IDLE Mode
1) Based on the following measurements and thresholds, calculate the Srxlev for each
cell and determine which cell will be initially selected by the mobile.
Qrxlevmin; -75dBm
Qrxlevmeas_A; -65dBm
A
Qrxlevmin; -95dBm
Qrxlevmeas_B; -75dBm
C
Qrxlevmin; -95dBm
Qrxlevmeas_C -100dBm

2) Determine from the following, at what Qrxlev_meas,S would intra-freq search and
non-intra-freq search begin
Qrxlevmin = -90dBm
Sintrasearch = 30
Srxlev
Snonintrasearch = 10
Sintrasearch = 20dB
Qrxlevmeas = -50

the reselection actually takes place?

6) If no LTE neighbour was available and the Snonintrasearch threshold was set to
10dB what would Qmeas (signal strength) when the UE began searching for an IRAT
neighbour?

An operator has been testing PRACH performance in the lab and has found that a larger than
expected number of preambles are transmitted before a UE gets a response from the eNB.
Overall results indicate that on average five preambles are transmitted.
1. The average amount of time between the first preamble and the response from the eNB.
2. Some suggested parameter changes that may reduce the number of preamble
transmissions; ideally to just one.
An operator has installed LTE repeaters on the passenger trains running on a new high speed
rail line between two major cities. They are concerned that their current handover parameters
may not act fast enough to maintain reliable connections along the route. The operator would
like you to review the current parameters and consider adjustments to the standard parameter
set prior to the commencement of testing.
Cell are placed along the new rail line approximately every five kilometres. It is expected that
on open track the overlap area between cells will be in the order of 1 km, however, in some
places, particularly at tunnel entrances it may be as low as 200 m.
Step 1
Calculate how long it will take a train running at normal operating speed to pass through the
overlap area between cells. You should do this for both open ground and tunnel entrances.
Answer:
Step 2
Write a brief report indicating whether or not you think changes need to be made to the
standard parameter set. Include a brief explanation of each change and consider any other
changes that you think might be appropriate outside the set of parameters given here.
