Reason for change:

In order to consistently describe mobility load balancing according to the

outcome of the SON enhancements discussion, the solution description in the TR
needs to be updated.

Summary of change:

The support for Composite Available Capacity is introduced in the solution

description sub clause together with the Cell Capacity Class concept.

Consequences if

---------------------------------4.6.5 Solution description for Intra LTE load balancing
4.6.5.1

Input data, definition of Measurements or Performance data

It is proposed that load information is used for load balancing. Besides its own load, an eNB must know the load in the
neighbouring cells to be able to decide on the appropriate candidate cell for LB action. The neighbour load can be
provided with:
Intra-LTE load balancing (information exchanged over X2):

the current radio resource usage (UL / DL GBR PRB usage, UL/DL non-GBR PRB usage, UL/DL total PRB
usage), (further refinements of non-GBR load is FFS)

the current HW load indicator (UL/DL HW load: low, mid, high, overload),

the current TNL load indicator (UL/DL TNL load: low, mid, high, overload).

a composite available capacity indicator (UL / DL) PRBs) FFS.

a cell capacity class indicator (UL / DL).

Editors notes:
- It is assumed the node indicating available capacity is ready to accept the corresponding traffic, but it is not
mandatory.
- It is also assumed that the algorithm to calculate the available capacity indicator is vendor-specific and runs in
the eNB that provides the indicator.
- Following problems are FFS:
- Is the available capacity indicator reported as an absolute value or normalised in 0-100 scale (as in Rel.8)?
- Should the available capacity indicator replace Rel.8 information (PRBs allocated) or be reported together?
- Should the available capacity indicator address both GBR and non-GBR, each separately or only one of the
two?
- Should the available capacity indicator address only radio resources, or cover also TNL and hardware
resources?

4.6.5.2

Output, influenced entities and parameter

Intra-LTE load balancing:

Handover parameters : cell-specific offset

Cell reselection parameters: Qoffsets,n, Reselection priorities

The parameters related to cell reselection are defined in [4] and those related to handover in [5]

Impacted specifications and interfaces

The signalling of composite available capacity impacts the X2AP protocol and the necessary support is introduced in
the Resource Status Reporting procedures.
