Parameters
ID Name Description
InterFreqMlbThd Inter- Meaning: Indicates the threshold of the PRB usage for
Frequency triggering inter-frequency MLB. If the MlbTriggerMode
Mobility parameter is set to PRB_ONLY(PrbMode) or
Load PRB_OR_UE_NUMBER(PrbOrUeNumMode), inter-
Balancing frequency MLB is triggered when the number of
Threshold synchronized UEs in the cell is greater than or equal to the
sum of the MlbMinUeNumThd and MlbMinUeNumOffset
parameter values and the PRB usage of the cell is greater
than or equal to the sum of the InterFreqMlbThd and
LoadOffset parameter values. MLB stops when the PRB
usage of the cell or the number of synchronized UEs falls
below the InterFreqMlbThd parameter value or the
MlbMinUeNumThd parameter value, respectively. For LTE
TDD, the InterFreqMlbThd parameter indicates the
threshold of the downlink PRB usage for triggering inter-
frequency MLB.

Parameter Relationship:
-Configuration constraints:
In the CellMLB MO, the sum of InterFreqMlbThd and
LoadOffset must be smaller than or equal to 100.
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: A larger value of
this parameter results in a lower probability of triggering
MLB and higher gains to system throughput after UEs are
transferred. However, a larger value leads to a longer period
during which the throughput is affected because of resource
insufficiency before the UEs are transferred. If this
parameter is set too small, the MLB algorithm takes effect
frequently, which leads to more signaling interaction and
handovers. This increases the CPU load and brings little
gains to the system throughput.
Applicable Mode: L
InterRatMlbThd Inter-RAT Meaning: Indicates the threshold of the PRB usage for
Mobility triggering inter-RAT load sharing. Inter-RAT load sharing is
Load triggered if the number of synchronized UEs in the cell is
Balancing greater than or equal to the sum of the
Threshold InterRatMlbUeNumThd and InterRatMlbUeNumOffset
parameter values and the PRB usage of the cell is greater
than or equal to the InterRatMlbThd and LoadOffset
parameter values. Inter-RAT load sharing stops if the
number of synchronized UEs in the cell is less than the
InterRatMlbUeNumThd parameter value or the PRB usage
of the cell is less than the InterRatMlbThd parameter value.

MLB and higher gains to system throughput after UEs are
transferred. However, a larger value leads to a longer period
during which the throughput is affected because of resource
insufficiency before the UEs are transferred. If this

Applicable Mode: L
LoadOffset Load Meaning: Indicates the offset of the PRB usage for
Offset triggering inter-frequency load balancing. Inter-frequency
load balancing is triggered if the number of synchronized
UEs in the cell is greater than or equal to the sum of the
MlbMinUeNumThd and MlbMinUeNumOffset parameter
values and the PRB usage of the cell is greater than or
equal to the sum the InterFreqMlbThd and LoadOffset
parameter values. Inter-frequency load balancing is
triggered if the number of synchronized UEs in the cell is
greater than or equal to the sum of the MlbMinUeNumThd
and MlbMinUeNumOffset parameter values and the PRB
valuation in the cell is greater than or equal to the sum of
the PrbValMlbTrigThd and LoadOffset parameter values.

Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: A large value of this
parameter may cause difficulties in timely triggering the load
balancing when the cell load is unbalanced, or cause
difficulties in timely stopping the load balancing when the
cell load is balanced. A small value of this parameter,
however, may result in the frequent triggering or stopping of
the load balancing algorithm.
Applicable Mode: L
InterRatMlbUeNumThd Inter-RAT Meaning: Indicates the threshold for the number of uplink
Mobility synchronized UEs in the cell used to trigger PRB-usage-
Load based inter-RAT load sharing. PRB-usage-based inter-RAT
Balancing load sharing is triggered when the PRB usage of the cell is
UE greater than or equal to the sum of the InterRatMlbThd and
Number LoadOffset parameter values and the number of uplink
Threshold synchronized UEs in the cell is greater than or equal to the
sum of the InterRatMlbUeNumThd and
InterRatMlbUeNumOffset parameter values. PRB-usage-
based inter-RAT load sharing stops if the number of uplink
synchronized UEs in the cell is less than the
InterRatMlbUeNumThd parameter value or the PRB usage
of the cell is less than the InterRatMlbThd parameter value.
The actual threshold for the number of uplink synchronized
UEs equals the percentage value of this parameter
multiplied by 1000. For example, the GUI value of 1
indicates that the threshold for the number of uplink
synchronized UEs is 10 (1000 x 1%), the GUI value of 2
indicates a threshold of 20, and the GUI value of 10
indicates a threshold of 100. An exception is that if the
parameter value is 100 or 99, the threshold for the number
of uplink synchronized UEs is 1 or 2, respectively.
GUI Value Range: 1~100
Unit: %
Actual Value Range: 1~100
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 15
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: The value of this
parameter has a significant impact on inter-RAT load
sharing. A larger value of this parameter results in a higher
probability of delayed inter-RAT load sharing when the cell
is overloaded. A smaller value, however, causes a higher
probability of inter-RAT handovers and network
performance deterioration due to low inter-RAT handover
success rates.
Applicable Mode: L
InitValidPeriod UTRAN Meaning: Indicates the standard valid duration for load
Idle Mode sharing with universal terrestrial radio access network
Mobility (UTRAN) for UEs in idle mode. The actual duration
Load increases on the basis of a standard valid duration with the
Balancing increase of the number of uplink-synchronized UEs.

Parameter Relationship:
-Configuration constraints:
In the CellMLB MO, InterRatLoadEvalPrd must be greater
than or equal to InitValidPeriod.
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: A larger value
results in more UEs being transferred to UTRAN cells when
the E-UTRAN cell is overloaded. UEs cannot enjoy LTE
services as they should do. A smaller value leads to a
shorter period in which load transfer from the E-UTRAN cell
to UTRAN cells is allowed and a lower probability of
decreasing the potential load of the E-UTRAN cell.
Applicable Mode: L
LoadTransferFactor Load Meaning: Indicates the control factor for the amount of a
Transfer single load transfer. The value of this parameter has an
Factor impact on the efficiency of MLB algorithm and the algorithm
to prevent ping-pong load transfer.
GUI Value Range: 0~100
Unit: %
Actual Value Range: 0~100
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 0
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: A larger value of
this parameter results in a larger total amount of load to be
transferred and quicker decreases in the cell load, but it
leads to weaker resistance to load fluctuations and therefore
a higher probability of ping-pong handovers. A smaller value
of this parameter leads to the opposite effects.
Applicable Mode: L
MlbTriggerMode Mobility Meaning: Indicates the variable that triggers a mobility load
Load balancing (MLB) procedure.
Balancing In MLB with load information exchange, If this parameter is
Trigger set to PRB_ONLY(PrbMode), PRB usage is used as a
Mode triggering variable and the number of UEs is used as a
supplementary triggering variable; PRB usage difference
between cells is used as a UE transfer condition; the aim of
MLB is to achieve the same number of remaining PRBs
between cells. If this parameter is set to
UE_NUMBER_ONLY(UeNumMode), the number of UEs is
used as a triggering variable; the difference of the number of
UEs per unit of bandwidth between cells is used as a UE
transfer condition; the aim of MLB is to achieve the same
number of UEs per unit of bandwidth between cells. If this
parameter is set to
PRB_OR_UE_NUMBER(PrbOrUeNumMode), the
combination of the triggering variables, UE transfer
conditions, and MLB aims for the values
UE_NUMBER_ONLY(UeNumMode) and
PRB_ONLY(PrbMode) are used.
In MLB without load information exchange, If this parameter
is set to PRB_ONLY(PrbMode), PRB usage is used as a
triggering variable and a UE transfer condition and the
number of UEs is used as a supplementary triggering
variable and a supplementary UE transfer condition; the aim
of MLB is to achieve that the PRB usage is less than the
InterFreqMlbThd parameter value. If this parameter is set to
UE_NUMBER_ONLY(UeNumMode), the number of UEs is
used as a triggering variable and a UE transfer condition;
the aim of MLB is to achieve that the number of UEs is less
than the InterFreqMlbUeNumThd parameter value. If this
parameter is set to
PRB_OR_UE_NUMBER(PrbOrUeNumMode), the
combination of the triggering variables, UE transfer
conditions, and MLB aims for the values
UE_NUMBER_ONLY(UeNumMode) and
PRB_ONLY(PrbMode) are used.
GUI Value Range: PRB_ONLY(PrbMode),
UE_NUMBER_ONLY(UeNumMode),
PRB_OR_UE_NUMBER(PrbOrUeNumMode)
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: PRB_ONLY, UE_NUMBER_ONLY,
PRB_OR_UE_NUMBER
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: PRB_ONLY(PrbMode)
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: If this parameter is
set to PRB_ONLY, channel resource allocation among
frequencies for transmitting user data is balanced, and the
system throughput increases.
If this parameter is set to UE_NUMBER_ONLY, the packet
transmission delay reduces, and user experience improves.
Applicable Mode: L
MlbMaxUeNum Mobility Meaning: Indicates the maximum number of UEs that can
Load be transferred to inter-frequency neighboring cells within a
Balancing load balancing period triggered by different factors. This
Max UE parameter is used to prevent too many UEs from being
Number transferred to inter-frequency neighboring cells within a load
balancing procedure and the load in inter-frequency
neighboring cells from increasing significantly.
GUI Value Range: 1~20
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: 1~20
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 5
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: If this parameter is
set to a larger value, a great number of UEs can be
transferred to neighboring cells, leading to a significant
decrease of load in the serving cell but a quick increase of
load in neighboring cells. If this parameter is set to a smaller
value, the load in the serving cell does not decease
obviously.
Applicable Mode: L
DlDataMlbMode Downlink Meaning: Indicates the MLB mode for downlink data
Data- transfer. If this parameter is set to UeNumBased, the
transfer downlink data transfer MLB algorithm is enabled. If this
MLB parameter is set to NON_TRIGGERED, the downlink data
mode transfer MLB algorithm is disabled.
This parameter is dedicated to LTE TDD cells.
GUI Value Range:
NON_TRIGGERED(NON_TRIGGERED),
UENUMBASED(UENUMBASED)
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: NON_TRIGGERED, UENUMBASED
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: It is recommended that
DlDataMlbMode be set to NON_TRIGGERED when the cell
load is light and UEs are evenly distributed in different cells
in an early stage of network deployment. If the cell load is
close to the full load and UEs are not
evenly distributed between cells, set this parameter to
UeNumBased.
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: If the cell load is
heavy and the number of UEs among cells is seriously
imbalanced, downlink data transfer MLB mode prevents
throughput of edge cells from deterioration and ensures the
throughput fairness of all UEs.
Applicable Mode: L
HotSpotUeMode Hot Spot Meaning: Indicates whether the inter-RAT MLB to UTRAN is
UE Mode performed only on UEs in hotspots.This parameter applies
only to LTE TDD cells.
GUI Value Range: OFF(Off), ON(On)
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: OFF, ON
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: OFF(Off)
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: If this parameter is
set to ON(On), MLB to UTRAN is performed only on UEs in
hotspots and ensures optimal user experience only for UEs
not in hotspots. If this parameter is set to OFF(Off), the
UTRAN MLB is performed on all UEs and ensures optimal
user experience of all UEs.
Applicable Mode: L
InterFreqUeTrsfType InterFreq Meaning: Indicates the type of UEs that are transferred for
MLB inter-frequency load balancing (excluding blind load
Transfer balancing).If the SynchronizedUE check box is
Type selected,synchronized UEs are transferred for inter-
frequency user-number-based load balancing.If the IdleUE
check box is selected, UEs in idle mode are transferred for
inter-frequency user-number-based load balancing.If the
PrbMlbSynchronizedUE check box is selected,
synchronized UEs are transferred for inter-frequency PRB-
based load balancing.This parameter is dedicated to LTE
TDD cells.If the PrbMlbIdleUE check box is selected, UEs in
idle mode are transferred for inter-frequency PRB-based
load balancing.This parameter is dedicated to LTE TDD
cells.If multiple check boxes are selected, multiple uplink
synchronized UEs and UEs in idle mode are transferred for
load balancing.If no check box is selected, no UE is
transferred for load balancing.
GUI Value Range: SynchronizedUE(SynchronizedUE),
IdleUE(IdleUE),
PrbMlbSynchronizedUE(PrbMlbSynchronizedUE),
PrbMlbIdleUE(PrbMlbIdleUE)
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: SynchronizedUE, IdleUE,
PrbMlbSynchronizedUE, PrbMlbIdleUE
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: SynchronizedUE:On, IdleUE:Off,
PrbMlbSynchronizedUE:On, PrbMlbIdleUE:Off
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: SynchronizedUE: If
this switch is on, UL-synchronized UEs are transferred for
load balancing. The load in the source cell decreases
quickly, and the average data rate for the rest UEs in the
source cell increases.
IdleUE: If this switch is on, the RRC Connection Release
messages containing dedicated cell reselection frequency
priorities are sent to UEs with UE inactivity timers timing out,
and these UEs are reselected to the specified frequencies.
Because only UEs in idle mode are transferred for load
balancing, services of UEs in connected mode are not
interrupted, and load balancing in the source cell is
achieved in an implicit manner.
PrbMlbSynchronizedUE: If this switch is on, UL-
synchronized UEs are transferred for PRB-based load
balancing. The PRB load in the source cell with decreases
quickly, and the average data rate for the rest UEs in the
source cell increases.
PrbMlbIdleUE: If this switch is on, the RRC Connection
Release messages containing dedicated cell reselection
frequency priorities are sent to UEs with UE inactivity timers
timing out, and these UEs are reselected to the specified
frequencies. Because only UEs in idle mode are transferred
for PRB-based load balancing, services of UEs in connected
mode are not interrupted, and PRB-based load balancing in
the source cell is achieved in an implicit manner.
If multiple switches are on, UEs in corresponding types are
transferred for load balancing.
If none of the switches is on, no UE is transferred for load
balancing.
Applicable Mode: L
LoadBalanceNCellScope Load Meaning: Indicates the policy based on which the serving
Balancing cell selects certain neighboring cells as candidate cells for
Neighbor inter-frequency load balancing if no neighboring cells are
Cell manually configured as overlapping neighboring cells. If this
Scope parameter is set to ADAPTIVE(Adaptive), the serving cell
preferentially selects certain intra-eNodeB neighboring cells
as candidate cells for load balancing. For blind load
balancing, the serving cell selects only inter-eNodeB
neighboring cells. If this parameter is set to ALL(All), the
serving cell selects all inter-frequency neighboring cells as
candidate cells for inter-frequency load balancing.
GUI Value Range: ADAPTIVE(Adaptive), ALL(All)
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: ADAPTIVE, ALL
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: ADAPTIVE(Adaptive)
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: Setting this
parameter to ADAPTIVE results in fewer load information
exchange messages over the X2 interfaces and smaller
impacts on the eNodeB processing capability.
Setting this parameter to ALL results in more load
information exchange messages over the X2 interfaces and
larger impacts on the eNodeB processing capability.
Applicable Mode: L
IdleUeSelFreqScope Idle UE Meaning: Indicates the frequency selection policy for inter-
Select frequency MLB by transferring RRC_IDLE UEs. If this
Frequency parameter is set to LOADINFOFREQ(LOADINFOFREQ),
Scope only neighboring E-UTRAN frequencies whose load status
has been obtained can be selected as target frequencies. If
this parameter is set to ALLFREQ(ALLFREQ), all
neighboring E-UTRAN frequencies can be selected as
target frequencies, regardless of whether load information
about the frequencies has been obtained. This parameter
applies only to LTE TDD cells.
GUI Value Range: LOADINFOFREQ(LOADINFOFREQ),
ALLFREQ(ALLFREQ)
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: LOADINFOFREQ, ALLFREQ
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: LOADINFOFREQ(LOADINFOFREQ)
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: If this parameter is
set to LOADINFOFREQ(LOADINFOFREQ), the number of
times MLB is performed decreases and the throughput of
UEs served by the local cell is not maximized.
If this parameter is set to ALLFREQ(ALLFREQ), the number
of times MLB is performed increases, the throughput of UEs
served by the local cell is maximized, but the throughput of
UEs served by the neighboring cells that do not support load
information exchange is not maximized.
Applicable Mode: L
InterRatMlbUeSelStrategy InterRAT Meaning: Indicates the strategy for selecting UEs in inter-
MLB UE RAT MLB triggered by the PRB usage. If this parameter is
Select set to PRBRATIOHIGHMODE(PRBRATIOHIGHMODE), the
Strategy eNodeB transfers UEs whose PRB usage is greater than
2% but less than half of the LoadDiffThd parameter value. If
this parameter is set to
PRBRATIOLOWMODE(PRBRATIOLOWMODE), the
eNodeB transfers UEs whose PRB usage is less than or
equal to the InterRatMlbUeSelPrbThd parameter value.
GUI Value Range:

MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value:
PRBRATIOHIGHMODE(PRBRATIOHIGHMODE)
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: If this parameter is
set to PRBRATIOHIGHMODE, UEs with high PRB usage
can be quickly transferred, and the load in the source cell
can be quickly relieved. If this parameter is set to
PRBRATIOLOWMODE, a large number of UEs with low
PRB usage can be transferred, and the number of UEs in
the source cell decreases.
Applicable Mode: L
InterRatMlbUeSelPrbThd InterRAT Meaning: Indicates the PRB usage threshold for selecting
MLB UE UEs in inter-RAT load sharing. If the
Select InterRatMlbTriggerMode parameter is set to
PRB IRAT_PRB_ONLY and the InterRatMlbUeSelStrategy
Threshold parameter is set to PRBRATIOLOWMODE, UEs whose
PRB usage is less than or equal to the
InterRatMlbUeSelPrbThd parameter value are selected for
PRB-usage-based inter-RAT load sharing. If the
InterRatMlbTriggerMode parameter is set to
IRAT_UE_NUMBER_ONLY, UEs whose PRB usage is less
than or equal to the InterRatMlbUeSelPrbThd parameter
value are selected for UE-number-based inter-RAT load
sharing.
GUI Value Range: 0~50

Actual Value Range: 0~50
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 2
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: A larger value of
this parameter results in a larger number of UEs selected for
inter-RAT load sharing. A smaller value of this parameter
results in a smaller number of UEs.
Applicable Mode: L
PrbLoadCalcMethod Prb Load Meaning: Indicates the PRB load calculation method when
Calculatio the Mobility Load Balancing Trigger Mode parameter is set
n Method to PRB_ONLY or PRB_OR_UE_NUMBER. The parameter
value PRB_USAGE indicates that the PRB load is
calculated based on the PRB usage. The parameter value
PRB_VALUATION_WITH_CTRL indicates that the PRB
load is calculated based on the PRB evaluation for traffic
channels and control channels. The parameter value
PRB_VALUATION_NO_CTRL indicates that the PRB load
is calculated based on the PRB evaluation only for traffic
channels. If this parameter is set to PRB_USAGE, the PRB
usage of multiple cells is more likely to reach the maximum.
If this parameter is set to PRB_VALUATION_WITH_CTRL
or PRB_VALUATION_NO_CTRL, the transmission rate of
each service is more likely to reach the minimum. Set this
parameter based on requirements. This parameter applies
only to LTE TDD cells.
GUI Value Range: PRB_USAGE(PRB_USAGE),

MlbUeSelectPunishTimer MLB UE Meaning: Indicates the length of the timer for punishing UEs
Selection that are selected for MLB but fail to be transferred to target
Punish cells. Before the timer expires, the UEs cannot be
Timer transferred for MLB.
GUI Value Range: 0~3600
Unit: s
Actual Value Range: 0~3600
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 120
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: If the parameter is
set to a large value, UEs that fail to perform MLB-based
handovers cannot be transferred in a long time. This affects
the local MLB efficiency and hinders maximizing the cell
throughput. If this parameter is set to a small value, the UEs
that fail to perform MLB-based handovers can be selected
again after a short time. This improves the local MLB
efficiency, maximizes the user throughput in the cell, but
decreases the throughput of a single UE due to the inter-
frequency measurements.
Applicable Mode: L
InterRatMlbTriggerMode InterRAT Meaning: Indicates the triggering mode for inter-RAT load
MLB sharing by transferring RRC_CONNECTED UEs. If this
Trigger parameter is set to IRAT_PRB_ONLY, inter-RAT load
Mode sharing is triggered based on the physical resource block
(PRB) usage and the number of UEs. If the PRB usage of
the cell is greater than or equal to the sum of the
InterRatMlbThd and LoadOffset parameter values and the
number of uplink synchronized UEs in the cell is greater
than or equal to the sum of the InterRatMlbUeNumThd and
InterRatMlbUeNumOffset parameter values, PRB-usage-
based inter-RAT load sharing is triggered. If this parameter
is set to IRAT_UE_NUMBER_ONLY, inter-RAT load sharing
is triggered only based on the number of UEs. If the number
of uplink synchronized UEs in the cell is greater than or
equal to the sum of the InterRatMlbUeNumModeThd and
InterRatMlbUeNumOffset parameter values, UE-number-
based inter-RAT load sharing is triggered. If this parameter
is set to IRAT_PRB_OR_UE_NUMBER, inter-RAT load
sharing can be triggered based on either PRB usage or the
number of UEs when the related triggering conditions are
met.
GUI Value Range: IRAT_PRB_ONLY(PRB Usage),

MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: IRAT_PRB_ONLY(PRB Usage)
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: If this parameter is
set to IRAT_PRB_ONLY, balanced channel resource
allocation among control channels and traffic channels can
be maintained, and cell throughput increases. If this
parameter is set to IRAT_UE_NUMBER_ONLY, the packet
transmission delay decreases, and user experience
improves.
Applicable Mode: L
InterRatMlbUeNumModeT InterRAT Meaning: Indicates the threshold for the number of uplink
hd MLB UE synchronized UEs in the cell used to trigger UE-number-
Number based inter-RAT load sharing. If the number of uplink
Mode synchronized UEs in the cell is greater than or equal to the
Threshold sum of the InterRatMlbUeNumModeThd and
InterRatMlbUeNumOffset parameter values, UE-number-
based inter-RAT load sharing is triggered. If the number of
uplink synchronized UEs in the cell is less than the
InterRatMlbUeNumModeThd parameter value, UE-number-
based inter-RAT load sharing stops. If the
InterRatMlbTriggerMode parameter is set to
IRAT_PRB_OR_UE_NUMBER, it is recommended that the
InterRatMlbUeNumModeThd parameter be set to a value
equal to or greater than the InterRatMlbUeNumThd
parameter value.
GUI Value Range: 1~10000
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: 1~10000
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 150
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: The value of this
parameter has a significant impact on inter-RAT load
sharing. A larger value of this parameter results in a higher
probability of delayed inter-RAT load sharing when the cell
is overloaded. A smaller value, however, causes a higher
probability of inter-RAT handovers and network
performance deterioration due to low inter-RAT handover
success rates.
Applicable Mode: L
InterFreqOffloadOffset Inter-Freq Meaning: Indicates the PRB usage threshold used for
Offload offloading traffic to neighboring cells with which the source
Offset cell does not exchange load information during inter-
frequency MLB. Assume that the MlbTriggerMode
parameter is set to PRB_ONLY(PrbMode) or
PRB_OR_UE_NUMBER(PrbOrUeNumMode). For LTE
FDD, if the PRB usage in the source cell is greater than or
equal to the sum of the InterFreqMlbThd and
InterFreqOffloadOffset parameter values, neighboring cells
with which the source cell does not exchange load
information can be selected as the target cells for MLB, and
the source cell cannot be selected as a target cell for MLB.
If the PRB usage in the source cell is less than the value
calculated by the InterFreqMlbThd parameter value plus the
InterFreqOffloadOffset parameter value and then minus the
LoadOffset parameter value, the source cell can be selected
as a target cell for MLB. For LTE TDD, if the downlink PRB
usage in the source cell is greater than or equal to the sum
of the InterFreqMIbThd, InterFreqOffloadOffset, and
InterFreqMlbDlPrbOffset parameter values, neighboring
cells with which the source cell does not exchange load
information can be selected as the target cells for MLB in
the downlink. If the uplink PRB usage in the source cell is
greater than or equal to the sum of the InterFreqMIbThd,
InterFreqOffloadOffset, and InterFreqMlbUlPrbOffset
parameter values, neighboring cells with which the source
cell does not exchange load information can be selected as
the target cells for MLB in the uplink. If the downlink PRB
usage in the source cell is greater than or equal to the sum
of the InterFreqMIbThd and InterFreqOffloadOffset
parameter values or the uplink PRB usage in the source cell
is greater than or equal to the sum of the InterFreqMlbUlThd
and InterFreqOffloadOffset parameter values, the source
cell cannot be selected as a target cell for MLB. If the
downlink PRB usage in the source cell is less than value
calculated by the sum of the InterFreqMlbThd and
InterFreqOffloadOffset parameter values minus the
LoadOffset parameter value and the uplink PRB usage is
less than the value calculated by the sum of the
InterFreqMlbUlThd and InterFreqOffloadOffset parameter
values minus the LoadOffset parameter value, the source
cell can be selected as a target cell for MLB.
GUI Value Range: 0~100
Unit: %
Actual Value Range: 0~100
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: Null
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: This parameter
needs to be set in scenarios where load-exchange-required
MLB and load-exchange-omitted offload are enabled
simultaneously. A smaller value of this parameter results in
a higher probability of transferring load to neighboring cells
with which the source cell does not exchange load
information. A larger value of this parameter results in a
lower probability. Set this parameter based on the expected
average UE throughput and the relationship between the
average UE throughput and PRB usage in live networks.
Setting this parameter to a proper value helps decrease the
proportion of low-speed UEs in the network.
Applicable Mode: L
CellCapacityScaleFactor Cell Meaning: Indicates the scale factor used to determine the
Capacity MLB capability of a cell. This factor helps adjust the MLB
Scale target in UE-number-based MLB. The MLB capability of a
Factor cell equals the value calculated by the cell bandwidth
(number of RBs) multiplied by the CellCapacityScaleFactor
parameter value. MLB with this parameter taken effect aims
to achieve even loads in each cell with the same bandwidth.

Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: A smaller value of
this parameter results in less traffic volume allocated to the
cell in MLB. A larger value of this parameter results in more
traffic volume allocated to the cell in MLB.
Applicable Mode: L
InterRatMlbMaxUeNum Inter-RAT Meaning: Indicates the maximum number of UEs that can
MLB be transferred within an execution period of PRB-usage- or
Maximum user-number-based inter-RAT MLB. This parameter is used
Transferre to prevent excessive UEs from being transferred to inter-

Number load in inter-RAT neighboring cells from increasing
significantly.
GUI Value Range: 1~20
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: 1~20
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 3
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: A larger parameter
value indicates more UEs that can be transferred within an
MLB procedure, thereby reducing cell load more quickly.
However, the load of neighboring cells to which UEs are
transferred increases more quickly. A smaller parameter
value results in the opposite effects.
A smaller parameter value is recommended when
InterRatMlbTriggerMode is set to IRAT_PRB_ONLY(PRB
Usage), and a larger parameter value is recommended
when InterRatMlbTriggerMode is set to
IRAT_UE_NUMBER_ONLY(UE Number).
Applicable Mode: L

In the CellMLB MO,the value of MaxSpectralEfficiencyValue
must be greater than or equal to the value of
MinSpectralEfficiencyValue.
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: If this parameter is
set to a smaller value, cells with high spectral efficiency
share less traffic, which means that UEs in such cells enjoy
higher throughput. However, the user experience is uneven
among cells. A larger value leads to the opposite effect.
Applicable Mode: L
MinSpectralEfficiencyValu Min Meaning: Indicates the minimum value of the updated cell
e Spectral spectral efficiency. When spectral-efficiency-based load
Efficiency evaluation is used, the eNodeB periodically measures cell
Value spectral efficiency to update the spectral efficiency value.
This parameter controls the minimum value of the updated
cell spectral efficiency.

must be greater than or equal to the value of
MinSpectralEfficiencyValue.
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: If this parameter is
set to a smaller value, cells with low spectral efficiency
share less traffic, which means that UEs in such cells enjoy
higher throughput and user experience is even among cells.
However, if cell-edge users account for a large proportion of
users in the cells, the spectrum resource utilization of the
entire network decreases. A larger value leads to the
opposite effect.
Applicable Mode: L
SpectralEffAdjustMaxStep Spectral Meaning: Indicates the maximum step value of the updated
Efficiency cell spectral efficiency. When spectral-efficiency-based load
Adjust evaluation is used, the eNodeB periodically measures the
Max Step spectral efficiency of the cell for spectral efficiency update.

between the current and the previous measurement values
is greater than or equal to the configured parameter value,
this parameter value can be used as the updated step.
When a measurement period ends and the difference
between the current and the previous measurement values
is smaller than the configured parameter value, the current
measurement value can be used as the updated step.

Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: When this
parameter is set to a smaller value, a smaller step value of
the updated cell spectral efficiency is allowed, the MLB
convergence speed is slower, and the number of ping-pong
MLBs decreases. A larger parameter value leads to the
opposite effect.
Applicable Mode: L
MlbIdleUeNumAdjFactor MLB Idle Meaning: Indicates the factor of the number of RRC_IDLE
UE UEs that can be transferred within an MLB period during an
Number intra-RAT MLB. If this parameter is set to 0, all the UEs
Adjust released in the MLB period can be transferred. When the
Factor parameter is set to a value other than 0, the maximum
number of RRC_IDLE UEs that can be transferred in MLB is
calculated as follows: (1). In PRB-usage-based MLB:
Maximum number = MlbIdleUeNumAdjFactor parameter
value x Upper limit percentage for PRB-usage-based MLB x
Number of UL-sync UEs in the cell; (2) In UL-sync UE
mode: Maximum number = MlbIdleUeNumAdjFactor
parameter value x Upper limit of total number of UEs that
can be transferred.

MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: 10
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: When this
parameter is set to a smaller value other than 0, fewer UEs
can execute reselection in a single MLB period, the load
convergence stability is better, but the MLB convergence
time is longer. A larger value other than 0 leads to the
opposite effect.
Applicable Mode: L
IdleMlbUeNumDiffThd Idle MLB Meaning: Indicates the percentage threshold of the UL-sync
UE UE number difference between serving and neighboring
Number cells for triggering user-number-based MLB to transfer
Difference RRC_IDLE UEs. A neighboring cell can be a target cell in
Threshold MLB when the load difference between the serving cell and
the candidate neighboring cell exceeds the threshold.

Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact on
the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Radio Network Performance: If this parameter is
set to a larger value, more RRC_IDLE UEs can be
transferred within an MLB period, load decreases rapidly,
but it has higher requirements on resource sufficiency of
neighboring cells. A smaller value leads to the opposite
effect.
Applicable Mode: L
L2USmartOffloadThd L2U Smart Meaning: Indicates the threshold of cell throughput for
Offload triggering experience-based MLB to UTRAN. If cell
Threshold throughput is less than the L2USmartOffloadThd parameter
value, experience-based MLB to UTRAN is triggered. If cell
throughput is greater than the sum of the
