2 Overview of DRD
2 Overview of DRD
DRD is used to select a suitable cell for a UE to access. Different types of DRD can be adopted during different phases of service processing. In this way, the system capacity is maximized, and better services are provided. Figure 2-1 shows the different types of DRD. Figure 2-1 Types of DRD
As show in Figure 2-1, RRC DRD is performed during RRC setup phase, which starts with RRC connection request and ends with RRC connection setup complete. As show in Figure 2-1, RAB DRD is performed during the RAB phase, which starts with RAB setup processing and ends with RAB release. There are two types of RAB DRD:
Non-periodic DRD Non-periodic DRD is available during RAB setup, RAB modification, or DCCC channel reconfiguration. Periodic DRD.
Periodic DRD is available after RAB setup or after the bearer scheme is changed.

3.1 Overview
The RNC preferably selects the serving cell for the UE to access, if the serving cell does not support SRB over HSPA when it is selected as the bearer scheme, or RRC connection setup fails in the serving cell, RRC DRD is performed and RNC instructs the UE to try to set up an RRC connection in a suitable inter-frequency neighboring cell on the same frequency band. The causes of RRC connection setup failure contain the call admission failure in the RNC side and the RL setup failure for the resources insufficient in the NodeB side. RRC DRD can make the UE preferably setting up RRC connection in the cell that supports the preferred type of channel for carrying SRBs and improving RRC connection setup success rate. The DR_ RRC_DRD_SWITCH sub-parameter of the DrSwitch parameter determines whether RRC DRD is enabled.

3.2 Procedure
Figure 3-1 The RRC DRD procedure
The RRC DRD procedure is as follows: 1. When receiving an RRC connection request, the RNC determines whether to process RRC connection setup in the serving cell based on the preferred type of channel for carrying SRBs. Details are as follows:
If
the serving cell supports the preferred type of channel for carrying SRBs, the RRC connection is set up in the serving cell. If the RRC connection setup fails in the serving cell, the RNC proceeds with the operation specified in step 2. the serving cell does not support the preferred type of channel for carrying SRBs, the RNC proceeds with the operation specified in step 2. The SrbChlType parameter specifies the preferred type of channel for carrying SRBs, DCH(Uplink_DCH, Downlink_DCH), HSDPA(Uplink _DCH, Downlink _HSDSCH), HSUPA(Uplink

_EDCH, Downlink _DCH), or HSPA(Uplink EDCH, Downlink_HSDSCH) can be configured as the preferred type of channel for carrying SRBs. During RRC connection setup phase, this parameter is valid only when the SrbChlTypeRrcEffectFlag parameter is set to true. 2. Determine whether the serving cell has an inter-frequency co-coverage neighboring cell running on the same frequency band for blind handovers.
If
the serving cell has such neighboring cells and, a. Some of these cells support the preferred type of channel for carrying SRBs, the neighboring cells that support the preferred type of channel for carrying SRBs are DRD candidate cells. In this case, the RNC proceeds with the operation specified in step 3.
b. None of these neighboring cells supports the preferred type of channel for carrying SRBs, the RRC connection is set up in the serving cell by channel fallback. If the RRC connection setup fails, all inter-frequency neighboring cells running on the same frequency band for blind handovers are DRD candidate cells, and the RNC proceeds with the operation specified in step 3.
If
the serving cell does not have such a neighboring cell, the RRC connection is set up in the serving cell by channel fallback. If the RRC connection setup fails, the algorithm goes to step 5. Whether the neighboring cells support blind handovers is specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag.
3. The RNC generates a list of inter-frequency candidate cells that support DRD according to the following condition: (CPICH_EcNo)RACH > DRD_EcNOnbcell Here:
(CPICH_EcNo)RACH DRD_EcNOnbcell
is the cached CPICH Ec/N0 value included in the RACH measurement report. Note that this value is for the current cell. is the DRD threshold (specified by the DRDEcN0Threshhold parameter of cell level) of the neighboring cell.
4. The RNC selects a target cell from the candidate cells for UE access. If the candidate cell list contains more than one cell, the RNC selects the target cell randomly.
If
the UE is granted access, the RNC sends the UE an RRC Connection Setup message, containing the information about the target cell. The UE sends the RNC an RRC Connection Setup Complete message, indicating that UE access is complete. the UE is not granted access, the RNC instructs the UE to try to access another cell in the candidate cell list until it successfully accesses a cell. If all access attempts fail, the algorithm goes to step 5.
If
5. If the function of RRC redirection after DRD failure is enabled, the RNC performs RRC redirection. Otherwise, the RRC connection setup fails. For details about RRC redirection after the DRD failure, see the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.

4.1 Overview
Non-periodic DRD is used to select a suitable cell for UE access. It can be performed during a RAB setup, RAB modification, or DCCC channel reconfiguration. Non-periodic DRD can be measurement-based or blind-handover-based.
Blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD is used to select a suitable cell for a UE to access according to device type priority, HSPA+ technological satisfaction, service priority, and cell load. It enables the UE to be served with the best technological satisfaction and implements service steering and load balancing. Measurement-based non-periodic DRD (MBDR) is used to select a cell with qualifying signals for a UE to access according to the measurement result of signal quality. Compared with blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD, MBDR increases DRD success rate when the current cell and the DRD target cell cover different areas, however, increase the UE access delay.
Blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD and measurement-based non-periodic DRD (MBDR) cannot be used simultaneously. When MBDR is enabled, blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD is automatically disabled. When MBDR is disabled, the following parameters determine whether to enable blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD:

For a single service, blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD is enabled by the DR_RAB_SING_DRD_SWITCH sub-parameter of the DrSwitch parameter. For combined services, blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD is enabled by the DR_RAB_COMB_DRD_SWITCH sub-parameter of the DrSwitch parameter.
Note that if the measurement-based periodic DRD switch BasedOnMeasHRetryDRDSwitch is set to ON, blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD is also controlled by the BlindDrdExceptHRetrySwitch parameter. For example, if MBDR is disabled, the DR_RAB_SING_DRD_SWITCH sub-parameter of the DrSwitch parameter is set to ON, and the BasedOnMeasHRetryDRDSwitch parameter is set to ON, then blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD for a single service is enabled only if the BlindDrdExceptHRetrySwitch parameter is also set to ON. For detailed information about blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD, see section 4.2 "Blind-Handover-Based Non-Periodic DRD." For detailed information about measurement-based non-periodic DRD, see section 4.3 "Measurement-Based Non-Periodic DRD."
4.2 Blind-Handover-Based Non-Periodic DRD

Blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD consists of inter-frequency DRD (WRFD-02040001 Intra System Direct Retry) and inter-RAT DRD (WRFD-02040002 Inter System Direct Retry). For detailed information about inter-frequency DRD, see section 4.2.1 "Inter-Frequency DRD."

4.2.1 Inter-Frequency DRD

Overview
An inter-frequency DRD procedure consists of DRD for device type steering, DRD for technological satisfaction, DRD for service steering, and DRD for load balancing. The RNC performs these DRDs in sequence. Table 4-1 describes the parameters that control the corresponding DRD functions. Table 4-1 Parameters that control the corresponding DRD functions DRD Function Description of Control Switches
DRD for device type steering DRD for device type steering is controlled by the parameter DPGDRDSwitch. DRD for HSPA+ technological DRD for HSPA+ technological satisfaction is controlled by the parameter satisfaction HSPAPlusSatisSwitch. DRD for HSPA+ technological satisfaction is applicable only to UEs requesting HSPA+ services. DRD for service steering DRD for load balancing DRD for service steering is controlled by the parameter ServiceDiffDrdSwitch The availability of DRD for load balancing is specified by associated parameters as follows:
The availability of power-based DRD for load balancing for DCH services is specified by the LdbDRDSwitchDCH parameter. The availability of power-based DRD for load balancing for HSDPA services is specified by the LdbDRDSwitchHSDPA parameter. The availability of code-based DRD for load balancing is specified by the CodeBalancingDrdSwitch parameter.
If one of the DRD functions is disabled, the RNC does not consider the conditions based on which this type of DRD is performed. For example, if DRD for load balancing is disabled, the RNC does not consider the cell load when selecting a cell based on inter-frequency DRD.
Procedure
Figure 4-1 shows the algorithm procedure of inter-frequency DRD when one of DRD functions is available at least, that is the UE requesting HSPA+ Service or the UE requesting non-HSPA+ Service and one of DRD functions (DRD for device type steering, DRD for service steering and DRD for load balancing) enabled at least.
Note: DRD for HSPA+ technological satisfaction is applicable only to UEs requesting HSPA+ services.

Figure 4-1 Inter-Frequency DRD procedure when at least one DRD function is available
As show in Figure 4-1, when one of DRD functions is available at least, the inter-frequency DRD procedure is as follows: 1. The RNC determines the candidate cells to which blind handovers can be performed. Whether the neighboring cells support blind handovers is specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag. A candidate cell must meet the following conditions:

The candidate cell supports the requested service. The frequency of the candidate cell is in the band supported by the UE. The current cell meets the quality requirements of inter-frequency DRD. For details, see chapter 3 "RRC DRD."
The current cell is also considered as a candidate cell if it supports the requested service.

2. The RNC selects a target cell from the candidate cells for UE access as follows: (a) When DRD for device type steering is enabled, the RNC selects a cell with the highest device type steering priority as described in section 4.2.2 "Inter-Frequency DRD for Device Type Steering." If multiple cells have the highest device type steering priority, proceed to step (b). Otherwise, proceed to step 3. (b) When DRD for HSPA+ technological satisfaction is enabled and the UE requests HSPA+ services. the RNC selects a cell with the highest technological satisfaction as described in section 4.2.3 "Inter-Frequency DRD for Technological Satisfaction." If multiple cells have the highest technological satisfaction, proceed to step (c). Otherwise, proceed to step 3.. (c) when DRD for service steering is enabled, the RNC selects a cell based on DRD for service steering as described in section 4.2.4 "Inter-Frequency DRD for Service Steering." If multiple cells have the highest service priority, proceed to step (d). Otherwise, proceed to step 3. (d) When DRD for load balancing is enabled, the RNC selects a cell based on DRD for load balancing as described in section4.2.5 Inter-Frequency DRD for Load Balancing".If multiple cells have the lightest load, the RNC selects the target cell randomly from the candidate cells of the lightest load. Otherwise, the RNC selects the target cell randomly from the candidate cells of the highest priority. Proceed to step 3.
When none of DRD functions is available, that is DRD for device type steering, DRD for service steering, DRD for HSPA+ technological satisfaction and DRD for load balancing are disabled, the RNC firstly instructs the UE to try to access the current cell. If the access fails, the RNC selects a target cell randomly from the candidate cells for the UE, proceed to step 3.
3. The call admission control (CAC) algorithm makes an admission decision based on the resource status of the cell.

If the admission attempt is successful, the RNC initiates an inter-frequency blind handover to the cell. If the admission attempt fails, the RNC removes the cell from the list of candidate cells and then checks whether all candidate cells have been tried.
If If
there is any candidate cell that has not been tried, the algorithm goes back to step 2 to try this cell. all candidate cells have been tried and
(a) When the service request is an HSPA one, the HSPA request is demoted to a DCH request and the algorithm goes back to step 1 to retry admission based on R99 service requests. (b) When the service request is a DCH one, the RNC initiates an inter-RAT DRD as described in section 4.2.6 "Inter-RAT DRD."
4.2.2 Inter-Frequency DRD for Device Type Steering

Inter-Frequency DRD for device type steering belongs to the feature WRFD-020135 Intelligent Inter-Carrier Layered Management, which allows the RAN to intelligently distinguish between user equipment (UEs) and data cards in multi-carrier scenarios and set up services on different carriers based on terminal type priority. The availability of DRD for device type steering is specified by the DPGDRDSwitch parameter through MML command SET UDRD (RNC level switch) or ADD UCELLDRD (cell level switch). For details, see the Intelligent Inter-Carrier Layered Management on UEs and Data Cards Feature Parameter Description.

4.2.3 Inter-Frequency DRD for Technological Satisfaction

Overview
Technological satisfaction refers to determining whether a candidate cell satisfies the technical specifications for certain services, such as HSPA/HSPA+ services. DRD for technological satisfaction is used to select a suitable cell and HSPA/HSPA+ technologies for a UE based on the HSPA+ technologies supported by the UE and the attributes of the requested service, such as the bearer channel, service type, and service rate.
HSPA Technological Satisfaction

For a UE requesting HSPA services, the RNC preferentially enables the UE to access an HSPA cell. The priority order for HSPA technologies is as follows: HSDPA/HSUPA > HSDPA/DCH > DCH/HSUPA. The priority order is not controlled by switches and is always active for HSPA services.
HSPA+ Technological Satisfaction

DRD for HSPA+ technological satisfaction is applicable only to UEs requesting HSPA+ services. DRD for HSPA+ technological satisfaction consists of the following processes: 1. The RNC determines the HSPA+ technologies that can be configured on the UE, based on the HSPA+ technologies supported by the UE and attributes of the requested service, as described in the Radio Bearers Feature Parameter Description. 2. The RNC determines the HSPA+ technological satisfaction of each candidate cell based on the priorities of HSPA+ technologies as well as the HSPA+ technologies that can be both configured on the UE and supported by the cell. 3. The RNC selects a suitable cell for the UE based on the priority sequence of HSPA+ technologies. The RNC also determines the HSPA+ technologies for the UE, which are the HSPA+ technologies that can be both configured on the UE and supported by the cell.
Priority Sequence of HSPA+ Technologies

The HSPAPlusSatisSwitch parameter specifies whether HSPA+ technological satisfaction is considered in the DRD procedure. When this parameter is set to ON, HSPA+ technological satisfaction is considered in the DRD procedure for the HSPA+ services. The technological satisfaction of a cell is determined by the HSPA+ technologies that can be both configured on the UE and supported by the cell. If these HSPA+ technologies have a high priority, the cell is considered to have a high technological satisfaction. The HSPA+ technologies comprise DC-HSDPA, enhanced layer 2 (L2), MIMO, 64QAM, DTX+DRX, E-DPCCH Boosting, UL 16QAM, and HS-SCCH Less Operation. The priority sequences of the technologies in a cell supporting HSPA+ are as follows: Table 4-2 Priority sequences of the technologies in a cell supporting HSPA+ Configuration of MIMO64QAMorD CHSDPASwitch DC-HSDPA Configuration of MIMOor64QAMS witch MIMO Priority Sequence

One or two DC-HSDPA cells may support MIMO, depending on the configuration of the DC-HSDPA cells. Gains also vary according to whether the DC-HSDPA or MIMO technique is used. DC-HSDPA UEs have higher throughput in low-traffic cells, whereas MIMO UEs have higher throughput in high-traffic cells. Therefore, when both DC-HSDPA and MIMO are available, Huawei introduces the DC-HSDPA and MIMO dynamic selection algorithm to determine what technique will carry incoming services according to the current number of HSDPA UEs and the downlink load status of the cell. This algorithm selects the optimal technique for carrying services, thereby achieving higher throughput and improving user experience. For details about DC-HSDPA and MIMO dynamic selection, see the MIMO Feature Parameter Description.
4.2.4 Inter-Frequency DRD for Service Steering

Overview
This section describes the feature WRFD-02040004 Traffic Steering and Load Sharing During RAB Setup. If the UE requests a service in an area covered by multiple frequencies, the RNC selects the cell with the highest service priority for UE access, based on the RAB service type and the service priorities in the cells.
Issue 02 (2012-07-20)
4-6
4 Non-Periodic DRD
The availability of DRD for service steering is specified by the ServiceDiffDrdSwitch parameter through MML command SET UDRD (RNC level switch) or ADD UCELLDRD (cell level switch). Inter frequency DRD for service steering can also be called inter-frequency DRD for traffic steering.
Cell Service Priorities

A cell service priority is a service-specific priority for a cell among cells in the same coverage area. Cell service priorities help achieve traffic absorption in a hierarchical way. The service priorities of a cell are set as follows: 1. Run the ADD USPG command to add a service priority group, which is identified by SpgId. This group includes the service priorities of a cell. 2. Run the ADD UCELLSETUP, MOD UCELLSETUP, or ADD UCELLQUICKSETUP command to assign the SPG identity to the cell, that is, to set the service priorities for the cell.
The SPG to which a cell belongs is independent of DRD for service steering. For example, if the priority of a service is set to 0 in an SPG, this service cannot be established in the cells belonging to the SPG, regardless of whether DRD for service steering is activated or not.
When selecting a target cell for RAB processing, the RNC selects a cell with a high priority, that is, a cell that has a low service priority value. The service priority groups given in the following table are defined on the RNC. Service Service Service Cell SPG Identity Priority of R99 Priority of R99 Priority of RT Service NRT Service HSDPA Service A B 1 2 2 1 1 2 1 0 Service Priority Service Priority of of HSUPA Extension Services Service 1 0 0 0
As shown in the following figure, cell B has a higher service priority for the R99 RT service than cell A. If the UE requests an R99 RT service in cell A, the RNC preferably selects cell B for the UE to access.

Figure 4-2 Example of DRD for service steering
If the requested service is a combined service, the RAB with the highest priority is used when a cell is selected for RAB processing. In addition, the target cell must support all of the necessary services. For details about the priority of a RAB, see the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
The service priority of a DC-HSDPA /DC-HSUPA cell group is determined by the highest service priority of the two cells. The RNC determines the cell service priority based on the uplink and downlink service channels of the UE. The UE selects a cell with a higher service priority to access.

4.2.5 Inter-Frequency DRD for Load Balancing

This section describes the feature WRFD-02040004 Traffic Steering and Load Sharing During RAB Setup.
Issue 02 (2012-07-20)

4 Non-Periodic DRD
If the UE requests a service setup or channel reconfiguration in an area covered by multiple frequencies, the RNC sets up the service on a carrier with a light load to balance out the load among the cells on the different frequencies. Inter-frequency DRD for load balancing also can be called inter-frequency DRD for load sharing.
"Inter-frequency DRD for load balancing" is called "DRD for load balancing" for short in this section. This section describes the procedure for performing DRD for load balancing when DRD for service steering is disabled.
Overview
DRD for load balancing concerns two resources: power and code. The availability of DRD for load balancing is specified by associated parameters as follows:

The availability of power-based DRD for load balancing for DCH services is specified by the LdbDRDSwitchDCH parameter. The availability of power-based DRD for load balancing for HSDPA services is specified by the LdbDRDSwitchHSDPA parameter. The availability of code-based DRD for load balancing is specified by the CodeBalancingDrdSwitch parameter.
It is recommended that only power-based DRD for load balancing or code-based DRD for load balancing be activated. When both are activated, power-based DRD for load balancing takes precedence over code-based DRD for load balancing. Code-based DRD for load balancing is applicable to only R99 services because HSDPA services use reserved codes.
Power-Based DRD for Load Balancing

For Non-DC-HSDPA/ Non-DC-HSUPA Services The following two algorithms are available for power-based load balancing. The algorithm used is specified by the LdbDRDchoice parameter.
Algorithm 1: DRD for load balancing is performed according to the cell measurement values for the DL non-HSDPA power and DL HS-DSCH GBP. The PowLoadDRDOptSwitch parameter has been added to specify whether DRD for load balancing considers the load caused by non-HSPA services and the GBP load caused by HSDPA services. When the PowLoadDRDOptSwitch parameter is set to OFF,
The The
RNC sets up DCH services on a carrier with a light non-HSDPA power load to achieve load balancing among the cells at different frequencies. RNC sets up the HSDPA services on a carrier with a light HS-DSCH GBP load to achieve load balancing among the cells at different frequencies. RNC sets up DCH or HSDPA services on a carrier with a light (non-HSDPA power + HS-DSCH GBP) load to achieve load balancing among the cells at different frequencies.
When the PowLoadDRDOptSwitch parameter is set to ON,

The
Algorithm 2: DRD for load balancing is performed according to the DCH equivalent number of users (ENU) and HSDPA user number.
The The
RNC sets up DCH services on a carrier with a light DCH ENU load to achieve load balancing among the cells at different frequencies. RNC sets up HSDPA services on a carrier with a light HSDPA user load to achieve load balancing among the cells at different frequencies.

The procedure for power-based DRD for load balancing is as follows: 1. The RNC determines the candidate cells. A candidate cell must meet the following conditions: (Note that target cell selection is also based on the resources of the DC-HSDPA cell group when the cell group is involved).

The current cell is also considered as a candidate cell if it supports the requested service.

Thdtotal,cutcell is specified by DlCellTotalThd of the current cell. PGBP,cutcell is the ratio of the HS-DSCH GBP load of the current cell to the total downlink load. ThdH is specified by LdbDRDLoadRemainThdHSDPA.
For

The total equivalent user number corresponding to the total downlink load is specified by DlTotalEqUserNum. b. For HSDPA services (ThdH-ue,cutcell - PH-ue,cutcell) / ThdH-ue,cutcell > ThdH Here,
ThdH-ue,cutcell is specified by MaxHsdpaUserNum of the current cell. PH-ue,cutcell is the total number of HSDPA users of the current cell.
If condition 1 is met, go to step 5. If condition 1 is not met, go to step 4. 4. The RNC selects a target cell for the UE to access. The RNC determines whether any inter-frequency neighboring cell meets the following condition (condition 2). If an inter-frequency neighboring cell meets condition 2, the load margin of this inter-frequency neighboring cell is large and the UE attempts to access this inter-frequency neighboring cell.
For algorithm 1, condition 2 is as follows:

there is any candidate cell that has not been tried, the algorithm goes back to step 2 to try this cell. admission decisions have been made for all the candidate cells:
a. When the service request is an HSPA one, the HSPA request falls back to a DCH one. Then, the algorithm goes back to step 1 to retry admission based on R99 service request. b. When the service request is a DCH one, the RNC initiates an inter-RAT DRD. For DC-HSDPA Services If multiple DC-HSDPA cell groups are available after DRD for technological satisfaction and DRD for service steering, the RNC performs DRD for load balancing. DRD for load balancing for DC-HSDPA services is similar to that of non-DC-HSDPA services. The difference is that the former considers cell groups (not individual cells), calculates their load factors, and finally selects a suitable cell group. After the RNC selects a suitable DC-HSDPA cell group, it determines the primary cell based on the technological satisfaction and service priorities of the two cells. If the two cells have the same technological satisfaction and service priority, the RNC performs the following operations:

If the uplink load balancing switch ULLdbDRDSwitchDcHSDPA is turned off, the RNC selects either of the two cells as the primary cell. If this switch is turned on, the RNC determines the primary cell based on uplink load balancing.
The uplink load balancing mechanism is introduced to prevent RNC from selecting the same cell as the primary cell for multiple UEs requesting DC-HSDPA services. Uplink load balancing between the two cells is performed based on the uplink ENU. The procedure for uplink power-based DRD for load balancing is as follows: 6. If the current cell is not in the target DC-HSDPA cell group, the RNC selects a primary cell with a lighter load.

7. If the current cell is in the target DC-HSDPA cell group, the RNC checks whether the UL load margin of the current cell is higher than the value of ULLdbDRDLoadRemainThdDCHSDPA:

If the margin is higher, the RNC selects the current cell as the primary cell. If the margin is not higher, the RNC calculates the difference between the UL load margin of the target cell and that of the current cell. Then,
If
the difference is greater than the value of ULLdbDRDOffsetDcHSDPA, the RNC selects the target cell as the primary cell. the RNC selects the current cell as the primary cell.
Otherwise,
For DC-HSUPA Services The RNC determines only the primary carrier in the DC-HSUPA DRD procedure. The secondary carrier is automatically determined after the primary carrier is determined. The configuration of the primary DC-HSUPA carrier is the same as that of the primary DC-HSDPA carrier. Therefore, the DRD procedures of DC-HSUPA and DC-HSDPA are the same.
Code-Based DRD for Load Balancing

Code-based DRD for load balancing is similar to power-based DRD for load balancing. The difference is that the RNC considers code resources when selecting a target cell. The following figure shows the procedure for code-based DRD for load balancing.
Issue 02 (2012-07-20)
4-14
4 Non-Periodic DRD
Figure 4-4 Procedure for code-based DRD for load balancing
The procedure is as follows: 1. The RNC determines whether the minimum remaining SF of the current cell is smaller than the minimum SF threshold of DRD for code balancing (CodeBalancingDrdMinSFThd).

If the minimum remaining SF is smaller than this threshold, the RNC requests access to the current cell. If the minimum remaining SF is not smaller than this threshold, the RNC goes to the next step. For handovers, the minimum remaining SF indicates the minimum spreading factor available in a cell. For other services, the minimum remaining SF indicates the minimum spreading factor available in a cell based on the assumption that another handover reservation code (set by the DlHoCeCodeResvSf parameter) is allocated. Calculating the minimum remaining SF considers HSDPA dynamic code allocation. The minimum code allocated to an HSDPA user is considered as occupied and the other allocated dynamic codes are considered as vacant when the minimum remaining SF is calculated. For details about HSDPA dynamic code allocation, see the HSDPA Feature Parameter Description.

2. The RNC determines whether the code load of the current cell is lower than the code occupation rate threshold of DRD for code balancing (CodeBalancingDrdCodeRateThd).

If the code load is lower than this threshold, the service tries to access the current cell. If the code load is higher than or equal to this threshold, the RNC selects the cell as follows:
If
the minimum SF supported by the cell with the lightest code load is the same as that supported by the current cell, and the difference between the code resource occupancies of the two is greater than or equal to the value of DeltaCodeOccupiedRate, the RNC selects the cell with the lightest code load as the target cell. Otherwise, the RNC selects the current cell as the target cell. the minimum SF supported by the cell with the lightest code load is smaller than the minimum SF supported by the current cell, the RNC selects the cell with the lightest code load as the target cell.

If the current cell is configured with any neighboring GSM cell suitable for blind handover and if the "service handover" IE in the RAB assignment signaling assigned by the CN is set to "handover to GSM should be performed" or "handover to GSM should not be performed", then the RNC performs step 2. Otherwise, the service request undergoes preemption and queuing as described in the Load Control Feature Parameter Description. Whether the neighboring cells support blind handovers is specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag. 2. The RNC generates a list of candidate inter-RAT cells that support DRD and fulfill the quality requirement. For details, see chapter 3 "RRC DRD." If the candidate cell list is empty, the service request undergoes preemption and queuing. 3. The RNC selects target GSM cells for the service request according to the blind handover priority. The blind handover priority of the cell is specified by the parameter BlindHOPrio. 4.

4.3 Measurement-Based Non-Periodic DRD

Issue 02 (2012-07-20)
4-18
4 Non-Periodic DRD
4.3.1 Overview
Measurement-based non-periodic DRD (MBDR) is a feature introduced in RAN12.0. It can increase the success rate of DRD, reduce the service drops caused by blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD. This feature involves inter-frequency DRD and inter-RAT DRD. When an RAB is set up, the DRD algorithm uses a blind handover to achieve load balancing and service steering. If the current cell and the DRD target cell cover different areas, the UE DRD may fail. With the MBDR function, the success rate of inter-frequency or inter-RAT DRD can be ensured even if the current cell and the DRD target cell cover different areas. The UE access delay, however, is increased. When an RRC connection is set up and MBDR is implemented, the RNC decides whether to establish the requested service in an inter-frequency or inter-RAT neighboring cell based on the current cell load and the type of service being established. If the RNC decides to establish the service in such a neighboring cell, the RNC sends an inter-frequency or inter-RAT measurement control message to the UE, instructing it to measure the signal quality of the neighboring cells. If the signal quality of a neighboring cell meets the requirements, the RNC establishes the service in that cell. Otherwise, the RNC attempts to establish the service in the current cell. Whether the MBDR algorithm is enabled is specified by the InterFreqActiveType or InterRatActiveType parameters.
The following service types support inter-frequency MBDR:

CS AMR CS PS PS
non-AMR R99 HSPA
Only CS AMR services support inter-RAT MBDR.
Inter-frequency DRD for MBDR does not support inter-frequency DRD for device type steering, inter-frequency DRD for technological satisfaction, service steering, or load balancing. If MBDR is activated for a specific service, the blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD for this service automatically becomes ineffective. MBDR does not support channel fallback, including HSUPA channel fallback and HSDPA channel fallback. Before activating MBDR, configure all intra-frequency cells served by a NodeB within an uplink resource group and a downlink resource group, respectively. If these cells are not within the same uplink or downlink resource group, HSUPA services may fail to be set up when multiple links are available. As a result, service setup fails because of channel fallback failure.
4.3.2 MBDR Procedure

Overview
The procedure for the inter-frequency MBDR algorithm is as follows: 1. After an RRC connection setup, the MBDR algorithm triggers the measurement of an inter-frequency MBDR cell if the corresponding MBDR algorithm switch is turned on and the current cell load exceeds the MBDR congestion decision threshold. 2. The RNC sends the UE an inter-frequency measurement control message, instructing the UE to measure the signal quality of the inter-frequency MBDR neighboring cells. If the signal quality of the inter-frequency MBDR cell meets the requirements, the RNC establishes services in this cell. If several inter-frequency MBDR cells qualify, the RNC prioritizes these cells and establishes services in the cell with the highest priority based on the value of the MBDRPrio parameter.
Issue 02 (2012-07-20)
4-19
4 Non-Periodic DRD
3. If services are established successfully, the RAB is set up successfully. Otherwise, the RNC attempts to establish services in the cell with the second highest priority.
MBDR neighboring cells are specified by the MBDRFlag parameter.
The procedure for the inter-RAT MBDR algorithm is similar to that for the inter-frequency MBDR algorithm. When the service type is CS AMR and the inter-frequency MBDR algorithm switch and inter-RAT MBDR algorithm switch are enabled, the UE selects the neighboring cell whose measurement report is reported first. If the first received measurement report contains the inter-frequency cell information, the UE selects the inter-frequency cell as the target cell. If the first received measurement report contains inter-RAT cell information, the UE selects the inter-RAT cell as the target cell.
Triggering MBDR
After an RRC connection setup, if the MBDR algorithm is enabled for the service type to which this RAB belongs, the RNC triggers MBDR when either of the following conditions is met:
The uplink admission control switch NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch is not set to ALGORITHM_OFF, and the cell is in the MBDR congestion state. That is: Uplink admission threshold MBDR congestion decision threshold Current cell load factor Uplink admission threshold The downlink admission control switch NBMDlCacAlgoSelSwitch is not set to ALGORITHM_OFF, and the cell is in the MBDR congestion state. That is: Downlink admission threshold MBDR congestion decision threshold Current cell load factor Downlink admission threshold The uplink admission threshold is specified by the UlNonCtrlThdForAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, or UlNonCtrlThdForOther parameter. The downlink admission threshold is specified by the DlConvAMRThd, DlConvNonAMRThd, or DlOtherThd parameter. The MBDR congestion decision threshold is specified by the InterFreqUlMbdrTrigThreshold, InterFreqDlMbdrTrigThreshold, InterRatUlMbdrTrigThreshold, or InterRatDlMbdrTrigThreshold parameter. The current cell load factor indicates the ratio of the used cell capacity to the total cell capacity. The current cell load factor for both the uplink and downlink is calculated by the RNC according to the cell load measurement results reported by NodeB. For details, see the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
In the above two formulas:
In the case of inter-RAT MBDR, the RNC triggers MBDR for only a certain percentage of UEs that meet the trigger conditions. This percentage is specified by the UserPercentage parameter.
MBDR Target Cell Selection

After MBDR is triggered, the RNC starts target cell selection. If the current cell has only one MBDR neighboring cell, the RNC sends the UE a measurement request, instructing the UE to measure the signal quality of the neighboring cell. If the signal quality meets the requirements, the RNC establishes services in that cell. If service establishment fails, the RNC establishes services in the current cell. If the current cell has more than one MBDR neighboring cell, the following procedure is triggered: 1. The RNC sends the UE a measurement request, instructing the UE to measure the signal quality of all the MBDR neighboring cells.
Issue 02 (2012-07-20)
4-20
4 Non-Periodic DRD
2. According to the measurement results, the RNC selects the neighboring cells that meet the requirements as target cells. Note that a neighboring cell in the MBDR congestion state cannot be selected as a target cell.
If If
only one neighboring cell meets the requirements, the RNC establishes services in this neighboring cell. more than one neighboring cell meets the requirements, the RNC prioritizes these cells based on the value of the MBDRPrio parameter and then establishes services in the cell with the highest priority. If these cells have the same priority, the RNC selects one of them with highest Ec/No or largest RSCP (based on the reported measurement control items) and then establishes services in it. The smaller value of MBDRPrio, the higher its priority.
3. The RNC attempts to set up a service in a neighboring cell with the highest service priority. If the service fails to be set up, the RNC will attempt to set up the service in other neighboring cells in descending order of priorities until the service is set up successfully or the number of service setup attempts exceeds the value specified by the MaxAttNum parameter. If the service fails to be set up in all neighboring cells, the RNC sets up the service in the current cell. If the service fails to be set up in the current cell, service setup fails. If the current service is HSPA service, the HSPA channel cannot be switched to a DCH for service setup. As a result, service setup fails.
Measurement Control Items

After MBDR is triggered, the RNC sends the UE a measurement control message, instructing the UE to measure the signal quality of the target cell. The UE reports the measurement results to the RNC. The parameters associated with measurement control items, for example, the measurement report mode and trigger threshold, can be configured by running the ADD UCELLMBDRINTERFREQ or ADD UCELLMBDRINTERRAT command. In the case of inter-frequency MBDR, you can:
Set the InterFreqReportMode parameter to PERIODICAL_REPORTING or EVENT_TRIGGER.

With
the setting PERIODICAL_REPORTING, the UE reports measurement results to the RNC at an interval specified by PrdReportInterval. Then, the RNC determines whether the signal quality of this inter-frequency cell meets the requirements according to the measurement results and the trigger conditions. the setting EVENT_TRIGGER, the UE sends the RNC a measurement report (indicating that the signal quality of the inter-frequency cell meets the inter-frequency handover requirements) when the signal quality of the inter-frequency cell is higher than the trigger threshold for the period specified by TrigTime2C. the setting Ec/No, the Ec/No value of the target cell must reach the inter-frequency handover trigger threshold, which is specified by the HOThdEcN0 parameter. the setting RSCP, the RSCP value of the target cell must reach the inter-frequency handover trigger threshold, which is specified by the HOThdRscp parameter. the setting BOTH, both the Ec/No and RSCP values of the target cell must reach the corresponding inter-frequency handover trigger threshold.
Note: The InterFreqMeasQuantity parameter cannot be set to BOTH if the InterFreqReportMode parameter is set to EVENT_TRIGGER.
With
Set the InterFreqMeasQuantity parameter to Ec/No, RSCP, or BOTH.

With With With
In the case of inter-RAT MBDR, you can set the InterRatReportMode parameter to PERIODICAL_REPORTING or EVENT_TRIGGER.
With the setting PERIODICAL_REPORTING, the UE reports measurement results to the RNC at an interval specified by InterRATPeriodReportInterval. Then, the RNC compares the measurement

results with InterRATHOThd to determine whether the signal quality of this inter-RAT cell meets the requirements.
With the setting EVENT_TRIGGER, the UE sends the RNC a measurement report (indicating that the signal quality of the inter-RAT cell meets the inter-RAT handover requirements) when the signal quality of the inter-RAT cell is higher than the trigger threshold for the period specified by TrigTime3C.
The measurement mechanism for inter-frequency or inter-RAT MBDR is the same as that for handover. For details about the measurement mechanism, see the Handover Feature Parameter Description.

5 Periodic DRD
5.1 Overview
Periodic DRD is used to select a suitable cell according to device type priority, HSPA/HSPA+ technological satisfaction, and service priority. It can be performed when the RNC determines that the UE can be served by a better HSPA/HSPA+ technology or when a neighboring cell has a higher device type priority or service priority than the current cell. After periodic DRD is triggered, it can be performed in either of the following ways:
Blind-handover-based periodic DRD: This mainly applies to the inter-frequency co-coverage scenario. It selects the target cell that supports blind handovers and does not consider the signal quality of the target cell. Measurement-based periodic DRD: This applies to both the inter-frequency different-coverage and the inter-frequency co-coverage scenarios. It selects the target cell according to the signal measurement results. Note that only measurement-based periodic DRD is based on cell service priority.
Blind-handover-based periodic DRD and measurement-based periodic DRD cannot work concurrently. When the latter is enabled, the former is automatically disabled.
5.1.1 Switches for Periodic DRD

The DR_RAB_SING_DRD_SWITCH and DR_RAB_COMB_DRD_SWITCH sub-parameters of the DrSwitch parameter determine whether to enable RAB DRD for a single service and a combined service, respectively. The BasedOnMeasHRetryDRDSwitch parameter further determines whether to enable blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD, blind-handover-based periodic DRD, or measurement-based periodic DRD. When the sub-parameter DR_RAB_SING_DRD_SWITCH or DR_RAB_COMB_DRD_SWITCH is set to ON, the functions of the BasedOnMeasHRetryDRDSwitch parameter are as follows:
When the BasedOnMeasHRetryDRDSwitch parameter is set to ON:

Measurement-based
periodic DRD is enabled. periodic DRD is disabled. non-periodic DRD is controlled by the BlindDrdExceptHRetrySwitch
Blind-handover-based Blind-handover-based
parameter.
When the BasedOnMeasHRetryDRDSwitch parameter is set to OFF:

Measurement-based
periodic DRD is disabled. periodic DRD is enabled if the ChannelRetryTimerLen parameter is not set
Blind-handover-based
to 0.
The
parameter BlindDrdExceptHRetrySwitch is invaild.
5.1.2 Conditions of Periodic DRD

1. HSPA/HSPA+ technology satisfaction Periodic DRD is mainly triggered by the HSPA/HSPA+ retry. An HSPA/HSPA+ retry can be performed after a RAB setup or when the bearer scheme of a service is changed, for example, after RAB modification, a soft handover, hard handover, or cell change. After the RAB is set up or the bearer scheme of a service is changed, the RNC determines whether the UE can be served by a better HSPA/HSPA+ technology by considering the technological satisfaction. If a better HSPA/HSPA+ technology can be used, the HSPA/HSPA+ retry is performed periodically and
Issue 02 (2012-07-20)
5-1
5 Periodic DRD
consequently periodic DRD is triggered. In this way, a suitable cell can be selected to serve the UE with a better HSPA/HSPA+ technology. and the RNC can also try to make the UE be served a better HSPA/HSPA+ technology in current cell, which is not configured by some reason except for the capability of UE or cell when traffic is set up or reconfigured. In different situations, the HSPA/HSPA+ technologies that trigger HSPA/HSPA+ retry are different. The conditions under which an HSPA/HSPA+ technology can trigger HSPA/HSPA+ retry are as follows:
The HSPA+ technology is selected through RetryCapability parameter.
This condition does not apply to HSPA technologies.
The HSPA/HSPA+ technology is supported by periodic DRD. Note that different types of periodic DRD support different HSPA/HSPA+ technologies.
Blind-handover-based Measurement-based
periodic DRD supports the following HSPA/HSPA+ technologies: HSUPA, HSDPA, 64QAM, MIMO, DC-HSUPA, DC-HSDPA, DC-HSDPA+MIMO, and E-DPCCH Boosting. periodic DRD supports the following HSPA/HSPA+ technologies: HSDPA, HSUPA, uplink enhanced L2, uplink 16QAM, downlink enhanced L2, CPC, 64QAM, DC-HSDPA, MIMO, DC-HSDPA+MIMO, and E-DPCCH Boosting.
2. Device type priority If the parameter DPGDRDSwitch is set to ON, periodic DRD can also be triggered when a neighboring cell has a higher device type priority than the current cell, according to device type steering. If the parameter DPGDRDSwitch is set to OFF, device type priority is not considered during periodic DRD procedure. For details about the device type priority of the cell, see the Intelligent Inter-Carrier Layered Management on UEs and Data Cards Feature Parameter Description. 3. Service priority Measurement-based periodic DRD can also be triggered when a neighboring cell has a higher service priority than the current cell, according to service steering.
Measurement-based periodic DRD considers HSPA/HSPA+ technology satisfaction, device type priority, and service priority. Blind-handover-based periodic DRD considers only HSPA/HSPA+ technology satisfaction and device type priority.
Periodic DRD selects the target cell based on these priorities. The priority sequence is the same as that for blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD. For details, see section 4.2.1 "Inter-Frequency DRD."
5.2 Periodic DRD Procedure

5.2.1 Blind-Handover-based Periodic DRD
Blind-handover-based periodic DRD applies to the inter-frequency co-coverage scenarios. It is performed at regular intervals, which is called DRD period. The DRD period is specified by the ChannelRetryTimerLen parameter. If the ChannelRetryTimerLen parameter is set to 0, Blind-handover-based periodic DRD is disabled. Figure 5-1 shows the procedure for blind-handover-based periodic DRD.
Issue 02 (2012-07-20)
5-2
5 Periodic DRD
Figure 5-1 Procedure for blind-handover-based periodic DRD
The procedure for blind-handover-based periodic DRD is as follows: 1. The RNC decides whether there are candidate cells that the UE can attempt to access. The candidate cells are selected from the co-coverage neighboring cells of the current best cell. A candidate cell must meet the following conditions:
The The The
candidate cell supports blind handover. Whether the neighboring cells support blind handovers is specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag. frequency of the cell is in the band supported by the UE. cell supports the requested service.
When
HRetryTargCellLoadStusInd is disabled, the cell is not overloaded; when HRetryTargCellLoadStusInd is enabled, the cell is not in the LDR state and is not overloaded.
When the LDR switch is turned on and the basic congestion of a cell is caused by insufficient resources, the cell enters the LDR state. For details, see section 8.1 "Basic Congestion Triggering" in the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
The
technological satisfaction or device type priority of the cell is higher than that of the current cell.
If there are no such candidate target cells, blind-handover-based periodic DRD fails, and the RNC waits for the next DRD period. If there are any candidate target cells, the following steps are performed. 2. The RNC prioritizes the candidate target cells according to device type, technological satisfaction, service priority and load. The sorting method is the same as that for Blind-Handover-Based Non-Periodic DRD. For details, see section 4.2 "Blind-Handover-Based Non-Periodic DRD." 3. The RNC attempts to access the target cell with the highest specifications for UE access. 4. The CAC algorithm makes an admission decision based on the status of the target cell.
If the admission attempt is successful, the RNC accepts the service request.
Issue 02 (2012-07-20)
5-3
5 Periodic DRD
If the admission attempt fails, the RNC removes the cell from the list of candidate cells and then checks whether all candidate cells have been tried.
If If
there are any candidate cells where no admission decision has been made, the algorithm goes back to step 3. none of the candidate cells meet the requirements, blind-handover-based periodic DRD fails and the RNC waits for the next DRD period.
5.2.2 Measurement-Based Periodic DRD

In a multi-band network, cells that use different frequency bands have different coverage areas. When a UE needs to perform an inter-frequency handover in a multi-band network, it normally does not perform a blind handover, as the success rate of the blind handover is relatively low. Instead, the UE performs a handover decision according to the signal of each inter-frequency cell. Measurement-based periodic DRD is introduced to select a signal-qualified cell for the UE to access. Measurement-based periodic DRD applies to both the inter-frequency same-coverage and the inter-frequency different-coverage scenarios and can increase the DRD success rate of both. Figure 5-2 shows the procedure for measurement-based periodic DRD. Figure 5-2 Procedure for measurement-based periodic DRD
The procedure for measurement-based periodic DRD is as follows: 1. Based on technological satisfaction and cell service priority, the RNC decides whether there are candidate cells that the UE can attempt to access. The candidate cells are selected from the best cell and its neighboring cells. A candidate cell must meet the following conditions:
The
frequency of the cell is in the band supported by the UE.

5 Periodic DRD
The The The

technological satisfaction of the cell is higher than that of the current cell, or the service priority of the cell is higher than or equal to that of the current cell, or the device type priority of the cell is higher than that of current cell.
The current cell is also considered as a candidate when the technological satisfaction is taken into consideration.
For details about the technological satisfaction and service priority, see section 4.2 "Blind-Handover-Based Non-Periodic DRD." For details about the device type priority of the cell, see the Intelligent Inter-Carrier Layered Management on UEs and Data Cards Feature Parameter Description. If there are any candidate target cells, the following steps are performed. Otherwise, the measurement-based periodic DRD fails. 2. The RNC starts the timer for periodic DRD. The length of the timer is specified by the HRetryTimerLength parameter.
If
there is only one candidate target cell and it is the current cell, the UE retries higher HSPA+ technologies in the current cell when the timer expires. the RNC issues a measurement control message, requesting the UE to measure the signal quality of all candidate cells.
Otherwise,
3. The UE measures the RSCP and Ec/No of the candidate target cells and periodically reports the measurement results to the RNC. The reporting period is specified by the PrdReportInterval parameter. 4. Based on the received measurement results, the RNC selects the candidate target cells. A candidate target cell must meet the following requirements:
When
HRetryTargCellLoadStusInd is disabled, the cell is not overloaded; when HRetryTargCellLoadStusInd is enabled, the cell is not in the LDR state and is not overloaded.
When the LDR switch is turned on and the basic congestion of a cell is caused by insufficient resources, the cell enters the LDR state. For details, see section 8.1 "Basic Congestion Triggering" in the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
The The
measured RSCP is higher than the RSCP threshold specified by the TargetFreqThdRscp parameter. measured Ec/No is higher than the Ec/No threshold specified by the TargetFreqThdEcN0 parameter.
If there are not candidate target cells, measurement-based periodic DRD fails. In such a case, the RNC waits for the DRD timer to expire. If there are any candidate target cells, the following steps are performed. 5. The RNC prioritizes the candidate target cells according to device type, technological satisfaction, and service priority. 6. The RNC attempts to access the target cell with the highest specifications for UE access. 7. The CAC algorithm makes an admission decision based on the status of the candidate target cell.

If the admission attempt is successful, the RNC accepts the service request. If the admission attempt fails, the RNC removes the cell from the list of candidate cells and then checks whether all candidate cells have been tried.
If
there are any candidate cells where no admission decision has been made, the algorithm goes back to step 6.

5 Periodic DRD
If
none of the candidate target cells meets the requirements, measurement-based periodic DRD fails and the RNC waits for the DRD timer to expire.
If the measurement or retry fails during measurement-based periodic DRD, a failure penalty timer starts when the DRD timer expires. During the penalty time, the preceding procedure cannot be performed and the UE can attempt to access only the current cell. When the failure penalty timer expires, the RNC retries the preceding procedure on one candidate cell each time until measurement-based periodic DRD succeeds or there are no more available candidate cells. The measurement-based periodic DRD procedure ends. The length of the penalty timer is specified by multiplying the value of the HRetryTimerLength parameter by the value of the DrdFaiPenaltyPeriodNum parameter.

3. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UFRCCHLTYPEPARA. In this step, set DL BE traffic threshold on HSDPA to an appropriate value. 4. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD UCELLCAC. In this step, set Maximum HSDPA user number of cell 1 to 0. 5. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH. In this step, set HSDPA_UU_ADCTRL(HSDPA UU Load Admission Control Algorithm) to Cell CAC algorithm switch. 6. Enable the UE in cell 1 to originate a PS FTP download service. The value of Maximum HSDPA user number in cell 1 is 0; therefore, the UE is handed over to cell 2 by using directed retry. The Uu message tracing or the UE CDT tracing shows that the RRC_RB_RECFG/RRC_RB_SETUP message is sent to the UE in cell 1 and the RRC_RB_RECFG_CMP/RRC_RB_SETUP_CMP message is sent to the RNC in cell 2.
This feature also supports the following scenario: If a UE in an R99 cell (cell 1) originates HSDPA streaming services or BE services, the UE can camp on an HSDPA cell (cell 2) through directed retry. In this scenario, cell 2 is the inter-frequency neighboring cell for blind handover of cell 1 and admission to cell 2 is allowed.

Activation Check
1. Congestion may occur when a large number of UEs access a cell. If a handover based on inter-frequency measurements is used to achieve load reshuffling (LDR), you can view the inter-frequency measurement control information on the Uu interface. After a UE sends the inter-frequency measurement report, the UE will be handed over to another cell.
1. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD UCELLMBDRINTERFREQ (CME single configuration: UMTS Cell Configuration Express > Cell Parameters > Cell Oriented Inter-frequency Measurement Parameters for MBDR Algorithm; CME batch modification center: Modifying UMTS Cell Parameters in Batches) to clear the MBDR Switch check box.

InterRATHOT BSC6 ADD WRFD-02 Measuremen Meaning:Quality requirement for the inter-RAT hd 900 UCELLMB 0402 t Based cell during an inter-RAT handover with CS DRINTERR Direct Retry domain services. AT This parameter is used to set measurement MOD control on the event 3C. The event 3C is UCELLMB triggered when the signal quality of the target DRINTERR frequency is above this threshold. Note that the AT value 0 indicates that the physical value is smaller than -110 dBm. If the periodical report mode is used, the inter-RAT handover decision thresholds are used for the assessment of inter-RAT coverage handover, namely as Tother_RAT in the following formulas. The inter-RAT handover decision thresholds are the absolute thresholds (RSSI) of inter-RAT cell quality for the inter-RAT handover decision. If the quality of another RAT in the inter-RAT measurement report meets the following condition: Mother_RAT + CIO >= Tother_RAT + H/2 the system starts the trigger timer and implements the handover decision after timeout. If the quality of the preceding RAT meets the following condition before timeout: Mother_RAT + CIO < Tother_RAT - H/2 The system stops the timer, and the RNC waits for another inter-RAT measurement report. In which, Mother_RAT indicates the measurement result of the GSM RSSI; Tother_RAT indicates the inter-RAT handover decision threshold; Cell Individual Offset (CIO) indicates the offset of the inter-RAT cell; H represents the hysteresis. Hysteresis can reduce wrong decisions caused by signal jitters.

Description The sensitivity of a GSM mobile phone is -102 dBm, so the outdoor reception level should not be lower than -90 dBm, considering a margin of 3 dB for compensation of fast fading, 5 dB for compensation of slow fading, 2 dB for compensation of interference noise, and 2 dB for compensation of ambient noise. The values of inter-RAT handover decision thresholds vary with the handover policy. To have UEs hand over only to the GSM cells with high quality, you can set the inter-RAT handover decision threshold to a comparatively high value, for example -85 dBm.

InterRATPeri BSC6 ADD WRFD-02 Inter-RAT Meaning:Interval that the UE reports inter-RAT odReportInte 900 UCELLMB 0303 Handover measurement results to the RNC. rval DRINTERR Based on WRFD-02 Coverage This parameter specifies the interval that the AT 0309 UE sends inter-RAT measurement results to MOD Inter-RAT the RNC in periodical reporting mode. It is not UCELLMB WRFD-02 Handover recommended that this parameter is set to DRINTERR 0402 Based on DL NON_PERIODIC_REPORT since the UE AT QoS behavior may be unknown. Measuremen The GSM RSSI measurement period is 480 t Based ms. Therefore, the inter-RAT periodical Direct Retry reporting interval should be longer than 480 ms. If the periodical reporting interval is excessively high, the handover decision time will be long, and handovers will be slow. The adjustment should be made according to the configured GSM RSSI measurement compressed mode sequence. According to the current configured GSM RSSI measurement compressed mode sequence, the RSSI measurement of eight GSM cells can be finished in 480 ms. Therefore, the RSSI measurement of 16 GSM cells can be finished in 1000 ms. According to 3GPP specifications, the number of inter-RAT neighboring cells should not exceed 32. Therefore, the parameter value can be set to 2000 ms if the

The emulation results show that setting this interval can effectively reduce the average number of handovers and the number of incorrect handovers, preventing unnecessary handovers. In addition, the UE at different rates may react differently to the same interval. For the fast-moving UE, the call drop rate is more sensitive to this interval, whereas, for the slow-moving UE, the call drop rate is less sensitive to this interval. Therefore, for the cell with most of the fast-moving UEs, this parameter can be set to a smaller value,

The value of this parameter is associated with the slow fading. If this parameter is set to a greater value, the probability of incorrect handover decision becomes low; however, the handover algorithm becomes slow in responding to signal change. If this parameter Measuremen is set to a smaller value, the handover t Based algorithm becomes fast in responding to signal Direct Retry change; however, the probability of incorrect decision becomes high. The emulation result shows that the hysteresis setting can effectively reduce the average number of handovers and the number of incorrect handovers, thus preventing unnecessary handovers. The emulation result also shows that the UE at different data rates may react differently to the delay for triggering the event. For the fast-moving UE, the call drop rate is more sensitive to the delay, whereas, for the slow-moving UE, the call drop rate is less sensitive to the delay. This can also reduce ping-pong handovers and incorrect handovers. Therefore, for the cell where most UEs are in fast movement, this parameter can be set to a smaller value, whereas for the cell where most UEs are in slow movement, this parameter can be set to a greater value. The value of this parameter can be adjusted according to the actual network statistics. The inter-frequency measurement reporting

UlNonCtrlTh BSC6 ADD WRFD-02 Admission dForAMR 900 UCELLCA 0101 Control C MOD UCELLCA C
Meaning:1. The percentage of the conversational AMR service threshold to the 100% uplink load. The parameter is used for controlling the AMR service admission. That is, when an AMR service is accessing, the BSC6900 evaluates the measurement value of the uplink load after the service is accessed. If the UL load of a cell is higher than this threshold after the access of an AMR speech service, this service will be rejected. If the UL load of a cell will not be higher than this threshold, this service will be admitted. The UL load factor thresholds include parameters of [UL threshold of Conv AMR service], [UL threshold of Conv non_AMR service], [UL handover access threshold] and [UL threshold of other services]. The four parameters can be used to limit the proportion between the conversational service, handover user and other services in a specific cell, and to guarantee the access priority of the conversational AMR service. If the value is too high the system load after admission may be over large, which impacts system stability and leads to system congestion. If the value is too low, the possibility of user rejects may increase, resulting in waste in idle resources. 2. When the Uplink CAC algorithm switch is set to ALGORITHM_FOURTH, the Recommended Value should be changed to 83. GUI Value Range:0~100
