2nd Carrier New Strategies

Strategy I: Cell Barred with 1 HSDPA Layer (Light HSDPA Traffic)

Idle Mode Strategy

Default Settings will be applied for Idle Mode Parameter both F1 and F2.

AMR+R99

HSDPA+R99 F2: Cell Barred (Not allow to be camped in Idle Mode)

F1: Default Setting for Idle Mode

Mobile camps on F1 only in idle mode.

Whenever the mobile starts making call, the mobile will be directed to the right layer using Enhance DRRC feature.

AMR+R99

Pros and Cons

• Pros:– Traffic Behavior is controllable.– HSDPA Codes Pre-emption is controllable.– Simple for Neighbour Definition. Just only define Adji and Adjs for F2.

(Neighbours of Existing Layer (F1 and GSM) do not need to do anything)– There will be no problem with existing ADJ having neighbour > 47.– Simple Parameter Setting for Idle Mode– Less CE Consumption

• Cons:– No IFSO from F1 to F2 for a PS call when handover needed. The PS call from

F1 will hand off to GSM layer instead. ( One Way ADJI defined between F1 and F2). This could cause 3G throughput downgraded to GPRS speed.

– Less HSDPA Capacity

Strategy II: Random Access with equal service Layers (Modulate HSDPA Traffic)

Idle Mode Strategy

Default Settings will be applied for Idle Mode Parameter both F1 and F2.

AMR+R99+HS

AMR+R99+HS F2: Default Setting for Idle Mode

F1: Default Setting for Idle Mode

Mobile randomly camps on either F1 or F2 in idle mode.

Pros and Cons

• Pros:– Better HSDPA Mobility in F1 – Simple Parameter Setting for Idle Mode– Double HSDPA Capacity (2 HSDPA in both F1 and F2)– Using less feature.– Reduce DRRC and HLCC signaling between F1 and F2 Layers

• Cons:– Unable to control the traffic behavior of all services. Most likely that all

traffic could be in F2 due to better RF condition.– HSDPA Codes are pre-emptioned (stolen) by AMR and PS R99 Calls. It

can make HSDPA Throughput low. – Consume more CE– Neighbour Definition is complicated. And there will be some problem

with existing ADJ having neighbour > 47.

Strategy III: Cell Barred with 2 HSDPA Layers plus Load Sharing (Modulate-High HSDPA Traffic)

Idle Mode Strategy

Default Settings will be applied for Idle Mode Parameter both F1 and F2.

F2: Cell Barred (Not allow to be camped in Idle Mode)

F1: Default Setting for Idle Mode

Mobile camps on F1 only in idle mode.

Whenever the mobile starts making call, the mobile will be directed to the right layer using Enhance DRRC feature.
