The main objectives of WCDMA RAN optimization are to enable better availability of network services(coverage criteria) and to provide a pre-defined service quality and performance (quality of service,QoS, criteria).
Optimization based on coverage criteria:
-Coverage for different data rate services and maximum loading based on traffic forecasts andmargins set for load variation. The cell breathing effect allows the cell size to vary with the load: thesmaller the load, the greater the coverage and vice versa.
- Pilot channel coverage
-Soft handover areas and probabilities The coverage criteria is ensured by pre-planning as well ascontinuous measuring and monitoring of a roll-out and running network.
Further information: the objective of optimizing pilot power is to ensure that the pilot Ec/I0requirement is achieved at the cell edge while minimizing the areas of overlapping cells. The pilot
power itself is set in the database per cell. The common downlink pilot channel is used by the mobilestations for synchronization and channel estimation. Assigning excessive quantities of pilot powerreduces the system capacity, less power is available for traffic channels.

The Common Pilot Channel is one of the most important UMTS channels and is used for: synchronisation with the cell scrambling code, cell selection/reselection, handover decision,
and as a measurement benchmark.
f Tuning of the CPICH power has a big impact on coverage/capacity optimization. Hightransmission power of CPICH reduces the DL capacity, increases DL interferences but alsoincreases the service coverage. Low power may cause unreliable handovers, high call droprate or longer synchronisation process, but from the other hand saves the DL resources.
f The quality of the CPICH can be measured as: RSCP CPICH or CPICH Ec/Io.
f RSCP CPICH is the absolute measure of the code power in the whole 3.84MHz bandwidth
f Ec/Io is the relative
measure of the signal quality.

During network launch pay special attention to:f Interference and noise control (pilot pollution). This exists if received code power is high but
Ec/I0 is very low. Pilot pollution can be optimized by, for example, reducing the signal of theneighbouring cells and by optimising antennas tilts for the neighbouring cells.
f Weak coverage. Low mobile receiver power leads to the degradation of service quality dueto, for example, fading, low Ec/I0, poor FER and it can be improved by adding a site, a betterantenna, or adjusting parameters.
f Call functionality problems, for example, call setup fail or call drop
f System performance degradations due to unbalanced control channel, for example, capacitydegradation.

Problems can be solved either with hardware changes or parameter optimization.Examples of different solutions are:
- adding or deleting radio network objects
- modifying adjacencies
Modifying adjacencies is necessary when BTSs are added to or deleted from the network.
- RNC split (3G rehosting)
RNC split means reconfiguring and expanding the network by rehosting a BTS site to another RNCor by adding a new BTS under an RNC using an existing site as a reference site.
- modifying parameters
Consider whether modifications will affect the services. If they do, plan a date and time for the taskand inform the organisation about the plans. If an element has to be locked for modification, itcannot transmit traffic. By planning and preparing for service loss you can minimize the
unavailability of services.
Adding a site later will affect neighbouring sites and a re-optimisation in the area is necessary.

Parameters allow to optimize the usage of radio network and to fully utilize the planned coverageand capacity. There are parameters related to radio resource management and by tuning those thecapacity can be used best without compromising the quality of services. Radio resourcemanagement is responsible for efficient utilization of the air interface resources and is needed tomaximize the radio performance. They allow to
- guarantee the quality of service: block error ratio (BLER), bit error ratio (BER), and delay
- maintain the planned coverage for each service
- ensure the planned capacity with low blocking
- optimize the use of capacity
- make the best use out of existing hardware
Planning radio network is an iterative process and parameters are planned together with coverageand capacity planning. The parameters offer an initial configuration of the network and the
parameters could be set in the beginning to offer 'loose' limits and admission to all users. Theparameters could be improved later during network optimization to manage the capacity-qualitytrade-off. Parameters are defined in the data-base of the RNC (NodeB?).
Change only one parameter at a time so that you can see what kind of influence thatparameter has on the network.

When the UE is switched on, it looks for a public land mobile network (PLMN) using a certain radioaccess technology.
In the selected PLMN a suitable cell is selected and if this new cell is not in a registered area,location registration is performed via RNC to the core network. The overall process is divided intothree sub-processes:
PLMN selection and reselection to search for an available mobile network.
The selection of the PLMN could be either automatically (list of PLMN to be selected in priorityorder) or manually (the mobile station indicates available PLMN to the user).
In the home PLMN, the MCC (Mobile Country Code) and MNC (Mobile Network Code) of the PLMNidentity match the MCC and MNC of the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) stored onthe USIM (UMTS Subscriber Identity Module). If the UE loses its present PLMN coverage, a newavailable PLMN is selected automatically or manually. If necessary, the UE will do reselection bysearching a suitable cell on a different PLMN.
Cell selection and reselection to search for a suitable cell belonging to the selected PLMN.

6HUYLFH/HYHOVThe network provides different levels of service to a UE in either Idle mode or Connected mode. Threelevels of services are defined:
LIMITED SERVICE: Acceptable cell: UE may camp to obtain limited service like emergency call. Theminimum set of requirements for initiating an emergency call in a UTRAN network are:
The cell is not barred.
The cell selection criteria are fulfilled.
NORMAL SERVICE: for public use on a suitable cell. Suitable cell: UE may camp on to obtain normalservice. Such a cell shall fulfill all the following requirements:
The cell is part of the selected PLMN
The cell is not barred
The cell is not part of a forbidden registration area
The cell selection criteria are fulfilled
OPERATOR SERVICE: FOR OPERATORS ONLY ON A RESERVED CELL.
Reserved cell: When the cell status "reserved for operator use" is indicated and the Access Class of theUE is 11 or 15 the UE may select/re-select this cell if in Home PLMN.
Barred cell: When cell status "barred" is indicated the UE is not permitted to select/re-select this cell, noteven for limited services. UE shall perform a periodic check of the situation. Alternatively the UE can getservice by camping on another cell on the same frequency. This is done by setting the "Intra-frequencycell re-selection indicator" to "allowed". Also in this case a too frequent evaluation of the barred cell maybe avoided excluding the restricted cell from the neighboring cell list.

Idle mode cell selection andreselection
If the UE is unable to find any suitable cell in the selected PLMN, the UE enters to "any cellselection" state.
1. Camped normally state: UE obtains normal service and performs the following tasks:
Select and monitor the PICH and PCH of the cell.
Performs system information monitoring.
Perform necessary measurements for the cell reselection evaluation procedure.
Execute the cell reselection evaluation procedure.
If after cell reselection evaluation process a better cell is found, the cell reselection is performed. Ifno suitable cell is found, the UE enters to next state any cell selection.
2. Any cell selection: UE searches an acceptable cell of any PLMN to camp on. If an acceptable
cell is found, the UE reports to NAS and camp on this cell obtaining limited service. And UE entersto camped on any cell state. If the UE can not find any acceptable cell, it stays in this state.
3. Camped on any cell state: UE obtains limited service and periodically searches for a suitablecell in the selected PLMN. If a suitable cell is found the state changes to Camped normally.
The next figures show the initial cell selection and process for idle mode cell selection andreselection.

The cell search is carried out in three steps:
Step 1 (Slot synchronization): The mobile station uses the 256 chip primary synchronization codeto acquire slot synchronization to a cell. The UE distinguishes the SCH channel from different cellsby the offset timing.
Step 2 (Frame synchronization/code group identification): Based on the peaks detected for theprimary synchronization code, the mobile station seeks the largest peak from the secondary SCHcode word in order to find the frame synchronization and the code group identification. There are 64possibilities for the secondary synchronization code word.
Step 3 (Scrambling code identification): The terminal seeks the primary scrambling codes thatbelongs to the particular code group. Each code group consists of eight primary scrambling codes.
During the cell searching the UE must be synchronized between adjacent cells of the same NodeBto avoid overlap of SCH channels. SCH channel overlap introduces interference and increases thecell search and synchronization time. For cell synchronization an offset timing parameter is used
with a range between 0 to 2304 chips (0.6ms). This offset timing range is at 256 chip steps(0.06ms). The SCH transmit power level is set by radio parameters as an offset respect to theCPICH transmit power level. It is important to set the value correctly to ensure all the downlinkcommon control channels have a common footprint.

The cell selection criterion S is a pre-condition for suitable cells. The conditions for UTRAN FDDand GSM cells are described below.
The UE measures the CPICH Ec/Io and CPICH RSCP level of the serving cell and evaluates thecell selection criterion S for the serving cell at least every DRX cycle.
CS DRX Cycle length = 6, i.e. 26 frames = 640 ms
PS DRX Cycle length = 6, i.e. 26 frames = 640 ms

Hierarchical cell structure uses macro, micro and pico network layers. Mobiles are able toconnect any of these layers at the same geographical location.Next figure shows anexample of the hierarchical cell structure. Layers arerepresented by numbers. In this examplenumber 2 is the layer with the highest priority (i.e. normally the smallest cell). The FDD macrocell provides the wide area coverage and is also used for high-speed mobiles. The microcells are used at street level for outdoor coverage to provide extra capacity where macrocells could not cope. The pico cell would be deployed mainly indoors (office, subway stations,underground garagesetc where is demand medium or high traffic density Theimplementation of hierarchical cell structure provides different benefits to the customer
Flexibility in frequency planning moving to different frequency layers;
Easy introduction of load balancing functions;
Increase the network capacity.
Implementing hierarchical cell structure optimizes the radio cell use.
Different layers are differentiated by frequency, coverage and capacity. Two macro layers withexactly identical coverage are illustrated in the lower figure. Each NodeB supports two radiofrequency layers with three sectors (2/2/2 configuration). The radio cells are in the sameNodeB and on the same antenna. The radio access network may be designed usinghierarchical cell structures. Hierarchical cell structures are composed of different layers usingdifferent frequencies. However, different frequencies can also be used on the samehierarchical layer.

Cell reselection in a HCS case is based on measurements and ranking of the neighbor cells. Thealgorithm differs from the non-HCS case. The main differences are:
Hierarchy is introduced (priorities 0..7);
Measurements of neighbor cells will be triggered if certain HCS-dependent conditions are met. (asdescribed below).
Furthermore, speed sensitivity is considered
HIGH MOBILITY:
For fast moving UEs the procedure is different: If the number of cell reselections during the pasttime period TCRmax (cell hcs tcrmax) exceeds NCR, (cell hcs ncr) high-mobility has been detected.In this high-mobility state, a UE:
measures intra-frequency and inter-frequency neighboring cells, which have an equal or lower
HCS priority than the serving cell;

Quality level threshold criterion H for hierarchical cell structure is used to determine whetherprioritized ranking according to hierarchical cell reselection rules applies. It is defined by:
HS = Qmeas,s - Qhcss
Hn = Qmeas,n - Qhcsn TOn * Ln
Hn depends on the state of the timer Tn (expired y/n) and priority of the neighbor cell:
TOn = TEMP_OFFSETn * W(PENALTY_TIMEn Tn)
Ln = 0 if HCS_PRIOn = HCS_PRIOs
Ln = 1 if HCS_PRIOn HCS_PRIOs
W(x) = 0 for x < 0
W(x) = 1 for x >= 0
The timer Tn is implemented for each neighbor cell. Tn is started from zero when one of thefollowing conditions becomes true:
if HCS_PRIOn HCS_PRIOs and Qmeas,n > Qhcsn or
if HCS_PRIOn = HCS_PRIOs for serving FDD and neighbor FDD cells if the quality measure forcell selection and reselection is set to CPICH RSCP in the serving cell, and:

The purpose of handover control is to manage the mobility aspect of a radio resource control(RRC)connection. This means keeping track of the user equipment (UE) as it moves around in thenetwork, and ensuring that ist connections are uninterrupted and meet the negotiated quality ofservice (QoS) requirements.
Besides supporting the mobility of the UE, handovers play a key role in maintaining high capacity inthe network. Since the capacity of a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) network isdirectly proportional to the level of interference in the network, it is crucial to regulate thetransmission power of all transmitting elements in the network. Each transmission adds to theinterference in the network. The required transmission power, in turn, depends on the bit rate, theinterference and the distance between the UE and the WCDMA base station (BTS).

Softhandover
Hard handover
Interfrequency Handover
Inter-RAT handover from/to UTRAN

Timing maintained handover
The uplink transmission timing and the connection frame number in the UE is not changed. The SRNC must knowthe timing difference between the connection frame number and the system frame number of the target cell.
This works only between the Cells belong to the same sector beeing served by one NodeB.
Timing maintained handover is used for blind handover. In all other cases timing re-initialized handover isperformed. A blind handover is an interfrequency handover that does not trigger inter-frequency measurements onthe target cell no measurments and so no compressed mode is needed.
This may be used in the case of poor quality, High load, or due to the support of usage of HSPA.
RRC redirections are usually not referred to as Handovers but can be seen in this context as a simular mechanism,the RRC connection is redirected to the other frequency, for example because the

The handover decision algorithm of the RNC is fairly straightforward for soft (and softer) handover:the algorithm accepts practically everything the UE suggests according to the measurementreporting events.
The handover control of the RNC contains the following measurement reporting events andmechanisms for modifying measurement reporting behaviour:
- reporting event 1A for adding cells to the active set
- reporting event 1B for deleting cells from the active set
- reporting event 1C for replacing cells in the active set
- event-triggered periodic intra-frequency measurement reporting
- time-to-trigger mechanism for modifying measurement reporting behaviour
-cell individual offsets for modifying measurement reporting behaviour
- reporting events 6F and 6G for deleting cells from the active set
Due to the heavy load in the cell admission control may reject the request and the RRC connectionof the UE is dropped. The reason for this is that, if the UE branch addition had been allowed, itcould have decreased its transmission power and consequently the amount of interference.Likewise, if the UE were allowed to connect to the second-best candidates, in this case, then theywould have to transmit with unnecessarily high power levels. Lastly, the unnormally hightransmission powers used in such a situation would further deteriorate the situation in the rejectedcell. For this reason the UE may never be connected to the second-best BTS.

The adjustment of the filter coefficient mainly depends on the rate of changes of the radiopropagation conditions. The main effects are:
path loss (change of 2..5 dB) UE movement of 100 m,
long term fading (change of 4..10 dB) UE movement of 5 .. 100 m,
short term fading (change of 20..30 dB) UE movement of 0.07 m.
Hence, at the cell border the main variation of the received level is due to long and
short term fading.
Short term fading:
Even for slow moving UEs (e.g. speed = 3.6 km/h) short term fading can be averaged withrather small values of k.
Long term fading:For slow moving UEs long term fading can be averaged by using rather high values of k.
However, a too high value of k delays HO decision. Hence, the setting of the averagingwindow size has to be a compromise between a fast and a reliable decision.
For faster moving mobiles the problem is not as severe.

PS-ONLY CASE: CELL CHANGE ORDERThe purpose of the cell change order procedure is to transfer a UTRAN PS RAB connection to aGSM/GPRS cell under the control of the UTRAN. The UTRAN orders the UE to perform a cell
change to a GSM/GPRS cell if the radio condition quality measurements are below a certainthreshold and the GSM measurement quality is above a certain threshold.
The conditions for the cell change order procedure are:
The UE is in CELL_DCH state AND
Only PS RAB(s) exist AND
No signaling connection to the CS domain exists
The cell change order procedure is applied to UEs with PS RAB(s) regardless of the service (besteffort, streaming,), provided that the UE is in CELL_DCH state. If a UE has both, CS and PSRABs, the CS call has the highest priority. In this case, the UMTS to GSM handover procedure isstarted instead of the cell change order procedure,
Cell change order has to be enabled and applies for PS-only connections.

f Every new requested bearer has to be evaluated by RRM algorithms. Packet schedulingfunctionality defines a possible set of transport channel formats (possible bit rates) fro non-realtime services.
f For every proposed bit rate, admission control functionality has to calculate the power, which willbe needed to establish the connection with the sufficient quality. If the RTWP increased by newuser will be bellow the cell load target value, the new bearer will be admitted. If it will be above thislimit, but still below cell load target value increased by offset, only packet scheduler functionalitycan take the decision about an admission of the new bearer. Nevertheless, the existing bearersshould be recalculated (in order to prevent a possible overload situation). In case the increasedthreshold is broken, an overload algorithm should decrease the existing bit rates.
f When switching between common channels (RACH/FACH) for low bit bearers and dedicatedchannels for high bit bearers, packet scheduler effectively uses a short radio interface resourcesand keeps the load below the target threshold.

During idle mode cell re-selection is done for circuit and packet switched services but cell re-selection happens also during connected mode for packet switched services. Cell re-selectionmethods from GSM to WCDMA and from W CDMA to GSM are performed differently. Therefore youneed to define how the cell re-selection procedures for the user equipment in the idle or connectedmode are performed. Cell re-selection parameters are planned for different types of userequipment: non-GPRS and GPRS capable phones. Cell re-selection within UMTS and fromGSM to WCDMA is performed by the user equipment.
Benefits of the cell re-selection to GSM:
- Less location updates are performed, provided micro and macro (WCDMA and GSM) layers exist.
- The number of handovers is reduced from WCDMA to GSM.
Benefits of cell re-selection to WCDMA:
- 3G services are available for all dual-mode mobiles even without a GSM to WCDMA handover ora network controlled cell re-selection. Due to the compressed mode, possible loss of coverage orcapacity is decreased.
- The W CDMA network is utilized in a maximum way.

If the serving cell (or cells participating in soft handover) has neighbour cells both on anothercarrier frequency and on another radio access technology (GSM), the RNC determines thepriorities between inter-frequency and inter-system handovers on the basis of Service HandoverIE value. The RNC receives the Service Handover IE from the core network in the RABASSIGNMENT REQUEST or RELOCATION REQUEST (RANAP) message.
- Should be handed over to GSM:
Inter-system handover takes precedence over inter-frequency handover. In this case the RNCdoes not start inter-frequency measurements until the inter-system measurements have beencompleted, that is, when no neighbour GSM cell is good enough for the quality and/or coveragereason handover.
- Should not be handed over to GSM:
Inter-frequency handover takes precedence over inter-system handover. In this case the RNCdoes not start the inter-system measurements until the inter-frequency measurements have beencompleted, that is, when no neighbouring cell is good enough for the quality and/or coverage

- Shall not be handed over to GSM:
In this case, the RNC does not start inter-system measurements or handover to GSM even if noneighbour cell is good enough for the quality and/or coverage reason inter-frequency handover.This means that the RNC does not initiate handover to GSM for the UE unless the RABs with thisindication have first been released with the normal release procedures.

Inter-system handover of packet-switched services between WCDMA and GSM/general packetradio service (GPRS) is based on the cell reselection procedure.
The RNC supports network-initiated cell reselection from WCDMA to GSM/GPRS in CELL_DCHstate of connected mode. In CELL_PCH and URA_PCH states of connected mode, the cellreselection is initiated by the UE. The RNC does not support cell reselection from WCDMA toGSM/GPRS in CELL_FACH state of connected mode (however, a UE equipped with a dualreceiver can perform the cell reselection also in CELL_FACH state).
The RNC sees the cell reselection from GSM/GPRS to WCDMA as an radio resource control(RRC) connection establishment, and the UE-initiated cell reselection from WCDMA to GSM/GPRSas an Iu connection release.
