Guide Equalization
2 Overview of LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization

The LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization module (DLE) automates the load equalization between
different co-sector traffic layers when the layers are not congested. For a congested sector, the mod-
ule can conduct offload to a different layer.
The DLE module performs load equalization between layers, by dynamically configuring load profile
parameters that affect the load balancing and traffic steering behavior for each individual cell, while
maintaining level-1 KPIs.
The DLE module provides the following functions:
• If all traffic layers are congested, offload traffic to a low band when it is possible.
• Determines load imbalance between co-located cells.
• Distributes load for imbalanced sectors according to a strategy that the user can supply.
• Enables load equalization alignment between active mode and idle mode.
The DLE module provides the following benefits:
• Reduce blocking and allow traffic absorption in areas where multiple carrier frequency is present.
• Improve the end user experience especially for Non-Guaranteed Bit Rate (Non-GBR) services.
2.1 LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization dependencies and

interactions
For information on dependencies and interactions of LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization module,
see:
• Dependencies
• Interactions
2.1.1 Dependencies
The LTE DLE module has the following dependencies:
• It relies on the RAN feature, LTE1841: AMLE Inter-frequency Load Equalization. The LTE1841
RAN feature must be activated. If not activated, the DLE module excludes those cells.
• It does not create nor delete AMLEPR, LNHOIF, and IFRIM managed objects. However, the LTE
DLE module provides option to use adapted module for LTE1841 feature activation along with the
creation of these managed objects.
2.1.2 Interactions
The LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization module does not interact with any other EdenNet module.

LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization DN1000020270 1-1 LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization
Guide functional description and guidelines
3 LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization functional

description and guidelines
The main goal of the DLE module is to automate the manual portion of layer management strategy
and dynamically provide the optimal layer management settings per cell or relation between different
bands through a user defined configuration.
The module enables the efficient use of network resources on multiple carrier frequencies and
achieves similar user experience independent of the carrier frequency in use. It works in an iterative
mode on consecutive days, taking optimization steps based on the previous day's results.
The LTE DLE module balances the traffic between bands. User can select and configure 3GPP bands
as follows:
• In traffic layers, the minimum number of bands that can be configured is two and the maximum
number is up to the user.
• In coverage layers, the number of bands that can be configured is one.
For more information about the LTE bands used in deployments, see Appendix B: LTE frequency
bands
3.1 Operational modes of LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization

The LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization module can operate in two different modes:
• Open loop mode

• Closed loop mode
3.1.1 Open loop mode

In open loop mode, the module calculates the cell load to determine sector imbalance and recommend
load equalization actions and generates an open loop report, which lists the following:
• Configuration: Indicates the module configuration parameters.

• Validation: Indicates the cells which didn’t pass the module validation and are excluded.
• Changes: Indicates the proposed load profile changes for imbalanced sectors.
• KPI: Indicates the KPI values that are used by module for load evaluation.
• MO Attributes: Indicates the current load profile parameters that are used by the module to deter-
mine their optimization.

Guide functional description and guidelines
3.1.2 Closed loop mode

In closed loop mode, the LTE DLE module pushes the parameter changes to the live network and gen-
erates reports for every iteration. In addition to the reports available in open loop, there is also a report
for Composite Available Capacity (CAC) before and after parameter push for each iteration.
After the parameter pushes are complete, the module waits for the configured measurement period to
assess the impacts on monitoring metrics, and rollback changes if critical performance degradations is
detected in the network.

Guide algorithm
4 LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization algorithm

The LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization algorithm steps are as follows:
1. Check feature activation (optional step): This functionality is applicable when feature activation
is required. By default, this functionality is disabled.
The parameterEnforcement is used to enable or disable the usage of adapted audit modules.
If parameterEnforcement is set to True and the adapted audit module fails to run, then the
LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization module will be stopped.
2. Conduct congestion check: In this step, the LTE Nokia Dynamic Load Equalization module
checks if the traffic layers (for example, B2 and B4) are congested. All cells on trafficLayers
from the same sector must satisfy the congestion criteria. The congestion criteria are present in the
INI configuration file and are therefore configurable. The default criteria are as follows:
If Inactivity Timer (LNCEL.inactivityTimer)= 5, then

(Avg DL PRB Utilization >= 70% and (Avg RRC Connected Users per 5
Mhz)) >= 50)
If Inactivity Timer <> 5, then
(Avg DL PRB Utilization >= 70% and (Avg RRC Connected Users per 5
Mhz)) >= 65)
If traffic layer cells are congested, the traffic is offloaded to the coverage layer (for example, co-
sector B12) cells. Congested sectors are excluded from load equalization steps for current itera-
tion. They will be evaluated again during next iteration.
3. Check KPI data validity: When module requires KPIs for load evaluation, it checks the entire cells
if all the required data points are present. After outliers are removed, if a cell or sector has less
than dataValidityThreshold, the cell and sector is excluded.
4. Evaluate load: In this step, the module evaluates the load to determine if a sector is load imbal-
anced. There are three options for the loadMetrics parameter:
• Normalize RRC/5Mhz:
If loadMetrics is set to Normalize RRC/5Mhz, the load is calculated based on the

normalized RRC/5Mhz for all the traffic layer cells. If the load delta between cells is greater
than or equal to a threshold, the sector is imbalanced and is included for load equalization.
The following example illustrates how the load evaluation using normalized RRC/5Mhz triggers
equalization between two traffic layers.
Table 2: loadMetrics as Normalize RRC/5Mhz lists an example where loadMetrics

parameter is set to Normalize RRC/5Mhz.
loadMetrics KPI value Result
Normalize RRC/5 CELL-B2 = 41.90 Delta = 16.67

Mhz
CELL-B4 = 25.23

Guide algorithm
(deltaLoad =10) • Parameter changes will offload from B2

to B4.
Normalize RRC/5 CELL-B2 = 10.42 Delta = 11.41

Mhz
CELL-B4 = 21.84 • Parameter changes will offload from B4
(deltaLoad =10) to B2.
Table 2: loadMetrics as Normalize RRC/5Mhz
• DL Ue Throughput:
If loadMetrics is set to DL Ue Throughput, the load imbalance is calculated as 100*(Max-

Min)/Max
The following example describes how the load evaluation using DL UE Throughout triggers
equalization between two traffic layers.
Table 3: loadMetrics as DL UE Throughput lists an example where loadMetrics is set to DL

Ue Throughput.
DL Ue Throughput CELL-B2 = 489.48 Delta = 25.98
(throughputDelta=10) CELL-B4 = 362.29 • Parameter changes will offload from B4

to B2.
DL Ue Throughput CELL-B2 = 897.30 Delta = 17.49
(throughputDelta=10) CELL-B4 = 1087.55 • Parameter changes will offload from B2

to B4.
Table 3: loadMetrics as DL UE Throughput
• All (AND condition)
If loadMetrics is set to ALL, both KPIs must meet conditions mentioned above for the
sector to be an imbalanced sector. If one of the KPIs does not meet the condition, then module
falls back using the KPI which meets the condition criteria. If both KPIs meet the criteria, then
the module applies weight (cost function) on each KPI as a number between 0 and 1, defined
as per rrc5MhzWeight and throughputWeight GUI parameters. The total weight must be
equal to 1. The formula to calculate the load for each cell is:
cF = W1 * RRC/5MHz + W2 / UE DL Throughput, where: W1+W2 = 1

5. Determine load profile parameter changes: For each imbalanced sector, module determines the
changes to load equalization profile that would re-balance the sector. The changes depend upon
the detected load imbalance and the strategy that user can supply through a configuration file. For

Guide algorithm
more information on how the parameter changes are determined, see the Appendix A: Sample pa-
rameter changes template section.
6. Push parameters to network: This step is only applicable for closed loop mode. For every im-
balanced sector, the module pushes new parameter values to cells. After a time period, module
will check for KPI degradation. If any KPI is found degraded, the changes for that sector are rolled
back and the sector is put on the blacklist. Module will not process the sector until its blacklist ex-
pires. Module allows user to specify KPIs via configuration that need to be checked for degrada-
tion.
7. Compare composite available capacity before and after the push: This step collects available
capacity (CAC) data from cells comparing CAC before and after each iteration.
8. Reporting: In this step, the module generates an XLSX report, that lists the following:
• Cells with parameter changes

• KPIs used to evaluate imbalance and load profile parameters used to determine changes
• CAC comparison before and after load equalization
• Excluded cells that fail module validation
• Degraded cells
• Module configuration parameters used for the instance

The parameter changes template is an XLSX file, which contains the list of parameter change values
for every iteration. Parameter changes for every iteration follow the steps in this template.
A sample template is provided in this section that shows how the operator must develop their
parameter changes template. As per this sample there are two traffic bands (for example, B2 and B4)
that the operator wants to equalize load.Table 15: Example for parameter changes template describes
the tabs in parameterChangestemplate.xlsx file.
Tabs Description
<B4> Offload <B4>offload tab, when a sector is imbalanced and B4 layer has more load
compared to B2 layer. Parameter changes for the iteration follow the steps in
this template.
<B2> Offload <B2>offload tab is the opposite of <B4> offload, where B2 layer has more load
compared to the B4 layer. Parameter changes for the iteration follow the steps
in this template.
