When the UE is in the Idle, or URA_PCH state,


the RNC receives the paging message from the
CN and then sends the paging message of
PAGING TYPE 1 over the PCH channel to the UE.
To improve the chance of receiving the paging
message by the UE, the RNC repeatedly sends
the paging message of PAGING TYPE 1 to the
UE.

Page Indicator

The PCH channel has a corresponding PICH physical


channel. The page indicator (PI) is transmitted over the
PICH channel, with each PI corresponding to a group of
UEs. The following lists the formula for calculating the PI:

PI = DRX Index mod Np


Where:
DRX Index = IMSI div 8192
Np = the number of PIs included in a PICH frame.

Page Indicator

The UE judges whether the network is paging itself by


monitoring its own PI. Each PICH frame can contain the PI
of multiple UEs. The more the parameter Np, the larger the
transmit power of the PICH will be.

Paging Occasion

For saving power, the UE in the Idle or PCH state


monitors the PICH channel in the Discontinuous
Reception (DRX) mode. In the DRX mode, the UE
monitors the PI once every DRX period. That is,
each UE has its own paging occasion (PO). The
UE monitors each PICH frame in the
corresponding SFN and finds its own PI in the
frame according to the calculated PI. Therefore,
the RNC fills in the PI in the message transmitted
over the PICH channel according to the paging
occasion of the UE. DRX period = 2k frames

Paging Occasion

Paging Occasion = {(IMSI div N) mod (DRX cycle length


div PBP)} * PBP + n * DRX cycle length + Frame Offset

Where:
N = number of SCCPCH channels carried over the PCH in a cell
DRX cycle length = 2k frame

DRX cycle length coefficient

When the UE is in the Idle mode, the RNC calculates K in


the DRX period according to Kcs, Kps, and DRX Cycle
Length Coefficient in the paging message from the CN.

For paging messages from the CS domain, K = Min(Kcs,Kps)


For paging messages from the PS domain, if the CN adds DRX
Cycle Length Coefficient to the paging message, K = Min (Kcs,
Kps, DRX Cycle Length Coefficient).If the CN does not add DRX
Cycle Length Coefficient to the paging message, K = Min(Kcs,Kps).

DRX cycle length coefficient

When the UE is in the PCH state, the RNC calculates K in


the DRX period according to Kcs, Kps, KUtran, and DRX
Cycle Length Coefficient in the paging message from the
CN.

For paging messages from the CS domain, K = Min(Kcs,KUtran)


For paging messages from the PS domain, if the CN adds DRX
Cycle Length Coefficient to the paging message, K = Min (Kps,
KUtran, DRX Cycle Length Coefficient). If the CN does not add
DRX Cycle Length Coefficient to the paging message, K =
Min(Kps,KUtran).

PAGING TYPE 2

When the UE is in the DCH or FACH state, the


UTRAN initiates the paging process and sends a
paging message of PAGING TYPE 2 over the
DCCH channel. The UTRAN configures paging
cause in the message. After the UE in the DCH or
FACH state receives the message of PAGING
TYPE 2, it starts the paging reception process and
reports paging cause and paging record type
identifier to the upper layer.

Establishing a RRC Connection over a


Dedicated Transport channel

When receiving the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST


message from a UE, the RNC specifies the channel over
which the RRC connection is to be established according
to the parameter InitRrcOnDch.

If the parameter InitRrcOnDch is set to 0 (Forced to DCH and


Using Normal Speed Signaling) or 1 (Forced to DCH and Using
13.6Kbps signaling), or 5(Forced to DCH and using 27.2Kbps), the
RNC establishes the RRC connection over the DCH channel.
If the parameter InitRrcOnDch is set to 3 (Not Forced, Using
3.4Kbps Signaling on Cell-DCH State) or 4 (Not Forced, Using
13.6kbps Signaling on Cell-DCH State), or 6(Not Forced, Using
27.2Kbps Signaling on Cell-DCH State), the RNC selects to
establish the RRC connection over the DCH according to the
establishment cause in the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST
message.

Establishing a RRC Connection over a


Common Transport channel

When receiving the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST


message from a UE, the RNC specifies the channel over
which the RRC connection is to be established according
to the parameter InitRrcOnDch.

If the parameter InitRrcOnDch is set to 2 (Forced to FACH), the


RNC establishes the RRC connection over the FACH channel.
If the parameter InitRrcOnDch is set to 3 , 4, or 6, the RNC
establishes the RRC connection according to the establishment
cause. If there is only a signaling process, instead of setting up
services(for example, the value of establishment cause is
registration ), RNC will select common channel to bear signaling.

Wireless Link Setup Failure

If the radio link setup fails, the RNC sends the


RRC CONNECTION REJECT message to the UE
and fills in Wait Time in the message. The
parameter Wait Time specifies the duration (from
the reception of the RRC CONNECTION REJECT
message to the time of sending access request)
during which the UE has to wait.

Failure to Receive RRC Connection Setup


Response From UE

If RNC havnt received RRC CONNECTION


SETUP COMPLETE for waiting 5 seconds from
the first transmitting of RRC CONNECTION
SETUP, the RRC connection setup fails. The UE
is still in idle mode.

Releasing the RRC Connection

The connection carrying services data or NAS signaling is released


normally.
The Node B detects radio link failure.
The RNC monitors the RLC connection failure.
The UE in the DCH or FACH state sends CELL UPDATE message.
The value of AM_RLC error indication is true.

Besides, there is no alarm
related to hardware.
The Performance Management
System(PMS) software of NodeB
shows the statistics of
accessing. A large amount of
rejection of access is found,
which occupied the
demodulation resource, causing
the long time to wait for a call

Analysis

Use the signaling trace tools of OMCR, RNC didnt

Use the BMC TRACE, find Rach CRC Error.So,
we make a conclusion that the Preamble

transmit power is very low, and NodeB cannot

Solution

Solution

Change the Preamble Threshold:-24dB -21dB
