SRNS Relocation, which is a standardised mobility method

anchoring is supported in Nokia SRNC only for CS RT + PS/NRT services within Cell_DCH

SRNC Anchoring which is not as such a standardised mobility method, but which can be implemented by applying an undefined set of standardised features

Re-location (2/4)
UE Mobility Handling in RAN 3GPP gives two different options to handle inter-RNC mobility in radio network

1. 2.

SRNS Relocation, SRNC Anchoring

When neighbouring DRNC or CN do not support relocation, anchoring is supported in Nokia SRNC only for CS RT services, PS RT data services and for PS NRT data services in CELL_DCH state. In multivendor cases this will lead to limited functionality related to mobility over RNC border between different vendors RNS if the other vendor uses SRNC anchoring

Re-location (4/4)
Failure and Abnormal Release cause at Service Level
RRC setup and access counters are updated during incoming handovers and relocations. If the new RRC connection is established or relocated successfully and if there are RAB connections for the UE, the RAB setup and access counters are updated as well.

Paging Performance in 3G RU10

The packet access procedure in WCDMA should keep the interference caused to other users as small as possible. Since there is no connection between the base station and the UE before the access procedure, initial access is not closed loop power controlled and thus the information transmitted during this period should be kept at minimum.

There are 3 scenarios for WCDMA packet access: infrequent transmission of small packets frequent transmission of small packets and transmission of large packets Packet data transfer in WCDMA can be performed using common, shared or dedicated transport channels.
Since the establishment of a dedicated transport channel itself requires signalling and thus consumes radio resources, it is reasonable to transmit infrequent and small NRT user data packets using common transport channels without closed loop power control. Then the random access channel (RACH) in UL and the forward access channel (FACH) in DL are the transport channels used for packet access

When the packet data is transferred on common channels, the UE is in CELL_FACH state. Large or frequent user data blocks are transmitted using shared or dedicated transport channels (DCH). When the packet data is performed on shared or dedicated channels, the UE is in CELL_DCH state.
20 Nokia Siemens Networks RN31577EN20GLA0

Paging Performance in 3G RU10

Example: Transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH
If UE has Multi-RAB allocated (voice call & NRT PS call) & PS data inactivity detected in RNC L2, RNC triggers reconfiguration from Cell_DCH to Cell_PCH on voice call release. UE stays in Cell_PCH until new data is available in UL or DL L2 buffers. As soon as certain traffic volume threshold is met, RNC may reconfigure the connection to Cell_DCH.

Each UE in Cell-DCH or Cell_FACH substate is allocated DMCU resources in RNC. In case of processing shortage in DMCU units, RNC may move UE to Cell_PCH and release all DSP resources in RNC.

(bit/s) 23 Nokia Siemens Networks RN31577EN20GLA0

Paging Performance
Paging Blocking

A terminal, once registered to a network, has been allocated a paging group. For the paging group there are Paging Indicators (PI) which appear periodically on the Paging Indicator Channel (PICH) when there are paging messages for any of the terminals belonging to that paging group. Once a PI has been detected, the terminal decodes the next PCH frame transmitted on the Secondary CCPCH to see whether there was a paging message intended for it. The terminal may also need to decode the PCH in case the PI reception indicates low reliability of the decision. If network would like to contact into certain user (SIM card) a paging procedure will took place. Paging type 1 can happen either due to mobile terminated call or mobile terminated SMS. First step is to find out where subscriber-B (the called party) is. This means HLR enquiry to subscriber-Bs HLR. HLR will return VLR address where subscriber-B is. VLR will start and act as master to this paging procedure. VLR will know subscriber-Bs location area level. VLR will send paging command to relevant RNCs (via Iu-CS interface), who are handling this LAC where subscriberB is.

Paging Performance in 3G & S-CCPCH config.

Paging Blocking

In the case that a single S-CCPCH has been configured for a cell, the TTI for the paging transport channel is 10 ms while the transport block size is 80 bits and the transport block set size is 1. The S-CCPCH can be used to transmit the transport channels: Forward Access Channel (FACH) and Paging Channel (PCH). In the current implementation (see 3GPP 25.331), the PCH has the priority on FACH so that FACH transport blocks can be sent only if the timeslot is not occupied by paging messages. Thus, the maximum PCH throughput is 80 bits / 10 ms = 8 kbit/s. Since the dimension of a paging message (including 1 paging record) is 80 bits, the maximum paging rate is 100 paging/sec/cell.

Paging Performance in 3G & S-CCPCH config.

Paging buffer

Each IMSI belongs to a paging group, according to the formula Paging group = IMSI mod (DRX cycle length) The paging occasions for each paging group can be
10 ms

group 1 served

group 2 served

group 3 served

group 4 served

group 30 served

group 31 served

group 32 served

group 1 served

group 2 served

10ms * DRX cycle length

In case no buffering is utilized, only 1 paging message related to each paging group would be served at the end of each period of 10 ms * DRX cycle length.

26

Nokia Siemens Networks

RN31577EN20GLA0

Paging Performance - Paging buffer

In the current implementation (RAN04/RAN05), a buffer of 512 places stores the paging messages. When a new paging message arrives and the next paging occasion is already occupied, the paging message is stored in the first free paging occasion belonging to the paging group. The number of places reserved in the buffer to each paging group depends on a hidden parameter and the DRX cycle length: M = window_size / DRX cycle length With window_size=300 and DRX cycle length=32 M=9; with window_size=300 and DRX cycle length=128 M=2. The following figure shows only the paging occasions belonging to the paging group interested by the paging message.

10 ms * DRX cycle length

NOTE: a paging can be buffered for M * DRX cycle length = 9 * 320 ms = 2.88 sec; this time is shorter than the repetition time in CN but could be higher than the repetition time in RNC (when cell-PCH is active).

Paging Performance in 3G
PCH throughput: paging requests blocked
The number of transmitted pagings (on the radio interface) is: paging_requests [pagings/hour] = 3600 * PCH_THROUGHPUT / (80 bits) The number of paging attempts forwarded to be transmitted on PCH is: paging_type_1 [pagings/hour] = PAGING_TYPE_1_ATT_CN_ORIG + PAGING_TYPE_1_ATT_RNC_ORIG PAGING_TYPE_1_ATT_CN_ORIG- indicates the no.of CN originated paging attempts to mobiles in idle state or PCH/URA substate. PAGING_TYPE_1_ATT_RNC_ORIG-indicates the no.of RNC originated paging attempts to mobiles in PCH/URA substate.

The number of paging attempts not sent on air due to congestion of PCH channel is: paging_requests_blocked [paging/hour] = paging_type_1 - paging_requests

Currently, PCH Load is still only10[%] at most. Only linear trend of PCH Load increase can be seen 4% increase during the past 6 months, from 4% to 8% Periodical check of PCH Load is necessary but still it will not reach the max.

Calculations about PCH load can be used to plan the LA/RA areas BUT it should be noted that the paging buffer handling analysis should be included as well.
