Use the networking strategy of the live network whenever possible.

For frequencies that allow camping, ensure the continuous coverage to reduce the risk of
call drops caused by inter-frequency band handovers in the circuit switched (CS) domain.
The soft handover success rate is higher than the inter-frequency band hard handover
success rate.

Considering the network evolution trend and networking possibilities, the R99+HSPA
hybrid networking strategy is recommended. If only R99 services are carried over
frequencies, HSPA services fall back to R99 service, causing code resource congestion.
Therefore, it is not recommended that only R99 services be carried over frequencies.

If the barred camping strategy is used, packet switching (PS) call drop rate increases
when the signaling storm solution is deployed. Therefore, the barred camping strategy is
not recommended

Inter-frequency band reselection neighboring cell: Only the inter-frequency band


reselection can be performed between the source and target cells. The coverage-based
inter-frequency band handover and inter-frequency band blind handover are not
supported.

Inter-frequency band blind handover neighboring cell: Only the inter-frequency band
blind handover can be performed between the source and target cells. The coveragebased inter-frequency band handover and inter-frequency band reselection are not
supported. In addition, the source and target cells have the same coverage but different
frequencies.

Coverage-based inter-frequency band handover neighboring cell: Only the coveragebased inter-frequency band handover can be performed between the source and target
cells. The inter-frequency band reselection and inter-frequency band blind handover are
not supported.

Inter-frequency band neighboring cells that have the same coverage can be configured
as inter-frequency band reselection or inter-frequency band blind handover neighboring
cells. Inter-frequency band neighboring cells that have different coverage can be
configured as coverage-based inter-frequency band handover neighboring cells.

If HOCovPrio of a cell is higher, the cell is more likely to be sent as a coverage
measurement object and UEs are more likely to be handed over to this cell. For
example, compared with cell 2 with HOCovPrio set to 2, cell 1 with HOCovPrio
set to 1 is more likely to be sent as a coverage measurement object and UEs are

3GPP TS 25.133 specifies the restrictions on the inter-frequency band measurement


capability of user equipment (UEs). In either the idle or connected mode, a UE is
capable of measuring a maximum of two different frequencies. It is recommended that
the number of frequencies of controlled neighboring cells in SIB11 and measurement
control should not exceed two. Special attention must be paid to this problem in a 4carrier networking scenario or a scenario that involves more carriers

For different frequencies used in the same sectors, the following configuration is
recommended:

GREEN: blind HO(BlindHoFlag=True), Cell Reselection(SIB11=True)

RED: blind HO(BlindHoFlag=True), Cell Reselection(SIB11=False),Disable


Coverage based inter-freq(HOCOVPRIO =0)

BLACK: Don't configure inter-frequency band neighbor

For different frequencies used in different sectors, the following configuration is


recommended:

GREEN: blind HO(BlindHoFlag=False), Cell Reselection(SIB11=True),Enable


Coverage based inter-freq(HOCOVPRIO =2)

BLACK: Don't configure inter-frequency band neighbor

After the HSPA+ features are introduced, the network first selects candidate cells with
the highest HSPA+ capabilities based on the highest capability of UEs. Currently, the
capacity loss caused by sharing of carriers between MIMO and HSPA can be controlled
within 10%. After the MIMO+H co-frequency problem is solved, MIMO and 64QAM can
be regarded as an enhanced high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) technology.
For details about the MIMO+HSPA hybrid networking scenario, see the networking
solutions of other common scenarios. If independent carriers are required for deployment
of MIMO and 64QAM, the networking requirement can be addressed by incorporating
the HSPA+ capability mapping between candidate cells and UEs and the service priority.
For details, see the following descriptions.

Answer:

Random camping of UEs can basically ensure load


balancing of HSPA services between two carriers
during access of HSPA subscribers. Therefore, load
balancing of HSPA services is not needed, which
decreases the number of DRDs and increases the
RAB setup success rate of HSPA services.

WCDMA Multi-Band and Multi-Carrier Solution

Random camping of UEs can basically ensure load balancing of HSPA services
between carriers during access of HSPA subscribers. Therefore, load balancing of
HSPA services is not needed, which decreases the number of DRDs and increases the
RAB setup success rate of HSPA services. In special conditions, if load balancing of
HSPA services is enabled, the load balancing effect is only little better than that in the
case that load balancing is disabled. Currently, random camping is enabled but load
balancing of HSPA services is disabled on a network in Canada.

Considering the network evolution requirements, it is recommended that access to the


cells in idle or connected mode be allowed. The following is a configuration example:

ADD UCELLACCESSSTRICT:
IDLECELLBARRED=NOT_BARRED,CONNCELLBARRED=NOT_BARRED

The coverage of U900 is better than that of U2100. Some sites need to use U900s for
improvement of weak coverage, that is, use U900s to handle services in areas that are
not covered by U2100s. In this scenario, a lot of hard handovers occur during voice
services and call drop rate is high. Therefore, it is recommended that the optimization
solution be used when U900 F3 and F4 are also used for continuous coverage.

In the general strategy of this scenario, U900s are not used for improvement of weak
coverage.
