Traffic Share Solution

Recommended solutions for Traffic Balancing
I. In case of GSM900 and DCS1800 co-location, the GSM900 has strong signal
strength but we can use the idle parameter setting and handover to control the
traffic and achieve the balanced traffic between GSM900 and DCS1800
II. In case of 2G and 3G co-location, we can use the idle parameter setting and
handover to control the traffic and achieve the balanced traffic between 2G
and 3G
a. Set proper cell selection and reselection parameters
b. Utilize proper cell layer settings and other handover parameters
c. Control idle mode MS behavior, optimize handover settings to achieve proper
traffic load sharing
d. other

Hierarchical strategy for GSM900 and GSM1800

In idle mode, the MS stay in the GSM

900 cell B by setting the cell selecting or
cell reselecting parameters.
When the DL signal level is good
enough to reach the threshold, the MS is
triggered the Layer HO to GSM 1800 cell
B.
-1 Because the moving of Ms, the
UL/DL signal level become worse. When
UL/DL RxLevel is lower than the
threshold, the MS is triggered Edge HO to
GSM 900 cell B.
-2 In oder to avoiding congestion of
GSM 1800 cell, the Load HO can be used
to share some traffic to GSM 900 cell.

Strategy for 2G/3G Interoperability
For the areas covered by both the GSM network and the UMTS
network,2G/3G interoperability can be performed to achieve traffic balance
between the GSM and UMTS.
I.Only suggest to active the cell reselection from 2G to 3G.
II.Both cell reselection and handover are suggested from 3G to 2G.
Cell reselection from 3G to 2G only when the UE leave 3G coverage.
UE will trigger cell reselection from 2G to 3G once it go back to 3G
coverage.
