Inter-Freq. Neighbor Considerations Inter-Freq Neighbor Relations between 10612 and (10562 and 10587) SIB11 (on freq carrier

10612) shows inter-frequency neighbor relations for 10587

10587 is a dedicated HS carrier so UE should not camp on this carrier

Large negative Qoff will push the idle UEs from 10587 to 10562 so UE will not stay on 10587 – UE will waste time in re-selecting from 10612 to 10587 and then from 10587 to 10562

Suggest removing the inter-freq neighbors for 10612 -> 10587

Inter-Freq. Neighbor Considerations Inter-Freq Neighbor Relations between 10612 and (10562 and 10587) Also the inter-freq neighbor

relations for carrier freq 10587 were listed before those for carrier freq 10562 There were 22 inter-freq

neighbors set for 10587 Only 8 inter-freq neighbors set

for 10612 30 inter-freq neighbors make

the UEs very busy in measuring these cells

The more important inter-freq neighbors should be placed in the SIB11 first After all, inter-freq neighbors for 10587 are not needed (should be removed)

Multi-carrier Strategy – Hanoi

From another log, frequency changes from 10587 to 10562 could also be observed in connected mode due to bad coverage on 10587 (some cells may not have the second carrier 10587)

UE call setup on carrier frequency 10562 was re-directed to carrier frequency 10587

Need to clarify the multi-carrier camping and call setup redirection strategies From the logs, it looks like that UE camps on carrier frequency 10562 UE may get redirected to carrier frequency 10587 upon call setup UE should re-select to frequency carrier 10562 upon completion

set for freq 10612 in SIB11 without Qoffset

No inter-freq neighbor set for freq 10587 in SIB11

10562 and 10612 seem to be the base carriers

10587 is a dedicated carrier for HS call setup redirection

Hanoi Network Configurations

1st Configuration (for low traffic cells) One carrier: 10562

2nd Configuration (for medium traffic cells)

Two carriers: 10562 + 10587(HS)

3rd Configuration (for high traffic cells) Three carriers: 10562 + 10587(HS) + 10612

This explains why a large negative Qoffset is used to force the idle UEs back

to 10562 10587 mainly for HS traffic (with call setup redirection from 10562) 10562 gives the best contiguous coverage because every cell has this

carrier

QC Recommended Settings (Rev K) Comments

T300 2s 1.2 seconds

Changes to Qualcomm setting can help the overall call setup time in case RACH attempt failure occurred. Low priority change. There should not be impact on NW KPI’s

N300 5 5

Mmax 32 3 to 6

Preamble Retrans Max 32 6 to 10

Existing settings suggest many preamble retransmission attempts with smaller steps which would lead to slower ramp-up and unnecessary uplink interference. QC recommendation is to increase step size and reduce the number of preamble attempts. Closed loop power control can effectively correct required transmit power at later stage.

Power Ramp Step 1dB 2 to 3 dB

Constant Value -19dB -27 to -24 dB

Power offset for the initial preamble (higher constant value can compensate for slower ramp-up, but may use more power than needed) – need to check the preamble stats.

Power Offset Pp-m -4dB 0 to 2 dB

QC recommendation allows a higher message transmission power for the RRC Connection Request to improve the call setup success rate. Closed loop power control can effectively correct required transmit power at later stage.

Event 1b Reporting Range 6dB 4.5dB

Larger ASET size expected as the UE holds onto the degrading cell until it is 6dB below the strongest ASET cell. This can avoid kicking a cell out of the ASET easily and needing to add back quickly – this approach can help performance if cell quality is changing rapidly.

Too long to repeat Event 1c MRMs – this may cause delay of ASET update and thus result in high interference or even call drops

Event 1c Hysteresis = 8 * 0.5 = 4dB 3dB The super long TTT1c is going to cause performance issues in case of fast rising pilots, especially when R1b is set large (6dB) such that UE may hold onto some weak cells in the ASET, that would take long time to replace.

Selecting RLC PDU Size and TSP Current RLC PDU size and TSP are good for Cat 6 UE

For Targeted Throughput of 7Mbps using Cat 8 UE # RLC PDU/sec = 7Mbit / 320 (PDU payload) = 21875 PDUs/second # RLC PDU in RLC RTT(assumed to be 50ms) = 21875 * 0.05 = 1094 < RLC Rx Win (2047) But in the worst case, # RLC PDU in RLC RTT(50ms) + TSP (60ms) = 21875 * 0.11 = 2406 > RLC Rx Win (2047) Chances of RLC window stall!

Therefore, a bigger PDU size or shorter TSP should be used for HSDPA Cat 8 if RLC RTT does not improve

RLC RTT + TSP < 93ms in order to keep 7Mbps with 336 bits RLC PDUs If RLC RTT = 50ms (fixed), then TSP = 40ms should be set (< RLC RTT) Duplicate RLC retransmissions can happen so RLC BLER must be low

RLC Reset Parameters – MaxRST MaxRST

Definition: Controls the maximum number of transmissions of RESET PDU (= MaxRST-1) before declaring Radio Link failure

Tradeoff:

MaxRST releases the radio connection; it is a tradeoff between: maximizing the probability of maintaining the Radio Link in temporarily

poor radio conditions,

minimizing the delay of releasing a call in unrecoverable, bad radio conditions.

For PS data calls, temporarily reduced throughput will be perceived more favorably by the end user than a dropped call.

Considering the risk of causing multi-RAB call drops, large MaxRST should be used

Recommended: 32 (max)

How long would it take to drop the call under continuous bad radio channel conditions?

Time

HCMC Ericsson: (30-1)*140 + (4-1)*250 = 4810 ms or 4.81 secondsHanoi Huawei: (20-1)*250 + (32-1)*450 = 18700 ms or 18.7 secondsQualcomm: (40-1)*150 + (32-1)*1000 = 36850 ms or 36.85 seconds

The idea is to keep up the PS call so as to avoid dropping the multi-RAB call affecting the voice service. Suggest holding onto the call until RLF due to L1.

OVSF Code Allocation Each HSDPA only user consumes only one fixed Associated DPCH

which requires one SF128 or SF256 code resource (SF256 more typical), and up to 15 SF16 codes are dynamically shared

(Dynamically assigned and shared among all R99 and HSPA users)

HSUPA requires one common E-AGCH SF = 256 and for each UE, one E-RGCH+E-HICH SF = 128

Code Allocation to Allow 15 HS-PDSCHs To support 15x SF16 HS-PDSCHs, all non- HS-PDSCH channels need

to fit into the first SF16 code (= 8x SF128 codes) CPICH, PCCPCH, AICH and PICH => 2x SF128 codes

One SCCPCH SF128 or SF64 for FACH and PCH => 1x or 2x SF128 code

One HS-SCCH => 1x SF128 code

This allows space of 3x / 4x SF128 codes for the following 1x SF128 for RRC Conn Setup 1x SF256 for R99 A-DPCH 1x SF256 for E-AGCH (for HSUPA) 1x SF128 for E-RGCH+E-HICH (for HSUPA)

(HSDPA + HSUPA) user consumes: One SF256 A-DPCH (assuming F-DPCH is not deployed) One SF128 E-RGCH and E-HICH

In addition, a common E-AGCH (One SF256) is required for all HSUPA users in the cell
