Strategy 1:

F2 cell is barred to force UE to camp on F1 in idle mode.

After service released in F2 cell, UE come back to F1 cell.

when UE hang up in F2 cell, maybe UE will display “no service ” for a

short time because F2 is barred.

Reselect F1 after finish a call on F2





Strategy 1


Connected mode mobility strategy (1/2)

• F1 R99 calls are soft handover between intra-freq cells.

• F2 HSDPA Cell change between intra-freq cells if there exists continuous F2

coverage.

• In hotspots, HSDPA calls are DRD from F1 to F2.

RNC








value.






Both F1 and F2 can establish

and carry on HSPA service.

Balance load between F1 and F2

Keep DRD attempt in low

quantity and it is good KPI for

access.

Advantage

R99 and HSPA service establish in same

cell, it would bring service interference

each other, and it should be affect the call

drop of AMR.

F2 should be covered in a large

continuous area, otherwise it is not good

feeling for AMR when the CS users hard

handover between the inter frequency.

Disadvantage



Strategy 1


Strategy 3

Strategy 4


Camp on F1 in idle mode

Cell reselection make UE

camp on F1 cell in advance

by setting the threshold and

offset for inter-frequency

cell reselection in idle mode .

Or forcibly camp：F2 cell is

barred to force UE to camp

on F1 in idle mode. (not

recommend)

Idle Mode Strategy

Open the LDR algorithm,

and set the LDR action

as following:

Uplink: BE reduction->inter-

Freq load HO->CS inter-RAT

load HO

Downlink: Code Adjustment-

> BE reduction->inter-Freq

load HO->CS inter-RAT load

HO

Connected mode Strategy

Open DRD algorithm switch;

Close combined service DRD

switch.

The SPG for R99 is same for

F2&F1

The SPG for HSPA on F2 is

higher than F1.

DCH Load balance DRD: OFF

HSDPA Load balance DRD: OFF

Conditions：Continuous coverage for F1, not continuous coverage for F2 F1 & F2 can support the R99 and HSPA (recommend) or F1 support R99 and F2 support HSPA (not recommend)

Set the LDR and DCCC algorithm switch: MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: NBMLdcAlgoSwitch=UL_UU_LDR-1&DL_UU_LDR-

SET CORRMALGOSWITCH: ChSwitch=DCCC_SWITCH-1,

DlLdrThirdAction=InterFreqLDHO, DlLdrFourthAction=CSInterRatShouldBeLDHO,

UlLdrFirstAction=BERateRed, UlLdrSecondAction=InterFreqLDHO,

UlLdrThirdAction=CSInterRatShouldNotLDHO;


RNC








value.




7. Cell reselection make UE camp on F1 cell in advance by setting the

threshold and offset for inter-frequency cell reselection in idle

mode.

F1: MOD UCELLSELRESEL: CellId=xxxxxx, IdleSintersearch=0;

F2: MOD UCELLSELRESEL: CellId=xxxxxx, IdleSintersearch=9;

F1->F2: ADD INTERFREQNCELL: RncId=x, CellId=xxxxx, NCellRncId=x, NCellId=xxxxx,

IdleQoffset1sn=50, IdleQoffset2sn=50;

F2->F1: ADD INTERFREQNCELL: RncId=x, CellId=xxxxx, NCellRncId=x, NCellId=xxxxx,

IdleQoffset1sn=-50, IdleQoffset2sn=-50;



The interference is small

between the HSPA service and

the AMR.

It should be good feeling for

R99 service when F2 is not

continuous coverage, because

the R99 service does not hard

handover in this area.

Advantage

The HSPA accessibility should be affect by

the DRD.

The HSPA call drop should be increase

when HSPA service move with the hard

handover in these not continuous

coverage area for F2.

PS call drop should be increase when

opening the function of state transition.

F2 configure inter-Freq unidirectional neighbor to F1 in the border covered by F2;

The R99 service does not hard

handover in not continuous

coverage area for F2;

The resource of two carriers

should be used fully.

Advantage

There are half HSPA users on F1, and it

will interfere the AMR users.

The accessibility should be affect by the

half users DRD

It should be ease congestion in F1 when

there are many traffic for R99 in F1, and it

is bad feeling for HSPA service in F1.

PS call drop should be increase when

opening the function of state transition.

Disadvantage
