Adaptive Soft Handover Optimization in Multi-Sector
Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview

2 Overview

2.1 Background
The radio environment is complex in multi-sector scenarios. Specifically, more neighboring
cells are configured, and the soft handover areas increase, intensifying co-channel interference
and increasing call drop rates. The Adaptive Soft Handover Optimization in Multi-Sector
feature is introduced to cope with these issues.

2.2 Introduction
The Adaptive Soft Handover Optimization in Multi-Sector feature involves the following
functions:
l The intra-frequency neighboring cell priority parameters on a UMTS network can be
automatically reconfigured and optimized.
l With the intra-frequency measurement control optimization function on a UMTS
network, the major neighboring cell relationships can be automatically adjusted in the
intra-frequency measurement control signaling.
The Automatic Intra-Frequency Neighbor Relation Optimization feature is implemented on
the UE, RNC, and U2000. Table 2-1 lists the functions provided by these NEs to support the
feature.

NE Function

RNC l Implements the multi-sector soft handover performance enhancement


algorithm to reconfigure the intra-frequency neighboring cell priority
parameters and intra-frequency measurement control parameters.
l Implements the algorithm of adding detected set cells to the active set.
l Records self-organizing network (SON) logs and uploads them to the
U2000.

U2000 Records operation logs of multi-sector soft handover performance enhancement,


which are provided for users to query the implemented operations and parameter
settings.

2.3 Benefits
The Adaptive Soft Handover Optimization in Multi-Sector feature provides the following
benefits:
l Improving network performance.
In multi-sector scenarios, a large number of neighboring cells are configured, which
causes delayed handovers and oversized intra-frequency measurement control messages,
leading to SRB reset. This feature helps reduce the possibility of SRB reset and decrease
the number of call drops.
l Reducing costs in maintaining and optimizing parameters about neighbor relationships.
This feature adaptively adjusts neighboring relationship parameters, minimizing manual
operation and reducing O&M costs.

Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description

3 Technical Description

3.1 Overview
This feature is applicable to multi-sector cells. The soft handover information between the
optimal cell and the configured neighboring cell is analyzed to obtain the neighbor
relationship optimization suggestions, sequence neighboring cells, and deliver major
neighboring cell relationships in the intra-frequency measurement control signaling. The
major neighboring cell relationship in the intra-frequency measurement control report
depends on the functions of reporting detected set cells and adding detected set cells to the
active set.

3.2 Intra-Frequency Neighboring Cell Priority


Optimization
For an intra-frequency neighboring cell priority optimization task, the RNC sequences the
neighboring cells based on the number of successful handovers from the source cell to its
intra-frequency cells. A larger number of successful handovers indicates a higher priority.
Figure 3-1 shows the process of automatic optimization of intra-frequency neighboring cell
priority parameters.

NOTE

The RNC measures the number of handovers in a cell discontinuously, and therefore the feature
start time may be delayed for about 0 to 100 minutes. If the RNC internal processing capability is
limited, the RNC can only process data of some cells within an optimization period.
2. Collect the intra-frequency soft handover data between the source cell and its intra-
frequency neighboring cell, including the number of intra-frequency soft handover
attempts (VS.SHO.AttASU.NCell(BSC6900,BSC6910)) and the number of successful
soft handovers (VS.SHO.SuccASU.NCell(BSC6900,BSC6910)).
3. When the intra-frequency neighboring cell parameter optimization period (specified by
the IntraNcellParaOptPrd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter) expires, the neighboring
cells that do not meet the optimization conditions are removed.

cell The priority optimization is not
The neighboring cell is an inter-RNC performed.
neighboring cell 2: There is an Iur
interface but soft handover is not
supported, or no Iur interface is
configured.

Special scenarios are described as follows:


1. Rules for identifying split cells
Scenario 1: The source cell is a split cell.
The source cell is considered as a split cell if both conditions 1 and 2 are met:
Condition 1: The SplitInd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is not set to
No_SplitANT.
Condition 2: Four or more cells under one NodeB are served by the same
UARFCN.
For example, the UARFCN of cell A under NodeB B is 10713, and there are five
cells served by UARFCN 10713 under NodeB B. In this case, cell A is a split cell.
Scenario 2: The neighboring cell is a split cell.
The neighboring cell is considered as a split cell if the following condition is met:
The SplitInd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is not set to No_SplitANT.
NOTE

You are not advised to determine whether a neighboring cell is a split cell based on the
number of cells served by the same UARFCN, because a cell is highly likely to have many
neighboring cells. If all the neighboring cells are queried, the RNC performance will be
affected.
2. The neighboring cell is an inter-RNC neighboring cell.
There is no Iur interface: IurExistInd(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to FALSE.
There is an Iur interface but SHO is not supported:
IurExistInd(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to TRUE, and any of CS_SHO_SWITCH,
HSPA_SHO_SWITCH, and NON_HSPA_SHO_SWITCH under the
SHOTRIG(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is deselected. The neighboring cells that
do not support soft handovers are not optimized.
4. Sequence the neighboring cells.

WCDMA RAN
Adaptive Soft Handover Optimization in Multi-Sector
Feature Parameter Description 3 Technical Description

Sequence the neighboring cells of the source cell based on the number of successful
handovers. The neighboring cell with a larger number of successful handovers ranks
higher.
5. Determine the priority of the neighboring cell based on the group priority.
Determine the neighboring cell priority based on the user group priority.
Assume that four groups of neighboring cells are configured on an RNC. The detailed
value ranges are listed as follows:
[1,10]: The priority of neighboring cells ranking 1 to 10 is set to 1.
[11,20]: The priority of neighboring cells ranking 11 to 20 is set to 2.
[21,31]: The priority of neighboring cells ranking 21 to 31 is set to 3.
[32,63]: The priority of neighboring cells ranking 32 to 63 is set to 4.
Special processing 1: If the priority of only some neighboring cells is configured, the
NPrioFlag(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter for the rest neighboring cells is set to
FALSE. That is, the neighboring cells not configured with a priority have the lowest
priority.
For example, if only neighboring cells ranking 1 to 31 are configured in a priority group,
the NPrioFlag(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter for the neighboring cells with ranks
lower than 31 is set to FALSE, indicating the lowest priority.
Special processing 2: If the ranks of neighboring cells overlap in different neighboring
cells, the smaller rank prevails.
Configuration Examples:
Group 1 [1,10]: The priority of neighboring cells ranking 1 to 10 is set to 1.
Group 2 [5,15]: The priority of neighboring cells ranking 5 to 15 is set to 2.
The priority of neighboring cells ranking 5 to 10 is set to 1.
Special processing 3: If some neighboring cells that cannot be optimized are in the rank
range (see Table 3-2), the priority of these cells remains unchanged.
6. Provide optimization suggestions and deliver optimization commands.
The MML command is automatically delivered to modify the neighboring cell priority
based on the optimization suggestions.
NOTE

1. If the RNC CPU load is high when optimization suggestions are generated, specifically, the
CPU load is greater than the minimum of the three thresholds
(SMPAGERTHD(BSC6900,BSC6910), SLPAGERTHD(BSC6900,BSC6910), and
CPAGERTHD(BSC6900,BSC6910)), flow control will be triggered, and the feature will not
take effect.
2. After the feature takes effect, the manually modified priorities will be overwritten by priorities
in the optimization suggestion.

3.3 Intra-Frequency Measurement Control Optimization


When the intra-frequency measurement control optimization task is started, the RNC obtains
the major intra-frequency neighboring cell relationships based on the number of successful
handovers and delivers the relationships in the intra-frequency measurement control signaling.
For other intra-frequency neighboring cells, the handover is performed based on the functions
of reporting detected set cells and adding detected set cells to the active set.
Figure 3-2 shows the intra-frequency measurement control optimization process.

2. Collect the intra-frequency soft handover data between the source cell and its intra-

6.1 When to Use Adaptive Soft Handover Optimization in


Multi-Sector
After the sector splitting, it is good practice to enable this feature when both the following
conditions are met:
l The call drop rate of split cells needs to be decreased.
l Over 31 intra-frequency neighboring cells of these split cells exist.
If over 31 neighboring cells are configured, the system messages and measurement control
messages sent to the UE may not contain important neighboring cells. In this situation, use the
neighboring cell priority optimization function. Enable the measurement control optimization
function in scenarios where call drops occur due to the SRB reset when excess neighboring
cells are configured and the intra-frequency measurement messages are excessively large.
If the neighboring cell priority has been manually optimized in some area before this feature
is enabled, the gains may be less significant after the intra-frequency neighboring cell priority

6.4.4 Activation Observation


l Observing whether the neighboring cell optimization function takes effect:
After this function is implemented for an optimization period, users can check whether the
related SON logs contain optimization suggestions on the U2000. If there are optimization
suggestions, this function has taken effect.

NOTE

The discrete processing mechanism of this feature delays feature activation in cells. Therefore, the SON
logs of some cells is generated 0 to 100 minutes later after the actual optimization period ends.

In the SON logs, the intra-frequency priority information modified by the RNC, and
execution information and parameter settings related to the neighboring cells carried in the
intra-frequency measurement control messages are recorded.
For details about how to view SON logs, obtain iManager U2000 MBB Network Management
System Product Documentation and navigate to section "Viewing SON Logs" according to
the following path: Operation and Maintenance > RAN Management > SON
Management > SON Log Management. The following table illustrates contents of the SON

reMeasS MM WRFD- Co- to ON, the RNC sends the event 1APre measurement

2 Uplink 1APre-1A problematic areas. If the parameter is set to

Control best cell is the macro cell moves to an area near to the
Macro micro cell and its link to the micro cell has not been
& Micro added to the active set, the user causes large
Joint interference to the micro cell in the uplink. This type
Inter- of area is referred to as the macro-micro problematic
frequenc area and event 1APre is added to identify this type of
y users.Event 1APre is reported when a user moves to
Handov the macro-micro problematic area and
er "ReportIntervalfor1APre" specifies the interval of
periodic reports. Events 1A and 1APre have the same
measurement reports and their only difference lies in
measurement IDs. That is, the RNC differentiates
between event 1A and event 1APre only by the
measurement ID. When the Micro Cell Dynamic Rx
Sensitivity Control feature is enabled in the micro cell,
the event 1APre threshold is the value of
