•
all cells in a list of TAs
- Tracking Area optimization is a trade-off between excessive paging load and excessive TA updates - Tracking Area optimization potential benefits •
Decrease Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) Utilization Increase se throughput resource available for end users - Increa - Reduce admission control failures for VoLTE
•
Increase Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) Availability - Improve user experience of network access and latency
•
Optimize Mobility Management Entity (MME) Paging and Tracking Update Performance - Improve the end user system availability experience

Lengthen UE Battery Life by Reducing Mobility Related Signaling

NOTE: Idle Mode Signaling Reduction increases 2G/3G/LTE paging but reduces TAU/RAU/LAU. Core feature, no support from eNB needed.
RA47058EN16AGLA0
12
Mobility and Layering Slide 14
Tracking Area Optimization – Trade-off - Paging increases in a linear fashion
as a TA is made larger. - TA Updates are inversely
proportional to the TA size. There is a diminishing improvement i mprovement in TA updates as the size increases. - The optimal size of a TA is call
model dependent. The rate at which UE move, receive DL data and enter idle mode influence the optimal size. - MME paging limitations must be
also considered! - MME paging capacity can be the limiting factor for TA size. RA47058EN16AGLA0

To minimize TAUs, Tracking Tracking Areas should f ollow user mobility mobilit y patterns These are difficult to measure from BTS counters
– –
M8015 records handover for source-target sourc e-target pairs
–
Check MME counters in case of other vendor MME
Even if these are for connected mode, they probably approximate UE mobility patterns Nokia MME give TAU statistics only at TA level level

Location Area Optimization
EPS/IMSI attach/TAU in which MME assigns LAC to - CSFB capable UE makes combined EPS/IMSI UE –
LAC assigned based on TAI-LAI-VLR mapping table in MME
- When UE moves to 2G/3G, either because of normal cell reselection or CSFB, it will make LAU if 2G/3G LAC is different from LTE LAC - Question: should we set LTE LAC to be the same as 2G or 3G LAC?
18
–
If LTE coverage is patchy, frequent LAU will occur occur when UE reselects to 2G/3G and back signaling load and “CS paging black hole”
–
CSFB call setup time could increase increase because UE must make LAU first
–
BUT: there is a danger of UE ending up being unreachable unreachable or increased paging time if LTE LAC is the same as non-LTE LAC and UE goes camping in 2G/3G (next slide)

Mobility and Layering Slide 19
Location Area Optimization, CS Paging Problem
- If CSFB UE does not make LAU when it reselects to 2G or 3G, MSS still assumes UE is in LTE and pages it first from there, and only afterwards in 2G/3G (depending on core implementation) - Solution 1: use 1: use Gs interface so that UE makes combined LAU/RAU when it reselects 2G/3G MSS will be informed by SGSN that UE is in 2G/3G, and there is no CS paging delay
2: make sure that LTE LAC is different from 2G/3G LAC (can use dummy LAC - Solution 2: make in MME) •
Also MSS pooling, if used, may require that LTE LAC and 3G LAC are different
- Discuss options with core planning team!! •
19
Also Idle Mode Signaling Reduction feature might be implemented in core (not all UEs support yet)…

LTE-capable UEs Camping in 2G/3G
- LTE-capable UEs should stay in LTE if there is coverage (and not excessive interference) - LTE uses Rel8 absolute priority based cell reselection •
In Rel8 3GLTE and 2GLTE HOs not supported
•
Hence in initial phases, idle mode mobility op timization is crucial
•
RU40 supports RRC Release with Redirect to LTE
- 3GLTE reselection use case: •
LTE layer(s) have higher priority p riority than 3G layer
•
LTE coverage area is a subarea of 3G coverage
- 2GLTE reselection use case
22
•
Rural areas of 3G operators and non-3G operators
•
LTE layer(s) have higher priority than 2G layer
•
LTE coverage area is a subarea of 2G coverage

When a layer has higher priority that the serving the measurements are mandatory. If it has less or equal priority priority than t Usually one LTE layer is for coverage and one is for hot spots Inter-frequency connected mode mobility parameters must aligned with idle mode reselection strategy. Goal in initial phase is to ensure that UE is connected to the layer with the best RSRP if layers have the same bandwidth Assuming initial initial deployment deployment with low-to-medium low-to-medium load load Load balancing features in roadmap If the layers have different bandwidths, the lower bandwidth layer should have higher RSRP to reach equivalent throughput Example: About 5-8 dB higher for 10MHz versus 20MHz … though handover thresholds could be decided based on many other criteria too he serving measurements are only started when RSRP below SNonIntrasearch

Inter-frequency HO Optimization
- HO should not be triggered to o early, an aggressive trigger point would be RSRP below -115dBm @20MHz bandwidth if there is coverage from a better neighbor layer •
Otherwise end user experience suffers
•
If interference interference present, threshold t hreshold may need to be much much higher
•
Based on field measurements, RSRP <-115dBm results in <20Mbps tput for 20MHz unloaded system. Anything above this is usually usually still ok for web browsers…
practical user tput t put benefit - Triggering HO at RSRP > -100dBm produces littl e practical
26
•
TCP and internet limit practical tput of end users
•
Speed test users are another story..

Inter-frequency HO Optimization
- A3 offset depending on target layer bandwidth •
If ta targ rget et bw bw is is sam same: e:
a3of a3 offs fset et ~3d ~3dB B
•
If target bw is half:
a3offset ~ 8dB
•
If target bw is double: a3offset ~ 0dB (or even negative??!!)
- The above rules of thumb are based on t he principle that user tput should not suffer in target layer •
The call should not drop either
•
In RL40 load balancing intra eN B, inter eNB / inter RAT in RL50 and beyond
- No point to activate IFHO in cells where there is no other layer coverage - Settings should be such that ping-pong is not possible for any pair of layers •

•The
following InterRat handover handov er failure failure use cases are monitored between LTE and UTRAN:
•Too
Late inter-RAT HO from LTE to 3G
•Too
Early inter-RAT HO with an HO failure from LTE to 3G
•
provides an automatic method, implemented in iSON Manager, for optimizing the B2 threshold2 measurement threshold which is used to trigger handover to UTRAN.
•
optimizes both the data-only B2 threshold2 as well as the VoLTE-specific B2 threshold2 for WCDMA
•
PM counters are provided by the eNB to use it as an input to the MRO algorithm.
•
MRO algorithm determines whether any threshold adjustment is needed,
•
If any adjustment is required, the MRO algorithm pushes the updated thresholds down to the eNB (via NetAct)
