Unbalance Utilization = Gap Highest Utilization and

lowest utilization > 20%

• Unbalance Utilization is a RF condition which in one sector have multi band and have big gap utilization between band
• Unbalance utilization can impact to degraded user experience due to high capacity issue which should can be load shared to other band which still low utilization
• For balancing utilization to be more effective, for each band in one sector to have same coverage footprint
• Unbalance utilization could be occurred due to mismatch parameter, different coverage footprint, or different UE band support

After MLB is enabled, eNodeBs check the load status of cells, select
L900 appropriate target cells and UEs based on the load information
layer(5MHz) Trigger MLB when user
number >15 exchanged between cells, and then transfer UEs from the heavily-loaded

cell to the lightly-loaded cell.

 Resource Balancing | UE Selection
UE Selection
Number of UEs to be transferred
After enodeb select the target cell, enodeb will select which
kind of ue will be move to other cells, the criteria will be :
Maximum number of UEs to be transferred =
1. UE is in sync state
Min(Delta_N, Ns – CellMLB.InterFreqMlbUeNumThd + 1,
2. Enodeb can select the ue based on radio quality (only if
FreqSelectStrategy = FAIRSTRATEGY) CellMLB.MlbMaxUeNum)
Ns denotes the number of UEs in the serving cell.
SnrBasedUeSelectionMode= Random SnrBasedUeSelectionMode= Best Delta_N denotes the number of UEs to be transferred to
achieve load equalization. If multiple target cells are available,

L2300=6 L2300=6
the minimum number of UEs to be transferred is applied

Dedicated Priority Management Cell Selection Strategy

When there are overlapping neighboring cells, for which the

UE will move to FDD after MLB Threshold EutranInterFreqNCell.OverlapInd parameter is set to YES, the cell is
1 an overlapping neighboring cell. Otherwise, candidate cells are
trigger and reach UeNumDiffThd
