1 Abstract
The UMTS networks are beginning to take shape both in China and overseas. In particular,
the fast development of broadband service has led to constant increases of the network
loads. When the load of a network reaches a certain level, there will be network resource
congestion. To ensure subscribers good high-speed access experience and keep the
competitiveness of UMTS networks, the engineers should monitor the network loads in
real time, give early alarms about the network elements (NEs) whose loads exceed the
thresholds, and take prompt measures for network optimization or capacity expansion, so
as to make the networks meet the demands of service development.
Carrier expansion comprises the following two steps: Monitor and analyze the expansion
parameters, and decide whether to expand the carrier capacity. After deciding to expand
the capacity, choose a multi-carrier expansion strategy. For details about the monitoring
and analysis of the expansion parameters, see the relevant expansion documents. And
this document mainly introduces several strategies for multi-carrier expansion.
 Different operators have different demands for the multi-carrier networking strategies.
This document only demonstrates the mainstream multi-carrier networking strategies.
 Considering the full utilization of the carrier resources and influence of the multi-carrier
networking performance, the engineers recommend using the UE free selection mode
for networking.

2 Dual-Carrier Networking Strategy

Multiple mainstream networking schemes are demonstrated in the following contents.
2.1 Dual-Carrier Strategy Summary
The mainstream dual-carrier networking strategies are summarized in the following table.

phase
 Because the UE will read the broadcast message after the PS service changes from
DCH state to FACH state in the versions earlier than RNC V 4.11, once the CELL BAR
scheme is adopted for the cell, the UE will perform inter-frequency cell reselection. This
process may lead to PS call drops. Therefore, when the field engineers construct multi-
carrier networks with Strategy 2/3/4/5, if the CELL FACH state is activated, it is prohibited
to adopt the CELL BAR scheme.
 In RNC 4.11 and later versions, in the condition of dual-carrier networking, the CELL BAR
scheme can be implemented normally.

2.2 Strategy 1
To make best use of the operator’s carrier resources, we recommend setting dual-carriers
to full service supported and letting idle UEs choose the origination carriers through free
selection.
Figure 2-1 Dual-Carrier Networking Strategy 1
2.2.1 Relevant Strategies
2.2.1.1 Residing Strategy
The idle UE performs cell selection and reselection according to the Ec/No values of the
signals.
2.2.1.2 Moving Strategy
 When the UE moves inside a multi-carrier area, it will only perform intra-frequency
handovers.
 On a border between two multi-carrier areas, when the UE moves out of the coverage
area of F2, it will perform F2-to-F1 inter-frequency handovers.
 When the UE moves in F1, only the intra-frequency handover happens. The F1-to-F2
handover (based on coverage) is not configured.

2.2.1.3 Balancing Strategy
 The idle UE performs cell selection and reselection according to the Ec/No values of the
signals.
 Both F1 and F2 cells bear CS and PS service, that is, they are both configured as CS +
R99 PS + HS PS Preferred.
 All the balance switches of F1 and F2 cells are turned off.
 The UE initiates service on the residence carrier.

2.2.2.2 Configuration of Inter-Frequency Neighbor Cells
 For co-sited and co-sector F1 and F2 cells, they should be mutually configured as
neighbor cells for reselection of idle UEs.
 For F2 border cells, the F1 cells in the same sector should be configured as their neighbor
cells for inter-frequency handovers.
2.2.2.3 Configuration of Inter-RAT Neighbor Cells
 GSM cells should be configured as inter-RAT neighbor cells of both F1 and F2 cells.
 Copy the inter-RAT GSM neighbor cells of F1 cells as those of F2 cells.

2.3 Strategy 2
If the HSPA and R99 service are mixed on a carrier, the Ec/Io fluctuation in the cell will be
caused, that is, the inhalation and exhalation effects of the cell will become obvious
gradually. To ensure the R99 users — especially the CS service users — good service
experience, the engineers can allocate one carrier to R99 for bearing, so as to avoid the
impact of HSPA service on CS service.
2.3.1 Residing Strategy
 Set cell reselection parameters to let the idle UE reside on an F1 cell.
 Do not let the UE reside on any F2 cell.

2.3.2 Moving Strategy

 Inter-frequency operations can only be F1-to-F2 operations triggered by service/load

balance
2.3.3 Balancing Strategy
 Enable service balance during the RRC and RAB connection setup procedures.
 Enable the load balancing based on the HSDPA throughput balancing switch during the
RRC and RAB connection setup procedures.
 When the UE initiates the R99 CS service, the service will be preferable set up on an F1
cell.
 When the UE initiates the R99 PS service, the service will be preferable set up on an F1
cell.
 When the UE initiates the HSPA service, the service will be shifted to an F2 cell and
accessed through service balance or UE capacity balance in the RRC connection setup
procedure.
 For concurrent CS and HSPA service (the CS service taking place first and then the
HSPA service), the HSPA service will be carried by the PS on an F1 cell.
 For concurrent HSPA and CS service (the HSPA service taking place first and then the
CS service), the CS service will be carried on an F2 cell.

In some cases, R99 service is rare and HSPA takes up a large proportion during the

engineers can set F1 to hybrid mode, considering the HSPA service, and set F2 to the

 When the UE in a single-carrier area initiates HS service and moves toward the border
of a dual-carrier area, if the local R99 cell is not configured with a co-coverage and inter-
frequency HS neighbor cell, there will be a co-frequency hard handover; if the local cell

2.6 Strategy 5
Considering the influence on the RRC and RAB setup success rates, the field engineers
may disable the services on the RRC and RAB phases and the load balancing switches
and only enable the service on the call holding phase or load balancing strategy, so as to
reach the effect that the carriers are divided by service areas or different carriers have
nearly the same load. This handling method is similar to that of the service and load
balancing based on the RAB. The applicable scenarios are listed as follows.
 Relocation for service from another RNC via the Iur interface
 Handover
 Call re-setup flow triggered by the CELL UPDATE message
 Change from non-DCH state to DCH state
