Current Configuration Enhanced Configuration
No Sharing of HS & EUL User between the Carriers of a sector
at RAB Set-up.
This optional feature enables loads haring of HSDPA & EUL
connections between several coverage-related HSDPA capable
cells. The HSDPA load is measured as the number of HS users.
-
WCDMA Mobility
To be implemented to make Traffic Balance between Carriers
-
This feature enables that HSDPA users are divided between several HSDPA enabled carriers
based on operator configurations. Multi Carrier, MIMO and EUL capability is also considered.
The load on HSDPA is measured as number of users. This feature is triggered when a user
is setting up a RAB on HSDPA or having channel switching to HSDPA.
This feature requires the optional RAN feature FAJ 121 405, Inter Frequency Handover and
Cell Reselection.
This feature includes following improvements:
Consider EUL congestion state at Inter-frequency load sharing (IFLS) decisions. This enhancement requires optional feature FAJ 121 1584 UL
efficiency - DCH/EUL load balancing.
Recalculation of Margin parameter (UtranCell::hsIflsMarginUsers) in congested situations.
Re-attempting loadsharing evaluations for lower capabilities in congested scenarios.
More coverage-relations (up to 8), and pathloss-threshold per relation.
A coverage relation is a configured relation used between cells on different frequencies. A
coverage relation is used in IFLS and HS cell selection functions for blind hard handover or
Radio Bearer reconfiguration between WCDMA carriers.

UtranCell pathlossThreshold RNC Pathloss threshold. A pathloss check is performed before triggering a blind IFHO to a candidate cell, when performing load sharing from DCH state. If the pathloss is higher than this threshold, the blind IFHO is not allowed.

8.- CONCLUSIONES:
-
Case : Sector having 3 Carrier ( MXA 3526 , MXU0156 & MXX0156)
Action : To analyze the impact of HS Load Sharing in the 3rd Carrier of the Sector.
Date : Feature Activated from 9th August to 19th August in 3rd Carrier of the Sector. Feature De-activated from 19th August to 31st August in 3rd Carrier of the Sector.
Purpose : This feature allows sharing of HS Load between Carriers of the Sector.
The feature disabling in 3rd Carrier will not allow sharing of HS Load with
1st & 2nd Carrier in high Data Traffic case.
To analyze the impact of this Feature on 3rd Carrier KPI and also1st & 2nd
Carrier KPI.

1st Carrier : MXX0156
The de-activation of Feature in 3rd Carrier causes stop sharing of HS & EUL User to 1st & 2nd Carrier.
The Average HS User in 3rd Carrier increased from 50 to 56 But the Average HS User in 1st and 2nd Carrier reduced .

The 3rd Carrier HS Set-Up Success Rate degraded without Feature because of not sharing of HS & EUL Users with the 1st &2nd Carriers at PS RAB Set-up.
3rd Carrier HS Set-up Success Rate : 98.5% -> 96% Reason HS Attempts increased due to increase Average in HS User in 3rd Carrier.
After Feature disable in 3rd Sector , no load sharing at HS Rab set-up by 1st & 2nd Carrier of the Sector causes Poor HS Set-up Success Rate.
The 1st & 2nd Carrier HS Set-up Success Rate are stable.

The 3rd Carrier EUL Set-Up Success Rate degraded without Feature because of not sharing of HS & EUL Users with the 1st &2nd Carriers at PS RAB Set-up.
3rd Carrier EUL Set-up Success Rate : 60.0% -> 48% in Peak Hour.
After Feature disable in 3rd Sector , no load sharing at PS Rab set-up by 1st & 2nd Carrier of the Sector causes Poor EUL Set-up Success Rate.
The 1st & 2nd Carrier HS Set-up Success Rate are stable.
-
With Feature Without Feature
The EUL rejections in 3rd Sector increased from 18,000 to 22,000 after disabling this Feature in 3rd Sector.
This increased EUL Rejections also degraded EUL Set-up Success Rate in 3rd Sector.
The EUL rejections in 1st & 2nd Carrier are Stable.
-

-
CONCLUSIONES & RECOMENDACIONES
9.- RECOMENDACIONES:
The fe ature is recommended to implement in all the Sites having high Data Users.
- The HS User shared evenly between the Carriers with Feature. The 3rd Carrier becomes heavily
loaded after deactivation of Feature. It is a good Feature to offload the PS User from 3rd Carrier to
other Carriers.
-The load of PS User on 3rd Carrier degraded the HS & EUL Accessibility without Feature.
-The increased load of HS & EUL User on 3rd Carrier after feature deactivation caused degradation
in RRC Accessibility and blocking in RRC.
-Feature de-activation affected CS Accessibility and it becomes poor from 99.5 % to 96.0%.
-Feature de-activation cause decrease in Average HS User Throughput from 1000 Kbps to 800
Kbps.
