Claro network strategy

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential

 Overview
Currently, there is predominantly 1 LTE layer on Band 2 (1900MHz) in 2 different configurations: EARFCN
700, bandwidth 10MHz (over 3500 cells) and EARFCN 675, bandwidth 5MHz (over 1600 cells). Those 2
configurations are not present simultaneously in the same area, but border areas exist. Absolute priority is 6
in both cases.
UMTS Band5 (850MHz) is present with 2 carriers, UARFCNs: F1: 1062 (over 13000 cells), F2:1087 (over
12500 cells) network wide.
UMTS Band2 (1900MHz) is present with 2 carriers (in some areas), UARFCNs: 462 (~2000 cells) and
9664 (over 4500 cells mainly in Lima and Cusco)
UMTS absolute priority is 4 in all cases on all carriers. Random Camping strategy is used, no service
steering applied. Load based inter-frequency DRD is used in many cases.
LTE and UMTS priorities are configured consistently on both sides.
GSM is present on 850MHz band.
GSM neighboring frequency is not configured on LTE side and LTE neighboring frequency is not
configured on GSM side. Consequently, there is no direct transition of UEs between LTE and GSM layer in
both Idle and Connected mode.
UMTS and GSM priorities are not configured in consistent way on 2 sides. On GSM side, GSM is
configured with priority 7 and UMTS with Priority 1. However, current G2U reselection is not based on
absolute priority and this setting has no impact.
On UMTS side, UMTS is configured with priority 4 and GSM BCCH is not configured with priority (current
RAN version does not support it, this concept will be introduced in RAN17.1).

1. Reselection Scenario based on Current Network
Reselection to High Priority layer measures all the time, only
signal level in upper layer cell is considered, need to be higher than:
L1900 L1900 QRxLevMin*2+2*ThreshXhigh: -60*2+2*10=-100dBm (UMTS to

bellow QRxLevMin*2+2*SIntraSearch: -60*2+29*2=-62dBm (-
U1900 F2 4 U1900 F2 4 80dBm in some cells). Rel9 UEs also consider RSRQ (RSRQ<-
13dB)
Reselection happens based on R-Criteria: neighboring cell better

1.) Signal in serving cell is bellow: QRxLevMin*2+2*ThrshServLow: -
60*2+2*4=-112dBm
1.) signal in low priority UMTS cell is worse than
QRxLevMin*2+1+2*ThreshXlow: -58*2+1+2*2=-111dBm
Reselection between same priority layers is based on R Criteria, but
UE start to measure same priority other freq cell once when signal in
serving cell drops bellow QRxLevMin*2+2*SnonIntraSearch: -

Default value of q-RxLevMin is -64 [2dBm] which means that cell selection condition by
default would be: -128dBm.
With currently applied value (-120dBm), less UEs camp on LTE cells.

From LTE UE can reselect only to F1 U850 (DL UARFCN:1062). Other UMTS carriers are not configured
with absolute priority. Only 1062 is broadcasted in SIB6 with absolute priority 4 and UE can reselect from LTE to
UMTS UARFCN 1062 based on criteria for reselection to lower priority layer. (Serving cell RSRP<-112dBm,
UMTS cell RSCP>-111dBm, EcNo>-18dB)

GSM neighboring BCCH groups are not configured on LTE side and consequently SIB7 is not broadcasted
and UE can not measure and reselect from LTE to GSM.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 7

 Idle mode strategy
Neighboring EUTRAN frequencies (inside Band2,
between EARFCN 700 and 675) are configured without
neighboring frequency priority. Therefore, SIB5 is not
broadcasted and reselection between those
frequencies does not apply.

GSM neighboring BCCH groups are not configured

on LTE side and consequently SIB7 is not broadcasted
and UE can not measure and reselect from LTE to
GSM.
On GSM side, LTE external cells (with DL EARFCN) are
not configured. Therefore, reselection from GSM to LTE
is not possible.

SIB1 has fixed period of 80ms. Other SIBs do not have

fixed period and scheduling information for other SIBs, if
they are present in the cell, are broadcasted in SIB1.

Neighboring LTE frequencies are configured on UMTS side with priority 6 (consistent
with LTE side settings). SIB19 is set to be broadcasted in UMTS cells. Therefore, idle
mode mobility from UMTS to LTE is enabled. In most cases required LTE RSRP level is -
60*2+2*10=-100dBm.
UMTS to LTE reselection happens when RSRP level in target LTE cell fulfills condition:
RSRP>-60*2+2*10=-100dBm. RSRQ in LTE cell is not considered. LTE is measured all the
time while UE camps in UMTS cell. Reselection to LTE does not depend of signal or quality
level in UMTS cell.
UMTS to LTE Quick cell reselection is not enabled.
U2L Fast return and Enhanced U2L Fast return after CSFB are enabled in most cells.

 UMTS IntraFreq, InterFreq and InterRAT Reselection
Random camping is applied on UMTS (same priority for all carriers).
Service priority groups are configured but Service steering DRD is not used.
UE starts measuring Intra-frequency cells, Inter-frequency cells and InterRAT (GSM) cells depending of
conditions in serving cell (LTE is measured all the time in Idle and PCH).

If both neighboring GSM and UMTS cells fulfill the

Criteria S, the R value is calculated using the RSCP in
the UMTS cell and the received signal level in the GSM
cell. The UE selects a cell with the highest R value.
If a neighboring GSM cell is ranked as the best cell,
the UE reselects to the neighboring GSM cell.
Otherwise, the cell reselection procedure proceeds.

In most cases, condition for

reselection is Rs+1dB<Rn

 Connected Mode Parameters - Inter Frequency Handover
Inter-frequency handover is enabled in the network on cells in border area of 2 EARFCNs (700 and
675) on 1900MHz. As both DL EARFCN are in the same band (1900MHz), for triggering handover we
can use beside A4 (and A5) event also A3 event. Both cases are present in current configuration but in
future all cells on 1900 band will have 10MHz and EARFCN 700.
In future, 2 new layers (L2600 and L700 cells) will be added and A4 event will be used (beside event A2
in serving cell which triggers other frequency measurement) for Inter-frequency handovers.

For inter-frequency HO between EARFCNs in 2 different bands, A3 event can not be used and A4 event is recommended.

After UE reports A2 event (RSRP<-110dBm) it will get

measurement configuration to apply gaps and measure
other frequency.
After UE reports that neighboring frequency cell fulfills
A4 event (RSRP>-104dBm), inter-frequency HO is
triggered by eNodeB.
If before that UE report that signal in serving cell has
improved till A1 event condition (RSRP>-104dBm), eNB
will command UE to stop measuring other frequency cells.
