Foreword
z
Paging is associated with the paging success rate of the
network. It’s closely related to the whole network
performance. This KPI can be optimized by means of
“paging test” and the consequent trouble-shooting based on
paging failure analysis.

DRX Procedure

UE receives the paging indicator on PICH periodically, that
is the Discontinuous Reception (DRX)
z
The value for the DRX paging cycle length is determined as
follows: :
DRX Cycle Length = MAX (2k, PBP) frames

DRX Procedure (Cont.)
z
Through DRX, UE only listens to PICH at certain predefined
time. And UE will read the paging information on SCCPCH if
the paging indicator is 1.
z
The value of the Paging Occasion is determined as follows:
Paging Occasion (CELL SFN) =
{(IMSI div K) mod (DRX cycle length div PBP)} * PBP
+ n * DRX cycle length + Frame Offset
Copyright © 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.
Page33
DRX Procedure (Cont.)
z
In FDD the UE shall monitor its paging indicator in the PICH
frame with SFN given by the Paging Occasion
z
The Page Indicator to use is calculated by using the
following formula:
PI = (IMSI div 8192) mod NP

may be sent in multi cells, which will overload the paging
channel as well as increasing signaling flow at the Iub interface

which will increase signaling flow of the system. Moreover,

Problem Analysis
‡
Considering improving call connection rate, CN side can be
configured with whole-network paging, which bears the characteristics
that paging has overridden the concept of location area
area, and is
initiated specific to all UTRANs suspended under whole CN
‡
In this case, paging traffic becomes larger, especially when multiple
location areas are suspended under CN, the location areas with
smaller capacity will be overloaded, and can not recover for a long
time

Questions:
‡
Suppose that the CN paging repeat time is 1 (totally

UTRAN repeat times and the intervals be set?

Page63
Improper setting of Np value
z
Problem Analysis
‡
Np refers to PI paging indication number delivered in a certain frame by paging
indication channel PICH, the value of which is within the range of (18, 36, 72,
144), which is indicated by Number of PI per frame in SIB5, UE will receive
PICH frame at the specified paging time and find the corresponding PI
indicator bit (the qth PI). Only when the corresponding PI indicator bit is
effective, UE demodulates the corresponding S-CCPCH frame
⎛
Np ⎥ ⎞
⎢
q = ⎜⎜ PI + ⎢((18 × (SFN + ⎣SFN / 8⎦ + ⎣SFN / 64⎦ + ⎣SFN / 512⎦)) mod 144 ) ×
⎥ ⎟⎟ mod Np
144
⎣
⎦⎠
⎝
‡
Significance of Np in the actual network: IMSI is divided into Np groups by this
parameter, and all IMSIs in each group adopt the same PI
Copyright © 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.
Page64
Improper setting of Np value
z
Influences of Np value on network
‡
If Np value is too small, the corresponding UE number in each group
will be larger. For each IMSI, if the probability that PI indication occurs
increases times that IMSI is waken up will increase
increases,
increase, which is no good
in saving UE power
‡
If Np value is too large, the corresponding IMSI number in each group
will be smaller. For each IMSI, if the probability that PI indication
occurs decreases, times that IMSI is waken up will decrease.
However if Np is larger
However,
larger, the bit number of each PI will decrease and
PICH demodulation performance of UE will be required higher

Problem Analysis
‡
When UE is in IDLE state, CN can only page 3 UEs at the same paging time
using IMSI
‡
When UE is in IDLE state, CN can only page 5 UEs at the same paging time
using TMSI or PTMSI
‡
When UE is in CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state, no matter what paging identifier
CN uses, UTRAN transfers UE identifier to U-RNTI and pages, it can only page
five UEs at the same paging time

‡
The current baseline power allocation: PICH is -3dB and PCH
is -2dB, which are both relative to pilot channels power.
‡
Improve the power allocation between PICH and PCH properly
‡
Check and modify PICH power by using MML Command LST
CHPWROFFSET and MOD PICHPWROFFSET on RNC

UE fails both in calling and being called, the signal strength shown in
UE panel is low
low, and RSCP and EC/IO of pilot signals tested with the
drive test equipment are lower than indexes required for UE normal
access, by which coverage dead zone is identified in this area
