1 Power Control Parameters
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.
2 Handover Parameters
Handover aims to ensure communication continuity and good communication quality.
Handovers in WCDMA system are of the following types: soft handover, softer handover, intrafrequency hard handover, inter-frequency hard handover, inter-RAT hard handover and so on.
Handover emerges as the important factor affecting network performance, and handover

1.1.1 Power Offset Between Access Preamble and Message Control Part
This parameter is the power offset between the last access preamble and the message control
part. The access preamble power plus this offset equals the power of the control part.
1.1.2 PRACH Initial Transmit Power Constant
This parameter is the constant for the UE to estimate the initial PRACH transmit power in the
open loop power control process.
1.1.3 PRACH Power Ramp Step
This parameter is the power increase step of the random access preambles transmitted before
the UE which receives the acquisition indicator in the random access process.

Parameter Setting
According to the field test results, the recommended value during signaling transmission is set
to 3 dB, and that during service transmission to 2 dB.

l
If the value is too high, the uplink interference is increased, and the uplink capacity is
affected.
Relevant Commands
Set the parameter through ADD PRACHTFC, delete the PRACH TFC through RMV
PRACHTFC before reconfiguring it.
It is necessary to deactivate PRACH (DEA PRACH) and the cell (DEA CELL) before RMV
PRACHTFC is executed.
Parameter ID
ConstantValue
Value Range
-35 to -10
Parameter Setting
The default value is -20, that is, -20 dB.
This parameter is used to calculate the transmit power of the first preamble in the random access
process. The formula is as follows:
Preamble_Initial_Power = PCPICH DL TX power - CPICH_RSCP + UL_interference +
Constant_Value
where
l
CPICH_RSCP is the received signaling code power of the PCPICH measured by the UE.
Issue 01 (2007-08-30)
If the parameter value is set too high, the initial transmit power becomes higher, whereas
the duration of the access process becomes shorter.
Huawei Technologies Proprietary

RAN
Network Optimization Parameter Reference
If the value is too low, to satisfy the requirement of access power, it requires more ramps
and lengthens the access period.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD PRACHBASIC and modify it through MOD
PRACHUUPARAS.
Parameter ID
PowerRampStep
Value Range
1 to 8
Parameter Setting
The default value is 2, that is 2 dB.
If this value is too high, the access process is shortened, but the probability of power waste
is higher.
If it is too low, the access process is lengthened, but the transmitting power is saved.

Issue 01 (2007-08-30)
RAN
Network Optimization Parameter Reference
Parameter Setting
The default value is 8 times.
The product of this parameter and the previous PRACH Power Ramp Step determines the
maximum ramp power of the UE within a preamble ramping cycle.
If this value is too low, the preamble power may fail to ramp to the required value, resulting
in UE access failure.
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
Set this parameter through ADD PRACHBASIC, modify it through MOD
PRACHUUPARAS, and query it through LST PRACH.
Parameter ID
Mmax
Value Range
1 to 32
Parameter Setting
The default value is 8.
If it is too high, the UE probably tries access attempt repeatedly within a long time, which
increases the uplink interference.

Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD RACH, query it through LST RACH, and modify it through
MOD RACH.
Parameter ID
DefaultConstantValue
Value Range
-35 to -10
Parameter Setting
The default value is -27, that is -27 dB.
The formula given in the protocol 25.331 is as follows:
DPCCH_Initial_power = DPCCH_Power_offset - CPICH_RSCP
Where, CPICH_RSCP is the received signaling code power of the PCPICH measured by the
UE.
If this parameter is too low, the uplink synchronization at the cell verge may fail during
initial link setup, which influences the uplink coverage.
If it is too high, it leads to instant interference to the uplink receiving, decreasing uplink
receiving performance.
Relevant Commands
Set or modify this parameter through SET FRC and query it through LST FRC.
Parameter ID
MaxAllowedUlTxPower
1-8
Issue 01 (2007-08-30)
RAN
Network Optimization Parameter Reference
Value Range
-50 to +33
Parameter Setting
The setting of this parameter is based on the planned uplink network coverage.
The default setting of MaxAllowedULTxPower is 21, which stands for 21 dBm. The values of
the other four parameters cannot be greater than the value of MaxAllowedULTxPower.
By default, the parameters MaxUlTxPowerForConv, MaxUlTxPowerForStr,
MaxUlTxPowerForInt, and MaxUlTxPowerForBac are set to 24 dBm.
If the capacity of a cell is restricted, this group of parameters are not a constraint for the cell.
The reason is that the rapid power control function can dynamically adjust the transmit power
of an UE. If the coverage of a cell is restricted, the following formula is provided according to
Noiserise = Itotal/PN.
Where:
l
Gp represents the processing gain of a service. The formula is: Gp = W/R, where W
represents signal bandwidth and R represents the data transmission rate of a service.
Ga represents antenna gain, which is the sum of the actual antenna gain and the cable loss
gain.
Gd represents the sum of diversity gains, such as multi-path diversity gain and receiver
antenna gain.
For the services that do not require full cell coverage, you can also use the previous formula to
measure the transmit power of the UE that meets the special requirement for coverage area. If
Issue 01 (2007-08-30)

RAN
Network Optimization Parameter Reference
the transmit power of an UE has reached the maximum, you can use the previous formula to
measure the uplink coverage area.
Relevant Commands
MaxAllowedUlTxPower: use the ADD CELLSELRESEL command for configuration, the
LST CELLSELRESEL command for query, and the MOD CELLSELRESEL command for
modification.
Service-oriented parameters: use the ADD CELLCAC command for configuration, the LST
CELLCAC command for query, and the MOD CELLCAC command for modification.

RRCPROCPCPREAMBLE is set to 0 by default, and the default value of
HHOPROCPCPREAMBLE is 7.
The power control preamble involves the following signalling: PHYSICAL CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION, RADIO BEARER ESTABLISHMENT, RADIO BEARER
RECONFIGURATION, RADIO BEARER RELEASE, TRANSPORT CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION, HANDOVER TO UTRAN COMMAND, RRC CONNECTION
SETUP and CELL UPDATE CONFIRM.
This parameter is initially used for uplink/downlink power control convergence, preventing UE
from using an uncontrollable power at the beginning. When the UE transmits signals on the
DPCCH, the NodeB needs a period of time to recognize the uplink signals. The length of this
period of time depends on the search implementation and the transmission delay. It is useless to
start the uplink transmission on DPDCH before the above process is completed. Because at that
time, the data can not be correctly received and will be lost. If the AM mode is used, the
retransmission may lead to a much longer delay for data transmission.
The power control algorithm 1 is the only selection during the preamble period. This parameter
is closely related to the DPCCH initial transmit power, the initial SIR target, the power control
algorithm itself and the NodeB search ability, so it should be properly adjusted in reality.
Relevant Commands
Set this parameter through ADD CELLCAC, query it through LST CELLCAC and modify it
through MOD CELLCAC.

PCPICHPower
Value Range
-100 to 500
Parameter Setting
The default setting is 330, namely 33 dBm.
This parameter should be set based on the actual system environment such as cell coverage
(radius) and geographical environment. For the cells to be covered, the downlink coverage
should be guaranteed as a premise. For the cells requiring soft handover area, this parameter
should satisfy the proportion of soft handover areas stipulated in the network planning.
For a cell with large coverage, the value of this parameter should be relatively high; otherwise,
it should be relatively low. In a planned multi-cell environment, this parameter is definite If the
value of this parameter is smaller than the planned value, coverage holes may occur when the
cells are under heavy load.
If this parameter is too low, it influences directly the downlink pilot coverage range.
If it is too high, the downlink interference increases, and the cell capacity is decreased
because a lot of system resources are occupied and the interference with the downlink traffic
channels are increased.
In addition, the configuration of this parameter also has direct influence on the distribution of
handover areas.

Value Range
MAY, MUST, MUST_NOT
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 Rake receiver, which gives the highest combination gain; the
other is selective combination at the RNC, which gives a relatively smaller combination gain.
l
The default value of the indication switch is MAY, which means the NodeB decides
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
which 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 poor.
The working status (test/normal operation) and the propagation environment should be
considered when deciding whether to implement softer combination and to adopt which kind of
softer combination.

Enum (D0, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8)

The default value is D3.
The filtering of the measurement is calculated by means of the following formula:
Fn = (1 - ) Fn - 1 + Mn
Where,
l
Fn - 1: the old measurement result of the previous moment after filtering processing.
Mn: the latest measured value received from the physical layer.
= (1/2)(k/2), where, k comes from filter coefficient, namely the local FilterCoef. When
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.
The greater this parameter, the stronger the smoothing effect on the signal, and the stronger
the fast fading resistance capability, but the weaker the tracing capability of the signal
change. If handover is not implemented in time, call drop occurs.
If this parameter is too low, the possibility of unnecessary soft handover and ping-pong
handover increases.
NOTE
As adjustment of this parameter seriously affects the entire handover performance, be cautious while setting
this parameter.

According to the Protocol TS25.331, in event 1A and 1B, W is defined as follows:
When W=0, the formula 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 greater this parameter, the higher events 1A and 1B triggering thresholds obtained

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.
If the thresholds are high, the target cell joins the active set more easily, call drop occurs
more difficultly, and the UE proportion in the state of soft handover increases, but the
forward resources are seriously occupied.
If the thresholds are low, the target cell joins the active set more difficultly, the
communication quality cannot be guaranteed, and the implementation of smoothing
handover is affected.

These values are the absolute thresholds used for 1F reports in the soft handover algorithm,

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 drops.

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 dB to 5 dB. 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 report of event 1D. The parameter can be increased appropriately in the
adjustment.
Event 1F
MNew T1f - H1f/2
MNew T1f + H1f/2
The range of this value can be adjusted within 3 dB to 5 dB. The value of this parameter is
consistent with the hysteresis value for 1B.
For a UE that has entered to the soft handover area, increased hysteresis is equivalent to a
reduced soft handover range.
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 is no influence on the actual proportion of soft handover. The greater
the hysteresis, the stronger the signal fluctuation resistance capability, and the better the pingpong effect suppressed. However, the response speed of the handover algorithm on signal
changes is 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 these parameters.

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:

SHOQualmin
Value Range
-24 to 0
Parameter Setting
The default value is -24, namely, -24 dB.
Purpose of setting this parameter is that:
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 are occupied, and more TPC bit errors are
introduced. On the contrary, the soft handover performance is 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 channels and the
demodulation capability of UEs.
The greater this parameter is set, the more difficult for the neighboring cell to join in the
active set, but the service quality of the joining cell can be ensured.
The less this parameter is set, the easier for the neighboring cell to join in the active set,
but a too-low parameter cannot restrict the service quality of the cell.

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

handover is expected to occur easily; otherwise, set it to a negative value.
The function of this parameter is to move the cell edge and configured according to actual

Parameter Setting
The default value is Periodical_reporting.
There are two optional inter-frequency handover report modes in RNC: event report and
periodical report, which are selected through the inter-frequency report mode switch. This
algorithm switch is oriented to RNC configuration.
l
Event report:
To prevent ping-pong before and after inter-frequency handover, use 2B event (when the
current in-use frequency quality is less than the absolute threshold used frequency quality
threshold, the non-used frequency quality is greater than the other absolute threshold
target frequency trigger threshold) as the trigger event for judging origination of interfrequency 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 events 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 greater than the sum of an absolute threshold
and the relative hysteresis, the delay trigger timer starts. If the requirement is always
satisfied when the timer is expired, inter-frequency handover is started after the delay
trigger timer is expired. If handover fails, handover judging continues in accordance with

2 Handover Parameters
Value Range
Enum (CPICH Ec_No, CPICH_RSCP, and BOTH)
Parameter Setting
The default setting is BOTH.
This parameter indicates the inter-frequency measurement items that are used for inter-frequency
hard handover evaluation. These items are the 2D event, the 2F event, the 2B event, and the
inter-frequency measurement item used for periodic measurement.
In addition, this parameter determines the measurement items used for evaluating the quality of
frequencies. These frequencies are used for the 2D or 2F event stopped during the start of intersystem measurement and the 3A event. On the primary stage of the 3G coverage, the full
coverage is difficult to fulfill. Some areas such as indoor area still require the GSM system to
cover. Thus, the recommended value for this parameter is CPICHRSCP in this situation.
In the measurement policy of the intra-frequency soft handover, the Ec/N0 of the pilot channel
serves as the measurement item for handover. In the cells on the edge of bearer coverage,
however, it is improper to still use Ec/N0 as the measurement item for inter-frequency hard
handover. The value of the measurement item Ec/N0 is determined by the RSCP strength of the
pilot signal and the downlink interference.
The downlink interference of the WCDMA system are mainly the background noise and the
downlink signal interference of intra-frequency cells such as local cells and neighboring cells.
The downlink interference strength of intra-frequency cells are affected by path loss and slow
fading, which is analogous to the fading of the signals (such as CPICHRSCP) received by an
UE. On the edge of the coverage area of a bearer, the fading speed of CPICHRSCP is basically
the same as the fading speed of interference when an UE in the current bearer cell moves to
another bearer cell that is related to the cell currently used by the UE. Because the background
noise is not affected by path loss, the fading speed of CPICH RSCP is slightly faster, depending
on the strength of background noise. Thus, the UE receives the change of CPICH Ec/I0 very
slowly. Both the simulation result and the actual test result prove that CPICH Ec/I0 can reach
-12 dB when CPICH RSCP received by an UE reaches about -110 dBm. According to the
relevant protocol, the minimum demodulation sensitivity of an UE is -117 dBm. Therefore, if
only Ec/I0 is used, inter-frequency measurement may not be started in the event of a call drop.
To solve this problem, you must add the selection control of the inter-frequency measurement
items of cells. That is, you must use CPICH RSCP as the measurement items of inter-frequency
cells for the cells on the edge of bearer coverage. For the central area of bearer coverage, you
can still use CPICHEc/N0 as an inter-frequency measurement item. This can enable instant interfrequency handover to avoid call drop in the event of an intra-frequency handover failure.

CAUTION
The value BOTH ensures the higher adaptability for triggering the 2D event. It can also be used
for measuring RSCP and EcN0. Thus, BOTH is regarded as the default setting. Two active sets
of measurement items are delivered simultaneously. One 2D/2F measurement item is set to
CPICH_EcN0. The other item is set to CPICH_RSCP. The 2D event report of either
measurement item can trigger the delivery of inter-frequency measurement control.

requirement of current service. After handover is completed, it is hard to hand over to the current

l
Event report:
To prevent ping-pong before and after inter-RAT 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-RAT 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-RAT event 2D
absolute threshold + hysteresis, it starts the delay trigger timer. If the clock satisfies
requirement during timer expires, start the inter-frequency handover after the delay trigger
timer is expires. If handover fails, retry in accordance with the inter-RAT measurement
periodical report.

This set of parameters are used for inter-RAT coverage handover evaluation at the RNC side,
that is, Tother_RATin the formula introduced below. It is the absolute threshold of inter-RAT cell
quality (RSSI) at the time of inter-RAT handover judging.
If the inter-RATquality in the inter-RAT 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
expires. If the inter-RAT quality satisfies the following condition before the timer gets expired:
Mother_RAT + CIO < Tother_RAT - H/2
Then the timer stops timing, and the RNC goes on waiting for receiving of the inter-RAT
measurement report.

Parameter Setting
The default value is 0 dB.
This parameter is used for the inter-RAT handover judging process. Set it based on the landform
feature of the GSM cell. UE uses the original measurement value of this cell plus this offset as
the measurement result for UE handover judging. It functions as the mobile cell border in the
handover algorithm. The greater the parameter, the higher the handover priority of this GSM
cell. Generally, configure it to 0 dB.
Relevant Commands

IRHOUsedFreqCsThdEcN0: -12 dB
IRHOUsedFreqPsThdEcN0: -13 dB
IRHOUsedFreqCsThdRscp: -97 dB
IRHOUsedFreqPsThdRscp: -107 dB
Tused: indicates the quality threshold for the inter-RAT frequency currently used.
Cell individual offset (CIO): indicates the offset set by inter-RAT cells.
H: indicates the hysteresis. The setting on the hysteresis reduces incorrect judgement caused
by jitter signals.
When the cell signal quality of current frequency is poor and is lower than the threshold defined
by this parameter, infer that the current frequency cannot better satisfy the coverage requirement
of current service. The event 2F indicates that the current frequency quality is restored.
Therefore, this parameter should be set less than the trigger threshold of event 2F or equal to the
threshold of event 2D.
For composite services, use the parameters configured for CS services.

This parameter is used to prevent the UE from being in compress mode for a long time when
the UE stands still or moves slowly. The UE's being in compress mode not only disrupts the
service quality, but brings extra interference into the system and decreases the system capability.
Most of the inter-RAT handover can be complete within 60 seconds.

Since more devices take part in the inter-RAT handover which has a complex flow, the handover
may take a longer delay, and the probability that the handover fails is relatively higher.
If the inter-RAT handover fails too much, the network resource is wasted and the service quality
is not guaranteed. Such problems can be effectively controlled by setting this parameter.

Parameter Setting
The default value of Qhyst1s is 2 (4 dB), and the default value of Qhyst2s is 1 (2 dB). Qhyst2s
is optional. If it is not configured, Qhyst2s has the same 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 cell reselection start thresholds are defined in Protocol 25.304 as follows:
1.
If Sx <= Sintrasearch, the UE implements intra-frequency measurement and starts intrafrequency cell reselection.
2.
If Sx <= Sintersearch, the UE implements inter-frequency measurement and starts interfrequency cell reselection.
3.
If Sx <= SsearchRAT, the UE implements inter-RAT measurement and starts inter-RAT cell
reselection.
If these parameters are too high, cell reselection probably starts frequently, resulting in UE
battery waste.
If they are too low, cell reselection probably starts difficultly, and the UE fails to reside
timely in a cell with good quality, and this influences the communication quality between
the UTRAN and the UE.

Parameter Setting
The default values for both ULBETraffInitBitRate and DLBETraffInitBitRate are 64 kbit/s.
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.
The higher this parameter, the less time it takes for the BE service to reach the maximum
rate, but the easier the BE service rate be adjusted downward through negotiation when the
system is congested, so it makes no sense to set it too high.
The lower this parameter, the easier for the BE service to access at this rate, but if it is set
too low, it takes a longer time to adjust to the required rate when there is a service
requirement.

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 transitionin, 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 is 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
is 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.

If this parameter is too high, the system loads after admission maybe too high, which leads
to the system congestion, and makes the system unstable.
If it is too low, the possibility of subscribers rejected increases, part of hardware resource
is idle and wasted.

The preliminary congestion is a transition status. For the uplink, it means the uplink interference

is close to the admission threshold and the call refusal rate increases significantly. The
preliminary congestion algorithm 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 OFF at the preliminary stage of the network construction when
user perception is important.
NOTE
The uplink LDR algorithm switch and downlink LDR algorithm switch are set separately.
Relevant Commands
Set uplink or downlink LDR algorithm switch with the parameter NBMLdcAlgoSwitch through
ADD CELLALGOSWITCH, query it through LST CELLALGOSWITCH, and modify it

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 lower the parameter is, the more frequently LDR action is executed, which decreases
the load quickly. However, if the value is too low, an LDR action may overlap the previous
one before the previous result is displayed in LDM.

The uplink/downlink LDR trigger thresholds must be greater than uplink/downlink LDR release

When uplink/downlink preliminary congestion status is triggered, the uplink/downlink LDR

rate. Therefore, under the current policy, the LDR trigger threshold shall be set that the
congestion is less than or close to the concerned admission threshold index.

LDR executes the actions according to the sequence configured. It executes the next action if
the last one fails. When one action is executed successfully, or its value is NOACT, or all the
actions have been executed, this LDR ends and waits for next one.
The LDR algorithm just only selects subscribers and sends control command, the action is
performed by different algorithm modules, for every action needs time to execute, and the LDR
algorithm cannot wait long time for all results, just make the decision according to one of the
results.
The inter-frequency load handover has no bad effect on QoS, and it can balance the load of
different cells, so it is always selected as the first action.
The BE traffic rate reduction is limited by DCCC switch, so only when the DCCC switch is on,
can this action work.

Uplink/Downlink LDR-BE service rate reduction user number: This parameter can be
configured according to the actual user distribution. If the proportion of high-rate users is
large, you need to set a smaller value for this parameter. If the proportion of high-rate users
is small, you need to set a greater value. Because the primary congestion control algorithm
is designed to slowly decrease cell load, you need to set a small value for this parameter.
Downlink channel code maximum reshuffling user number: Code reshuffling has a great
impact on user feelings. In addition, the reshuffled users occupy two code resources during
code reshuffling. Thus, you must set a small value for this parameter.
For each user, during a life cycle of primary congestion, a type of uplink/downlink LDR
operation can be selected only once. After a type of uplink/downlink LDR operation is selected
by a user, the uplink/downlink LDR marks the user. If this type of operation is triggered again,
this user is not selected as the candidate user. Note that an operation is performed separately in
the uplink and downlink directions. That is, the same operation is performed one time in both
the uplink direction and the downlink operation.

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 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 greater the parameters are, the higher the service rate of the user in handover is, and
the more obviously the cell load is decreased. But high value gives rise to fluctuation and
congestion of the target cell load.
The lower the parameters are, 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 load.

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 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.
For the downlink, overload means the downlink transmit power is close to or reaches the
limit and the user 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 executed to quickly lower the cell uplink/downlink
load to a reasonable range.

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, the
system performs OLC algorithm if the cell OLC switch is open, including fast TF restriction or
even user release.
The OLC trigger threshold must be greater than or equal to the OLC release threshold.

When uplink/downlink overload is triggered, the RNC immediately executes 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 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 parameters, the more likely the users released, resulting in negative effect
on the system performance.
If the parameters are set too high, the overload status is released slowly.

Parameter Setting
The default value is D1024, that is 1024 bytes. 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 is 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 the rapid requirement of user data transmission, we can configure the
threshold of 4A to a low value; however, it should not be too low, so as to avoid triggering

data to transmit.

becomes.
The smaller it is, the faster the user data transmission rate probably becomes. However, if
the setting is too low, the channel bandwidth increases while it is unnecessary.

Parameter Setting
The default value is D128, that is 128 bytes. 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
is reduced to avoid resource waste.
The 4B event is used to check whether the traffic becomes lighter. When the service transmission
is about to finish, the traffic in the buffer decreases rapidly until it becomes zero. Therefore,
event 4B 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 greater than the size of one transmission block, the
detection required for bandwidth reduction for the two kinds of services above can be satisfied.

Parameter Setting
TimetoTrigger4A is D240 by default, that is , 240 ms. 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.
A higher value of this parameter makes event 4A harder to be triggered. In such case it can
prevent frequent adjustment of the BE service rate. However, too high value makes the
system respond very slowly.
A lower value of this parameter gets event 4A to be triggered more easily. However, small
value may trigger events frequently under small fluctuation of the service traffic.

Parameter Setting
The default value is D4000, that is, 4 s. 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 is 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 does not report event 4A any more unless the timer expires.
The greater the parameter is, 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 lower the parameter is, the easier to trigger event again. But too low value may result
in frequent triggers under small fluctuation of the traffic.

Parameter ID
DtoFStateTransTimer
Value Range
1 to 65535
Parameter Setting
The default value is 180, that is, 180 s.
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 event 4B can be
configured to detect low activity.
Within the transition timer period, if there are consecutive event 4B reports and the buffered
service data is detected to be zero and the number of event 4B reports meets preset condition
when the timer expires, it can be said that the service is in low activity.

Parameter Setting
The default value is 430, namely 43 dBm.
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 greater than the cell report capability, cell
setup fails. The parameter is decided by network planning.

Value Range
-100 to 500
Parameter Setting
The default setting is 330, namely 33 dBm.
This parameter should be set based on the actual system environment such as cell coverage
(radius) and geographical environment. For the cells to be covered, the downlink coverage
should be guaranteed as a premise. For the cells requiring soft handover area, this parameter
should satisfy the proportion of soft handover areas stipulated in the network planning.
For a cell with large coverage, the value of this parameter should be relatively high; otherwise,
it should be relatively low. In a planned multi-cell environment, this parameter is definite If the
value of this parameter is smaller than the planned value, coverage holes may occur when the
cells are under heavy load.
If this parameter is too low, it influences directly the downlink pilot coverage range.
If it is too high, the downlink interference increases, and the cell capacity is decreased
because a lot of system resources are occupied and the interference with the downlink traffic
channels are increased.
In addition, the configuration of this parameter also has direct influence on the distribution of
handover areas.

-350 to 150
Parameter Setting
The default values are both -50, namely -5 dB.
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 values should not be set too high.
If the setting of this set of parameters are too low, users at the verge of cells fail in network
searching, resulting in influence on coverage of the downlink common channel, which
finally affects cell coverage.
If the setting are too high, the power resources are wasted, and other channels are interfered
seriously, thus the cell capacity is influenced.

carried on the channel in most areas at the verge of the cell. The setting of this parameter should
not be set too high, so as to avoid unnecessary waste of the transmit power.
If the setting of this parameter is too low, the user at the verge of the cell fails to receive

Parameter Setting
The default value is 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).
If this parameter is too low, the UE detects the paging channel frequently, and thus the
battery is consumed fast.
If it is too high, the UE reacts very slowly to paging indications, and the system may
repeatedly page the UE, resulting in increased downlink interference.

In order to improve the paging success rate, CN and RNC both repeat paging messages. However,

condition of downlink common channel congestion at the air interface; secondly, it increases

Issue 01 (2007-08-30)
RAN
Network Optimization Parameter Reference
the paging quantity by several times, which wastes 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
greater 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.

NInsyncInd
Value Range
1 to 256
Parameter Setting
The default value is 5.
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 greater this parameter is, the stricter the synchronization process becomes, and the
more difficult the synchronization occurs.
The smaller it is, the easier the synchronization occurs. However, if the link quality is poor,
a simple synchronization requirement leads 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 outof-sync indication counter.

RAN
Network Optimization Parameter Reference
Parameter Setting
The default value is 50.
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 starts 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 triggers the radio link failure process, and indicate which
radio link set is out-of-sync.
If this parameter is too low, the link out-of-sync decision is likely to happen.
If it is too high, out-of-sync is not likely to happen. But if the link quality is poor, it may
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 insync indication counter.

Parameter Setting
The default value is 0 s.
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.
In the scenarios with great fluctuation of signals, if the process occurs frequently, the subscriber
keeps 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 HSPA 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.

handover adjacent cell is prohibited.
7.4.4 Timer Length of Multi-Carrier Handover
To prevent ping-pong handover between multicarriers which has a bad effect on the system
performance, a protect timer MultiCarrierHoTimer is needed. After the UE is handed over from
cell A, the timer starts up. Before the timer expires, the HSDPA or HSUPA services are not
directly redirected to cell A. If the timer is zero, the timer does not start up, that is, it does not
prevent the ping-pong between multicarriers.

Parameter Setting
The default value is 20.
This parameter is the maximum user number that HSUPA cell can support; it is set according
to the product specification.
For the HSUPA admission, the user number must be counted first. If the current HSUPA user
number is less than this parameter, the admission request is being analyzed, or else, the admission
is rejected directly.
If this parameter is too high, the product capacity cannot support all the HSUPA users after
admission, and cannot provide satisfying services.
If it is too low, part of the users are rejected for admission, and part of the resource is idle

When it is checked and the UE processes macrodiversity, the RNC starts the 6F6G measurement.
When the UE has more than two links in the active
set, the UE triggers the radio link synchronization
parameters measurement.
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.

IUBCongCtrlSwitch
Value Range
Enum (ON, OFF)
Parameter Setting
The default value is OFF.
When this switch is open, the Iub bandwidth restriction algorithm works, so that when the
occupied bandwidth of Iub interface exceeds the Iub congestion trigger threshold, the algorithm
uses LDR to periodically reduce some BE service rates or AMR service rates until the occupied
bandwidth is lower than the Iub congestion release threshold.
In case that the transmission resource of Iub interface is scarce and the carrier wants to
admit more users by sacrificing some user perception, this switch shall be ON.
When the transmission resources are abundant, this switch shall preferably be OFF.

If the available forward bandwidth is less than or equal to FWDCONGBW, the forward
congestion alarm is emitted. If the available backward bandwidth is less than or equal to
BWDCONGBW, the backward congestion alarm is emitted.
11.3.2 Forward/Backward Congestion Clear Threshold
If the available forward bandwidth is greater than FWDCONGCLRBW, the forward congestion
alarm is cleared. If the available backward bandwidth is greater than BWDCONGCLRBW, the
backward congestion alarm is cleared.
11.3.3 Iub Bandwidth Congestion Control Algorithm Switch
This parameter is used to control the Iub bandwidth congestion algorithm.

After the Iub bandwidth is restricted, you can start the timer that is used for reducing service
rate. By using the timer, you can periodically select the users of the BE service and the AMR
voice service and reduce the rate of the services for solving the Iub congestion problem.

RAN
Network Optimization Parameter Reference
Parameter Setting
The default value is OFF.
When this switch is open, the Iub bandwidth restriction algorithm works, so that when the
occupied bandwidth of Iub interface exceeds the Iub congestion trigger threshold, the algorithm
uses LDR to periodically reduce some BE service rates or AMR service rates until the occupied
bandwidth is lower than the Iub congestion release threshold.
In case that the transmission resource of Iub interface is scarce and the carrier wants to
admit more users by sacrificing some user perception, this switch shall be ON.
When the transmission resources are abundant, this switch shall preferably be OFF.

Set the parameter through ADD NODEBALGOPARA, query it through LST
NODEBALGOPARA, and modify it through MOD NODEBALGOPARA.

Parameter Setting
The parameter setting consisits of two parts: the time delay of Iub transport network + 10 ms
l
Part one:
The transmission delay period while data is transmitted on HS-DSCH, which consists of
the delay of data buffering in each processing unit and the delay of transmission through
the network. The time delay of ATM transmission network differs from that of the IP
transmission network. It is recommended to send data frames when the network is less
busy, and get the transmission delay differences among labeled samples at the NodeB
receiver. (The NodeB with enhanced performance can get the time delay of data frame
transmission.)
But there is no test result at present, and it is arranged for the time being as follows:
For Iub interface with ATM networking: 0 ms;
For Iub interface with IP networking: the time delay target of IP transport network.

Network Optimization Parameter Reference
Parameter Setting
The default value is 29000, which stands for 29 km.
You can set and adjust a value for this parameter based on the network planning and network
optimization result. In case the cell radius cannot be determined precisely, the set cell radius
must be greater than the required cell radius. The set cell radius, however, should be properly
great. Otherwise, the extra network resources are wasted and the system processing delay occurs.
Based on the data provided by relevant products, the handover synchronization time increases
by a maximum of 60 ms if the cell radius changes its value in increments of 3.75 km.
CAUTION
l
When using the RRU, you must set the sum of the cell radius and the fiber transmission
delay as the cell radius.
If the access board of the NodeB is configured to support multiple sectors, the maximum
of the configurable cell radius is 30 km.
Relevant Commands
On the NodeB LMT, set the parameter through MOD LOCELL (BTS3812E, BTS3812A,

Parameter Setting
The default value is 0. The inner radius of a cell handover radius must be at least 78.125 m, that
is, 1 chip, shorter than the cell radius.
You can set and adjust a value for this parameter based on network planning and network
optimization result. In case the cell handover range cannot be determined precisely, the value
set for the cell handover radius must be smaller than the minimum cell handover radius required
for network planning. The set value, however, should be properly small. Otherwise, the system
processing delay may occur.
CAUTION
When using the RRU, you must set the sum of the actual cell handover radius and the fiber
transmission delay as the cell handover radius.
