When neighbouring DRNC or CN do not support
relocation, anchoring is supported in Nokia SRNC only for
CS RT services, PS RT data services and for PS NRT
data services in CELL_DCH state.
In multivendor cases this will lead to limited functionality
related to mobility over RNC border between different
vendors RNS if the other vendor uses SRNC anchoring

The packet access procedure in WCDMA should keep the interference caused to other users as small as
possible. Since there is no connection between the base station and the UE before the access procedure, initial
access is not closed loop power controlled and thus the information transmitted during this period should be kept
at minimum.
There are 3 scenarios for WCDMA packet access:
infrequent transmission of small packets
frequent transmission of small packets and
transmission of large packets
Packet data transfer in WCDMA can be performed using common, shared or
Paging Performance in 3G RU10
Soc Classification level
20 Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / Author / Date
Packet data transfer in WCDMA can be performed using common, shared or
dedicated transport channels.
Since the establishment of a dedicated transport channel itself requires signalling and thus consumes radio
resources, it is reasonable to transmit infrequent and small NRT user data packets using common transport
channels without closed loop power control. Then the random access channel (RACH) in UL and the forward
access channel (FACH) in DL are the transport channels used for packet access
When the packet data is transferred on common channels, the UE is in CELL_FACH state.
Large or frequent user data blocks are transmitted using shared or dedicated transport channels
(DCH). When the packet data is performed on shared or dedicated channels, the UE is in
CELL_DCH state.
Paging Performance in 3G RU10
If UE has Multi-RAB allocated (voice call & NRT PS call) & PS
data inactivity detected in RNC L2, RNC triggers reconfiguration
from Cell_DCH to Cell_PCH on voice call release. UE stays in
Cell_PCH until new data is available in UL or DL L2 buffers. As
soon as certain traffic volume threshold is met, RNC may
reconfigure the connection to Cell_DCH.
Example: Transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH

Each UE in Cell-DCH or Cell_FACH substate is allocated
DMCU resources in RNC. In case of processing
shortage in DMCU units, RNC may move UE to Cell_PCH
and release all DSP resources in RNC.

Paging Performance
A terminal, once registered to a network, has been allocated a paging
group. For the paging group there are Paging Indicators (PI) which
appear periodically on the Paging Indicator Channel (PICH) when
there are paging messages for any of the terminals belonging to that
paging group. Once a PI has been detected, the terminal decodes the
next PCH frame transmitted on the Secondary CCPCH to see
whether there was a paging message intended for it. The terminal
may also need to decode the PCH in case the PI reception indicates
Paging Blocking
Soc Classification level
24 Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / Author / Date
may also need to decode the PCH in case the PI reception indicates
low reliability of the decision.
If network would like to contact into certain user (SIM card) a paging
procedure will took place. Paging type 1 can happen either due to
mobile terminated call or mobile terminated SMS.
First step is to find out where subscriber-B (the called party) is. This
means HLR enquiry to subscriber-Bs HLR. HLR will return VLR
address where subscriber-B is.
VLR will start and act as master to this paging procedure. VLR will
know subscriber-Bs location area level. VLR will send paging
command to relevant RNCs (via Iu-CS interface), who are handling
this LAC where subscriberB is.
Paging Performance in 3G & S-CCPCH config.
In the case that a single S-CCPCH has been configured for a cell, the TTI for the paging
transport channel is 10 ms while the transport block size is 80 bits and the transport block
set size is 1.
The S-CCPCH can be used to transmit the transport channels:
Forward Access Channel (FACH) and
Paging Channel (PCH).
Paging Blocking
Soc Classification level
25 Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / Author / Date
Paging Channel (PCH).
In the current implementation (see 3GPP 25.331), the PCH has the priority on FACH so that
FACH transport blocks can be sent only if the timeslot is not occupied by paging messages.
Thus, the maximum PCH throughput is 80 bits / 10 ms = 8 kbit/s.
Since the dimension of a paging message (including 1 paging record) is 80 bits, the
maximum paging rate is 100 paging/sec/cell.
Paging buffer
Each IMSI belongs to a paging group, according to the formula
Paging group = IMSI mod (DRX cycle length)
The paging occasions for each paging group can be
10 ms

10ms * DRX cycle length
In case no buffering is utilized, only 1 paging message related to each paging group would
be served at the end of each period of 10 ms * DRX cycle length.
Paging Performance - Paging buffer
In the current implementation (RAN04/RAN05), a buffer of 512 places stores the
paging messages. When a new paging message arrives and the next paging
occasion is already occupied, the paging message is stored in the first free paging
occasion belonging to the paging group.
The number of places reserved in the buffer to each paging group depends on a
hidden parameter and the DRX cycle length: M = window_size / DRX cycle length
With window_size=300 and DRX cycle length=32 M=9;
with window_size=300 and DRX cycle length=128 M=2.

NOTE: a paging can be buffered for M * DRX cycle length = 9 * 320 ms = 2.88 sec; this

PCH throughput: paging requests blocked
The number of transmitted pagings (on the radio interface) is:
paging_requests [pagings/hour] = 3600 * PCH_THROUGHPUT / (80 bits)
The number of paging attempts forwarded to be transmitted on PCH is:

PCH Loading Conclusions
Currently, PCH Load is still only10[%] at most.
Only linear trend of PCH Load increase can be seen
4% increase during the past 6 months, from 4% to 8%
Periodical check of PCH Load is necessary but still it
will not reach the max.

Calculations about PCH load can be used to plan the LA/RA areas BUT it should be noted that
the paging buffer handling analysis should be included as well.

24 kbps Paging Channel
Paging load/activity
- 8 kbps paging channel capacity is
implemented for (RU10)
- 24 kbps can be allocated for RU20 (ASW)
- Transport block size increase
- The stand alone 24kbps PCH is allocated on
S-CCPCH with SF128,
comparing 8 Kbps/SF256 (more PwR)

Average HSDPA throughput hardly affected by loss of 1 code, as CQI extremely seldom

To support higher paging capacity, the size of transport block for PCH is increased:
