Foreword
z Paging is associated with the paging success rate of the
network. It’s closely related to the whole network
performance. This KPI can be optimized by means of
“paging test” and the consequent trouble-shooting based on
paging failure analysis.

z For the network that has been put into service, it may have
experienced several optimization processes before this
optimization. Emphasis should be put on optimization records
about:
Coverage absence
System overload
Paging lost
Low power allocation of paging channel
z Parameters to be checked before optimization:
CN paging retransmission times and paging interval
UTRAN paging retransmission times and paging interval

UE ID used by CN paging (IMSI,TMSI or PTMSI)
DRX Procedure
z UE receives the paging indicator on PICH periodically, that
is the Discontinuous Reception (DRX)
z The value for the DRX paging cycle length is determined as

follows: :
DRX Cycle Length ＝ MAX (2k, PBP) frames
Paging Indicator Channel (PICH)

DRX Procedure (Cont.)
z Through DRX, UE only listens to PICH at certain predefined
time. And UE will read the paging information on SCCPCH if
the paging indicator is 1.
z The value of the Paging Occasion is determined as follows:
Paging Occasion (CELL SFN) =
{(IMSI div K) mod (DRX cycle length div PBP)} * PBP
+ n * DRX cycle length + Frame Offset
DRX Procedure (Cont.)
z In FDD the UE shall monitor its paging indicator in the PICH
frame with SFN given by the Paging Occasion
z The Page Indicator to use is calculated by using the

following formula:
PI = (IMSI div 8192) mod NP

Two KPI, “location area paging success rate” and “RA paging
success rate” , should meet the optimization requirements. The
paging success rate is recommended to be higher than 86%

Paging Problem Allocating Overview
z Paging problems can be divided into three categories:
Paging message is not delivered at the air interface at all
Paging message has been delivered, but UE does not receive

the message or receives the wrong message
UE fails in responding after receiving paging messages

Paging Area Problem Analysis
z In general, CN pages target UE in one paging area (LA or RA)
LA is defined for CS service paging
Mobile terminals can move freely without updating VLR
Contain one or more cells

RA is defined for PS service paging
Mobile terminals can move freely without updating SGSN in a
specified operation mode
A RA may contain one or more cells
z LA ≥ RA
Paging Area Problem Analysis
z Paging area is planned too large
the same paging message of a network paging mobile station
may be sent in multi cells, which will overload the paging
channel as well as increasing signaling flow at the Iub interface
z Paging area is planned too small

subscribers will update locations frequently while moving,
which will increase signaling flow of the system. Moreover,
frequent location update will influence the standby time of UEs

CN paging retransmission is the retransmission paging in case
that UE has not responded at the first time
It is no good for CN paging interval to be too short
Times and Interval
CN paging retransmission configuration should be in
accordance with UTRAN. When UTRAN retransmits paging
once it is suggested for CN configuration to retransmit once
once,
(totally twice) at the interval longer than two paging cycles
Reduce paging repeat times and increase paging interval

the time of no paging responses unchanged, interval of
reporting prompt tones when there is no paging response will
not be influenced
Improper Setting of UTRAN Paging Retransmission
Times and Interval
z Problem Analysis
Paging is delivered at the fixed time (a paging cycle), and UTRAN
paging interval is the integer multiple of a paging cycle, one paging
cycle
y in general
g
we can adjust UTRAN paging repeat interval by adjusting DRX paging
cycle coefficient k
It is reasonable for paging retransmission times to keep the current
default configuration
It is also reasonable to adjust paging retransmission times on RNC

z Problem Analysis
Considering improving call connection rate, CN side can be
configured with whole-network paging, which bears the characteristics
that paging has overridden the concept of location area
area, and is
initiated specific to all UTRANs suspended under whole CN
In this case, paging traffic becomes larger, especially when multiple

location areas are suspended under CN, the location areas with
smaller capacity will be overloaded, and can not recover for a long
time

z Questions:
Suppose that the CN paging repeat time is 1 (totally
broadcasting 2 times), and the interval is 2s, so how should the
UTRAN repeat times and the intervals be set?
z Problem Analysis
Np refers to PI paging indication number delivered in a certain frame by paging
indication channel PICH, the value of which is within the range of (18, 36, 72,
144), which is indicated by Number of PI per frame in SIB5, UE will receive
PICH frame at the specified paging time and find the corresponding PI
indicator bit (the qth PI). Only when the corresponding PI indicator bit is
effective, UE demodulates the corresponding S-CCPCH frame
⎛ ⎢ Np ⎥ ⎞
q = ⎜⎜ PI + ⎢((18 × (SFN + ⎣SFN / 8⎦ + ⎣SFN / 64⎦ + ⎣SFN / 512⎦)) mod 144 ) × ⎥ ⎟⎟ mod Np
⎝ ⎣ 144 ⎦⎠
Significance of Np in the actual network: IMSI is divided into Np groups by this

parameter, and all IMSIs in each group adopt the same PI
z Influences of Np value on network
If Np value is too small, the corresponding UE number in each group
will be larger. For each IMSI, if the probability that PI indication occurs
increases times that IMSI is waken up will increase
increases, increase, which is no good
in saving UE power
If Np value is too large, the corresponding IMSI number in each group

will be smaller. For each IMSI, if the probability that PI indication
occurs decreases, times that IMSI is waken up will decrease.
However if Np is larger
However, larger, the bit number of each PI will decrease and
PICH demodulation performance of UE will be required higher
