Case Description

When the UE moves from the


coverage area on Shuqian
Road site (PSC: 436) to that
of Meihuacun Hotel site
(PSC:434), signals on
Shuqian Road site (PSC: 436)
deteriorate due to the
blocking of the dual-deck
viaduct. However, the
Meihuacun Hotel site
(PSC:434) enters the active
set slowly for the high
threshold. Therefore, the
handover success rate is low.

Adjustment Suggestion for Handover


Parameters

Adjust the handover threshold and Time to Trigger parameters


of Event 1A and Event 1B: reduce the handover threshold and
Time to Trigger parameters of Event 1A, so that cells with
better signal quality can enter the active set as soon as
possible; raise the handover threshold and Time to Trigger
parameters of Event 1B, so that cells within the active set
would be removed for sudden fading of signals.

Effect after the optimization:


After the optimization, cell 434 on Meihuacun Hotel site can
speedily enter the active set and cell 436 on Shuqian Road site
would be removed from the active set due to the sudden fading
of signals. Drive test after the parameter adjustment shows that
the success rate of handovers between Shuqian Road site and
Meihuacun Hotel site is greatly improved.

Case Description

In this case, the UE would move in the directions


marked by the red arrow in the following figure. If
call drop happens, the two sites nearby would be
marked as BKC0044U and BKCOO74U.

Case Study (1)

The main serving cell of the UE is the third cell


(SC53) of site BKC0074U, its Ec/Io is -9.83dB.

Case Study (2)

As the UE moves on, the main serving cell changes to the third
cell (SC48) of site BKC0044U, its Ec/Io is -10.31dB. Cell SC53
of site BKC0074U is removed from the active set and enters
the monitoring set.

Case Study (3)

After 1s, the signal quality of cell SC53 of site BKC0074U is stronger
than cell SC48 of site BKC0044U, and the Ec/Io of SC48 reaches 2.39dB. Cell SC48 reports to Event 1A and tries to enter the active set
again. At this moment, the pilot quality of the cell SC48 of site
BKC0044U is very bad, with its Ec/Io down to -21.05dB. The UE reports
to Event 1A, but cannot receive the handover command, then the call
drops.

Optimization Solution

To avoid the condition that cell SC53 of site


BKC0074U cannot enter the active set after being
removed, the value of CellIndivOffset(utranCell) of
cell SC53 of site BKC0074U is changed from 0dB to
3dB to prevent the cell from being removed from the
active set.

Verification of Optimization Effect (1)


The UE moves in the arrow direction in a call-hold mode, and its main serving
cell is cell SC53 of site BKC0074U.
Then the signal quality of cell SC53 of
site BKC0074U declines, with Ec/Io down
to -13.23dB, which is worse than that of
cell SC48 of site BKC0044U. Then, the
main serving cell of the UE changes to
cell SC48, but cell SC53 remains in the
active set.

Verification of Optimization Effect (2)

In the end, the main serving cell of the UE changes back to cell SC53
as shown in the following figure, and no call-drop happens.

Measurement Criteria for Cell Reselection

If Sx > Sintrasearch, the UE need not perform the intra-frequency


measurement.
If Sx <= Sintrasearch, the UE performs the intra-frequency
measurement.
If Sintrasearch is not sent to the serving cell, the UE performs the
intra-frequency measurement.

If Sx > Sintersearch, the UE need not perform the inter-frequency


measurement.
If Sintrasearch is not sent to the serving cell, the UE performs the
inter-frequency measurement.

If Sx > SsearchRATm, the UE need not perform the measurement


among cells adopting different radio technologies.
If Sx <= SsearchRATm, the UE performs the measurement within
RATm cells.
If SsearchRATm is not sent to the serving cell, the UE performs the
measurement within RATm cells.

Cell Reselection Criteria

Cell queuing criteria R:

Rs Qmeas,s + Qhysts
Rn Qmeas,nQoffsets,n

Rs: R value of the serving cell


Rn: R value of neighbor cells
Qmeas: measured value of the cell signals (for FDD cells, CPICH Ec/No or
CPICH RSCP is adopted)
Qoffset1s,n: offset value between two cells (used when Qmeas of FDD cells is
set to CPICH RSCP)
Qoffset2s,n: offset value between two cells (used when Qmeas of FDD cells is
set to CPICH Ec/No)
Qhyst1s: hysteresis value (used when Qmeas of FDD cells is set to CPICH
RSCP)
Qhyst2s: hysteresis value (used when Qmeas of FDD cells is set to CPICH
Ec/No)
Treselection: value for the cell reselection timer
The UE would sort all cells satisfying criteria S for cell selection based on their R values.
The optimal cell would have the highest R value. Within the Treselection threshold, if
the queuing order of a new cell is better than the current serving cell of the UE, and the
UE has been camped in this serving cell for more than 1s, then the UE would select
this new cell as its serving cell.

Inter-RAT Reselection (Case 1)

Case Description
Wide coverage of 2G network: Frequent 2G/3G Ping-pong
handovers occur at the boundary of the 3G coverage area.
Case Study
Check all parameters of the 2G network. For all GSM cells
configured with 3G neighbor cells, set their Qsearch_I
parameters to 7, FDD_Qmin to 0, and FDD_Qoffset to 0.
Qsearch_I=7 means that the inter-RAT measurement is
performed unconditionally. FDD_Qmin represents the signal
quality of WCDMA cell, and works as one of the judging criteria
for cell reselection. For FDD_Qmin=0, 0 is a logic value, and
the corresponding absolute value is Ec/N0=-20dB.
In the 3G network, Qqualmin=-18, SsearchRAT=2, and
Qqualmin+ SsearchRAT=-16dB.
Severe Ping-pong handovers exist within the GSM network,
the signals jitter greatly.
For 2G/3G co-site and co-antenna, the cell edges of 2G and
3G cells overlap.

Inter-RAT Reselection (Case 2)

Solution
Set FDD_Qmin of the corresponding 2G cells to 7, and the
corresponding absolute value is -12dB. Then the ping-pong
effect is solved.
Optimization Criteria
The cell reselection criterion at the 2G side must ensure that
when the UE is handed over to the 3G network, the signal
quality of the 3G cells can support the UE. In this case, the cell
reselection criterion is set to -12dB.
In the 3G network, Qqualmin=-18, SsearchRAT=2, and
Qqualmin+ SsearchRAT=-16dB. This setting ensures that the
UE remains in the 3G network when 3G cells are available.
The reselection criterion changes the serving radius of the cell
to a certain degree. Thus, this parameter must be set
reasonably.
Certain margin must be reserved for the bi-directional
reselection threshold to avoid the ping-pong effect. (In this
case, the margin is 4dB.)

Case Description

The RRC establishment success rate for the first cell


of site PHGV is low. Usually less than 50% of the
RRC establishments are successful.

Case Study

We trace the PMS measurement on the OMC, and


then we find that signaling of radio link addition
failure exists. Then it is found out that the cell radius
is set to 40km. In this condition, large amounts of UL
resources are consumed.

Experiences

Cell radius would influence the UL coverage. The larger cell


radius is set, the larger the UL coverage and the search
window will be. Meanwhile, the consumed resources would
also increase. Therefore, the setting of cell radius would have
greater impacts on the system performance. The cell radius
must be set based on specific radio environment.
At the initial stage of the network construction, the number of
subscribers is small, then the cell radius can be set to a large
value to ensure the coverage. For network under commercial
operation, the site spacing becomes small. Under this condition,
a large cell radius would become meaningless, and it should
be adjusted based on the network construction condition. Note
that the random access parameter should be changed
accordingly.

After MPO adjustment, DPA rate increases


obviously. The occupancy of DPA rate larger
than 3.5M changes from 38% to 57%, and the
occupancy of DPA rate smaller than 1M
changes from 25% to 12.5%, which
contributes greatly to the improvement in
HSDPA service restricted area.

Summary of MPO Optimization

After MPO adjustment, HSDPA service performance


is greatly improved. Both average rate and service
blind spots are greatly perfected.

Event 1D Triggering Condition

Event 1D indicates that there is a cell outside the active set, which has
better quality than the cells in the active set, i.e., the best cell in the
band changes. Upon the receiving of Event 1D, soft handover (cell
outside the active set reports Event 1D and the link number in the
active set does not reach its maximum), soft replacement (cell outside
the active set reports Event 1D and the link number in the active set
reaches its maximum) will be triggered or the best serving cell will
change (for HS-DSCH/E-DCH channel). When the cell satisfies the
following formula, and Time to Trigger duration is long, UE will report
1D to RNC.

HSDPA HandoverImpact on Download Rate

There are mainly two aspects:

Handover punctuality
Handover frequency

Handover Punctuality Impact on Download Rate

HS-DSCH related physical channels do not support


soft handover. HS-DSCH services consume
relatively greater code resources, and HS-DSCH
transmission is based on packet scheduling and
does not support multi-cell transmitting data to one
subscriber. Therefore untimely handover will lead to
the deterioration of HS-PDSCH quality and the
decrease of CQI value reported by the UE, which
will result in a deterioration of the download rate.
Ensuring the timely handover is important for
HSDPA download rate optimization.

Handover Frequency Impact on Download Rate

HSDPA does not support soft handover, and services will be


interrupted shortly if cell update and channel handover are
initiated. Frequent hard handover will change HSDPA
download rate and the throughput. Therefore, reducing hard
handover is a primary method to increase HSDPA download
rate.

Reducing hard handover number and increasing handover


punctuality is contradictory, thats why too frequent Event 1D
will cause Ping-pong effect and reduce the download rate.
Therefore, the optimization of handover parameters will make
HSDPA download rate reach the highest value, and handover
frequency and punctuality become reasonable.

Event 1D Related Parameters

In order to know Event 1D triggering threshold


impact on HSDPA download throughput, in intrafrequency measurement we change hysteresis
value and Time to Trigger value and keep other
parameter value unchanged, the existing network
parameters relating to 1D are shown in the following

Test Comparison Result (1)

DT data shows that when hysteresis value is 4 and


Time To Trigger is 640ms, the performance is the
best: downloading rate is 4.484Mbps; handover
number is 69 which is a relatively small number;
average CQI value is 24.80 which indicates that it
has a good downlink service channel quality and the
handover is timely.

When configuring parameter 4, handover number is 80, but CQI reported by UE is 24.46,
and throughput is 4.29mbps, which indicate that the handover is unpunctual, and the
primary serving cell is not the best cell. When configuring parameter 3, handover number
is 96, but CQI reported by UE is 25.05, which indicate that the handover is punctual, and
the primary serving cell is the best cell, and the rate is higher than that of parameter 4.

Keep the primary serving cell with good coverage, because frequent
handovers will affect the throughput. When CQI is relatively low, less
handover number will lead to a higher rate.

Handover Impact on Download Throughput

To explain handovers impaction downloading throughput, we select parameter


1 (2320) and parameter 6 (4640) to be set in a small scenario to make a
comparison.

Average throughput is 4474.33Kbps and average CQI


is 25.22 (parameter 6)

Average throughput is 4352.98Kbps and average


CQI is 24.85(parameter 1)

In the area, the handover number of parameter 6 is smaller than that of


parameter 1, but throughput and CQI increase, which indicates that reasonable
handover number and area are good for throughput increment.

Para

If the parameter configuration is (4640ms), the test shows that it brings a good result,
but at crossroads, the testing result is not the best, and parameter configuration (3.
320ms) can bring good testing result.

Parameter Configuration at Crossroads 2

Signals at the corner changes swiftly, and signals


are easily mutated, which requests UE to quickly
respond to the change of signals. Comparatively
small hysteresis and Time to Trigger can satisfy the
requirement. As shown in the experimental result,
CQI of configuration (3,320) is higher than that of
configuration (4, 640) , i.e., configuration (3,320) can
better satisfy the quick handover requirements at
crossroads.
From above, conclusion can be made: handover
parameter configuration is closely related to the
radio environment. Handover parameters shall be
changed according to the radio environment, thus
network optimization can achieve the best result.

Experiences

The method to control handover number is to adjust Event 1D


triggering threshold. Through Event 1D threshold adjustment,
handover punctuality can be guaranteed and handover
frequency can be reduced, and the target of HSDPA handover
optimization is reached.

From the test, we can see in dense urban area, hysteresis


value shall be set to 4 and Time To Trigger to 640ms.

Radio environment is varying. We shall configure the handover


parameters based on the actual environment to ensure that
UEs handover is performed at proper time and that the
download rate is the highest.

RRC Connection Setup Success Rate has always


been a very important indicator in all WCDMA KPIs.
When UE initiates the network connection, RRC
connection shall be established firstly. If the user
access is difficult or impossible, there will be
enormous complaints. Therefore, how to improve
RRC connection setup success rate becomes very
important in KPI-related work.

FACH Power Modification

In P project, RRC connection setup success rate is relatively


low. Take RNC203 to make a test, and change Maximum
FACH Power (dB) from 1.0 to 2.5.

RRC Connection Setup Success Rates

Make observance of RRC connection setup success


rate for four days, and find that 0.45% increase is
obtained, as shown below:

Other Indicators - Call Drop Rate

is quite normal, as shown below:

Conclusion and Suggestions

Case Conclusion:

Generally if FACH power is increased to 2.5dB, RRC


connection setup success rate is increased by 0.45%,
and other indicators are quite normal.

Suggestions:

1. ACH power can be set too high, which will lead to


the waste of the downlink power resources and bring
interference to other radio links.
2. Its recommended that FACH power is not changed.
If RRC connection setup rate is comparatively low, try
increasing FACH power gradually upon demands, and
the change of RRC connection setup success rate
and other indicators shall be carefully observed at all
times.
