Network:

Heterogeneous deployments
consist of deployments where low
power nodes are placed throughout
a macro-cell layout

Micro: <10Watts
Pico: 1-2Watts
Relay: 200mW [5Watts], no wired
backhaul
Femto: < 200mW

Macro Cell : for coverage

LPN : to increase the throughput:
Key technology : eICIC, Hotspot

Allow intra-frequency handover based on coverage for F1, F2 and F3 cells;

Allow uni-directional inter-freq HHO based on coverage from F2 to F1 at the coverage edge of F2.

Allow uni-directional inter-freq HHO based on coverage from F3 to F1 at the coverage edge of F3;

Configure bi-directional blind handover neighboring cells between F1 and F2, F1 and F3, F2 and F3 in the cells in the same cover age
range.

Configure GSM as neighboring cell for F1, F2 and F3, only configure F1 as neighboring cell for GSM (Only allow GSM handover to F1).

DRD based on loading balance at access phase is activated for HSDPA users (including HSDPA and MIMO users) on both 3 carriers,
loading balance is already executed in the access stage.

Set same LDR strategy for all F1, F2 and F3 carriers:

UL LDR actions: BE service reduction Inter-freq. Handover based on LDR CS Inter-RAT handover
DL LDR actions: Codes reshuffling BE service reduction Inter-freq. Handover based on LDR CS Inter-RAT handover

To improve the user experiences of R99, DRD for R99 services are not recommended.

Advantages of this Strategy

Good user experiences of HSPA, access delay is
small, HSPA service setup success rate is high.
Loading is well balanced between carriers
Big capacity space for MIMO and HSPA services.
