WCDMA RAN
Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Background
The random access channel (RACH) is a shared uplink channel used for transmitting user-
plane data and control-plane signaling messages (including RRC Connection Request, RRC
Connection Setup Complete, and Cell Update). As shown in Figure 2-1, the RACH has a
smaller coverage radius than the dedicated channel (DCH) for the following reasons:
l The RACH uses open-loop power control, which can introduce performance loss due to
fast fading in radio environments and has high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) requirements
for data that can be received by the NodeB over the RACH.
l The DCH uses closed-loop power control, which enables UEs to quickly adjust their
transmit power according to changes in channel conditions.
Figure 2-1 Cell uplink coverage
The small coverage area of the RACH limits network access. For example, in Figure 2-1,
points A and B are both within the coverage area of the DCH. Point A is also covered by the
RACH, but point B is not. At point A, a UE in idle mode or in the CELL_PCH or
CELL_FACH state can randomly access a cell and initiate services. At point B, the UE fails
to initiate calls or access network services.

WCDMA RAN
Parameter Description 2 Overview
2.2 Introduction
This feature uses the following two methods to improve RACH coverage:
l Decreasing the demodulation threshold to make it easier for the NodeB to capture
physical RACH (PRACH) preambles
l Providing a high-order channel decoding algorithm to improve the PRACH message
decoding capability
2.3 Benefits
l The required SNR decreases by 1 dB to 2 dB and more users can access the network in
the event of weak uplink coverage.
l CS traffic improves in weak coverage areas without additional sites.

WCDMA RAN
Parameter Description 3 Technical Description
3 Technical Description
The RACH is mapped onto the physical channel PRACH. During random access, UEs send
PRACH preambles and PRACH message to the UTRAN. The PRACH preambles are used for
detecting preamble conflicts and requesting RACH resources. Also, the PRACH message is
used for carrying upper-layer data.
To enable this feature, select ULACESS_COVER_IMPRV_SWITCH under the
NBMLdcAlgoSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter. After this feature is enabled, NodeB
preamble capture capability improves and PRACH message decoding efficiency increases.
Preamble Capture Capability Improvement

The PreambleThreshold(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter specifies whether the NodeB
captures PRACH preambles sent from UEs. When the PRACH preamble is sent, if the SNR is
greater than the parameter value, the NodeB captures the PRACH preamble. Reducing this
parameter value makes it easier for the NodeB to capture the PRACH preambles sent by UEs
in weak coverage areas.
Figure 3-1 shows the working principle.
l Before this feature is enabled, a UE periodically sends PRACH preambles to the NodeB
to access the network. If the SNR is still less than the value of the PreambleThreshold
parameter after the maximum number of preambles have been sent, the NodeB cannot
capture any further preambles.
l After this feature is enabled, the NodeB reduces the demodulation threshold according to
the PreambleThldOffset(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter setting for UEs in the weak
coverage areas to increase the success rate for PRACH preamble capture. The default
value of PreambleThldOffset(BSC6900,BSC6910) is -4, (that is, -2 dB). Then, UEs in
weak coverage areas receive the ACK from the NodeB and send the PRACH message.

WCDMA RAN
Parameter Description 3 Technical Description
Figure 3-1 Working principle
PRACH Message Decoding Capability Improvement

The NodeB uses the Viterbi decoder to decode received messages. This feature introduces a
high-order PRACH message decoding algorithm, the serial list Viterbi algorithm (SLVA), on
the RNC to improve PRACH message decoding accuracy for UEs in weak coverage areas.
SLVA performs high-order decoding on the SRB transport block (TB) with a size less than or
equal to 168 bits in the PRACH message.
The PRACH message is decoded by the NodeB first. If decoding fails, the NodeB sends the
RNC the pre-decoding data related to the PRACH message for SLVA decoding. Then, the
RNC receives and processes subsequent signaling messages.
For example, during the RRC connection setup, the RNC decodes the RRC CONNECTION
REQUEST message and sends the RRC CONNECTION SETUP message to the UE.

Parameter Description 5 Network Impact
5 Network Impact
System Capacity
With this feature enabled, RACH coverage improves and users in weak coverage areas are
more likely to access the network. Details of how this feature impacts networks include:
l Increase in CS traffic
After this feature is enabled, users who are access prohibited due to the RACH coverage
can access the network, which leads to an increase in CS traffic. The CS traffic increase
amount is proportional to the number of users in weak coverage areas.
l Increase in CELL_DCH users
After this feature is enabled, more users can access the network and CELL_DCH users
increase. The CELL_DCH user increase amount is proportional to the number of users in
weak coverage areas.
l Increase in cell load
New user access increases cell load, as indicated by the increase in received total
wideband power (RTWP) and non-HSPA TCP. The cell load increase amount is related
to the number of users in the system, as shown in Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2.

WCDMA RAN

l Impact on CPU KPIs

After this feature is enabled, pre-decoding data will be copied. As a result, the CPU-
related counters will increase by less than 2% on the BSC6900's DPUb and DPUe boards
and BSC6910's EGPU board. The following table lists the counters related to the CPU.

l Impact on inter-subrack traffic

When this feature is enabled, pre-decoding data is sent to the DEUa board for high-order
decoding. As a result, inter-subrack traffic increases and counters in the following table
are affected.

Network Performance
This feature decreases the PRACH preamble demodulation threshold, increasing the values of
the following counters:
l VS.RRC.AttConnEstab.Sum(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l VS.RAB.AttEstab.AMR(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Int(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Bkg(BSC6900,BSC6910)
In addition, newly admitted users have lower radio link performance than cell center users.
Consequently, the following KPIs for these users deteriorate:
l RRC Setup Success Ratio

l AMR RAB Setup Success Ratio
l PS RAB Setup Success Ratio
l CS Service Drop Ratio
l PS Call Drop Ratio with PCH
NOTE
The degree of network KPI deterioration is proportional to the number of RRC connection setups in
weak coverage areas.
Enabling this feature allows more CELL_DCH users in weak coverage areas to access the
network, increasing the values of the following counters:
l VS.SHO.AttRLAdd(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l VS.SHO.AMR.Att(BSC6900,BSC6910)

WCDMA RAN
l VS.HSUPA.SHO.ServCellChg.AttOut(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l VS.HSDPA.SHO.ServCellChg.AttOut(BSC6900,BSC6910)
After this feature is enabled, the cell may incorrectly detect PRACH preambles while no UEs
send PRACH preambles, increasing the probability of reporting ALM-28209 Cell No Traffic.

WCDMA RAN
Parameter Description 6 Engineering Guidelines
6 Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use Uplink Coverage Improvement During

Access
Use this feature for networks that meet the following conditions:
l Signals are weak in some coverage areas. The following two methods are available for
identifying a weak coverage area:
Checking user received signal code power (RSCP) distribution
Assess RSCP distribution in a cell or cluster by using counters involved in "Number
of Times the RSCP Indicated in an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST Message Falls
into a Specific Range". Use the following formula:
Percentage of weak coverage areas = (VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.
7(BSC6900,BSC6910) + VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.8(BSC6900,BSC6910) +
VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.9(BSC6900,BSC6910))/(VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.
VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.2(BSC6900,BSC6910) + VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.
9(BSC6900,BSC6910))
Enable this feature when weak coverage accounts for more than 10% of the areas
covered. In this situation, there is a high probability that there are users outside the
coverage area of the RACH.
Checking user complaints for access-related issues
l The GUI value of the PreambleThreshold(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is greater
than or equal to 40.
NOTE
If the demodulation threshold is less than 40, the NodeB will incorrectly believe that there are UEs
sending PRACH preambles when actually they are not. As a result, RACH resources are wasted,
impeding actual random access requests.
l Less than 20% of the NACK messages on the RACH are reported.

WCDMA RAN
The percentage of NACK messages reported on the RACH can be calculated using the
following NodeB counters:
Percentage of NACK messages reported on the RACH =
VS.NegativeNum.AICH.Locell.SectorEqm/
(VS.PositiveNum.AICH.Locell.SectorEqm +
VS.NegativeNum.AICH.Locell.SectorEqm)
You are advised to enable WRFD-180201 Improved Uplink Coverage for SRB over DCH to
improve uplink coverage for users whose SRBs are carried over the DCH, and mitigate
impact on the following KPIs:
l RRC Setup Success Ratio
l AMR RAB Setup Success Ratio
l PS RAB Setup Success Ratio
l CS Service Drop Ratio
l PS Call Drop Ratio with PCH
You are advised to enable the WRFD-010690 TTI Switch for BE Services Based on Coverage
feature and select PERFENH_SRB_OVER_HSUPA_TTI10_SWITCH under the
PerfEnhanceSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter in the SET UCORRMPARA command
to allow cell edge users to be carried over the DCH in the uplink.
You are advised not to enable this feature in the following scenarios:
l High-speed mobile scenarios
Enabling this feature may lead to KPI deterioration.
l Scenarios where the percentage of cell center users is less than 30%
Percentage of cell center users = (VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.0(BSC6900,BSC6910) +
VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.4(BSC6900,BSC6910))/(VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.
9(BSC6900,BSC6910))
In this scenario, most users reside in the weak coverage area and network optimization is
required. Enabling this feature in such scenarios allows more users in weak coverage
areas to access the network. As a result, the percentage of users in weak coverage areas
becomes excessively high, leading to significant KPI deterioration.
6.2 Required Information

l Values of counters VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.0(BSC6900,BSC6910) to
VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.9(BSC6900,BSC6910) (used for assessing user distribution of a
network)
l Value of the counter VS.RRC.AttConnEstab.Sum(BSC6900,BSC6910)
l Values of counters VS.RAB.AMR.Erlang.cell(BSC6900,BSC6910) and
VS.RAB.AMRWB.Erlang.cell(BSC6900,BSC6910)

WCDMA RAN
Counter Name Counter Description
VS.TbNum.SRB.RACH.EcNo. Range 6: < Actual value of

6(BSC6900,BSC6910) PreambleThreshold - 5 dB
PreambleThreshold(BSC6900,BSC6910) is a
cell-level parameter on the RNC and can be
configured by using the RNC MML command
ADD UPRACHBASIC or MOD UPRACH.
The feature gain is indicated by the difference between the minimum ranges where the
number of SRB TBs is greater than 0 before and after this feature is enabled.
For example:
If PreambleThldOffset(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to -4, the minimum Ec/No range with
the number of SRB TBs greater than 0 is indicated by VS.TbNum.SRB.RACH.EcNo.
0(BSC6900,BSC6910) before this feature is enabled and by
VS.TbNum.SRB.RACH.EcNo.2(BSC6900,BSC6910) after this feature is enabled.
Therefore, the RACH coverage gain is 2 dB after this feature is enabled.
l Access quantity, CS traffic, and user quantity

View the values of VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.0(BSC6900,BSC6910) to
VS.RRC.Access.RSCP.9(BSC6900,BSC6910) in cells where values of these counters

6.5 Parameter Optimization

The PreambleThldOffset(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter specifies the demodulation
threshold on the RACH for a cell.
The smaller the value of this parameter:
l The higher the probability that users in weak coverage areas can access a cell. As a
result, more users in weak coverage areas are admitted, leading to severe deterioration in
the success rate of RRC connection setup.
l The higher the probability that the NodeB demodulates the noise into the preamble. As a
result, the RACH resources become insufficient, impeding actual random access
requests.
The larger the value of this parameter, the higher the threshold for PRACH preamble capture
and the lower the probability that users in weak coverage areas access a given cell. As a
result, the number of RRC connection setup requests decreases, but the success rate of RRC
connection setup increases.
It is recommended that the GUI value of PreambleThldOffset(BSC6900,BSC6910) be greater
than or equal to -4. Otherwise, there is a high probability that the NodeB will incorrectly
believe that there are users sending PRACH preambles. A great number of users in weak
coverage areas access the cell, leading to significant decrease in the success rate of RRC
connection setup.
