WCDMA RAN
2 Solution Overview
Solution Overview
2.1 Background
The UMTS SON solution is used to reduce human involvement during network operation and
maintenance (O&M), network operating costs, and operating expense (OPEX) while improving
user experience and network key performance indicators (KPIs).
2.2 Application Scenarios

The UMTS SON solution applies to all the stages of network O&M: network planning, network
deployment, network optimization, and network maintenance. This solution enables a network
to automatically adapt to its own changes in order to achieve self-management. This solution
replaces human involvement during conventional network O&M with automatic system actions,
which improves O&M efficiency and reduces costs.
Currently, the RAN16.0 SON solution mainly plans radio frequency (RF) parameters for a newly
deployed base station or newly added carriers, and optimizes RF parameters and wireless
parameters during network planning and optimization.
l
RF parameter planning
RF parameter planning includes neighboring cell and scrambling code (SC) planning.
After base station deployment or carrier addition, neighbor relationships need to be adjusted
during base station activation. If an offline tool is used for planning neighbor relationships,
neighbor relationships need to be planned once a base station is deployed or a carrier is
added, which is time-consuming. The online planning mechanism, however, automatically
plans and configures neighboring cells and SCs without operators' manual operations,
which significantly improves site deployment efficiency, simplifies related operations, and
reduces network maintenance OPEX.
RF parameter optimization
RF parameter optimization includes neighboring cell optimization and SC conflict
resolution.
Traditional RF parameter optimization requires a large number of human and material
resources, and requires personnel to have extensive network optimization experience. As
the network scale expands, it becomes more difficult to perform RF parameter optimization
Issue 01 (2015-04-20)

WCDMA RAN
2 Solution Overview
based on experience. Both operators and equipment vendors expect automatic RF

parameter optimization for minimizing operators' OPEX and improving network resource
utilization.
l
Wireless parameter optimization

Wireless parameter optimization includes capacity problem resolution and handover
problem resolution.
The modes of user equipment (UE) include idle and connected modes. Corresponding
features can optimize the parameters of each mode to improve network performance,
increase resource utilization, and improve user experience.
The UMTS SON solution is mainly used in the following scenarios:

l
Different wireless networking scenarios
Unplanned heavy traffic scenarios
Wireless Networking Scenarios

The UMTS SON solution applies to the following wireless networking scenarios:
l
Single-carrier networking: There is only one UMTS carrier within the specified coverage
area of the wireless network.
Multicarrier networking: There are at least two UMTS carriers within the specified
coverage area of the wireless network.
HetNet networking: Micro base stations (BTS3902E and BTS3803E) are introduced into
macro base station (3900 series base stations) networking to expand network capacity in
hot spots.
Unplanned Heavy Traffic Scenarios

For the definition of unplanned heavy traffic scenarios, see UMTS Big Events Solution Guide.
Unplanned heavy traffic is often caused by large events of which the carrier is unaware. Such
events may include natural disasters or large-scale parades, and hardware expansion and
parameter adjustment cannot be performed prior to the event taking place. Only product solutions
can be deployed to prevent severe network congestion and even possible network failure.
An unplanned heavy traffic scenario occurs when any of the following conditions are met for at
least 30 minutes:
l
The value of the VS.CellDCHUEs counter indicating the number of DCH UEs in a cell is
greater than 55.
The downlink non-HSPA power load factor is greater than 80%.

The downlink non-HSPA power load factor can be calculated using the following formula:
Downlink non-HSPA power load factor = 10(VS.MeanTCP.NonHS/10)/10(MaxTxPower/100)
The value of the VS.RRC.AttConnEstab.Sum counter indicating the number of RRC

connection setups in a cell is greater than 3600.
The value of the VS.AttCellUpdt counter indicating the number of cell updates is greater
than 5400.
The UMTS SON solution provides optimization methods to improve system stability and
capacity in unplanned heavy traffic scenarios.

Scenario 3: Unplanned heavy traffic
Figure 2-2 illustrates the mapping between application scenarios and SON types.
Issue 01 (2015-04-20)

WCDMA RAN
2 Solution Overview
Figure 2-2 Mapping between application scenarios and SON types
With the development of UMTS networks, the number of features and the number of parameters
increase. The relationships among parameters are complex. Traffic volume in networks
fluctuates, and therefore performance requirements vary depending on traffic scenarios. To meet
different performance requirements, parameter values need to be modified. For example, in
congestion scenarios, parameter values can be modified to relieve congestion. After congestion
is relieved, parameter values can be modified to optimize user experience.
To apply optimal parameter values to different scenarios without human involvement and to
solve the problem of slow modification of parameter values, Huawei proposed Strategy Engine
for Target Scenario.
With Strategy Engine for Target Scenario, scenarios can be automatically identified, and
parameters can be accordingly set to optimal values for the scenarios to achieve optimal network
performance.
For unplanned events, operators cannot adjust parameter settings in advance. To avoid network
accidents and improve user experience in unplanned events, operators can define a scenariobased parameter setting mechanism in Strategy Engine for Target Scenario, which will adapt
parameter settings to different scenarios.
The scenario-based parameter setting mechanism implements adaptive parameter settings. That
is, parameters are automatically set to the most appropriate values for different scenarios. Figure
2-3 illustrates the scenario-based parameter setting mechanism in Strategy Engine for Target
Scenario.

3 Solution Application Guidelines
Solution Application Guidelines
3.1 Scenario 1: Wireless Networking - Single Carrier

3.1.1 Scenario Description
Single-carrier scenarios are those in which there is only one UMTS carrier within the specified
coverage area of the wireless network. In single-carrier scenarios, there is only one layer of
coverage. All the Radio Resource Management (RRM), including intra-cell RRM (such as
access) and inter-cell RRM (such as handover and load balancing), is implemented at the same
horizontal layer.
3.1.2 Solution Purpose

The purposes of this solution are as follows:
l
To plan neighboring cells and SCs during network planning
To optimize neighbor relationships and resolve SC conflicts during network optimization
To resolve capacity and congestion problems due to traffic or interference burst
To resolve abnormal network KPIs due to combined services or faulty UEs
In addition, GSM and UMTS neighboring cell configuration or UMTS and LTE neighboring
cell configuration must be complete because GSM and UMTS networks, or UMTS and LTE
networks are generally deployed together in single-carrier scenarios.
1.
Neighboring cell and SC planning

During capacity expansion and replanning, only neighbor relationship and SC planning is
required for newly deployed base stations. In this case, the SNFD-151206 Initial Parameter
Organizing - UMTS feature is used to automatically plan and configure SCs for neighboring
cells of the newly deployed base stations, thereby improving base station deployment
efficiency.
2.
Neighboring cell optimization

The WRFD-171108 Automatic Intra-Frequency Neighbor Relation Optimization feature
resolves the following network problems:
Issue 01 (2015-04-20)

10
WCDMA RAN
l Missing configuration of intra-frequency neighboring cells in the second order

l Redundancy of intra-frequency neighboring cell
The SNFD-140205 Automatic Neighbor Relation - UMTS Intra-Frequency feature
resolves missing configuration, redundancy, or priority adjustment of intra-frequency
neighboring cells. Compared with the WRFD-171108 Automatic Intra-Frequency
Neighbor Relation Optimization feature, the SNFD-140205 Automatic Neighbor Relation
- UMTS Intra-Frequency feature matches neighboring cell names through engineering
parameter settings and can detect missing configuration of intra-frequency neighboring
cells in the second or a higher order.
Some other features resolve the following network problems:
l Missing configuration or redundancy of inter-RAT neighboring cells for UMTS-toGSM or UMTS-to-LTE handovers
l Priority adjustment of inter-RAT neighboring cells for UMTS-to-GSM handovers
These features include the following:
l SNFD-140208 Automatic Neighbor Relation - UMTS to GSM
l SNFD-140209 Automatic Neighbor Relation - UMTS to LTE FDD
l SNFD-140210 Automatic Neighbor Relation - UMTS to LTE TDD
3.
SC conflict resolution
The SNFD-140222 Scrambling Code Self-Optimization - UMTS feature resolves call drop
or cell update problems caused by SC conflicts.
4.
Capacity and congestion problem resolution

The WRFD-151201 Adaptive RACH feature resolves uplink capacity problems due to
traffic burst. For example, a large number of UEs in the same cell initiate random access
simultaneously, resulting in a high received total wideband power (RTWP) in the cell.
Overload problems such as traffic burst and tide traffic in wireless networks are prone to
cause access failures and power congestion, and therefore affect network performance and
user experience. The SNFD-140219 CCO - UMTS DL Capacity Optimization RRM Based
feature resolves these problems.
The WRFD-160214 Load-based Intelligent State Transition and WRFD-160253 Automatic
Congestion Handler features resolve network congestion problems due to traffic burst.
These features can increase the uplink and downlink network capacities and relieve network
congestion.
5.
Abnormal network KPI resolution

The CS service in CS+PS combined services has a higher probability of experiencing a call
drop than a single CS service. The WRFD-140104 Enhanced Combined Services feature
resolves this problem.
The WRFD-171107 Automatic Detection and Optimization for Abnormal Terminals
feature resolves the abnormal service setup success rate and call drop rate due to faulty
UEs.

Recovery
This feature automatically detects outage

cells and compensates for these cells
through RRM parameter adjustment.
WRFD-151201
Adaptive RACH
In unplanned heavy traffic scenarios, a large

number of UEs in the same cell initiate
random access simultaneously, resulting in
a high RTWP in the cell. Based on the uplink
power load and the number of random
access ACKs in the cell in a period of time,
the RNC dynamically selects the most
appropriate cell random access parameters
to reduce the cell's RTWP and increase
network capacity.

State Transition
This feature enables the RNC to

automatically select state transition
parameters (including the D2F timer and
event 4A threshold) based on the cell load.
In this way, if UEs in the high-load cell have
no data transmission, the RNC quickly
switches them to the CELL_FACH state in
order to increase cell capacity.

Handler

automatically identify congestion scenarios
and activate the corresponding congestion
relief functions. This reduces the customer's
O&M workload, relieves network
congestion, and enhances system stability.
Enabling this feature can relieve the
following congestion in a cell: downlink
power congestion, uplink power
congestion, and FACH congestion.
WRFD-140104
Enhanced Combined
Services
This feature enables the RNC to determine

cell congestion status based on downlink
load and available codes, and to
automatically adjust the initial rate type and
low activity rate threshold parameters of the
BE service in combined services. Therefore,
you can flexibly configure the initial rate
type and low-activity rate threshold
parameters of the BE service for different
cells or for the same cell in different
congestion states, thereby reducing the
number of admission failures due to
insufficient resources and reducing the CS
call drop rate of combined services.
WRFD-171107

Optimization for
Abnormal Terminals
This feature measures the voice service

setup success rate, data service setup
success rate, voice service drop rate, and
data service drop rate for terminals with the
same TAC on a daily basis. If the
measurement results are lower than
specified thresholds, these terminals are
considered abnormal. The measurement
results of several days provide a basis for
generating a blacklist of terminals that may
be abnormal and for putting forward
corresponding suggestions.

scenarios, it is important to consider not only the configuration and mobility strategies of the
horizontal layer (intra-frequency) for a single carrier, but also the configuration and mobility
strategies of the vertical layer (inter-frequency or inter-band) between different carriers.

Multicarrier networking is complex. In addition to neighboring cell and SC planning during
network planning, and neighboring cell optimization and SC conflict resolution during network
optimization, it is also important to consider the following in multicarrier scenarios:
l
Resolution of capacity and congestion problems due to traffic or interference burst

(including optimization of load imbalance between carriers at different layers)
Automatic optimization of mobility parameters (camping, reselection, and handover)
Resolution of abnormal network KPIs due to combined services or faulty UEs
1.
Neighboring cell and SC planning

During capacity expansion and replanning, only neighbor relationship and SC planning is
required for newly deployed base stations. In this case, the SNFD-151206 Initial Parameter
Organizing - UMTS feature is used to automatically plan and configure SCs for neighboring
cells of the newly deployed base stations, thereby improving base station deployment
efficiency.

neighboring cells.
The SNFD-140206 Automatic Neighbor Relation - UMTS Inter-Frequency feature
resolves missing configuration, redundancy, or priority adjustment of inter-frequency
neighboring cells.

A load imbalance problem may occur between the UMTS 2100 MHz and UMTS 900 MHz
networks. For example, the load on the UMTS 900 MHz network is too high and the load
Issue 01 (2015-04-20)

WCDMA RAN
on the UMTS 2100 MHz network is too low, or vice versa. To balance downlink TCP load
between high and low frequency bands, the SNFD-140211 Mobility Load Balancing UMTS Inter-Band feature is used.
A load imbalance problem may occur between the UMTS 2100 MHz and UMTS 900 MHz
networks. To improve user experience and system capacity in scenarios where load
imbalance occurs between high and low frequency bands, the WRFD-171214 Inter-Band
Load Balancing feature is used. This feature provides low frequency bands' coverage gains
during off-peak hours while ensuring capacity sharing, and attempts to avoid cells working
in low frequency bands from being in the heavy load state during peak hours.
simultaneously, resulting in a high RTWP in the cell.
Overload problems such as traffic burst and tide traffic in wireless networks are prone to
cause access failures and power congestion, and therefore affect network performance and
user experience. The SNFD-140219 CCO - UMTS DL Capacity Optimization RRM Based
feature resolves these problems.
congestion. For multicarrier networks using the "Preferred Camping" strategy, the
WRFD-151203 Camping Strategy Switch for Mass Event feature is used to change the
strategy to "Random Camping." This can balance the load between cells, relieve the
congestion on some carriers, and increase the access success rate.
The UMTS 900 MHz or UMTS 850 MHz system is vulnerable to interference from GSM
and CDMA systems as well as repeaters. As a result, the cell RTWP significantly rises and
the UMTS 900 MHz or UMTS 850 MHz cell performance deteriorates. The WRFD-171213
Self Optimization Under Uplink Interference feature resolves this problem.
5.
Handover problem resolution

If inter-frequency handover parameters are inappropriately set, inter-frequency handovers
may occur too early or too late, which will result in radio link failures. If the radio
environment changes slowly (for example, most users are walking), the handover
parameters should be less sensitive to the changes. If the radio environment changes quickly
(for example, most users are driving), the handover parameters should be more sensitive
to the changes. The SNFD-140215 Mobility Robustness Optimization - UMTS InterFrequency feature resolves this problem.

Energy saving
In multicarrier networks, UE inactivity in certain periods of time (such as nights and
holidays in commercial areas, nights in residential areas, periods of having no sporting
events in stadiums) causes light cell load, the light cell load periodically occurs, and
operators require energy be saved and emission be reduced in single-band multicarrier

Uplink Interference
This feature monitors the uplink RTWP of

a cell in real time and identifies scenarios in
which uplink interference occurs. If uplink
interference occurs in a cell, this feature
automatically activates related function
algorithms or reconfigures related
parameters on a live network to improve
system capacity and network performance
for the cell. The automatic parameter
reconfiguration includes adaptively
adjusting the cell camping threshold
parameters, enabling the inter-frequency
handover algorithm considering the target
RTWP, adaptively controlling algorithm
switches and parameters for automatic
update of background noise, and adaptively
reconfiguring compressed mode
parameters.
WRFD-171214
Inter-Band Load
Balancing
This feature periodically monitors the

average downlink load of high- and lowband cells. By adjusting parameters for
high- and low-band cells that have load
differences, this feature enables UEs to
travel to low-load cells through preferred
camping, redirection, and directed retry
decision (DRD). This implements downlink
load balancing between high- and low-band
cells. This feature provides low frequency
bands' coverage gains during off-peak hours
while ensuring capacity sharing, and
attempts to avoid cells working in low
frequency bands from being in the heavy
load state during peak hours. Therefore, this
feature improves user experience and
system capacity in scenarios where load
imbalance occurs between high and low
frequency bands.
When the UMTS SON solution is used in multicarrier scenarios, all the features in Table 3-1
can be enabled.

In addition to neighboring cell optimization, SC conflict resolution, and load imbalance
resolution between macro and micro base stations during network optimization, it is also
important to consider the resolution of capacity and congestion problems due to traffic burst in
HetNet scenarios. Furthermore, it is important to focus on the interaction between macro and
micro base stations so that the introduction of micro base stations into the network does not
affect the original network KPIs while expanding network capacity and improving user
