1 Solution 1: Absolute CS Preference

This solution combines algorithms involved in the setup, processing, and release of CS+PS combined
services.
During the setup of CS+PS combined services

 Setting the bearer channel type and access rate for PS BE services
Two configurations can be used:
Configuration 1: Setting the bearer channel type and access rate for PS BE services to DCH0K
and prohibiting rate increase for PS BE services PS BE data cannot be transmitted when this
configuration is used.
If the duration of CS+PS combined services exceeds the heartbeat transmission time between the
terminal application and the server, the terminal application is in offline state after the call is
terminated.
Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC with BeInitBitrateTypeforCsPs set to DCH0K. Run the
RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH with
the DRA_CSPS_0K_RATE_UP_SWITCH check box under the DraSwitch2parameter deselected.
Configuration 2: Setting the bearer channel type and access rate for PS BE services to DCH8K
and prohibiting rate increase for PS BE services
This setting ensures data transmission for heartbeat packets but cannot ensure PS services such as
web browsing, instant message, email, and video services.
Compared with DCH0K, more SF128 code resources are consumed when DCH8K is used. This
configuration is recommended if code resources in the network are sufficient.
Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC with BeInitBitrateTypeforCsPs set to DCH8K, and with
both UlDchBeUpperLimitforAmr and DlDchBeUpperLimitforAmr set to D8.

NOTE:
You can also achieve this configuration by running the following command:
Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH with both
the MAP_CSPS_PS_UL_USE_DCH_SWITCH and MAP_CSPS_PS_DL_USE_DCH_SWITCH che
ck boxes under the MapSwitch parameter selected. Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC with
both UlDchBeUpperLimitforAmr and DlDchBeUpperLimitforAmr set to D8.

 Solving problems caused by concurrent procedures during the setup of CS+PS combined services
Set the process optimization switches for the following concurrent procedures to on: concurrence of
security mode control and cell updates, and concurrence of CS service setup and F2D state
transition (CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH). Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with
both the SECU_CU_CROSS_SWITCH and RB_CU_CROSS_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH check
boxes under the OptimizationSwitch2 parameter selected, and with
the AMR_F2D_OVERLAP_CELLUPT_SWITCH check box under
the OptimizationSwitch parameter selected. Run the RNC MML command SET
UCORRMPARA with thePERFENH_F2P_LIMIT_WITH_CS_IU_CON_SWITCH check box under
the PerfEnhanceSwitch1 parameter selected.
 Optimizing the setup of CS+PS combined services
If a UE in the CELL_FACH state initiates a CS+PS combined service, the Radio Link Control (RLC)
mode is changed to the acknowledged mode (AM). Run the RNC MML command SET
 URRCTRLSWITCH with theRB_SETUP_F2D_USE_AM_RLC_SWITCH check box under
the OptimizationSwitch4 parameter selected.
Set which report to be preferentially processed if intra-frequency measurement report and event
2D/2F report that are received at the same time during the setup of CS+PS combined services. Run
the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH with
the HO_INTRA_FREQ_HIGHPRIOR_2D2F_SWITCH check box under the HoSwitch parameter
selected.
 Optimizing the activation time during the setup of CS+PS combined services
The retransmission rate of signaling packets during the setup of CS+PS combined services and RB
reconfiguration is increased to ensure that more complete RB RECFG messages can be received
by a UE. Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLRLACTTIME with PacketReTransRatio set
to 8.
 (Optional) PS F2D prior to CS service setup in the CELL_FACH state
Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with
the CS_TRIG_PS_F2D_SWITCH check box under the OptimizationSwitch6 parameter selected.
This function is optional. After a UE that processes a PS service is switched to the CELL_FACH
state, the UE initiates a CS service setup request. In this scenario, the RB setup procedure is more
likely to overlap with the cell update procedure, causing the CS service setup to fail. After this
function is enabled, the RNC first switches the PS service to the CELL_DCH state before setting up
the CS service. This reduces the probability of overlapped RB setup and cell update, increasing the
CS RAB setup success rate but prolonging the CS service access by about 1s. This function is
recommended if you need to ensure the CS RAB setup success rate but do not worry about a
longer access delay.
 (Optional) Call reestablishment during RB setup
Run the RNC MML command LST URRCTRLSWITCH to query whether
the SRB_RESET_RL_SETUP_SWITCH, RLFAIL_RL_SETUP_SWITCH,
and CS_RL_SETUP_SWITCH check boxes under the OptimizationSwitchparameter are selected.
If they are, run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with
the RB_SETUP_ENHANCE_RL_REEST_SWITCH check box under
the PROCESSSWITCH4 parameter selected.
This function is optional. After this function is enabled, the delay caused by previous failed RB
setups prolongs. You can configure this function based on actual network conditions. This function
is recommended if call reestablishment for CS services has been enabled in the network.
During the processing of CS+PS combined services

 Setting conditions for channel type change and rate increase for PS BE services
The conditions have been set when the RNC sets the bearer channel type and access rate for PS
BE services during the setup of CS+PS combined services.
 Optimizing the link reestablishment function
If the call reestablishment function has been enabled for CS services, that is,
the CS_RL_SETUP_SWITCH check box under the OptimizationSwitch parameter has been
selected, run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMPARAwith both
the PERFENH_RLRESETUP_GUARANTEE_SWITCH and PERFENH_RLRESETUP_PREEMPT_
SWITCH check boxes under the PerfEnhanceSwitch3 parameter selected. In this way, channel
fallback and preemption can be initiated if admission fails during the link reestablishment.
During the release of CS+PS combined services
  Fast state transition to CELL_FACH for PS BE UEs after a CS service release if there is no PS BE
data to transmit
After this function is enabled, UEs processing PS BE services do not need to wait for the decision
for state transmission if there is no PS BE data to transmit. Instead, the UE can quickly transit to the
CELL_FACH state. Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH with
the DRA_PS_STATE_TRANS_WHEN_CS_REL_SWITCH check box under
the DraSwitch2 parameter selected.
 (Optional) Optimized PS service release
The RNC does not release PS RABs for inactive UEs after the PS user inactivity timer has expired,
which reduces the CS call drops during PS service release. Run the RNC MML command SET
URRCTRLSWITCH with the PS_INACT_NOTREL_FOR_CSPS_SWITCH check box under
the PROCESSSWITCH3 parameter selected.
This function is optional. You do not need to configure this function if the PS user inactivity timer
(specified by the PsInactTmrForInt or PsInactTmrForBac parameter) is set to a value greater than
600s or the enhanced fast dormancy algorithm is enabled (the FAST_DORMANCY_SWITCH check
box under the PROCESSSWITCH parameter is selected).
 Call reestablishment during RB release
If the call reestablishment function has been enabled for CS services, run the RNC MML
command LST URRCTRLSWITCH to check whether
the SRB_RESET_RL_SETUP_SWITCH, RLFAIL_RL_SETUP_SWITCH,
andCS_RL_SETUP_SWITCH check boxes under the OptimizationSwitch parameter are selected.
If they are, run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with
the RB_REL_RL_REEST_SWITCH check box under thePROCESSSWITCH4 parameter selected.

3.1.4.2 Solution 2: Considering the Experience of PS BE Users

The RNC adjusts the bearer channel type f PS BE services in real time based on the traffic volume of PS
BE services. If PS BE data needs to be transmitted, the RNC reconfigures PS BE services to HSPA
channels. This increases signaling interactions for CS+PS combined services and therefore increases the
risk of call drops for the CS service in CS+PS combined services. Before using this solution, you are
advised to enable the call reestablishment feature for CS services. For details about how to enable this
feature, see Call Reestablishment Feature Parameter Description.
This solution combines algorithms involved in the setup, processing, and release of CS+PS combined
services.
During the setup of CS+PS combined services

 Setting the bearer channel type and access rate for PS BE services
During the setup of CS+PS combined services, the bearer channel type and access rate for PS BE
services can be set to DCH0K, DCH8K, or DCH8K/HSDPA. You can also set no limit on the initial
rate for PS BE services. It is recommended that DCH8K be used and the dynamic initiate rate
allocation function be enabled for the PS BE services in a CS+PS combined service. It is
recommended that the switch controlling adaptive configuration of initial rate type for PS BE
services in combined services be turned on to alleviate the downlink power and code resource
congestion caused by the use of DCH8K.Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC with
the BeInitBitrateTypeforCsPsparameter set to DCH8K. Run the RNC MML command SET
UCORRMPARA with the PERFENH_DYC_INIBITRATE_MULTI_SWITCH check box under
the PerfEnhanceSwitch3 parameter selected.Run the RNC MML commandSET
UCORRMALGOSWITCH with the DRA_CSPS_BE_INIT_OPT_SWITCH check box under
the DraSwitch2 parameter selected.
 NOTE:
If the number of CS users in a cell exceeds 40 during busy hours, use DCH0K or DCH8K/HSDPA. If
DCH8K/HSDPA is used, set the initial rate for PS BE services to DCH0K if a PS BE UE in the
CELL_PCH state needs to initiate a CS service. Run the RNC MML command SET
URRCTRLSWITCH with the CS_SETUP_P2D_SWITCH check box under
the OptimizationSwitch parameter selected. Run the RNC MML command SET
UCORRMPARA with both the PERFENH_P2D_LIMIT_ON_DCH_LOWRATE_SWITCH
PERFENH_CS_TRIG_PS_P2D_ZERO_SWITCH check boxes under
the PerfEnhanceSwitch1 parameter selected.

 Solving problems caused by concurrent procedures during the setup of CS+PS combined services
Set the process optimization switches for the following concurrent procedures to on: concurrence of
security mode control and cell updates, and concurrence of CS service setup and F2D state
transition (CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH). Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with
both the SECU_CU_CROSS_SWITCH and RB_CU_CROSS_COMPATIBLE_SWITCH check
boxes under the OptimizationSwitch2 parameter selected, and with
the AMR_F2D_OVERLAP_CELLUPT_SWITCH check box under
the OptimizationSwitch parameter selected. Run the RNC MML command SET
UCORRMPARA with thePERFENH_F2P_LIMIT_WITH_CS_IU_CON_SWITCH check box under
the PerfEnhanceSwitch1 parameter selected.
 Optimizing the setup of CS+PS combined services
If a UE in the CELL_FACH state initiates a CS+PS combined service, the RLC mode is changed to
the AM. Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with
the RB_SETUP_F2D_USE_AM_RLC_SWITCH check box under
the OptimizationSwitch4 parameter selected.
Set which report to be preferentially processed if intra-frequency measurement report and event
2D/2F report that are received at the same time during the setup of CS+PS combined services. Run
the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH with
the HO_INTRA_FREQ_HIGHPRIOR_2D2F_SWITCH check box under the HoSwitch parameter
selected.
 Optimizing the activation time during the setup of CS+PS combined services
The retransmission rate of signaling packets during the setup of CS+PS combined services and RB
reconfiguration is increased to ensure that more complete RB RECFG messages can be received
by a UE. Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLRLACTTIME with PacketReTransRatio set
to 8.
 (Optional) PS F2D prior to CS service setup in the CELL_FACH state
Run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with
the CS_TRIG_PS_F2D_SWITCH check box under the OptimizationSwitch6 parameter selected.
This function is optional. After a UE that processes a PS service is switched to the CELL_FACH
state, the UE initiates a CS service setup request. In this scenario, the RB setup procedure is more
likely to overlap with the cell update procedure, causing the CS service setup to fail. After this
function is enabled, the RNC first switches the PS service to the CELL_DCH state before setting up
the CS service. This reduces the probability of overlapped RB setup and cell update, increasing the
CS RAB setup success rate but prolonging the CS service access by about 1s. This function is
recommended if you need to ensure the CS RAB setup success rate but do not worry about a
longer access delay.
 (Optional) Call reestablishment during RB setup
 Run the RNC MML command LST URRCTRLSWITCH to query whether
the SRB_RESET_RL_SETUP_SWITCH, RLFAIL_RL_SETUP_SWITCH,
and CS_RL_SETUP_SWITCH check boxes under the OptimizationSwitchparameter are selected.
If yes, run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with
the RB_SETUP_RL_REEST_SWITCH and RB_SETUP_ENHANCE_RL_REEST_SWITCH check
boxes under the PROCESSSWITCH4parameter selected.
This function is optional. After this function is enabled, the delay caused by previous failed RB
setups prolongs. You can configure this function based on actual network conditions. This function
is recommended if call reestablishment for CS services has been enabled in the network.
During the processing of CS+PS combined services

 Setting conditions for channel type change and rate increase for PS BE services
Set the upper limit of data rate for CS+PS combined services carried on the DCH and set the
conditions for rate increase and channel type change.
To set the upper limit of data rate for CS+PS combined services carried on the DCH, run the RNC
MML SET UFRC with both
the UlDchBeUpperLimitforAmr and DlDchBeUpperLimitforAmr parameters set to D16.
To lift the limit on rate increase and channel type change, run the RNC MML command SET
UCORRMALGOSWITCH with the DRA_CSPS_0K_RATE_UP_SWITCH check box under
the DraSwitch2 parameter selected, with both
the MAP_CSPS_PS_UL_USE_DCH_SWITCH and MAP_CSPS_PS_DL_USE_DCH_SWITCH che
ck boxes under the MapSwitch parameter deselected.
To prohibit periodic channel retry, run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH with
the DRA_CSPS_NO_PERIOD_RETRY_SWITCH check box under the DraSwitch parameter
selected. This command does not take effect on traffic volume-based rate increase.
To set the weak coverage threshold for HSPA serving cell change, run the RNC MML
command SET UHOCOMM with the WeakCovHSPAQualThds parameter set to -14.
The upper limit of data rate for CS+PS combined services carried on the DCH must be higher than
the 8 kbit/s for service setup so that rate increase can be triggered by event 4A. It is recommended
that the upper limit of data rate be set to 16 kbit/s. If the uplink upper limit of data rate for CS+PS
combined services carried on the DCH (UlDchBeUpperLimitforAmr) is set to a large value, CE
resource consumption increases because the amount of CE resources allocated to the DCH is fixed.
If the downlink upper limit of data rate for CS+PS combined services carried on the DCH
(DlDchBeUpperLimitforAmr) is set to a large value, more code resources are consumed and the
number of call drops increases when the downlink coverage for a CS+PS combined service is 3 dB
worse than a single CS service.
NOTE:
If the uplink external interference is strong or the uplink RTWP is high, use only HSUPA 10 ms TTI
for PS services in CS+PS combined services or prohibit CS+PS combined services from using
HSUPA channels. If rate increase to HSDPA is performed in the subsequent procedure, set the CQI
for CS+PS combined services to a larger value.
To use only HSUPA 10 ms TTI for PS services in CS+PS combined services,
run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH with the MAP
_CSPS_TTI_2MS_LIMIT_SWITCH check box under the MapSwitch parameter selected.
If HSUPA cannot be used for CS+PS combined services:
The uplink rate on the DCH can be increased to 128 kbit/s or higher, which consumes more uplink
CE resource because the amount of CE resources allocated to the DCH is fixed. Due to the code
resource consumption and coverage differences, it is recommended that the downlink rate on the
 DCH be equal to or lower than 16 kbit/s. Run the RNC MML command SET
UCORRMALGOSWITCH with the MAP_CSPS_PS_UL_USE_DCH_SWITCH check box under
the MapSwitch parameter selected. Run the RNC MML command SET
UFRC with UlDchBeUpperLimitforAmr set to D128 and with DlDchBeUpperLimitforAmr set
to D16.
Set the CQI for CS+PS combined services:
Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH with
the PC_CQI_CYCLE_BASE_CS_PLUS_PS_SWITCH check box under the PcSwitch parameter
selected. Then run the RNC MML command ADD UCELLHSDPCCH with
the CQIFBckBaseCsCombServ parameter set to D20.

 Optimizing the rate increase and decrease procedures for CS+PS combined services
Optimize simultaneous uplink and downlink rate increase for CS+PS combined services and support
channel fallback for the HSPA services in CS+PS combined services. It is recommended that the
switch controlling adaptive configuration of low-activity rate be turned on to alleviate the downlink
power and code resource congestion caused by the use of DCH8K.
Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH with
the DRA_CSPS_BOTH_ULDL_RATE_UP_SWITCH check box under the DraSwitch2 parameter
selected.
Run the RNC MML command SET UDCCC with LittleRateChlFlBkForCSPS set
to HSPA_FALLBACK and with LittleRateThd set to D8.
Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH with
the DRA_BE_LITTLE_RATE_OPT_SWITCH check box under the DraSwitch2 parameter selected.
 (Optional) Cell load-based rate increase for PS BE services
Rate increase is allowed only when the uplink and downlink cell loads are lower than a threshold.
Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMPARA with
the PERFENH_CSPS_NO_RATEUP_IN_CONJ_SWITCH check box under
the PerfEnhanceSwitch1 parameter selected. The decision thresholds for cell uplink and downlink
loads can be set by the following
parameters: MultiRabUlDcccLoadFactor, MultiRabDlDcccLoadFactor, UlLdrTrigThd,
andDlLdrTrigThd. The default values are recommended.
This function is optional. If the cell load exceeds a threshold, rate increase cannot be performed for
PS BE services in CS+PS combined services and the remaining resources in the cell are allocated
to services other than CS+PS combined services. If PS BE services are carried on DCH8K, PS BE
data cannot be transmitted and the experience of PS BE UEs is affected. Set this function based on
actual network conditions.
 Call reestablishment during physical channel reconfiguration and RB reconfiguration
If the call reestablishment function has been enabled for CS services, run the RNC MML
command LST URRCTRLSWITCH to query whether
the SRB_RESET_RL_SETUP_SWITCH, RLFAIL_RL_SETUP_SWITCH,
andCS_RL_SETUP_SWITCH check boxes under the OptimizationSwitch parameter are selected.
If yes, run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with
the PHY_RECFG_REEST_SWITCH,PHYCHRECFG_ENH_RL_REEST_SWITCH,
and RBRECFG_ENH_RL_REEST_SWITCH check boxes under
the PROCESSSWITCH4 parameter selected, with the RB_RECFG_RL_REEST_SWITCH check
box under theOptimizationSwitch parameter selected, and with
the NON_DCCC_RBRECFG_RL_REEST_SWITCH check box under
the ImprovementSwitch parameter selected.
 Optimizing the link reestablishment function
 If the call reestablishment function has been enabled for CS services, that is,
the CS_RL_SETUP_SWITCH check box under the OptimizationSwitch parameter has been
selected, run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMPARAwith both
the PERFENH_RLRESETUP_GUARANTEE_SWITCH and PERFENH_RLRESETUP_PREEMPT_
SWITCH check boxes under the PerfEnhanceSwitch3 parameter selected. In this way, channel
fallback and preemption can be initiated if admission fails during the link reestablishment.

During the release of CS+PS combined services

 Fast state transition to CELL_FACH for PS BE UEs after a CS service release if there is no PS BE
data to transmit
After this function is enabled, UEs processing PS BE services do not need to wait for the decision
for state transmission if there is no PS BE data to transmit. Instead, the UE can quickly transit to the
CELL_FACH state. Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH with
the DRA_PS_STATE_TRANS_WHEN_CS_REL_SWITCH check box under
the DraSwitch2 parameter selected.
 (Optional) Optimized PS service release
The RNC does not release PS RABs for inactive UEs after the PS user inactivity timer has expired,
which reduces the CS call drops during PS service release. Run the RNC MML command SET
URRCTRLSWITCH with thePS_INACT_NOTREL_FOR_CSPS_SWITCH check box under
the PROCESSSWITCH3 parameter selected.
This function is optional. You do not need to configure this function if the PS user inactivity timer
(specified by the PsInactTmrForInt or PsInactTmrForBac parameter) is set to a value greater than
600s or the enhanced fast dormancy algorithm is enabled (the FAST_DORMANCY_SWITCH check
box under the PROCESSSWITCH parameter is selected).
 Call reestablishment during RB release
If the call reestablishment function has been enabled for CS services, run the RNC MML
command LST URRCTRLSWITCH to check whether
the SRB_RESET_RL_SETUP_SWITCH, RLFAIL_RL_SETUP_SWITCH,
andCS_RL_SETUP_SWITCH check boxes under the OptimizationSwitch parameter are selected.
If they are, run the RNC MML command SET URRCTRLSWITCH with
the RB_REL_RL_REEST_SWITCH check box under thePROCESSSWITCH4 parameter selected.
