Overview
In this document, UMTS 900 is used as an example of the UMTS deployed in the low band, and
related descriptions are applicable to UMTS 850. UMTS 2100 is used as an example of the UMTS
deployed in the high band, and related descriptions are applicable to UMTS 1900.
This document is prepared based on the BSC6900 R12. Descriptions may vary with versions. Unless
otherwise specified, the BSC6900 version mentioned in this document is R12.
Continuous development of telecommunications boosts the mobile broadband requirements,

and the traffic of data services is exponentially increasing each year. Huawei estimated that
the traffic of data services will increase 500 times by the year 2020.
To address the strong demands for data services, operators tend to use new-generation
networks or use more carriers. This document focuses on the multicarrier solutions that are
used to expand the capacity of carriers.
The impacts on system performance vary with multicarrier network strategies. In this
document, requirement scenarios of operators are classified into two types: system capacity
first and voice performance first. The document provides different networking strategies for
these scenarios. In addition, it provides KPIs of in-service sites mapping the two scenarios as
a reference.

Product and Terminal
Specification Restrictions
3.1 Restrictions on the Terminal Capability
3GPP TS 25.133 specifies the restrictions on the inter-frequency band measurement capability
of user equipment (UEs). In either the idle or connected state, 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 4-carrier networking scenario or a scenario
that involves more carriers.
Figure 1.1 shows the recommended configuration for a 4-carrier or 5-carrier networking
scenario.
Figure 1.1 Recommended configuration for a 4-carrier or 5-carrier networking scenario
For different frequencies used in the same sectors, the following configuration is
recommended:
2015-01-23
GREEN: blind HO(BlindHoFlag=True), Cell Reselection(SIB11=True)

INTERNAL
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
3.2 Restrictions on Neighboring Cells

If the radio access network (RAN) version is RAN10 or later, the number of inter-frequency
band neighboring cells is expanded to 64. Therefore, RAN10 or later is not subject to the
restriction that a maximum of 32 inter-frequency band neighboring cells can be configured. In
addition, no restriction is imposed on the total number of frequencies. A total of three bands
are supported. The radio network controller (RNC) selects and sends 32 inter-frequency band
neighboring cells based on the coverage priority. Based on the preceding description, the
number of inter-frequency band neighboring cells is now not a bottleneck.
3.3 Restrictions on Product Specifications

3.3.1 Performance Restriction When RRUs Are Added
If RRUs are added due to insufficient power, the transmit ends of two RRUs are often
connected to two polarization directions of an antenna. This results in inconsistent coverage.
The following optimization solution can be taken:
Turn on the DRD failure rollback switch. For details about this switch, see section
6.1"DRD Failure Rollback."
Use the measurement-based DRD feature, which is available since RAN12, as a

candidate solution.
3.3.2 Restriction on the Uplink Resource Group

The uplink resource group can support a maximum of six cells. When the S222 configuration
is expanded to the S444 configuration, at least two resource groups are required.
3.3.3 Restriction on the CNBAP Signaling Processing

Capability of NodeBs
The main control board of a NodeB is shared among all cells of this NodeB. The baseband
board is shared among all cells in the uplink resource group. Therefore, if a UE camps on only
one or two frequencies, the baseband board where these frequencies reside will be especially
busy. It is recommended that the camped-on frequencies be allocated to different uplink
resource groups.
For example, for an S333 NodeB, UEs camp on F1 and F2 cells at random, and F3 is only
used for high speed packet access (HSPA) services and the traffic of HSPA services is
balanced between boards in the resource group. If both F1 (three cells) and F2 (three cells) are
configured in the same uplink resource group, more than 60% of traffic of this NodeB will be
2015-01-23

INTERNAL
handled by this uplink resource group. In addition, nearly 100% of RRC requests will be
handled by this resource group. Boards that are configured in this resource group will be
especially busy. In this case, it is recommended that cells of F1 and F2 be allocated to
different resource groups, preventing the CNBAP overloaded problem on NodeB boards.

Overview of Network Policies
4.1 Networking Principles

Networking principles are as follows:
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. For details, see the Signaling Storm Solution material package.
4.2 Neighboring Cell Configuration Principles

Inter-frequency band neighboring cells are classified into the following types:
2015-01-23
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 neighboring cells that have different coverage can be configured as
coverage-based inter-frequency band handover neighboring cells.
Related MML command: ADD UINTERFREQNCELL
Descriptions about the HOCovPrio (coverage priority) parameter in this command are as
follows:
The value 0 indicates that the coverage-based inter-frequency band handover is not
supported; 1 indicates that the priority of the coverage-based inter-frequency band
handover is the highest; 3 indicates that the priority of the coverage-based interfrequency band handover is the lowest.
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 more likely to be handed
over to cell 1. Cells with HOCovPrio set to 0 are not sent as coverage measurement
objects.
4.3 Impact Brought by Introduction of the

HSPA+ Features
HSPA+ features include the downlink layer-2 (L2) enhancement, 64 quadrature amplitude
modulation (64QAM), multiple input multiple output (MIMO), dual carrier (DC), and
enhanced forward access channel (E-FACH). This section describes the impacts of these
HSPA+ features on a multiband and multicarrier network.
2015-01-23
Huawei Confidential
Page 16 of 157
INTERNAL
Figure 1.1 Carrier selection during the RAB DRD
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%.
(For details, see the MIMO+HSPA technical guide.) 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.
Deployment of the DC feature involves the evolution and modification of the original 2carrier, 3-carrier, or multicarrier strategies.
If a UE camps on a cell at random on the live network, DC can be deployed smoothly.
If the service steering strategy is implemented on the live network, it is recommended that DC
be introduced to the original HSPA carriers to prevent affecting the existing differential
strategy.

Operator Requirement
Scenarios and Strategy Comparison

5.1 System Capacity First
At the early stage of UMTS network construction, a large proportion of subscribers are voice
service subscribers, and only a small proportion of subscribers are HSPA service subscribers.
In a common networking solution, the service steering strategy is deployed between carriers,
that is, F1 carries only the voice and PS R99 services, whereas F2 and other carriers carry
HSPA services. This ensures not only the voice service experiences of subscribers, but also
the high-speed experience of HSPA services.
With the large-scale commercial application of intelligent terminals and data cards, the traffic
of network data services and signaling increases sharply. How to improve the utilization of
each carrier on the live network becomes a top issue considered by operators.
The random camping strategy can bring the capability of each carrier into full play and
maximize the system capacity. This strategy allows a UE to camp on multiple carriers with a
continuous coverage at random and directly initiate service access on the camped-on carrier.
HSPA services are balanced between camped-on and non-camped-on carriers.
The random camping solution is recommended for operators who take the system capacity as
the first priority.
5.2 Voice Performance First

Voice services are the most fundamental and important function of the UMTS network. The
uplink received total wideband power (RTWP) and transmitted carrier power (TCP) of HSPA
services are large and also fluctuate seriously. If the voice and HSPA services use the same
carriers, the cell coverage and signal quality are relatively unstable, which may cause call
drops during the co-carrier voice service.
To ensure the signal quality of voice services, configure different carriers for the voice and
HSPA services whenever possible. The preferred camping and service steering solution is
recommended.

Preset Conditions for Strategy

Deployment
6.1 DRD Failure Rollback

DRD has negative impacts on the RAB setup success rate. The negative impacts are even
more obvious when the coverage varies a lot with frequencies. It is recommended that the
DRD failure rollback switch be turned on.
The command used to turn on the DRD failure rollback switch varies with base station
controller (BSC) versions:
R11 SPC140
R12
R13
SET RRINNERTIMER: RsvdPara1=RSVDBIT1_BIT18-1
SET URRINNERTIMER: RB_SETUP_DRD_FAIL_ROLLBACK_SWITCH-1
SET URRCTRLSWITCH:
PROCESSSWITCH2=RNC_RBSETUP_DRD_FAIL_ROLLBACK_SWITCH-1
6.2 DRD Threshold

To reduce the decrease in the RAB setup success rate caused by DRD, it is recommended that
the DRD threshold be set to 14 dB. The following is an example of the command:
ADD UINTERFREQNCELL: DRDECN0THRESHHOLD=-14
6.3 OLC
No special requirement is set for overload control (OLC) in a multicarrier network. It is
recommended that the default setting of OLC be used. The following is an example of the
command:

7.1 Network Application Scenario and Solution

7.1.1 Two Carriers in the Same Band
7.1.1.1 Scenario 1: F1 for Continuous Coverage and F2 for
Hotspot Coverage
General Strategy
All carriers support the R99 and HSPA services. UEs preferentially camp on the carrier F1.
Traffic of HSPA services is balanced between F1 and F2.
Due to the discontinuous coverage of F2, it is recommended that UEs do not camp on F2 to prevent F2>F1 inter-frequency band hard handovers at the border of cells.
Camping Strategy

UEs preferentially camp on F1 and do not camp on F2.
2015-01-23
Huawei Confidential
Page 21 of 157
INTERNAL
When configuring the cell selection or reselection data, set the inter-frequency band
reselection threshold of F2 to a large value so that UEs on F2 can easily or continuously
initiate inter-frequency band reselection to F1. The following is a configuration example:
ADD UCELLSELRESEL:CELLID=F1, QUALMEAS=CPICH_ECNO, QQUALMIN=-18, QRXLEVMIN=-58
ADD UCELLSELRESEL:CELLID=F2, QUALMEAS=CPICH_ECNO, QQUALMIN=-18, QRXLEVMIN=-58,
IDLESINTERSEARCH=9,
Set the preference offset so that it is easy to camp on F1 and difficult to camp on F2. The
following is a configuration example:
ADD UINTERFREQNCELL:CELLID=F1, NCELLID=F2, IDLEQOFFSET2SN=50, BLINDHOFLAG=TRUE,
SIB11IND=TRUE
ADD UINTERFREQNCELL:CELLID=F2, NCELLID=F1, IDLEQOFFSET2SN=-50, BLINDHOFLAG=TRUE,
SIB11IND=TRUE
Access Strategy
UEs directly initiate R99 services on the camped-on carrier (F1).
Traffic of HSPA services are balanced between two carriers by using the DRD feature.

Analysis of Impacts on Performance
For details about the performance indicators, see Chapter 10"Strategy Evaluation."
In this scenario, pay close attention to the following indicators:
Whether the camping strategy takes effect: The number of RRC connection requests
sent on F2 should be much smaller than that on F1.
VS.RRC.AttConnEstab.Cell
Balance of the number of HSPA subscribers on two carriers: The HSPA subscriber
load balancing algorithm is used. Theoretically, the difference in the number of HSPA
subscribers on two carriers cannot exceed 4, that is, MAXHSDPAUSERNUM x
LdbDRDOffsetHSDPA = 64 x 0.05 = 3.2.
VS.HSDPA.UE.Mean.Cell
Success rate of RB setup for Outgoing Inter-Frequency Directed Retry: used to

analyze the DRD success rate.
VS.DRD.RBSetup.SuccOut/VS.DRD.RBSetup.AttOut x 100%
Inter-frequency band band load handover success rate of a cell

VS.HHO.AttInterCell.LB/VS.HHO.SuccInterCell.LB x 100%
Advantage of the solution

Both carriers support HSPA services and the HSPA user experience is good.
Risk
Inter-frequency band band hard handovers exist. Consequently, the PS call drop rate
is relatively high.
The voice and HSPA services share carriers. Therefore, the voice call drop is higher
than that in the scenario where carriers carry only voice services.
Suggestion
Use F2 for network-wide coverage to prevent occurrence of hard handovers.
Commercial Case Report

Provide the case report of reference operators and emphasize on the KPIs.
Detailed data is provided after development of the automatic analysis tool is complete.
Scenario 2: F1 and F2 for Continuous Coverage

General Strategy
Both carriers support the R99 and HSPA services. UEs camp on F1 or F2 at random. The load
balancing strategy is not configured for HSPA subscribers.
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.

7.1.2 Three Carriers in the Same Band

All carriers support the R99 and HSPA services. UEs camp on F1 or F2 at random. Traffic of

If UEs camp on F1, F2 or F3 at random, services initiated on the coverage border of F3 may be hard

cells to achieve load balancing, but SIB11 must be set to False. F3 and F4 cells must be configured as

it is recommended that F3 and F4 be configured as a pair of DC cells (ensure that a spacing of

relatively high.
Suggestion
Use F3 and F4 for network-wide coverage to prevent occurrence of hard handovers.

7.1.3.2 Scenario 2: F1, F2, F3 and F4 for Continuous Coverage

General Strategy
All carriers support the R99 and HSPA services. UEs camp on F1, F2, F3, or F4 at random.
The load balancing strategy is not configured for HSPA subscribers.
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.

Camping Strategy
UEs camp on F1, F2, F3, or F4 at random. The following is a configuration example:
ADD UINTERFREQNCELL:CELLID=F1,
SIB11IND=TRUE
SIB11IND=TRUE
SIB11IND=TRUE
SIB11IND=TRUE
NCELLID=F2/F3, IDLEQOFFSET2SN=0, BLINDHOFLAG=TRUE,

A UE can measure a maximum of two different frequencies. Therefore, only two inter-frequency band
neighboring cells can be configured for a cell. You can refer to the preceding configuration example to
configure neighboring cells in a crossover manner to ensure that each cell has an equal chance of being
configured as a neighboring cell.
Access Strategy
UEs directly initiate R99 or HSPA services on the camped-on carrier (F1, F2, F3, or F4).
Load balancing of HSPA services is disabled between four carriers.

7.1.4 Two Carriers in Different Bands

7.1.4.1 Scenario 1: U2100 F1 for Continuous Coverage and U900
F2 for Hotspot Coverage
General Strategy
Both carriers support the R99 and HSPA services. UEs camp on F1 at random. Traffic of
HSPA services is balanced between F1 and F2.
The coverage of U900 F2 is better than that of U2100 F1. 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 F2 is also used for
continuous coverage. In the general strategy of this scenario, U900s are not used for improvement of
weak coverage.

on F3, but the number of RCCs should be much smaller than that on F1 or F2 or be
equal to zero.
Balance of the number of HSPA subscribers on three carriers: The HSPA subscriber
subscribers on any two of the three carriers cannot exceed 4, that is,
F3 to F1 or F2 exists. Therefore, the inter-frequency band hard handover success rate
is much lower than the intra-frequency band hard handover success rate.

A UE can measure a maximum of two different frequencies. Therefore, only two inter-frequency band
neighboring cells can be configured for a cell. You can refer to the preceding configuration example to
configure data as follows:
Configure F1 and F2 as camped-on cells and neighboring cells for each other.
Configure F1 and F2 as the neighboring cells of F3 and F3 so that UEs on F3 or F4 can reselect F1

Difference in the number of HSPA subscribers on two carriers after the service
steering strategy is deployed: The number of HSPA subscribers on F1 is very small or
is equal to zero. The number of HSPA subscribers on F1 is not equal to zero only
when the number of subscribers on F2 reaches MAXHSDPAUSERNUM, or LDR is
triggered, or the number of combined service requests is large, or rollback upon a
DRD failure is initiated.


Voice services are carried only on F1. Therefore, the voice service experience is
good.
F1 supports HSPA services and carries services of a few HSPA subscribers. This
prevents problems such as code congestion that occur because F1 does not support
HSPA services and a large number of HSPA services on F2 fall back to the R99
services on F1.
Risk
F1 basically does not carry HSPA services. Therefore, the HSPA user experience is
less satisfying than that in the scenario where both F1 and F2 carry HSPA services.
DRD is triggered for all HSPA services. If the DRD success rate is not high, the PS
RAB setup success rate decreases.

DC Strategy
In this scenario, it is recommended that F3 and F4 be configured as a pair of DC cells. Ensure
that a spacing of 5 MHz is reserved between F3 and F4. If the frequencies of F3 and F4 do not
meet the requirements, use other carriers or optimize the frequency planning, and then deploy
the DC strategy. For details about the configuration, see "WRFD-010696 DC-HSDPA."
In this scenario, pay close attention to the following indicators in hotspot areas:
requests sent on F2, F3, or F4 should be much smaller than that on F1 or be equal to
zero. Because the coverage of F3 or F4 is better than the coverage of F1 or F2, F3
and F4 may handle services of subscribers who are located in the weak coverage of
U2100. In this case, a small number of RRC connection requests are sent on F3 or F4.
subscribers between F2, F3 and F4 cannot exceed 4, that is,
MAXHSDPAUSERNUM x LdbDRDOffsetHSDPA = 64 x 0.05 = 3.2. The number of
HSPA subscribers on F1 is basically equal to zero. The number of HSPA subscribers
on F1 is not equal to zero only when the number of subscribers on F2, the number of
subscribers on F3, and the number of subscribers on F4 reach
F3 or F4 to F2 exists. Therefore, the inter-frequency band hard handover success rate

Main Features and Their

Applications
9.1 Measurement-based DRD

This feature is new in R012 and will be updated in the next version.
9.2 Inter Frequency Cell Load Balance Based

on Thresholds
Cell Load Balance (CLB, WRFD-140217) is a new feature in R014.
9.2.1 Solution
Various features such as potential user control (PUC) in idle state, RRC redirection in access
state, and DRD can be used for service steering or load balancing in multiple bands
multicarriers network. After UEs enter the connected state, load can be balanced among
different frequencies within the RNC through MC DRD or MC LDR, but load cannot be
balanced among RNCs. The MC DRD is triggered by certain UE actions such as handover in
and relocation in. In addition, no algorithms are available for load balancing within the RNC
on multiband and multicarrier networks or micro-macro hybrid networks before congestion
occurs.
The connected state-based multiband load balancing algorithm selects the UE and target cell
based on the measured results of the uplink and downlink power, code, and CE resources in
the source cell, and triggers an inter-frequency handover based on measurement to achieve
load balancing among frequencies.
This feature supports inter- and intra-frequency load balancing among equipment from
different vendors or among RNCs. It also supports inter-frequency load balancing in macromicro hybrid networks.
9.2.2 Benefits
This feature can be deployed in inter-frequency scenarios that have the same coverage (such
as a multiband and multicarrier overlay network) or that have different coverage (such as a
2015-01-23
Huawei Confidential
Page 132 of 157
INTERNAL
macro-micro asymmetric network). The feature balances the load among inter-frequency cells
and improves the power, code, and CE resource usage for the system.
The configuration of the cell load balance (CLB) threshold enables load balancing or sharing
among inter-frequency cells.
If the CLB threshold of the current frequency matches the CLB threshold of the target
frequency, and the power, code, or CE resource status of the cell triggers a CLB operation,
some UEs are handed over to the target frequency for inter-frequency load balancing.
If the CLB threshold of the current frequency is much lower than the CLB threshold of the
target frequency, the target frequency is offloaded.
9.2.3 Application Scenario

If this feature is enabled, heavily-loaded cells are relieved from resource congestion and
coverage performance of these cells is improved. In addition, cells with little load are better
utilized and the system capacity is increased.
This feature can be applied in the following scenarios:
Macro-micro inter-frequency networking
Overlay networking
9.2.3.1 Macro-Micro Inter-Frequency Networking

In macro network preferred camping strategy, to offload the HSPA service on the macro
network to the micro network, set the PS CLB threshold of the micro cell higher than that of
the macro cell.
You are advised to set the PS CLB thresholds for a macro cell as follows: ADD
UCELLLDM: UlPwrCSClbTrigThd=100, DlPwrCSClbTrigThd=100,
UlPwrPSClbTrigThd=40, DlPwrPSClbTrigThd=40;
You are advised to set the PS CLB thresholds for a micro cell as follows: ADD
UCELLLDM: UlPwrCSClbTrigThd=100, DlPwrCSClbTrigThd=100,
UlPwrPSClbTrigThd=75, DlPwrPSClbTrigThd=75;
9.2.3.1 Overlay Networking

In Huawei network preferred camping strategy, to fully utilize the network resources of other
vendors in an overlay network, load balancing based on the connected state is used.
For example, in Figure 1.1, Huawei UMTS900 network camping is preferred. To balance the
load, UEs are offloaded to the NSN UMTS2100. Technologies such as RRC redirection can
be used in access state to offload UEs. If congestion still occurs on the UMTS900 network in
connected state, this feature can be enabled to reshuffle some UEs to the NSN UMTS2100.

9.2.4 Configuration
For details on how to configure this feature, see the feature deployment manual. The
following lists the key points for configuring the feature:
1.
Add the NodeB Credit LDR Switch, Local Cell Group Credit LDR Switch, Local Cell
Credit LDR Switch, Code LDR Algorithm, Uplink UU LDR Algorithm, and Downlink
UU LDR Algorithm parameters. The default values of these parameters are 0, indicating
that the functions are disabled.
2.
Add the parameters of power-based CLB triggering threshold: UlPwrCSClbTrigThd,

DlPwrCSClbTrigThd, UlPwrPSClbTrigThd, and DlPwrPSClbTrigThd. Set the
parameters for cells and use default values in command ADD UCELLLDM, for
example, ADD UCELLLDM: UlPwrCSClbTrigThd=100,
DlPwrCSClbTrigThd=100, UlPwrPSClbTrigThd=40, DlPwrPSClbTrigThd=40.
3.
In macro-micro inter-frequency networking, when the macro network camping is

preferred, the PS service on the macro network needs to be offloaded to the micro
network. You are advised to retain the default values of parameters for a macro cell
but set the parameters for a micro cell as follows: ADD UCELLLDM:
UlPwrCSClbTrigThd=100, DlPwrCSClbTrigThd=100,
UlPwrPSClbTrigThd=75, DlPwrPSClbTrigThd=75.
In overlay networking, if the service steering strategy is used between frequencies,

CS users can be reshuffled to the frequencies configured only with R99 services to
improve the service experience of CS users. In addition, PS users can be reshuffled to
cells with light load to balance the resource usage among frequencies if cells on the
current frequency are congested. You are advised to set the parameters as follows:
ADD UCELLLDM: UlPwrCSClbTrigThd=40, DlPwrCSClbTrigThd=50,
UlPwrPSClbTrigThd=60, DlPwrPSClbTrigThd=80.
Set the parameters of the power-based CLB releasing threshold: UlPwrCSClbRelThd,

DlPwrCSClbRelThd, UlPwrPSClbRelThd, and DlPwrPSClbRelThd. Set the
parameters for cells and use default values in command ADD UCELLLDM, for
example, ADD UCELLLDM: UlPwrCSClbRelThd=90, DlPwrCSClbRelThd=90,
UlPwrPSClbRelThd=30, DlPwrPSClbRelThd=30.
Considering load fluctuation, you are advised to set the difference between the CLB
triggering threshold and releasing threshold greater than 10%; otherwise, CLB may be
triggered and released frequently. Therefore, if you have modified the triggering
threshold, you must modify the releasing threshold accordingly.

the default values in the command ADD UCELLCLB, for example, ADD
UCELLCLB: CellSfCSClbTrigThd=100, CellSfPSClbTrigThd=82.
5.
Set the parameters of the code resource-based CLB releasing threshold:

CellSfCSClbRelThd and CellSfPSClbRelThd. Set the parameters for cells and use the
default values in the command ADD UCELLCLB, for example, ADD UCELLCLB:
CellSfCSClbRelThd=87, CellSfPSClbRelThd=69.
6.
Set the parameters of the CE resource-based CLB triggering threshold:

UlCreditCSClbTrigThd, UlCreditPSClbTrigThd, DlCreditCSClbTrigThd, and
DlCreditPSClbTrigThd. Set the parameters for cells or NodeBs and use the default
values in the command ADD UCELLCLB or ADD UNODEBCLB, for example, ADD

DlCreditCSClbTrigThd=100, DlCreditPSClbTrigThd=82; or
ADD UNODEBCLB: UlCreditCSClbTrigThd=100, UlCreditPSClbTrigThd=82,
DlCreditCSClbTrigThd=100, DlCreditPSClbTrigThd=82.
7.
Set the parameters of CE resource-based CLB releasing threshold:

UlCreditCSClbRelThd, UlCreditPSClbRelThd, DlCreditCSClbRelThd, and
DlCreditPSClbRelThd. Set the parameters for cells or NodeBs and use the default
values in the command ADD/MOD UCELLCLB or ADD/MOD UNODEBCLB, for
example, ADD UCELLCLB: UlCreditCSClbRelThd=87, UlCreditPSClbRelThd=69,
DlCreditCSClbRelThd=87, DlCreditPSClbRelThd=69.
8.
Add the uplink/downlink power, code, and CE resource difference threshold in unit of
percentage by running ADD/MOD UCELLCLB. Usually, default values are used. For
example, ADD UCELLCLB: UlPwrLoadSpaceThd=15, DlPwrLoadSpaceThd=15,
ClbCodeUsedSpaceThd=13, UlClbCreditSfSpaceThd=13,
UlClbCreditSfSpaceThd=13.
9.
Configure the inter-frequency CLB range for the cell. Run ADD UCELLCLB and set it
to the default value ONLY_TO_INTRA-RNC.
In macro-micro inter-frequency networking, if the micro cell and macro cell are in the
same RNC, use the default configuration.
In overlay networking, you are advised to configure the parameters as follows: ADD
UCELLCLB: CellLoadBalanceRange =ONLY_TO_INTER_RNC.
If both macro-micro inter-frequency networking and RNC overlay networking are

adopted, you are advised to configure the parameter as follows: ADD UCELLCLB:
CellLoadBalanceRange =BOTH_TO_INTRA_RNC_AND_INTER_RNC.
10. Enable or disable Non-coverage SF CM User Number Control Switch for the RNC.
By default, it is disabled. Set Cell SF CM user number threshold for the RNC. Retain
the default settings in SET UCMCF, for example, SET UCMCF:
NCovCMUserNumCtrlSwitch=OFF, CellSFCMUserNumThd=5.
11. Configure the CLB neighbor parameters CLBFlag and CLBPrio. The default settings
are as follows: ADD UINTERFREQNCELL: CLBFlag= FALSE, CLBPrio=0. To
achieve inter-frequency load balancing between cells of different frequencies, configure
the neighboring cell as a CLB neighbor or a non-CLB neighbor and the CLB neighbor
priority based on the application scenario.
12. Configure the inter-RNC inter-frequency load estimation parameters for the RNC as
follows:
Configure the inter-RNC neighboring cell load information decision switch. By default,
it is set to OFF.

CLB application scenarios, you are advised to set the parameter to ON.
Configure the 3G cell inter-frequency neighbor cell load decision window in the unit of
second. The default value is 30.
Set the 3G cell inter-frequency handover failure threshold. By default, it is set to 1.
Configure the 3G cell heavy load penalty timer in the unit of second. The default value is

9.2.5 Effect Evaluation

This feature implements load balancing and sharing on multiband and multicarrier interfrequency networks and macro-micro inter-frequency networks, and improves utilization ratio
of network resources. The feature helps to avoid the situation of cells of one frequency being
overloaded and those of other frequencies being idle. The feature hands over users from
heavily-loaded cells to cells with light load and improves QoS experience for users remaining
in the cell and users handed over to other cells. In addition, users accessed after the handover
are able to use cell resources more smoothly, and accessibility indicators improve.
This feature, however, may deteriorate hard handover indicators and call drop indicators.
When CM users increase in the cell, during the startup of compression mode, users using the
SF/2 method have impact on the cell capacity (mainly HSDPA throughput). As users are
handed over to other cells, the cell load decreases and the cell capacity increases. In addition,
the feature controls the number of users using SF/2 CM methods. In this case, cell capacity
indicators do not deteriorate.
1.
Macro-micro inter-frequency networking

When the macro network camping is preferred, the macro network HSPA service is
offloaded to the micro network. This fully utilizes the micro cell resources deployed in
hotspot areas. After the HSDPA/HSUPA users are handed over to micro cells, the HSPA
user experience is guaranteed. In addition, the CS user experience of the macro network
is improved when the load on the macro network reduces.
2.
Overlay networking
If UEs preferentially camp on Huawei networks in overlay networking, to fully utilize
the network resources of other vendors, load balancing based on connected state is used.
Risks of the feature in overlay networking: In inter-RNC inter-frequency CLB
application scenario, as the load on the neighboring RNC cell is unknown, users are
handed over to the target inter-frequency neighboring cell in blind. This may cause load
congestion on the neighboring cell. In addition, because the neighboring cell may hand
over users back to the cell based on the same strategy, ping-pong handovers between
cells may occur. To solve this problem, the inter-frequency neighboring cell load
estimation algorithm is added to the inter-RNC CLB scenario. The algorithm estimates
the load on the remote cell based on the number of inter-frequency handover failures in a
period, and starts the cell penalty timer when the threshold is exceeded. In the penalty
period, the cell is not selected as a target cell of handover. Because the algorithm does
not accurately measure the load on the remote cell, the solution may not effectively
eliminate ping-pong handovers.
You need to pay attention to the following indicators:

9.3 Inter-Frequency Handover Based on CE

Congestion
Feature code: WRFD 140010. This feature is new in V100R014.
9.3.1 Solution
The CE LDR algorithm supports only BE service rate reduction, inter-RAT handover in CS
and PS domains, and Iu QoS re-negotiation, and does not support inter-frequency handover
for uplink CE resources. This is because concentric cells usually belong to one NodeB and
concentric cells with different frequencies under one NodeB usually belong to one cell group
(CE resources are shared in a carrier group).

(MBMS)
However, concentric cells with different frequencies may belong to the same NodeB but
different cell groups (the CE usage of each cell group differs) or may belong to different
NodeBs. In this case, inter-frequency handovers are necessary for LDR triggered by uplink
CE resources.
This solution implements inter-frequency handover on CE resource LDR. You can configure
the LDR action in MML commands based on the actual situation of the network. If concentric
cells with different frequencies belong to different cell groups or NodeBs, you can implement
inter-frequency handover to achieve load balancing.
As CS users consume little CE resources and handover of CS users does not relieve CE
congestion effectively but may have adverse effect on CS user experience (for example, the
call drop rate becomes higher), this solution implements inter-frequency handover only for PS
users.
9.3.2 Benefits
When the uplink traffic volume is high (CE resource usage is high) in application scenarios
that concentric cells with different frequencies belong to different cell groups or NodeBs, the
inter-frequency load handover based on CE resources balances the CE resources among
different cell groups. This helps to improve the CE usage and increase the uplink throughput.
However, as the number of PS user inter-frequency handovers increases, the PS user call drop
rate may increase.
To improve the system throughput and user experience, you are advised to use this feature
together with the CE OverBooking feature to avoid inter-frequency handovers triggered by
fake CE congestion on the RNC.

Huawei Confidential
Page 138 of 157
INTERNAL
9.3.2.1 Factors Affecting Feature Performance
Few terminals support the frequency of other resource groups in inter-frequency

handover.
The HSUPA data resource is insufficient and the NodeB CE usage is low.
9.3.2.1 Feature Configuration Principle and Recommendation
This feature is used for the CE resource balance among resource groups under the same
coverage.
Identify the application scenarios with high CE usage. For example, in busy hours, the
CE usage of a resource group on a NodeB is higher than 90%. The system throughput
can be improved only in such application scenarios.
Enable the MC LDR algorithm for non-blind HO cells to enable measurement-based

handover to reduce CE congestion on the cell and improve the access success rate. The
system throughput can be improved only when the CE usage of the resource group on
the NodeB is high.
9.3.3 Application Scenario

The following describes the application scenarios of the feature:
1.
Multiple resource groups have overlay coverage.
2.
Under one NodeB, the CE capability of the license is greater than the total CE capability
of all the boards in each resource group, for example, the D board, E board, and H board.
This ensures that the CE capability of the resource group is restricted with priority. If the
CE resources of the NodeB exceed the CE capability restricted in the license, handover
does not relieve CE congestion on the NodeB and the board CE capability indicator
VS.CE.ULAvailable.UlGroup must be observed.
3.
The CE usage of each resource group on the NodeB (indicated by the traffic statistics
indicator VS.CE.ULMean.UlGroup) must be high. The feature performance is indicated
by the traffic statistics indicators before and after the feature is enabled.
The following are four typical application scenarios.
2015-01-23
Huawei Confidential
Page 139 of 157
INTERNAL
9.3.3.1 Typical Application Scenario 1: Random Camping on Four

Carriers (Reference Site: Bell/Telus)
Figure 3.1 Radom camping on four carriers
In this networking strategy, UEs camp on the four carriers at random.

In the application scenario, there are four UMTS 1900 antennas; UMTS 1900 F1 and UMTS
1900 F2 are the uplink resource groups; and UMTS 850 uses one uplink resource group. As
four antennas are used for reception, CE congestion is more likely to occur on the UMTS
1900 carrier. When CE congestion occur on the UMTS 1900 carrier, LDR inter-frequency
handover can be performed, and users can be handed over to the 850 carrier.
9.3.3.2 Typical Application Scenario 2: Service Steering on Four

Carriers (Reference Site: M1/Starhub)
Figure 1.1 Service steering on four carriers
In this networking strategy, UEs in idle state camp on F1. UEs initiating HSPA services are
directed to F2, F3, or F4 with the DRD feature. If uplink resource groups are configured on
F1 and F2 or on F3 and F4, F3 and F4 have more HSPA users than those on F1 and F2. CE
congestion is more likely to occur, and LDR inter-frequency handover can be performed to
2015-01-23

INTERNAL
hand over UEs to F2. In this case, you need to implement algorithms balancing HSPA users
and check whether CE resources are considered in balancing the number of HSPA users.
9.3.3.3 Application Scenario 3: Resource Groups with Different

Number of Cells (Reference Site: Malaysia DiGi)
In this application scenario, each resource group bears a different number of cells. In this case,
resources available to each cell are different, and cells are prone to resource group congestion.
Figure 1.1 Radom camping on three carriers
In this example, base stations with three carriers take up 25%. Among the three carriers, two
carriers share one board and one carrier uses another board. A half of the base stations with
three carriers suffer from CE resource group congestion in busy hours. Among the NodeBs
with resource group congestion, 80% of the CE resource groups without congestion have a
CE usage of less than 50%.

INTERNAL
9.3.3.4 Application Scenario 4: Macro and Micro Base Stations

(Reference Site: Bell/Telus)
Figure 1.1 Micro base stations on macro networks
In this application scenario, macro network users camp on four carriers randomly, and micro
base stations are deployed in hotspots.
With the use of micro base stations, CE congestion may occur on micro base stations on 1900
F3 because the micro base stations may bear too much traffic due to the CE capability or
coverage planning of the micro base stations. In this case, some users on the 1900 F3 must be
handed over to the 1900 F2 or 850 F1 or F2 based on the configured LDR action.
CE congestion occurs in different application scenarios may have different severities. However, they
have similar causes, that is, imbalanced CE resource usage (caused by different CE consumption
policies, service steering, or different numbers of available CEs allocated to resource groups). The
preceding application scenarios are four application scenarios with high possibility of resource group
congestion. For other application scenarios with high possibility of resource group congestion, such as
use of the HSPA+ technology with imbalanced CE resource usage, you can also use this feature to
improve the CE resource usage.
9.3.4 Configuration
Because the RNC manages admission CEs rather than the CEs used by the NodeB,
congestion may occur on the CEs managed by the RNC, but not on the CEs used by the
NodeB. This may cause false CE LDR inter-frequency handovers. Therefore, you are advised
to use this feature with the CE OverBooking algorithm to avoid the problem.

9.3.5.4 Troubleshooting
If the HSUPA throughput rate does not increase after the algorithm is enabled, check
whether the actual CE usage of the NodeB is high.
If the CE congestion on the current cell does not relieve after the algorithm is enabled,
check the CE congestion status on other cells that have the same coverage.
