2 Overview of Co-RRM
Through cell load information sharing, Co-RRM can fully use the advantages of both GSM and
UMTS. With the Co-RRM feature, radio resources of GSM and UMTS can be managed
collectively and efficiently.
NOTE:
Before reading this document, you need to learn the handover mechanisms for GSM and UMTS, and the GSM and
UMTS interoperability. You are advised to read the Handover Feature Parameter Description of the GSM BSS and
WCDMA RAN, and the Interoperability Between GSM and WCDMA Feature Parameter Description of the GSM
BSS.
2.1 Introduction
The Co-RRM feature utilizes information exchange between GSM and UMTS over the Iur-g
interface to support the following functions and mechanisms:
• Cell Load Information Sharing
• Handover Based on Load Enhancement
• Service Distribution
• Load Balancing
• NACC Procedure Optimization
Through the internal information exchange, the load information of GSM and UMTS cells can
be shared, and the procedure of Network Assisted Cell Change (NACC) can be optimized.
Handover based on load enhancement, service distribution, and load balancing are based on the
traffic load of GSM/UMTS cells and the characteristics of each network. The main difference
between the three functions is the requirements for candidate cells during inter-RAT handovers.
The following sections provide the detailed description for each function.
The MBSC is a GSM+UMTS multimode base station controller (MBSC) of Huawei. It
implements the functions of both UMTS RNC and GSM BSC, as shown in Figure 2-1. In this
document, the base station controller is referred to as BSC regarding GSM functions and as RNC
regarding UMTS functions.
Figure 2-1 MBSC in Co-RRM
2.2 Purposes
In Co-RRM, several GSM/UMTS interoperability functions are optimized in the MBSC to

achieve better network convergence and enhance network throughput.
The Co-RRM feature provides the following advantages:
• Load information of the neighboring GSM and UMTS cells can be shared, which enhances
the load control capability between GSM and UMTS.
• The accuracy of the load information for handover decision between GSM and UMTS is
enhanced, reducing the risk of ping-pong effect.
• Service load can be distributed based on the conditions in the GSM and UMTS networks
through RRC redirection and service-based inter-RAT handovers. This enables the GSM
network to handle voice services and the UMTS network to handle high-speed PS services
• Service load can be distributed based on the service attributes and the conditions in the
GSM and UMTS networks through RRC redirection and load-based inter-RAT handovers.
In this way, the load on the two networks in the same coverage area is increased evenly so
the risk of network congestion due to load imbalance is reduced and the total network
capacity is enhanced.
• The CN does not need to be involved in the GSM/UMTS PS NACC procedure under one
MBSC. In this way, the execution time for the NACC procedure is shortened and the PS
service handover delay is reduced. In addition, an NACC solution is also provided when the
CN does not support the RAN information management (RIM) procedure.
3 Cell Load Information Sharing
The load information sharing between GSM and UMTS cells is achieved through a common
measurement procedure in internal information exchange. This involves a procedure through
which the BSC obtains the load information of neighboring UMTS cells and a procedure through
which the RNC obtains the load information of neighboring GSM cells.
Through load information sharing, the load information of the cells of different systems can be
obtained, avoiding unnecessary handover attempts.
3.1 Common Measurement Procedure
The basic procedure behind the cell load information sharing is an MBSC internal information
exchange mechanism, where the BSC side of the MBSC sends a COMMON
MEASUREMENT INITIATION REQUEST message to the RNC side and vice versa to
initiate the common measurement procedure, requesting the target RNC/BSC to report the load
information of its neighboring cells. If the target RNC/BSC supports the common measurement,
it responds with a COMMON MEASUREMENT INITIATION RESPOSE message;
otherwise, it responds with a COMMON MEASUREMENT INITIATION FAILURE
message.
After a successful common measurement initialization, the target RNC/BSC sends the
COMMON MEASUREMENT REPORT message to the source BSC/RNC periodically to
report its load information. If the measurement fails to be further performed, for example, when
the cell is faulty, blocked, deleted, or deactivated, the common measurement is stopped. In this
case, the target RNC/BSC sends a COMMON MEASUREMENT FAILURE INDICATION
message to the source BSC/RNC.
If the BSC sends a COMMON MEASUREMENT INITIATION REQUEST message to the
interconnected RNC over the Iur-g interface, the RNC supports a maximum of 3000 UMTS
cells.
Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2, Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4 show the common measurement procedure.
Figure 3-1 Successful common measurement initialization
Figure 3-2 Failed common measurement initialization
Figure 3-3 Common measurement reporting procedure
Figure 3-4 Failed common measurement
3.2 Cell Load Information
During the common measurement procedure, load information related to GSM and UMTS cells
is shared between the BSC and RNC sides of the MBSC. In addition, the GSM cell sends the
information whether it supports inter-RAT handovers.
There are three load states: normal, basic congestion, and overload congestion.
In the uplink:
• An uplink load lower than the GSM uplink basic congestion threshold (UlLdrThrd2GCell)
represents the normal state.
• An uplink load above the GSM uplink basic congestion threshold (UlLdrThrd2GCell) but
below the GSM uplink overload congestion threshold (UlOlcThrd2GCell) represents the
basic congestion state.
• An uplink load above the GSM uplink overload congestion threshold (UlOlcThrd2GCell)
represents the overload congestion state.
In the downlink:
• A downlink load below the GSM downlink basic congestion threshold
(DlLdrThrd2GCell) represents the normal state.
• A downlink load above the GSM downlink basic congestion threshold
(DlLdrThrd2GCell) but lower than the GSM downlink overload congestion threshold
(DlOlcThrd2GCell) represents the basic congestion state.
• A downlink load above the GSM downlink overload congestion threshold
(DlOlcThrd2GCell) represents the overload congestion state.
The BSC side of the MBSC sends the inter-RAT handover support information to indicate
whether the CS/PS services can be handed over from a UMTS cell to a GSM cell. The inter-RAT
handover support information includes the inter-RAT CS service handover support flag and the
inter-RAT PS service handover support flag.
• If the inter-RAT CS service handover support flag is enabled, the corresponding GSM cell
can be the target cell of the inter-RAT CS service handover from a UMTS cell. Use the
following method to determine whether the inter-RAT CS service handover support flag is
enabled: If inter-RAT handovers to GSM cells are allowed, compare the cell TCH usage
with InterRatCsServiceLoadHoThrd.
▪ If the cell TCH usage is less than or equal to the value of this parameter, the inter-RAT
CS service handover support flag is enabled.
▪ If the cell TCH usage is greater than the value of this parameter, the inter-RAT CS
service handover support flag is disabled.
• If the inter-RAT PS service handover support flag is enabled, the corresponding GSM cell
can be the target cell of the inter-RAT PS service handover from a UMTS cell.
4 Handover Based on Load Enhancement
The handover based on load enhancement function corresponds to the feature MRFD-211404
MBSC Handover based on Load Enhancement.
When the Co-RRM feature is used, the MBSC can select the target cell according to the traffic
load in the cell before initiating an inter-RAT handover, reducing the number of ping-pong
handovers between GSM and UMTS and enhancing network usage.
4.1 UMTS Handover Based on Load Enhancement
The UMTS handover based on load enhancement function corresponds to the feature WRFD-
070004 Load Based GSM and UMTS Handover Enhancement Based on Iur-g.
Through the internal load information sharing mechanism, the load-based inter-RAT handover is
enhanced in the UMTS.
• In the load-based inter-RAT handover, the UMTS selects the target GSM cell according to
the load on the neighboring GSM cell and the load difference between the UMTS cell and
the neighboring GSM cell.
• In the inter-RAT handover based on hierarchical cell structure, the UMTS selects the target
GSM cell depending on the load on the neighboring cells.
The following paragraphs provide further descriptions of the two handover modes.
4.1.1 Load-Based Inter-RAT Handover Enhancement
When the indication of non-coverage-based handover based on GSM load

(MBSCNcovHoOn2GldInd(BSC6900,BSC6910)) and the indication of load-based handover
based on the load difference between UMTS and GSM
(LoadHoOn3G2GldInd(BSC6900,BSC6910)) are set to ON, the load-based handover to the
GSM cell is triggered when the traffic load on the UMTS cell is heavy. The RNC performs
handover decision based on the load on the neighboring GSM cell and the load difference
between the UMTS cell and the neighboring GSM cell.
For the CS service, a GSM candidate cell must meet the following conditions:
• The cell supports the inter-RAT handover for CS services.
• The load on the cell is lower than the CS outgoing inter-RAT handover GSM load threshold
(CSHOOut2GloadThd(BSC6900,BSC6910)).
• The load of UMTS source cell minus the load of the cell is higher than the threshold of CS
load difference between UMTS and GSM
(Mbsc3G2GLdBlcCsDeltaThrd(BSC6900,BSC6910)).
For the PS service, a GSM candidate cell must meet the following conditions:
• The cell supports the inter-RAT handover for PS services.
• The load on the cell is lower than the PS outgoing inter-RAT handover GSM load threshold
(PSHOOut2GloadThd(BSC6900,BSC6910)).
• The load of UMTS source cell minus the load of the cell is higher than the threshold of PS
(Mbsc3G2GLdBlcPsDeltaThrd(BSC6900,BSC6910)).
The RNC initiates the handover to the best GSM candidate cell.
4.1.2 Inter-RAT Handover based on Hierarchical Cell Structure Enhancement
When the indication of non-coverage-based handover based on GSM load

(MBSCNcovHoOn2GldInd(BSC6900,BSC6910)) is set to ON, the handover to the GSM cell is
triggered when the traffic load on the UMTS cell is high. The RNC performs the handover
decision depending on the load on the neighboring GSM cell.
For the CS service, a GSM candidate cell must meet the following conditions:
• The load on the cell is lower than the CS outgoing inter-RAT handover GSM load threshold
(CSHOOut2GloadThd(BSC6910,BSC6900)).
For the PS service, a GSM candidate cell must meet the following conditions:
• The cell supports the inter-RAT handover for PS services.
• The load on the cell is lower than the PS outgoing inter-RAT handover GSM load threshold
(PSHOOut2GloadThd(BSC6900,BSC6910)).
4.2 GSM Handover Based on Load Enhancement
The GSM handover based on load enhancement function corresponds to the feature GBFD-
511101 Load Based Handover Enhancement on Iur-g.
When the inter-RAT load handover switch (OutSysLoadHoEn) is set to ON, the load-based
handover from GSM to UMTS is triggered if the load on the GSM cell reaches load handover
threshold and the Service Handover attribute of the current service is not "handover to UTRAN
or cdma2000 shall not be performed".
The candidate neighboring UMTS cell must meet the following conditions:
• The value of (G2GLoadAdjustCoeff x Current load of the GSM serving cell – 10 x Load
of the neighboring UMTS cell) is greater than or equal to the value of (10 x
G2G3GldBlcDeltaThrd – 1000).
• If the neighboring UMTS cell is an FDD cell and FDDREP is set to RSCP(RSCP), this
cell must meet the following conditions:
▪ InterRATLoadHoRSCPStart - A < CPICH RSCP <
InterRATLoadHoRSCPStart
▪ CPICH RSCP > IntRATLoadHORSCPThr
In the preceding formula, A is the load handover bandwidth. A = (1 +
T/IntRATLoadHoPeriod) x InterRATLoadHoRSCPStep
▪ T is the load handover timer and this timer is started when the load of the serving cell
is greater than the value of the TRIGTHRES parameter.
▪ The maximum value of A cannot exceed the value of the
InterRATLoadHoRSCPBandWidth parameter.
• If the neighboring UMTS cell is an FDD cell and FDDREP is set to Ec/N0(Ec/N0), this
cell must meet the following conditions:
▪ InterRATLoadHoEcNoStart – A < CPICH Ec/No <
InterRATLoadHoEcNoStart
▪ CPICH Ec/No > IntRATLoadHOEcNoThr
In the preceding formula, A is the load handover bandwidth. A = (1 +
T/IntRATLoadHoPeriod) x InterRATLoadHoEcNoStep
▪ T is the load handover timer and this timer is started when the load of the serving cell
is greater than the value of the TRIGTHRES parameter.
▪ The maximum value of A cannot exceed the value of the
InterRATLoadHoEcNoBandWidth parameter.
After the preceding selection, unqualified neighboring UMTS cells are removed from the
candidate cell list. If the generated candidate cell list is not null, the BSC initiates the handover
to the optimal candidate UMTS cell.
5 Service Distribution
The service distribution function corresponds to the feature MRFD-211403 MBSC Service
Distribution.
The GSM and UMTS networks have different characteristics and capabilities with respect to
services that can be provided. The GSM network carries CS services and low-rate data services.
The UMTS network is characterized by high data rates and large capacity, which ensures high
data rates and short delay of data services; however, when high CS traffic load runs on the
UMTS network, delay is extended for CS services. Therefore, comparing with a UMTS network
running only data services, system throughput is reduced considerably. To optimize the
utilization of resources in the GSM and UMTS networks, service distribution is introduced.
The inter-RAT service distribution is performed in two directions: UMTS to GSM (controlled by
the RNC) and GSM to UMTS (controlled by the BSC). As a result of load-based system
redirection and handover, the CS services will be handled mainly by the GSM network whereas
the high-rate data services will be handled mainly by the UMTS network.
5.1 UMTS-to-GSM Service Distribution
The UMTS-to-GSM service distribution function corresponds to the feature WRFD-070007

GSM and UMTS Traffic Steering Based on Iur-g.
In UMTS-to-GSM service distribution, the users in the UMTS network are handed over to a
GSM target cell that is not congested. The UMTS-to-GSM service distribution can be performed
in either of the following phases:
• CS service distribution during RRC setup: During the RRC setup, the CS AMR services are
redirected to the GSM cell.
• Service distribution after RAB setup: After the RAB is set up, the CS or PS services are
handed over to the GSM cell.
5.1.1 CS Service Distribution During RRC Setup
If the CS service is initiated during the RRC setup stage and the service distribution and load
balancing algorithm switch (MBSCServiceDiffLdbSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910)) is set to
SERVICE-BASED, the service distribution is performed as shown in Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-1 UMTS-to-GSM service distribution during the RRC setup
When the RRC is redirected, a GSM candidate cell must meet the following conditions:
• The GSM cell is in operation.
• The uplink and downlink load of the cell is in normal state.
The RNC initiates the redirection to the best GSM candidate cell. If no cell is suitable among the
neighboring GSM cells, the UE accesses the UMTS cell.
5.1.2 Service Distribution After RAB Setup
After RAB setup, if the service distribution and load balancing algorithm switch
(MBSCServiceDiffLdbSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910)) is set to SERVICE-BASED and the
Service Handover attribute carried in the assignment request from the MSC is "Handover to
GSM should be performed", the service distribution is performed as shown in Figure 5-2.
Figure 5-2 UMTS-to-GSM service distribution after RAB setup
For single CS/PS services, the RNC selects cells that meet the following conditions from the
neighboring cells, and then sends the measurement control to the UEs so that the UEs perform
the 3C event measurement to those cells.
• The cell supports the inter-RAT handover for CS and PS services.
• The uplink and downlink load of the cell is in normal state.
If any cell meets the 3C event reporting conditions, the UE reports the 3C event to the RNC, and
then this cell is taken as a candidate cell. If there are multiple candidate cells, the RNC initiates
the handover to the best GSM candidate cell. If no qualified cell is available among the
neighboring GSM cells, the UE is retained in the UMTS cell.
5.2 GSM-to-UMTS Service Distribution
The GSM-to-UMTS service distribution function corresponds to the feature GBFD-511104 GSM
and UMTS Traffic Steering Based on Iur-g.
• If the inter-RAT load handover switch (InterRatServiceLoadHoSwitch) is set to Cn
Service-based and the Service Handover attribute carried in the assignment request from
the MSC is "handover to UTRAN or cdma2000 should be performed", the BSC imitates the
directed retry to the UMTS.
• If the inter-RAT load handover switch (InterRatServiceLoadHoSwitch) is set to
Service-based and the Service UTRAN CCO attribute of PS UEs is not "Network initiated
cell change order to UTRAN or PS handover to UTRAN procedure shall not be performed",
PS UEs can be handed over to UMTS cells through PS handovers or cell reselections. The
PS handover is preferentially performed. Before selecting the target UMTS cell for a
handover or cell reselection, this feature obtains the load status of all neighboring UMTS
cells and removes the cells in the basic congestion or overload congestion state from the
candidate list.
6 Load Balancing
The load balancing function corresponds to the feature MRFD-211402 MBSC Load Balancing.
In the case of GSM/UMTS co-existence, the traffic load on the two networks is different. For
better utilization of resources in the GSM and UMTS networks, load balancing is introduced to
balance the load between the GSM and UMTS networks, avoiding the situation where one
system is overloaded whereas the other one is only lightly loaded.
The MBSC enables the redirection and handover between the GSM and UMTS systems based on
the load condition and difference in each network. In this way, the two networks in the same
coverage area can have similar load, reducing the risk of access congestion.
6.1 UMTS Load Balancing
The UMTS load balancing function corresponds to the feature WRFD-070006 GSM and UMTS
Load Balancing Based on Iur-g.
With UMTS load balancing, the CS AMR services and the low-rate PS services are handed over
from a UMTS cell to a GSM cell when the GSM cell load is in normal state. The UMTS load
balancing can be performed in either of the following phases:
• Load balancing during RRC setup: During the setup of the RRC connection, the CS AMR
services are redirected to the GSM cell.
• Load balancing after RAB setup: After the RAB is set up, the single CS or PS services are
handed over to the GSM cell.
Generally, actual traffic load is used during UMTS load balancing. If the load reporting function
is not enabled, equivalent number of users (ENU) is used during UMTS load balancing.
6.1.1 Load Balancing During RRC Setup
If the CS AMR service is initiated during the RRC setup stage and the service distribution and
load balancing algorithm switch (MBSCServiceDiffLdbSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910)) is set to
LOAD-BASED, the service distribution is performed as shown in Figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1 UMTS load balancing during RRC setup
The RNC selects the neighboring GSM cells that meet the following conditions as candidate
cells:
• The uplink and downlink load in the GSM cell is not in overload congestion state.
• The load of UMTS source cell minus the load of the cell is higher than the threshold of CS
(Mbsc3G2GLdBlcCsDeltaThrd(BSC6900,BSC6910)).
The RNC initiates the redirection to the best GSM candidate cell. If no cell is suitable among the
neighboring GSM cells, the UE accesses the UMTS cell.
6.1.2 Load Balancing After RAB Setup
If the service distribution and load balancing algorithm switch

(MBSCServiceDiffLdbSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910)) is set to LOAD-BASED and the Service
Handover attribute carried in the assignment request from the MSC is "Handover to GSM should
be performed", load balancing is performed.
Figure 6-2 UMTS load balancing after RAB setup
The RNC selects the cells that meet the following conditions from the neighboring cells, and
then sends the measurement control to the UEs so that the UEs perform the 3C event
measurement to those cells.
• The uplink and downlink load in the GSM cell is not in overload congestion state.
• For the CS service, the GSM cell supports incoming inter-RAT handover for CS services
and the load of UMTS source cell minus the load of the GSM cell is greater than or equal to
the threshold of CS load difference between UMTS and GSM
(Mbsc3G2GLdBlcCsDeltaThrd(BSC6900,BSC6910)). For the PS service, the GSM cell
supports incoming inter-RAT handover for PS services and the load of UMTS source cell
minus the load of the GSM cell is greater than or equal to the threshold of PS load
difference between UMTS and GSM
(Mbsc3G2GLdBlcPsDeltaThrd(BSC6900,BSC6910)).
If any cell meets the 3C event reporting conditions, the UE reports the 3C event to the RNC, and
then this cell is taken as a candidate cell. If there are multiple candidate cells, the RNC initiates
the handover to the best GSM candidate cell. If no qualified cell is available among the
neighboring GSM cells, the UE is retained in the UMTS cell.
6.2 GSM Load Balancing
The GSM load balancing function corresponds to the feature GBFD-511103 GSM and UMTS
Load Balancing Based on Iur-g.
Load balancing can be enabled by setting the inter-RAT load handover switch
(InterRatServiceLoadHoSwitch) to Load-based. Based on the load in the target UMTS
cells, the UEs in the GSM network are handed over to the UMTS cells. During the call setup, the
GSM-to-UMTS load balancing is performed through directed retry, as shown in Figure 6-3.
Figure 6-3 GSM load balancing
The BSC performs load balancing when the Service Handover attribute carried in the channel
assignment request from the MSC is "handover to UTRAN or cdma2000 should be performed"
and the uplink load and the downlink load on the GSM cell that carry the service is not in normal
state. The BSC selects the UMTS neighboring cells that meet the following conditions as the
candidate cells:
• The UMTS cell is in operation.
• The uplink load and downlink load in the UMTS cell is not in overload congestion state.
• The load of GSM source cell minus the load of the cell is higher than the threshold of CS
load difference between UMTS and GSM (G2G3GLdBlcDeltaThrd).
The BSC initiates the redirection to the best UMTS candidate cell. If no cell is suitable among
the neighboring UMTS cells, the UE accesses the GSM cell.
If the inter-RAT load handover switch (InterRatServiceLoadHoSwitch) is set to Dynamic
Service/Load-based and the serving cell is in load congestion (the cell uplink load is less than
UlLdrThrd2GCell and the cell downlink load is less than DlLdrThrd2GCell), the BSC selects
a suitable cell according to the preceding procedure for the UE to access.
7 NACC Procedure Optimization
The NACC procedure optimization function corresponds to the feature MRFD-211401 NACC
Procedure Optimization, and the feature WRFD-070005 NACC Procedure Optimization Based
on Iur-g between GSM and UMTS.
To perform NACC in the PS domain, the UMTS cell needs to obtain the system information
related to the GSM cell. If the UMTS cell and the GSM cell are operated by the same MBSC,
system information related to the GSM cell can be obtained through internal information transfer
rather than through the core network. This reduces the signaling load on the SGSN and makes
the cell reselection operation faster.
In a common NACC procedure, when the RNC needs to obtain the system information related to
a GSM cell, it sends a RAN INFORMATION REQUEST message to the SGSN. The SGSN
then identifies the BSC that serves the target GSM cell, and then forwards the message to this
target BSC. The response message, RAN INFORMATION, from the BSC is sent to the RNC
through the SGSN. The signaling procedure is illustrated in Figure 7-1.
Figure 7-1 Normal NACC procedure
In the optimized NACC procedure, the SGSN is not involved. If the UMTS cell and the target
GSM cell are operated by the same MBSC, the RNC sends the INFORMATION EXCHANGE
INITIATION REQUEST message to the BSC through an internal message. In addition, the
BSC sends the response message through the internal message. The signaling procedure is
illustrated in Figure 7-2.
Figure 7-2 Optimized NACC procedure
When using this optimized NACC procedure, provided by the Co-RRM feature, the SGSN is not
involved in the NACC procedure, so the execution time for the NACC procedure is reduced. In
addition, the signaling load on the SGSN is reduced.

10.2.3 Verification
If the verification achieves the following results as expected, the configuration succeeds.
Otherwise, the configuration fails.
3G-to-2G Load Based Handover Enhancement
NOTE:
The verification can be done when only the UMTS cell is in the basic congestion state.
Use a dual-mode MS to call a fixed-line phone in the UMTS cell and then start an Iu interface
tracing task on the LMT. The RANAP_RELOCATION_REQUIRED message is reported.
• If the CN version is R4 or earlier, the handover reason contained in this message is
"resource optimization".
• If the CN version is later than R4, the handover reason contained in this message is "reduce-
load-in-serving-cell".
NOTE:
After the verification, set the value of system to the value before the verification.
2G-to-3G Load Based Handover Enhancement
1. Use an MS to initiate a call in the GSM cell, and the call is successfully established.
2. When the GSM cell is in the basic congestion state, the MS is handed over to a 3G
neighbor cell. Trace signaling on the A interface. Check that Assignment Request,
Handover Required, and Handover Command messages are reported and cause in the
Handover Required message is reduce-load-in-serving-cell.
10.2.4 Deactivation
Run the RNC MML command SET UMBSCCRRM to deactivate MBSC Handover based on
Load Enhancement on the UMTS side. In this step, set Non-coverage handover based on 2G
load Indication to OFF(OFF) and Load-base handover based on 3G2G load difference
Indication to OFF(OFF).
Run the BSC MML command SET GCELLHOINTERRATLDB to deactivate MBSC

10.3.3 Verification
3G-to-2G Traffic Steering
NOTE:
Use a dual-mode MS to call a fixed telephone in the UMTS cell. Initiate Iu-interface tracing on
the LMT. You can find that the RANAP_RELOCATION_REQUIRED message is reported and
the handover cause value in the message is resource-optimization-relocation. Initiate A interface
tracing. You can find that the Handover Request message is reported and the handover cause
value in the message is traffic.
NOTE:
Ensure that the GSM cell is not in the congestion state.
2G-to-3G Traffic Steering
NOTE:
The verification can be done when only the GSM cell is in the basic congestion state.
Use a dual-mode MS to call a fixed telephone in the GSM cell. Trace the CS domain messages
of a single subscriber on the LMT. Check whether the call stays in the GSM cell and is not
handed over to UMTS cells.
Use a dual-mode MS to initiate a PS service in the GSM cell. Trace the PS domain messages of a
single subscriber on the LMT. Check whether the MS is switched to UMTS cells through
handovers or through cell reselection.
• If a PFM-PS-HANDOVER-REQUIRED message is reported on the Gb interface, the dual-
mode MS is switched to UMTS cells through handovers.
• If a Packet Cell Change Order message is reported on the Um interface, the dual-mode MS
is switched to UMTS cells through cell reselection.

10.4.3 Verification
If the verification achieves the following results as expected, the configuration succeeds.
Otherwise, the configuration fails.
3G-to-2G Load Balancing
NOTE:
The verification procedure consists of the RRC setup phase and the RAB connection phase. The
verification in the latter phase involves CS speech services and PS data services.
1. Verifying that CS speech services in UMTS cell 1 are handed over to GSM cell 2 at the
RRC setup phase
Use a dual-mode MS to call a fixed telephone in cell 1. The call is successfully established.
Initiate Uu-interface signaling tracing on the LMT. The RRC_RRC_CONNECT_REQ and
RRC_RRC_CONN_REJECT messages are reported, and the RRC_RRC_CONN_REJECT
message contains GSM-TargetCellInfo. That is, information about cell2 is contained,
indicating that the MS accesses cell2.
2. Verifying that PS data services in UMTS cell1 are handed over to GPRS cell3 at the RAB
connection phase
a. Use an MS to browse the Internet.
b. Initiate Uu-interface message tracing on the LMT. You can find that the messages
RRC_RB_SETUP, RRC_RB_SETUP_CMP, RRC_MEAS_CTRL, and
RRC_CELL_CHANGE_ORDER_FROM_UTRAN are reported, and that the value
of InterRATEvent in the RRC_MEAS_CTRL message is event3c.
c. Initiate Iu-interface signaling tracing on the LMT. You can find that the
RANAP_SRNS_CONTEXT_REQ message is sent from the CN to the RNC and
then the RANAP_SRNS_CONTEXT_RESP message is sent from the RNC to the
CN.
d. Start the Iu interface signaling tracing on the LMT. You can find that the
RANAP_SRNS_DATA_FORWARD_COMMAND and
RANAP_IU_RELEASE_COMMAND messages are sent from the CN to the RNC
and then the RANAP_IU_RELEASE_COMPLETE message is sent from the RNC to
the CN.
e. When the MS attempts to reselect cell3, Internet browsing is slightly affected. After
the MS reselects cell3, Internet browsing returns to normal.
3. Verifying that CS speech services in UMTS cell1 are handed over to GSM cell2 at the
RAB connection phase.
a. Use a dual-mode MS to call a fixed telephone in cell 1. The call is successfully
established.
b. Initiate Uu-interface tracing on the LMT. You can find that the messages
RRC_RB_SETUP, RRC_RB_SETUP_CMP, RRC_MEAS_CTRL, and
RRC_HO_FROM_UTRAN_CMD_GSM are reported, and that the value of
InterRATEvent in the RRC_MEAS_CTRL message is event3c.
c. Initiate Iu-interface signaling tracing on the LMT. You can find that the
RANAP_RELOCATION_REQUIRED message is sent from the RNC to the CN and
then the RANAP_RELOCATION_COMMAND and
RANAP_IU_RELEASE_COMMAND messages are sent from the CN to the RNC.
d. Initiate Iu-interface signaling tracing on the LMT. You can find that the
RANAP_IU_RELEASE_COMPLETE message is sent from the RNC to the CN.
2G-to-3G Load Balancing
NOTE:
The verification can be done when only the GSM cell is in the basic congestion state.
Use an MS to initiate a call in the GSM cell. The directed retry procedure is triggered so that the
MS accesses the neighboring UMTS cell. The call is successfully established. Initiate A-interface
signaling tracing on the LMT. You can find that the Assignment Request, Handover Required,
and Handover Command messages are reported and that the value of cause in the Handover
Required message is directed-retry(13).
