Paging Dimensioning
There are 5 TMSI per TTI (10 ms), with assume that
concurrent user for paging is maximum 5, that means
only have 5 kanal in one time that can be use
simultanesly.
So, with erlang Table5 channel GoS 1% is around 1,36
Erlang, maksimum occupancy = 1.36 / 5 = 27.22 %
For hurly, that meant if occupancy can reach 100%, the
attempt is 3600 s *5 TMSI / 10 ms = 3600*5*1000/10
= 1.800.000 per hour
27.22% * 1.800.000 is 500.000 paging per hour

The LAC split should be consider if the paging congestion greater than
1% or paging attempt greater than 500k/hour

Why Paging Utilization<100% but with Paging Congestion?

Paging Channel Specification
PCH channel support maximum paging 5 user with 1 TTI(Transmission Time Interval, 1TTI=10ms)

Maximum
Paging 5 UE
per TTI

Paging Discard

Statistic
Period
Because the paging attempt is not stable within the statistic period, some times is higher, some times is
lower, so we will face the paging congestion while the PCH Utilization<100% .

Radio Access Network Quality

How big the PCH utilization will trigger paging congestion

Base on the Erlang B Table, if the Number of Channel is 5, and the GOS is 1%, it can bear 1.361 Erl
traffic, in other words, the utilization is 27.22% (=1.361/5) while the GOS=1%
The PCH channel can support paging 5 user within 1 TTI,
We can assume the Number of Channel of 5, base on Erlang B table, when the the utilization just
27.22%, GOS/Congestion Rate=1%.
Base on Erlang B table, the utilization=27.22% will trigger 1% congestion.

RNC_Bogor

RNC Simatupang_2 MaccPageRepeatTimes=1, it means RNC will retransmission 1 time paging in RNC level, other RNC all setting is 0
RNC will just increase the counter (VS.RRC.Paging1.Loss.PCHCong.Cell ) if the
both 1st and 2nd time paging discard due to PCH Channel congested.
It result RNC Simatupang2 congestion rate lower than other RNC.
Suggest to chagne RNC Simatupang_2 MaccPageRepeatTimes=0 to relief the
PCH congestion

Formula
1. Paging Attempt LAC-RAC=Max (VS.UTRAN.AttPaging1 in all cell LAC-RAC )
2. Paging Rejection LAC-RAC = max (VS.RRC.Paging1.Loss.PCHCong.Cel/
VS.UTRAN.AttPaging1) for each cell in LAC-RAC in same time
3. Paging PS Portion = (RRC.SuccConnEstab.TmBkgCall+
RRC.SuccConnEstab.TmItrCall)/(RRC.SuccConnEstab.TmBkgCall+RRC.SuccConnE

When we do RAC or LAC Splitting

1. For Single LAC Case in RNC
a. When Paging Attempt LAC-RAC > 500 K & Paging Congestion >= 1 %
b. When VS.RANAP.CsPaging.Att > 300 K -> LAC SPLITTING
c. Others -> RAC SPLITTING
1. For Multiple RAC LAC Case in RNC
a. When Paging Attempt LAC-RAC > 500 K & Paging Congestion >= 1 %
b. when Paging PS Portion in LAC-RAC < 40% -> LAC Splitting
c. Others -> RAC Splitting
