WCDMA RAN
Adaptive RACH Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
When a large number of UEs simultaneously initiate a random access procedure in a cell, the
received total wideband power (RTWP) of this cell becomes extremely high. To reduce the
RTWP in this scenario, Huawei offers Adaptive RACH. Adaptive RACH enables the RNC to
dynamically adjust the settings of random access parameters for a cell based on the uplink power
load and number of acknowledged random accesses in a specified period of time. This feature
can reduce a cell's RTWP and increase its capacity.
2.2 Benefits
When the RTWP of a cell is high due to a large number of random accesses, Adaptive RACH
helps reduce the RTWP by 0.3 dB to 0.5 dB or improve the HSUPA throughput by about 5%.

WCDMA RAN
Adaptive RACH Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description
3 Technical Description
enables the RNC to dynamically adjust the settings of random access parameters based on the
uplink power load and number of acknowledged random accesses. The RNC broadcasts the new
settings of random access parameters to UEs. The random access parameters include the constant
for calculating the initial transmit power, ramping step for random access preambles, and
maximum number of preamble retransmissions.
The RNC measures the number of acknowledged random accesses in a cell when the
ACK_PRACH_PREAM_MEAS check box under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter in the ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH command is selected.
Adaptive RACH is activated when the ADAPTIVE_RACH and
ACK_PRACH_PREAM_MEAS check boxes under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter in the ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH command are selected.
The RNC dynamically adjusts the settings of the random access parameters as follows:
l When the cell uplink load is greater than or equal to the value of the OptiStartLoadState
parameter and the number of acknowledged random accesses in a cell is greater than or
equal to the value of the RandomAccessCongestThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter, the
RNC broadcasts the optimized settings of random access parameters (OptiConstantvalue
(BSC6900,BSC6910), OptiPowerRampStep(BSC6900,BSC6910), and
OptiPreambleRetransMax(BSC6900,BSC6910)) to UEs.
l When the number of acknowledged random accesses is less than or equal to the value of
the RandomAccessClearThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter, the RNC broadcasts the
original settings of random access parameters (Constantvalue(BSC6900,BSC6910),
PowerRampStep(BSC6900,BSC6910), and PreambleRetransMax(BSC6900,BSC6910))
to UEs.
Compared with the original settings, the optimized settings reduce the value of the constant for
calculating the initial transmit power, lower the ramping step for random access preambles, and
increase the maximum number of preamble retransmissions. Therefore, using the optimized
settings reduces the interference to uplink channels and ultimately reduces the cell RTWP when
the cell uplink load is greater than the value of the OptiStartLoadState parameter and the number
of acknowledged random accesses is greater than the value of the RandomAccessCongestThd
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter. When the number of acknowledged random accesses is less
than or equal to the value of the RandomAccessClearThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter, using
the optimized setting increases the delay during random access.

Adaptive RACH Feature Parameter Description 6 Engineering Guidelines
6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use Adaptive RACH

This feature is recommended for a cell in which with high RTWP due to a large number of
random accesses cause high RTWP.
This feature takes effect after activation if the cell meets the following conditions:
l The uplink power load is greater than the value of the OptiStartLoadState parameter. This
parameter is set to 50% by default.
l The average number of acknowledged random accesses (indicated by the
VS.Random.Access.ACKNum.Mean counter) is greater than the value of the
RandomAccessCongestThd parameter. This parameter is set to 20 by default.
6.2 Required Information

The information to be collected for activation is as follows:
l VS.MeanRTWP: average RTWP of a cell. This counter is used to calculate the uplink power
load of a cell.
The uplink power load of a cell can be calculated using the following formula: uplink power
load = 1 - (1/RoT). In this formula, the rise over thermal (RoT) equals to the difference
between the RTWP and the background noise. In addition, the RoT needs to be converted
into linear quantities.
l VS.Random.Access.ACKNum.Mean: average number of acknowledged random accesses
in a cell.
The RNC measures the number of acknowledged random accesses in a cell when the
ACK_PRACH_PREAM_MEAS check box under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter
in the ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH command is selected.

PW Cal ) Adaptive RACH
feature triggers an
adjustment of
random access
parameters. If this
parameter is set to a
large value, the
power used to
transmit the first
PRACH preamble is
high. In this case, the
access delay is short
but the uplink
capacity of the target
cell decreases. If this
small value, the
power used to
transmit the first
PRACH preamble is
low. In this case, the
access delay is long
but the uplink
capacity of the target
cell is not greatly
affected.

Optimized Max OptiPreambleRe- This parameter takes BSC internal

Random Access transMax effect only after the planning
Preamble Retrans (BSC6900,BSC6910 Adaptive RACH
) feature triggers an
adjustment of
random access
parameters. If this
large value, some
UEs will increase
their transmit power
and repeatedly
attempt to access the
target cell. In this
case, the interference
from these UEs on
other UEs increases.
If this parameter is
set to a small value,
the UE cannot
increase to the target
value the power used
to transmit
preambles and may
therefore fail to
access the target cell.

WCDMA RAN

a short time but the
power consumption
in this process is
high. When a large
number of UEs
simultaneously
access a cell, the
uplink load of the cell
may become heavy.
If this parameter is
set to a small value,
the access process
takes a long time but
the power
consumption in this
process is low. When
a large number of
UEs simultaneously
access a cell, the
uplink load of the cell
may not become
heavy.

6.4 Performance Monitoring

To evaluate the performance of this feature, check whether the RTWP of each cell decreases or
the HSUPA throughput of each cell increases after the feature is activated.
The RTWP and HSUPA throughput of a cell changes with the cell load. Therefore, the changes
in RTWP and HSUPA throughput in a short period of time after this feature is activated do not
reflect the performance of this feature. It is recommended that you check the RTWPs and HSUPA
throughput for 3 to 5 days before and after this feature is activated.

WCDMA RAN
The RTWP of each cell can be checked in the following ways:
1. Counters VS.MaxRTWP and VS.MeanRTWP on the RNC side
2. Counters VS.HSUPA.LoadOutput.0 to VS.HSUPA.LoadOutput.25 on the NodeB side
The HSUPA throughput of each cell can be checked through the value of the RNC counter
VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput.TotalBytes.
6.5 Parameter Optimization

Setting the RandomAccessCongestThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) and OptiStartLoadState
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameters to smaller values increases the probability that this feature
takes effect.
6.6 Troubleshooting
For 3900 series base stations configured with a WBBPa board, cells carried on this WBBPa
board do not support this feature. If such a cell is enabled with the Adaptive RACH feature, the
RNC will send an error message (NBAP_ERR_IND_COMM) to the NodeB. In this case, disable
this feature for this cell.

tch2 0 UCELL 151202 Pool Whether the function of UE location-based multi-
LICENS WRFD- Campin frequency-band DRD is available. When the conditions
E 151203 g of path loss are met, cell edge UEs in a high-frequency-
MOD Strategy band cell perform the DRD procedure towards a low-
WRFD- frequency-band cell, or cell center UEs in a low-
UCELL 150236 Switch
LICENS for Mass frequency-band cell perform the DRD procedure
E WRFD- Event towards a high-frequency-band cell. The function of UE
151201 location-based multi-frequency-band DRD takes effect
Load only when this parameter is turned on and the
WRFD- Based
150232 "BasedUELocDRDSwitch" parameter in the "SET
Dynami UDRD" or "ADD UCELLDRD" command is also
WRFD- c turned on. 2. LOAD_BASED_PCPICH_PWR_ADJ:
150246 Adjustm Whether the license function switch for Load Based
ent of Dynamic Adjustment of PCPICH is enabled. 3.
PCPICH ADAPTIVE_RACH_SWITCH(License Switch for
Adaptiv Adaptive RACH): Cell-level license switch for the
e RACH adaptive RACH feature. When this switch is turned on,
Multiba the adaptive RACH is activated. When this switch is
nd turned off, this feature is deactivated. 4.
Direct CAMPING_STRATEGY_SWITCH(Switch for Camp
Retry Policy Switching in Heavy Traffic): Whether to enable
Based the camping policy switching function when traffic is
on UE heavy. This is a license switch for the function. When
Location the switch is turned on, the camping policy switching
function is enabled if traffic is heavy in the entire
Service
network. Then, the target cell is no longer a preferred
Steering
camping cell for the UE in question, but a random
and
camping cell. 5. FACH_POOL_SWITCH: Function
Load
switch for the FACH Pool feature. When this switch is
Sharing
turned on, the FACH Pool feature is activated and the
in
P2F-triggered redirection algorithm is also activated.
CELL_F
Note that P2F indicates a CELL_PCH/URA_PCH-to-
ACH
CELL_FACH state transition. 6.
State
TCH: Function switch for the Service Steering and Load
Sharing in CELL_FACH State feature. When this
switch is turned on, this feature is activated. This feature
incorporates the P2F-triggered redirection algorithm for
real-time services, the P2F-triggered redirection
algorithm for non-real-time services, and the algorithm
of P2F-triggered redirection in case of P2D failures for
real-time services.

OptiStar BSC690 ADD WRFD- Load Meaning: Uplink power load states for the adaptive
tLoadSt 0 UCELL 020102 Measure RACH feature. The RNC uses the optimized random-
ate ADAPT ment access-related parameter settings when the uplink
RACH power load of a cell matches any of the following states:
MOD light, normal, loaded, heavy, and overload. The light
UCELL state indicates that the uplink power load is in the range
ADAPT between 0% and 30%. The normal state indicates that
RACH the uplink power load is in the range between 30% and
50%. The loaded state indicates that the uplink power
load is in the range between 50% and 70%. The heavy
state indicates that the uplink power load is in the range
between 70% and 95%. The overload state indicates that
the uplink power load is in the range between 95% and
100%.
