Feature Description-Background
The popularization of smartphones has brought with it the demand for more combined services. Due to PS services on the network, the
coverage for combined services shrinks and the number of signaling procedures for combined services increases, leading to a higher
call drop rate for combined services.

Problem scenario: New challenges posed by Apps on smartphones, shrinking coverage and higher call drop
rate for combined services

Feature Description-Principle
Feature enhancement in RAN17.1 includes the following improvements to WRFD-140104 Enhanced Combined Services:
RNC-level one-key enabling of combined service procedure optimization functions
Adaptive parameter configuration for combined service
DCH8K is the optimal solution to CS call drops of combined services. Compared with DCH0K, DCH8K consumes one more SF128 code and
an extra of 0.6% non-HSPA power resources. Therefore, DCH8K applies to scenarios where resources are not congested.
DCH0K consumes the least resources but increases the CS call drop rate of combined services compared with DCH8K. Therefore, DCH0K
applies to scenarios where resources are congested.

If a UE processing a CS service attempts to set up a PS service, PS service increase and decrease are allowed. If
no PS service is to be set up, DCH0K or DCH8K is used for the PS service.

 Feature Description-Application Scenarios
This feature applies to CS+PS multi-RAB scenarios, and for CS+PS multi-RAB strategy is chosen to be:
Initial rate type configuration for the PS BE service in the combined service is set to DCH8k. When a large data to be transmit, the PS can
be reconfigured to DCH/HSDPA or HSPA. When there is no data to be transmit, the PS can be reconfigured back to DCH8k.

If CS+PS multi-RAB strategy is set to the following Strategy, this function is not suggest to use:

Configuration 1: Setting the bearer channel type and access rate for PS BE services to DCH0K and prohibiting rate increase for PS BE
services [SET UFRCBeInitBitrateTypeforCsPs=DCH0K; & SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH:
DraSwitch2=DRA_CSPS_0K_RATE_UP_SWITCH-0;]
Configuration 2: Setting the bearer channel type and access rate for PS BE services to DCH channel and prohibiting reconfigure to
HSPA for PS BE services [SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: MapSwitch=MAP_CSPS_PS_UL_USE_DCH_SWITCH-
1&MAP_CSPS_PS_DL_USE_DCH_SWITCH-1;]
Configuration 3: Setting the bearer channel type and access initial rate for PS BE services to DCH 0K, allowed to reconfigure to HSPA
when there is data transmit and reconfigure to DCH 0k when no data transmit.[SET UFRCBeInitBitrateTypeforCsPs=DCH0K; & SET
UDCCC: LittleRateThd=D0; & SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: DraSwitch2=DRA_CSPS_0K_RATE_UP_SWITCH-1;]

Performance Monitoring-Performance Evaluation
After feature activation, collect the following counters on the live network and observe the feature
performance using the following formulas:
CS call drop rate
CS Service Drop Ratio (Cell) = [VS.RAB.AbnormRel.CS/(VS.RAB.AbnormRel.CS +
VS.RAB.NormRel.CS)] x 100%
Call drop rate of CS services in combined services
CS+PS Multi-RAB CS Call Drop Ratio (Cell) =
[VS.MultiRAB.CSAbnormRel.CSPS/(VS.MultiRAB.CSNormRel.CSPS +
VS.MultiRAB.CSAbnormRel.CSPS + VS.MultiRAB.PSNormRel.CSPS)] x 100%
