transitions is FACH congestion. For details about state transitions due to FACH congestion, see section 4.3 FACH Congestion Control

in Flow Control Feature Parameter Description .


For details about P2U/U2U/D2D/CPC/E-FACH and D2F/F2P based on 4B event state transitions, see State Transition Feature Parameter Description . l For pre fast dormancy UEs not in EFD list: If the RNC received the SCRI, the RNC transfers the UE to IDLE state. The state transition for pre fast dormancy UEs not in EFD list is the same to ordinary UEs. For details, see State Transition Feature Parameter Description . For details about state transitions due to FACH congestion, see section 4.3 FACH Congestion Control in Flow Control Feature Parameter Description .

Figure 5-1 shows the state transitions for R8 fast dormancy UEs and pre fast dormancy UEs in EFD list. Figure 5-1 State transitions for R8 fast dormancy UEs and pre fast dormancy UEs in EFD list

The specific state transition in Figure 5-1 depends on the data configuration on the RNC side listed in Table 5-1. Table 5-1 State transitions for R8 fast dormancy UEs and pre fast dormancy UEs in EFD list

Enhanced Fast Dormancy


Type D2P D2U D2F F2P F2U Description D2P/D2U indicates a transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH, F2P/F2U from CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH, and D2F from CELL_ DCH to CELL_FACH. The RNC starts the PS inactivity timer for fast dormancy when inactivity on PS data is detected.
l PsInactTmrForFstDrmDch specifies the PS inactivity timer for CELL_DCH. l PsInactTmrForFstDrmFach specifies the PS inactivity timer for CELL_FACH. l PsInactTmrForPreFstDrm specifies the PS inactivity timer for CELL_PCH/URA_PCH.

Page 8

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 an SCRI message from the UE, the UE changes states as follows:
l For a UE in the CELL_DCH state: If RNC_EFD_D2F_SWITCH of the OptimizationSwitch in the SET URRCTRLSWITCH command is turned off or FD_TAC_FORCE_D2F_SWITCH

of the PROCESSSWITCH parameter in the ADD UIMEITAC command is turned on, the RNC triggers a D2F transition.
If RNC_EFD_D2F_SWITCH of the OptimizationSwitch in the SET URRCTRLSWITCH command is turned on and FD_TAC_FORCE_D2F_SWITCH

of PROCESSSWITCH in the ADD UIMEITAC command is turned off, the RNC triggers a D2P/D2U transition.

The D2F and F2P/F2U state transitions are recommended for the following reasons:
l During

an IOT test, some terminal issues occur. Occasionally, terminals fail to establish services after a transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH. with a state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH and then to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH, the state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH/

This failure has a bad impact on user experience.


l Compare

URA_PCH does not improve the network performance or user experience.


l Some

terminals send CELL UPDATE message to transfer data immediately after a state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH, which increases

the signaling messages and leads to a heavy load on the Uu interface.


l For a UE in the CELL_FACH state, the RNC trigger an F2P/F2U state transition.

D2I

D2I indicates a transition from CELL_DCH to idle. D2I is mainly used for FACH congestion. For details about state transitions due to FACH congestion, see section 4.3 FACH Congestion Control in Flow Control Feature Parameter Description .

P2I/U2I

P2I/U2I indicates a transition from CELL_PCH/URA_PCH to idle. If the UE is in the CELL_PCH/URA_PCH state, when the PS inactivity timer for fast dormancy (specified by PsInactTmrForPreFstDrm ) expires, the RNC releases the UE's RRC connection and then the UE enters idle mode.

P2D U2D

P2D/U2D indicates a transition from CELL_PCH/URA_PCH to CELL_DCH.


TAC-based P2D/U2D transitions. That is, when FD_P2D_SWITCH of PROCESSSWITCH in the ADD UIMEITAC command is turned on, a P2D/U2D

transition starts if the UE's TAC is identical with the TAC added to the EFD list by running the ADD UIMEITAC command and the UE experiences uplink data transmission or has a paging response in the PS domain.
For details about P2D/U2D transitions related to FACH congestion, see section 4.3 "FACH Congestion Control" in Flow Control Feature Parameter

Description . P2F U2F F2D P2F/U2F indicates a transition from CELL_PCH/URA_PCH to CELL_FACH. When the UE has something to send and the condition for P2D/U2D is not satisfied, the RNC instructs the UE to enter the CELL_FACH state. F2D indicates a transition from CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH. When a fast dormancy UE is in the CELL_FACH state, When the fast dormancy UE send messages whose traffic volume is higher than FastDormancyF2DHTvmThd , The RNC will transfer the UE from CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH. The FastDormancyF2DHTvmThd is a new threshold of event 4a for fast dormancy UE, This threshold is set to bigger than traffic volume of most heartbeat messages to prevent state transitions from being triggered by a smallsized heartbeat messages. P2U U2U D2D CPC and EFACH state transitions For details about P2U transitions, see State Transition Feature Parameter Description . For details about U2U transitions, see State Transition Feature Parameter Description . For details about D2D transitions, see State Transition Feature Parameter Description .

6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use Enhanced Fast Dormancy
The EFD feature is recommended for scenarios where the proportion of intelligent UEs is high, leading to a high CPU load on control-plane board in the RNC and on baseband processing boards in the NodeB. This feature reduces the Uu, Iu, and Iub signaling, uplink and downlink channel element (CE) consumption, and CPU load.

For the BSC6900, a signaling processing unit is the SPUa or SPUb board. For the BSC6910, a signaling processing unit is the EGPUa board.

6.2 Deploying Enhanced Fast Dormancy


This feature cannot be configured using the CME.

6.2.1 Requirements
l Dependencies on Hardware

This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware.
l Dependencies on Other Features

This feature does not depend on other features.


l License

The licenses "Fast Dormancy Enhancement(per PS Active User)" on the RNC side have been activated. For details about the license items and how to activate the license, see License Management Feature Parameter Description .

The license must be activated by performing the following operation first: Run the RNC MML command SET LICENSE to set Fast Dormancy Enhancement-per PS Active User to an appropriate value.
l Other Prerequisites

It is good practice to maintain load balancing among all frequencies in the network when using this feature, if the network is a service-layered network as follows and RNC_EFD_ D2F_SWITCH(RNC_EFD_D2F_SWITCH) of the Optimization Switch in the SET URRCTRLSWITCH command is set to 0 , in order to reduce the call drops for UEs in the CELL_FACH state that support fast dormancy, Wait RB reconfiguration response timer and RL restoration timer in the SET USTATETIMER command need to be set to 11000 and 15000 respectively.
Frequency F1 carries R99 services. Frequency F2 carries HSPA services. F2 does not allow UEs in the idle, CELL_FACH, or CELL_PCH state to camp on.

6.2.2 Data Preparation


Before deploying the feature, consult Huawei engineers to obtain professional technical support.

6.2.3 Feature Activation (The UE supporting fast dormancy is a Pre-Release 8 UE)


1. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the feature Enhanced Fast Dormancy at the RNC-level. In this step, select the FAST_DORMANCY_ SWITCH under the PROCESSSWITCH. 2. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to select the RNC_PS_QUERY_UE_IMEI_SWITCH under the PROCESSSWITCH2 . 3. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable cell update during CS service setup. In this step, select the AMR_F2D_OVERLAP_CELLUPT_ SWITCH(AMR_F2D_OVERLAP_CELLUPT_SWITCH) check box under the parameter Optimization Switch.

After this feature is enabled, the number of CELL_DCH-to-CELL_FACH (D2F) procedures performed increases. If a CS service is initiated after the UE performs a D2F procedure, a cell update procedure may be initiated during the CS service setup. The switch AMR_F2D_OVERLAP_CELLUPT_SWITCH(AMR_F2D_OVERLAP_CELLUPT_ SWITCH) specifies whether to allow cell update during CS service setup. When the switch is turned on, for UEs that are establishing AMR services and shifting from the CELL_ FACH state to the CELL_DCH state, the RNC stops establishing AMR services to handle cell update if the RNC receives from the UEs a cell update message containing the cause value "cell reselection." 4. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the state transition from CELL_PCH or URA_PCH to CELL_DCH triggered by FACH congestion. In this step, select the P2D_SWITCH(P2D_SWITCH) check box under the parameter Optimization Switch.

5. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH. In this step, select the RNC_EFD_D2F_SWITCH (RNC_EFD_D2F_SWITCH) check box under the parameter Optimization Switch.

The switch RNC_EFD_D2F_SWITCH(RNC_EFD_D2F_SWITCH) specifies whether to allow the state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH. When this switch is turned on, the state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH is allowed. When this switch is turned off, the state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH is allowed. After this feature is enabled, the FACH will carry a large amount of data, which may lead to FACH congestion. Therefore, it is recommended that a new SCCPCH be added. For details about how to handle FACH congestion in other methods, see section "FACH Congestion Control" in the Flow Control Feature Parameter Description . 6. Run the RNC MML command SET UPSINACTTIMER to set the value of the CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH, and CELL_PCH inactivity timer respectively.
The recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_DCH is 5 seconds. The recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_FACH is 5 seconds. The recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_PCH is 1800 seconds.

This document provide the recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_DCH, the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_FACH, and the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_PCH . 7. Run the RNC MML command SET UUESTATETRANS. In this step, set Fast Dormancy User FACH/E_FACH2DCH/HSPA 4A Threshold to D1024. 8. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the Type Allocation Code (TAC) match function. In this step, select the FD_TAC_MATCH_SWITCH under the PROCESSSWITCH. Run the RNC MML commandADD UIMEITAC to set the value of the TAC to add the IMEI TACs of smart UEs to the whitelist, and set the Fast Dormancy Switch to ON . 9. Run the RNC MML command ADD TRMFACTOR and MOD ADJMAP to change the Iu-PS activity factor. The recommended value of the Iu-PS activity factor is 10%. If the configured Iu-PS activity factor is smaller than 10%, retain the configured value.

After this feature is enabled, the number of UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state increases sharply. UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state consume a large number of IuPS bandwidth resources although they do not transmit any data. Adjusting the Iu-PS activity factor can prevent PS service admission failures due to the increase in the number of UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state.

The Iu-PS activity factor of all services must be set to an appropriate value. Otherwise, a large number of PS service setups fail, and the CPU usage of the SPU boards increases sharply.

6.2.4 Feature Activation (The UE supporting fast dormancy is a Release 8 or later Release UE)
1. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the feature Enhanced Fast Dormancy at the RNC-level. In this step, select the FAST_DORMANCY_ SWITCH under the PROCESSSWITCH. 2. Run the RNC MML command SET UCONNMODETIMER to set the value of the Timer 323.

If the UE supporting fast dormancy is a Release 8 or later Release UE, you need to set timer 323 after enabling fast dormancy. When the network supports the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH , it is good practice to set timer 323 to 120s. When the network does not support CELL_PCH or URA_PCH , it is good practice to set timer 323 to 10s. 3. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable cell update during CS service setup. In this step, select the AMR_F2D_OVERLAP_CELLUPT_ SWITCH(AMR_F2D_OVERLAP_CELLUPT_SWITCH) check box under the parameter Optimization Switch.

After this feature is enabled, the number of CELL_DCH-to-CELL_FACH (D2F) procedures performed increases. If a CS service is initiated after the UE performs a D2F procedure, a cell update procedure may be initiated during the CS service setup. The switch AMR_F2D_OVERLAP_CELLUPT_SWITCH(AMR_F2D_OVERLAP_CELLUPT_ SWITCH) specifies whether to allow cell update during CS service setup. When the switch is turned on, for UEs that are establishing AMR services and shifting from the CELL_ FACH state to the CELL_DCH state, the RNC stops establishing AMR services to handle cell update if the RNC receives from the UEs a cell update message containing the cause value "cell reselection." 4. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the state transition from CELL_PCH or URA_PCH to CELL_DCH triggered by FACH congestion. In this step, select the P2D_SWITCH(P2D_SWITCH) check box under the parameter Optimization Switch. 5. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to disable the state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH .

The switch RNC_EFD_D2F_SWITCH(RNC_EFD_D2F_SWITCH) specifies whether to allow the state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH. When this switch is turned on, the state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH is allowed. When this switch is turned off, the state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH is allowed. After this feature is enabled, the FACH will carry a large amount of data, which may lead to FACH congestion. Therefore, it is recommended that a new SCCPCH be added. For details about how to handle FACH congestion in other methods, see section "FACH Congestion Control" in the Flow Control Feature Parameter Description . 6. Run the RNC MML command SET UPSINACTTIMER to set the value of the CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH, and CELL_PCH inactivity timer respectively.
The recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_DCH is 5 seconds. The recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_FACH is 5 seconds. The recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_PCH is 1800 seconds.

This document provide the recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_DCH, the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_FACH, and the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_PCH . 7. Run the RNC MML command SET UUESTATETRANS. In this step, set Fast Dormancy User FACH/E_FACH2DCH/HSPA 4A Threshold to D1024. 8. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the Type Allocation Code (TAC) match function. In this step, select the FD_TAC_MATCH_SWITCH under the PROCESSSWITCH. 9. Run the RNC MML command ADD TRMFACTOR and MOD ADJMAP to change the Iu-PS activity factor. The recommended value of the Iu-PS activity factor is 10%. If the configured Iu-PS activity factor is smaller than 10%, retain the configured value.

After this feature is enabled, the number of UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state increases sharply. UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state consume a large number of IuPS bandwidth resources although they do not transmit any data. Adjusting the Iu-PS activity factor can prevent PS service admission failures due to the increase in the number of UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state.

The Iu-PS activity factor of all services must be set to an appropriate value. Otherwise, a large number of PS service setups fail, and the CPU usage of the SPU boards increases sharply.

6.2.5 Activation Check


1. Run the RNC MML command DSP LICUSAGE to query the state of the license for this feature. If the result shown in Figure 6-1 is returned, the license for this feature has been configured. Figure 6-1 Status of the Enhanced Fast Dormancy license

2. Initiate Uu interface message tracing on the RNC LMT. 3. Use a smart UE that its IMEI TAC has been added into whitelist to set up a PS service in the CELL_DCH state. For example, use the UE to browse a Web page. If the RRC_RB_SETUP message shown in Figure 6-2 is traced, the UE is in the CELL_DCH state. Figure 6-2 UE in the CELL_DCH state

4. Keep the UE in IDLE mode for 10 seconds and perform no operation after a Web page is opened. If the RRC_RB_RECFG message shown in Figure 6-3 is traced, the UE will move from the CELL_DCH state to the CELL_FACH state and then to the CELL_PCH state. Figure 6-3 State transition to the CELL_PCH state

Meaning:1) FD_P2D_SWITCH (TAC-Level P2D Control Switch) When the switch is turned on, state transition from CELL_PCH/ URA_PCH to CELL_DCH of a UE is triggered if the following conditions are met: 1. The TAC of the UE is the same as that configured on the RNC. 2. The UE is in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state, and the RNC receives a CELL UPDATE message containing a cause value of "uplink data transmission" or "PS paging response." When the switch is turned off, state transition from CELL_PCH/ URA_PCH to CELL_DCH is not triggered by the CELL UPDATE message containing "uplink data transmission" or "PS paging response." In this case, however, the state transition can be triggered by other factors in the system. For example, if the UE is in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state, the state transition to CELL_ DCH can be triggered by a CS terminated call. 2) FD_TAC_FORCE_D2F_SWITCH (TAC-based D2F Switch for UEs Supporting Fast Dormancy) When the switch is turned on, state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH is forcibly performed on the UE with the corresponding TAC and supporting fast dormancy. When both this switch and the RNC-level CELL_DCH-toCELL_FACH (D2F for short) switch are turned off, CELL_ DCH to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH state transition is forcibly performed on the UE with the corresponding TAC and supporting fast dormancy. When the switch is turned off and the RNC-level D2F switch is turned on, state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH is forcibly performed on the UE with the corresponding TAC and supporting fast dormancy.

When it is checked, RNC will start Invoke Trace procedure upon receiving INVOKE TRACE Message form CN, otherwise, RNC won't start the Invoke Trace procedure though it receives the INVOKE TRACE message. 2)SYS_INFO_UPDATE_FOR_IU_RST. When it is checked, RNC will broadcast SYSTEM INFORMATION messages to UE when Iu transmission failure occurs, otherwise, RNC won't broadcast SYSTEM INFORMATION messages to UE when Iu transmission failure occurs. 3)DRNC_DIRECT_DSCR. When it is checked, DRNC will start DSCR procedure directly in RRC states other than CELL_DCH, otherwise, DRNC will transfer RRC CELL UPDATE message to SRNC. 4)RNC_SHARE_SWITCH. When it is checked, the traffic sharing function is enabled, otherwise, the traffic sharing function is disabled, service access will be affected under heavy traffic. 5)RNCAP_IMSI_HO_SWITCH. When it is checked, Imsi handover function will be used, otherwise it will be not used. 6)TERMINAL_VERSION_DEBASE_SWITCH. When it is checked, terminal version R4 will debase to R99. 7)SYS_HO_OUT_CIPHER_SWITCH. When it is checked, the RNC will add ciphering byte at GSM HANDOVER COMMAND if the GSM system do not add any cipher information at that message. 8)SYS_HO_CIPHER_CONFIG. When it is checked, the cipher configuration in the added cipher byte in GSM will be A5/1.When it is no checked ,the cipher configuration is A5/0. 9)BARRED_CELL_FOR_CSDOMAIN_RST. When it is checked, cell will be bared when CS domain is invalid, otherwise the CS domain will be bared when CS domain is invalid. It is invalid If SYS_INFO_UPDATE_FOR_IU_RST is not checked. 10)CR2284R1_SWITCH. In section 8.6.6.28 of TS25.331 of R5 Before2006, it describes that the HFN should add one when UE is ciphering in the situation 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.

Page 24

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 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. 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. 23)NONPTT_L1_FAST_SYNC_SWITCH.

When this switch is turned on, if a UE sets up a non-PTT service on the DCH, the RNC includes the Post-verification period information element (IE) in a Uu message to instruct the UE to perform concurrent uplink and downlink synchronization. When this switch is turned off, if a UE sets up a non-PTT service on the DCH, the RNC does not include the Postverification period IE in a Uu message. The UE first performs downlink synchronization and then uplink synchronization. 24)URAPCH_LAYERED_PAGING_RT_SWITCH. Whether the RNC allows Layered Paging in URA_PCH for a UE processing real-time services. When this switch is turned on, the RNC sends paging messages to the cell on which a UE processing real-time services camped recently and to the neighboring cells of this cell. The RNC pages the UE in the entire UTRAN registration area (URA) only when it does not receive a response from the UE. This significantly reduces the number of paging messages on the Uu interface. When this switch is turned off, the RNC directly pages the UE in the entire URA. 25)URAPCH_LAYERED_PAGING_NRT_SWITCH. Whether the RNC allows Layered Paging in URA_PCH for a UE processing non-real-time services. When this switch is turned on, the RNC sends paging messages to the cell on which a UE processing non-real-time services camped recently and to the neighboring cells of this cell. The RNC pages the UE in the entire URA only when the RNC does not receive a response from the UE. This significantly reduces the number of paging messages on the Uu interface. When this switch is turned off, the RNC directly pages the UE in the entire URA. 26)IDLE_LAYERED_PAGING_NRT_SWITCH. Whether to enable layered paging for UEs in the idle state who will establish non-real-time service. When this switch is turned on (selected), the first broadcasts a paging message in the cell who has interacted with the UE for the last time and its neighboring cells. If the UE cannot be paged, the RNC then broadcasts a paging message in the LAC or RAC area. When this switch is turned off (deselected), the RNC directly broadcasts a paging message in the LAC or RAC area. 27)IDLE_LAYERED_PAGING_RT_SWITCH. Whether to enable layered paging for UEs in the idle state who will establish real-time service. When this switch is turned on (selected),first broadcasts a paging message in the cell who has interacted with the UE for the last time and its neighboring cells. If the UE cannot be paged, the RNC then broadcasts a paging message in the LAC or RAC area. When this switch is turned off (deselected), the RNC directly broadcasts a paging message in the LAC or RAC area. 28)INTELLIGENT_WIFI_DETECT_AND_SELECTION. Whether to enable intelligent Wi-Fi detection and selection for the RNC. When this switch is turned on, the RNC supports intelligent WiFi detection and selection. When this switch is turned off, the RNC does not supports intelligent Wi-Fi detection and selection. 29)INTERRAT_LOAD_REPORT_FOR_LTE_SWITCH. Whether to enable the RIM-based cell load sharing function. When this switch is turned on, RIM-based load sharing can be achieved between UMTS and LTE cells. Upon receiving a load

Therefore, UMTS cells do not respond to load sharing requests from LTE cells. 30)PTUSER_IDENTIFY_SWITCH. Whether to preferentially guarantee platinum users in terms of network access, voice quality, or PS service rate. When this switch is turned on, the RNC recognizes platinum users and preferentially guarantees their user experience. When this switch is turned off, the RNC does not recognize platinum users and does not preferentially guarantee their user experience.

If the UE receives CELL UPDATE CONFIRM/URA UPDATE CONFIRM message and the UE enters CELL_FACH, URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state after state transition, T305 is started too. T305 is stopped after the UE enters another state. CELL UPDATE will be transmitted upon the expiry of this timer if T307 is not activated and the UE detects "in service area"; otherwise, T307 will be started. Protocol default value is 30. "Infinity" means the cell will not be updated. GUI Value Range:INFINITY, D5, D10, D30, D60, D120, D360, D720 Actual Value Range:INFINITY, 5, 10, 30, 60, 120, 360, 720 Unit:min Default Value:D30 T323 BSC6900/ BSC6910 SET WRFD-010101 UCONNMODETIMER 3GPP R9 Specifications Meaning:If the UE checks that no PS/CS data is transmitted, the UE will send the SIGNALLING CONNECTION RELEASE INDICATION message to the RNC, informing the RNC to When a UE is not processing any CS or PS service and the T323 timer is effective, the UE sends the RNC a SIGNALLING CONNECTION RELEASE INDICATION message specific to PS services with the IE "Signalling Connection Release Indication Cause" set to "UE Requested PS Data session end"

and then the timer starts. Before the timer expires, the UE is not allowed to resend the message. After the timer expires, the UE is allowed to resend the message if the UE is still not processing any PS service. Note that if the timer is set to DO, the timer duration is 0, the UE is allowed to send the message and then the timer starts ; if the timer is set to INVALID, the timer is ineffective. For details about the timer, see section 8.1.14 in 3GPP 25.331.
