EFD activation, impact and risk

Impact, risk:

Reduced RRC connection setup success rate (The RRC connection setup failure rate does not
increase.)

On live networks, the service-related RRC connection setup success rate is higher than
the non-service-related RRC connection setup success rate. After this feature is enabled,
the number of service-related RRC connection setup attempts significantly decreases and
the number of non-service-related RRC connection setup attempts slightly decreases. A
possible result of this is that the total RRC connection setup success rate decreases but
the number of RRC connection failures does not increase.

The signaling exchange success rate in poor coverage areas is generally lower than that in
good coverage areas. After this feature is enabled, the number of RRC connection setup
attempts slightly decreases in poor coverage areas and the number of RRC connection
setup attempts significantly decreases in good coverage areas. A possible result of this is
that the total RRC connection setup success rate decreases but the number of RRC
connection setup failures does not increase.

Reduced PS RAB setup success rate

The calculation formula for the PS RAB setup success rate was corrected, as described in
section 7.4.1 Requirements. According to the operation and maintenance experience of live
networks, the PS RAB setup success rate of some fast dormancy UEs is higher than the
average level of the entire network. After this feature is enabled, the number of PS RAB setup
attempts significantly decreases. As a result, the total PS RAB setup success rate may
decrease.

Reduced paging success rate

After this feature is enabled, a large number of UEs are switched to the CELL_PCH or
URA_PCH state. As a result, the number of paging attempts in idle mode significantly
decreases, but the original paging failures cannot be eliminated. A possible consequence of this
is that the paging success rate in idle mode decreases. The original paging failures may be
caused by the following:

UEs that are dropped from the network or abnormally shut down

Poor coverage

Multiple RNCs sharing the same LAC or RAC

Longer FACH congestion duration

After this feature is enabled, the number of UEs in the CELL_FACH state increases, the traffic
volume on the FACH increases. As a result, the FACH congestion duration may increase.

Increased PS call drop rate

The calculation formula for the PS call drop rate was corrected, as described in section 7.4.1
Requirements. Before this feature is enabled, the UE may be switched to idle mode because it
has no PS data transmission before TRB reset. After this feature is enabled, the online duration
of UEs performing PS services increases so that there may be more TRB resets before the PS
User Inactive Detecting Timer expires. As a result, PS call drops occur.
Therefore, if there are a large number of call drops caused by TRB resets on the live network
before this feature is enabled, the PS call drop rate may increase after this feature is enabled.

Increased HSDPA call drop rate

The calculation formula for the HSDPA call drop rate was corrected, as described in section
7.4.1 Requirements. After this feature is enabled, the HSDPA call drop rate may still increase.
Before this feature is enabled, the HSDPA service is normally released if the UE has no data to
transmit. Then, if the UE has data to transmit (even only a small amount of data), the UE is
switched to the CELL_DCH state. After this feature is enabled, a large number of UEs are
switched to the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state. Afterward, the UEs only need to be switched to
the CELL_FACH state if there is a small amount of data to transmit. As a result, the denominator
in the calculation formula for the HSDPA call drop rate decreases. After CELL-PCH is enabled,
the actual HSDPA service duration basically remains unchanged. As a result, the total number of
abnormal HSDPA service releases has few changes. In summary, the HSDPA call drop rate
increases after CELL-PCH is enabled.

, the calculation formula for the PS call drop rate is changed to the following:

The PS call drop rate measures the ratio of the number of abnormal PS service releases to
the total number of normal and abnormal PS service releases. Its calculation formula is
changed to the following:
PS Call Drop Ratio with PCH (Cell) = [(VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS
VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.PCH VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.D2P
VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.F2P)/(VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS + VS.RAB.NormRel.PS

VS.DCCC.Succ.F2P + VS.DCCC.Succ.D2U + VS.DCCC.Succ.F2U)] x 100%

The PS R99 call drop rate measures the ratio of the number of abnormal PS R99 service
releases to the total number of normal and abnormal PS R99 service releases. Its
calculation formula is changed to the following:
PS R99 Call Drop Ratio with PCH (Cell) =
[(VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PSR99 VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.PCH
VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.R99D2P
VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.F2P)/(VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PSR99 + VS.RAB.NormRel.PSR99
VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.PCH VS.RAB.NormRel.PS.PCH + VS.HSDPA.F2H.Succ +
VS.HSDPA.D2H.Succ + VS.PSR99.D2P.Succ + VS.DCCC.Succ.F2P +
VS.DCCC.Succ.F2U)] x 100%

The HSDPA call drop rate measures the ratio of the number of abnormal HSDPA service
releases to the total number of normal and abnormal HSDPA service releases. Its
calculation formula is changed to the following:
HSDPA Service Drop Ratio with PCH (Cell) = [(VS.HSDPA.RAB.AbnormRel
VS.HSDPA.RAB.AbnormRel.H2P)/(VS.HSDPA.RAB.AbnormRel +
VS.HSDPA.RAB.NormRel + VS.HSDPA.HHO.H2D.SuccOutIntraFreq +
VS.HSDPA.HHO.H2D.SuccOutInterFreq + VS.HSDPA.H2D.Succ + VS.HSDPA.H2F.Succ
+ VS.HSDPA.H2P.Succ)] x 100%

The HSUPA call drop rate measures the ratio of the number of abnormal HSUPA service
releases to the total number of normal and abnormal HSUPA service releases. Its
calculation formula is changed to the following:
HSUPA Call Drop Ratio with PCH (Cell) = [(VS.HSUPA.RAB.AbnormRel
VS.HSUPA.RAB.AbnormRel.E2P)/(VS.HSUPA.RAB.AbnormRel +
VS.HSUPA.RAB.NormRel + VS.HSUPA.HHO.E2D.SuccOutIntraFreq +

VS.HSUPA.HHO.E2D.SuccOutInterFreq + VS.HSUPA.E2F.Succ + VS.HSUPA.E2D.Succ +

VS.HSUPA.E2P.Succ)] x 100%

Calculation Formula Correction for the PS RAB Setup Success Rate

After CELL-PCH is enabled, a large number of UEs will be switched to the CELL_PCH or
URA_PCH state. Then, a large number of UEs will be switched from CELL_PCH or URA_PCH
to CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH to establish PS services, instead of releasing PS RAB setup and
then reinitiating PS RAB setup. From the perspective of user experience, RAB setup, P2F, and
P2D are all processes in which UEs initiate services. Therefore, the calculation formula for the
PS RAB setup success rate should be corrected. The PS RAB setup success rate measures the
ratio of the number of successful PS service initiations to the number of attempted PS service
initiations. Its calculation formula is changed to the following:
PS RAB Setup Success Ratio with PCH (Cell) = [(VS.RAB.SuccEstabPS.Conv +
VS.RAB.SuccEstabPS.Bkg + VS.RAB.SuccEstabPS.Int + VS.RAB.SuccEstabPS.Str +
VS.DCCC.P2F.Succ + VS.DCCC.URAP2F.Succ + VS.DCCC.P2D.Succ +
VS.DCCC.URAP2D.Succ)/(VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Conv + VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Bkg +
VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Int + VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Str + VS.DCCC.P2F.Att + VS.DCCC.URAP2F.Att
+ VS.DCCC.P2D.Att + VS.DCCC.URAP2D.Att)] x 100%
