Introduction
• Background: Remark: Multi-carrier strategy also include multi-band situation, such as
U900+U2100.
With the steady growth of radio services especially the data services,
operators need to expand the capacity of the live network and add more
carriers are one of the choices. Currently multi-band and multi-carrier
networking has become a main scenario for lots of operator’s live
networks.
According to the analysis of the operators requirements we classify them
into two categories and they are Prefer system capacity and Prefer voice
quality.
Deploying different strategies will meet different operator’s requirements in
different scenarios

Access policy feature – DRD
• In RAN11.0 and earlier versions, DRD is implemented based on blind handover (that is,
the cell signal quality meets certain threshold, but not to measure the target cell).
• In RAN12.0, the original DRD algorithm implementation is kept, and measurement-based
DRD algorithm is added (that is, to measure signals of the target cell). Measurement-
based DRD or DRD of blind handover is based on parameters configuration and currently
measurement-based DRD is closed by default.
DRD Cells
Capability Matching

Cell selection based
on Service Steering
Cell selection
based on Load
Step1: Generates a list of candidate
DRD-supportive inter-frequency
cells with RAB DRD Conditions
Step2: Get the Technical
Priority of the DRD Cells
by MIMO_64QAMorDC-
HSDPA and
MIMOor64QAM.
Step3: The HSDPA Steering
Cell will be selected.
Step4: The DC Group will be decided by comparing the DL Load
between the DC Groups.
And the Anchor Carrier will be selected based on the UL Load of the
2 carriers belonging to the DC Group.
Priority
Take DC service as an example

Load balance policy feature – LDR
When the usage of cell resource exceeds the basic congestion triggering threshold, the cell enters the basic congestion state.
In this case, Load Reshuffling (LDR) is required to reduce the cell load and increase the access success rate. And RNC adopts
the following behaviors until the congestion is removed:
– Inter-frequency load handover
– CS/PS inter-RAT handover
– QoS Renegotiation for
Uncontrollable Real-Time Services
– code reshuffling
– BE rate reduction
– AMR rate reduction

LDR actions intended for different resources
Remarks:
If the downlink power–based admission
uses the ENU algorithm, the basic
congestion can also be caused by the
ENU. In this situation, LDR actions do not
involve AMR rate reduction or MBMS
power reduction, as indicated by the
symbol “*” in the preceding table.

Resources on different carriers may not be
used equally
Due to HSPA carrier’s high load as well as
the DRD, the HSPA setup success ratio may
be deteriorated
Page 9
Strategy -- Pros vs Cons
Cons
AMR and HSPA services are on the same
carriers, the AMR KPI may be deteriorated
AMR and HSPA are separate on different
carriers, the AMR experience will be
guaranteed as much as possible
The AMR carrier load will be relatively low
and the drive test for high signal quality and
coverage will be guaranteed as much as
possible
AMR are basic service for WCDMA. Some operators pay special attention on AMR in order to
satisfy these requirement (Prefer voice quality), HW suggests to use “Preferred Camping
Strategy”.
As the rapid growing of data service, system capacity become much more important than ever
before, in order to help operator to improve HSPA experience (Prefer system capacity) , HW
suggests to use “Random Camping Strategy”

Pros
High system capacity, high carrier efficiency
Less DRD for HSPA, the HSPA RAB setup
success ratio will be guaranteed as much as
possible
As all carriers are used for HSPA, HSPA
experience may be better

• Start Omstar Start UMTS_NetworkAudit Choose items as
below to analyse network strategy and corresponding KPIs
• How to use UMTS_NetworkAudit pls. refer 《UMTS Network

Evaluation– Result to analysis
• According to the NodeB number,
provide Top10 Strategy and as well as
it’s pros and cons
• Is this what you need?
• Provide KPI according to the carrier
• Provide each NodeB’s strategy
• Is this what you need?
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. 华为机密材料,注意发放范围
Case 1 – Strategy analysis using tool example(1)
• Conclusion:
• 94.2% NodeB deploy Random Camping Strategy
• 5.8% NodeB deploy Preferred Camping Strategy
• Why are there so many different strategy? Are they right?
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. 华为机密材料,注意发放范围
Case 1 – Strategy analysis using tool example(2)
• Remark: all the above KPIs are calculated by each cell
• Conclusion:
• F1/F2/F3/F4’s traffic are almost equal and this is reasonable for
Random Camping Strategy
• F5’s deployed in suburb and it’s traffic is lower than other carrier
• Why are there so many different strategy? Are they right?

Case 2 – Strategy Adjust Example
1. In order to improve coverage and signal quality (voice quality) , operator x adjust
it’s network strategy from random camping to preferred camping
2. As expected its drive signal quality improves 1.7% (EcNo>-12dB), AMR call drop
rate reduces 0.05% but PS RAB setup success ratio deteriorates 0.46% and PS
DL throughput reduces 7%

• UEs will camp on U2100 F1/2, G900 and G1800 in idle mode (i.e. Access Layers).
• U900 set as “limited access layer” – UEs can reselect to U900 when coverage of U2100 F1/2 is poor.
Idle UEs on U900 will reselect to F1/2 when within U2100 coverage area.
• U900 layer will be considered as the coverage layer for both CS and PS – only one way for UE to go to
this layer (from all U2100 layers) during Connected Mode is due to coverage (i.e. Inter-Frequency HO).
• Coverage-based Inter-RAT from U2100 layers to G900 is for CS services only.
• Calls end on U2100 F3/4 will be forced to re-select to U2100 F1/F2, U900 or G900 immediately.
• F3 and F4 will be the Non-Access and HS-preferred layers – UEs will only perform HSPA RAB DRD
from F1 to co-sector F2/3/4 cells and from F2 to co-sector F1/3/4 cells.
• Combined 3G services will access at the current 3G cell, where the first service is being served.
• LDR happens 1) between all U2100 layers (bi-directional blind Inter-Frequency HO), and 2) from 3G to
G900 and co-sector G1800 for CS services only (Inter-RAT - only as 4th action for DL LDR).
• Measurement-Based LDR algorithm will be enabled from U900 to U2100 F1/2 (feature can only support
2 target frequencies according to 3GPP).
•Re-selections to the G1800 layer is only possible via the G900 layer.
• Uni-directional traffic handovers are possible from G900 to G1800.
• UEs on G1800 can move to G900 in connected mode due to coverage.
