Load Sharing: Direct Ues To Other Carriers or GSM For Capacity Reasons

Load sharing can direct user equipment (UEs) between carriers or to GSM to manage capacity. There are two types: inter-frequency load sharing between overlapping UMTS cells based on downlink power, and directed retry to GSM for speech calls. Load sharing is triggered at connection establishment or radio access bearer setup based on source and target cell power usage and configuration parameters.

IF Load Sharing between co-located cells

 Redirections between cells with overlapping coverage, at RRC connection


setup
 Load sharing neighbors are configured using the parameter

 If a redirection is to be made, the UE will be told to scan for a suitable cell
in the frequency of the target cell

Directed retry to GSM
 At RAB establishment for speech calls
(Multi RAB calls are not subjected to GSM directed retry)
 Redirection is blind (no UE measurements), only load sharing to cells
covering the same area
 One GSM target cell can be defined for each WCDMA cell by using the
parameter directedRetryTarget

power usage:
– Inter-frequency load sharing between two UMTS carriers
– Directed retry to GSM

 IF load sharing
– At RRC connection setup
– Conditions on source and target cells

 Directed retry to GSM


– Speech only
