Directed Retry Decision 2 Overview of DRD

2-1

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 RRC DRD
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.
WCDMA RAN

3-2

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.
If 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
WCDMA RAN

3-3

_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. The neighboring cell must be in the same RNC as that
of the serving cell.
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
is the cached CPICH Ec/N0 value included in the RACH measurement report.
Note that this value is for the current cell.
DRD_EcNOnbcell 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.
If 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.
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.

Directed Retry Decision 4 Non-Periodic DRD

4-1

4 Non-Periodic DRD
This section covers the following features:
WRFD-02040001 Intra System Direct Retry
WRFD-02040002 Inter System Direct Retry
WRFD-01061112 HSDPA DRD
WRFD-020402 Measurement-based Direct Retry
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."
WCDMA RAN

For detailed information about inter-RAT DRD, see section 4.2.6 "Inter-RAT 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
satisfaction
DRD for HSPA+ technological satisfaction is controlled by the parameter
HSPAPlusSatisSwitch.
DRD for HSPA+ technological satisfaction is applicable only to UEs
requesting HSPA+ services.
DRD for service steering DRD for service steering is controlled by the parameter
ServiceDiffDrdSwitch
DRD for load balancing 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.
WCDMA RAN

4-3

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 must be in the same RNC as that of the current cell.
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."
WCDMA RAN

4-4

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 there is any candidate cell that has not been tried, the algorithm goes back to step 2 to try this cell.
If 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:

Operation

One or two DC-HSDPA cells may support MIMO, depending on the configuration of the DC-HSDPA cells.
Cell throughput 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.
WCDMA RAN

4-7

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.
Cell SPG
Identity

B 2 1 2 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.
For UEs whose uplink and downlink services are both carried on HSPA channels:
When ReservedSwitch1: RESERVED_SWITCH_1_BIT16 of the SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH
command is set to 1, the RNC first considers the HSDPA service priority of candidate cells when
determining the cell service priority. If the HSDPA service priority of candidate cells is the same, the
RNC considers the HSUPA service priority.
command is set to 0, the RNC first considers the HSUPA service priority of candidate cells when
determining the cell service priority. If the HSUPA service priority of candidate cells is the same, the
RNC considers the HSDPA service priority.
For UEs whose either uplink or downlink services (but not both) are carried on HSPA channels:
command is set to 1, the RNC only considers the HSUPA or HSDPA service priority (but not both)
when determining the cell service priority.
command is set to 0, the RNC first considers the HSUPA or HSDPA service priority (but not both)
when determining the cell service priority. If the HSUPA or HSDPA service priority of candidate cells is
the same, the RNC considers the R99 service priority. Among R99 services, RT services and NRT
services are assigned different priorities.
4.2.5 Inter-Frequency DRD for Load Balancing
This section describes the feature WRFD-02040004 Traffic Steering and Load Sharing During RAB
Setup.
WCDMA RAN

4-9

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 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.
The RNC sets up the HSDPA services on a carrier with a light HS-DSCH GBP load to achieve load
When the PowLoadDRDOptSwitch parameter is set to ON,
The 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.
Algorithm 2: DRD for load balancing is performed according to the DCH equivalent number of users
(ENU) and HSDPA user number.
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.
The RNC sets up HSDPA services on a carrier with a light HSDPA user load to achieve load

Figure 4-3 shows the procedure for power-based DRD for load balancing.
Figure 4-3 Procedure for power-based DRD for load balancing

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 candidate cell supports blind handover. Whether the neighboring cells support blind handovers is
specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag.
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. If the current cell is a candidate cell, the RNC proceeds to step 3. Otherwise, the RNC selects the cell
with lightest load from the candidate cell list and goes to step 5.
WCDMA RAN

4-11

3. The RNC determines whether the current cell meets the following condition (condition 1). If the
current cell meets condition 1, the load margin of the current cell is large and the UE accesses the
current cell without attempting to access an inter-frequency neighboring cell.
For algorithm 1, condition 1 is as follows:
a. For DCH services
(ThdAMR,cutcell - Pnon-H,cutcell) > Thdnon-H
(Thdtotal,cutcell - Pnon-H,cutcell - PGBP,cutcell) > Thdnon-H
Here,
ThdAMR,cutcell is specified by DlConvAMRThd of the current cell.
Pnon-H,cutcell is the ratio of the non-HSDPA power load of the current cell to the total downlink load.
Thdnon-H is specified by LdbDRDLoadRemainThdDCH.
Thd
total.cutcell
is the total power load threshold DlCellTotalThd.
b. For HSDPA services
(Thdtotal,cutcell - PGBP,cutcell) > ThdH
(Thdtotal,cutcell - Pnon-H,cutcell - PGBP,cutcell) > ThdH
Here,
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.
a. For DCH services
(ThdAMR,cutcell - PD-enu,cutcell) > Thdnon-H
Here, PD-enu,cutcell is the ratio of the DCH ENU load of the current cell to the total downlink ENU load.
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.

ThdD,loadoffset is specified by LdbDRDOffsetDCH.
Pload,cutcell is the ratio of the sum of the non-HSDPA power and the HS-DSCH GBP load of the current
cell to the total downlink load. The HS-DSCH GBP load of the current cell is the sum of the HSDPA
service GBPs in the current cell. GBP for a HSDPA service is the minimum power required to ensure
the GBR on HS-DSCH. If there is no data transmitting for a HSDPA service, the GBP for this HSDPA
service is zero.
Thdtotal,nbcell is specified by DlCellTotalThd of the neighboring cell.
Pload,nbcell is the ratio of the sum of the non-HSDPA power and the GBP load of the neighboring cell to
the total downlink load.
Thdtotal,loadoffset is specified by LdbDRDTotalPwrProThd.

Here, PD-enu,nbcell is the ratio of the DCH ENU load of the neighboring cell to the total downlink ENU
load.
For HSDPA services

PH-ue,nbcell is the total number of HSDPA users of the neighboring cell.
Then, the RNC selects the target cell as follows:
If there is only one inter-frequency neighboring cell that meets condition 2, the RNC selects this cell as
the target cell. If there are multiple such cells:

WCDMA RAN

4-13

a. If algorithm 1 is used,
When the PowLoadDRDOptSwitch parameter is set to OFF, the RNC selects the cell with the
lightest non-HSDPA load as the target cell.
When the PowLoadDRDOptSwitch parameter is set to ON, the RNC sets up DCH services on a
carrier with a light (non-HSDPA power + HS-DSCH GBP) load to achieve load balancing among the
cells at different frequencies.
b. If algorithm 2 is used, the RNC selects the cell with the lightest DCH ENU load as the target cell.
For HSDPA services
a. If algorithm 1 is used,
When the PowLoadDRDOptSwitch parameter is set to OFF, the RNC selects the cell with the
lightest load of HS-DSCH required power as the target cell.
When the PowLoadDRDOptSwitch parameter is set to ON, the RNC sets up 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.
b. If algorithm 2 is used, the RNC selects the cell with the lightest HSDPA user load as the target
cell.
If there no cell meets condition 2, the RNC selects the current cell as the target cell.
5. 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.
If the admission attempt fails, the RNC checks whether admission decisions have been made for all
the candidate inter-frequency neighboring cells.
If there is any candidate cell that has not been tried, the algorithm goes back to step 2 to try this cell.
If 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.
WCDMA RAN

4-14

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.
Otherwise, the RNC selects the current cell as the primary cell.
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.
WCDMA RAN

4-15

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.
WCDMA RAN

4-16

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.
If 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.
4.2.6 Inter-RAT DRD
Overview
When all admission attempts for inter-frequency DRD during RAB processing fail, the RNC determines
whether to initiate an inter-RAT DRD.
The DR_INTER_RAT_DRD_SWITCH sub-parameter of the DrSwitch parameter determines whether
RRC DRD is enabled.
Procedure
The following figure shows the inter-RAT DRD procedure.
Figure 4-5 Inter-RAT DRD procedure

The inter-RAT DRD procedure is as follows:
WCDMA RAN

4-17

1. 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. If all admission attempts fail or the number of inter-RAT handover retries exceeds the value of
DRMaxGSMNum, the service request undergoes preemption and queuing.

The inter-RAT DRD is not applicable to RABs of combined services, R99 PS services, and HSPA services.
Figure 4-6 shows the inter-RAT DRD signaling procedure.

The CN stops the RAB assignment procedure.
3. The RNC sends the CN a Relocation Required message, containing the request cause of "directed
retry" and the information about the target GSM cell for the handover. Then, the RNC performs the
Relocation procedure.
4.3 Measurement-Based Non-Periodic DRD
This section describes the feature WRFD-020402 measurement-based non-periodic DRD, or
measurement-based direct retry (MBDR).
WCDMA RAN

4-19

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 non-AMR
PS R99
PS 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.
WCDMA RAN

4-20

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
In the above two formulas:
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 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.
WCDMA RAN

4-21

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 only one neighboring cell meets the requirements, the RNC establishes services in this neighboring
cell.
If 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.
With 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.
Set the InterFreqMeasQuantity parameter to Ec/No, RSCP, or BOTH.
With 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.
With 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.
With 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.
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.

Directed Retry Decision 5 Periodic DRD

5-1

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.
There is no periodical DRD for single AMR service. When DraSwitch=DRA_CSPS_NO_PERIOD_RETRY_SWITCH is
turned on, there is no peridocial DRD for CS+PS service too.
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.
Blind-handover-based periodic DRD is disabled.
Blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD is controlled by the BlindDrdExceptHRetrySwitch
parameter.
When the BasedOnMeasHRetryDRDSwitch parameter is set to OFF:
Measurement-based periodic DRD is disabled.
Blind-handover-based periodic DRD is enabled if the ChannelRetryTimerLen parameter is not set
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.
WCDMA RAN

5-2

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
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 periodic DRD supports the following HSPA/HSPA+ technologies: HSUPA,
HSDPA, 64QAM, MIMO, DC-HSUPA, DC-HSDPA, DC-HSDPA+MIMO, and E-DPCCH Boosting.
Measurement-based 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.
WCDMA RAN

5-3

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 candidate cell supports blind handover. Whether the neighboring cells support blind handovers is
specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag.
The frequency of the cell is in the band supported by the UE.
The 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
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.
WCDMA RAN

5-4

If there are any candidate cells where no admission decision has been made, the algorithm goes
back to step 3.
If 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.
WCDMA RAN

5-5

The cell supports the requested service.
The DrdOrLdrFlag parameter of the cell is set to True, indicating that the cell can be measured.
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.
Otherwise, the RNC issues a measurement control message, requesting the UE to measure the
signal quality of all candidate cells.
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
The measured RSCP is higher than the RSCP threshold specified by the TargetFreqThdRscp
parameter.
The 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 there are any candidate cells where no admission decision has been made, the algorithm goes
back to step 6.
WCDMA RAN
Directed Retry Decision 6 DRD Rollback

6-6

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.

6 DRD Rollback
During a DRD, the RNC selects a candidate target cell and performs a CAC procedure. If the CAC
procedure is successful, the RNC initiates a signaling procedure, such as RRC connection setup, RL
setup, or radio bearer (RB) setup.
If the signaling procedure fails, the RNC performs a DRD rollback, in which the RNC selects another
candidate target cell for DRD. If the RNC does not perform a DRD rollback, the DRD ends unexpectedly.
For RRC DRD and non-periodic DRD, this results in admission failures. For periodic DRD, this results in
call drops.
The related signaling prcedures of DRD are as follows:
RRC DRD: RL Setup and RRC signaling
Non-periodic DRD: RL setup, RL Reconfiguration, RB setup, RB Reconfiguration
Periodic DRD: RL Reconfiguration, RB Reconfiguration, Physical Channel Reconfiguration
The signaling procedures of RRC, RB and Physical Channel Reconfiguration are on Uu. For details, see
3GPP 25.331.
The signaling procedures of RL are on Iub between RNC and NodeB. For details, see 3GPP 25.433.
DRD Rollback After RL Setup or Reconfiguration Failures
If RL setup or reconfiguration fails due to NodeB CPU overload, the RNC cannot perform a DRD
rollback.
If RL setup or reconfiguration fails due to timeout, whether the RNC can perform a DRD rollback is
determined by the PERFENH_IS_TIMEOUT_TRIG_DRD_SWITCH in the PerfEnhanceSwitch
parameter.
If RL setup or reconfiguration fails due to other reasons, the RNC can perform a DRD rollback.
DRD Rollback After RRC Connection Setup Failures
During RRC connection setup, the RNC cannot receive RRC setup failure messages on the Uu interface.
Therefore, the RNC performs a DRD rollback only after the timer for RRC connection setup response
messages has expired.
The PERFENH_IS_TIMEOUT_TRIG_DRD_SWITCH in the PerfEnhanceSwitch parameter specifies
whether the RNC performs a DRD rollback if RRC connection setup times out.
WCDMA RAN
Directed Retry Decision 6 DRD Rollback

6-7

DRD Rollback After RB Setup Failures
Non-periodic DRD uses the RB setup procedure. When an RB fails to be set up, the RNC performs a
DRD rollback as follows:
If the RNC receives a Radio Bearer Setup Failure message on the Uu interface before the activation
timer expires, the RNC performs a DRD rollback.
If the RNC receives a Radio Bearer Setup Failure message on the Uu interface after the activation
timer has expired, the RNC cannot perform a DRD rollback for CS services. Whether the RNC
performs a DRD rollback for other services is determined by the
RNC_RBSETUP_DRD_FAIL_ROLLBACK_SWITCH in the PROCESSSWITCH2 parameter.

If UE-related parameter settings are modified on the network side, the UE, NodeB, and RNC all adopt the new data
configuration at the activation time. For details about the activation time, see 3GPP TS 25.331 Radio Resource Control
(RRC) and Protocol specification.
After the activation time expires, if the RNC receives a Radio Bearer Setup Failure message with the cause value of
"Physical channel failure," the UE has failed to set up a physical channel and the DRD target cell has poor channel quality.
An inter-RAT DRD rollback is handled in the same way as an inter-RAT handover rollback. For details, see Handover
Feature Parameter Description.
If the UE uses different SRBs during RRC connection setup and RAB setup, whether the RNC
performs a DRD rollback is determined by the RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT3-1 in ReservedSwitch0
of SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH. For example, if a DRD fails and the SRB of a UE is carried over
DCH during RRC setup and over E-DCH during RAB setup, the RNC performs a DRD rollback only
when this switch is turned on. Otherwise, UE access ends.
DRD Rollback After RB Reconfiguration Failures
A periodic DRD uses the RB reconfiguration procedure.
A DRD rollback triggered by RB reconfiguration failures is handled in a way similar to a non-periodic
DRD rollback. The only difference between them is as follows: When the RNC receives a Radio Bearer
Reconfiguration Failure message on the Uu interface after the activation time has expired, whether the
RNC performs a DRD rollback for non-CS services is determined by the
RNC_RBRECFG_DRD_FAIL_ROLLBACK_SWITCH in the PROCESSSWITCH2 parameter.
DRD Rollback After Physical Channel Reconfiguration Failures
Periodic DRD may uses the signaling procedure of physical channel reconfiguration.If a signaling
procedure of physical channel reconfiguration fails, the RNC performs a DRD rollback as follows:
If the RNC receives the Physical Channel Reconfiguration Failure message before the activation timer
expires, the RNC support the rollback.
If the RNC receives the Physical Channel Reconfiguration Failure message after the activation timer
expires, the RNC support the rollback for PS services only. CS rollback is not supported in this case.

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. Start Uu interface tracing on the BSC6900 LMT.
2. Use a UE in a cell to initiate a PS interactive service. This cell carries low-priority services. The target
inter-frequency neighboring cell has light load and carries high-priority services.
In the Uu Interface Trace dialog box, view the following procedure:
After the UE in a cell sends an RRC_RB_SETUP_CMP message, the BSC6900 sends an
RRC_PH_CH_RECFG message to the UE.
The UE responds with an RRC_PH_CH_RECFG_CMP message.
The BSC6900 enters the compressed mode.
The UE in periodical mode sends an RRC_MEAS_CTRL message to the BSC6900 to measure the
signal quality of the target cell.
The BSC6900 sends the UE an RRC_RB_RECFG message containing the primary scrambling code
and frequency of the inter-frequency neighboring cell.
The UE sends an RRC_RB_RECFG_CMP message from the inter-frequency neighboring cell.
this step, turn off Service differential drd switch and Measurement-Based DRD Switch.

Meaning:Controls the
validity of the
measurement-based
DRD algorithm. Assume
that the DRD algorithm
is enabled. If the switch
is on, the BSC6900
uses the DRD algorithm
based on the
measurement (for
measuring the signals
in the neighboring cell
of the best cell). You
can run the "SET
UMCDRD" command to
configure the related
parameters. If the
switch is off, the
BSC6900 implements
the DRD algorithm
based on blind
handovers. Note: When
the
measurement-based
DRD algorithm is used,
you need to measure
the signal quality of the
target cell before a DRD
retry. This cell can act
as the actual target cell
only when its signal
quality meets the preset
threshold. The
measurement-based
DRD is performed only
for the periodic retry
flow.

mode. It is not
recommended that this
parameter is set to
NON_PERIODIC_REP
ORT since the UE
behavior may be
unknown.
The GSM RSSI
measurement period is
480 ms. Therefore, the
inter-RAT periodical
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
number of neighboring
GSM cells exceeds 16.

parameter has impact
on the Uu signaling

too short and the
reporting frequency is

have high load in
processing signaling. If
the period is too long,
the network cannot
detect the signal
changes in time, which
may delay the inter-RAT

cause call drops.

The value of this
parameter is associated
with slow fading. If this
greater value, the
probability of incorrect
decision becomes low;
however, the handover
algorithm becomes slow
in responding to signal
change.
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

change; however, the

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
a smaller value,
whereas for the cell
where most UEs are in
slow movement, this
a greater value. The
value of this parameter
can be adjusted
according to the actual
network statistics.
The inter-frequency
measurement reporting
period is 480 ms.
Therefore, the trigger
delay time shorter than
480 ms is invalid.
