RRC Fail analysis — Extended coverage overlap inter-LAC/RAC by U900
As showed in LYON16 which is divided in two RNCs/LACs (HWA_690461_6/LAC 49549; HWA_690461_3/LAC 49541). The
following picture shows the variety of LACs on LYON16 and surrounding sites.

Extended U900 coverage worse the Overlap between LAC and RAC.
As it can be seen there are many inter-LAC which are causing high number of registration failures:

RAB CS analysis — Proposals on RB Activation time in combined service

 RsvdPara4 under URRRSVDPARA

Meaning: The RsvdPara4 parameter in the MML command SET

URRRSVDPARA is now used to specify the estimated retransmission
rate of signaling packets for combined services. This parameter is
used in the calculation of the activation time for combined services.
The activation time increases with the parameter value.
Proposal: Because of too many combined service, it is proposed to
set as 5.
SET URRRSVDPARA: RsvdPara4=5; (Real value 50%)
 More details please refer to following slide

RAB CS analysis — Proposals on RB Activation time in combined service
 In Huawei system both Considering the IUB transmission condition and RB SETUP message size,
the RB activation timer is calculated by the following way: ucActTimeAdjust = ((ulRbSize + 15) / 16)
*(1＋T0) * TTI/10 + 2*TTI/10+ ucOamGuardVal +1.5*usMaxRtDelay ;

 T0 corresponding to RsvdPara4

 Considering both pch and EFD/FD feature is enabled, there are many Multi-RAB service, and the
message RB setup will be bigger in multi-RAB scenarios, we suggest to increase the SRB RLC PDU
retransmission rate from 0% to 50% to optimize the RB Setup in multi-RAB scenario. In this case
more transmission and radio resources could be used for SRB RLC PDU retransmission.

RAB CS analysis — Proposals on RB Activation time in single service

 MidRateRlActTimeDefOffVal

Meaning: Default time offset used for activating a new configuration if

the reconfigured RL transmits signaling at a rate of 13.6 kbit/s. If this
parameter is set to a very large value, the activation duration prolongs
and UE has enough time to receive the RB setup message
completely and this behavior will increase the RAB success rate in
bad coverage.
Proposal: it is proposed to set from40 to 80.

 RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT3-1:If Directed Retry Decision
(DRD) is performed when a UE sets up a service, its signaling
radio bearers (SRBs) must be carried on the DCH during setup.

SRBs to switch from the DCH to an HSPA channel is initiated
soon after measurement control messages on the Uu interface
are sent.

RAB CS&PS analysis — Proposals On Call Re-establish in R14
 As showed below, most RAB fail due to SRB Reset and Overlap Back

 It is proposed to upgrade to R14 and activate Call re-establishment function

available in R14.
Function: The RNC reestablishes a radio link (RL) for the UE when the RNC
detects a signaling radio bearer (SRB) reset at layer 2 (L2) or Receive Cell
Update message during RB setup

IFHO/ISHO — Proposals

 Optimization should be based on real tuning result and consideration of Call Drop
performance.

 It is proposed to increase target threshold to avoid unnecessary handovers and at the

same time by close monitoring to insure no impact on call drop.

 Increase TargetFreqCsThdEcN0/TargetFreqCsThdRscp from -12/-115 to -10/-105

MOD UCELLINTERFREQHOCOV: CellId=F1/F2/U900, TargetFreqCsThdEcN0=-10,

TargetFreqCsThdRscp=-105;

 Increase TargetFreqR99PsThdRscp/TargetFreqHThdRscp from -115 to -105

MOD UCELLINTERFREQHOCOV: CellId=F0/F1/F2/U900, TargetFreqHThdRscp=-105,

TargetFreqR99PsThdRscp=-105;

 Increase TargetFreqR99PsThdEcN0/TargetFreqHThdEcN0 from -16 to -14

MOD UCELLINTERFREQHOCOV: CellId=F0/F1/F2/U900, TargetFreqHThdEcN0=-14,

TargetFreqR99PsThdEcN0=-14;

 Considering various strategy SFR network adopt, It is meaningless to consider

IFHO&ISHO as important KPI while handover fail not necessarily cause call drop.
