1 GSM900
LTE 1800 has highest priority in layering. All UE with
supported LTE band will be pushed to camped in LTE
layer. Voice Service in LTE will be served by CSFB to
UMTS layer. Data Service can be handover to UMTS
after LTE out of coverage with good end user experience
in DC HSDPA.
UMTS2100 and UMTS900 are configured with total 4
carriers on co-lo sector. Traffic in all carriers will be
balancing with Call setup re-direction via MBLB. Main
capacity layer in UMTS is UMTS2100, while UMTS900
will be used for blanket coverage layer. UMTS2100 (F1)
will be used for priority layer as CSFB from LTE. If U900
has become seamless coverage, CSFB from LTE will use
U900 as highest priority.
Spectrum re-farming on DCS1800 to introduce LTE. Aim
to keep traffic in 3G as much as possible due to the
reduction on 2G bandwidth. GSM900 can uses EGSM
frequency after these spectrum clear from other
operator ‘s interference.

 Traffic Distribution 3G U2100-U900
 General Design
 Existing U2100 consist of 3 carrier with mixed voice and data service ( HS+R99) for each carrier
 U900 will be used as similar service layer as U2100 with mixed voice and data service (HS+R99)

U2100_F3 HS+R99
U2100_F3 HS+R99

U2100_F2 HS+R99
U2100_F2 HS+R99

U2100_F1 HS+R99
U2100_F1 HS+R99

U900 HS+R99
 Traffic Balancing Solution
 If U900 device penetration is relatively high, traffic should be carefully balanced in order to prevent congestion of the layer
 Traffic management can be applied in both Idle and Connected Mode states

Sintersearch=4 dB, Qrxlevmin=-115 dBm)
 AdjiQoffset1 and AdjiQoffset2=0 since U900 is stronger
 AdjiQrxlevmin=-101 dBm to prevent reselecting to U900 cell with good Ec/No but poor RSCP

• U900 -> U2100 cell reselection

 Interfrequency measurement is triggered early at Ec/No < -6 dB (Qqualmin=-18 dB,
Sintersearch=12 dB)
 Measurement offset is used to favor U2100 (AdjiQoffset1 and AdjiQoffset2 = -10 dB)
 Min quality is used to ensure target cell quality and to avoid pingpong at the edge of U2100
coverage (AdjiQqualmin = -18 dB, AdjiQrxlevmin = -115 dBm)
Redirection via Multi Band Load Balancing

• The Multi-Band Load Balancing (MBLB) feature includes 4 components:

• Redirection during RAB setup:

– either first RAB, or AMR RAB for a UE which already has an NRT RAB
– blind handover
• Redirection during the transition to CELL_DCH:
– state transitions from CELL_FACH, URA_PCH or CELL_PCH
– does not include transition from RRC Idle mode
– blind handover
• Redirection after detecting inactivity in CELL_DCH:
– inactivity detected for last active PS NRT MAC-d flow
– inter-frequency handover with compressed mode measurements
• Redirection due to Mobility:
– addition of cell to active set which has different preferred layer definitions
– inter-frequency handover with compressed mode measurements
