2 Overview of DRD
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
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 and periodic DRD.
The description of the DRD types is listed in Table 2-1.

RRC DRD is used to select a suitable inter-frequency neighboring

cell in which a UE can set up an RRC connection in either of the
following situations:
The RRC connection setup fails in the cell that the UE tried to
access.
The cell that the UE is trying to access does not support signaling
radio bearer (SRB) over HSPA when it is selected as the bearer
scheme.
RRC DRD is based on blind handover.

Blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD is used to select a

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, or Measurement-Based

Directed Retry (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.
Blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD and MBDR cannot work
concurrently. When MBDR is enabled, blind-handover-based non-periodic
DRD is automatically disabled.

Periodic DRD is used to select a suitable cell according to device

type priority, 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 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.

3 RRC DRD
3 RRC DRD
RRC DRD is performed when a UE fails to access the current cell during RRC connection setup. The
purpose is to enable the UE to set up an RRC connection in a suitable inter-frequency neighboring cell.
The DR_ RRC_DRD_SWITCH subparameter of the DrSwitch parameter determines whether RRC
DRD is enabled.
The RRC DRD procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC selects intra-band inter-frequency neighboring cells of the current cell that are suitable for
blind handovers. Whether a neighboring cell supports blind handovers is specified by the parameter
BlindHoFlag.
2. 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 the
neighboring cell.
3. The RNC selects a target cell from the candidate cells for UE access. If the candidate cell list is
empty, RRC DRD fails. The RNC performs RRC redirection. If the candidate cell list contains more
than one cell, the UE tries a cell randomly.
If
the UE is granted access, the RNC continues the RRC connection setup procedure.
If
the UE is not granted access, the UE tries to access another cell in the candidate cell list until it
successfully accesses a cell or all access attempts fail.
If all access attempts fail, then

The
RNC makes an RRC redirection decision, provided that the function of RRC redirection after
DRD failure is enabled.
The
RRC connection setup fails if the function of RRC redirection after DRD failure is disabled.
For information about RRC redirection after DRD failure, see the Load Control Feature Parameter
Description.

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.
Non-periodic DRD can be measurement-based or blind-handover-based. Blind-handover-based
non-periodic DRD and measurement-based non-periodic DRD (MBDR) cannot be used simultaneously.
When MBDR is enabled, other types of non-periodic DRDs are disabled automatically.
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 4.8
"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).
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 subparameter of the DrSwitch parameter.
For combined services, blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD is enabled by the

DR_RAB_COMB_DRD_SWITCH subparameter 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 subparameter 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 inter-frequency DRD, see section 4.3 "Inter-Frequency DRD."
For detailed information about inter-RAT DRD, see section 4.7 "Inter-RAT DRD."
4.3 Inter-Frequency DRD

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, as shown in Figure 4-1.
Issue 01 (2011-04-30)

4-1
WCDMA RAN
4 Non-Periodic DRD
Figure 4-1 Performing DRDs in sequence
The RNC does not consider disabled DRD functions. 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.
DRD for device type steering is controlled by the parameter DPGDRDSwitch. During RAB access, the
RNC first selects a cell with the highest device type priority for the UE according to the DRD for device
type steering. If multiple cells have the highest device type priority, the RNC selects a suitable cell based
on DRD for technological satisfaction, DRD for service steering, and DRD for load balancing. For details
about DRD for device type steering, see the Intelligent Inter-Carrier Layered Management on UEs and
Data Cards Feature Parameter Description.
DRD for HSPA+ technological satisfaction is efficient, but it is applicable only to UEs requesting HSPA+
services. DRD for service steering and DRD for load balancing are controlled by related parameters.
If all the DRD functions are enabled, the inter-frequency DRD procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC determines the candidate cells to which a blind handover can be performed. Whether the
neighboring cells support blind handover is specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag. A candidate
cell must meet the following conditions:
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 3 "RRC
DRD."
The current cell is also considered as a candidate if it supports the requested service.
2. The RNC selects a target cell from the candidate cells for UE access as follows:
(1) The RNC selects a cell with the highest technological satisfaction as described in section 4.4
"DRD for Technological Satisfaction."
(2) If multiple cells have the highest technological satisfaction or the requested service is not an
HSPA+ one, the RNC selects a cell based on DRD for service steering as described in section 4.5
"Inter-Frequency DRD for Service Steering."
(3) If multiple cells have the highest service priority, the RNC selects a cell based on DRD for load
balancing as described in section 4.5 "Inter-Frequency DRD for Service Steering."
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.

a. The algorithm goes back to step 2 to try any candidate cells that have not been tried.
b. If all candidate cells haven been tried and
If
the service request is an HSPA one, then the HSPA request is demoted to a DCH request and the
algorithm goes back to step 1 to retry admission based on R99 service priorities.
If
the service request is a DCH one, then the RNC initiates an inter-RAT DRD.
For UEs requesting non-HSPA+ services, if both DRD for service steering and DRD for load balancing
are disabled, the RNC performs the following steps:
1. The UE attempts to access the current cell if its service priority is not 0. If the service priority of the
current cell is 0, the UE attempts to access a neighboring cell with the highest blind-handover priority.
The blind handover priority of the cell is specified by the parameter BlindHOPrio.
2. The CAC algorithm makes an admission decision based on the cell status. For details about the CAC
procedure, see the Call Admission Control Feature Parameter Description.
If
the admission attempt is successful, the RNC accepts the service request.
If
the admission attempt fails, the UE attempts to access another candidate cell.
3. If any request for access to a candidate cell is rejected and

If
the service request is an HSPA one, then the HSPA request is demoted to a DCH request and the
algorithm goes back to step 1 to retry admission based on R99 service priorities.
If
the service request is a DCH one, the RNC initiates an inter-RAT DRD. For details about inter-RAT
DRD, see section 4.7 "Inter-RAT DRD."
4.4 DRD for Technological Satisfaction

4.4.1 Overview
Technological satisfaction refers to determining whether a candidate cell satisfies the technical
specifications for certain services, such as HSPA+ services. DRD for technological satisfaction is used to
select a suitable cell and 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.
DRD for 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.
4.4.2 Priority Sequence of HSPA+ Technologies

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:

4-3
WCDMA RAN
4 Non-Periodic DRD
When MIMO64QAMorDCHSDPASwitch is set to DC-HSDPA and MIMOor64QAMSwitch to MIMO,

the priority sequence is DC-HSDPA+MIMO > DC-HSDPA (with downlink 64QAM activated in at least
one cell) > MIMO+64QAM > DC-HSDPA (with downlink 16QAM activated in at least one cell) >
MIMO+DL 16QAM > DL 64QAM > DL enhanced L2 > E-DPCCH Boosting > UL 16QAM > UL
enhanced L2 > DTX+DRX > HS-SCCH Less Operation.
When MIMO64QAMorDCHSDPASwitch is set to DC-HSDPA and MIMOor64QAMSwitch to 64QAM,

the priority sequence is DC-HSDPA+MIMO > DC-HSDPA (with downlink 64QAM activated in at least
one cell) > MIMO+64QAM > DC-HSDPA (with downlink 16QAM activated in at least one cell) > DL
64QAM > MIMO+DL 16QAM > DL enhanced L2 > E-DPCCH Boosting >UL 16QAM > UL enhanced
L2 > DTX+DRX > HS-SCCH Less Operation.
When MIMO64QAMorDCHSDPASwitch is set to MIMO_64QAM and MIMOor64QAMSwitch to

MIMO, the priority sequence is DC-HSDPA+MIMO > MIMO+64QAM > DC-HSDPA (with downlink
64QAM activated in at least one cell) > MIMO+DL 16QAM > DL 64QAM > DC-HSDPA (with downlink
16QAM activated in at least one cell) > DL enhanced L2 > E-DPCCH Boosting > UL 16QAM > UL
When MIMO64QAMorDCHSDPASwitch is set to MIMO_64QAM and MIMOor64QAMSwitch to

64QAM, the priority sequence is DC-HSDPA+MIMO > MIMO+64QAM > DC-HSDPA (with downlink
64QAM activated in at least one cell) > DL 64QAM > MIMO+DL 16QAM > DC-HSDPA (with downlink
16QAM activated in at least one cell) > DL enhanced L2 > E-DPCCH Boosting > UL 16QAM > UL
4.4.3 Procedure for DRD for Technological Satisfaction

The procedure for DRD for technological satisfaction is as follows:
1. The RNC determines the candidate cells to which blind handovers can be performed. Whether the
neighboring cells support blind handover is specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag. A candidate
cell must meet the following conditions:
The
The
The
DRD."
2. The RNC selects a cell with the highest technological satisfaction as the target cell. If multiple cells
have the highest technological satisfaction, the RNC selects a suitable cell based on DRD for service
steering. If multiple cells have the highest service priority, the RNC selects a suitable cell based on
DRD for load balancing.
The RNC also determines the HSPA technologies for the UE in this step.
If the UE requires the DC-HSPA technology, the RNC searches for a DC-HSPA cell group based on the target cell. If
multiple DC-HSPA cell groups have the highest technological satisfaction, the RNC selects a suitable cell group based
on DRD for service steering. Then, if multiple cell groups have the highest service priority, the RNC selects a suitable
cell group based on DRD for load balancing.
3. The CAC algorithm makes an admission decision based on the resource status of the cell or cell
group.
If
the admission attempt is successful, the RNC initiates an inter-frequency blind handover to the cell
or cell group.
If
the admission attempt fails, the RNC removes the cell or cell group from the list of candidate cells
and then checks whether all candidate cells have been tried.
a. The algorithm goes back to step 2 to try any candidate cells that have not been tried.
Issue 01 (2011-04-30)

4-4
WCDMA RAN
4 Non-Periodic DRD
b. If all candidate cells have been tried and the service request is an HSPA one, the HSPA request
falls back to a DCH one to retry admission based on R99 service priorities according to the DRD for
service steering and load balancing.
One or two DC-HSDPA cells may support MIMO, depending on the configuration of the DC-HSDPA cells.
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.
4.5 Inter-Frequency DRD for Service Steering

This section describes the features 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.
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.
4.5.1 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.

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.
4.5.2 Procedure for DRD for Service Steering

The procedure for DRD for service steering is as follows:

1. The RNC determines the candidate cells and sorts them in descending order according to service
priority.
A candidate cell must meet the following:
The
candidate cell supports blind handover. Whether the neighboring cells support blind handover is
specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag.
The
The
The
DRD."
If DRD for technological satisfaction is performed before DRD for service steering, the candidate cell
must also meet the conditions based on which DRD for technological satisfaction is performed.
2. The RNC selects a target cell from among the candidate cells in order of service priority for the UE to
access.
If there is more than one cell with the same service priority,
The
RNC preferentially selects a candidate cell with the same service priority for admission decision.
Otherwise,
the RNC randomly selects a cell as the target cell.
3. 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 removes the cell from the list of candidate cells and then
The
If
algorithm goes back to step 2 to try any candidate cells that have not been tried.
admission decisions have been made for all the candidate cells, then:
a. If the service request is an HSPA one, the HSPA request is demoted to a DCH one. Then, the
algorithm goes back to step 1 to make an admission decision based on R99 service priorities.
b. If the service request is a DCH one, the RNC initiates an inter-RAT DRD.
In the case of DC-HSDPA services, if multiple DC-HSDPA cell groups have the highest technological
satisfaction, the RNC selects a cell group with the highest service priority.
The service priority of a DC-HSDPA cell group is determined by the highest service priority of the two
cells.
4.6 Inter-Frequency DRD for Load Balancing

This section describes the feature WRFD-02040004 Traffic Steering and Load Sharing During RAB
Setup.
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.

4.6.1 Overview of DRD for Load Balancing

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.
4.6.2 Power-Based DRD for Load Balancing

For Non-DC-HSDPA 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
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
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 on different frequencies.
The
RNC sets up HSDPA services on a carrier with a light HSDPA user load to achieve load
balancing among the cells on different frequencies.

(condition 2):
For algorithm 1, condition 2 is as follows:

For
DCH services
(ThdAMR,nbcell - Pnon-H,nbcell) - (ThdAMR,cutcell - Pnon-H,cutcell) > ThdD,loadoffset

Pnon-H,nbcell is the ratio of the non-HSDPA power load of the neighboring cell to the total downlink load.
ThdD,loadoffset is specified by LdbDRDOffsetDCH.
Pload,cutcell is the ratio of the sum of the non-HSDPA power and the GBP load of the current cell to

For algorithm 2, condition 2 is as follows:

For
DCH services
(ThdAMR,nbcell PD-enu,nbcell) - (ThdAMR,cutcell PD-enu,cutcell) > ThdD,loadoffset

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

For

Here,
ThdH-ue,nbcell is specified by MaxHsdpaUserNum.
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:
For
DCH services
a. If algorithm 1 is used, the RNC selects the cell with the lightest non-HSDPA load as the target cell.
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, the RNC selects the cell with the lightest load of HS-DSCH required power
as the target cell.
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.
If the admission attempt is successful, the RNC admits 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.
The

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 make an admission decision based on R99 service priorities.
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.
During uplink load balancing, if the serving cell is not in the target DC-HSDPA cell group, the RNC
selects a primary cell with a lighter load. Otherwise, the RNC checks whether the UL load margin of the
serving cell is higher than the value of ULLdbDRDLoadRemainThdDCHSDPA:
If the margin is higher, the RNC selects the serving cell as the primary cell.
If the margin is not higher, the RNC calculates the difference between the UL load margin of the
serving cell and that of the target 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 serving cell as the primary cell.
4.6.3 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.
Issue 01 (2011-04-30)

4-12
WCDMA RAN
4 Non-Periodic DRD
Figure 4-5 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 SF is smaller than this threshold, the RNC requests access to the current cell.
If the minimum SF is not smaller than this threshold, the RNC goes to the next step.
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.

4.7 Inter-RAT DRD

When all admission attempts for inter-frequency DRD during RAB processing fail, the RNC determines
whether to initiate an inter-RAT DRD.
The following figure shows the inter-RAT DRD procedure.
Figure 4-6 Inter-RAT DRD procedure
The inter-RAT DRD procedure is as follows:

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.
Whether the neighboring cells support blind handover 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 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.

4.8 Measurement-Based Non-Periodic DRD

This section describes the feature WRFD-020402 measurement-based non-periodic DRD, or
measurement-based direct retry (MBDR).
4.8.1 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.
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.
For a type of service, MBDR is controlled by the InterFreqActiveType and InterRatActiveType
parameters.
Note that MBDR cannot be used simultaneously with blind-handover-based periodic DRD. When MBDR
is enabled, blind-handover-based periodic DRD is automatically disabled.
4.8.2 MBDR Algorithm Switches

The MBDR algorithm switches are InterFreqActiveType and InterRatActiveType. They specify
whether a certain service can use MBDR.
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.
4.8.3 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.
Issue 01 (2011-04-30)

4-15
WCDMA RAN
4 Non-Periodic DRD
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 received
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.
Issue 01 (2011-04-30)

4-16
WCDMA RAN
4 Non-Periodic DRD
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 randomly selects one of them and then
establishes services in it. The smaller value of MBDRPrio, the higher its priority.
3. The RNC attempts to establish services in the neighboring cell with the highest priority. If the attempt
fails, the RNC tries other neighboring cells in descending order of priority until the attempt succeeds
or the number of attempts exceeds the value of the MaxAttNum parameter, in which case the RNC
establishes services in the current cell.
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

The measurement mechanism for inter-frequency or inter-RAT MBDR is the same as that for handover.

5 Periodic DRD
5.1 Overview
5.1.1 Switches for Periodic DRD
The DR_RAB_SING_DRD_SWITCH and DR_RAB_COMB_DRD_SWITCH subparameters 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 subparameter 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.
non-periodic DRD is controlled by the BlindDrdExceptHRetrySwitch
parameter.
When the BasedOnMeasHRetryDRDSwitch parameter is set to OFF:

Measurement-based
periodic DRD is disabled.
periodic DRD is enabled if the ChannelRetryTimerLen parameter is not set
to 0.
non-periodic DRD is enabled.
5.1.2 Triggering Periodic DRD

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.
When 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 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.
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 device type priority, see the Intelligent Inter-Carrier Layered Management
on UEs and Data Cards Feature Parameter Description.
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.
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.
periodic DRD supports the following HSPA/HSPA+ technologies: HSUPA,

HSDPA, 64QAM, MIMO, 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.
When measurement-based periodic DRD is enabled, blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD cannot

be applied. In such a case, the HSPA+ technologies supported by blind-handover-based non-periodic
DRD are also supported by measurement-based periodic DRD. Therefore, blind-handover-based
non-periodic DRD can be indirectly implemented through measurement-based periodic DRD.
When measurement-based periodic DRD is enabled, whether blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD can be applied is
further determined by the BlindDrdExceptHRetrySwitch parameter. For details, see 4 "Non-Periodic 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. The interval is specified by the ChannelRetryTimerLen parameter.
Figure 5-1 shows the procedure for blind-handover-based periodic DRD.
Figure 5-1 Procedure for blind-handover-based periodic DRD
The procedure for blind-handover-based periodic DRD is as follows:

WCDMA RAN

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:
The

frequency of the cell is in the band supported by the UE.
The
cell supports the requested service.
The
cell is not overloaded.
The
technological satisfaction or device type priority of the cell is higher than that of the current cell.
If there are no such candidate cells, blind-handover-based periodic DRD fails, and the RNC waits for
the next DRD period.
If there are any candidate cells, the following step is performed.
2. The RNC prioritizes the candidate cells according to device type and technological satisfaction.
3. The RNC attempts to access the target cell with the highest specifications for UE access.
If the admission attempt fails, the RNC removes the cell from the list of candidate cells and then
The
If
none 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 operate on 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.

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 cells, the following step is performed.
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 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 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:
The
cell is not overloaded.
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

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 step is 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 the admission attempt fails, the RNC removes the cell from the list of candidate target cells and then
checks whether all candidate target cells have been tried.
The
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. The length of the penalty timer is specified by
multiplying the value of the HRetryTimerLength parameter by the value of the
DrdFaiPenaltyPeriodNum parameter.

the DRD algorithm is enabled. If the switch is on, the
RNC 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 RNC 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

If the periodical report mode is used, the inter-RAT

assessment of inter-RAT coverage handover, namely
as Tother_RAT in the following formulas. The
inter-RAT handover decision thresholds are the
absolute thresholds (RSSI) of inter-RAT cell quality
for the inter-RAT handover decision.

the system starts the trigger timer and implements
the handover decision after timeout. If the quality of
the preceding RAT meets the following condition
before timeout:
Mother_RAT + CIO < Tother_RAT - H/2
The system stops the timer, and the RNC waits for
another inter-RAT measurement report.
In which,
Mother_RAT indicates the measurement result of the
GSM RSSI;
Tother_RAT indicates the inter-RAT handover
decision threshold;
Cell Individual Offset (CIO) indicates the offset of the
inter-RAT cell;
H represents the hysteresis. Hysteresis can reduce
wrong decisions caused by signal jitters.
The sensitivity of a GSM mobile phone is -102 dBm,
so the outdoor reception level should not be lower
than -90 dBm, considering a margin of 3 dB for
compensation of fast fading, 5 dB for compensation
of slow fading, 2 dB for compensation of interference
noise, and 2 dB for compensation of ambient noise.
The values of inter-RAT handover decision
thresholds vary with the handover policy. To have
UEs hand over only to the GSM cells with high
quality, you can set the inter-RAT handover decision
threshold to a comparatively high value, for example
-85 dBm.

sends inter-RAT measurement results to the RNC in
UCELLMBDRINTERR periodical reporting mode. It is not recommended that

this parameter is set to NON_PERIODIC_REPORT
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.

MML Command
Description
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.
The setting of this parameter has impact on the Uu
signaling traffic. If the period is too short and the
reporting frequency is too high, the RNC may 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 handover and
thus cause call drops.

always meets the criteria for inter-RAT handover
before timeout, the inter-RAT handover is triggered
after the delay trigger timer expires.
For the GSM cell whose BSIC can be decoded
correctly, a shorter delay trigger time should be set to
indicate the high priority attribute of the GSM cell. For
the GSM cell whose BSIC is not verified, a longer

REQ(Optional)
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 with most of the
fast-moving UEs, this parameter can be set to a
smaller value, whereas for the cell with most of the
slow-moving UEs, this parameter can be set to a
greater value. The value of this parameter can be
adjusted according to the actual network statistics.

becomes low; however, the handover algorithm

becomes slow in responding to signal change. If this
parameter is set to a smaller value, the handover
algorithm becomes fast in responding to signal
change; however, the probability of incorrect decision
becomes high.
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 parameter can be set to a smaller
value, whereas for the cell where most UEs are in
slow movement, this parameter can be set to 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.
If the parameter is set to a larger value, handover is
unlikely to be triggered. However, call drops may
increase as the parameter value increases.
