 User balance
 HSDPA Balance by DRD
 Due to different frequency band in maxis, F1 ,F2,F3 is 2100Mhz , F4 is 900MHz. The
traffic for the same sector is difficult balance. Through DRD (Maxis network
LdbDRDSwitchHSDPA=ON, LDBDRDSWITCHDCH=OFF), we try to balance the HSDPA
users. If we can balance the HSDPA user, the KPI will improve for high congestion site.
The DRD based on blind handover, though the coverage is not the same due to different
frequency band, if we improve the BLINDHOQUALITYCONDITION and
DRDECN0THRESHHOLD, also we open the DRD rollback switch, the DRD successful
rate is normal.

 Traffic balance To Neighbor Cells
Through OFFSET
 IdleQoffset1sn: Meaning: Cell offset used for CPICH RSCP measurement value
in cell selection or reselection when the UE is in idle mode.
Offset of neighboring cell CPICH measurement value. This parameter is used for
RSCP measurement. The offset is subtracted from the neighboring cell
measurement value before cell
reselection. In handover algorithms, this parameter is used for moving the border
of a cell. If this parameter is set to a smaller value, the probability for selecting
the neighboring cell as the target cell increases.
IdleQoffset2sn: Meaning: Cell offset used for CPICH Ec/No measurement value in
cell selection or reselection when the UE is in idle mode.
CIOOffset: Meaning: CIO of a neighboring cell.

 Traffic balance To Neighbor Cells
Through OFFSET
Optimize the IDLEQOFFSET1SN , IDLEQOFFSET2SN or CIOOFFSET, make UE high traffic
cell UE more easy to camp or handover to neighbor cells, to decrease the load of high congesiton
cells.
IDLEQOFFSET1SN (unit 1dB), IDLEQOFFSET2SN (unit 1dB) and CIOOFFSET (unit 0.5dB)
default is 0, you can try IDLEQOFFSET1SN , IDLEQOFFSET2SN and CIOOFFSET to traffic
balance to intrafreqncell or interfreqncell cells.

 Downlink Intra-Frequency Load Balancing
 In the case of intra-frequency neighboring cells, the current cell and the intra-frequency
neighboring cells dynamically adjust their coverage based on their load. When the cell load
increases, cell coverage is decreased so that some UEs at the cell edge are handed over to
intra-frequency neighboring cells. This reduces the load of the current cell. When the cell load
decreases, cell coverage is increased to absorb some load of other cells.

 Downlink Intra-Frequency Load Balancing

 Note: For LDB solution, decrease the PCPICH power, the traffic will decrease,
and also the coverage. But most important is that we need show to Maxis that
the UE released from local cells have accessed in neighbor cells, otherwise
Maxis will not accept solution like this, just the same like improve the Qqualmin
to restrict UE to access

Activate Intra-Frequency LDB.
Parameter Setting
SET ULDCPERIOD: IntraFreqLdbPeriodTimerLen=60;
MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH: CellId=xxx,

MOD UCELLLDB: CellId=xxx, PCPICHPowerPace=2, CellOverrunThd=85,
CellUnderrunThd=50;
MOD UPCPICHPWR: CellId=xxx, MaxPCPICHPower=360, MinPCPICHPower=300;
Suggestion
This feature enables the change in DL cell load by adjusting CPICH power. For those
UEs in soft handover state, it enables the intra-frequency neighboring cells to share the
cell load by removing high load cell from the active set.
CELL LEVEL MONITORING :
When the P-CPICH power reduce, HSDPA Throughput increase

 Pre check Parameter for user balancing
• Equal the CPICH power of the different carriers of the same sector.
• Add the missing inter-freq Ncells.
• Check DC HSDPA -VS.HSDPA.RAB.DC.AttEstab
• Enable 64-QAM and DL_L2ENHANCED where it was not enabled, but have taken the licenses.
Ex:MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH:CELLID=F123,HSPAPLUSSWITCH=64QAM-1&DL_L2ENHANCED-1;
• Optimize cell reselection and offset
Ex:MOD UCELLSELRESEL:CELLID=F1,F2,F3, QUALMEAS=CPICH_ECNO, QQUALMIN=-18, QRXLEVMIN=-58,
IDLESINTERSEARCH=3,
MOD UCELLSELRESEL:CELLID=F4, QUALMEAS=CPICH_ECNO, QQUALMIN=-18, QRXLEVMIN=-58,
IDLESINTERSEARCH=6,
• Open LDR features in the cell: (MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH)
Ex:MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH:CELLID=F1,F2,f3,f4 UL_UU_LDR-1&DL_UU_LDR-1&CELL_CODE_LDR-

 DRD issue identification
 DRD, Rule
 1)DRD cells must have the same coverage
 2)coverage is related with PCPICH power, antenna tilt, same sector, same RRU.
