This feature allows to divide HS users between several HS carriers based on number of HS users on each carrier MultiCarrier, MIMO and EUL capabilities are considered in the loadsharind decision The feature is triggered when going from a non-HS configuration to an HS configuration both at RAB establishment and Channel Upswitch

Change in Parameters
It is possible to define up to 5 coverageRelations out from each utranCell The coverageRelation MO is extended with 3 on/off parameters:
hsCellSelection: indicates if the coverageRelation can be used for HS cell selection (can be set to ON in max. one coverageRelation per utranCell) hsLoadSharing: indicates If the coverageRelation can be used for HS loadsharing dchLoadSharing: indicates if coverageRelation can be used for DCH loadsharing
If conditions 1-3 are fulfilled the feature HS IF loadsharing replaces the HS cell Selection feature If conditions 1-3 are not fulfilled the feature HS IF loadsharing is not triggered and HS cell Selection may still be triggered

4. Target cell is selected from a set of appropriate candidate cells 5. If the selected target cell is different from the current cell then a Blind IFHO or a reconfiguration from FACH is performed 6. RAB Establishment or Channel Upswitch continues in target cell

Triggering Control
The HSDPA inter-frequency load sharing feature can be triggered when going from a non-HS configuration (and also from SRB on HS) to an HS configuration at either RAB establishment or Channel Upswitch The HSDPA IFLS is not triggered at RRC setup The decision on when to perform load sharing is controlled by the iflsMode Cell parameter which can have any of the following settings:
RAB_EST: Trigger at RAB establish only UPSWITCH_ATT: Trigger at upswitch attempts from URA/FACH or DCH caused by channel switching. RAB_EST_OR_UPSWITCH_ATT (Default): Trigger both a RAB establishment and at upswitch attempts.

c)
If the source cell does not remain in the list then a coverage related cell is selected regardless of the source cell load.
If a coverage related cell is they only remaining candidate then that cell is selected as target cell
no_of_HS_users (eg. 6)
RRcell
Cells with RR <=0 are excluded and If the source cell is still among the considered cells then the list is further filtered excluding coverage related cells that do not fulfill the load hysteresis condition: (RR in candidate cell) > (1 + iflsHyst/100) * (RR in current source cell) If no cell remains the connection continues in current cell. Otherwise the cell among the remaining candidates with the highest RR is selected as target cell for the new configuration

HS IFLS Considerations
If the blind IFHO attempt is blocked by admission control or fails and the UE returns to the source cell without dropping, the RAB reconfiguration that triggered the loadsharing continues in the source cell. Only one attempt to do blind IFHO is made When the UE has been redirected to the new carrier retry cases for lower rates can be triggered if blocked by admission control. These retries do not trigger any new loadsharing attempts Inter-frequency loadsharing relations should only be defined between cells that have the same coverage or from a smaller to a larger cell Loadsharing only applies to Ues in SRNC cells since cell load information cannot be read over Iur (3GPP). For Iur case HS cell selection is triggered HS Loadsharing is not performed when SRB-on-HS is setup from idle (trigger only at RAB establishment or Channel Upswitch)
