WCDMA RAN
Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
Issues
On macro-micro co-carrier networks, a macro cell generally transmits at a maximum power of
20 W and a micro cell transmits at a maximum power of 1 W or 5 W. This results in a
difference of 13 dB or 6 dB in the downlink pilot power between the macro cell and micro
cell.
The power difference creates two problem areas, which are shown as 1A'-1A problem area
and 1A-1D problem area in Figure 2-1. In these areas, the UE is closer to the micro cell than
to the macro cell. Therefore, the received signal strength at the micro cell from the UE is
greater than that received at the macro cell. In this case, the UE connects to the macro cell to
set up the best downlink channel but connects to the micro cell to set up the best uplink
channel. Therefore, the uplink boundary does not coincide with the downlink boundary. The
two problem areas are described as follows:
l 1A'-1A problem area
In the 1A'-1A problem area, the best cell for a UE is the macro cell, and the link between
the UE and the micro cell is not added to the active set. In this case, the micro cell can
neither receive signals from the UE nor control the UE power, and therefore the UE
transmit power causes interference to the micro cell. In addition, the UE may block the
uplink signals of the micro cell because it is closer to the micro cell.
l 1A-1D problem area
In the 1A-1D problem area, the best cell for a UE is the macro cell, and the link between
the UE and the micro cell is also added to the active set. In this case, both the macro cell
and the micro cell perform uplink inner-loop power control on the UE. Inner-loop power
control performed by the micro cell plays the leading role because the uplink signal-to-
interference ratio (SIR) on the dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) received in
the micro cell is greater than that received in the macro cell. This affects the HSDPA or
HSUPA throughput for the macro cell. For details about power control, see Power
Control Feature Parameter Description.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 2-1 Macro-micro problem areas and events involved in Macro & Micro Co-carrier
Uplink Interference Control
Solutions
The WRFD-150201 Macro & Micro Co-carrier Uplink Interference Control feature is
introduced to address the preceding issues. This feature consists of the following sub-features:
l WRFD-15020102 Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover
The Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control sub-feature increases the background noise
and reduces the receiver sensitivity for the micro cell to eliminate the difference between the
uplink and downlink boundaries for the macro and micro cells. This sub-feature involves both
partial and full desensitization.
l Partial desensitization
By increasing the background noise and reducing the receiver sensitivity for the micro
cell, partial desensitization prevents UEs in the macro cell from blocking the uplink
signals of the micro cell. Partial desensitization also makes the uplink boundary move
towards the micro cell, which narrows the difference in the uplink between macro and
micro cells.
Partial desensitization is triggered immediately after Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity
Control is enabled.
Partial desensitization has the following benefits:
– Prevents UEs carried on the macro cell's RACH and R99 channel from blocking the
uplink of the micro cell
– Moves the uplink boundary so that the UE can detect downlink signals from the
micro cell
When there is a significant downlink power difference between macro and micro
cells, downlink signals from the micro cell are blocked. In this case, partial
desensitization for a newly established micro cell moves the uplink boundary to
make the micro cell detectable.
l Full desensitization
By increasing the background noise for the micro cell, full desensitization makes the
uplink boundary coincide with the downlink boundary. Once the uplink SIR on the
DPCCH received in the micro cell is equal to that received in the micro cell, the
difference in the uplink between the macro and micro cells is eliminated for UEs in the

WCDMA RAN
uplink boundary. During this process, desensitization intensity depends on the PCPICH
power difference between the macro and micro cells, background noise of the cells, and
receive capabilities of the cells.
For details about how to calculate desensitization intensity, see section 3.3 Calculating
Desensitization Intensity.
Full desensitization and partial desensitization are implemented on a per-cell basis.
Partial desensitization intensity equals full desensitization intensity minus
Total2PartDesenseDiff(BSC6900,BSC6910). If partial desensitization intensity is 0, it means
partial desensitization is not implemented.
If any UE is in a macro-micro problem area, the Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency
Redirection and Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover features perform as follows:
l Redirect the UE in the RRC connection setup procedure to an inter-frequency macro cell
that has no intra-frequency neighboring micro cells.
l Blindly hand over the UE in connected mode to an inter-frequency macro cell that has no
intra-frequency neighboring micro cells.
The redirection and handover ensure that few UEs implement services in the macro-micro
problem areas.
Concept Definition
Figure 2-1 shows the macro-micro problem areas and events involved in Macro & Micro Co-
carrier Uplink Interference Control.
Table 2-1 Concept Definition Description

Uplink boundary When a UE resides at the uplink boundary between the macro
and micro cells, the macro and micro cells receive equal
uplink SIR on the DPCCH.
Downlink boundary When a UE resides at the downlink boundary between the

macro and micro cells, the UE receives equal Received Signal
Code Power (RSCP) on the Primary Common Pilot Channel
(P-CPICH) from the macro and micro cells
Event 1A' This event helps identify the uplink boundary between macro
and micro cells. Once a UE moving towards the micro cell
reaches the uplink boundary, the UE reports an event 1A'
measurement report. Event 1A' differs from event 1A in
threshold. The RNC distinguishes the events according to their
measurement IDs. The threshold of event 1A' depends on
desensitization intensity. For details, see section 5.2 Event 1A'
Measurement Control.
1A'-1A problem area The RNC considers that the UE is in the 1A'-1A problem area
once the RNC receives event 1A' from a neighboring micro
cell.

WCDMA RAN
1A-1D problem area The RNC obtains information about an UE's active set through
service changes, channel changes, or handovers. If the best
cell for the UE is the macro cell and the link between the UE
and the micro cell is also in the active set, the RNC considers
that the UE is in the 1A-1D problem area.
Event 1A This event indicates that the P-CPICH enters the reporting
range during an intra-frequency soft handover. For details, see
section "Intra-Frequency Handover Measurement" in
Handover Feature Parameter Description.
Event 1D This event indicates that the best cell changes during an intra-
frequency soft handover. For details, see section "Intra-
Frequency Handover Measurement" in Handover Feature
Parameter Description.
2.2 Architecture
On macro-micro co-carrier networks, the three sub-features work together to achieve
optimum performance.
l Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control uses partial desensitization to increase the
background noise and reduce the receiver sensitivity for the micro cell, which prevents
UEs in the macro cell from blocking the uplink of the micro cell. Partial desensitization
also makes the uplink boundary move towards the micro cell, which narrows the
difference in the uplink between the macro and micro cells and the 1A'-1A problem area.
Figure 2-2 Partial desensitization
l Partial desensitization cannot completely solve the imbalance between uplink and
downlink in macro and micro cells. Therefore, Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency

WCDMA RAN
Redirection or Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover transfers UEs in the
macro-micro problem areas to an inter-frequency macro cell, which prevents call drops
or throughput decrease for the UEs.
Figure 2-3 Transferring UEs in macro-micro problem areas to an inter-frequency macro

cell
l If UE transfer fails, Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control is performed to increase

the background noise and reduce the receiver sensitivity for the micro cell. This makes
the uplink SIR on the DPCCH received in the micro cell equal to that received in the
micro cell. This method eliminates the difference in the uplink between the macro and
micro cells and reduces the call drop rate in the problem areas.
Figure 2-4 Full desensitization in a micro cell

WCDMA RAN
It is good practice to use the three sub-features together if they all can be implemented on a
network.
2.3 Benefits
WRFD-15020103 Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control
Upon detecting a UE in the macro-micro problem area, Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity
Control reduces the receiver sensitivity for the micro cell. This mitigates uplink interference
to the micro cell caused by the UE in the macro cell and increases HSDPA and HSUPA
throughput for UEs in the problem areas.
WRFD-15020101 Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Redirection

Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Redirection redirects UEs in the macro-micro problem
areas to an inter-frequency macro cell to reduce full desensitization probabilities in the micro
cell. In this manner, UEs in the problem areas have better user experience, and uplink
interference to the micro cell caused by UEs in the macro cell is minimized.
WRFD-15020102 Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover

The benefit of Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover is the same as that of Macro &
Micro Joint Inter-frequency Redirection. Specifically, this sub-feature transfers UEs in the
macro-micro problem areas to an inter-frequency macro cell for reducing full desensitization
probabilities in the micro cell. In this manner, UEs in the problem areas have better user
experience, and uplink interference to the micro cell caused by UEs in the macro cell is
minimized.

Sensitivity Control
3.1 Overview
Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control is controlled by the cell-level switch
COMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910). Turning on the switch for a micro cell
with CellScaleInd set to TRUE triggers partial desensitization.
Upon detecting a target UE in the problem areas, the RNC triggers full desensitization for the
neighboring micro cell if Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover is disabled or fails.
The RNC then starts the full desensitization disabling timer
TotalDesensCancelTimeLen(BSC6900,BSC6910). After the timer expires, the RNC checks
for target UEs in the problem areas. If the RNC detects target UEs, it resets the timer to
continue full desensitization. If it detects no target UEs, it restores the micro cell to the partial
desensitization state.
During this process, target UEs refer to connected HSPA UEs without CS services carried
over DCHs.
Figure 3-1 shows the process of implementing Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-1 Process of implementing Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control
The implementation of this sub-feature involves three stages: triggering desensitization

intensity calculation, calculating desensitization intensity, and implementing desensitization.
NOTE
The cell scale is set by the CellScaleInd parameter. When setting up logical cell, NodeB reports the type
of cell scale to RNC in the AUDIT RESPONSE message or RESOURCE STATUS INDICATION
message through Iub.
3.2 Triggering Desensitization Intensity Calculation

Desensitization intensity calculation for the micro cell can be either event-triggered or
periodic.

WCDMA RAN
3.2.1 Event-triggered Desensitization Intensity Calculation

Desensitization intensity calculation for the micro cell can be triggered by the following
events:
l The state of COMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) for the micro cell
changes.
– Turning on the switch triggers partial desensitization in the micro cell, and the RNC
labels the micro cell as a cell in the partial desensitization state.
– Turning off the switch disables desensitization in the micro cell.
l The micro cell receives full desensitization instructions.
Once Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover fails for a target UE, the RNC
sends the micro cell a full desensitization instructions. After the micro cell receives the
instructions, the RNC triggers full desensitization in the micro cell and labels the micro
cell as a cell in the full desensitization state.
l Cell attribute changes.
The CellScaleInd parameter indicates whether the current cell is a micro or macro cell.
The value MICRO indicates a micro cell, and MACRO indicates a macro cell.
– Changing the value from MICRO to MACRO cancels desensitization in the micro
cell.
– If COMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) has been turned on,
changing the value from MACRO to MICRO triggers partial desensitization in the
micro cell and labels the micro cell as a cell in the partial desensitization state.
l Background noise updates.
If BGNSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) for the auto-adaptive background noise update
algorithm has been turned on for the micro cell, desensitization intensity calculation is
triggered immediately after the background noise is updated. For details about the auto-
adaptive background noise update algorithm, see Load Control Feature Parameter
Description.
If any of the preceding events occurs, the RNC calculates the desensitization intensity for the
micro cell. For details, see section 3.3 Calculating Desensitization Intensity.
3.2.2 Periodic Desensitization Intensity Calculation

The RNC periodically updates desensitization intensity and checks whether to restore partial
desensitization.
l Periodically updating desensitization intensity
After COMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is turned on, the RNC
updates desensitization intensity at an interval of 20s. For details about how to calculate
desensitization intensity, see section 3.3 Calculating Desensitization Intensity.
NOTE
The RNC periodically updates desensitization intensity to offset changes in macro cell background
noise, macro cell P-CPICH Tx power, and the neighboring cells of the micro cell.
l Periodically checking whether to restore partial desensitization
After full desensitization is triggered for the micro cell, the full desensitization disabling
timer TotalDesensCancelTimeLen(BSC6900,BSC6910) starts working. After the timer
expires, the RNC checks for target UEs in the problem areas. If the RNC detects target
UEs, it resets the timer to continue full desensitization. If the RNC has not detected any

WCDMA RAN
target UEs, it restores the micro cell to the partial desensitization state and calculates the
desensitization intensity. For details about how to calculate desensitization intensity, see
section 3.3 Calculating Desensitization Intensity. For details about how to identify
target UEs in the problem areas, see section 5.3 Identifying Target UEs in Macro-
Micro Problem Areas.
3.3 Calculating Desensitization Intensity

Figure 3-2 shows the procedure for calculating desensitization intensity.
Figure 3-2 Procedure for calculating desensitization intensity
The implementation procedure is detailed as follows:
1. The RNC calculates TotalDesense for the micro cell
TotalDesense indicates the desensitization intensity that makes the uplink SIR received in the
micro cell equal to that received in the micro cell when a UE is at the downlink boundary.
l TotalDesense for neighboring macro cell i is defined as follows:

(TotalDesense)i = PCPICHPowerMacro – PCPICHPowerMicro –
Macro2MicroUlDiff + BGNMacro – InterfBGNMicro
Where,
– i ranges from 0 to N, and N indicates the number of intra-frequency neighboring
macro cells configured for the micro cell.
– PCPICHPowerMacro indicates the TX power of the P-CPICH in a macro cell. This
indicator is measured in dBm by the PCPICHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter.

WCDMA RAN
– PCPICHPowerMicro indicates the TX power of the P-CPICH in a micro cell. This

indicator is measured in dBm by the PCPICHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter.
– BGNMacro, measured in dBm, indicates the background noise of the macro cell.
– Macro2MicroUlDiff indicates uplink receive capability difference between the
macro and micro cells. This indicator is measured in dB by the
Macro2MicroUlDiff(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
– InterfBGNMicro, measured in dBm, indicates the background noise of the micro
cell before desensitization is implemented.
NOTE
The value of (TotalDesense)i must not exceed 13 dB. Otherwise, the received total wide band power
(RTWP) of the micro cell will become excessively high.
l If the micro cell has N neighboring macro cells, TotalDesense of the micro cell is defined
as follows:
TotalDesense = Min{(TotalDesense)0, (TotalDesense)1, …, (TotalDesense)N}
2. The RNC calculates CurrentDesense for the micro cell

l If COMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) has been turned on:
– CurrentDesense equals TotalDesense if the micro cell is in the full desensitization
state.
– CurrentDesense is defined as follows if the micro cell is in the partial
desensitization state: CurrentDesense = Max{0, (TotalDesense –
Total2PartDesenseDiff)}
l If COMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is turned off or CellScaleInd is
set to FALSE, desensitization is disabled. In this case, CurrentDesense is 0.
3. The RNC calculates DesensPower before sending it to the NodeB
l DesensPower is –120 dBm if CurrentDesense is 0.
l DesensPower equals 10*lg({10(ReferenceRTWP/10) – 10(InterfBGNMicro/10)}) if
CurrentDesense is a value other than 0.
Where,
ReferenceRTWP, indicating the background noise of the micro cell, equals the sum of
InterfBGNMicro and CurrentDesense.
In this case, DesensPower ranges from –120 dBm to –77 dBm.
3.4 Implementing Desensitization

The micro cell desensitization process is described as follows:
1. The RNC sends the NodeB a Physical Shared Channel Reconfiguration Request
message.
After calculating ReferenceRTWP, MaximumRTWP, and DesensPower, the RNC
compares InterfBGNMicro or DesensPower with the previously calculated one. If the
difference is greater than or equal to BgnUpdateThd(BSC6900,BSC6910), the RNC
updates the background noise and desensitization intensity. In this case, the RNC sends
the NodeB a Physical Shared Channel Reconfiguration Request message carrying
ReferenceRTWP, MaximumRTWP, and DesensPower.

WCDMA RAN
In this message:
– ReferenceRTWP, indicating the background noise of the micro cell, equals the sum
of InterfBGNMicro and CurrentDesense.
– MaximumRTWP, indicating the maximum target RTWP of a cell, equals the sum of
ReferenceRTWP and TargetROT.
TargetROT is measured by the MaxTargetUlLoadFactor(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter. During HSUPA user-plane scheduling, power control on the NodeB side
keeps the uplink load below MaxTargetUlLoadFactor(BSC6900,BSC6910).
ReferenceRTWP and MaximumRTWP correspond to the information elements
(IEs) Reference Received Total Wide Band Power and Maximum Target Received
Total Wide Band Power, respectively. For details, see section 8.2.18 "Physical
Shared Channel Reconfiguration" in 3GPP TS 25.433 V9.3.0.
2. After receiving the Physical Shared Channel Reconfiguration Request message, the
NodeB determines whether to send the RF desensitization configurations.
If the message carries DesensPower, ReferenceRTWP, and MaximumRTWP, the NodeB
applies the updated desensitization intensity to the micro cell.
The NodeB calculates RF_DESENS (the RF desensitization value in dB measured an
accuracy of 0.1 dB) based on the received DesensPower as follows:
– Retain the current RF_DESENS on the NodeB if DesensPower is less than -120
dBm or greater than or equal to -77 dBm.
– Instruct the RF module to cancel desensitization (setting RF_DESENS to 0 dB) if
DesensPower is -120 dBm.
– Use the following formula to calculate RF_DESENS if it is between -120 dBm and
-77 dBm: RF_DESENS = 10 x lg(1 + 10(DesensPower-PN)/10)
Where,
PN indicates the theoretical background noise of the RF module and depends on
hardware components, ambient temperature, and operating frequency bands. This
section takes the typical value -106 dBm.
Figure 3-3 shows the signaling flow of desensitization.
Figure 3-3 Signaling flow of desensitization

WCDMA RAN
NOTE
l In the Physical Shared Channel Reconfiguration Request message, the DesensPower IE carries the
desensitization intensity.
l If the RNC receives a Physical Shared Channel Reconfiguration Failure message from the NodeB,
the RNC rolls back the values of ReferenceRTWP, MaximumRTWP, and DesensPower.
l While sending DesensPower to the NodeB, the RNC resets the counter for the auto-adaptive
background noise update algorithm if BGNSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) for the algorithm has been
turned on. In this way, the background noise is accurately measured.

Feature Parameter Description Redirection
4 WRFD-15020101 Macro & Micro Joint Inter-

frequency Redirection
When a target UE in a macro-micro problem area sends an RRC Connection Request message
for setting up a PS service, Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Redirection redirects the UE
to an inter-frequency macro cell that has no intra-frequency neighboring micro cells.
This sub-feature is controlled by DR_RRC_DRD_SWITCH under the
DrSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter and takes effect when both
DR_RRC_DRD_SWITCH and COMacroMicroIFRedirSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) are
turned on.
Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Redirection takes a lower precedence than inter-RAT
RRC redirection based on weak coverage, inter-RAT RRC redirection based on distance,
inter-frequency RRC redirection based on distance, and RRC redirection for service steering.
However, it takes a higher precedence than RRC DRD and RRC redirection after DRD
failure.
Figure 4-1 shows the process of implementing Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency
Redirection.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 4-1 Process of implementing Macro and Micro Joint Inter-frequency Redirection

1. After detecting an RRC Connection Request message sent by a UE to a macro cell, the
RNC checks the status of COMacroMicroIFRedirSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910).
– If COMacroMicroIFRedirSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is turned off, the RNC
processes the message in the macro cell.
– If COMacroMicroIFRedirSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is turned on, the RNC
proceeds to the next step.
2. The RNC checks the establishment cause IE in the RRC Connection Request message.
– If the IE indicates that the RRC connection is established for PS services, that is, the
value of the establishment cause is among the following, the RNC proceeds to the
next step to determine whether the UE is in a macro-micro problem area.

– If the IE does not indicate an RRC connection for PS services, the RNC processes
the message in the macro cell.
3. The RNC checks whether the UE is in a macro-micro problem area.
The RNC checks the intra-frequency neighboring micro cell measurement value carried
in the RRC Connection Request message to determine whether the UE is in a macro-
micro problem area.
– If a neighboring micro cell that meets the following conditions is available, the
RNC determines that the UE is in a problem area and proceeds to the next step.
– Otherwise, the RNC considers that the UE is not in a macro-micro problem area and
processes the RRC Connection Request message in the current cell.
The conditions are as follows:
- Event 1D condition is not met: (Mmacro + 1D hysteresismacro/2 + CIOmacro) >
(Mmicro + CIO offsetneighboring micro cell + CIOmicro)
- Event 1A' condition is met: (Mmicro + CIO offsetneighboring micro cell + CIOmicro) >=
(Mmacro – event 1A' thresholdmicro + 1A hysteresismacro/2)
- The event 1A' thresholdmicro is greater than 1 dB.
NOTE
where
- M is the intra-frequency cell quality measurement quantity Ec/N0 or RSCP carried in the
RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message.
- Event 1D hysteresis, CIO, and event 1A hysteresis are specified by parameters
HystFor1D(BSC6900,BSC6910), CIO(BSC6900,BSC6910), and
HystFor1A(BSC6900,BSC6910), respectively. For event 1D conditions, the CIO must be
considered when the HO_CIO_1D_USED check box under the
HoSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter in the SET UCORRMALGOSwitch is selected.
- CIO offsetneighboring micro cell is the CIO offset of a macro cell relative to a neighboring
micro cell. CIO offsetneighboring micro cell is specified by the CIOOffset(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter.
- If CoMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is turned on, event 1A'
thresholdmicro equals to Min (TotalDesense, Total2PartDesenseDiff(BSC6900,BSC6910)).
If CoMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is turned off, event 1A'
thresholdmicro equals to the total desensitization intensity.
4. The RNC obtains a list of neighboring cells of the macro cell for an inter-frequency blind
handover, and selects a cell as the target cell for redirection.
– If there are multiple cells that can serve as target cells for Macro & Micro Joint
Inter-frequency Redirection, the RNC selects the cell with the lightest load. The
RNC then sends the UE an RRC CONNECTION REJECT message, which carries
the target frequency.

WCDMA RAN
– If no target cell is available, the RNC processes the RRC Connection Request
message in the macro cell.
The target cell must:
– Be a candidate cell for an inter-frequency blind handover
– Be a macro cell
– Have no neighboring micro cells
– Not be in the load reshuffling (LDR) or overload control (OLC) state
– Support HSDPA or HSUPA
– IdleCellBarred(BSC6900,BSC6910) of the target is not set to BARRED if
RRCRedirConsiderBarSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON.
– Operate in a frequency band supported by the UE
You can select a cell that is under the same RNC and operates in the same frequency
band as the current cell.
If the current cell to which the RRC connection is established operates on a frequency
band other than U2100 MHz, the RNC can select a U2100 MHz cell when
PERFENH_REDIR_OTHER_FB_TO_U2100_SWITCH under the
PerfEnhanceSwitch6 parameter is turned on.
If the UE complies with 3GPP Release 10 or later and the value of the IE "Support of the
first Frequency Band" or "Support of the second Frequency Band" carried in the RRC
Connection Request message is TRUE, the RNC can select a cell operating on the
frequency band indicated by the IE.
NOTE
When SIB5_REDIR_FREQ_BAND_ABILITY_SWITCH check box under the

CellSysInfoEnhSwitch parameter is turned on, the RNC selects two frequency bands on which the
inter-frequency neighboring cells of the current cell operate and includes the two frequency bands
in SIB5. The selected frequency bands are a non-U2100 frequency band and a frequency band the
current cell does not work on. After receiving the SIB5 message carrying the redirection indicator,
UEs complying with 3GPP Release 10 or later check whether they support the redirection bands
and then include the results in the RRC connection setup request message sent to the RNC. For
details about the redirection band indicator, see 8.1.1.6.5 "System Information Block type 5 and
5bis" in 3GPP TS 25.331 V12.0.0.
5. The RNC takes measures to prevent ping-pong redirections, no matter whether the
redirection is successful or not.

Macro and Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover is controlled by
HO_COMACROMICRO_INTER_FREQ_OUT_SWITCH of the
HoSwitch1(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter and applies to target UEs. This sub-feature
enables the RNC to identify target UEs in macro-micro problem areas by checking the active
set and event 1A. This sub-feature also hands over such UEs to an inter-frequency macro cell
that has no intra-frequency neighboring micro cells, thereby reducing interference to the
micro cell caused by target UEs in the macro cell.
Figure 5-1 shows the process of implementing Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency
Handover.

1. After the RNC receives event 1A' or a handover, service change, or channel change is
complete for a target UE, the RNC determines whether the UE is in a macro-micro
problem area.
– If the UE is in a macro-micro problem area, the RNC proceeds to the next step.
– If the UE is not in a macro-micro problem area, the RNC performs services for the
UE in the macro cell.
For details about event 1A' measurement control, see 5.2 Event 1A' Measurement
Control. For details about how to identify target UEs in macro-micro problem
areas, see section 5.3 Identifying Target UEs in Macro-Micro Problem Areas.
2. The RNC checks whether
HO_COMACROMICRO_INTER_FREQ_OUT_SWITCH of the
HoSwitch1(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is turned on for the macro cell.
– If the switch is turned on, the RNC starts a 2s timer and proceeds to the next step
after the timer expires.
– If the switch is turned off, the RNC performs services for the UE in the macro cell
and proceeds to 6 to check whether to trigger full desensitization for the micro cell.
3. The RNC checks whether the target UE satisfies inter-frequency blind handover
conditions.
– If the UE satisfies the conditions, the RNC proceeds to the next step.
– If the UE does not satisfy the conditions, the RNC performs services for the UE in
the macro cell, and proceeds to 6 to check whether to trigger full desensitization for
the micro cell.
An inter-frequency blind handover must meet the following conditions:
– The target UE is in the 1A'-1A problem area or 1A-1D problem area.
– The target UE is not in compressed mode.
– The timer specified by the IFAntiPingpangTimerLength(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter for preventing non-coverage-based inter-frequency ping-pong handovers
has not started yet or has expired.
– According to the latest intra-frequency measurement report, the RSCP in the best
cell is higher than the value of BlindHOQualityCondition(BSC6900,BSC6910).
– The target UE experiences less than three failed inter-frequency blind handovers
during the RRC connection.
4. The RNC checks whether a target cell is available for a blind handover.
– If such a target cell is available, the RNC proceeds to the next step.
– If such a target cell is unavailable, the RNC performs services for the UE in the
macro cell, and proceeds to 6 to check whether to trigger full desensitization for the
micro cell.
The target cell must:
– Be a neighboring cell for an inter-frequency blind handover
– Be a macro cell
– Have no neighboring micro cells
– Operate in a frequency band supported by the UE
– Not be in the LDR or OLC state
– Support HSDPA or HSUPA
If there are multiple cells that can serve as target cells, the RNC selects the cell with the
lightest load.

WCDMA RAN
5. The RNC performs a blind handover for the UE and checks whether it is successful.
– If the blind handover is successful, the implementation procedure is complete. In
the meantime, the RNC starts the timer for preventing non-coverage-based inter-
frequency ping-pong handovers. The timer interval is specified by the
IFAntiPingpangTimerLength(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
– If the blind handover fails, the RNC performs services for the UE in the macro cell
and proceeds to the next step.
6. The RNC checks whether COMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is turned
on for the neighboring micro cell.
l If the switch is turned on, the RNC sends the neighboring micro cell a full
desensitization instruction. After receiving the instruction, the micro cell starts full
desensitization.
l If the switch is turned off, the implementation procedure is complete.
5.2 Event 1A' Measurement Control

Event 1A' identifies the uplink boundary between the macro and micro cells. When any target
UE enters the 1A'-1A problem area shown in Figure 5-1, the UE reports a 1A' measurement
report.
After a handover, service change, or channel change is complete, the RNC determines
whether to trigger event 1A' measurement control. The criteria for triggering event 1A'
measurement control are as follows:
l MacroMicro1APreMeasSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) has been turned on.
l The best cell for the UE is the macro cell.
l The UE is a target UE.
l One of the neighboring micro cells of the best cell has an event 1A' threshold higher than
IntraRelThdFor1APS(BSC6900,BSC6910).
l Either HO_COMACROMICRO_INTER_FREQ_OUT_SWITCH of the
HoSwitch1(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter or
COMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is turned on.
If the preceding criteria are met, the RNC instructs the UE to start event a 1A' measurement.
An event 1A' measurement report includes the following parameters:
l ReportIntervalfor1APre: specifies the interval for event-to-periodic report of event 1A'.
l Event 1A' threshold, which is defined as follows:
Event 1A' thresholdMeas = Max{Event 1A' threshold of micro cell 1, Event 1A' threshold
of micro cell 2, … Event 1A' threshold of micro cell N}
Where,
N indicates the total number of neighboring micro cells of the best cell.
– For the micro cell, if COMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is turned
on, the event 1A' threshold equals the smaller of TotalDesense and
Total2PartDesenseDiff(BSC6900,BSC6910).
– The event 1A' threshold equals TotalDesense if
COMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is turned off. For details
about how to calculate TotalDesense for a micro cell, see section 3.3 Calculating

WCDMA RAN
NOTE
Other parameters in an event 1A' measurement report, such as FilterCoef(BSC6900,BSC6910),

HystFor1A(BSC6900,BSC6910), TrigTime1A(BSC6900,BSC6910), Weight(BSC6900,BSC6910), and
IntraFreqMeasQuantity(BSC6900,BSC6910), are the same as those in an event 1A measurement
report. For details, see section "Intra-Frequency Handover Measurement" in Handover Feature
Events 1A' and 1A comply with the same protocols. ReportingCellStatus and its value range (0 dB to
14.5 dB) in an event 1A' are the same as those in an event 1A. The IE value of event 1A' threshold is
double that of event 1A' thresholdMeas.
5.3 Identifying Target UEs in Macro-Micro Problem Areas

This section describes how to identify target UEs in the following problem areas:
l 1A'-1A problem area

l 1A-1D problem area
As shown in Figure 3-1, UEs in the 1A'-1A problem area are identified based on event 1A'
measurement reports. However, UEs in the 1A-1D problem area are identified based on
whether the micro cell is in the active after a handover, channel change, or service change is
complete.
5.3.1 Identifying Target UEs in the 1A'-1A Problem Area

After receiving an event 1A' measurement report from a UE, the RNC considers that the UE
is in the 1A'-1A problem area if the UE is a target UE, the macro cell is the best cell and
controlled by the SRNC, and the signal quality reported for the neighboring micro cell meets
the following conditions:
l The micro cell has an event 1A' threshold higher than

IntraRelThdFor1APS(BSC6900,BSC6910), indicating that the UE is not in the 1A-1D
problem area.
l (MMicro + CIO offsetMicro + CIOMicro) ≥ (MMacro – Event 1A' thresholdMicro + Event 1A
hysteresis/2), indicating that event 1A' reported by the UE is generated for the
neighboring micro cell.
Where,
– M indicates intra-frequency cell quality measurement result (Ec/N0 or RSCP)
carried in the event 1A' measurement report.
– Event 1A' thresholdMicro is defined as follows:
1. If the switch specified by COMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is turned
on, the threshold equals the smaller of TotalDesense and
Total2PartDesenseDiff(BSC6900,BSC6910).
2. If the switch specified by COMacroMicroDesenseSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is turned
off, the threshold equals TotalDesense. For details about how to calculate TotalDesense,
see section 3.3 Calculating Desensitization Intensity
If the RNC determines that the UE is a target UE in the 1A'-1A problem area, the RNC
labels the 1A'-1A problem area as a 1A'-1A problem area with target UEs and starts a
timer with an interval twice that of ReportIntervalfor1APre(BSC6900,BSC6910). If the
RNC receives another valid event 1A' measurement report before the timer expires, the
RNC resets the timer.

WCDMA RAN
If the RNC does not receive a valid event 1A' measurement report before the timer
expires, the RNC considers that the target UE has moved out of the 1A'-1A problem area
and labels the area as a 1A'-1A problem area without target UEs. When the RNC is
implementing Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control, the RNC performs follow-up
procedures according to whether there is a target UE in the 1A'-1A problem area. If there
is no target UE in the 1A'-1A problem area, the RNC cancels full desensitization. If there
is any target UE in the 1A'-1A problem area, the RNC continues full desensitization.
5.3.2 Identifying Target UEs in the 1A-1D Problem Area

A UE is considered to be in the 1A-1D problem area if both the following conditions are met:
l The macro cell is the best cell and is controlled by the SRNC.
l The micro cell is in the active set of the UE, and the event 1A' threshold of the micro cell
is greater than 1 dB.
NOTE
If there are multiple micro cells with requirements fulfilled in the active set, the RNC considers that the
target UE is in multiple 1A-1D problem areas at the same time. When this occurs, failure of Macro &
Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover triggers full desensitization in all these areas.
Event 1A' threshold indicates uplink signal quality difference between the macro and micro cells. A
difference of less than 1 dB does not affect services and therefore requires no extra actions for target
UEs in the macro-micro problem areas.

WCDMA RAN
Feature Parameter Description 6 Application Scenarios of the features
6 Application Scenarios of the features
6.1 Some Cells Operating at the Same Frequency Band

As shown in Figure 6-1, when only some cells operate at the same frequency band, at least
one macro cell is not configured with intra-frequency neighboring micro cells. For example,
in a macro cell operating at multiple frequencies, at least two frequencies are configured for
the same NodeB and serve two co-coverage cells. The two cells are mutually neighboring
cells for blind handovers, but only one of them has an intra-frequency neighboring micro cell.
The NodeB is configured with two frequencies for macro cells: F1 and F2. F1 is configured
for macro and micro cells operating at the same frequency band, whereas F2 is configured for
macro cells only. In this scenario, the total system capacity equals the F1 cell capacity plus the
F2 cell capacity.
Figure 6-1 Some cells operating at the same frequency band
In this scenario, using the three sub-features of WRFD-150201 Macro & Micro Co-carrier
Uplink Interference Control together is recommended.
6.2 All Cells Operating at the Same Frequency Band

In this scenario, all macro cells have neighboring micro cells operating at the same frequency
band, as shown in Figure 6-2. For example, a single-carrier macro cell has an intra-frequency
neighboring micro cell.

WCDMA RAN
Feature Parameter Description 6 Application Scenarios of the features
Figure 6-2 All cells operating at the same frequency band
In this scenario, the total system capacity equals the F1 cell capacity plus the F2 cell capacity.
However, if the macro cell uses multiple carriers on macro-micro co-carrier networks, sub-
features Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Redirection and Macro & Micro Joint Inter-
frequency Handover cannot be enabled in the following scenarios:
l The macro cell has no inter-frequency neighboring macro cells.
l The macro cell is not configured with inter-frequency neighboring macro cells.
Therefore, only the Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control sub-feature can be separately
used in these two scenarios. When this sub-feature is enabled, all micro cells are desensitized
if the RNC detects UEs in macro-micro problem areas. Compared with the combined use of
all the three sub-features, this sub-feature alone provides similar system capacity, network
performance, and handover success rate. However, the chance of global desensitization for
micro cells will increases because detected UEs are not transferred out of the problem area.

System Capacity
Scenario: On networks where macro and micro cells operate at the same frequency band, the
maximum transmit power of the macro cell is 20 W and that of the micro cell is 5 W, and the
difference in the downlink P-CPICH pilot power between the macro cell and micro cell is 6
dB. The micro cell is initially activated and the Macro & Micro Co-carrier Uplink
Interference Control feature is enabled when all intra-frequency cells on the macro-micro
network are updated to RAN15.0 or later.
In this scenario, this feature adds benefits to those of the micro cell deployment. Compared
with the macro dual-carrier networking mode, this feature has the following impacts on the
system capacity:
l Positive impacts
– Increases the overall system capacity when micro cells are deployed. The capacity
increment cannot be quantified because it depends on the number of micro cells, the
location of the micro cell, and the traffic absorption volume.
– Eliminates the difference between the uplink boundary and the downlink boundary
for the macro and micro cells to enable micro cell deployment through micro cell
desensitization:
n Micro cell desensitization mitigates interferences to the micro cell caused by
worst users, and enhances the stability and uplink capacity in the micro cell.
n Micro cell desensitization minimizes the chance of HSPA throughput drops in
the micro cell caused by micro cell–initiated power control in problem areas.
l Negative impacts
Extends the soft handover–applied zone and increases the number of soft handover
attempts on macro-micro co-carrier networks.

WCDMA RAN
NOTE
In this scenario, the benefits of this feature blend with those of the micro cell deployment and therefore
cannot be evaluated separately. Therefore, the system capacity should be evaluated by comparing with
the macro dual-carrier networking mode when all the three sub-features are enabled at one time in
scenarios where some cells operate at the same frequency band. Each sub-feature in this scenario will
not be evaluated separately.
Network Performance
Scenario: On networks where macro and micro cells operate at the same frequency band, the
maximum transmit power of the macro cell is 20 W and that of the micro cell is 5 W, and the

Interference Control feature is enabled when all intra-frequency cells on the macro-micro

In this scenario, this feature adds benefits to those of the micro cell deployment. Compared
with the macro dual-carrier networking mode, this feature has the following impacts on the
system capacity:
l Positive impacts
When the micro cell is used to strengthen the network coverage, it brings the following
benefits:
– Decreases the service drop rate.
– Increases the access success rate.
When the micro cell is used to absorb hot spot traffic, it has the following impacts:
Decreases the service load in the macro cell with no or little increase in overall KPIs.
l Negative impacts
– Extends the soft handover–applied zone and increases the number of soft handover
attempts on macro-micro co-carrier networks.
– Decreases the inter-frequency handover success rate in scenarios where some cells
operate at the same frequency band. The blind handover triggered by Macro &
Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover reduces the hard handover success rate
between inter-frequency cells.
NOTE
The KPI values depend on live network factors and cannot be quantified.

5. Before using sub-features Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Redirection and Macro
& Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover, check the information for all macro cells with
intra-frequency neighboring micro cells. The two sub-features can be enabled only when
there are macro cells with inter-frequency co-coverage neighboring HSDPA or HSUPA
macro cells to which blind handovers can be performed.

recommended for all the
micro cells with power values
varying according to base
station models.
For a micro cell with a
maximum transmit power of 5
W, the offset should not be
lower than 3 dB.
However, for a micro cell with
a maximum transmit power of
1 W, the difference in the
downlink pilot power between
the macro cell and micro cell
reaches 13 dB.
As a result, the downlink pilot
power received in the micro
cell is poor when a UE is at
the uplink boundary, causing
the UE to fail to detect a
micro cell through event 1A'.
To solve this problem, it is
recommended that the micro
cell be partially desensitized
by 7 dB and then dynamically
desensitized by 6 dB.
Therefore, for a micro cell
with a maximum transmit
power of 1 W, the offset

When all the three sub-features are enabled at one time in the scenario described in section
9.1.1 When to Use Macro & Micro Co-carrier Uplink Interference Control, the status of
the sub-features can be observed as follows:
If neither VS.TotalDesense.Time(BSC6900,BSC6910) nor
VS.TotalDesense.Num(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to 0, the Micro Cell Dynamic Rx
Sensitivity Control feature has been enabled.
If VS.RRC.Rej.Redir.CoMacroMicro(BSC6900,BSC6910) is not set to 0, the Macro &
Micro Joint Inter-frequency Redirection feature has been enabled.
If neither VS.HHO.AttInterFreqOut.PS.CoMacroMicro(BSC6900,BSC6910) nor
VS.HHO.SuccInterFreqOut.PS.CoMacroMicro(BSC6900,BSC6910) is not set to 0, the
Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover feature has been enabled.

WCDMA RAN

9.1.4 Performance Monitoring

1. When all the three sub-features are enabled at one time and intra-frequency micro cells
are deployed, this feature imposes the following impacts on the system capacity
compared with the macro dual-carrier networking mode
Observe how the following HSUPA and HSDPA counters vary before and after the
micro cell deployment:
– Total HSUPA traffic of intra-RAT cells
– Average HSUPA throughput of intra-RAT users
– Average HSUPA throughput of the cell
– Average throughput of HSUPA users in the cell
– Total HSDPA traffic of intra-RAT cells
– Average HSDPA throughput of intra-RAT users
– Average HSDPA throughput of the cell
The measurement results show that the preceding counter values rise after the micro cell
deployment and all the three sub-features are enabled. Specifically,
Total HSUPA traffic of intra-RAT cells (kbit) = HSUPA traffic of all intra-RAT macro
cells + HSUPA traffic of all intra-RAT micro cells
Where,
– HSUPA throughput can be observed by the HSUPA throughput in the cell through
measuring VS.HSUPA.Thruput.ROTAll on the NodeB, or by the number of bytes
received in the HSUPA MAC-d flow through measuring
VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput.TotalBytes(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC.

WCDMA RAN
– Average HSUPA throughput of intra-RAT users (kbit/s) = Total HSUPA TRB traffic
of all the intra-RAT macro and micro cells/Total data transmission time of all users
in the intra-RAT macro and micro cells
Where,
HSUPA Mac-d TRB traffic can be measured by VS.HSUPA.Traffic.TRB on the
NodeB.
Data transmission time of users within the cell (s) = (VS.HSUPA.
2msPDU.TTI.Num x 2 + VS.HSUPA.10msPDU.TTI.Num x 10)/1000
– Average HSUPA throughput (kbit/s) within the data transmission time can be
measured by using NodeB counters through the following formula:
VS.HSUPA.Thruput.ROTAll/(VS.HSUPA.DataTtiNum x 0.002) (kbit/s)
– The average throughput of HSUPA users in the cell can be measured by
VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC.
– Total HSDPA traffic of intra-RAT cells = HSDPA traffic of all intra-RAT macro
cells + HSDPA traffic of all intra-RAT micro cells
Where,
HSUPA traffic can be observed by the HSDSCH TRB traffic in the cell through
measuring VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.TRB on the NodeB, or by the number of bytes
received in the HSDPA MAC-d flow through measuring
VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput.TotalBytes(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC.
– Average HSDPA throughput of intra-RAT users (kbit/s) = Total HSUPA TRB traffic
of macro and micro cells/Total data transmission time of all users in the intra-RAT
macro and micro cells
Where,
HSDSCH TRB traffic can be measured by (VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.TRB/1000 on
the NodeB.
Data transmission time of users within the cell (s) =
(VS.HSDPA.All.ScheduledNum x 2)/1000
– Average HSDPA throughput (kbit/s) = VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.TRB /
(VS.HSDPA.DataTtiNum.TRB - VS.HSDPA.InactiveDataTtiNum.TRB) x 2
– Average throughput of HSDPA users in the cell can be observed by the average
HSDPA throughput in a single uplink MAC-d flow through measuring
VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC.
2. After the feature is enabled, the access success rate increases and service drop rate
decreases in the macro cell, and the overall service drop rate also decreases. The changes
can be observed through KPIs in terms of CS RAB Setup Success Ratio, PS RAB Setup
Success Ratio, AMR RAB Setup Success Ratio, CS Service Drop Ratio, PS Call Drop
Ratio, AMR Traffic Drop Ratio, HSDPA Call Drop Ratio, and HSUPA Call Drop Ratio.
If the service drop rate increases, see section 9.1.5 Parameter Optimization.
3. Total desensitization time of the micro cell can be measured by
VS.TotalDesense.Time(BSC6900,BSC6910). If the desensitization time is too long, the
micro cell will cause considerable interference to the macro cell. To tackle this issue, see
section 9.1.5 Parameter Optimization.
4. Observe the uplink load changes of the micro cell. Parameters need to be optimized if
VS.MeanRTWP is greater than UlLdrTrigThd, or the duration of LDR congestion
triggered by insufficient uplink power resource does not decrease noticeably. For details,
see section 9.1.5 Parameter Optimization. The changes can be observed through the
following counters:

WCDMA RAN
– Average RTWP load in the micro cell can be measured by

VS.MeanRTWP(BSC6900,BSC6910).
– Duration of the cell staying in the LDR status caused by uplink power congestion
can be measured by VS.LCC.LDR.Time.ULPower(BSC6900,BSC6910).
5. Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover effectiveness can be checked by
VS.HHO.AttInterFreqOut.PS.CoMacroMicro(BSC6900,BSC6910). If number of
users detected in problem areas is small, this sub-feature takes effect for few times,
causing a small value of the
VS.HHO.AttInterFreqOut.PS.CoMacroMicro(BSC6900,BSC6910) counter.
6. Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Redirection effectiveness can be checked through
VS.RRC.Rej.Redir.CoMacroMicro(BSC6900,BSC6910). A small value of the
VS.RRC.Rej.Redir.CoMacroMicro(BSC6900,BSC6910) counter will occur in the
following situation:
The Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Redirection sub-feature depends on the signal
quality of the neighboring micro cell carried in the RRC connection request sent from the
UE, that is, the CPICH Ec/N0 or CPICH Ec/N0 carried in the IE Measurement Results
for Monitored Cells on Used Frequency. If the signal quality is not reported, this sub-
feature cannot be enabled. This situation can be checked by capturing the RRC
connection request sent from the UE. If it is the UE that does not report the signal quality
of the neighboring RACH cell, this parameter does not need to be optimized.
9.1.5 Parameter Optimization

Parameters can be optimized in the following scenarios after the Macro & Micro Co-carrier
Uplink Interference Control feature is enabled.
1. If the ratio of VS.TotalDesense.Time(BSC6900,BSC6910) to the measurement period is
greater than 60%, reduce the value of TotalDesensCancelTimeLen(BSC6900,BSC6910)
to lessen the total desensitization chances, thereby reducing the interference with the
macro cell. You are advised to reconfigure the
TotalDesensCancelTimeLen(BSC6900,BSC6910) to 2s.
2. When the Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control sub-feature is enabled, if the value
returned by the VS.MeanRTWP(BSC6900,BSC6910) counter is greater than or equal to
the value of the UlLdrTrigThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter and the service load in
the cell is low, reconfigure Macro2MicroUlDiff(BSC6900,BSC6910) to a smaller value.
In this way, the interference caused by the macro neighboring cell can be resisted by
increasing the background noise through a partial desensitization in the micro cell.
Compare the cell load capacity with the values of
VS.AMR.Erlang.BestCell(BSC6900,BSC6910),
VS.HSUPA.MeanRSEPS(BSC6900,BSC6910),
VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput.TotalBytes(BSC6900,BSC6910), and
VS.PS.BE.DCH.UL.SumThroughput(BSC6900,BSC6910), and check whether the
service load is low.
3. After the Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Handover sub-feature is enabled, if the
service drop rate increases, check whether the value of
VS.HHO.SuccInterFreqOut.PS.CoMacroMicro(BSC6900,BSC6910)/
VS.HHO.AttInterFreqOut.PS.CoMacroMicro(BSC6900,BSC6910) is low. If it is,
enhance BlindHOQualityCondition(BSC6900,BSC6910).

Offset offset is recommended for all

For a micro cell with a
W, the offset should not be
lower than 3 dB.
However, for a micro cell with a
W, the difference in the
downlink pilot power between
the macro cell and micro cell
reaches 13 dB.
As a result, the downlink pilot
power received in the micro cell
is poor when a UE is at the
uplink boundary, causing the UE
to fail to detect a micro cell
through event 1A'. To solve this
problem, it is recommended that
the micro cell be partially

9.2.4 Performance Monitoring

1. When the Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control sub-feature is enabled and intra-
frequency micro cells are deployed, this feature imposes the following impacts on the
system capacity compared with the macro single-carrier networking mode
Observe how the following HSUPA and HSDPA counters vary before and after the
micro cell deployment:
– Total HSUPA traffic of intra-RAT cells
– Average HSUPA throughput of intra-RAT users
– Average HSUPA throughput of the cell
– Average throughput of HSUPA users in the cell
– Total HSDPA traffic of intra-RAT cells
– Average HSDPA throughput of intra-RAT users
– Average HSDPA throughput of the cell
– Average throughput of HSDPA users in the cell
The measurement results show that the preceding counter values rise after the micro cell
deployment and Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control is enabled. Specifically,
– Total HSUPA traffic of intra-RAT cells = HSUPA traffic of all intra-RAT macro
cells + HSUPA traffic of all intra-RAT micro cells
HSUPA throughput can be observed by the HSUPA throughput in the cell through
measuring VS.HSUPA.Thruput.ROTAll on the NodeB, or by the number of bytes
received in the HSUPA MAC-d flow through measuring
VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput.TotalBytes(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC.
– Average HSUPA throughput of intra-RAT users (kbit/s) = Total HSUPA TRB traffic
of all the intra-RAT macro and micro cells/Total data transmission time of all users
in the intra-RAT macro and micro cells
Where,
HSUPA Mac-d TRB traffic can be measured by VS.HSUPA.Traffic.TRB on the
NodeB.
Data transmission time of users within the cell (s) = (VS.HSUPA.
2msPDU.TTI.Num x 2 + VS.HSUPA.10msPDU.TTI.Num x 10)/1000

WCDMA RAN
– Average HSUPA throughput (kbit/s) within the data transmission time can be
measured by VS.HSUPA.Thruput.ROTAll/(VS.HSUPA.DataTtiNum x 0.002)
(kbit/s) on the NodeB.
– The average throughput of HSUPA users in the cell can be measured by
VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC.
– Total HSDPA traffic of intra-RAT cells = HSDPA traffic of all intra-RAT macro
cells + HSDPA traffic of all intra-RAT micro cells
Where,
HSDPA traffic can be observed by the HSDSCH TRB traffic in the cell through
measuring VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.TRB on the NodeB, or by the number of bytes
received in the HSDPA MAC-d flow through measuring
VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput.TotalBytes(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC.
– Average HSDPA throughput of intra-RAT users (kbit/s) = Total HSDPA TRB traffic
of macro and micro cells/Total data transmission time of all users in the intra-RAT
macro and micro cells
Where,
HSDSCH TRB traffic can be measured by VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.TRB/1000 on
the NodeB.
Data transmission time of users within the cell (s) =
(VS.HSDPA.All.ScheduledNum x 2)/1000
– Average HSDPA throughput (kbit/s) = VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.TRB /
(VS.HSDPA.DataTtiNum.TRB - VS.HSDPA.InactiveDataTtiNum.TRB) x 2
– Average throughput of HSDPA users in the cell can be observed by the average
HSDPA throughput in a single uplink MAC-d flow through measuring
VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC.
2. After the feature is enabled, the access success rate increases and service drop rate
decreases in the macro cell, and the overall service drop rate also decreases. The changes
can be observed through KPIs in terms of CS RAB Setup Success Ratio, PS RAB Setup
Success Ratio, AMR RAB Setup Success Ratio, CS Service Drop Ratio, PS Call Drop
Ratio, AMR Traffic Drop Ratio, HSDPA Call Drop Ratio, and HSUPA Call Drop Ratio.
3. Total desensitization time of the micro cell can be measured by
VS.TotalDesense.Time(BSC6900,BSC6910). If the desensitization time is too long, the
micro cell will cause considerable interference to the macro cell. To tackle this issue, see
section 9.2.5 Parameter Optimization.
4. Observe the uplink load changes of the micro cell. Parameters need to be optimized if
VS.MeanRTWP is greater than UlLdrTrigThd(BSC6900,BSC6910), or the duration of
LDR congestion triggered by insufficient uplink power resource does not decrease
noticeably. For details, see section 9.2.5 Parameter Optimization. The changes can be
observed through the following counters:
– Average RTWP load in the micro cell can be measured by
VS.MeanRTWP(BSC6900,BSC6910).
– Duration of the cell staying in the LDR status caused by uplink power congestion
can be measured by VS.LCC.LDR.Time.ULPower(BSC6900,BSC6910).
9.2.5 Parameter Optimization

Parameters can be optimized in the following scenarios after the Macro & Micro Co-carrier
Uplink Interference Control feature is enabled.

WCDMA RAN
1. If the ratio of VS.TotalDesense.Time(BSC6900,BSC6910) to the measurement period is

greater than 60%, reduce the value of TotalDesensCancelTimeLen(BSC6900,BSC6910)
to lessen the total desensitization chances, thereby reducing the interference with the
macro cell. You are advised to reconfigure
TotalDesensCancelTimeLen(BSC6900,BSC6910) to 2s.
2. When the Micro Cell Dynamic Rx Sensitivity Control sub-feature is enabled, if the value
returned by the VS.MeanRTWP(BSC6900,BSC6910) counter is greater than or equal to
the value of the UlLdrTrigThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter and the service load in
the cell is low, reconfigure Macro2MicroUlDiff(BSC6900,BSC6910) to a smaller value.
In this way, the interference caused by the macro neighboring cell can be resisted by
increasing the background noise through a partial desensitization in the micro cell.
Compare the cell load capacity with the values of
VS.AMR.Erlang.BestCell(BSC6900,BSC6910),
VS.HSUPA.MeanRSEPS(BSC6900,BSC6910),
VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput.TotalBytes(BSC6900,BSC6910), and
VS.PS.BE.DCH.UL.SumThroughput(BSC6900,BSC6910), and check whether the
service load is low.

WITCH: Whether the SRNC filters neighboring GSM
cells of DRNC cells in the active set based on UE's
HPLMN. When this switch is set to on, the SRNC
compares the proprietary IE "PLMN Identity" of a
neighboring GSM cell in the Radio Link Setup
Response or Radio Link Addition Response message
with the HPLMN of the UE. If they are the same, the
SRNC initiates an inter-RAT handover to the
neighboring GSM cell. If not, the inter-RAT handover

SRNC does not perform the preceding filtering.
25.

When this switch is set to off, the RNC sends the 1C

26. HO_U2L_CONN_PRIO_SWITCH: Whether the
RNC considers connected-mode E-UTRA frequency
priorities specified by [UCELLNFREQPRIOIN-
FO:NPriorityConnect] during UMTS-to-LTE
handovers and redirections. When this switch is
turned on, the RNC performs measurement control
and target frequency selection based on the configured
connected-mode E-UTRA frequency priorities during
non-coverage-based UMTS-to-LTE handovers or
redirections, measurement-based CSFBs or SRVCC
fast returns, and blind CSFB fast returns. When this
switch is turned off, the RNC does not consider
connected-mode E-UTRA frequency priorities in the
preceding scenarios. In addition, this switch controls
whether the RNC performs target frequency selection
preferentially based on the frequency priorities
(including priorities of SPIDs, IMSIs, and connected-
mode E-UTRA frequencies) after receiving an event
3C measurement report from LTE during non-
coverage-based UMTS-to-LTE handovers or
redirections and measurement-based CSFBs or
SRVCC fast returns. When this switch is turned on,
the RNC selects a target frequency in descending
order of priorities. When this switch is turned off, the
RNC selects a target frequency in descending order of

sends the operator group information of neighboring
GSM cells to the SRNC through standard IEs carried

29.HO_CSFB_BASED_MEAS_FAST_RETURN_S
WITCH: Whether the RNC triggers the measurement-

their voice services are released on the UMTS
network. When this switch is turned on and the UE
supports LTE measurement, the UE triggers an LTE
measurement after its voice service is complete. After
the RNC receives the measurement report, the RNC
decides whether to trigger a U2L fast return based on
the measurement result. When this switch is turned
off, the RNC can perform only a blind fast return for
the UE.
30.HO_CSFB_BASED_RSCP_FAST_RETURN_SW
ITCH: Whether the RNC triggers the UMTS-to-LTE
fast return for CSFB UEs based on the RSCP of the
best cell after their voice services are released on the
UMTS network. When this switch is turned on, the
RNC sends a periodic intra-frequency measurement
control message to the UE, instructing the UE to
measure the RSCP of the best cell. If the RSCP of the
best cell reported by the UE is equal to or greater than
the value of U2LNCovRscpThd, the RNC will trigger
a blind fast return. Otherwise, the RNC will not
trigger the blind fast return. When this switch is
turned off, the RNC does not send the UE the periodic
intra-frequency measurement control message
instructing the UE to measure the RSCP of the best
cell.

UE is released. SRVCC is short for single radio voice
call continuity and CS FB is short for CS
fallback.When this switch is set to on, the SRVCC or
CSFB UE can trigger a UMTS-to-LTE handover if the
UE detects the signal of an LTE cell and supports
UMTS-to-LTE handover when the
ITCH is set to off. When this switch is set to off, a
UMTS-to-LTE redirection is triggered in the
preceding conditions.

er proper value to ensure smooth SHOs. The value of
this parameter determines the SHO area and SHO
ratio. In the CDMA system, the ratio of the UE
involved in soft handover should reach 30% to 40% to
ensure smooth handover. Based on simulation results,
when the relative threshold is set to 5 dB, the ratio of
the UE involved in soft handover (the number of cells

advised to set the relative threshold to a value (5 dB to
7 dB) larger than the default value during site
deployment, and to reduce the threshold when the

to avoid the ping-pong handover.
You can set different relative thresholds for event 1A

change the soft handover ratio. In general
applications, the relative thresholds for events 1A and

For intra-frequency handovers, CPICH Ec/No or
UCELLI Intra RSCP is used as the measurement quantity. For events
NTRAF RNC 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D which adopt relative thresholds,
REQHO Soft the measurement quantity does not have great impact
Handov on the threshold values. For event 1F which adopts
er absolute threshold, the measurement quantity should
be set based on actual cell conditions. If the cell is
located in the center of the coverage area, the main
factor that affects signal quality is intra-frequency
interference. In this case, you are advised to set this
parameter to CPICH_EC/NO. If the cell is located at
the edge of the coverage area, the main factor that
affects signal quality is the distance between the cell
and the base station. In this case, you are advised to
set this parameter to CPICH_RSCP.
