Overview
Overview of the Functions
Load balancing includes the intra-system load balancing (load-based multi-carrier interoperation, service-based multi-carrier interoperation) and Inter-RAT load balancing. Its chief principal is to deploy reasonably the inter-cell traffic based on the load of cell and the neighboring cell configuration (ShareCover, GsmShareCover), and use the system resources effectively to enhance the system capacity and QoS.
2.1.1
Call holding procedure: involving handover, relocation from other system or RNC to local RNC, call re-establishment triggered by CELL UPDATE, state transition from non-CELL_DCH to CELL_DCH.
In the three scenarios, related functions are controlled by three switches: InitRrcLBSw, RabAssLBSw, CallHoldLBSw. Principles of target cell selection in load-based multi-carrier interoperation: 1) Combine the target cell of UE for access/handover and its neighboring cells which are with Overlap or CoversShareCover relationship into a target cell set (named Set); 2) Pick a set (named Set1) of cells which the UE frequency-band supports from the target cell set; 3) Select the cell with the lowest overall load which can provide the requested service from the cell Set1. The cell load is evaluated by three factors: uplink interference (RTWP), downlink power (TCP), and downlink code resources. The related functions of the three factors are controlled by three switches: UlLdBalPwrSwch, DlLdBalPwrSwch, and LdBalCdSwch. The restricted resource may be different in different scenarios. For example, for cells in some areas, downlink power is frequently limited, while in cells of another area, the code resource is frequently limited. Therefore, different weights can be configured according to the three factors, so as to adapt to different application scenarios. Note: for cells supporting HSPA, the three factors are valued according to the following principles. The uplink interference is measured by the uplink payload: Uplink payload = Load generated by uplink DCH + Load generated by nonscheduling E-DCH + Load generated by the throughput of GBR services of scheduling E-DCH Load generated by uplink DCH + Load generated by non-scheduling E-DCH can be measured by NodeB RSRPS, while Load generated by the throughput of GBR services of scheduling E-DCH can be calculated by the uplink interference predictive formula. See <ZTE UMTS Admission Control Feature Description>. The downlink power is measured by the downlink payload:
Snum i= 0
HSDSCHRequiredPower
NOHSDSCHPower refers to the Transmitted carrier power of all codes not used for HSPDSCH or HS-SCCH transmission that is reported by the NodeB.
Downlink code resources are measured by the code resource occupancy of channels other than HS-PDSCH.
2.1.2
Service-based multi-carrier interoperation selects a target cell preferably in Initial RRC procedure, RAB assignment, and call holding procedure, rather than triggering the handover actively. That is, when selecting a target cell in Initial RRC procedure, RAB assignment, and call holding procedure, RNC will select a proper cell as the target cell for access or handover based on specific service originated by the user equipment (UE). Its application scenarios are classified into three types: Initial RRC procedure: involving Initial RRC procedure. RAB assignment: involving RAB assignment. Call holding procedure: involving handover, relocation from other system or RNC to local RNC, call re-establishment triggered by CELL UPDATE, state transition from non-CELL_DCH to CELL_DCH.
In the three scenarios, related functions are controlled by three switches configured by OMC: InitRrcSBSw, RabAssSBSw, CallHoldSBSw.

3.1.1
3.1.2
Downlink power
The downlink power of a cell uses the CTCP (HSPA cells use downlink payload) as the load evaluating criterion. When the uplink load is heavy, load balancing is required, that is, the traffic is balanced to cells of other carriers to reduce the cell load. Thus, the stability of the system is ensured. When the downlink power exceeds the preset threshold (DlLoadNeedBal2U), the load of the cell is heavy. The load-based multi-carrier interoperation should be triggered.
3.1.3
Code resources
By using load measuring method of the downlink channelization code resources, calculate the proportion of the quantity of code words in use to the total quantity of code words to indicate the load of the downlink channelization code resources. Then, take SF = 128 as the statistic granularity of the code resources. Because the HSDPA is shared, herein we just calculate the occupancy of code resource of DCH. When the downlink code resources exceed the preset threshold (DlCdLdNeedBal2U), the load of the cell is heavy. The load-based multi-carrier interoperation should be triggered.
3.1.4
k indicates the number of factors that are considered in load balancing. The value is 3 at present, which indicates code resources, downlink power, and uplink interference. DestLoad indicates the actual load of the target cell (the uplink interference is measured by RTWP or uplink payload; the downlink power is measured by CTCP or downlink payload; the downlink code resources are measured by the occupancy of SF = 128 code resources of non-HS-DSCH channels). DestThrdLoad indicates the load balancing threshold (corresponds to DlLoadNeedBal2U, UlLoadNeedBal2U, and DlCdLdNeedBal2U configured in the target cell) of the target cell configured by OMC. SourceLoad indicates the load of the source cell. SourceThrdLoad indicates the load balancing threshold (corresponds to DlLoadNeedBal2U, UlLoadNeedBal2U, and DlCdLdNeedBal2U configured in the source cell) of the source cell. Delta indicates the load balancing threshold difference (corresponds to ExtraCDeltaTrd, ExtraCDeltaTru, and ExtraCDeltaCdTrd configured in the source cell) of the source cell configured by OMC. Weighti indicates the weight (corresponds to DlLdBalPwrWeight, UlLdBalPwrWeight, and LdBalCdWeight configured in the source cell) of each factor. The three factors - code resources, downlink power, and uplink interference - can be controlled by three switches: LdBalCdSwch, DlLdBalPwrSwch, and UlLdBalPwrSwch. When a factor is switched to OFF, it will not be taken into consideration in load balancing, and the corresponding weight is invalid (0). The sum of weights (DlLdBalPwrWeight, UlLdBalPwrWeight, and LdBalCdWeight) of each factor is 1, which is ensured by the configuration. If all of the three factors are switched to OFF, load balancing is not performed. If the load of the code resources exceeds its threshold of load balancing (DlCdLdNeedBal2U), or the load of downlink power exceeds its threshold of load balancing (DlLoadNeedBal2U), or the uplink interference exceeds its threshold of load balancing (UlLoadNeedBal2U), the load of the cell is heavy. Otherwise, the load is light. According to this principle, the serving cells and their UE-supporting neighboring cells which are with Overlap or CoversShareCover relationship are included into two cell lists, one for the heavy load cells and the other for the light load cells. Weight
calculations are performed for each cell in the two lists according to the above formula, and weights are sorted in an ascending order. The smaller the weight is, the lower the load is. The multi-carrier operation is triggered when the target cell of UE for access/handover is overloaded. That is, in Initial RRC procedure, RAB assignment, and call holding procedure, select a cell with the lowest weight (lowest evaluating of load) from target cell and its neighboring cells which are with Overlap or Covers ShareCover relationship to access, and the cell should be supported by UE, and can be carried by services.

(1) Combine the target cell of UE for access/handover and its neighboring cells which are with Overlap or CoversShareCover relationship into a target cell Set; (2) Pick a set (named as Set1) of cells which the UE band supports from the target cell set in step (1); (3) Pick a set (named as Set2) of cells which the UE currently originated service supports from Set1 in step (2); (4) Select the lowest load cell as the final target cell for access/handover in Set2. See services and target cell types which can carry the services in the following table:
Table 1 Services and target cell types which can carry the services DCH/DCH Cells which do not support HSUPA and HSDPA Cells supporting HSDPA and DCH Cells supporting HSUPA, HSDPA, and DCH HS-DSCH/DCH Cells supporting HSDPA and DCH Cells supporting HSUPA, HSDPA, and DCH HS-DSCH/E-DCH Cells supporting HSUPA and HSDPA Cells supporting HSUPA, HSDPA, and DCH

If no cell is selected in the step above, select the first cell in the load ranking list for access. HS-DSCH/DCH, HS-DSCH/E-DCH Determine whether the following preferred cells exist in the lightly loaded target cells: Ps preferred cells which can support the R5 Cs + Ps preferred cells which can support the R5 The first cell that meets the preference rule is the preferred cell. If no cell is selected in the step above, select the first cell in the load ranking list for access. Cells supporting R5 indicates: Cells supporting HSUPA and HSDPA; Cells supporting HSDPA, and DCH; HSUPA,
DCH; Cells supporting HSDPA only. The four types share the same priority.
Note: The lightly-loaded cell in the table 2 refers to the cell: whose code resource load is less than the threshold of code load balancing (DlCdLdNeedBal2U), and downlink power is less than the threshold of download load balancing (DlLoadNeedBal2U), and uplink interference is less than the threshold of uplink load balancing (UlLoadNeedBal2U).

Service Type Target cell types which can carry the services
That is to say, the cell whose service type is not included in the above table will be considered as an unsupported cell, and excluded out of the cell list. (3) Cells in Set1 in step (2) will be sorted according to specific service types and the Prefer property of cells (PrefTrafType). See below table.

CS + PS services
(3) If the HCS function is introduced for cells, the cells should be sorted based on the HCS priorities of target cells in the descending order in the sorting in step (3). (The HCS priority ranges from 0 to 7. 0 is the lowest priority with relatively wide coverage, while 7 is the highest priority with relatively small coverage). That is to say, sort the listed cells based on the HCS properties in the precondition of meeting the prefer property. Based on the deletion and preference sorting procedures on the listed target cells in the above steps, select the first cell in the list as the target cell for access or handover.

This parameter indicates the downlink load threshold for load balance between interRAT. If the downlink load of the local cell exceeds the threshold indicated by this parameter, performs the downlink load balance judgment and UE may be balanced to inter-RAT cells. The power threshold is higher than UTRAN Downlink Load Balance Threshold-Power (%) by default. That means, when the load balance is triggered by downlink power, the load is balanced to utran cells at first, and will not be balanced to inter-RAT cells until the downlink power increases and reaches to the threshold indicated by this parameter. The higher the parameter value is, the smaller the possibility of that the services are balanced to inter-RAT cells. And vice versa.

Description
Path: View->Configuration Management->RNC NE->RNC Radio Resource Management->Utran Cell->Utran Cell XXX-> Modify Advanced Parameter -> Balance Information-> Inter-RAT Uplink Load Balance Threshold-Interference(dB) Parameter Configuration
This parameter indicates the uplink interference load threshold for load balance between different systems. If the uplink interference of local cell exceeds the threshold indicated by this parameter, performs the uplink interference load balance judgment and UE of local cell may be balanced to other systems.

The power threshold is higher than Inter-RAT Uplink Load Balance ThresholdInterference (dB) by default. That is, when the load balance is triggered by uplink interference, the load is balanced to utran cells at first, and will not be balanced to InterRAT cells until the uplink interference increases and reaches to the threshold indicated by this parameter. The higher the parameter value is, the smaller the possibility of that the services are balanced to cells of other systems is. And vice versa.
