How to resolve IRAT KPI issue in Huawei-WCDMA Network

Hi

IRAT KPI in WCDMA network is very serious problem.


we can do some parameter optimization & remove discrepancy to improve IRAT KPI, here i
want to share few such techniques to Improve IRAT KPI.

To optimize IRAT HHO KPI, basic there are 2 ways, one is the basic 2G cell information and
neighbor definition optimization, and the other is parameter optimization. In the following, I
will introduce this 2 ways detailed.

1. Basic information optimization.

a. In RNC CFGMML, the external 2G Cell information optimization.


In the live 2G network, periodic is is optimized, maybe the 2G BCCH&BASIC&LAC etc. will
changed, and not share with 3G correlative guy. So this work should be done periodic. The
2G cell information format requirement share with 3G as below:
these all failure pack in this counter VS.IRAT.HOfailoutCS.cfgunsupp.

b. 2G GPRS&EDGE KPI check


As you know, if 3G UE want to handover to 2G, firstly the core network will help get the 2G
resource for this 3G UE, if this time, the 2G cell already congested, so the 3G UE will not able
to handover to this 2G. From 3G counter,
we can get the failure counter as below:
IRATHO.FailOutPSUTRAN.PhyChFail/IRATHO.FailOutPSUTRAN.Other. This counter means the
2G signal is too low or the 2G network is not available. So at this time, we need check the
2G GPRS&EDGE KPI to confirmed, the 2G counter requirement as below

If from the above 2G KPI, the 2G PS already congested, the 2G side need do the
optimization or expansion, during this time, we can temporarily close this 2G cell’s PS IRAT
HHO function as below command to avoid the 3G handover to this 2G cell.
MOD UEXT2GCELL: GSMCellIndex=0, RatCellType=GSM;
After this 2G cell’s PS is normal, we can use below command to enable the PS IRAT HHO
function.
MOD UEXT2GCELL: GSMCellIndex=0, RatCellType=EDGE;

c. 2G Neighbor definition optimization.


Neighbor optimization is a periodic work, in 3G side, we need every 2 weeks to check the
neighbor definition is correct or not, the neighbor is defined or not. And is there any 2G
neighbor missing or not.
2. 3G TOPN worst cells optimization
To improve the IRAT HHO, we also need consider the 3G network problem, at the condition
of the good 3G situation, the improvement of IRAT HHO is possible. When we found out the
cells facing CS&PS issue, we need follow the below setp to analyze.
a. Alarm is there or not.
b. Get the CS&PS drop reason counter from M2000, from the counter we can know what is
the reason. Base on that we can do further analyze. The counter is as below shown.

Cell CS InterRAT HO Out Failure Analysis-


IRATHO.failrelocprepOutCS--check 2G capacity
IRATHO.failoutCS.cfgunsupp--check 2G configuration(LAC,RAC,NCC,BCC,BCCH)
IRATHO.failOutCS.phychfail---check congestion alarm & coverage issue in 2G that time we
chekc 2G GPRS/Edge KPI.

Cell PS InterRAT HO Failure Analysis

c. Check the NodeB packet lose rate.

d. Check the site RTWP is normal or not

e. Do the DT around the issue site, check whether there are overshooting, coverage gap,
swap, not proper tilt or azimuth, building block, antenna installation problem, neighbor
missing or not and etc

3. After the basic information optimization, if the IRAT issue still there, we need do some
parameter optimization.

a. 3G IRAT HHO Switch audit.


In 3G RNC side, we have 3 IRAT HHO switch to control this function, so we need make sure
this parameter is set correctly. As below:
SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH: HoSwitch=HO_INTER_RAT_CS_OUT_SWITCH-
1&HO_INTER_RAT_PS_OUT_SWITCH-1;
SET UHOCOMM: CoexistMeasThdChoice=COEXIST_MEAS_THD_CHOICE_INTER RAT;
SET UINTERRATHOCOV:
InterRATCSThd2DEcN0=-13, InterRATCSThd2FEcN0=-11, InterRATR99PsThd2DEcN0=-13,
InterRATHThd2DEcN0=-13, InterRATR99PsThd2FEcN0=-11, InterRATHThd2FEcN0=-11,
InterRATCSThd2DRSCP=-102, InterRATCSThd2FRSCP=-99, InterRATR99PsThd2DRSCP=-107,
InterRATHThd2DRSCP=-107, InterRATR99PsThd2FRSCP=-104, InterRATHThd2FRSCP=-104;

b. If the above “a” is no issue, so we can do the further parameter optimization.


As default, in 3G side, we consider when the 2G signal is more than -95dbm, and the 3G
signal meet the IRAT HHO condition, the IRAT HHO will happen, as you know, when the 3G
signal is bad, 2G will also not very good, and -95dbm for 2G is not a good signal, so we can
increase the 2G signal threshold and Inter-RAT HO Physical Channel Failure Penalty Timer to
make sure when 3G wanto to handover to 2G, the 2G signal is good. As blow command:
MOD UCELLINTERRATHOCOV:
CellId=0, TargetRatCsThd=26, TargetRatR99PsThd=26, TargetRatHThd=26,
PenaltyTimeForPhyChFail=60;
As experience, this command will increase PS IRAT HHO KPI around 0.7%.

For improving more the IRAT KPI, from RNC side, there are 2 parameter also can be
changed.
RelocIuRelCmdTmr: A timer to RNC wait for the Iu release command message in relocation
procedure. Protocol default value is 45s. Can be changed to 60s.
T309: T309 is started after the UE is reselected to a cell belonging to another radio access
system in connected mode, or the CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN message is received.
It is stopped after the UE is successfully connected in the new cell. The UE will continue the
connection to UTRAN upon expiry. Protocol default value is 5s. Can be changed to 8s.
So we can modify this 2 parameter as below:
SET USTATETIMER: RelocIuRelCmdTmr=60000;
SET UCONNMODETIMER: T309=8;

***I hope this information may be useful in handling such issue in your projects.
