Overall Having optimum Cell Selection/Reselection/Handover Parameters, UEs may experience longer battery life, better user experience

overall, and our network will benefit with better KPIs. Please keep in mind that when UEs go to Compressed Mode, they will be in R99 using more Channel Elements/DLpower and OVSF Codes which are not good. And if there is no GSM partner defined, the nd serving cell can go to blocking state easily with few users. I would say if Nextel is not going to use 2 carrier, nor GSM partner for now, might be better to disable some parameters. Please see below my feedback for some basic parameters in this LLD. Any questions/comments, or doubts please come to see me or e-mail me. UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH: is missing? This is usually 24 dBm.

Cell Selection: Current Values are Qqualmin =-18 dB and Qrxlevmin = -116 dBm, for border Cells lets set: Qqualmin =-12 dB, Qrxlevmin=-105 dBm. This way UEs will not ping-pong with other system. Having those thresholds too low, may cause bad user experience. Cell Re-selection: Intra Freq Measurements: o For border Cells: Due to above, SintraSeacrh= 4 dB. That way UE will be doing intra measurements at same values( qqualmeas<=-8 dB) Inter Freq Measurements: o For Core Cells Sintersearch = 6 dB and for Border Cells Sinterseacrh= 0 dB, then UE will start measuring other carriers when Qqualmeas<=-12 dB in both cases. In fact we should disable IFHO measurements since there is only a single carrier for now. Is there a H parameter to disable this? IRAT Measurements ( 2G/GSM Measurements) o This will depend if there is going to be a GSM partner network. Otherwise we should also disable it. On the case there is a roaming partner, let use: o For Core Cells SsearchRAT=0 dB, and for Border Cells SsearchRAT= -2 dB, that way when UEs, Qqualmeas <=-18 dB( core) and -14 dB(Border) will start looking for GSM. IRAT Handover( 3G 2G) This will also depend if there is going to be GSM partner. Otherwise we should disable it. On the case there is going to be partner: 2D EcNo Threshold=-14 dB is too high. These settings are OK for border cells. I would suggest to leave this in -18dB for areas where there will be continuous 3G coverage, otherwise UEs will be going to Compressed Mode and doing IRAT to 2G system. 2D RSCP Threshold=-95 dBm, is way too high. RF Design was done for -108 dBm in highway. With -95 dBm, UE will be triggering Compressed Mode and trying to do IRAT, and this will be happening everywhere when UEs are in building. I would suggest to have to settings: o Inside 3G polygon(Core Cells) 2D RSCP Threshold= -115 dBm ( lets disable it in other words) o Border Cells 2D RSCP Threshold= -109 dBm ( 1 dB lower than Link Budget HWY design threshold).

Qqualmin =-18 dB OK Qrxlevmin = -116 dBm H Value: 58 conversion: 58*2
