Summary of Observations
RACH parameters template with sub optimal settings, call setup with maximum
RACH attempts failure detected.
Cases of RRC rejection due to congestion detected.
Cases of failure due to reaching Max allowed RRC connection request seen.
Some access fails detected with missing CC Alert or CC Connect (bad MT call).
Different call setup time seen between RNC1 and RNC4, caused by different
SRB channel type selected (FACH vs. DCH).
Different SRB mapping is seen between both RNC in RRC phase (HSPA vs.
DCH).

Setting Tradeoff: If set too large, the preamble initial transmit power may be larger than needed for
reliable detection at the Node B. This causes unnecessary uplink interference

RACH Message
data part
The Preamble is used to synchronize the physical layers of the UE (Tx) and the NodeB (Rx).
Physical layer synchronization means that the NodeB has detected the location (time and
frequency) of the UEs signal and demodulated it.
After synchronization, the NodeB sends an acknowledgment on the AICH channel and the UE
then transmits the message part of the RACH message. This can be the RRC Connection Request
and is decoded by the RRC layer.

RACH Performance
RACH Simulation
RACH parameters were extracted for each vendor from the filed test logs.
To simulate RACH performance, fixed Radio condition will be assumed and cell
edge conditions will be chosen to demonstrate the performance in poor radio
conditions.
Moderately high UL load will be assumed to consider Busy hour performance.

Considering average busy hour UL interference of -98dBm, as observed in the test logs and under cell edge
conditions (e.g. Ec/No = -14dB and RSCP = -104 dBm)
Preamble Initial Power starts at 19dBm and flats out at 24dBm after 4th RACH retransmissions, and for the next 16 retransmissions.
This may increase the UL interference
80-XXXXXXX Rev A
11
Keeping UL interference value of -98dBm, at the edge of coverage (RSCP = -104dBm, Ec/No = -14 dB):
Recommended RACH parameters yield to Initial RACH power of 12dBm, and then flats out to max UE Tx Power
after 7th RACH re-transmissions
The recommended parameters will reduce the overall UL interference, however monitoring is required to
determine any negative impact.

Maximum time for UE in which it must successfully complete Cell Update

as it is unlikely that a user will wait so long. Could be gradually increased.

Duration of interruption to packet data service during Hard Handover from 3G to 2G. Calculated from the difference
between the timestamp when the UE receives the DL DCCH CellChangeOrderFromUTRAN from the RNC and the
timestamp when the UE sends the L3 UL GPRS MM Routing Area Update Complete to the SGSN.

After UE releases the CS call while in GSM, network can send Channel Release in GSM with
redirection information about WCDMA cell/freq
This will trigger the UE to directly move to WCDMA after the CS call release
No Location Area Updating needed Reduced Signaling Overhead
For the feature to function well, the WCDMA neighbor list defined in GSM needs to be
configured well measurement-based FR2W
FR2W will mainly work when UE reports WCDMA Cell in the last Measurement Repot before the Channel Release

A few cells reported high UL interference above -97 dBm multiple times.
This UL interference could be caused by excessive traffic or initial call setup or RAB setup parameters
in which case an audit of the initial RAB and call setup / admission control configuration parameters is
recommended.
It may also be caused by external sources and in this case the following is recommended:
