2nd Carrier New Strategies

Nokia Siemens Networks

Strategy I: Cell Barred with 1 HSDPA Layer

(Light HSDPA Traffic)

Nokia Siemens Networks

Idle Mode Strategy

Default Settings will be applied for Idle Mode Parameter both F1 and F2.
HSDPA+R99

AMR+R99

F2: Cell Barred (Not allow to be camped in Idle Mode)

F1: Default Setting for Idle Mode

Mobile camps on F1 only in idle mode.

Whenever the mobile starts making call, the mobile will be
directed to the right layer using Enhance DRRC feature.

Pros and Cons

Pros:
Traffic Behavior is controllable.
HSDPA Codes Pre-emption is controllable.
Simple for Neighbour Definition. Just only define Adji and Adjs for F2.
(Neighbours of Existing Layer (F1 and GSM) do not need to do anything)
There will be no problem with existing ADJ having neighbour > 47.
Simple Parameter Setting for Idle Mode
Less CE Consumption

Cons:
No IFSO from F1 to F2 for a PS call when handover needed. The PS call from
F1 will hand off to GSM layer instead. ( One Way ADJI defined between F1 and
F2). This could cause 3G throughput downgraded to GPRS speed.
Less HSDPA Capacity

Strategy II: Random Access with equal service Layers

(Modulate HSDPA Traffic)

Nokia Siemens Networks

Idle Mode Strategy

Default Settings will be applied for Idle Mode Parameter both F1 and F2.
AMR+R99+HS

F2: Default Setting for Idle Mode

AMR+R99+H
S

F1: Default Setting for Idle Mode

Mobile randomly camps on either F1 or F2 in idle mode.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Better HSDPA Mobility in F1

Simple Parameter Setting for Idle Mode
Double HSDPA Capacity (2 HSDPA in both F1 and F2)
Using less feature.
Reduce DRRC and HLCC signaling between F1 and F2 Layers

Cons:
Unable to control the traffic behavior of all services. Most likely that all
traffic could be in F2 due to better RF condition.
HSDPA Codes are pre-emptioned (stolen) by AMR and PS R99 Calls. It
can make HSDPA Throughput low.
Consume more CE
Neighbour Definition is complicated. And there will be some problem
with existing ADJ having neighbour > 47.
