About This Chapter
Power control is a key WCDMA technique, through which near and far effect, shadow fading
and fast fading can be overcome to ensure uplink and downlink network performance, reduce
network interference and improve the system quality and capacity. As a result, power control
parameter values have great impact on the network.

over the RACH cannot be received by UTRAN, which affects the uplink coverage;
l If the value is too high, the uplink interference is increased, and the uplink capacity is
affected.
Relevant Commands
Set the parameter by executing ADD PRACHTFC. To modify this parameter, execute RMV
PRACHTFC to delete the PRACH TFC before reconfiguring it.
It is necessary to deactivate PRACH (DEA PRACH) and the cell (DEA CELL) before RMV

in UE access failure;
l If it is too high, the UE may repeatedly make access attempts by increasing the transmit
power, resulting in interference to other users.
Relevant Commands
MOD PRACHUUPARAS.
1.1.5 Max Preamble Loop

This parameter defines the maximum number of random access preamble loops. When the UE
has transmitted the access preamble and the number of retransmission times has reached

2.1.1 Softer Handover Combination Indication Switch

It determines whether the NodeB will implement softer combination of radio links in soft
handover. If the value is MAY, the NodeB will decide whether to implement softer combination
(softer combination of radio links of different cells of the same NodeB is allowed); if the value
is MUST, forced softer combination of radio links of different cells of the same NodeB will be
implemented; if the value is MUST_NOT, the NodeB is not allowed to implement softer
combination of radio links.
2.1.2 Intra-Frequency Measurement L3 Filter Coefficient
It is the measurement smoothing factor used for filtering the L3 intra-frequency measurement
report.
2.1.3 Weighting Factor
This parameter is used to identify the threshold for triggering event 1A and 1B according to the
measured value of each cell in the active set.
2.1.4 Soft Handover Relative Thresholds
These parameters define the difference between the quality of a cell (evaluated with the Ec/No
of PCPICH at present) and the comprehensive quality of the active set (the best cell quality in
case that W=0). The soft handover relative threshold parameters include IntraRelThdFor1ACS,
IntraRelThdFor1APS (relative threshold for 1A) and IntraRelThdFor1BCS,
IntraRelThdFor1BPS (relative threshold for 1B).
2.1.5 Event 1F Absolute Thresholds
This parameter corresponds to the guarantee signal strength that satisfies the basic service QoS.
The absolute thresholds of soft handover include IntraAblThdFor1FEcNo and
IntraAblThdFor1FRSCP (Correspond to Ec/Io and RSCP).
2.1.6 Hysteresis Related to Soft Handover
These parameters represent the hysteresis value of the event 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D and 1F.
2.1.7 Time to Trigger Related to Soft Handover

2.1.10 Cell Individual Offset
It is the CPICH measured value offset of intra-frequency handover cells.

2.1.1 Softer Handover Combination Indication Switch

It determines whether the NodeB will implement softer combination of radio links in soft
handover. If the value is MAY, the NodeB will decide whether to implement softer combination
(softer combination of radio links of different cells of the same NodeB is allowed); if the value
is MUST, forced softer combination of radio links of different cells of the same NodeB will be
implemented; if the value is MUST_NOT, the NodeB is not allowed to implement softer
combination of radio links.
Parameter ID
DivCtrlField
Value Range
MAY, MUST, MUST_NOT

Softer combination may be implemented; softer combination must be implemented; softer
combination must not be implemented.
Parameter Setting
The default value is MAY.
There are two combination methods for uplink combination of soft handover: one is maximum
ratio combination at the NodeB’s Rake receiver, which gives the highest combination gain; the
other is selective combination at the RNC, which gives a relatively smaller combination gain.
The default value of the indication switch is MAY, which means that the NodeB will decide
whether to implement maximum ratio combination according to its own physical conditions;
when Must is selected, the NodeB is forced to carry out maximum ratio combination -- this
method is usually used in tests; when Must not is selected, the NodeB is forbidden to carry out
maximum ratio combination, and this method is adopted when maximum ratio combination
performance of softer handover is found bad.
It is related to the working status (test/normal operation) and the propagation environment
whether to implement softer combination and which kind of softer combination is to be adopted.

None
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through SET HOCOMM, and query it through LST HOCOMM.
2.1.2 Intra-Frequency Measurement L3 Filter Coefficient

It is the measurement smoothing factor used for filtering the L3 intra-frequency measurement
report.

Parameter ID
IntraFreqFilterCoef

Enum (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19)
Parameter Setting
The default value is D3.
The filtering of the measurement is calculated by means of the following formula:
Fn = (1 - α) · Fn - 1 + α · Mn
Where,
l Fn: the updated measurement result after filtering processing.
l Fn–1: the old measurement result of the previous moment after filtering processing.
l Mn: the latest measured value received from the physical layer.
l α= (1/2)(k/2), where, k comes from Filter coefficient, namely the local FilterCoef. When
α is set to 1, it means there is no Layer 3 filtering.
The Layer 3 filtering should filter the random impact capability so that the filtered measured
value can reflect the basic change trend of the actual measurement. Because the measured value
input to Layer 3 filter is after the Layer 1 filtering, the influence of fast fading has been basically
filtered; therefore, the Layer 3 filter should carry out smoothing filtering on the shadow fading
and small quantity of fast fading burrs, so as to provide better measurement data for event
decisions. [1]

The bigger this parameter is, the stronger the smoothing effect on the signal will be, and the
stronger the fast fading resistance capability will be, but the weaker the tracing capability of the
signal change will be.
l If handover is not implemented in time, call drop will occur;
l If this parameter is too low, the possibility of unnecessary soft handover and ping pong
handover will be increased.
NOTE
As adjustment of this parameter will seriously affect the entire handover performance, be cautious adjusting
this parameter.
Relevant Commands
For the RNC-oriented intra-frequency handover algorithm parameter: set it through SET
INTRAFREQHO, and query it through LST INTRAFREQHO.

For the cell-oriented intra-frequency handover algorithm parameter: add it through ADD
CELLINTRAFREQHO, query it through LST CELLINTRAFREQHO, and modify it
through MOD CELLINTRAFREQHO.

According to the protocol TS25.331, in event 1A and 1B, W is defined as follows:
When W=0, Formula 1 is actually the measured value of the best cell, and the determination of
the relative threshold of soft handover is only related to the best cell in the active set; when
W=1, it can be approximately considered as the equivalent signal strength when maximum ratio
combination of down links of all cells in the active is implemented.

The bigger this parameter is, the higher the event 1A and 1B triggering thresholds obtained under
the same condition will be, the more difficult it will be to join the active set, and the easier it
will be to leave the active set; the smaller W is, the easier it will to join the active set, and the
more difficult it will be to leave the active set.

2.1.4 Soft Handover Relative Thresholds

These parameters define the difference between the quality of a cell (evaluated with the Ec/No
of PCPICH at present) and the comprehensive quality of the active set (the best cell quality in
case that W=0). The soft handover relative threshold parameters include IntraRelThdFor1ACS,
IntraRelThdFor1APS (relative threshold for 1A) and IntraRelThdFor1BCS,
IntraRelThdFor1BPS (relative threshold for 1B).

IntraRelThdFor1APS
IntraRelThdFor1BCS

Value Range

0 to 14.5dB, step 0.5dB
Parameter Setting
The default values of IntraRelThdFor1A CS/PS is 6, namely 3dB, and the default values of
IntraRelThdFor1BCS/PS is 12, namely 6dB.
As specified in 25.331, when CPICH Ec/N0 value is adopted as the measured value, the
following formula is adopted for the event 1A trigger decision:
Where,
l MNew is the measured value of the cell that enters the report range;
l CIONew is the offset of this cell;
l Mi is the measured value of the cells in the active set;
l NA is the number of cells in the current active set;
l MBest is the measured value of the best cell in the active set;
l W is the weighting value which is used for weighting the comprehensive quality of the best
cell and the active set;
l R1a is report range, namely the relative threshold for soft handover;

l H1a is the hysteresis value of event 1A.
The following event is taken as the trigger condition of event 1B:
Where,
l MOld is the measured value of the cell that leaves the report range;
l CIOOld is the offset of this cell;
l Mi is the measured value of the cells in the active set;
l NA is the number of cells in the current active set;
l MBest is the measured value of the best cell in the active set;
l W is the weighting value used for weighing the comprehensive quality of the best cell and
the active set;
l R1b is report range, namely the relative threshold for soft handover;
l H1b is the hysteresis value of event 1B.
The selection of a relative threshold for handover corresponds directly to the soft handover
proportion, and it should ensure the trouble-free implementation of smoothing handover.

The parameter setting determines the size of the soft handover area and the user proportion
involved in soft handover.
l If the threshold is big, the target cell will join the active set more easily, call drop will occur
more difficultly, and the UE proportion in the state of soft handover will be increased, but
the forward resources will be seriously occupied;
l If the threshold is small, the target cell will join the active set more difficultly, the
communication quality cannot be guaranteed, and the implementation of smoothing
handover will be affected.

2.1.5 Event 1F Absolute Thresholds

The absolute thresholds of soft handover include IntraAblThdFor1FEcNo and
IntraAblThdFor1FRSCP (Correspond to Ec/Io and RSCP).

IntraAblThdFor1FEcNo: -24-0dB, step 1dB
IntraAblThdFor1FFRSCP: -155-25, step 1dB
Parameter Setting
The default value is:
IntraAblThdFor1FEcNo:-18.
IntraAblThdFor1FRSCP:-115
1F: PCPICH measured value is lower than the absolute threshold event.
These values are the absolute thresholds used for 1F reports in the soft handover algorithm,
corresponding to the guarantee signal strength that satisfies the basic service QoS and affecting
the triggering of event 1F.
Event 1F is used to trigger emergency blind handover. If the optimal cell of active set reports
event 1F, it indicates the active set quality is rather poor, and blind handover is triggered at this
moment to make the final attempt before call dropping.

The higher the set threshold, the more easily blind handover will be triggered, and vice versa.
In practice, adjust the value in accordance with the handover policy and network coverage.

event 1C: cell replacement in the active set.
event 1D: In case of an active set cell, the best cell will be modified; in case of a monitored set
cell, it will be added into the active set and the best cell will be modified.
l Event 1A
The first formula is used to trigger 1A, and the second one is used cancel 1A. Therefore,
the hysteresis range is the signal fluctuation range under usual conditions, or the fluctuation
range of the slow fading under the same condition.
l Event 1B
The first formula is used to trigger 1B, and the second one is used cancel 1B.
l Event 1C
MNew ≥ MInAS + H1c/2
MNew ≤ MInAS - H1c/2
The range of this value can be adjusted within 3 to 5dB. Because 1C is triggered when the
active set size reaches the maximum value, and the delay of handover at this time will not

lead to bad result, the signaling interaction caused by the ping pong effect should be reduced
to the minimum in the parameter configuration. The parameter can be increased
appropriately in the adjustment.
l Event 1D
MNotBest ≥ MBest + H1d/2
The event cancellation formula has not been given in the protocol. According to the
cancellation definitions of other events, the 1D cancellation definition can be deduced as
follows:
MNotBest ≤ MBest - H1d/2
The range of this value can be adjusted within 3 to 5dB. Because all the handover policies
are based on the best cell and the change of the best cell usually leads to the update of the
measurement control, the ping pong change and mis-decision should be reduced to the
minimum in the report of the event 1D. The parameter can be increased appropriately in
the adjustment.
l Event 1F
MNew ≤ T1f - H1f/2
MNew ≥ T1f + H1f/2
The range of this value can be adjusted within 3 to 5dB. The value of this parameter is
consistent with the hysteresis value for 1B. [1]

l For a UE that has entered to the soft handover area, increased hysteresis is equivalent to a
reduced soft handover range;
l For a UE that has left the soft handover area, increased hysteresis is equivalent to an
increased soft handover range.
If the number of users entering the soft handover area is the same as the number of users leaving
the soft handover area, there will be no influence on the actual proportion of soft handover. The
bigger the hysteresis is, the stronger the signal fluctuation resistance capability will be, and the
better the ping pong effect will be suppressed; however, the response speed of the handover
algorithm on signal changes will be decreased. Therefore, the radio environment (slow fading
characteristics), the actual handover distance and the user moving speed should be fully
considered for the setting of this parameter.

Parameter Setting
Default value for 1A is D320, and default values for other events are D640.
The time-to-trigger mechanism is mainly used:
l To reduce number of the error event reports caused by burst signals.

l To suppress in some degree ping pong handover.
l To reduce the influence of shadow fading on event decisions.
Layer 3 filter coefficient, hysteresis and time-to-trigger jointly overcome the interference
(mainly slow fading) effect. They are used to prevent the ping pong effect (including event
reports, and active set and best cell update) caused by slow fading.
In order to obtain the approximate performance, we can use different combinations of the three
parameters. The interferences overcome by the three parameters are of different types:
l Filter coefficient can well overcome weak signal interference under strong signals;
l Hysteresis is mainly used to overcome interference with the strength within a certain range,
especially ping pong handover at the verge of a cell;
l Time-to-trigger can overcome burst signal interference effectively.

The bigger the value of hysteresis is, the more difficult the handover will be; however, if the
value of hysteresis increases, the call drop risk will be increased.

2.1.8 Minimum Quality Threshold of Soft Handover

Ec/Io of the target cell is higher than this absolute threshold.
Parameter ID
SHOQualmin
Value Range
-24 to 0, step 1

-24dB to 0dB, step 1dB
Parameter Setting
The default value is -16, namely, -16dB.
Purpose for setting this parameter: If the signal added to the cell is too poor in quality, there is
no apparent contribution to general quality of the active set, more downlink resources will be
occupied, and more TPC bit errors will be introduced. On the contrary, the soft handover
performance will be deteriorated. Therefore, a basic quality requirement should be worked out
for the added radio link. Setting of this parameter is related with the power distribution rate of
public channel and demodulation capability of UE.

Adjust it according to the Ec/Io to be reached by the cell soft handover area as expected at
network planning. The higher this parameter set, the more difficult for the neighboring cell to
join in the active set, but quality of the cell for joining can be ensured. The lower this parameter
set, the easier for the neighboring cell to join in the active set, but it a too-low parameter cannot
restrict the cell quality.

Parameter Setting
The sum of this value and the actual measured value is used in the UE event estimation. The UE
uses the sum of the original cell measured value and this offset as the measurement result for
the UE intra-frequency handover decision. It plays the role of shifting the cell boarder in the
handover algorithm. This parameter is configured according to the actual environment in the
network planning. In the neighboring cell configuration, if handover is expected to occur easily,
set this parameter to a positive value; otherwise, set it to a negative value. The function of this
parameter is to move the cell edge and configured according to actual environment.

l The bigger this parameter is, the more easily soft handover will occur, and the more UEs
will be in the soft handover state, but the more forward resources will be occupied;

measurement reporting mode is adopted, this parameter corresponds to inter-frequency
measurement event absolute thresholds when RSCP is used for measurement, including event
2D absolute threshold and event 2F absolute threshold.
2.2.8 EC/No-based Inter-Frequency Measurement Start/Stop Thresholds

inter-frequency handover, this parameter is used as the mandatory threshold requirement
satisfied by target frequency quality when 2B event is triggered, and it is one mandatory
condition of 2B event trigger. If the periodical reporting mode is adopted, this parameter is
used as the absolute threshold of inter-frequency hard handover event. Based on different
measurement quantities and different borne services, it can be InterFreqCovHOCSThdEcN0

(target frequency Ec/No trigger threshold of CS service), InterFreqCovHOPSThdEcN0 (target

frequency Ec/No trigger threshold of PS service), InterFreqCovHOCSThdRSCP (target
frequency RSCP trigger threshold of CS service) or InterFreqCovHOPSThdRSCP (target

2.2.10 Current Used Frequency Quality Threshold of Inter-Frequency Handover
In the coverage-based inter-frequency handover, this parameter will be used for measurement
control of 2B event only when the event reporting mode is adopted for inter-frequency
handover, and one mandatory condition for triggering 2B event can be satisfied only when the
quality of used frequency is lower than this threshold.
2.2.11 Inter-Frequency Measurement Minimum Access Thresholds

coverage-based inter-frequency handover, the quality measurement value of inter-frequency cell
should satisfy the inter-frequency handover absolute value. Moreover, its RSCP and EcNo

Value Range
Enum (Periodical_reporting, Event_trigger)

Periodical_reporting indicates adoption of the periodical reporting mode.
Event_trigger indicates adoption of the event trigger mode.
Parameter Setting
The default value is Periodical_reporting.
There are two optional inter-frequency handover report modes in RNC V1.7: event report and
periodical report, which are selected through the inter-frequency report mode switch. This
algorithm switch is oriented to RNC configuration.
Event report:
To prevent ping pong before and after inter-frequency handover, use 2B event (when the current
in-use frequency quality is lower than the absolute threshold used frequency quality
threshold, the non-used frequency quality is higher than the other absolute threshold target
frequency trigger threshold) as the trigger event for judging origination of inter-frequency

handover. As the 2B event has no event transfer period, the retry function after handover failure
is not implemented, unless this cell can trigger 2B event again.
Periodical report:
Use event 2D and 2F as the compressed mode to start and stop event, and periodically report
the measurement result of inter-frequency neighboring cell in the compressed mode period.
When the cell quality reported by UE is higher than the sum of an absolute threshold and the
relative hysteresis, the delay trigger timer will start. If the requirement is always satisfied when
the timer is timeout, inter-frequency handover is started after the delay trigger timer is timeout.
If handover fails, handover judging continues in accordance with the inter-frequency
measurement periodical report.

The periodical report and event report modes have their own advantages and disadvantages. At
present, the traditional periodical report mode is still adopted.

In other words, for the cell at the carrier coverage edge, we use CPICH RSCP as the measurement
physical quantity of inter-frequency cell, and, for the carrier center area (non-carrier coverage

edge cell), use CPICH Ec/N0 as the inter-frequency measurement quantity. In this way, inter-
frequency handover can be performed in time to avoid call dropping when the system load is
high and intra-frequency handover fails.

Set the parameter based on the location of the cell in the network and whether inter-system

The physical meaning and measurement model of this parameter are the same as those of intra-
frequency measurement; what is different is that the report cycle of inter-frequency measurement
is 480ms, while the report cycle of intra-frequency measurement is 200ms. In inter-frequency
measurement, according the different types of cells, the CPICH RSCP or CPICH Ec/No is likely
to be adopted. Filter Coefficient corresponding to different measurement have a little difference.

The bigger this parameter is, the stronger the signal smoothing effect will be, and the stronger
the fast fading resistance capability will be, but the weaker the signal change tracing capability
will be, which may result in call drop if handover is not implemented timely; if the setting of
this parameter is too low, the probability of unnecessary hard handover and ping pong handover
will increase.

WeightForUsedFreq is used for evaluation of 2B, 2C, 2D and event 2Fs. The carrier quality
evaluation formula is as follows:
Here,
l Qfrequencyj is the estimated quality (dB value) of frequency j.
l Mfrequencyj is the estimated quality (linear value) of frequency j.
l Mij is the measurement result of cell i in the active set of frequency j.
l NA j is the number of cells in the active set of frequency j.
l MBestj is the measurement result of optimal cell in the active set of frequency j.
l Wj is the frequency weighting factor.
For setting this parameter, refer to the setting method for intra-frequency handover weighting
factor WEIGHT.

The bigger this parameter, the higher the current frequency quality estimated value calculated
under the same condition, and the more difficult for inter-frequency handover to occur. On the

contrary, the smaller the parameter value, the lower the current frequency quality estimated
value, and the easier for inter-frequency handover to be triggered.

Parameter Setting
Default value for Hystfor2B is 0 and default value for Hystfor2D, Hystfor2F and HystforHHO

Under periodic report mode, the inter-frequency measurement hysteresis is mainly used to

frequency is lower than the threshold) and 2F (the estimated quality of the current frequency is
higher than the threshold) events. Under event report mode, the inter-frequency measurement
hysteresis is mainly used to decrease the frequently handover triggered by 2B event because of
radio signal changing.

The bigger the hysteresis value is, the stronger the signal fluctuation resistance capability will
be, and the better the ping pong effect will be depressed; however, the response speed of the
handover algorithm to signal changes will be weakened at the same time.

InterFreqCSThd2FRSCP, InterFreqPSThd2FRSCP is -90.
The inter-frequency measurement start threshold (which is the compressed mode start threshold)
is the most critical parameter in the inter-frequency handover policy. This set of parameters
influence the proportion of users in cells entering the compressed mode and the success rate of
hard handover. The following factors should be considered in the setting of this set of parameters:

l UE moving speed;
l Cell radius;
l Path loss.

Event 2D and 2F are the start and stop switches of the compressed mode. When the cell is at the
verge of carrier coverage, the RSCP measured value will be used as the decision criterion for
2D and 2F. Therefore, if the compressed mode is expected to start as early as possible, lower
the 2D threshold; to reduce the ping pong start and stop of the compressed mode; increase
appropriately the difference between the thresholds of the 2D and 2F.

2.2.8 EC/No-based Inter-Frequency Measurement Start/Stop

Thresholds
In the coverage-based inter-frequency handover, this parameter corresponds to inter-frequency
measurement event absolute thresholds when Ec/No is used for measurement.

InterFreqCSThd2FEcN0 (CS inter-frequency measurement close threshold indicated by Ec/N0)

Parameter Setting
Default values of InterFreqCSThd2DecNo and InterFreqPSThd2DecNo are -16, and default
values for InterFreqCSThd2FEcNo and InterFreqPSThd2FecNo are -14.
For the detailed description, refer to 2.2.7 RSCP-Based Inter-Frequency Measurement Start/
Stop Thresholds.


The 2D and event 2Fs are the compressed mode start/stop switches. When the cell is at the carrier
coverage center, Ec/No measured value will be taken as the decision criterion for the 2D and
event 2Fs. Therefore, if the compressed mode is expected to start as early as possible, set the
event 2D threshold to a relatively big value; otherwise, set it to a relatively small value. To
control the ping pong effect of the compressed mode start/stop, increase appropriately the
difference between the thresholds for event 2D and 2F.

When the event reporting mode is adopted for inter-frequency handover in the coverage-based
inter-frequency handover, this parameter is used as the mandatory threshold requirement
satisfied by target frequency quality when 2B event is triggered, and it is one mandatory
condition of 2B event trigger. If the periodical reporting mode is adopted, this parameter is
used as the absolute threshold of inter-frequency hard handover event. Based on different

Factors to be considered as setting this parameter:
The cell signal quality of current frequency is poor and cannot better satisfy the coverage
requirement of current service. After handover is completed, it is hard to hand over to the current
used frequency cell again even inter-frequency measurement is started again. In other words,
this parameter should be set lower than the trigger threshold of event 2F usually, or it is equal
to the threshold of event 2D.

The bigger set parameter value, the easier for 2B event to be triggered.

2.2.11 Inter-Frequency Measurement Minimum Access Thresholds

When the periodical reporting mode is selected for inter-frequency coverage handover in the
coverage-based inter-frequency handover, the quality measurement value of inter-frequency cell
should satisfy the inter-frequency handover absolute value. Moreover, its RSCP and EcNo
quality must satisfy the minimum access threshold, so inter-frequency handover may take place.
The minimum access threshold corresponding to RSCP is HHORSCPmin, and that
corresponding to EcN0 is HHOEcNomin.
Parameter ID

Parameter Setting
The default value of HHOEcNomin is -16, and the default value of HHORSCPmin is -115.
The minimum quality requirement for EcNo and RSCP can ensure that the target cell quality is
not too poor.

The bigger the parameter value is, the more difficult for inter-frequency handover to occur, but
the quality after handover can be ensured. The smaller the parameter value, the looser the inter-
frequency handover requirement, but it may lead to handover to a poor cell and occurrence of
ping pong handover.

measurement value of the cell and this offset as the measurement result for the UE’s inter-
frequency handover decision. This parameter plays the role of moving the cell boarder in the
handover algorithm. This parameter is configured according to the actual environment in the
network planning. In the neighboring cell configuration, if handover is expected to occur easily,
set this parameter to a positive value; otherwise, set it to a negative value.

In the inter-system handover based on coverage, they refer to the measurement smooth
coefficient adopted at L3 inter-system measurement report filtering and the measurement smooth
coefficient adopted at 2D and event 2F report.
2.3.2 Inter-RAT Measurement Report Mode
In the coverage-based inter-system handover, this parameter is used to select the periodical report
or event trigger mode for inter-system measurement report.
2.3.4 Inter-RAT Period Report Interval
The parameter is used to determine the measurement report interval when the inter-system
measurement report mode chooses Periodical_Reporting.
2.3.5 BSIC Verify Selection Switch
This parameter is used to control the inter-system measurement report cell. If it is set as required,
report is allowed only after the measured GSM cell identity code (BSIC) is correctly decoded.
If it is set as not Required, then all the measured cells can be reported so long as they satisfy the
above report condition, regardless of whether their BSICs are correctly decoded.
2.3.6 Inter-RAT Measurement Quantity
The parameter 2D2FmeasQuantity is used to configure the event 2D and 2F measurement
quantity for starting and stopping inter-system measurement, including EcNo and RSCP.The
parameter 3AmeasQuantity is used to configure the event 3A measurement quantity for inter-
system measurement, including EcNo and RSCP.

This set of parameters corresponds to the absolute thresholds of the inter-RAT measurement
events when RSCP is used for measurement.
2.3.8 Ec/No-Based Inter-RAT Measurement Start/Stop Thresholds
This set of parameters is corresponding to the absolute thresholds of the inter-RAT measurement
event when Ec/No is used for measurement. The parameters include: InterRATCSThd2DEcN0
(the CS inter-RAT measurement start threshold expressed with Ec/No),
InterRATPSThd2DEcN0 (the PS inter-RAT measurement start threshold expressed with Ec/
No), InterRATCSThd2FEcN0 (the CS inter-RAT measurement stop threshold expressed with
Ec/No), InterRATPSThd2FEcN0 (the PS inter-RAT measurement stop threshold expressed with
Ec/No).
2.3.9 Current Used Frequency Quality Threshold of Inter-RAT Handoverr
When inter-system handover is in the event reporting mode, use this parameter as the
measurement control of event 3A. Only when the used frequency quality is lower than this
threshold, can one mandatory condition for triggering event 3A be satisfied.

Inter-system handover judging thresholds involve the inter-system CS service handover judging
threshold InterRATCovHOCSThd and the inter-system PS service handover judging threshold
InterRATCovHOPSThd.

In coverage–oriented inter frequency handover, the time–to–trigger parameter include time–to–
trigger for 2D (TrigTime2D), time–to–trigger for 2F (TrigTime2F) and time-to-trigger for 3A
(TrigTime3A).
2.3.12 Hysteresis Related to Coverage-Based Inter-RAT Handover
In the coverage-based inter-system handover, hysteresis triggered by event includes 3A
hysteresis Hystfor3A, 2D hysteresis Hystfor2D, 2F hysteresis Hystfor2F, and inter-system
handover hysteresis HystforInterRAT.
2.3.13 Time to Trigger for Verified GSM Cell
It refers to the delay trigger time of GSM cell verified already by the BS identity code BSIC. If
the signal quality of GSM neighboring cell always satisfies the inter-system handover judging
condition in the time range stipulated by this parameter value, and the GSM neighboring cell is
in the verified state, the network will start the inter-system handover process.
2.3.14 Time to Trigger for Non-verified GSM Cell
It represents the delay time for triggering a GSM cell unacknowledged by BSIC. In the period
specified by this parameter, if the signal quality of an adjacent GSM cell meets the requirement
for inter-RAT handover and this cell is unacknowledged, the network will start inter-RAT
handover.
2.3.15 Penalty Time for Inter-RAT Handover
For inter-system handover failure to the GSM cell, possibly it is refused because the load of this
cell is heavy. Therefore, no inter-system handover request will be sent to this cell in the time
range stipulated by this parameter value.
It refers to the inter-system handover cell individual offset.
2.3.1 Inter-RAT Measurement L3 Filter Coefficients

The physical meaning and measurement model of this parameter are the same as those of inter-
frequency measurement, and the reporting period is 480ms. For the specific analysis, refer to
2.1.2 Intra-Frequency Measurement L3 Filter Coefficient and 2.2.3 Inter-Frequency
Measurement Layer 3 Filter Coefficients.

The bigger this parameter, the stronger the effect on signal smoothness, the stronger the fast-
fading resistance capability, but the weaker the tracing capability for signal change, and call will
drop due to handover failure. If this value is set too low, unnecessary system handover will be
increased.

2.3.2 Inter-RAT Measurement Report Mode

In the coverage-based inter-system handover, this parameter is used to select the periodical report
or event trigger mode for inter-system measurement report.
Parameter ID
InterRATReportMode
Value Range
Enum (Periodical_reporting, Event_trigger)

Periodical_reporting indicates adoption of the periodical reporting mode.
Event_trigger indicates adoption of the event trigger mode.
Parameter Setting
The default value is Periodical_reporting.
There are two optional inter-frequency handover report modes in RNC V1.7: event report and
periodical report, which are selected through the inter-system report mode switch. This algorithm
switch is oriented to RNC configuration.
Event report:
To prevent ping pong before and after inter-system handover, event 3A (the current used
frequency quality is lower than the absolute threshold, and the GSM cell level is higher than the

other absolute threshold) is used as the trigger event for judging origination of inter-system
handover. To improve the handover success ratio, the GSM cell BSIC of the trigger event must
be decoded correctly by EU. As the event 3A has no event transfer period, the retry function
after handover failure is not implemented, unless this cell can trigger event 3A again.
Periodical report:
When the level of the GSM cell reported by UE is higher than the inter-system event 2D absolute
threshold + hysteresis, it will start the delay trigger timer. If the clock satisfies requirement during
timer timeout, start inter-frequency handover after the delay trigger timer is timeout. If handover
fails, retry in accordance with the inter-system measurement periodical report.

The periodical report and event report modes have their own advantages and disadvantages. At
present, the traditional periodical report mode is still adopted.

Parameter Setting
The default value is 0, that is, only the best cell quality in the active set is used as the current
frequency quality.
WeightForUsedFreq is used for evaluation of 2D and event 2Fs. The carrier quality evaluation
formula is as follows:

Here,
l Qfrequencyj is the estimated quality (dB value) of frequency j.
l Mfrequencyj is the estimated quality (linear value) of frequency j.
l Mij is the measurement result of cell i in the active set of frequency j.
l NAj is the number of cells in the active set of frequency j.
l MBestj is the measurement result of optimal cell in the active set of frequency j.
l Wj is the frequency weighting factor.
For setting this parameter, refer to the setting method for intra–frequency handover weighting
factor WEIGHT.

The bigger this parameter, the higher the current frequency quality estimated value calculated
under the same condition and the more difficult for inter–frequency handover to occur. On the
contrary, the smaller the parameter value, the lower the current frequency quality estimated
value, and the easier for inter–frequency handover to be triggered.

When a cell is at the verger of carrier frequency coverage, it will use RSCP measurement value
as the decision criterion for 2D and 2F. If the compressed mode is expected to start as early as

If the inter-system quality in the inter-system measurement report obtained at a moment satisfies
the following condition:
Mother_RAT + CIO ≥ Tother_RAT + H/2
Then start the delay trigger timer Trigger-Timer, and handover judgment is made after the timer
is timeout. If the inter-system quality satisfies the following condition before the timer gets
timeout:
Mother_RAT + CIO < Tother_RAT - H/2
Then the timer stops timing, and the RNC goes on waiting for receiving of the inter-system
measurement report.

Configure this parameter differently according to different policies. If the MS can be handed
over only after the GSM cell quality is good enough, this parameter can be increased properly,
-85dBm for example.

2.3.12 Hysteresis Related to Coverage-Based Inter-RAT Handover

In the coverage-based inter-system handover, hysteresis triggered by event includes 3A
hysteresis Hystfor3A, 2D hysteresis Hystfor2D, 2F hysteresis Hystfor2F, and inter-system
handover hysteresis HystforInterRAT.
Parameter ID

Hystfor2D and Hystfor2F: 0 to 14.5dB, step 0.5dB
Hystfor3A and HystforInterRAT: 0 to 7.5, step 0.5dB
Parameter Setting
The default value for Hystfor3A is 0 (0dB); the default values for Hystfor2D and Hystfor2F are
6 (3dB); the default value for HystforInterRAT is 4 (2dB).
Here, HystforInterRAT is used to prevent wrong judgment caused by abrupt signal jitter during
inter-system handover judging, and it, together with the inter-system quality threshold,
determines whether to trigger an inter-system handover judgment.

The bigger the set hysteresis, the stronger the capability for resisting signal fluctuation, and the
ping pong effect will be suppressed, but the response speed to signal change by the handover
algorithm will be weakened. If the inter-system handover hysteresis is set too high, the
requirement for inter-system quality will be high, it is hard to trigger inter-system handover
judging condition, and the call dropping ratio will increase.

2.3.13 Time to Trigger for Verified GSM Cell

It refers to the delay trigger time of GSM cell verified already by the BS identity code BSIC. If
the signal quality of GSM neighboring cell always satisfies the inter-system handover judging
condition in the time range stipulated by this parameter value, and the GSM neighboring cell is
in the verified state, the network will start the inter-system handover process.
Parameter ID
TimeToTrigForVerify

Value Range
0 to 64000

0 to 64000ms
Parameter Setting
The default value is 0, namely, immediate handover.
Refer to the description in the section about handover threshold. The trigger condition for inter-
system handover judging:
Mother_RAT + CIO ≥ Tother_RAT + H/2
If inter-system quality satisfies the above trigger condition, then start the delay trigger timer
Trigger-Timer, and inter-system handover judgment can be made after the timer gets timeout.
The length of this delay trigger timer is called delay trigger time. This parameter, together with
hysteresis, is used to prevent wrong judgment caused by signal jitter during inter-system
handover judging.

The longer the delay trigger time is, the more difficult the handover will be, but increase of the
delay trigger time will enhance the call dropping risk.

handover based on non–coverage. If it is set as required, report is allowed only after the measured
GSM cell identity code (BSIC) is correctly decoded. If it is set as not Required, then all the

measured cells can be reported so long as they satisfy the above report condition, regardless of
whether their BSICs are correctly decoded.

Parameter ID
Hystfor3C

Value Range

0 to 7.5, step 0.5dB
Parameter Setting
The default value for Hystfor3C is 0 (0dB).
Event 3C means the GSM cell quality is higher than an absolute threshold.
Event 3C is used for inter-system load handover and service handover. When the inter-system
cell satisfies the following condition, event 3C report is triggered, and the corresponding cell is
placed in the event 3C trigger list. Report of event 3C is not repeated for the cell in the list.
MotherRAT + CIOotherRAT ≥ TotherRAT + H3C/2
Here,
l H3C is event 3C hysteresis, namely, the parameter Hystfor3C.
l TotherRAT is the report threshold of inter-system cell trigger event, and the corresponding
parameter is based on non-coverage inter-system handover threshold.
When the cell in the list satisfies the following condition:
MotherRAT + CIOotherRAT ≤ TotherRAT - H3C/2
The corresponding cell is deleted from the list.

The bigger the set hysteresis, the stronger the capability for resisting signal fluctuation, and the
ping pong effect will be suppressed, but the response speed to signal change by the handover
algorithm will be weakened. If the inter-system handover hysteresis is set too high, the
requirement for inter-system quality will be high, it is hard to trigger inter-system handover
judging condition, and the call dropping ratio will increase.

Parameter Setting
The delay trigger time aims to reduce excessive events reports triggered occasionally for a
measurement result. Considering that the period for reporting to its L3 by the physical layer of
inter-system measurement UE is 480ms, set it as the default value here temporarily.

Relevant Commands

This parameter is used to control the inter–system measurement report cell in the inter–system
handover based on non–coverage. If it is set as required, report is allowed only after the measured
GSM cell identity code (BSIC) is correctly decoded. If it is set as not Required, then all the

Parameter Setting
The default value is required.

Usually, the handover due to non–coverage cause has a lower requirement for handover
timeliness, but has a high requirement for the handover success rate. It is recommended to always
set it as required to ensure the handover reliability.

When it is set as not required, it is easier for handover to occur, but the handover is not as reliable
as the required mode.

This parameter is valid for both service and load handover.
Parameter ID
PenaltyTimeForInterRATHO
Value Range
0 to 65535

0 to 65535s
Parameter Setting
More devices take part in inter-system handover, the flow is complex, the delay is long, and the
probability corresponding to intra-system handover failure may be high. In addition, it may be
hard to recover the cause leading to failure in a short time. To reduce unnecessary handover
retries for the same cell and effect on processing of other flows, the penalty timer is added to
restrict multiple retries for the same cell in a short time. The specific value can be adjusted
according to the actual requirement.

The penalty time may be too short because the load status of the GSM cell is not changed, and
handover will fail again. However, increase of the penalty trigger time will enhance the call
dropping risk.

If the times of intra–system handover failure too high, it will waste network resource and service
quality will not be guaranteed. This issue will be controlled effectively by setting this parameter.

The higher the parameter value is, the bigger the probability of the UE handover from one system

0, the system will not start the inter-RAT measurement timer, 1 to 512s

Parameter Setting
To close compress mode in coverage-based inter-system handover can trigger event 2F, since
there is not event 2F in non-coverage-based inter-system handover, it only depends on the

2.6.1 Measurement Hysteresis Parameters

The measurement hysteresis parameters include measurement hysteresis 1 (Qhyst1s) and
measurement hysteresis 2 (Qhyst2s), which are respectively used for the UE to measure the
service cell CPICH RSCP (Qhyst1s) and CPICH Ec/N0 (Qhyst2s). IdleQhyst1s and IdleQhyst2s
used to idle state, ConnQhyst1s and ConnQhyst2s used to connecting state.
2.6.2 Load Level Offsets
These parameters are cell offsets used for cell selection and reselection. In the cell selection /
reselection process, when CPICH Ec/N0 is used for measurement, the cell offset is QOffset2sn;
when CPICH RSCP is used for measurement, IdleQoffsets and IdleQoffset2s used to idle state,
ConnQoffset1s and ConnQoffset2s used to connecting state. There exist ConnQoffset1s and
ConnQoffset2s only if SIB12 indication is set TRUE. In addition, there is only QOffset1sn in
inter-RAT cell selection and reselection, namely, not idle, connect, or QOffset2sn.
2.6.3 Minimum Quality Criterion
This parameter is the minimum access threshold of PCPICH Ec/N0. The UE can reside in the
cell only when CPICH Ec/N0 measured by the UE is bigger than this threshold.

2.6.4 Minimum Access Level

in this cell only when CPICH RSCP measured by the UE is bigger than this threshold.
2.6.5 Cell Reselection Start Thresholds
These parameters include the intra-frequency cell reselection start threshold (Including Idle and
connecting state), the inter-frequency cell reselection start threshold (Including Idle and
connecting state) and the inter-RAT cell reselection start threshold (SsearchRat).
2.6.6 Reselection Hysteresis Time
If the signal quality of other cells (CPICH Ec/No measured by the UE) is always better than the
quality of the current cell within the time specified by this parameter, the UE will reselect this
cell to reside in.
2.6.7 Minimum Access Level for Inter-RAT Cell
This parameter is the minimum access level threshold of inter-RAT cell. The UE can reside in
this cell only when GSM RSSI measured by the UE is bigger than this threshold.
2.6.1 Measurement Hysteresis Parameters

Parameter Setting
The default value of Qhyst1s is 2 (4dB), and the default value of Qhyst2s is 1 (2dB); Qhyst2s
is optional. If not configured, Qhyst2s has the value of measurement hysteresis 1.
According to the R criterion, the measured value of the current service cell participates in cell
reselection sequencing after this hysteresis is added to it. The values of these parameters are
related to the slow fading property of the area where the cell is located.
These parameters are used mainly to prevent the ping pong effect of the cell reselection result
due to the slow fading when the UE is at the cell verge. The ping pong effect may cause frequent
location updates (idle mode), URA updates (URA_PCH) or cell updates (CELL_FACH,
CELL_PCH); which results in increased network signaling load and higher loss of UE battery
energy.


The bigger these hysteresis parameters are, the smaller probability that various types of cell
reselections occur will be, and the better the slow fading resistance capability will be, but the
slower the reaction to the environment changes will be.
Relevant Commands
Set these parameters through ADD CELLSELRESEL, query them through LST

2.6.2 Load Level Offsets

These parameters are cell offsets used for cell selection and reselection. In the cell selection /

l Qrxlevmeas is RSCP of CPICH;
l Qrxlevmin is the minimum pilot signal receiving power required for the current cell;

Pcompensation= Max. (UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH - P_MAX, 0);
l UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH is the maximum allowed uplink transmit power of the UE

when accessing to the cell, namely MaxAllowedULTxPower;
l P_MAX is the maximum radio frequency output power of the UE.

The bigger this parameter is, the more difficult it will be for the UE to select this cell to reside
in; the smaller this parameter is, the easier it will be for the UE to select this cell to reside in.
However, if this parameter is too low, the UE will fail to receive correctly the system information
borne over PCCPCH after it resides in the cell.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD CELLSELRESEL, query it through LST
CELLSELRESEL, and modify it through MOD CELLSELRESEL.
2.6.4 Minimum Access Level

This parameter is the minimum access level threshold of PCPICH RSCP. The UE can reside
in this cell only when CPICH RSCP measured by the UE is bigger than this threshold.
Parameter ID
Qrxlevmin
Value Range
-58 to -13

-115dBm to -25dBm, step 2dB
Where, -58 correspond to -115dBm, -57 correspond to -113dBm,… -13 correspond to 25dBm
Parameter Setting
The default value is -58, namely -115dBm.
For the definition of Qrxlevmin, refer to Minimum Quality Criterion (Qqualmin).
The settings of Qrxlevmin and Qqualmin should be considered together.

However, if this parameter is too low, the UE will fail to receive the system information borne
over PCCPCH correctly after it resides in this cell.

2.6.5 Cell Reselection Start Thresholds

These parameters include the intra-frequency cell reselection start threshold (Including Idle and
connecting state), the inter-frequency cell reselection start threshold (Including Idle and
connecting state) and the inter-RAT cell reselection start threshold (SsearchRat).
Parameter ID
IdleSintrasearch
IdleSintersearch
ConnSintrasearch
ConnSintersearch
SsearchRat
Value Range
-16 to 10

-32 to 20, step 2dB
Parameter Setting
The default value of Sintrasearch is 5 (10dB), the default value of Sintersearch is 4 (8dB), and
the default value of Ssearchrat is 2 (4dB).
The cell reselection start thresholds are defined in the protocol 25.304 as follows:
1. If Sx <= Sintrasearch, the UE will implement intra-frequency measurement and start intra-
frequency cell reselection;
2. If Sx <= Sintersearch, the UE will implement inter-frequency measurement and start inter-
frequency cell reselection;
3. If Sx <= SsearchRAT, the UE will implement inter-RAT measurement and start inter-RAT
cell reselection.
Where, Sx =measured value of UE - Qqualmin.
When the UE detects that the quality of the service cell (CPICH Ec/N0 measured by the UE) is
lower than the sum of the minimum quality criterion of the service cell (Qqualmin) plus this
threshold, it will start the intra-frequency/inter-frequency/ inter-RAT cell reselection process.
Intra-frequency cell reselection is prior to inter-frequency/inter-RAT cell reselection. When

setting these three parameters, make sure that the intra-frequency cell reselection start threshold
is bigger than the inter-frequency/inter-RAT cell reselection start threshold.


l If these parameters are too high, cell reselection will probably start frequently, resulting in
UE battery waste;
l If they are too low, cell reselection will probably start difficultly, and the UE will fail to
reside timely in a cell with good quality, and this will influence the communication quality
between the UTRAN and the UE.
Relevant Commands
Set these parameters through ADD CELLSELRESEL, query them through LST
CELLSELRESEL, and modify them through MOD CELLSELRESEL.
2.6.6 Reselection Hysteresis Time

If the signal quality of other cells (CPICH Ec/No measured by the UE) is always better than the
quality of the current cell within the time specified by this parameter, the UE will reselect this
cell to reside in.
Parameter ID
Treselections
Value Range
0 to 31

0 to 31s
Parameter Setting
This parameter is used to prevent the UE from implementing ping pong reselection between
cells. Note: 0 refers to the default value specified in the protocol, instead of 0s.

l If this parameter is too low, the UE will probably perform ping pong reselection;
l If it is too high, it may result in too long cell reselection delay, which will influence the
normal operation of cell reselection.

2.6.7 Minimum Access Level for Inter-RAT Cell

This parameter is the minimum access level threshold of inter-RAT cell. The UE can reside in
this cell only when GSM RSSI measured by the UE is bigger than this threshold.

Parameter ID

Value Range
-58 to -13

-115 to -25dBm, and the step is 2dBm
Where, -58 corresponds to -115dBm, -57 corresponds to -113dBm …and -13 corresponds to
25dBm.
Parameter Setting
The default value is -58, namely, -115dBm. Similar to the S criteria, in the GSM/DCS/PCS
system, the MS also requires a path loss standard to reside in a GSM/DCS/PCS cell, and this
standard requires path loss criterion parameterC1>0. C1 is defined as follows:
C1 = (A - Max(B,0))
Here,
l A= RLA_C - RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN
l B= MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH - P,
For DCS 1800, B = MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH + POWER OFFSET - P.
l RLA_C: Average strength measurement value of receiving signal

l RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN: The minimum signal strength required by the access system,
that is, Qrxlevmin of this section.
l MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH: The maximum transmitting power allowed by the MS access
system
l POWER OFFSET: The power offset parameter of DCS°1°800 MS, used together with
MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH
l P: The maximum RF output power of MS

However, if this parameter is too low, the UE will fail to receive the system information borne
over PCCPCH correctly after it resides in this cell.

3.3 AMR Voice Uplink Threshold for Conversation Service
The uplink threshold for the conversation service is used for the uplink admission of conversation
service users.
3.4 Non AMR Voice Uplink Threshold of Conversation Service
It is the uplink threshold of non AMR voice service in the conversation service and used for
uplink admission for non AMR voice user in the conversation service.
3.5 Uplink Threshold for Other Services
This parameter is the uplink threshold for services other than the conversation service. It is used
for uplink admission of other services.

3.6 AMR Voice Downlink Threshold for Conversation Service

The downlink threshold for the conversation service is used for the downlink admission of
conversation service users.
3.7 Non AMR Voice Downlink Threshold of Conversation Service
It is the downlink threshold of non AMR voice in the conversation service and used for downlink
admission for non AMR voice user in the conversation service.

used for downlink admission of users of other services.
3.9 Uplink Handover Admission Threshold

Enum (8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 144, 256, 384) kbps
Parameter Setting
The default values for both ULBETraffInitBitRate and DLBETraffInitBitRate are 64K.
To save system resources and improve the admission success rate, BE does not require access
at the maximum expected rate at setup. In stead, a lower rate is adopted for initial access. After
access, the rate is adjusted higher when the traffic requires and system resources allow it to do
so.
When the initial rate selection (RAB Downsizing) function is enabled, this value is the uplink/
downlink initial access rate when the BE service is set up. If this rate access fails to satisfy the
current load condition, then the actual initial access rate is the negotiated rate based on this rate.
When the RAB Downsizing function is disabled, this parameter is the uplink/downlink initial
access rate when the BE service is set up.

l The higher this parameter set, the shorter the time fro the BE service to reach the maximum
rate but the easier for adjustment downward through negotiation when the system is
congested, so it makes no sense to set it too high.
l The smaller this parameter, the easier for the BE service to access as per this rate, but, if it
is set too low, it will take a longer time to adjust to the required rate when there is a service
requirement.
Relevant Commands
Set the parameter through SET FRC, and query it through LST FRC.
3.2 Intelligent Admission Algorithm Switch

Parameter Setting
The default value of IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH is 0, the default value of
RAB_DOWNSIZING_SWITCH is 1, and the default values of QUEUEALGOSWITCH and
PREEMPTALGOSWITC are OFF.
These sub algorithms in intelligent admission are briefed below:
Maximum rate negotiation: At RAB assignment setup, RAB assignment modification and
transition-in, the real-time or non-real-time (BE) service of PS domain requires rate negotiation
based on the UE supported capability to get the maximum expected rate of a proper service QoS
request. This negotiation result should be sent to the CN. For the BE service, it is the maximum
rate can be adjusted for its DCCC.
Initial rate selection: At RAB assignment setup, RAB assignment modification and transition-
in, the real-time or non-real-time (BE) service of PS domain requires selection of a proper initial
rate configuration bandwidth from typical rates smaller than or equal to the maximum expected
rate after negotiation and bigger than or equal to the lowest ensured rate according to the cell
load information before application for cell resources.
Preempting: In the service setup, modification, hard handover and transition-in scenarios, if
service request supports preempting capability (core network configuration) when application
for cell resources fails, preempting will be executed, and the resource of lower-priority user
supporting preempting is released to set up the service request.
Queuing: In the service setup, modification, hard handover and transition-in scenarios, if service
request does not support preempting capability or the preempting switch is closed when
application for cell resources fails, but service request supports the queuing capability, queuing
will be executed. When the heartbeat timer of queuing is timeout, attempt is made to allocate
resource to the service request with the minimum metric in the queue.


Set the value according to the actual requirement and the supporting capability of core network.

The uplink threshold for the conversation service is used for the uplink admission of conversation
service users.
Parameter ID
UlConvAMRThd
Value Range
0 to 100

0 to 1, step 0.01
Parameter Setting
Based on the current load factor of the system and the service properties of the call requesting
for admission, the uplink admission control algorithm predicts the load factor of the system after
the new call is admitted, uses the sum of the predicted load factor value and the common channel
uplink load factor as the predicted value of the new load factor, and then compares the predicted
value of the load factor with the load factor threshold. If the predicted load factor value is not
bigger than the load factor threshold, the call will be admitted; otherwise it will be rejected.
The uplink load thresholds include this parameter and uplink threshold for conversation non-
AMR service, uplink threshold for other services and uplink handover admission
threshold. According to the relations among these four parameters, the proportions of the
conversation service and other services in the cell can be limited. These parameters can be also
used to ensure the priorities of handover users and the conversation service access.

If this parameter is too high, the system load after admission will probably be too high, which
will affect the system stability and result in system congestion; if it is too low, there will be a
bigger probability that users will be rejected, and some resources will be idled and wasted.

This parameter, uplink threshold for conversation non-AMR service, uplink threshold for
other services and uplink handover admission threshold should be considered together with
the network planning results.
l If this parameter is too high, the target coverage in the network planning will be influenced;
l If it is too low, the target capacity cannot be satisfied.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD CELLCAC, query it through LST CELLCAC, and modify
it through MOD CELLCAC.
3.4 Non AMR Voice Uplink Threshold of Conversation

uplink admission for non AMR voice user in the conversation service.
Parameter ID
UlConvNonAMRThd
Value Range
0 to 100

0 to 1, step 0.01
Parameter Setting
The uplink admission control algorithm predicts the system load factor after admission of new
call according to the load factor of current system and service feature of admission request call.
It uses the sum of the load factor predicted value and the uplink load factor of public channel as
the new load factor predicted value, and then compares the load factor predicted value with the
load factor threshold. If the load factor predicted value is not bigger than the load factor threshold,
this call is admitted, or else it is refused.
Uplink load thresholds include this parameter, AMR voice uplink threshold of conversation
service, Uplink thresholds of other services and Uplink handover admission threshold. You
can restrict the proportion of conversation to other services in cell based on relations of the four
parameters or use them to ensure the priority of handover user and conversation service access.

If this parameter is set too high, the system load after admission may be over big to affect the
system stability, resulting in system congestion. If this parameter is too low, the possibility for
refusing user will increase, and some resources may be left idle.

This parameter, AMR voice uplink threshold of conversation service, Uplink thresholds of
other services and Uplink handover admission threshold should be considered together with
the planning result of network optimization to avoid over-big set target coverage affecting
network optimization, or too-small coverage that can not reach the target capacity.

conversation service users.
Parameter ID

Value Range
0 to 100

0 to 1, step 0.01
Parameter Setting
Based on the current NodeB transmit power of the system and the service properties of the call
requesting for admission in the current system, the downlink admission control algorithm
predicts the value of the NodeB transmit power of the system after the new call is admitted, uses
the sum of the predicted value of the NodeB transmit power and the reserved power of the
common channel as the predicted value of new downlink load, and compares it with the downlink
load threshold. If the predicted load value is not bigger than the downlink load threshold, the
call will be admitted; otherwise it will be rejected.
The downlink load thresholds include this parameter, downlink threshold for conversation
non-AMR service, downlink threshold for other services. This is mainly to satisfy the
operator’s requirement to limit the proportion of the conversation and other services in the cell.
This practice can also ensure the priorities of conversation service access.

The setting of this parameter is related to settings of cell radius and the maximum cell transmit
power.
l If it is too high, the downlink coverage of the cell will be reduced, the neighboring cells
will be interfered seriously, and system stability will be affected when cell coverage is very
small;
l If it is too low, the system resources will be idled, and the target capacity of the network
planning cannot be satisfied.
This parameter, downlink threshold for conversation non-AMR service, downlink threshold
for other services and downlink handover admission threshold should be considered together
with the network planning result.

admission for non AMR voice user in the conversation service.
Parameter ID

0 to 1, step 0.01
Parameter Setting
The downlink admission control algorithm predicts the BS transmit power value of the system
after admission of new call according to the BS transmit power of the current system and the
service feature of admission request call. It uses the sum of the predicted value of BS transmit
power and the reserved power of public channel as the new downlink load predicted value, and
compares it with the downlink load threshold (it is the downlink load basic threshold generally,
and it is the downlink load handover threshold at handover application). If the load predicted
value is not bigger than the downlink load threshold, this call is admitted, or else it is rejected.
Downlink load thresholds include this parameter, AMR voice downlink threshold of
conversation service and Downlink thresholds of other services. It is to satisfy the carrier’s
requirement for restricting the proportion of voice to other services in cell. This method is also
used to ensure the priority of voice service access.

The value of this parameter is related with setting of the cell radius and maximum transmit power
of the cell.
l If the parameter is set too high, the downlink coverage of cell will be reduced, and a bigger
interference will be generated against the neighboring cell. When cell converge is rather
small, the system stability will also be affected.
l If the value is set too low, system resources will be left idle, and the target capacity of
network optimization cannot be achieved.

This parameter, AMR voice downlink threshold of conversation service, Downlink

thresholds of other services and Downlink handover admission threshold should be
considered together with the planning result of network optimization.

0 to 1, step 0.01
Parameter Setting
For the description of this parameter, refer to 3.6 AMR Voice Downlink Threshold for

l If this parameter is too high, the downlink coverage of the cell will be reduced, the
neighboring cells will be interfered seriously, and the system stability will be influenced
when the cell coverage is small;
l If it is too low, the system resources will be idled, and the target capacity of the network
planning cannot be satisfied.
This parameter, downlink threshold for conversation service and downlink handover
admission threshold should be considered together with the network planning results.
Note that, if the DCCC switch is turned on in the 1.5 algorithm, the admission algorithm at initial
admission is judged in accordance with the initial access rate for all the PS BE services with the
maximum expected rate bigger than the parameter initial access rate. If admission of the initial
access rate cannot be accepted, the RNC will start the initial rate negotiation process in
intelligent admission. If the RNC admission at a rate grade under the initial access rate is
acceptable, the user will use this rate for access, but its maximum expected rate is not changed,
which is the biggest difference from adoption of the RNC and the CN negotiation method in
v1.3.

Parameter Setting
Based on the current load factor of the system and the service properties of the call requesting

new service is admitted, uses the sum of the predicted value of the load factor and the uplink
load factor of the common channel as the predicted value of the new load factor, and compares
the predicted load factor value with the load factor threshold. If the predicted load factor value
is not bigger than the load factor threshold, the call will be admitted; otherwise it will be rejected.
The uplink load thresholds include this parameter, uplink threshold for other services and
uplink threshold for conversation services. According to the relations among these three
parameters, the proportions of the conversation service and other services in the cell can be
limited. These parameters can also be used to guarantee the priority of the handover users and
the conversation service access. Uplink handover admission threshold must be smaller than
uplink OLC trigger threshold for smart load control.
This parameter is to reserve resources for handover and to ensure the handover performance;
the value of this parameter must be bigger than uplink threshold for conversation services.
This parameter has effects only on inter-frequency handover; it has no influence on intra-
frequency handover.

l If this parameter is too high, the system load after admission will probably be too high,
which will influence the system stability and result in the system congestion;
l If it is too low, there will be a bigger probability that users are rejected, and some resources
will be idled and wasted.

This parameter is used to reserve resources for handover and to ensure the handover performance.
The downlink handover admission threshold must be lower than congestion control
measurement threshold 1 (LCCMRThd1), and must not be lower than downlink threshold for
conversation service.

l If this parameter is too high, the downlink coverage of the cell will be reduced, the
neighboring cells will be interfered seriously, and the system stability will be influenced
when the cell coverage is very small;
l If it is too low, the system resources will be idled.
This parameter should be considered together with downlink threshold for conversation

4.1.6 Uplink and Downlink Inter-frequency Cell Load Handover Load Space Threshold
Inter-frequency load handover happens only when the current load space of the target cell is
higher than this parameter setting. This parameter value is relative to target cell LDR threshold.
For uplink, the threshold is UlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd, for downlink, the threshold is
DlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd.
4.1.7 Uplink and Downlink Inter-Frequency Cell Load Handover Maximum Band Width
During inter–frequency load handover, the UE is selected as the target of inter–frequency load
handover from the UE set where the bound width is less than this threshold. For uplink, the
threshold is UlInterFreqHoBWThd, For downlink, the threshold is DlInterFreqHoBWThd.
4.1.1 Uplink and Downlink LDR Algorithm Switches

Used to open or close the uplink/downlink preliminary congestion control algorithm (LDR). The
uplink LDR algorithm switch is ULLDR and the downlink one is DLLDR.
Parameter ID
ULLDR
DLLDR
Value Range
On, Off

On, Off
Parameter Setting
The default status of both switches is OFF.
The preliminary congestion is a transition status. For the uplink, it means the uplink interference
is close to the admission threshold; for the downlink, it means the cell’s downlink transmit power

is close to the admission threshold and the call refusal rate will increase significantly. The
preliminary congestion algorithm’s control objective is to slowly lower the cell load within the
admission threshold, to obtain higher call success rate at the cost of sacrificing the QoS of the
low–priority users, and to balance the inter–cell load (through inter–frequency load handover).
Since most of the LDR actions (except inter–frequency load handover) affect QoS, it is desirable
to set the algorithm switch to default OFF at the preliminary stage of the network construction
when user feelings are important.
Notice that the uplink LDR algorithm switch and downlink LDR algorithm switch are set
separately.

The preliminary congestion control algorithm improves the admission success rate but decreases
QoS.
Relevant Commands
Set uplink or downlink LDR algorithm switch through the parameter NBMSwitch by executing
ADD CELLALGOSWITCH, query it through LST CELLALGOSWITCH, and modify it
through the parameter NBMSwitch by executing MOD CELLALGOSWITCH.
4.1.2 LDR Period Timer Length

When preliminary congestion happens, the LDM (Load Monitoring) module sends period of
preliminary congestion instruction (i.e., LDR execution period) to LDR.
Parameter ID
LdrPeriodTimerLen
Value Range
1 to 86400

1 to 86400s, step 1s
Parameter Setting
Default value is 10.
Unlike OLC control mechanism, LDR itself has no action timer and relies on LDM’s sending
congestion instruction periodically to trigger. This mechanism originates from the initial
algorithm that tends to use period report control for LDR and time report control for OLC.

The smaller the parameter value is, the more frequently LDR action is executed, in which case
the load can be decreased quickly. However, if the value is too low, an LDR action may overlap
the previous one before the result of the previous one is displayed in LDM. The larger the value,
the more likely this problem can be prevented. If the value is set too large, the LDR action may
be executed very rarely, failing to reach the expected purpose of lowering the load timely.

Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through SET LDCPERIOD and query it through LST LDCPERIOD.
4.1.3 Uplink or Downlink LDR Trigger and Release Threshold

This set of parameters determines the threshold for the uplink and downlink load exceeding
which the uplink/downlink enters preliminary congestion status and the threshold within which
the uplink and downlink is released from preliminary congestion status. The uplink trigger and
release thresholds are UlLdrTrigThd and UlLdrRelThd and the downlink trigger and release
thresholds are DlLdrTrigThd and DlLdrRelThd.
Parameter ID
UlLdrTrigThd
UlLdrRelThd
DlLdrTrigThd
DlLdrRelThd
Value Range
0 to 100

0 to 100%, step 1%
Parameter Setting
ULLDRTrigThd is 55 and ULLDRRelThd is 45 by default, DLLDRTrigThd is 70 and
DLLDRRelThd is 60 by default.
The uplink/downlink LDR trigger thresholds must be greater than uplink/downlink LDR release
thresholds.
When uplink/downlink preliminary congestion status is triggered, the uplink/downlink LDR

action will be started. LDR control objective is to preserve space for admission to increase the
success rate. Therefore under the current policy, the LDR trigger threshold shall be so set that
the congestion is less than or close to the concerned admission threshold index.

The smaller the LDR trigger threshold and release threshold, the easier the system is in
preliminary congestion status, the harder it is released from this status, the easier the LDR action
happens, and the more likely the users are affected. However, since the resources are preserved,
the admission success rate becomes higher. The carrier shall make tradeoff between these factors.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD CELLLDM, query it through LST CELLLDM, and modify
it through MOD CELLLDM.

The larger these parameters are, the more obviously the current cell’s load is reduced. Its cost
is that user feelings are affected and that it gives rise to congestion of the target cell. The smaller
these parameters are, the smaller the amplitude of the load adjusted by LDR. Its benefit is that
the QoS is guaranteed and the target cell load is stable.
Relevant Commands
4.1.6 Uplink and Downlink Inter-frequency Cell Load Handover

Load Space Threshold
Inter-frequency load handover happens only when the current load space of the target cell is
higher than this parameter setting. This parameter value is relative to target cell LDR threshold.
For uplink, the threshold is UlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd, for downlink, the threshold is

The smaller this parameter value is, the easier it is to find qualified target cell for blind handover.
However, too low value easily makes the target cell enter congestion status. The larger the value,
the more difficult for the inter–frequency blind handover to happen and the easier to guarantee
the stability of the target cell.
Relevant Commands
4.1.7 Uplink and Downlink Inter-Frequency Cell Load Handover

Maximum Band Width
During inter–frequency load handover, the UE is selected as the target of inter–frequency load
handover from the UE set where the bound width is less than this threshold. For uplink, the
threshold is UlInterFreqHoBWThd, For downlink, the threshold is DlInterFreqHoBWThd.
Parameter ID

DlInterFreqHoBWThd
Value Range
0 to 400000

0 to 400000bps
Parameter Setting
Default value is 200000bps.
The uplink and downlink share this parameter to execute the inter–frequency load handover.
During the uplink/downlink inter–frequency load handover, a user in the current cell (the number
of users is not changeable) is selected and blind handover to the target cell to reduce the current
cell’s load and to indirectly balance the loads between the inter–frequency cells. To select a user,
the users are sorted according to the bound width. The user who is less than this parameter value
is selected to trigger the inter–frequency load handover.

The larger the parameter value is, the higher the service rate of the user who is handover and the
more obviously the cell load is decreased. But large value gives rise to fluctuation and congestion
of the target cell’s load. The smaller the parameter value is, the smaller the amplitude of the load
decreased as a result of the inter–frequency load handover and the easier to maintain the stability
of the target cell’s load.

Value Range
On, Off

Null
Parameter Setting
The default status of the two switches is OFF.
When overload happens in the uplink/downlink, the uplink/downlink OLC algorithm can quickly
relieve uplink/downlink load by TF restriction or user release. Cell overload is an emergent
status.
l For the uplink, overload means the cell’s uplink/downlink interference is close to or reaches
the limit and may give rise to difficulty in BTS uplink reception and decoding, resulting in
call drop;
l For the downlink, overload means the downlink transmit power is close to or reaches the
limit and the user’s downlink inner loop power control cannot be increased as needed
because of the BTS power restriction, resulting in call drop.
Therefore overload control (OLC) must be started to quickly lower the cell’s uplink/downlink
load to the reasonable range.
Please notice that the uplink OLC algorithm switch and downlink OLC algorithm switch are set
separately.

When OLC is open, it can quickly adjust the cell load but may also cause oscillation of the cell
load and affect the call drop rate.
Relevant Commands
Set uplink or downlink OLC algorithm switch through the parameter NBMSwitch by executing
ADD CELLALGOSWITCH , query it through LST CELLALGOSWITCH , and modify it
through the parameter NBMSwitch by executing MOD CELLALGOSWITCH .

Parameter Setting
Default value is 1000, i.e., 1s.
In the current overload control algorithm, all the uplink/downlink OLC actions (TF restriction

DLOLCFTFRSTRCTTimes, ULOLCTraffRelUserNum, and DLOLCTraffRelUserNum

l If the OLC action period is set too long, the system may respond very slowly to overload;
l If the OLC action period is set too short, unnecessary adjustment may occur before the
previous OLC action has taken effect, thus affecting the system performance.

4.2.3 Uplink and Downlink OLC Trigger Threshold and Release

Threshold
This set of parameters determine the threshold exceeding which the uplink/downlink load enters
overload status and the threshold within which the uplink/downlink load is released from
overload status. The uplink trigger and release thresholds are UlOlcTrigThd and UlOlcRelThd.
The downlink trigger and release threshold are DlOlcTrigThd and DlOlcRelThd.

0 to 1, step 0.01
Parameter Setting
UlOlcTrigThd and DlOlcTrigThd are 95 by default. UlOlcRelThd and DlOlcRelThd are 90 by
default.
The uplink/downlink OLC trigger threshold judges whether the system uplink/downlink is in
overload status. If the cell load is consecutively higher than the threshold for pre-determined
times, it means the system is in overload status for a long time. Under this circumstance, if the
cell’s OLC switch is open, the system will perform OLC algorithm, including fast TF restriction
or even user release.
The OLC trigger threshold must be higher than or equal to the OLC release threshold.

The smaller the OLC trigger threshold is, the easier the system will be in overload status. Since
OLC will ultimately use extreme method like user release to lower the load, too low value will
be very detrimental to the system performance.
The smaller the OLC release threshold is, the harder for the system to release the overload. Since
the consequence of overload is not as severe as expected, it is desirable to set the two parameters
a bit higher given that the difference between OLC trigger threshold and OLC release threshold
is fixed.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD CELLLDM, query it through LST CELLLDM, and modify
it through MOD CELLLDM.
4.2.4 Uplink and Downlink OLC Fast TF Restriction Times

Uplink/downlink OLC action threshold, meaning the times of uplink/downlink OLC fast TF
restrictions that are executed. The uplink parameter is UlOlcFTFRstrctTimes and the downlink
parameter is DlOlcFTFRstrctTimes.
Parameter ID
UlOlcFTFRstrctTimes
DlOlcFTFRstrctTimes
Value Range
0 to 100


Null
Parameter Setting
Default values are 3.
When uplink/downlink overload is triggered, the RNC will immediately execute OLC action by
first executing uplink/downlink fast TF restriction. The internal counter is incremented by 1 with
each execution. If the number of overloads does not exceed the OLC action threshold, the system
lowers the BE service rate by lowering TF to try to relieve the overload. Exceeding OLC action
threshold means that the previous operation has no obvious effect on alleviating the overload
and the system has to release users to solve the overload problem.

The lower the parameter value, the more likely the users are released, resulting in negative effect
on the system performance. If the parameter value is set too high, the overload status is released
slowly.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD CELLOLC, query it through LST CELLOLC, and modify
it through MOD CELLOLC.
4.2.5 Uplink and Downlink OLC Fast TF Restrict RAB Number

4.2.6 OLC Fast TF Restrict Data Rate Restrict Timer Length And

recovery on BE users when the downlink overload is released.
Parameter ID

1 to 65535ms
Parameter Setting
Default values: RateRstrctTimerLen 3000, i.e., 3s;RateRecoverTimerLen 5000, i.e., 5s.
Once the MAC layer receives instruction to perform fast TF restriction on a user, it periodically
uses rate restriction coefficient to restrict the maximum available TF of the user until it receives
overload release instruction. Therefore every period specified by RateRstrctTimerLen, apart
from the new OLC-selected users who are TF restricted, the previously selected users are also
fast-TF restricted in an effort to release the overload more quickly. In order to timely adjust the
BE service rate according to the load, the value of RateRstrctTimerLen shall be slightly larger
than the system load response time after rate adjustment and the period of overload detection.

The larger RateRstrctTimerLen value is, the slower the BE service rate decreases. The smaller
RateRstrctTimerLen value is, the harder to receive the overload release instruction.
Large RateRecoverTimerLen value leads to slow BE service recovery rate but can prevent
overload from triggering again in short time. Small RateRecoverTimerLen value leads to quick
BE service recovery rate but gives rise to yet more overloads.

This parameter is the bit rate threshold which used to determine whether to perform soft handover
for the Best Effort (BE) service on DCH. When the maximum bit rate of the BE service is lower

than or equal to this threshold, the system will perform soft handover for this user to guarantee
the service quality. If the maximum bit rate of the BE service is higher than the threshold, the

128k, 192k, 256k, 384k, 512k, 768k) bytes
Parameter Setting
The default value is D1024. The parameter is set separately in downlink and uplink.
Event 4a: The transmission channel traffic (which is the buffered traffic in DCCC) exceeds an
absolute threshold. When this event occurs, data transmission will be accelerated through the
increase of channel transmission bandwidth.
The setting of the traffic upper threshold is used to check whether there are data to be transmitted.
Therefore, to meet rapidly the requirement of user data transmission, we can configure the
threshold of 4a to a small value; however, it should not be too low, so as to avoid triggering
unnecessary channel reconfiguration to increase the bandwidth while users do not have enough
data to transmit.


The bigger this parameter is, the slower the user data transmission rate will probably be; the
smaller it is, the faster the user data transmission rate will probably be. However, if the setting
is too low, the channel bandwidth will be increased while it is unnecessary.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD TYPRABDCCCMC, and modify it through MOD
TYPRABDCCCMC, and query it through LST TYPRAB.

128k, 192k, 256k, 384k, 512k) bytes
Parameter Setting
The default value is D64. The parameter is set separately in downlink and uplink.
Event 4b: The transmission channel traffic (which is the buffered traffic in DCCC) becomes
lower than an absolute threshold. When this event occurs, the channel transmission bandwidth
will be reduced to avoid waste of resources.
The 4b event is used to check whether the traffic becomes small. When the service transmission
is about to finish, the traffic in the buffer will decrease rapidly until it becomes zero. Therefore,
the 4b event threshold can be configured to a relatively small value. Furthermore, when the
source rate of the service is relatively constant but very low, we can also configure an appropriate
4b threshold so that the low source rate can be detected and the channel bandwidth can be
accordingly reduced. Tests on the FTP service and services with low source rates show that when
the setting of the 4b threshold is slightly bigger than the size of one transmission block, the
detection required for bandwidth reduction for the two kinds of services above can be satisfied.

The bigger this parameter is, the more easily the 4b event will be triggered; however, the channel
transmission bandwidth will be reduced, which will probably influence the transmission speed
of the user data.

Parameter Setting
TimetoTrigger4A is D240 by default, i.e., 240ms. The parameter is set separately in uplink and
downlink.
Time to Trigger for event 4a is to prevent frequent trigger caused by small fluctuation of the
service traffic. It is only for the measurement report of the first trigger event.

The higher the parameter value, the harder to trigger 4a, in which case it can prevent frequent
adjustment of the BE service rate. However, too high value makes the system respond very
slowly. The smaller the parameter value, the easier to trigger event. However, small value may
trigger events frequently under small fluctuation of the service traffic.

Parameter Setting
The default value is D4000, i.e., 4s. The parameter is set separately in unlink and downlink.
The pending time after trigger for event 4a is the timer started after the event measurement report
is triggered. It has two functions: The first is that within the pending time, no more measurement
report will be sent for the same measurement ID even the condition that triggers measurement
report is met; the second is that when the pending timer expires, it judges whether the traffic is

above the upper threshold or under the lower threshold. If yes, it restarts the Time to Trigger for
event 4a timer and won’t report event 4a any more unless the timer expires.

The larger the parameter value, the harder to trigger event 4a again. Large value prevents frequent
adjustment of the BE service rate. But too large value can make the system respond very slowly.
The smaller the parameter value, the easier to trigger event again. But too low value may result

whether there is a need for state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH.
Parameter ID
DtoFStateTransTimer
Value Range
1 to 65535

1s to 65535s
Parameter Setting
Configuration of the parameter shall be based on the BE service model. The system judges
whether the users have no data to send for a long time and uses this as condition for state transition
to low activity. Whether the user has data to send can be reflected from the RLC buffered traffic:
If the user has no data to send, the RLC buffered traffic is zero. The traffic 4b event can be
configured to detect low activity.
Within the transition timer period, if there are consecutive 4b event reports and the buffered
service data is detected to be zero and the number of 4b event reports meets preset condition
when the timer expires, it can be said that the service is in low activity.

If the parameter value is too low, it would be hard to judge that the user is in relatively stable
low activity status. Too large value may waste specific channel resources.

This parameter is the maximum downlink transmitting power of the NodeB.

6.1.2 PSCH and SSCH Transmit Power
These parameters are the transmit powers of P–SCH and S–SCH in relation to PCPICH.
6.1.3 BCH Transmit Power
This parameter is the transmit power of PCCPCH bearing BCH in relation to PCPICH.
6.1.4 Max. FACH Transmit Power
This parameter defines the maximum FACH transmit power MaxFachPower (In MOD
SCCPCH, the maximum transmit powers of the two FACH channels are respectively
FACH1MaxPower and FACH2MaxPower) in relation to PCPICH.
6.1.5 PCH Transmit Power
This parameter defines the transmit power of the PCH channel in relation to PCPICH.
6.1.6 PICH Transmit Power
This parameter is the transmit power of the PICH channel in relation to PCPICH.
6.1.7 AICH Transmit Power
This parameter defines the transmit power of AICH in relation to PCPICH.
6.1.1 Maximum Cell Transmit Power

This parameter is the maximum downlink transmitting power of the NodeB.
Parameter ID
MaxTxPower
Value Range
0 to 500

0 to 50dBm, step 0.1dBm
Parameter Setting
The default value is 430, namely 43dBm.
This parameter defines the sum of the maximum transmit powers of all the downlink channels
in the cell at the same time. It should be set according to the NodeB capability, cell range and
capacity. In the actual configuration, if this value is bigger than the cell report capability, cell
setup will fail. The parameter is decided by network planning.

If this parameter is too low, the downlink capacity and the coverage will be limited. However,
it should not exceed the actual processing capability of the NodeB.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD CELLSETUP, and modify it through MOD CELLSETUP.
PCPICH Transmit Power

6.1.2 PSCH and SSCH Transmit Power

These parameters are the transmit powers of P–SCH and S–SCH in relation to PCPICH.
Parameter ID
PSCHPower
SSCHPower
Value Range
–350 to 150

–35 to 15dB, step 0.1dB
Parameter Setting
The default value is –50, namely –5dB.
These two parameters can be adjusted through measurement in the actual environment so that
the transmit powers of the synchronization channels just satisfy the UE receiving demodulation
requirement. Specifically, when UEs receive signals at different locations within the range of
the cell, the transmit power should be just enough to ensure that the UE can implement fast
synchronization in most areas at the verge of the cell. Neither PSCH nor SSCH has come through
channel code spectrum spread, so they produce more serious interference than other channels
do, especially for near-end users. Therefore, the value should not be too high.

l If the setting of this set of parameters is too low, users at the verge of cells will fail in
network searching, resulting in influence on coverage of the downlink common channel,
which will finally affect cell coverage;
l If the setting is too high, the power resources will be wasted, and other channels will be
interfered seriously, thus the cell capacity will be influenced.
Relevant Commands
For PschPower, set it through ADD PSCH, and query it through LST PSCH; for SschPower,
set it through ADD SSCH, and query it through LST SSCH. After the cell is set up, they can
both be modified through MOD CELL.
6.1.3 BCH Transmit Power

This parameter is the transmit power of PCCPCH bearing BCH in relation to PCPICH.
Parameter ID
BCHPower

Value Range
–350 to 150

Parameter Setting
The default value is –20, namely –2dB.
This parameter can also be adjusted and optimized through measurement in the actual
environment. When UEs receive signals at different locations within the range of the cell, the
transmit power should be just enough to ensure the correct demodulation of the information
carried on the channel in most areas at the verge of the cell. This setting of this parameter should
not be too high, so as to avoid unnecessary waste of the transmit power.

l If the setting of this parameter is too low, the user at the verge of the cell will fail to receive
the system information correctly, and the downlink common channel coverage will be
influenced, which will affect cell coverage;
l If the setting is too high, other channels will be interfered, the power resources will be
occupied, and consequently the cell capacity will be influenced.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD BCH, query it through LST BCH, and modify it through MOD
CELL.
6.1.4 Max. FACH Transmit Power

This parameter defines the maximum FACH transmit power MaxFachPower (In MOD
SCCPCH, the maximum transmit powers of the two FACH channels are respectively
FACH1MaxPower and FACH2MaxPower) in relation to PCPICH.
Parameter ID
MaxFachPower
Value Range
–350 to 150

Parameter Setting
The default value is 10, namely 1dB.
If the FACH power is too low, the UE will fail to receive the FACH data packets or the UE will
receive error packets in a large portion; if it is too high, the power will be wasted. Set the

maximum FACH transmit power to an appropriate value that is just enough to ensure the target
BLER.

l If the setting of this parameter is too low, the UE at the cell verge will fail to receive correctly
the services and signaling borne over the FACH, resulting in influence on the downlink
common channel coverage and the cell coverage;
l If it is too high, other channels will be interfered, the power resources will be occupied,
and consequently the cell capacity will be influenced.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD FACH, query it through LST FACH, and modify it through
MOD SCCPCH.
6.1.5 PCH Transmit Power

This parameter defines the transmit power of the PCH channel in relation to PCPICH.
Parameter ID
PCHPower
Value Range
–350 to 150

Parameter Setting
The default value of this parameter is –20, namely –2dB.
If the PCH power is too low, the UE will fail to receive the PCH data packets or the UE will
receive error packets, which will probably increase the retransmission times of paging packets,
resulting in the paging failure or the paging delay increase; if it is too high, the power will be
wasted.

l If this parameter is too low, the UE at the cell verge will fail to receive paging messages
correctly, and this will influence downlink common channel coverage and cell coverage;
l If it is too high, other channels will be interfered, the downlink transmit power will be
occupied, and consequently the cell capacity will be influenced.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD PCH, query it through LST PCH, and modify it through MOD
SCCPCH.

6.1.6 PICH Transmit Power

This parameter is the transmit power of the PICH channel in relation to PCPICH.
Parameter ID
PICHPowerOffset
Value Range
–10 to 5

–10 to 5dB
Parameter Setting
An appropriate transmit power value should be set for PICH to ensure that all the users at the
cell verge can receive the paging indications. However, to avoid power waste, the setting of the
transmit power should not be too high.

l If this parameter is too low, the UE at the cell verge will fail to receive paging messages
correctly, which will probably result in mis–operation in reading PCH channel and waste
of the UE battery and affect the downlink common channel coverage and the cell coverage;
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD CHPWROFFSET, query it through LST PICH, and modify
it through MOD PICHPWROFFSET.
6.1.7 AICH Transmit Power

This parameter defines the transmit power of AICH in relation to PCPICH.
Parameter ID
AICHPowerOffset
Value Range
–22 to 5

–22 to 5dB

Parameter Setting
An appropriate transmit power value should be set for AICH to ensure that all users at cell verge
can receive the access indication. However, to avoid waste of the power, the setting of the
transmit power should not be too high.

l If this parameter is too low, the UE at the cell verge will fail to receive the capture indication
correctly, which will influence the downlink common channel coverage and the cell
coverage;
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD CHPWROFFSET, query it through LST AICH, and modify
it throughMOD AICHPWROFFSET.

6.2.1 Paging Cycle Coefficient

This parameter is the UTRAN domain discontinuous receiving (DRX) cycle coefficient, and it
is a parameter of paging type 1.
6.2.2 Number of Paging Retransmit
This parameter is the Number of retransmissions of paging message.
6.2.1 Paging Cycle Coefficient

This parameter is the UTRAN domain discontinuous receiving (DRX) cycle coefficient, and it
is a parameter of paging type 1.

Parameter ID
DRXCycleLenCoef
Value Range
3 to 9

Null
Parameter Setting
Default value: 6.
In the idle mode, the UE can receive the paging indication in the DRX mode to reduce the power
consumption. In this case, the UE needs to detect only one paging indication in a paging occasion
within each DRX cycle. The DRX cycle length of UTRAN domain is obtained by substituting
this parameter into the formula DRX cycle = 2K × PBP frames. Where, K is the paging cycle
coefficient, and PBP is the number of paging block periods (In the FDD mode, PBP = 1).

l If this parameter is too low, the UE will detect the paging channel frequently, and thus the
battery will be consumed fast;
l If it is too high, the UE will react very slowly to paging indications, and the system may
repeatedly page the UE, resulting in increased downlink interference.
Relevant Commands
Set the parameter through SET FRC and ADD CNDOMAIN (modify it through MOD
CNDOMAIN), query it through LST FRC and LST CNDOMAIN.
6.2.2 Number of Paging Retransmit

This parameter is the Number of retransmissions of paging message.
Parameter ID
MaccPageRepeat
Value Range
0 to 2

Null
Parameter Setting
Default value: 1.

In order to improve the paging success rate, CN and RNC will both repeat paging messages.
However, paging repeat has negative effects: paging repeat will increase the paging quantity,
especially in the condition of downlink common channel congestion at the air interface; paging
repeat will increase the paging quantity by several times, which will waste the downlink channel
resources and cause failure of timely delivery of new paging messages.
In addition, to ensure the paging success rate and paging efficiency at the same time, the number
of CN retransmitting paging messages and the time interval should be considered together with
UTRAN repeat. If UTRAN repeats transmission once, the CN repeat time interval should be
bigger than 2 DRX cycles.
The following principle should be followed: CN should repeat the next paging message after
UTRAN finishes the previous paging message transmission and retransmission. To guarantee
compliance with this principle, such parameters as the number of CN retransmitting, the interval
of repeat, the number of UTRAN retransmitting and the coefficient of DRX cycle length can be
adjusted simultaneously for compliance with this principle.

If this parameter is too high, the system will repeatedly page UEs, the downlink common channel
resources will be wasted, and the downlink interference will be increased.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through SET WFMRCFGDATA, and query it through LST
WFMRCFGDATA.

8000)ms;
N300: Null
Parameter Setting
The default value of T300 is D2000; the default value of N300 is 3.

The setting of timer T300 should be considered together with the UE and UTRAN processing
delay and the propagation delay.
l The bigger the setting of timer T300 is, the longer the UE waiting time will be.
l The bigger the setting of N300 is, the higher success probability of the RRC connection
setup will be, and the longer RRC setup time will probably be.
In this case, it will be likely that a UE repeats access attempts and connection setup request
transmission, and consequently other users will be influenced seriously.

6.4.2 Number of Successive Out-of-sync Indications
This parameter is the number of successive out-of-sync indications.
6.4.3 Radio Link Failure Timer Duration
This parameter is the radio link failure timer duration. This value defines the duration of timer
TRlFailure. When the radio link set is in synchronized state, the NodeB shall start timer
TRlFailure after it receives NOutsyncInd successive out-of-sync indications, and the NodeB
shall stop and reset timer TRlFailure after receiving NInsyncInd successive in-sync indications.
When timer TRlFailure expires, the NodeB will trigger the radio link failure process, and indicate
which radio link set is out-of-sync.
6.4.4 N312 and T312
When the UE starts to set up the dedicated channel, it starts timer T312, and after the UE detects
N312 in-sync indications from L1, it will stop timer T312. Once the timer expires, it means that
the physical channel setup failed.
6.4.5 N313, N315, and T313
After the UE detects N313 successive out-of-sync indications from L1, it will start timer T313.
After the UE detects N315 successive in-sync indications from L1, it will stop timer T313. Once
the timer expires, the radio link fails.
6.4.1 Number of Successive In-sync Indications

This parameter is the number of successive in-sync indications.
Parameter ID
NInsyncInd

Value Range
1 to 256

Null
Parameter Setting
This parameter defines the number of successive in-sync indications required for the NodeB to
trigger the radio link recovery process. The radio link set remains in the initial state until it
receives NInsyncInd successive in-sync indications from L1, and then the NodeB triggers the
radio link recovery process, which indicates that the radio link set has been synchronized. Once
the radio link recovery process is triggered, the radio link set is considered to be in the
synchronized state.

The bigger this parameter is, the stricter the synchronization process will be, and the more
difficult the synchronization will be; the smaller it is, the easier the synchronization will be.
However, if the link quality is bad, a simple synchronization requirement will lead to waste of
the UE power and increase of uplink interference. In the radio link maintenance process, this
parameter is used together with the successive out-of-sync indication counter.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD CELLSETUP, query it through LST CELL, and modify it
through MOD CELL.
6.4.2 Number of Successive Out-of-sync Indications

Value Range
1 to 256

Parameter Setting
This value defines the number of successive out-of-sync indications required to receive to start
timer TRlFailure. When the radio link set is in synchronized state, the NodeB will start timer

TRlFailure after it receives NOutsyncInd successive out-of-sync indications. The NodeB shall
stop and reset timer TRlFailure after receiving NInsyncInd successive in-sync indications. When
timer TRlFailure expires, the NodeB will trigger the radio link failure process, and indicate

If this parameter is too low, the link out-of-sync decision will be likely to occur; if it is too high,
out-of-sync will not be likely to occur, but, if the link quality is bad, it will result in waste of the
UE power and increased uplink interference.
In the radio link maintenance process, this parameter is adopted together with the successive in-
sync indication counter.

7 HSDPA Parameters
Parameter Setting
Determine it according to operation strategies of operators. Reserve maximum traffic rate for
DCH on code resource when supporting HSDPA automatic code distribution. When the channel
codes used by R99 fail to reach the threshold, spare a shared channel code occupied by HS-
PDSCH to R99. The default value is SF32. SF32 indicates reserving a 64K service for DCH.

According to the current service mapping strategies, the BE service or streaming service with
service rate larger than 64 kpbs is mapped on HSDPA. As a result, the rate of services carried
on DCH is usually lower than 64 kpbs. Therefore, set the parameter to SF32. Adjust the parameter
to increase or decrease the reserved threshold as required by operators.

Parameter Setting
Set it according to actual traffic model of cell. The default value is 4.

It decides maximum number of subscribers that the NodeB can schedule in a TTI period. Set it
properly as required. In the scenarios like outdoor macro cells, with power distributed,
scheduling multiple subscribers is less probable, so configure 2 HS-SCCHs. In the scenarios
like indoor pico, with code restricted, scheduling multiple subscribers is probable, so configure
4 HS-SCCHs. If excessive HS-SCCHs are configured, the code resource will be wasted. If
inadequate HS-SCCHs are configured, the HS-PDSCH code resource or power resource will be
wasted. These two types of waste affect cell throughput rate.

0–1024s
Parameter Setting
The default value is 0s.
The serving cell is updated between different NodeBs. The buffer of original MAC-hs is reset,
so the data in the buffer is missing. As a result, the interruption time of data transfer exists. The
length of interruption time of data transfer is relevant to implementation of flow control
algorithm and RLC parameter configuration. The unit is hundred mill-second.

7 HSDPA Parameters
In the scenarios with great fluctuation of signals, if the process occurs frequently, the subscriber
will keep in the state of restoring data transfer, interruption of data transfer, and then restoring
data transfer. This impacts the average throughput.
Set this parameter to control the frequency of update of serving cell. As a result, the impact of
the process on performance of HSDPA data transfer is controlled. If the flow control algorithm
can control data in MAC-hs buffer accurately, set the parameter to 0.
If the parameter is too large in the scenarios with great fluctuation of signals, report event 1D
by UE before expiration is more probable. When the UE reports event 1D before expiration, due
to the parameter restriction, the serving cell keeps being weak cell. As a result, the throughput
declines.
Figure 7-1 Impact from over long HSDPA protection length

Set it properly to restrict the frequency to update serving cell in the scenarios with great
fluctuation of signals. This helps control the interruption of data transfer in serving cell update
between different NodeBs. It also helps control the impact on subscriber throughput.

ACT_SET_QU Active set When it is checked, the active set quality measurement
AL_SWITCH quality is allowed. After the RB setup is complete (RRC setup
measurement is complete if SIGNAL_HO_SWITCH is ON), the
switch RNC initiates signal quallity measurement to all the
cells in Active Set. If the integrated signal quality of
all the cells in Active Set is below a certain threshold,
UE reports event 2D. Then RNC will initiate the
compressed mode and send inter-frequency
measurement or inter-system measurement, or both to
trigger inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover based
on the coverage and the UE's capability.

RPRT_SWITCH report switch report Intra-frequency Measurement report to RNC
HCS_SPD_EST HCS speed When it is checked, RNC evaluates the UE's moving
_SWITCH estimation speed when it is in an HCS cell, and initiates inter-layer
switch handover by fast-mobility decision or by fast-mobility
decision according to UE's speed
IUR_SHO_DIV IUR soft- When it is checked, the soft handover diversity control
CTRL_FIELD_ handover field for the Iur interface is based on SRNC parameters

service When UE has more than one connections with the cells
in Active Set, it initiates the radio link synchronization
measurement.
SOFT_HANDO Soft handover When it is checked, the soft or softer handover is

VER_SWITCH switch allowed. When receiving a 1A, 1B, 1C, or event 1D
report, the RNC starts to add, remove or replace soft
handover cells.
1. The BE service is set up on DCH and the bit rate of
BE service or combined services exceeds the
threshold for soft handover downlink bit rate.
2. The soft handover switch is OFF and UE reports
event 1D.


switch
SIGNAL_HO_S Signal When it is checked, the RNC initiates the quality

WITCH handover measurement of Active Set after the RRC setup is
switch complete (before RB setup). In this way RNC can
trigger inter-frequency or inter-RAT handover when
the RRC setup is complete. Thus UE can be handed
over to an inter-frequency or inter-RAT neighbouring
cell more quickly when UE is located at the edge of the
cell or the signal quality of the radio link is bad.
SIGNAL_HO_SWITCH is not used to trigger inter-
frequency or inter-RAT hand over when UE only has
signal conncetion. It is used to send Active Set Quality
measurement once RRC connection is set up and RB
is not setup. If the Active Set Quality measurement has
been sent, SIGNAL_HO_SWITCH affcts nothing.
When the timing difference between the radio links
exceeds a certain threshold, UE reports 6F event and
trigger a timer; if the timing difference between the
radio links is below the threshold, UE reports 6G event.
Otherwise, when the timer exceeds the specified
interval, UE will release one or more radio links.
SRNSR_PROP SRNS When it is checked, RNC initiates SRNS relocation

G_DELAY_SW relocation under the following conditions to reduce link delay at
ITCH switch for the network side to enhance service quality:
delay 1. SRNC and CRNC is separated.

2. The Iur transmission resources are congested.
3. The service of UE is the same as the service that is
carried by the congestion link.

None

Parameter Setting
This parameter defines AAL2 path type. It describes whether the service is R99 or HSDPA
carrier on path. HSDPA service and non-HSDPA service can’t carrier on the same AAL2 path.
If the system needs to support HSDPA service, we must configure a HSDPA type AAL2 path.

HSDPA channel high peak vs. average value decides the same high peak Vs. average value for
HSDPA service in Iub interface. The burst HSDPA service will affect voice and R99 data service
if it isn’t treated diversify on transmission.
Relevant Commands
