If only a few eNodeBs are in a TAL, Tracking Area Updates (TAUs) may occur
frequently, and MME load and UE power consumption increase. If TAUs occur
frequently, a UE cannot respond to a paging message during TAU, reducing the paging
success rate.
If number of users increases in a TAL, paging load increases in this TAL and further split
planning needed to solve paging overload.
Q: how can we decide what is the appropriate TAL Size?
During the LTE network deployment, the location area plan of the GSM and UMTS
networks can be used as a reference for TA and TAL border. That is, the LTE TAL size
and border are consistent with that of the LAs in the GSM and UMTS networks.
A TAL includes the optimum number of eNodeBs, balancing the TAU frequency and
paging load.
The TAL size is estimated based on the following parameters:
Looking in into MME and eNodeB Paging Volume, normally MME supports paging
volume 16 times more than eNodeB which lead us to a conclusion:
MME normally doesn't limit TAL size --> TAL size is limited
by eNodeB capabilities for paging
volume (pages/second).
Paging Capacity Analysis on the eNodeB:
1. PDSCH paging capacity is: (assuming 20MHz).
3. eNodeB
paging Processing CPU capacity: i.e Huawei eNodeBs CPU max capability is 750
pages/s, we should assume 70% utilization as max to allow safe buffer zone.
=750*0.7=525 pages/s.
4. The paging blocking defined by C_Blocking.
now you can correlate directly Paging reply Volume(success reply from UE) with number
of eNodeBs in one TAL.
example: if you have one TAL in your network with 300 eNodeBs in one
TAL and Total paging reply volume as 2,000,000. and your limitation on eNodeB is 525
as Huawei eNodeB.
Maximum number of allowed eNBs in one TAL is = 525*3600*300/2,000,000=283
eNBs --> this means you need to split your TAL into 2 TALs
in order to avoid any future paging discards.
you can refer to this helpful document on detail paging calculation:

note: you need to scale these numbers to your network BW, here it is for 20MHz.
Hope this Helpful :)
