After receiving the ALERTING message from the called party, the RNC serving the called party forwards the ALERTING message to
the CN and the RNC serving the calling party simultaneously. After receiving the Parallel Processing of the Iu and Uu Alerting from the
RNC serving the called party, the RNC serving the calling party sends the ALERTING message to the calling party. In this way, parallel
alerting over the Iu and Uu interfaces are achieved.

Background
With the deployment of U900 network, U900 undertakes more and more capacity demands. But
spectral efficiency of U900 is lower than U2100,because of interference, antenna etc, which will
reduce system capacity. Therefore, we need to consider how to improve U900 system capacity.
Feature of “Downlink Capacity Enhancement on Dual-Band Networks” is provided at RAN19.1.
When the cell TCP load is high, affecting the system capacity, related functions are performed to
save Non-HSPA power consumption and improve spectral efficiency, thereby improving system
capacity.
Principle1- For mid-load scenario, balance the loads between the U900 and U2100 cells
The RNC automatically identifies dual-band co-coverage cells and periodically monitors their average
downlink TCP load.
If loads are not balanced between cells, relevant parameter settings for overloaded cells are adjusted to enable UEs to
preferentially camp on, or be redirected or handed over to, cells with lighter loads. This helps balance the downlink TCP loads
between cells, and improves the downlink capacity of the system.
If all the dual-band co-coverage cells are in the power-limited state, related parameter settings for cell reselection are adjusted to
enable UEs to preferentially camp on cells with high spectral efficiency, improving the downlink capacity.
For a PS 1A event, if its best cell has good signal quality and the target cell
is power limited (higher than CapaOptTcpLoadThld) in the downlink, the
RNC refuses to add the target cell to the active set to saving downlink
non-HSPA power and improving the downlink capacity.
IRAT Reselection parameter adjustment function: Reducing the power consumed by inter-RAT ping-pong reselections and
improving the downlink capacity.
Condition Action
Cell TCP load> CapaOptTcpLoadThld and The following parameters are automatically set to the
RRC.SuccConnEstab.IRATCelRes per minute > following values:
IRatReselParaAdjRRCThld SsearchRat=0
InterRatTreselScalingFactor=19
2D/2F parameters adjustment function: Reducing compress mode consumption to improve system DL capacity.
Positive Impacts
Increase system downlink capacity by 5%~15%.
Negative Impacts
For high-load scenario, it may increase PS call drop rate,decrease SHO/HHO Success rate.
Hardware limitation
3900 series base stations configured with WBBPb、WBBPd、WBBPf、UBBPd or UBBPe boards are needed.
Micro and DBS3900 LampSite base stations nonsupport this feature.
Deployment scenario
Mid-load scenario: The average TCP is greater than 40% in the cell cluster, and the average inter-cell TCP gap is greater than 10%.
The value of VS.MeanRTWP is not higher than -95 dBm during off-peak hours.
High-load scenario: The average cell TCP is greater than 80%.

The call drop rate of high speed railway cluster is about 2-3 times higher than that
of non high speed railway cluster in the same region .
First of all : High speed / ultra high speed mobile
-Fast moving UE requires a wider handover zone, which increases the risk of call drop
cause by handover.
-Fast moving led to Doppler frequency offset, the UE EcIo decreased , which
increases the risk of call drop.
Second: Capacity pulse
-Especially high speed railway scene , low duty ratio and high traffic capacity limited
can cause coverage shrinkage, which leading the call drop .
Third: High penetration loss
- The penetration loss of highway and high speed railway sense caused RSCP
coverage loss.
