1 Summary
This document will describe the Directed Retry to GSM functionality and test
performed in a live high traffic cell for a certain event.
2 Scope
Directed Retry applies an one way diversion from WCDMA to GSM. That
means Speech calls that have no ongoing packet connection are the only
service that are targeted.
3 Description
Through this document will determine the procedure to verify, if the direct retry
is enabled or disabled, and how it done possible.
Attempts to off-load “new” traffic from the WCDMA cell to a GSM one.
Speech calls that have no ongoing packet connection are the only service that are targeted.
Initiated at call setup stage, takes place at RAB Assignment Request (before the RAB is setup).
Triggered by “Downlink Transmitted Carrier Power” value (i.e. non-HS power usage).
It is recommended to only use this feature when there is congestion in the UMTS cell due
to lack of downlink power, and should not be used to try and move all CS traffic from UMTS
cell to GSM cell (i.e. Service Based HO feature).
directedRetryTarget (cel) - One GSM cell can be defined for each WCDMA cell via this
parameter.
It is a blind handover so it is important that the target GSM cell has the same (or better)
coverage area as the UTRAN cell, otherwise the handover may fail.

Parameter: directedRetryTarget

One GSM cell can be defined for each WCDMA cell via this parameter.
It is a blind handover so it is important that the target GSM cell has the same (or better) coverage
area as the UTRAN cell.
Example:
Parameter: loadSharingGsmThreshold
loadSharingGsmThreshold
Specifies the minimum load at which off-load to GSM begins. The load of a cell is given by its
downlink transmitted power (nonHS). This threshold is expressed as a percentage of the
admission limit for downlink transmitted cell power (as given by the cell parameter pwrAdm).
loadSharingGsmThreshold = 50%, means off-loading starts as soon as the cell load rises above
50% of the admission limit.
Offloading will start when the carrier power of the cell is above 40 [dBm]

pwrAdm=80
%
loadSharingGsmFraction
Specifies the percentage of new calls (directed retry candidates) to be diverted to GSM while the
cell load is above the specified load threshold.
loadSharingGsmFraction = 100%, means that all calls qualified for Directed Retry will be
diverted.
loadSharingGsmFraction = 50%, means that the 50% of calls qualified for Directed Retry will be
diverted.
The load is shared between WCDMA and GSM by sending RAB Assignment Reject
Messages with ‘Directed retry’ as the cause for Speech only calls. The CN will redirect the
call to the GSM cell. The CN will reinitiate the RAB procedure if the GSM connection fails.

The redirection is triggered by a transmitted DL power threshold which is not ideal for
situations where DL power is not the cause of congestion; however a suitable DL power
threshold may be established for other forms of cell congestion.
Because it is only possible to define one GSM target, it is also very important to ensure that
the GSM cell has the same or better coverage area than the WCDMA cell and has enough
capacity to handle the additional speech traffic.
Off Loading threshold should be set on 37.5dBm, as it can be seen on the graph.
pwrAdm = 80%
Then:
5 Conclusion
After Directed Retry activation, the Rab Establishment Attempts Failures due to Lack of UL
Hardware went down to zero, but at the same time, the use of the WCDMA cell was
decreased because the threshold for Off Loading was set to low (5.6W of the 27.5W), this
means, very low cell capacity.
Due to the non correlation between the Directed Retry trigger, that is Transmitted Carrier
Power Non HS, and the UL congestion due to lack of Hardware, it is difficult to establish a
power limit to start the Off Loading of the WCDMA cell when there is a hardware
congestion.
It is recommended to use this feature when the congestion in the cell is due to lack of
downlink power, and set the parameter loadSharingGsmThreshold = 75%, which is Off
Loading = 42dBm = 16W.
