Dual Cell Procedures

Introduction
Objective
Define procedure to define Dual Cell procedures

Key Points
UARFCN F1 (10622), F2 (10597), F3 (10572)
Preferred service F1 (R99), F2 (HSPA), F3 (HSPA)
Preferred layer F1 (non-data card UE), F2 (data card UE)
Local Cell Group F1 (1), F2 (2), F3 (2)
Inter-frequency handover F2 to F1 and F3 to F1. Define co-site F1 ADJI on F2 and F3 cells.

Layering Strategy
Carrier Layering
Layer F1 is set to non-HSPA layer (F1 is the preferred overall layer)
Layer F2 is set to HSPA layer (F2 is the preferred HSPA layer)
Layer F3 is set to HSPA layer

Zain Data Card User

User creates PDP session on F1
DRRC HSDPA direct the call from F1 to F2 (or F3 if F3 is the more
attractive cell)
User will be camping in F2 or/and F3 based on HSPA layer load
balancing and dual cell feature

Zain Mobile Data User

User creates PDP session on F1
DRRC HSDPA direct the call from F1 to F2 (or F3 if F3 is the more
attractive cell)
User will be camping in F2 or F3 based on HSPA layer load
balancing
User will perform Inter-frequency handover from F2/F3 to F1
when voice call is made (RSCP -70, EcNo -10)

ADJI/ADJG

ADJI F3 to F1 and F2 to F1 (co-site, one way only)
