WCDMA RAN
2 Overview
Overview
On a live UMTS network, some phone models underperform when compared with other vendor
phones in the same radio environment due to the following reasons:
l
Poor signal reception leads to downlink signaling radio bearer (SRB) failures.
The special antenna design leads to deteriorated signal reception while a user is holding
the unit.
Therefore, these phone models are more prone to call drops. However, these phone models are
generally used by high Average Revenue Per User (APRU) users. To preferentially improve
their user experience, Huawei introduces the Voice Service Experience Improvement for Weak
Reception UEs feature.
This feature enables the radio network controller (RNC) to identify weak reception UEs based
on the International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI) and to configure dedicated power
control and handover parameters for them. Based on the parameter settings, weak reception UEs
obtain a high downlink power control threshold in weak coverage areas and perform handovers
at the designated threshold. This prevents frequent compressed mode measurements and call
drops caused by signal quality fluctuations.
This feature improves the user experience of CS voice services for weak reception UEs by
compensating for poor signal reception with increased downlink power. However, in extreme
cases, this increases power consumption and reduces cell capacity.
Issue 01 (2013-04-28)

WCDMA RAN
3 Technical Description
Technical Description
3.1 Overview
For CS voice services, Voice Service Experience Improvement for Weak Reception UEs enables
the RNC to perform a new International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI) acquisition
procedure. During this procedure, the RNC detects the IMEI Type Allocation Code (TAC) and
determines the UE type. If the UE is a weak reception UE, the RNC configures dedicated power
control and handover parameters for the UE. Based on the parameter settings, the weak reception
UE obtains a high downlink power control threshold in weak coverage areas and performs
handovers at the designated threshold.
TAC
The TAC, which is allocated by the Globe System for Mobile Association (GSMA) and its
authorized organizations, differentiates cell phone brands and types. As defined in 3GPP TS
23.003, the TAC is the first 8 digits of the 15-digit IMEI, which uniquely identifies a wireless
device. For example, if the IMEI of a weak reception UE is 012426007285409, the TAC is
01242600. Figure 3-1 shows the IMEI composition.
Figure 3-1 IMEI composition
Implementation Procedure
Implementing this feature involves two major procedures:
1.
Issue 01 (2013-04-28)
Weak reception UE identification: Upon receiving a CS service setup request from a UE,
the RNC identifies the UE type based on the IMEI TAC.
WCDMA RAN
2.
Differentiated handling: The RNC assigns the weak reception UE dedicated radio
performance parameters for differentiated power control and handovers.
This feature can be enabled by selecting Special_User_Enhance under TAC_FUNC

(BSC6900,BSC6910).
3.2 Weak Reception UE Identification

The RNC first obtains the IMEI of a UE and then uses the IMEI TAC to determine whether the
UE is a weak reception UE.
3.2.1 Obtaining the IMEI

UE identification is based on the IMEI, which is obtained by the CN or RNC. If the IMEI
acquisition function is enabled on the CN, the CN obtains the IMEI. If the IMEI acquisition
function is disabled on the CN, the RNC obtains the IMEI.
l
IMEI obtained by the CN: When a UE initiates a CS service setup request, the CN sends
an Identity Request message to the UE to request its IMEI. Then, the RNC extracts the
IMEI contained in the Identity Response message sent from UE to the CN.
IMEI obtained by the RNC: When a UE initiates a CS service setup request, the RNC rather
than the CN sends an Identity Request message to the UE to request its IMEI after the
security mode procedure has been successfully performed.
The RNC_CS_QUERY_UE_IMEI_SWITCH switch under PROCESSSWITCH2
(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies whether to enable the RNC to obtain the IMEI.
NOTE
When exchanging messages with a UE, the CN may check the send sequence number for the messages,
which is denoted as N(SD). If the RNC rather than the CN sends an Identity Request message to the UE,
the check may fail due to send sequence number inconsistency between the UE and the CN. To avoid data
inconsistency, the RNC sends an MM NULL message to the CN upon receiving an Identity Response
message from the UE. If the CN does not check the send sequence number for messages, the RNC does
not send an MM NULL message to the CN.
The SEND_MSG_NULL_SWITCH switch under PROCESSSWITCH4

(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies whether to enable the RNC to send the MM NULL message.
For details about the send sequence number, see 3GPP TS 24.008 and 3GPP TS 24.007.
Figure 3-2 describes how the RNC obtains the IMEI.
Issue 01 (2013-04-28)

WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-2 How the RNC obtains the IMEI
3.2.2 Identifying Weak Reception UEs

After obtaining the IMEI of a UE, the RNC extracts the TAC from the IMEI and checks whether
the TAC is contained in the TAC list. The list is configured by running the ADD UIMEITAC
command.
l
If the TAC is contained in the TAC list, the RNC determines that the UE is a weak reception
UE and performs subsequent differentiated handling procedures.
If the TAC is not contained in the TAC list, the RNC determines that the UE is not a weak
reception UE and does not perform differentiated handling procedures.
3.3 Differentiated Handling

After identifying a UE as a weak reception UE, the RNC performs differentiated handling
procedures, containing differentiated power control and handovers.
Differentiated Power Control

When SPECUSER_AMR_PWRENHANCE_SWITCH is selected under
SpecUserFunctionSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910), the RNC performs differentiated power
control on a weak reception UE.
During differentiated power control, the RNC configures dedicated maximum radio link (RL)
downlink (DL) transmit power for weak reception UEs. These parameters ensure that weak
reception UEs obtain higher RL DL transmit power when CS signal quality is unfavorable.
Increasing the maximum RL DL transmit power affects the cell capacity. Therefore, when the
RNC receives a CS voice service setup request from a weak reception UE, the RNC decides
whether to configure the maximum RL DL transmit power for the weak reception UE based on
the DL Transmitted Carrier Power (TCP) in the cell.
Issue 01 (2013-04-28)

WCDMA RAN
If the TCP in the cell is smaller than or equal to the value of SpecUserPwrEnDlPwrTrigThd
(BSC6900,BSC6910), the RNC configures a high maximum RL DL transmit power based
on the SpecUserRlMaxDlPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) setting.
If the TCP in the cell is greater than the value of SpecUserPwrEnDlPwrTrigThd

(BSC6900,BSC6910), the RNC configures a normal maximum RL DL transmit power
based on the RLMaxDlPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) setting.
NOTE
Differentiated power control applies only to CS voice services carried over DCH. SpecUserRlMaxDlPwr
(BSC6900,BSC6910) takes effect only on 12.2 kbit/s adaptive multi-rate (AMR) services carried on DCHs.
For CS services at other rates or PS services carried on DCHs, the maximum RL DL transmit power is still
specified by RLMaxDlPwr.
Differentiated Handovers
When SPECUSER_AMR_HOENHANCE_SWITCH is selected
underSpecUserFunctionSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910), the RNC performs a differentiated
handover on a weak reception UE.
Weak reception UEs in the same radio environment can experience great fluctuations in signal
quality. This results in event 2D or 2F being reported frequently and also results in compressed
mode measurement, which may cause call drops.
To address this issue, the RNC configures the following dedicated parameters for weak reception
UEs to increase the difference between the thresholds for events 2D and 2F:
l
SpecUserHystFor2D(BSC6900,BSC6910)
SpecUserCSThd2DEcN0(BSC6900,BSC6910)
SpecUserCSThd2FEcN0(BSC6900,BSC6910)
SpecUserCSThd2DRSCP(BSC6900,BSC6910)
SpecUserCSThd2FRSCP(BSC6900,BSC6910)
NOTE
Events 2D and 2F are used to enable and disable the compressed mode, respectively. Event 2D indicates
that signal quality in the current cell is below a specified threshold. Event 2F indicates that signal quality
in the current cell is above a specified threshold. For details about how to set the parameters related to
events 2D and 2F, see the Handover Feature Parameter Description.

5 Impact on the Network
Impact on the Network
System Capacity
The RNC configures a high RL DL transmit power for weak reception UEs, which increases the
transmit power in the cell. When a cell has fixed DL transmit power, this feature imposes impacts
on cell capacity and HSDPA throughput. This section describes the impacts based on the
following simulations conducted by Huawei:
l
There is one HSDPA cell.
Two HSDPA UEs of category 10 are processing downlink services at the center of the cell,
and the channel quality indicator (CQI) is around 30.
UEs processing adaptive multi-rate (AMR) services are located at the cell edge (the Ec/N0
is 16 dB). The maximum RL DL transmit power remains unchanged (the same as that
configured for ordinary UEs) or increases by 3 dB (3 dB higher than that configured for
ordinary UEs).
Table 5-1 lists the simulation results.

6 Engineering Guidelines
Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use Voice Service Experience Improvement for

Weak Reception UEs
Before deploying Voice Service Experience Improvement for Weak Reception UEs, analyze
the network coverage and the causes of high call drop rate of weak reception UEs. This feature
is recommended when a UMTS network meets all of the following conditions:
l
The weak reception UE's penetration rate is above 10%.
The call drop rate of weak reception UEs is above average.
The call drops are closely related to poor UMTS network coverage.
In areas not covered by a GSM network or in areas with poor coverage, only differentiated power
control is recommended for this feature.
Currently, this feature applies only to iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.
6.2 Information to Be Collected

Before deploying this feature, the TAC information for weak reception UEs must be collected.
In addition, check whether the IMEI acquisition function is enabled on the CN. If not, this
function must be enabled on the RNC.
If this function needs to be enabled on the RNC, determine whether the CN checks the send
sequence number for messages. If the CN checks the send sequence number for messages, turn
on the switch for sending the MM NULL message on the RNC.

Meaning: 1)
AMR_HHO_FAIL_ROLLBACK_SWITCH (Hard
Handover Failure Rollback Switch for CS AMR Speech
Services) When this switch is turned on, the RNC
supports rollback caused by failed hard handovers of CS
AMR speech services. It is recommended that the timer
T312 be set to 1 second (SET UCONNMODETIMER:
T312=1;) before turning on this switch. If the timer
T312 is not set to 1 second, AMR noise will occur on
some UEs.If the AMRC feature is enabled, the RNC
supports the hard handover failure rollback of only for
12.2 kbit/s narrowband AMR services. When this
switch is turned off, the RNC does not support rollback
caused by failed hard handovers of CS AMR speech
services, leading to call drops. 2)
RRC_CONN_SETUP_OPT_SWITCH (RRC
CONNECTION SETUP Message Optimization
Switch) Whether optimization of the RRC
CONNECTION SETUP message takes effect. When
this switch is turned on, optimization of the RRC
CONNECTION SETUP message takes effect. If the IE
RLC info under SRB3 or SRB4 in the RRC
CONNECTION SETUP message contains the same
information as that under SRB2, the RNC replaces the
IE RLC info under SRB3 or SRB4 with the IE same as
RB:0x2(2) to shorten the length of the message. When
this switch is turned off, the RNC does not replace the
IE RLC info under SRB3 or SRB4 in the RRC
CONNECTION SETUP message. 3)
PS_F2D_OVERLAP_CELLUPT_SWITCH (Switch
for Simultaneous PS Service Setup F2D and Cell
Update Procedures) During the PS service setup, the
RNC undoes a CELL_FACH-to-CELL_DCH (F2D for
short) procedure when it receives a Cell Update message
with the cause value "cell reselection" during the F2D
procedure. When this switch is turned on, the RNC
temporarily does not send the
RANAP_RAB_ASSIGNMENT_RESP message to the
CN after the F2D procedure is undone and waits until
the Cell Update message is processed and the PS service
is set up successfully. When this switch is turned off,
the RNC directly responds to the CN with a
RANAP_RAB_ASSIGNMENT_RESP message with
the cause value "failure-in-the-radio-interfaceprocedure" after the F2D procedure is undone,
indicating that the PS service fails to be set up. 4)

Throughput Increase in the Case of Simultaneous uplink

and downlink Transmissions) This switch is turned on
to increase the total throughput in the uplink and
downlink only when uplink and downlink HSPA data
is transmitted simultaneously. In other scenarios, you
are advised to turn off the switch. When this switch is
turned on, the function of increasing the total throughput
in the case of simultaneous uplink and downlink
transmissions takes effect. When this switch is turned
off, the function of increasing the total throughput in the
case of simultaneous uplink and downlink
transmissions does not take effect. 5)
PHY_RECFG_REEST_SWITCH (Switch for RL
Reestablishments During the Physical Channel
Reconfiguration) When this switch is turned on, a UE
sends the RNC a Cell Update message with the cause
value "Radio Link Failure" and the RNC reestablishes
the radio link for the UE under the following conditions:
The UE has not responded to the Physical Channel
Reconfiguration message. The RNC detects interrupted
downlink transmission on SRB2 or the NodeB reports
that all radio links of the UE are out of synchronization.
When this switch is turned off, the RNC does not
reestablish the radio link for the UE under the preceding
conditions. 6) IUR_RL_REEST_SWITCH (Iur RL
Reestablishment Switch) When this switch is turned on,
the RNC deletes the existing Iur radio links for the UE
during the RNC performing radio link reestablishment.
When this switch is turned off, the RNC does not delete
the existing Iur radio links during the RNC performing
radio link reestablishment. 7)
RB_SETUP_RL_REEST_SWITCH (Switch for RL
Reestablishment or Cell Update During an RB Setup)
When this switch is turned on and the RNC is waiting
for a UE's response during a radio bearer (RB) setup

trigger conditions are met. 8)
RRC_CELLFACH_TRB_RESET_TO_F2D_SWITC
H (The CELL_FACH-to-CELL_DCH state (F2D)
transition switch by TRB reset) When the RNC receives
a TRB reset request from a UE in the CELL_FACH
state, the RNC cannot respond to the UE with a confirm
message if the FACH is congested. The
H parameter specifies whether a UE performs an F2D
transition if the number of TRB reset requests from the
UE to the RNC reaches a specified threshold. If the
switch is turned on, the UE moves from the
CELL_FACH state to the CELL_DCH state. If the
switch is turned off, the UE does not move from the
CELL_FACH state to the CELL_DCH state. This
function helps to reduce the number of call drops caused
by the RNC not responding to the TRB reset requests
during FACH congestion. 9)
SEND_MSG_NULL_SWITCH (MM NULL Message
Switch) Whether the RNC sends an MM NULL
message to the CS CN. If the switch
RNC_CS_QUERY_UE_IMEI_SWITCH under
PROCESSSWITCH2 in the SET URRCTRLSWITCH
command is turned on, testing the interworking between
the RNC and the CN is required. If the CN needs to
verify the serial number of direct transfer messages, turn
on this switch. The RNC rather than the CS CN sends
an IDENTITY REQUEST message to a UE to obtain
its IMEI. Upon receiving an IDENTITY RESPONSE
message from the UE: The RNC sends an MM NULL
message to the CS CN if this switch is turned on. The
RNC does not send an MM NULL message to the CS
CN if this switch is turned off. 10)
FD_PCH_IUR_CS_OPT_SWITCH CS paging
message processing switch for UEs in the CELL_PCH
or URA_PCH state that support fast dormancy on the
drift radio network controller (DRNC) side. When this
switch is turned on,the SRNC instructs these UEs to
transition to the CELL_DCH state and to establish CS
services when these UEs receive a CS paging message.
When this switch is turned off,the SRNC releases the
connection of these UEs when these UEs receive a CS

CELLUPT_T314_T315_TIMEOUT_OPT_SWITCH
Whether the RNC releases the connection of a UE in a
state other than CELL_DCH when the T314/T315 timer
in the cell update message received by the UE expires.
When this switch is turned on,the RNC continues with
the cell update processing when the T314/T315 timer in
the cell update message expires. When this switch is
turned off,the RNC abnormally releases the connection
of the UE when the T314/T315 timer in the cell update
message expires. 12)
CS_HHO_ASYNC_CTRL_SWITCH(Asynchronous
Reconfigure Switch for CS HHO) When this switch is
turned on, the RNC does not put the activation time
information element (IE) in the hard handover
configuration message for CS services. After receiving
the message, the UE immediately activates the
configuration. When this switch is turned off, the RNC
puts the activation time IE in the hard handover

the RNC preferentially allocates DPU resources in the
subrack that the UEs access to UEs that comply with
3GPP Release 8 or later. The RNC allocates DPU
resources in other subracks only when the amount of
consumed DPU resources in this subrack exceeds a
preset threshold for inter-subrack resource sharing. 16)
F2P_DATATRANS_OPTIMIZE_SWITCH(Switch
for Optimized Data Transmission before a State
Transition from CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH or
URA_PCH) Whether the RNC queries the RLC state
before and after a UE moves from the CELL_FACH
state to the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state due to event
4B. A UE in the CELL_FACH state can move to the
CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state even when there is
downlink data transmission for the UE. When this
occurs, data packets are suspended on the RNC side.
This switch is introduced to solve this problem. When
this switch is turned on, the RNC queries the RLC state
before a UE moves from the CELL_FACH state to the
CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state due to event 4B. If the
state query fails, the UE does not perform the state
transition. If the state query succeeds, the UE continues
with the state transition. The RNC queries the RLC state
again after the state transition is complete and before the
L2 link is deactivated. If there is SRB3, SRB4, or TRB
data to be transmitted to the UE on the RLC, the paging
procedure is triggered. When this switch is turned off,
the original state transition from CELL_FACH to
CELL_PCH or URA_PCH is used. This parameter is an
advanced parameter. To modify this parameter, contact
Huawei Customer Service Center for technical support.
17)IRATHO_HOCANCEL_RL_REEST_SWITCH
(Switch for RL Reestablishments During the inter-RAT
Handover) When this switch is turned on, the RNC
reestablishes a radio link (RL) for the UE during a interRAT Handover procedure if the RNC detects a signaling
radio bearer (SRB) reset at layer 2 (L2) or all uplink RLs
for the UE are out of synchronization upon expiration
of the RL Restore timer after the RNC sends UE a
HANDOVER FROM UTRAN COMMAND message
or a CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN
message and UE fails to receive these two messages.

overflow RNCs due to load sharing and that are in the
security mode. When this switch is turned on, the RNC
stops RLC entities (except RLC entities used by SRB2)
for such UEs. This prevents call drops that are caused
by the ciphering activation time inconsistency between
the UEs and RNC. When this switch is turned off, the
RNC suspends RLC entities (except RLC entities used
by SRB2) for such UEs. 27)
GTP_SN_IN_RAB_REL_INIT_BY_UTRAN_SWIT
CH Whether the RAB RELEASE REQUEST or IU
RELEASE COMPLETE message carries the IE GTP
PDU SN during the release procedure initiated by the
UTRAN of the PS domain. When this switch is turned
on, the RAB RELEASE REQUEST or IU RELEASE
COMPLETE message carries the IE GTP PDU SN. For
details, see 3GPP TS 25.413. When this switch is turned
off, the RAB RELEASE REQUEST or IU RELEASE
COMPLETE message does not carry the IE GTP PDU
SN. 28)CMP_IU_QOS_GTP_PDU_SN_SWITCH

Meaning: 1)
AMR_HHO_FAIL_ROLLBACK_SWITCH (Hard
Handover Failure Rollback Switch for CS AMR Speech
Services) When this switch is turned on, the RNC
supports rollback caused by failed hard handovers of CS
AMR speech services. It is recommended that the timer
T312 be set to 1 second (SET UCONNMODETIMER:
T312=1;) before turning on this switch. If the timer
T312 is not set to 1 second, AMR noise will occur on
some UEs.If the AMRC feature is enabled, the RNC
supports the hard handover failure rollback of only for
12.2 kbit/s narrowband AMR services. When this
switch is turned off, the RNC does not support rollback
caused by failed hard handovers of CS AMR speech
services, leading to call drops. 2)
RRC_CONN_SETUP_OPT_SWITCH (RRC
CONNECTION SETUP Message Optimization
Switch) Whether optimization of the RRC
CONNECTION SETUP message takes effect. When
this switch is turned on, optimization of the RRC
CONNECTION SETUP message takes effect. If the IE
RLC info under SRB3 or SRB4 in the RRC
CONNECTION SETUP message contains the same
information as that under SRB2, the RNC replaces the
IE RLC info under SRB3 or SRB4 with the IE same as
RB:0x2(2) to shorten the length of the message. When
this switch is turned off, the RNC does not replace the
IE RLC info under SRB3 or SRB4 in the RRC
CONNECTION SETUP message. 3)
PS_F2D_OVERLAP_CELLUPT_SWITCH (Switch
for Simultaneous PS Service Setup F2D and Cell
Update Procedures) During the PS service setup, the
RNC undoes a CELL_FACH-to-CELL_DCH (F2D for
short) procedure when it receives a Cell Update message
with the cause value "cell reselection" during the F2D
procedure. When this switch is turned on, the RNC
temporarily does not send the
RANAP_RAB_ASSIGNMENT_RESP message to the
CN after the F2D procedure is undone and waits until
the Cell Update message is processed and the PS service
is set up successfully. When this switch is turned off,
the RNC directly responds to the CN with a
RANAP_RAB_ASSIGNMENT_RESP message with
the cause value "failure-in-the-radio-interfaceprocedure" after the F2D procedure is undone,
indicating that the PS service fails to be set up. 4)

Throughput Increase in the Case of Simultaneous uplink

and downlink Transmissions) This switch is turned on
to increase the total throughput in the uplink and
downlink only when uplink and downlink HSPA data
is transmitted simultaneously. In other scenarios, you
are advised to turn off the switch. When this switch is
turned on, the function of increasing the total throughput
in the case of simultaneous uplink and downlink
transmissions takes effect. When this switch is turned
off, the function of increasing the total throughput in the
case of simultaneous uplink and downlink
transmissions does not take effect. 5)
PHY_RECFG_REEST_SWITCH (Switch for RL
Reestablishments During the Physical Channel
Reconfiguration) When this switch is turned on, a UE
sends the RNC a Cell Update message with the cause
value "Radio Link Failure" and the RNC reestablishes
the radio link for the UE under the following conditions:
The UE has not responded to the Physical Channel
Reconfiguration message. The RNC detects interrupted
downlink transmission on SRB2 or the NodeB reports
that all radio links of the UE are out of synchronization.
conditions. 6) IUR_RL_REEST_SWITCH (Iur RL
Reestablishment Switch) When this switch is turned on,
the RNC deletes the existing Iur radio links for the UE
during the RNC performing radio link reestablishment.
When this switch is turned off, the RNC does not delete
the existing Iur radio links during the RNC performing
radio link reestablishment. 7)

turned off and the RNC is waiting for a UE's response
during an RB setup D2D procedure, the RNC does not
perform an RL reestablishment or cell update even if the
trigger conditions are met. 8)
H (The CELL_FACH-to-CELL_DCH state (F2D)
transition switch by TRB reset) When the RNC receives
a TRB reset request from a UE in the CELL_FACH
state, the RNC cannot respond to the UE with a confirm
message if the FACH is congested. The
H parameter specifies whether a UE performs an F2D
transition if the number of TRB reset requests from the
UE to the RNC reaches a specified threshold. If the
switch is turned on, the UE moves from the
CELL_FACH state to the CELL_DCH state. If the
switch is turned off, the UE does not move from the
CELL_FACH state to the CELL_DCH state. This
function helps to reduce the number of call drops caused
by the RNC not responding to the TRB reset requests
during FACH congestion. 9)
SEND_MSG_NULL_SWITCH (MM NULL Message
Switch) Whether the RNC sends an MM NULL
message to the CS CN. If the switch
RNC_CS_QUERY_UE_IMEI_SWITCH under
PROCESSSWITCH2 in the SET URRCTRLSWITCH
command is turned on, testing the interworking between
the RNC and the CN is required. If the CN needs to
verify the serial number of direct transfer messages, turn
on this switch. The RNC rather than the CS CN sends
an IDENTITY REQUEST message to a UE to obtain
its IMEI. Upon receiving an IDENTITY RESPONSE
message from the UE: The RNC sends an MM NULL
message to the CS CN if this switch is turned on. The
RNC does not send an MM NULL message to the CS
CN if this switch is turned off. 10)
FD_PCH_IUR_CS_OPT_SWITCH CS paging
message processing switch for UEs in the CELL_PCH
or URA_PCH state that support fast dormancy on the
drift radio network controller (DRNC) side. When this
switch is turned on,the SRNC instructs these UEs to
transition to the CELL_DCH state and to establish CS
services when these UEs receive a CS paging message.
When this switch is turned off,the SRNC releases the

in the cell update message received by the UE expires.
When this switch is turned on,the RNC continues with
the cell update processing when the T314/T315 timer in
the cell update message expires. When this switch is
turned off,the RNC abnormally releases the connection

Description
URA_PCH) Whether the RNC queries the RLC state

before and after a UE moves from the CELL_FACH
state to the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state due to event
4B. A UE in the CELL_FACH state can move to the
CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state even when there is
downlink data transmission for the UE. When this
occurs, data packets are suspended on the RNC side.
This switch is introduced to solve this problem. When
this switch is turned on, the RNC queries the RLC state
before a UE moves from the CELL_FACH state to the
CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state due to event 4B. If the
state query fails, the UE does not perform the state
transition. If the state query succeeds, the UE continues
with the state transition. The RNC queries the RLC state
again after the state transition is complete and before the
L2 link is deactivated. If there is SRB3, SRB4, or TRB
data to be transmitted to the UE on the RLC, the paging
procedure is triggered. When this switch is turned off,
the original state transition from CELL_FACH to
CELL_PCH or URA_PCH is used. This parameter is an
advanced parameter. To modify this parameter, contact
Huawei Customer Service Center for technical support.
16)IRATHO_HOCANCEL_RL_REEST_SWITCH
(Switch for RL Reestablishments During the inter-RAT
Handover) When this switch is turned on, the RNC
reestablishes a radio link (RL) for the UE during a interRAT Handover procedure if the RNC detects a signaling
radio bearer (SRB) reset at layer 2 (L2) or all uplink RLs
for the UE are out of synchronization upon expiration

stops RLC entities (except RLC entities used by SRB2)
for such UEs. This prevents call drops that are caused
by the ciphering activation time inconsistency between
the UEs and RNC. When this switch is turned off, the
RNC suspends RLC entities (except RLC entities used
by SRB2) for such UEs. 26)
CH Whether the RAB RELEASE REQUEST or IU
RELEASE COMPLETE message carries the IE GTP
PDU SN during the release procedure initiated by the
UTRAN of the PS domain. When this switch is turned
on, the RAB RELEASE REQUEST or IU RELEASE
COMPLETE message carries the IE GTP PDU SN. For
off, the RAB RELEASE REQUEST or IU RELEASE
COMPLETE message does not carry the IE GTP PDU
SN. 27)CMP_IU_QOS_GTP_PDU_SN_SWITCH
Whether to allow the compatibility processing of
reordering the GTP-U DL transmission if the RAB
ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message carries the IE
Delivery Order with the value of delivery-orderrequested. When this switch is turned on, the GTP-U
DL transmission is not reordered. When this switch is
turned off, the GTP-U DL transmission uses the DL
GTP PDU SN carried by the RAB ASSIGNMENT
REQUEST message as the first SN for reordering. 28)
DL_TRB_RESET_BUFF_SWITCH Whether not to
immediately process a TRB RESET message if the
corresponding TRB resets when an RRC-related
process is in progress. Note that the RRC-related
process is a process that is initiated after the UE in
question has set up a service. When the switch is turned
on, the RNC processes the message after the RRCrelated process is complete. When the switch is turned
off, the RNC immediately processes the message,
releases the RAB of the UE, and notifies the CN that the
release is an abnormal release. 29)
ITCH Whether to trigger a CELL_FACH-toCELL_DCH state transition for a UE not performing
any RRC-related process if the RNC detects a TRB

Meaning: Threshold for the transmit power of carriers

in a cell. This threshold is considered during the setting
of the maximum transmit power for special UEs. When
the transmit power of carriers in a cell is lowered than
this threshold, the maximum transmit power of special
UEs identified by the value of "TAC" in the "ADD
UIMEITAC" command is equal to the value of
"SpecUserRlMaxDlPwr" in the "ADD
UCELLRLPWR" command if these UEs are processing
12.2 kbit/s AMR services. When the transmit power of
carriers in the cell exceeds this threshold, the maximum
transmit power of all UEs is equal to the value of
"RlMaxDlPwr" in the "ADD UCELLRLPWR"
