Downlink Channel Code Resources
C4,0
The WCDMA network use the codes C2,0 1 1 1 1

whose SF is 4~512. The smaller the 1 1 C4,1


C1,0 1 1 -1 -1
SF is, the higher the supported data
1 C4,2
rate will be. C2,1 1 -1 1 -1

1 -1 C4,3
In the code tree, the allocable codes 1 -1 -1 1

should meet the following conditions:


SF = 1 SF = 2 SF = 4
No codes on the path from this
code to the root node of code tree
are allocated

No codes in the sub-tree whose


root node is this code are allocated

Try to reserve the code words


whose SF is small, so as to
improve the utilization efficiency

Solution for Code Congestion
Code congestion will cause low CSSR of both CS and PS service.
We can check counters as below to find code congestion:
VS.RRC.Rej.Code.Cong
VS.RAB.FailEstabCS.Code.Cong
VS.RAB.FailEstabPS.Code.Cong

Solution
Code congestion will happen in single carrier cell or F1 cell. If single carrier
cell experience very serious code congestion, expanding 2 carriers is
recommended.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. HUAWEI Confidential 12


Solution for Code Congestion
To solve code congestion, we recommend using LDR algorithm also. The MML
configuration is as follows:

Switch on the LDR switch:


MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: CellId=0, NBMLdcAlgoSwitch= CELL_CODE_LDR -1;

Setting LDR action:


MOD CELLLDR: CellId=0, DLLDRFIRSTACTION=CodeAdj,
DLLDRSECONDACTION=BERateRed, DlLdrBERateReductionRabNum=1,
GoldUserLoadControlSwitch=ON;

Downlink Transmit Power
The downlink transmit power has two parts:
one part is used for common channel, and
the other part for dedicated (traffic) channel.

Normal RTWP is 105.9 dBm (112 + 61/10)

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. HUAWEI Confidential 18


Solution for Power Congestion
Power congestion will cause low CSSR of both CS and PS service.
We can check counters as below to find power congestion:
VS.RRC.Rej.ULPower.Cong
VS.RRC.Rej.DLPower.Cong
VS.RAB.FailEstabCS.ULPower.Cong
VS.RAB.FailEstabCS.DLPower.Cong
VS.RAB.FailEstabPS.ULPower.Cong
VS.RAB.FailEstabPS.DLPower.Cong

To check whether UL or DL congestion:


1. Check the Max Tx power of the congested cell
Add cellsetup:cellid=1111, maxtxpower=430
2. Check counter VS.MeanTCP and VS.MeanTCP.NonHS and calculate the
utility ratio to check whether the utility ratio is very high.
3. Monitor the RTWP to check whether RTWP is very high.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. HUAWEI Confidential 19


Solution for Power Congestion
Currently for uplink we use Equivalent Number of User (ALGORITHM_SECOND) to do
CAC; for downlink we use TCP (ALGORITHM_FIRST) to do CAC. According to our
CAC strategy, first make sure some basic parameters should be configured as follows:
ADD CELLALGOSWITCH: CellId=0,
NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch=ALGORITHM_SECOND,
NBMDlCacAlgoSelSwitch=ALGORITHM_FIRST;

Solution for Uplink Power Congestion:


1. Increase Equivalent Number of User
MOD CELLCAC: CellId=0, UlTotalEqUserNum=150;
2. For single carrier cells or F1 cells, use LDR algorithm:
Switch on the LDR switch:
MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: CellId=0, NBMLdcAlgoSwitch=UL_UU_LDR-1;
Setting LDR action:
MOD CELLLDR: CellId=0, UlLdrFirstAction=BERateRed,

Solution for Power Congestion
Solution for Downlink Power Congestion:
1. Raise the power congestion threshold
MOD CELLCAC: CellId=0, DlConvAMRThd=85, DlConvNonAMRThd=85,
DlOtherThd=83, DlHOThd=87, DlCellTotalThd=93;
2. For single carrier cells, we can use downlink LDR:

Channel Element (CE)
The Channel element the quantitative data that measures the
resources logically occupied for service processing

The resource occupied by the service processing is mainly related


to the spreading factor of this service. The smaller the SF is, the
greater the data traffic will be, and more resources will be occupied

The SF of typical services are:

AMR12.2kbps SF=128

CS64kbps SF=32

PS64kbps SF=32

PS144kbps SF=16

Solution for CE Congestion
CE congestion will cause low CSSR of both CS and PS service.
We can check counters as below to find CE congestion:
VS.RRC.Rej.ULCE.Cong
VS.RRC.Rej.DLCE.Cong
VS.RAB.FailEstabCS.ULCE.Cong
VS.RAB.FailEstabCS.DLCE.Cong

IuB Utilization

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. HUAWEI Confidential 34


Solution for IuB Congestion
IuB congestion will cause low CSSR of both CS and PS service.
We can check counters as below to find IuB congestion:
VS.RRC.Rej.ULIUBBand.Cong
VS.RRC.Rej.DLIUBBand.Cong
VS.RAB.FailEstabCS.DLIUBBand.Cong
VS.RAB.FailEstabCS.ULIUBBand.Cong
VS.RAB.FailEstabPS.DLIUBBand.Cong
VS.RAB.FailEstabPS.ULIUBBand.Cong

Solution
The best solution is to expand the IUB band. Other solutions are just
temporary methods to remain the KPI.
When IUB congestion is detected, first we need check the IUB utility ratio, if
utility ratio is very small but still congestion, it may caused by wrong
transmission configuration.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. HUAWEI Confidential 35


Solution for IuB Congestion
Usually we can modify the FTI of the congested NodeB. MML is as follow:
1. Find the FTI of the NodeB.
ADD ADJNODE: ANI=33, NAME="nodeB", NODET=IUB,
NODEBID=1111, TRANST=ATM;
ADD ADJMAP: ANI=33, ITFT=IUB, TRANST=ATM,
CNMNGMODE=SHARE, TMIGLD=1, TMISLV=2, TMIBRZ=1, FTI=4;

2. Change the FTI of the NodeB to 20.


MOD ADJMAP: ANI=33, ITFT=IUB, TRANST=ATM,
CNMNGMODE=SHARE, TMIGLD=1, TMISLV=2, TMIBRZ=1, FTI=20;

Example
FTI=4 =>100%
FTI=20 => 50%

WCDMA radio interface has three
kinds of channels
In terms of protocol layer, the WCDMA radio interface has three
channels: Physical channel, transport channel and logical channel.
Logical channel: Carrying user services directly. According to the types
of the carried services, it is divided into two types: Control channel and
service channel.
Transport channel: It is the interface of radio interface layer 2 and
physical layer, and is the service provided for MAC layer by the
physical layer. According to whether the information transported is
dedicated information for a user or common information for all users, it
is divided into dedicated channel and common channel.
Physical channel: It is the ultimate embodiment of all kinds of
information when they are transmitted on radio interfaces. Each kind of
channel which uses dedicated carrier frequency, code (spreading code
and scramble) and carrier phase (I or Q) can be regarded as a
dedicated channel.

Intra-frequency Measurement Events

Intra-frequency measurement events are identified


through 1X. They include:
1A: A primary pilot channel enters the reporting range. Means a monitored
cell is good enough that the UE can add it into active set.

1BA primary pilot channel leaves the reporting range. Means a cell in the
active set is not good enough according to the best cell.

1C: Substitution event. A primary pilot channel in an monitor set is better than
that in the active set.

1D: Event of changing the best serving cell.

1F: Event that measurement results of the cells in the active set are lower
than the absolute threshold.

Para. Optimization Target
Para. optimization
is an important step
after RF optimization
To reduce access failures

To reduce drop calls

To enhance service quality

Service quality and network resources


utilization
will be improved after para. optimization

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. HUAWEI Confidential 95


Parameters to be Optimized

CCCH power allocation para.

RL maximum power para. Seldom adjusted

Cell re-selection para.

Intra-freq. handover para.


An effective way to
Inter-RAT handover para. reduce drop calls

Power control para.

Access power para. The influence caused by the cell


parameters adjustment should
Other related para. be analyzed carefully.
