Unbalance Utilization = Gap Highest Utilization and

lowest utilization > 20%

• Unbalance Utilization is a RF condition which in one sector have multi band and have big gap utilization between band
• Unbalance utilization can impact to degraded user experience due to high capacity issue which should can be load shared to other band which still low utilization
• For balancing utilization to be more effective, for each band in one sector to have same coverage footprint
• Unbalance utilization could be occurred due to mismatch parameter, different coverage footprint, or different UE band support

After MLB is enabled, eNodeBs check the load status of cells, select
L900 appropriate target cells and UEs based on the load information
layer(5MHz) Trigger MLB when user
number >15 exchanged between cells, and then transfer UEs from the heavily-loaded
(priority 3)
cell to the lightly-loaded cell.
 Resource Balancing | Trigger by User Number
Execution Sequence
 The load of the serving cell is measured in every measurement
period (1s). If the load is higher than the threshold for triggering
MLB for a period specified by Pdelay (5s), the MLB is triggered.
 After the MLB is triggered, the cell load information exchange is
performed in every exchange period (5s), and the eNodeB selects
target cells and UEs in each execution period (5s to 30s) and
executes the MLB. Note: In the first execution period, the eNodeB
does not execute MLB.
 When the eNodeB determines that the load in the serving cell is
low, that is, the load is lower than the threshold for a period
specified by Pdelay (5s), the eNodeB stops MLB. Then, the
eNodeB continues to measure and determine the load in real time.
Load Monitoring Using Ue Number
 Number of synchronized UEs in a cell (regardless of service types)
 The MLB triggering basis is the number of synchronized UEs.
 MlbTriggerMode = UE_NUMBER_ONLY
 InterFreqMlbUeNumThd = 65 for TDD20
 InterFreqMlbUeNumThd = 20 for TDD10
 InterFreqMlbUeNumThd = 35 for L1800
 InterFreqMlbUeNumThd = 10 for L2100
 InterFreqMlbUeNumThd = 10 for L900
 MlbUeNumOffset = 5
 UeNumDiffThd = 5% for TDD10, L2100 & L900
 UeNumDiffThd = 15% for TDD20 & L1800

 Resource Balancing | UE Selection
UE Selection
Number of UEs to be transferred
After enodeb select the target cell, enodeb will select which
kind of ue will be move to other cells, the criteria will be :
Maximum number of UEs to be transferred =
1. UE is in sync state
Min(Delta_N, Ns – CellMLB.InterFreqMlbUeNumThd + 1,
2. Enodeb can select the ue based on radio quality (only if
FreqSelectStrategy = FAIRSTRATEGY) CellMLB.MlbMaxUeNum)
Ns denotes the number of UEs in the serving cell.
SnrBasedUeSelectionMode= Random SnrBasedUeSelectionMode= Best Delta_N denotes the number of UEs to be transferred to
achieve load equalization. If multiple target cells are available,

L2300=6 L2300=6
the minimum number of UEs to be transferred is applied

Dedicated Priority Management Cell Selection Strategy

When there are overlapping neighboring cells, for which the

TDD20
UE will move to FDD after MLB Threshold EutranInterFreqNCell.OverlapInd parameter is set to YES, the cell is
1 an overlapping neighboring cell. Otherwise, candidate cells are
trigger and reach UeNumDiffThd
L1800 selected depending on the CellMLB.LoadBalanceNCellScope
parameter setting.

After ue successfully move to FDD and finished using data, RRC
