3G UMTS/WCDMA Drop Call Rate Improvement(DCR CS/PS)

in 3G Network Huawei
Today I would like to share 3G UMTS/WCDMA Drop Call Rate Improvement in 3G Network Huawei.
Some parameter for drop call rate improvement especially for CS service in 3G network need to adjust to
improve DCR CS. Drop call in 3G network is one of KPI that need to be optimized especially when
customer ask for KPI improvement on the Network. Parameter below can be implemented to improve
drop call rate in 3G Network Huawei especially for CS service(DCR CS).

1. Enable CS_DISCONNECT_OPT_SWITCH
2. Enable RRC_SCRI_NORM_REL_SWITCH

Description of each parameter:

- CS_DISCONNECT_OPT_SWITCH
Whether the RNC performs optimized processing if the UE does not respond within 3 seconds after
receiving a DIRECT TRANSFER message from the CN during a CS call release. The value of the IE
Message Type in the DIRECT TRANSFER message is Disconnect.
1: This switch is turned on. The RNC creates a DIRECT TRANSFER message and sends it to the CN.
The value of the IE Message Type in the DIRECT TRANSFER message is Release.
0: This switch is turned off. The RNC does not create the DIRECT TRANSFER message

Script to enable this Switch:

SET
URRCTRLSWITCH:IMPROVEMENTSWITCH=CS_DISCONNECT_OPT_SWITCH-
1;
- RRC_SCRI_NORM_REL_SWITCH (Switch for Performing the Optimized RRC Connection Release
Procedure on Receipt of a SIGNALLING CONNECTION RELEASE INDICATION Message)
1: This switch is turned on. The RNC initiated the normal release process after receive SIGNALLING
CONNECTION RELEASE INDICATION message from UE.
0: This switch is turned off. The RNC does not handle SIGNALLING CONNECTION RELEASE
INDICATION message during the process.

Script to enable this Switch:

SET
URRCTRLSWITCH:PROCESSSWITCH2=RRC_SCRI_NORM_REL_SWITCH-1;

The other way to improve 3G DCR CS/PS in 3G UMTS/WCDMA Huawei Network:

1. SHO Optimization (Recommended for Outer Cells)

- MOD UCELLINTRAFREQHO:RNCID=xxx,CELLID=xxx,SHOQUALMIN=-24;
- INTRARELTHDFOR1ACSNVP & INTRARELTHDFOR1BCSNVP = existing + 2
2. RL Power Optimization (Recommended for Cells with high Uu No Reply, Value adjust based on cells
with high VS.RAB.FailEstabCS.UuNoReply)
- MOD UCELLRLPWR: CELLID=XXXXX, CNDOMAINID=CS_DOMAIN, MAXBITRATE=12200,
RLMAXDLPWR=20, RLMINDLPWR=-140;
3.Radio Link Optimization (Recommended for RNC Level)
- SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH:MAPSWITCH=MAP_CSPS_RL_RESET_0K_LIMIT_SWITCH-1;
- SET UCORRMPARA:PERFENHANCESWITCH3=PERFENH_RLRESETUP_GUARANTEE_SWITCH-
1,PERFENHANCESWITCH5=PERFENH_FACH_TVM_MC_TIME_OPT_SWITCH-1;
- SET
URRCTRLSWITCH:PROCESSSWITCH4=RRC_CELLFACH_DL_TRB_RESET_TO_F2D_SWITCH-
1,OPTIMIZATIONSWITCH6=ASU_RSP_FAIL_REL_UE-1&CS_TRIG_PS_F2D_SWITCH-1;
Graph below show the result of above parameter changes to improve Drop call rate(DCR CS/PS):
The result show significant improvement for Drop call rate in 3G Huawei network both DCR CS and DCR
PS. For Other vendor(Nokia/Ericsson) you can find similar parameters or read parameter mapping
between vendor.
