RAN2881
Brief Description:
The feature implements 3GPP mechanism (APR) for inter-
RAN2067 or
RAN3069
* The support of 3GPP absolute layer priorities is mandatory for reselections towards LTE (LTE capable UE), while optional within WCDMA.
UEs with absolute layer priority capability in above systems must also support absolute priority in GSM (unless it is not supported by the UE).

The complete absolute priority reselection mechanism involving IF WCDMA, GSM & LTE layers is available when both: RAN2881 and RAN2067/3069 are activated in the network.

Main Menu
When RAN2881 APR is used in the network the Operator can assign each IF WCDMA layer (carrier) or
group of GSM frequencies with a number indicating how much it is preferred compared to other
layers. The layer preferences applies to idle mode and PCH/URA-PCH.
Eight priority levels are available, 0 being the lowest & 7 the highest.
Same RAT layers may share the same priority but it is not allowed for layers in different RATs.

The ARP mechanism is intended only for reselection of inter-freq WCDMA or inter-RAT cells.
Reselection of intra-freq cells use legacy cell ranking-based mechanism.
In APR reselection the UE searches the IF/inter-RAT layers in their priority order, looking for a suitable
cell. Higher priority layers are considered first. If no cell is found then IF WCDMA equal priority layers
are checked. If still no result, the lower priority layers are tried (WCDMA or inter-RAT).
APR may be applied to 1) IF WCDMA & GSM or 2) only IF WCDMA or 3) only GSM layers. In 2) the
cell ranking reselection is used for GSM, in 3) for WCDMA.

When APR is in use & UE camped on WCDMA cell, the higher priority layers are considered first for
inter-freq or inter-RAT neighbors search.
UE always periodically measures neighbor cells on higher prioritized layers, irrespectively of current
cell received power/RSCP or quality/EcNo (only the rate of measurements is influenced).
The neighbor cell on higher priority layer is reselected if its signal (Srxlev) by at least Treselection
(WCEL:Treselection or WCEL:TreselectionPCH) time is good enough, that is above threshold
Threshx,high (HOPI:AdjiThreshigh or HOPG:AdjgThreshigh).*
* HOPL:AdjlThreshold & reselection of LTE layer is covered by RAN2067 LTE Interworking feature
The neighbor with highest signal level (Srxlev) is selected in case more then one are available on
prioritized layer (3GPP Release 8).

Absolute Priority general mechanism reselecting lower or equal priority layer cell
below/equal
to
First the IF WCDMA neighbors are searched on equal priority layers. If not found, then neighbors
on lower priority layers are evaluated (IF or inter-RAT). The search is triggered only when current
cell signal dropped below min required level (WCEL:Threshservlow) or UE lost the network.
The neighbor can be reselected when its signal by at least Treselection (WCEL:Treselection or
WCEL:TreselectionPCH) time is good enough. That is its Srxlev is above Threshx,low threshold
(HOPI:AdjiThreshlow or HOPG:AdjgThreshlow.
When more neighbors on certain priority layer fulfils APR reselection condition then one with highest
signal (Srxlev) is selected.

The HOPI template assigned to ADJI:RtHopiIdentifier is used to determine WCDMA absolute priority
parameters broadcast in UTRAN Priority Info list of SIB19.
Absolute priorities are defined per frequency layer, thus cells on same carrier should have same priority.
When neighbors on same carrier use different HOPI templates, the one with highest priority is taken
(AdjiAbsPrioCellReselec), to determine absolute priority parameters for given WCDMA layer.
When more HOPI with same, highest priority is
used by neighbors on same carrier, the one

Absolute priorities are defined per frequency group, thus any neighbor using same band indicator and
BCCH should have same priority.
When neighbors from same group use different HOPG templates, the one with highest priority is taken
(AdjgAbsPrioCellReselec), to determine absolute priority parameters for given group.
