How to resolve IRAT KPI issue in Huawei-WCDMA Network

Hi
IRAT KPI in WCDMA network is very serious problem.
we can do some parameter optimization & remove discrepancy to improve IRAT KPI, here i want

To optimize IRAT HHO KPI, basic there are 2 ways, one is the basic 2G cell information and neigh
1. Basic information optimization.
a. In RNC CFGMML, the external 2G Cell information optimization.

In the live 2G network, periodic is is optimized, maybe the 2G BCCH&BASIC&LAC etc. will chang
share with 3G as below:
these all failure pack in this counter VS.IRAT.HOfailoutCS.cfgunsupp.
b. 2G GPRS&EDGE KPI check

As you know, if 3G UE want to handover to 2G, firstly the core network will help get the 2G reso
counter,

we can get the failure counter as below: IRATHO.FailOutPSUTRAN.PhyChFail/IRATHO.FailOutPSUT

GPRS&EDGE KPI to confirmed, the 2G counter requirement as below

If from the above 2G KPI, the 2G PS already congested, the 2G side need do the optimization or
handover to this 2G cell.

MOD UEXT2GCELL: GSMCellIndex=0, RatCellType=GSM;

After this 2G cells PS is normal, we can use below command to enable the PS IRAT HHO functio
MOD UEXT2GCELL: GSMCellIndex=0, RatCellType=EDGE;
c. 2G Neighbor definition optimization.

Neighbor optimization is a periodic work, in 3G side, we need every 2 weeks to check the neigh
2. 3G TOPN worst cells optimization

To improve the IRAT HHO, we also need consider the 3G network problem, at the condition of th
the below setp to analyze.

a. Alarm is there or not.

b. Get the CS&PS drop reason counter from M2000, from the counter we can know what is the r

c. Check the NodeB packet lose rate.
d. Check the site RTWP is normal or not

e. Do the DT around the issue site, check whether there are overshooting, coverage gap, swap,

3. After the basic information optimization, if the IRAT issue still there, we need do some param
a. 3G IRAT HHO Switch audit.
In 3G RNC side, we have 3 IRAT HHO switch to control this function, so we need make sure this
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: HoSwitch=HO_INTER_RAT_CS_OUT_SWITCH-1&HO_INTER_RAT_PS_O
SET UHOCOMM: CoexistMeasThdChoice=COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTER RAT;
SET UINTERRATHOCOV:

InterRATCSThd2DEcN0=-13, InterRATCSThd2FEcN0=-11, InterRATR99PsThd2DEcN0=-13, InterR

InterRATCSThd2FRSCP=-99, InterRATR99PsThd2DRSCP=-107, InterRATHThd2DRSCP=-107, Inter
b. If the above a is no issue, so we can do the further parameter optimization.

As default, in 3G side, we consider when the 2G signal is more than -95dbm, and the 3G signal
-95dbm for 2G is not a good signal, so we can increase the 2G signal threshold and Inter-RAT HO
command:

MOD UCELLINTERRATHOCOV:
CellId=0, TargetRatCsThd=26, TargetRatR99PsThd=26, TargetRatHThd=26, PenaltyTimeForPhyC
As experience, this command will increase PS IRAT HHO KPI around 0.7%.
For improving more the IRAT KPI, from RNC side, there are 2 parameter also can be changed.
RelocIuRelCmdTmr: A timer to RNC wait for the Iu release command message in relocation proc

T309: T309 is started after the UE is reselected to a cell belonging to another radio access syste
connected in the new cell. The UE will continue the connection to UTRAN upon expiry. Protocol d
So we can modify this 2 parameter as below:
SET USTATETIMER: RelocIuRelCmdTmr=60000;
SET UCONNMODETIMER: T309=8;
I hope this information may be useful in handling such issue in your projects.
