2 Overview
Iu Flex is an extended function of RAN. The 3GPP TS 23.236 defines Iu Flex as follows: "Intra-
domain Connection of Radio Access Network (RAN) Nodes to Multiple Core Network Nodes."
The Iu Flex (WRFD-021302 Iu Flex) brings in the concept of "pool area". A pool area contains
one or more MSC/SGSN service areas. In a pool area, the UE roams freely without changing
the serving CN node. The Iu Flex enables a RAN node to route information to different CN
nodes, implementing the load balance among MSCs or SGSNs.
2.1 Background
In the versions earlier than 3GPP R5, one RAN node is controlled by only one CN node. Such
a network structure, however, has some limitations. From the perspective of 3G traffic
distribution, the traffic volume of urban areas in the daytime constitutes a major proportion of
the total, but the traffic volume of urban areas at night decreases to a low level. The situation
may be reverse in the suburban area. Therefore, the load of CN nodes for urban and suburban
area is imbalanced.
Therefore, Iu Flex is introduced in 3GPP R5. With Iu Flex, one RAN node can be connected to
several CN nodes and these CN nodes can form a pool area. The UEs in the same pool area do
not need to change the serving CN node.
The introduction of Iu Flex avoids the imbalance of resource usage among different CN nodes
in different traffic peak hours and achieves the load balancing among several CN nodes in the
WCDMA network.
In a traditional network structure, a RAN node only needs to know whether the destination is
the CS domain or the PS domain before sending information. It does not need to discriminate
specific CN nodes because a RAN node is connected to only one CN node.
With Iu Flex, however, one RNC can connect to several MSCs/SGSNs physically, where CS
nodes and PS nodes form different pool areas. Therefore, a RAN node can send information to
different CN nodes in the CS or PS domain and achieve load balancing among several CN nodes
in the pool area.
l A pool area is a collection of one or more MSC or SGSN serving areas. One or more CN
nodes can provide services in parallel and these CN nodes share the traffic in the pool area.
l Pool areas may overlap. RAN nodes belong to all the overlapping pool areas.
l The CS pool area is independent of the PS pool area.
l If a UE roams in a certain pool area, it does not need to change the serving CN node.
The Iu Flex feature enhances network reliability, achieves load balancing, and reduces UE
roaming signaling.
A RAN node service area contains all the cells controlled by the RAN node. A pool area is a
collection of one or more RAN node service areas. It is served, in parallel, by one or more CN
nodes that share the traffic of this area.
A UE is served by one dedicated CN node in a pool area as long as the UE is under the radio
coverage of the pool area. Pool areas can overlap each other. If several overlapping pool areas
cover a same RAN node service area, the RAN node service area belongs to these pool areas.
The pool areas of the CS domain and those of the PS domain are configured independently with
the granularity of RAN node service areas.
In a pool area, the UE roams freely without changing the serving CN node. The RAN node
service area can belong to the same pool area or several pool areas.
l CS pool area 1: includes RAN node areas 1, 2, 5, 6, and MSC servers 1, 2, and 3, which
provide service for the RAN node areas.
l CS pool area 2: includes RAN node areas 2, 3, 6, 7, and MSC servers 4, 5, and 6, which
provide service for the RAN node areas.
l PS pool area 1: includes RAN node areas 1 and 5, and SGSNs 1 and 2, which provide
service for the RAN node areas.
l PS pool area 2: includes RAN node areas 2, 3, 6, 7, and SGSN 3, 4, and 5, which provide
service for the RAN node areas.
NOTE
As shown in Figure 2-1, the pool areas without the Iu Flex, such as RAN node areas 4 and 8, may coexist
with the pool areas with the Iu Flex.
The pool areas of the CS and PS domains can be configured as identical pool areas, such as CS
pool area 2 and PS pool area 2, or different pool areas, such as CS pool area 1 and PS pool area
1.
Each pool area has its unique configuration of the CN node capability or number.
2.3 NRI
The Network Resource Identifier (NRI) identifies the CN node that serves a pool area. The NRI
has a flexible length from 0 bit to 10 bits. 0 bit means no Iu flex. The NRI lengths are the same
for all the CN nodes in one pool area.
In areas where pool areas overlap, the NRI identifies the CN node that serves these overlapping
pool areas. For overlapping pool areas, the NRI lengths must be configured the same for all the
nodes serving specific pool areas.
The CN nodes in the CS domain and those in the PS domain are addressed separately, so the
NRIs of the CS and PS domains are independent of each other.
The NRI is a part of the Temporary Mobile Station Identity (TMSI) for the CS domain, or of
the Packet TMSI (P-TMSI) for the PS domain. The TMSI or P-TMSI is assigned to the UE by
the serving CN node. The TMSI or P-TMSI allocation mechanism of the CN node generates
TMSIs or P-TMSIs with NRIs determined by certain bits.
The association between the NRIs and the CN nodes in the CN pool area is configured on the
RAN nodes.
In the WCDMA system, the UE provides an intra domain NAS node selector (IDNNS) in the
access stratum (AS) part of the Initial Direct Transfer message to the RAN node. The IDNNS
contains a routing parameter with a fixed length of 10 bits. This routing parameter contains the
NRI information. In addition, the IDNNS contains the identity that indicates the source of the
routing parameters. The identity can be TMSI/P-TMSI, international mobile subscriber identity
(IMSI), international mobile equipment identity (IMEI), and so on. The RAN node masks the
significant bits out of the routing parameter part of the IDNNS to determine the NRI that is used
to identify the relevant CN node. The most significant bit of the NRI corresponds to the most
significant bit of the routing parameter in the IDNNS. A routing parameter containing the identity
of IMSI is in range of 0 to 999 (calculated by (IMSI div 10) mod 1000) and is called IMSIROUTE
in this document. The association between IMSIROUTE and the CN nodes in the CN pool area
is configured on the RNC.
2.4 NullNRI
NullNRI is a special value of the NRI, which indicates that the CN node identified by the NRI
is to be offloaded. On receiving a message carrying NullNRI, the RNC starts the IDNNS function
to select an appropriate CN node. NullNRI can be unique in a Public Land Mobile Network
(PLMN) or set separately in the CS domain and PS domain.
The UE will immediately initiate Location Update or Route Area Update after receiving the
Non-broadcast LAI/RAI.
NAS Node Selection Function (NNSF) is used to select an appropriate CN Node for a UE.
3.1 Overview
The NNSF performs the selection of a CN node and the processing of the IMSI Paging Message
in both the CS and PS domain.
In the RAN node, the NNSF selects a specific CN node (MSC server or SGSN) and routes the
initial NAS signaling message to the selected CN node.
If a CN node address configured for the NRI can be derived from the initial NAS signaling
message, the NNSF routes the message to the CN node. If no CN node address is configured for
the derived NRI or no NRI can be derived (for example, the UE indicates an identity that contains
no NRI), or the configured CN node cannot be reached, the NNSF selects an available CN node
based on load balancing and routes the message to the selected CN node.
l The first part indicates the ID type (TMSI/P-TMSI, IMSI, IMEI) used for calculating the
routing parameter.
l The second part indicates the routing parameter with a fixed length of 10 bits.
If a CS paging message with mobile identity type IMSI is received over the Gs interface from
the MSC, the SGSN has to contain the MSC/VLR-ID in the paging message or paging-request
message to the RNC.
1. The MS accesses the network through the RAN1, and provides the IDNNS to the RAN1.
2. The RAN1 obtains the corresponding SGSN based on the IDNNS, and then connects the
MS to the SGSN1.
3. The SGSN1 sends its NRI to the MS when the MS access is completed.
4. The MS moves to the area served by the RAN2.
5. When the MS requests to access the network though the RAN2, the MS provides the IDNNS
to the RAN2, containing the SGSN1 NRI.
6. The RAN2 finds the SGSN1 that serves the MS originally, and then connects the MS to
the SGSN1 that serves the MS at the first time of network access.
When a UE is moving within a Pool area, the UE can be continuously served by a certain CN
node. Therefore, the location update process between the SGSNs is avoided, and the network
load is reduced.
5 Load Balancing
Load Balancing (WRFD-021306 Iu Flex Load Distribution Management) describes how the
NNSF balances the load between the available CN nodes.
The RNC selects a CN node from the available CN nodes based on the load balancing principle.
Load balancing occurs in one of the following situations:
l There is no CN node configured for the NRI or IMSIROUTE indicated by the UE.
l The CN node corresponding to an NRI or IMSIROUTE cannot be reached.
l The CN node corresponding to an NRI or IMSIROUTE is inhibited.
l No NRI or IMSIROUTE can be derived.
l The value of the NRI is NullNRI.
Based on the load balancing principle, the RNC records the capability of each CN node which
is configured to the NORMAL state and is not in overloaded, and then selects a CN node based
on randomization function for the UE.
Assume that the RNC is connected to three MSCs in NORMAL state (identified as MSC A, B,
and C) and their available capabilities are 10, 20, and 10, respectively. Among the UEs accessing
in load balancing condition, 25% of UEs are routed to MSC A, 50% of UEs are routed to MSC
B, and 25% of UEs are routed to MSC C, according to the rules of load balancing. Other UEs
are routed to the specific CN nodes identified by the NRI.
NOTE
If a CN node whose available capacity is 0 is identified by a valid NRI and the route parameters of a UE
include the NRI, the UE will still be routed to the CN node.
message. Therefore, the data between the CN and the RNC is synchronized to realize load
balancing.
If the RNC does not receive the message about updating the dynamic capability before the CS
Information Update Protection Timer or PS Information Update Protection Timer expires, the
static capability is preferred.
NOTE
6 Flow Control
The RNC considers a CN code to be congested when either of the following occurs:
In non-Iu Flex networking, if a CN node is congested, the RNC reduces the load on the CN node.
For details, see Flow Control Feature Parameter Description.
In Iu Flex networking, when receiving an Initial Direct Transfer message from a UE, the RNC
forwards the message to the correct CN node based on the routing information carried in the
message. If the CN node is congested, the RNC determines whether to send the message to the
CN code based on the severity of the congestion and randomization function. If the RNC
determines not to send the message to the CN code, the RNC processes the message based on
the setting of IU_FLEX_CONG_DISCARD_SWITCH in the FunctionSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter in the RNC command SET URRCTRLSWITCH.
The RNC selects the CN node for the UE based on the proportion of the available capability of each CN
node in the NORMAL state.
7 Load Re-Distribution
There are situations where a network operator needs to remove load from one CN node (for
example, to perform scheduled maintenance, upgrade or load re-distribution to avoid overload),
with minimal impact on end users, or additional load on other entities, or both.
Load Re-Distribution helps to re-distribute UEs to other CN nodes. There are two ways to
implement load re-distribution:
The re-distribution of UE is initiated by the CN node that is to be offloaded. The procedure for
load re-distribution is described as follows:
1. In the first phase (a couple of Periodic LU or RAU periods long), the UEs doing Location
Update (LU), Routing Area Update (RAU), or Attach are moved to the other CN nodes in
the pool.
When the CN node receives the LU, RAU, or Attach request, it returns a new TMSI or P-
TMSI with a NullNRI, and a Non-broadcast LAI/RAI in the accept message.
l In the CS domain, the non-broadcast LAI will cause the UE to immediately send a new
LU request, which the RNC node will perform load balancing to route the UE to a new
MSC server due to the NullNRI.
l In the PS domain, the non-broadcast RAI will cause the UE to send a new RAU request.
The periodic routing area update timer is set to a sufficiently low value in the accept
message to reduce the time to trigger the RAU. Shortly after that, the UE sends a new
RAU request, which the RNC node will perform load balancing to route the UE to a
new SGSN due to the NullNRI.
2. In the second phase (PS domain specific), the SGSN requests all UEs trying to set up PDP
Contexts to detach and reattach. When they reattach, the SGSN moves them as described
in the first phase.
3. The third phase includes scanning the remaining UEs and initiating the movement of them
to other CN nodes.
l In the PS domain, the UEs are requested to detach and reattach, which will cause them to
be moved.
l In the CS domain, a new TMSI is allocated to the UEs performing the TMSI re-allocation
procedure (with NullNRI and non-broadcast LAI) so that an LU is triggered, which will
cause them to be moved.
The RNC selects CN node based on the CN state for load re-distribution. The CN state is
negotiated between CN and RAN. The state of CN should be specified in the RNC by the
parameterCNLoadStatus(BSC6900,BSC6910). The state for a CN node can be NORMAL,
OFFLOAD, INHIBITED or BLOCKED.
For multi-operator core network (MOCN) network sharing, re-distribution is always done within
the same CN operator. This is ensured by each CN operator using its own unique NullNRI. The
RNC is pre-configured with the NullNRIs for different CN operators, and it uses the NullNRI
to select a CN node within the same CN operator.
BLOCKED state is a sub-state of NORMAL state. The BLOCKED state can be set in the RNC
by run the following command.
When a CN node is in the BLOCKED state, the UE in the CN node is redistributed by the RNC
to other CN nodes.
A UE can still access a CN node in the BLOCKED state in the following two situations:
l When the CN is in BLOCKED state and other CNs are in NORMAL state, the UEs that
are routed to this CN node cannot access the CN and will be routed to other CNs. However,
the UE can still access the CN node if the UE is responding to the paging message from
this CN node.
l When the CN is in BLOCKED state and other CNs are in INHIBITED state or in
OFFLOAD state or are disconnected or are overloaded, the UEs can still access the CN
node.
8 Feature Deployment
8.1.1 Prerequisites
l Dependencies on Hardware
This feature does not depend on the hardware.
l Dependencies on Other Features
This feature does not depend on other features.
l License
The license " IU FLEX" on the RNC side has been activated. For details about the license
items and how to activate the license, see License Management Feature Parameter
Description.
l Others
The MSC and the serving GPRS support node (SGSN) support this feature.
8.1.2 Procedure
NOTE
The CNId of the same PLMN cannot be the same,even the different CN domain. The setting of
CNId must be consistent between the RNC and CN. If CNId on the CN is set to 5, CNId on the
RNC must also be set to 5.
4. Run the RNC MML command ADD UNRIGLBCNIDMAP. In this step, set Cn Operator
Index, CN node ID, and Network resource identity to configure the mapping
relationships between NRI and CN nodes.
5. Optional: Run the RNC MML command ADD UIMSIIDNNSCNIDMAP to configure
the mapping relationships between international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) ranges
and CN nodes.
After configuring the mapping relationships, the RNC routes the UE whose IMSI is within the
IMSI range to the specified CN. To ensure load balance among CN nodes, the IMSI range
mapped to each CN node must match the capacity of the CN node.
When configuring the feature on the CME, you must configure a single configuration first, and then perform
batch modifications if required.
You must perform a single configuration for a parameter before batch modifications of the parameter. You
are advised to perform batch modifications before logging out of the parameter setting interface.

Verification Procedure
1. Enable the UE to access a cell and register in the cell.
2. According to the mapping relationships between IMSI ranges and CN nodes and the load
balance algorithm, the RNC selects a CN node for the UE, and the UE registers successfully.
3. Then, if the UE initiates a service, the RNC routes the UE to the corresponding CN node
according to the mapping relationships between NRI and CN nodes.
If the MOCN feature is configured, the mapping between the ID of one CN node and one NRI needs
to be retained for each primary or secondary operator who uses the MOCN feature.
2. Run the RNC MML command RMV UCNNODE to remove CN Node (Keep one CN
Node).
NOTE
If the MOCN feature is configured, one CN node needs to be retained for each primary or secondary
operator who uses the MOCN feature.
3. (Optional) Run the RNC MML command RMV UIMSIIDNNSCNIDMAP to remove the
mapping relationships between IMSIROUTE and CN nodes.
4. Run the RNC MML command SET UOPERATORCFGPARA to deactivate this feature.
In this step, set Feature Supporting Mode of CS Domain to SUPP_NONE, set Feature
Supporting Mode of PS Domain to SUPP_NONE.

Verification Procedure
l Verifying load balancing in static capacity mode
1. Run the RNC MML command DSP UCNNODE to query the capacity ratio of CN nodes.
2. Check the following performance counters on the U2000 to verify that the RNC performs
load balancing based on the preconfigured CN capacity:
l Performance counters for CS service setup:
VS.IU.LdBalRtCS.IMSI
VS.IU.LdBalRtCS.InValidNRI
VS.IU.LdBalRtCS.IMEI
l Performance counters for PS service setup:
VS.IU.Load.RoutePS.IMSI
VS.IU.Load.RoutePS.NRI
VS.IU.Load.RoutePS.IMEI
l Verifying load balancing in dynamic capacity mode
1. Run the RNC MML command DSP UCNNODE to query the capacity ratio of CN nodes.
2. On the RNC LMT, choose Trace > UMTS Services to initiate Uu and Iu interface message
tracing.
3. Check the traced messages. If the CN sends the RNC an INFORMATION TRANSFER
INDICATION message, the dynamic CN capacity ratio is updated and used. If the CN
does not send any INFORMATION TRANSFER INDICATION message to the RNC,
the static CN capacity ratio is used.
4. Check the following performance counters on the U2000 to verify that the RNC performs
load balancing based on the dynamic CN capacity ratio:
l Performance counters for CS service setup:
VS.IU.LdBalRtCS.IMSI
VS.IU.LdBalRtCS.InValidNRI
VS.IU.LdBalRtCS.IMEI
l Performance counters for PS service setup:
VS.IU.Load.RoutePS.IMSI
VS.IU.Load.RoutePS.NRI
VS.IU.Load.RoutePS.IMEI
l Verifying load redistribution based on NullNRI
1. On the RNC LMT, choose Trace > UMTS Services to initiate Uu and Iu interface message
tracing.
2. Power off the UE. The PTMSI of the UE is assigned by SGSN1.
3. Set SGSN1 to the OFFLOAD state and SGSN2 to the NORMAL state on the RNC.
4. Set SGSN1 to the OFFLOAD state on SGSN1.
5. Power on the UE and the UE makes an attach request. Check the traced Iu interface
messages. The expected result is as follows:
l The RNC routes the UE to the SGSN 1 based on the NRI contained in the Intra Domain
NAS Node Selector IE in the RRC_INIT_DIRECT_TRANSFER message.
l The Attach Accept message from the SGSN 1 contains NullNRI, Non-broadcast
LA, and the periodical routing area update timer. Then, the UE sends a new routing area
update (RAU) request and contains NullNRI in the
RRC_INIT_DIRECT_TRANSFER message. The RNC routes the
RRC_INIT_DIRECT_TRANSFER message to SGSN 2, of which the state is not
OFFLOAD, based on NullNRI.
l Verifying load redistribution based on Block CN Node
1. On the RNC LMT, choose Trace > UMTS Services to initiate Uu and Iu interface message
tracing.
2. Power off the UE. The PTMSI of the UE is assigned by SGSN1.
3. Set SGSN1 to the BLOCK state and SGSN2 to the NORMAL state on the RNC.
4. Power on the UE and the UE makes an attach request. Check the
RRC_INIT_DIRECT_TRANSFER message traced on the Iu interface.
