Inter-Frequency

Background
In a network with multiple frequency bands, high frequency bands have poorer coverage than
low frequency bands and some areas are out of the coverage of high frequency bands, as
shown in Figure 1-1. In addition, frequencies of high frequency bands have higher reselection
priorities than those of low frequency bands.

SONMaster
LTE MLB Feature Description 1 Overview

Figure 1-1 Network of multiple frequency bands

NOTE
The value range of reselection priority is 0 to 7. A larger value indicates higher reselection priority.

In inter-frequency sectors that share the same site, UEs in idle mode at the center of the
sectors preferentially camp on cells of high-priority frequencies and UEs in idle mode at the
edge of the sectors camp on cells of low-priority frequencies because high-priority
frequencies have limited coverage capability. Considering the uneven UE distribution, if most
UEs distribute at the center of the sectors, excessive UEs camp on cells of high frequency
bands, resulting in signaling congestion. At the same time, fewer UEs camp on cells of low
frequency bands, resulting in improper usage of network resources.
NOTE
Co-sector: The concept of co-sector indicates that used in inter-frequency neighboring cell measurement. The
identification criteria of co-sector configuration are as follows: If the difference between two cells' locations
indicated by latitudes and longitudes is less than 50 m, and the difference between their antenna azimuths is
less than 15 degrees, the two cells are regarded as co-sector co-coverage cells.

Mobility Load Balancing - LTE Idle Mode Inter-Frequency adjusts the inter-frequency
reselection parameters periodically so that UEs in idle mode distribute appropriately among
multiple frequencies. This reduces signaling congestion caused by imbalanced inter-frequency
traffics and addresses the problem of imbalanced usage of air interfaces.

Definition
Mobility Load Balancing - LTE Idle Mode Inter-Frequency adjusts inter-frequency reselection
parameters periodically so that network traffics appropriately distribute among multiple
frequencies, which improves network resource usage and user satisfaction.

Mobility Load Balancing - LTE Idle Mode Inter-Frequency provides the following
optimization methods:
l Automatic optimization: The SONMaster automatically generates optimization advice
and performs parameter optimization without manual intervention.
l Scheduled delivery: The SONMaster automatically generates optimization advice and
performs parameter optimization as scheduled.
l Manual optimization: Users confirm the optimization advice generated by the
SONMaster. Then, the SONMaster performs parameter optimization based on the
confirmed optimization advice.

2.1 Related Concepts


Cell reselection refers to the process that a UE in idle mode reselects a cell to camp on. Signal
strength and frequency reselection priority affect cell reselection. For example, a UE camps
on a cell normally. When moving to an area with poor signal, it performs cell reselection and
camps on another cell with stronger signal strength. The procedure for cell reselection is as
follows:
1. The UE measures the serving cell and adjacent cells (including intra-frequency, inter-
frequency, and inter-RAT cells) when the requirements for starting measurements are
met.
2. The UE determines whether the signals of the serving cell and adjacent cells meet the
requirements for cell reselection based on the measurement results. If so, the UE
performs cell reselection and camps on a new cell.

Common scenarios for cell reselection are as follows:

l Cell reselection from a cell of high-priority frequency to that of low-priority frequency

Figure 2-1 Cell reselection from a cell of high-priority frequency to that of low-priority
frequency

a. Starting measurement: When the signal level of the serving cell (with a high
reselection priority) SServingCell is smaller than or equal to Snonintrasearch, the UE start
measurement.
b. Reselecting cells: Cell reselection is triggered if the following conditions are met:
n SServingCell < Threshserving,low for the signal level of the serving cell.
n STargetCell > Threshx,low for the signal level of the adjacent cell.
l Cell reselection from a cell of low-priority frequency to that of high-priority frequency

Figure 2-2 Cell reselection from a cell of low-priority frequency to that of high-priority
frequency

a. Starting measurement: When the signal level of the serving cell SServingCell is larger
than Snonintrasearch, the UE searches high-priority frequencies periodically. When the
signal level of the serving cell SServingCell is smaller than or equal to Snonintrasearch,
the UE directly starts the search for high-priority frequencies.
b. Reselecting cells: Cell reselection is triggered if the condition is met
STargetCell>Threshx,high.
l Cell reselection between equal-priority cells

Figure 2-3 Cell reselection between equal-priority cells

a. The measurement is performed if the following condition is met: SServingCell ≤


Snonintrasearch for the signal level of the serving cell.
b. Cell reselection is triggered if the following condition is met: R_n ≥ R_s,
where R_s = Qmeas,s + Qhyst and R_n = Qmeas,n – Qoffset

LTE cells within the optimization range.

3 Calculate the inter- The SONMaster calculates LTE inter-frequency


frequency co-coverage cell co-coverage cell groups within the optimization
groups that meet specific range according to the following conditions:
conditions l The cells share the same site.
Cells whose latitude difference is smaller than
50 meters and azimuth difference is smaller
than 15 degrees are considered co-coverage
cells.
l Co-coverage cells have different frequencies.
l The reselection priority of the co-coverage
serving cell is consistent with that of inter-
frequency frequency of its neighboring cells.
l Co-coverage cells are inter-frequency
neighboring cells for each other.
l Co-coverage cells are in active state.
l The performance counters of the co-coverage
cells are valid. The penetration rate of UEs of
the corresponding frequencies exceeds 50%.

4 Select an inter-frequency The SONMaster optimizes the cell group after you

9 Execute the optimization There are three execution modes:


advice l If this parameter is set to Manually, the
optimization advice is delivered to the NEs
after optimization advice is generated and you
manually confirm the delivery.
l If this parameter is set to Immediately, the
optimization advice is automatically delivered
to NEs after optimization advice is generated.
l If this parameter is set to Specified Time, the
optimization advice is automatically delivered
to NEs at a configured time after optimization
advice is generated.

10 Execute the KPI rollback After the KPI rollback is enabled and optimization
algorithm advice is delivered, the SONMaster monitors live
network KPIs, and checks whether the
optimization advice is appropriate. If it is
inappropriate, the SONMaster rolls back the
optimization advice and imposes a penalty on this
cell. During the imposing of the penalty, the
SONMaster does not optimize the cell.

4 Network Impact

l System Capacity
This feature optimizes the inter-frequency reselection parameters of inter-frequency co-
coverage cells so that UEs camp on cells working on low-priority frequencies that are
relatively free instead of cells working on high-priority frequencies. This avoids traffic
congestion that occurs in a certain cell, improving network resource usage and system
capacity.
l Network Performance
This feature reduces the load of cells that have high traffic volumes, improves the RRC
setup success rate, and decreases the average buffer delay of packets by optimizing the
inter-frequency reselection parameters of inter-frequency co-coverage cells. This feature
also improves the throughput of the lightly-loaded cell because extra UEs camp on these
cells.

6.4 Monitoring

Before Executing the Optimization Advice


Before executing the optimization advice, check whether the optimization advice is
appropriate and determine whether to execute the optimization advice by referring to 6.2
Information Collection Before the Deployment.

Issue 03 (2017-03-17) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 33


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
SONMaster
LTE MLB Feature Description 6 Engineering Guidelines

After Executing the Optimization Advice


After executing the optimization advice, observe the MLB optimization results and effects
based on the following performance counters:
l RRC connection attempts of corresponding frequencies and average number of users in a
cell within the optimization areas.
l The RRC setup success rate, throughput, and average buffer delay of packet of LTE
cells.
For details about the counters, see 8 References. The principles are as follows:
If the ratio of the RRC connection attempts and the that of average number of users in a cell
decrease between different frequencies, this feature is effective. For example, if the ratio of
RRC connection attempts between two carriers is 3 : 1 and 2 : 1 before and after the
optimization, respectively, this feature is effective. In addition, RRC setup success rate cannot
deteriorate. Otherwise, check the cell performance again and determine whether to execute
the optimization advice by referring to 6.2 Information Collection Before the Deployment.

6.5 Parameter Optimization


This section describes the optimization parameters. After this feature is activated, you can
properly adjust these parameters in Table 6-9 to achieve better optimization results.
