Context

Using F-DPCH multiplexing, this feature enables downlink signaling radio bearers (SRBs) of multiple
users to be carried over HSDPA. This helps reduce downlink code resource consumption and call setup
delay.
During radio access bearer (RAB) setup, SRBs can be carried over HSDPA only when all the downlink
services of the UE are carried on the HSDPA channels. During radio resource control (RRC) connection
setup, this feature can be activated by performing the following operations:

Procedure

 Activation Procedure
1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UFRCCHLTYPEPARA (CME single
configuration: UMTS Radio Global Configuration Express > Basic Resource Control
Parameter Configuration > Channel Type Parameters; CME batch modification center:
Modifying RNC Parameters in Batches) to set Type of Channel Preferably Carrying
Signaling RB to HSDPA(UL_DCH,DL_HSDSCH) or HSPA(UL_EDCH,DL_HSDSCH).
2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UFRCCHLTYPEPARA (CME single
configuration: UMTS Radio Global Configuration Express > Basic Resource Control
Parameter Configuration > Channel Type Parameters; CME batch modification center:
 Modifying RNC Parameters in Batches) to set the phase at which this feature is activated
by means of the Effective Flag of Signaling RB Channel Type parameter.

NOTE:
 If Effective Flag of Signaling RB Channel Type is set to False, this feature is
activated during RAB setup. Recommended Value is False.
 If Effective Flag of Signaling RB Channel Type is set to TRUE, this feature is
activated during RRC connection setup.

3. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH (CME single

configuration: UMTS Cell Configuration Express > Cell Parameters > Cell Algorithm
Switches; CME batch modification center: Modifying UMTS Cell Parameters in Batches)
to set the E_F_DPCH is activated by means of the Cell Hspa Enhanced function
switch parameter.

NOTE:
 If Cell Hspa Enhanced function switch is set to E_F_DPCH_ON, E_F_DPCH is

Configuring Enhanced Fast Dormancy
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature WRFD-020500
Enhanced Fast Dormancy. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME.)

Prerequisites

 Dependencies on Hardware
 This feature does not have any special requirements for hardware.
 Dependencies on Other Features
 This feature does not depend on other features.
 License
 The license controlling this feature has been activated. For details on how to activate the
license, see Activating the UMTS License. For details about license items, see Feature
Activation and License Item Descriptions.

NOTE:
The license must be activated by performing the following operation first:
Run the BSC6900 MML command SET LICENSE to set Fast Dormancy Enhancement-
per PS Active User to an appropriate value.

 Other Prerequisites
It is good practice to maintain load balancing among all frequencies in the network when using
this feature, if the network is a service-layered network as follows and RSVDBIT1_BIT29 of the
Reserved parameter 1 in the SET URRCTRLSWITCH command is set to 0, in order to reduce
the call drops for UEs in the CELL_FACH state that support fast dormancy, Wait RB
reconfiguration response timer and RL restoration timer in the SET USTATETIMER
command need to be set to 11000 and 15000 respectively.
 Frequency F1 carries R99 services.
 Frequency F2 carries HSPA services.
 F2 does not allow UEs in the idle, CELL_FACH, or CELL_PCH state to camp on.

Context

As the number of smartphones keeps increasing in mobile networks, the networks face signaling storms
produced by these UEs. With rich experience in network optimization, Huawei provides a comprehensive
end-to-end solution to respond to network challenges based on network characteristics.
This feature is a component of the comprehensive solution. Deploying this feature only cannot solve the
signaling storm problem produced by smartphones. Operators should use this feature together with
professional services to optimize the quality of service of the entire network.

CAUTION:
 Consult Huawei engineers about the comprehensive solution to obtain professional technical
support.
 Huawei engineers will recommend appropriate parameter settings for this feature based on the
network conditions.
  Do not configure the parameters related to this feature without Huawei professional technical
support. Inappropriate parameter settings may lead to network failures.

Always on line can be provided for PS services of intelligent UEs to improve user experience. Always on
line, however, will increase the power consumption of intelligent UEs. To prolong UE battery life, the Fast
Dormancy feature is introduced. When there is no PS data transfer, the UE will send a signaling
connection release indication (SCRI) message to request the BSC6900 to release the RRC connection
and move the UE state to IDLE mode, CELL_PCH, or URA_PCH.
If this feature is not enabled, the BSC6900 will move the UE state to IDLE mode after the BSC6900
receives an SCRI message from the UE or the UE inactivity timer expires. If UEs are frequently switched
between RRC connected states and IDLE mode, signaling storms occur.
If this feature is enabled, the BSC6900 will move the UE to the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state instead of
the IDLE mode under either of the following conditions, reducing signaling processing costs:
 The BSC6900 receives an SCRI message from the UE.
 The CELL_FACH/CELL_DCH inactivity timer on the BSC6900 expires.

Procedure

 Activation Procedure (The UE supporting fast dormancy is a Pre-Release 8 UE)

1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the feature
Enhanced Fast Dormancy at the BSC6900-level. In this step, select the
FAST_DORMANCY_SWITCH under PROCESSSWITCH.
2. Run the BSC6900 MML commandSET URRCTRLSWITCH to select the
RNC_PS_QUERY_UE_IMEI_SWITCH under PROCESSSWITCH2.
3. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable cell update during
CS service setup. In this step, clear the RSVDBIT1_BIT21 check box under Reserved
Parameter 1.

NOTE:
After this feature is enabled, the number of CELL_DCH-to-CELL_FACH (D2F)
procedures performed increases.Set this parameter when a UE in the CELL_FACH state
sets up a CS service associated with cell reselection. The switch RSVDBIT1_BIT21
specifies whether to allow cell update during CS service setup. When the switch is turned
on, for UEs that are establishing AMR services and shifting from the CELL_FACH state to
the CELL_DCH state, the RNC stops establishing AMR services to handle cell update if
the RNC receives from the UEs a cell update message containing the cause value "cell
reselection."

4. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the state transition
from CELL_PCH or URA_PCH to CELL_DCH triggered by FACH congestion. In this step,
clear the RSVDBIT1_BIT20 check box under Reserved Parameter 1.

NOTE:
After this feature is enabled, the FACH will carry a large amount of data, which may lead
to FACH congestion. Therefore, it is recommended that a new SCCPCH be added.
For details about how to handle FACH congestion in other methods, see section "FACH
Congestion Control" in the Flow Control in the RAN Feature Documentation.

5. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UPSINACTTIMER to set the value of the
CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH, and CELL_PCH inactivity timer respectively.
  The recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_DCH is 5
seconds.
 The recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_FACH is 5
seconds.
 The recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_PCH is
1800 seconds.

NOTE:
This document provide the recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in
CELL_DCH, the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_FACH, and the FAST
DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_PCH.

6. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UUESTATETRANS. In this step, set Fast
Dormancy User FACH/E_FACH2DCH/HSPA 4A Threshold to D1024.
7. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the Type Allocation
Code (TAC) match function. In this step, select the FD_TAC_MATCH_SWITCH under
PROCESSSWITCH.
8. Run the BSC6900 MML commandADD UIMEITAC to set the value of the TAC to add the
IMEI TACs of smartphones to the whitelist, set the The function of the TAC to
Fast_Dormancy, and set the Fast Dormancy Switch to ON.
9. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD TRMFACTOR and MOD ADJMAP to change the
Iu-PS activity factor. The recommended value of the Iu-PS activity factor is 10%. If the
configured Iu-PS activity factor is smaller than 10%, retain the configured value.

NOTE:
After this feature is enabled, the number of UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state
increases sharply. UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state consume a large number of
Iu-PS bandwidth resources although they do not transmit any data.
Adjusting the Iu-PS activity factor can prevent PS service admission failures due to the
increase in the number of UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state.

CAUTION:
The Iu-PS activity factor of all services must be set to an appropriate value. Otherwise, a
large number of PS service setups fail, and the CPU usage of the SPU boards increases
sharply.

 Activation Procedure (The UE supporting fast dormancy is a Release 8 or later Release UE)
1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the feature
Enhanced Fast Dormancy at the BSC6900-level. In this step, select the
FAST_DORMANCY_SWITCH under PROCESSSWITCH.
2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UCONNMODETIMER to set the value of the
Timer 323.

NOTE:
If the UE supporting fast dormancy is a Release 8 or later Release UE, you need to set
timer 323 after enabling fast dormancy. When the network supports the CELL_PCH or
URA_PCH, it is good practice to set timer 323 to 120s. When the network does not
support CELL_PCH or URA_PCH, it is good practice to set timer 323 to 10s.
3. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable cell update during
CS service setup. In this step, clear the RSVDBIT1_BIT21 check box under Reserved
Parameter 1.

NOTE:
After this feature is enabled, the number of CELL_DCH-to-CELL_FACH (D2F)
procedures performed increases. Set this parameter when a UE in the CELL_FACH state
sets up a CS service associated with cell reselection. The switch RSVDBIT1_BIT21
specifies whether to allow cell update during CS service setup. When the switch is turned
on, for UEs that are establishing AMR services and shifting from the CELL_FACH state to
the CELL_DCH state, the RNC stops establishing AMR services to handle cell update if
the RNC receives from the UEs a cell update message containing the cause value "cell
reselection."

4. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the state transition
from CELL_PCH or URA_PCH to CELL_DCH triggered by FACH congestion. In this step,
clear the RSVDBIT1_BIT20 check box under Reserved Parameter 1.

NOTE:
After this feature is enabled, the FACH will carry a large amount of data, which may lead
to FACH congestion. Therefore, it is recommended that a new SCCPCH be added.
For details about how to handle FACH congestion in other methods, see section "FACH
Congestion Control" in the Flow Control in the RAN Feature Documentation.

5. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UPSINACTTIMER to set the value of the
CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH, and CELL_PCH inactivity timer respectively.
 The recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_DCH is 5
seconds.
 The recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_FACH is 5
seconds.
 The recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_PCH is
1800 seconds.

NOTE:
This document provide the recommended value of the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in
CELL_DCH, the FAST DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_FACH, and the FAST
DORMANCY USER T1 in CELL_PCH.

6. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UUESTATETRANS. In this step, set Fast
Dormancy User FACH/E_FACH2DCH/HSPA 4A Threshold to D1024.
7. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH to enable the Type Allocation
Code (TAC) match function. In this step, select the FD_TAC_MATCH_SWITCH under
PROCESSSWITCH.
8. Optional: To enable this feature only for UEs of Release 8 or later versions on the live
network, Run the BSC6900 MML commandRMV UIMEITAC to remove the TAC values
for these UEs.
9. Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD TRMFACTOR and MOD ADJMAP to change the
Iu-PS activity factor. The recommended value of the Iu-PS activity factor is 10%. If the
configured Iu-PS activity factor is smaller than 10%, retain the configured value.

NOTE:
 After this feature is enabled, the number of UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state
increases sharply. UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state consume a large number of
Iu-PS bandwidth resources although they do not transmit any data.
Adjusting the Iu-PS activity factor can prevent PS service admission failures due to the
increase in the number of UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state.

CAUTION:
The Iu-PS activity factor of all services must be set to an appropriate value. Otherwise, a
large number of PS service setups fail, and the CPU usage of the SPU boards increases
sharply.

 Verification Procedure
1. Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP LICUSAGE to query the state of the license for
this feature. If the result shown in Figure 1 is returned, the license for this feature has
been configured.
