Overview
2.1
ZWF21-20-017 Intelligent Carrier Power Off/On

The load in a mobile telecommunication system varies during a day. In rush hours,
multiple carries may be required to carry services. But late at night, one carrier may be
enough to satisfy the service demand. If multiple carriers are used when the traffic is low,
the load of each carrier is low but still occupies about 20% of the maximum transmit
power due to the transmission of common channels (such as pilot channels).
This feature is designed to automatically monitor the network traffic and close part
carriers when the traffic is low. If it is detected that the traffic increases and may exceed
the handling capacity of the current working carriers, the closed carriers are
automatically opened.
During the intelligent carrier closing period, the P-CPICH power of the cell is reduced
gradually until the cell is completely closed, and the services of the cell are handed over
to the adjacent cell smoothly.
Technical Descriptions
In a multi-carrier network, the operator can enable or disable the Intelligent Carrier Power
Off/On feature via the RNC-level switch closeFreFunSwit.
When closeFreFunSwit is set to On, if the number of subscribers or load at a carrier is
low, the RAN automatically closes the carrier to save power. The power of pilot channel
is reduced gradually to avoid call drops when the carrier is being closed. The subscribers
in this cell are handed over to other carriers based on radio quality. If the working carrier
is in congestion, the RAN immediately opens the closed carrier.
3.1
Carrier Power-Off Checking Strategies

There are two algorithms for intelligent carrier power off checking, one is based on the
number of users in the cell, and the other is based on the cell load. Operators can
choose either algorithm via the parameter closeFreAlg for each cell.
freCloseAllowedInd is used to control whether the current carrier is allowed to be closed.
This parameter is configured for each cell.
When freCloseAllowedInd is equal to 0, the current carrier is not allowed to be closed.

The network planning personnel must ensure that the first carrier (which is used to
provide continuous coverage) is not allowed to be closed.
3.1.1
When freCloseAllowedInd is equal to 1, the current carrier is allowed to be closed.
Strategy Based on the Number of In-Cell Users

When closeFreFunSwit is set to on, for the cells for which carriers are allowed to be
closed (indicated by freCloseAllowedInd) and the closeFreAlg is set as Based on the
User Number on CELL_DCH State to Switch Off Frequency, the RNC checks whether
the condition is fulfilled for closing carriers during the time between startTimetoClsF and
endTimetoClsF.
When the time indicated by startTimetoClsF is reached, the RNC counts the number of
subscribers in Cell_DCH state in the cell. If the number is lower than the threshold
indicated by ueNumThreshCls in the duration indicated by freClsOpnTrigTm, a carrier
closing procedure is triggered.
Figure 3-1 shows the decision procedure for carrier closing.

Strategy Based on Cell Load

When there are many flat tariff users in the network, who are always online for 24 hours a
day to download audio or video., Intelligent Carrier Power Off/On Based on the Number
of In-Cell Users is hard to take effect. Intelligent Carrier Power Off/On Based on Cell
Load is presented, which allows the carrier to be closed when the remained carriers can
fulfill the current users basic QoS requirement.
In the scenario of multi-layer, the RNC sets a priority for each carrier according to the
strategy of Intelligent Carrier Power Off/On Checking Based on Cell Load. The priority is
indicated by freClosePri, which can be configured for each cell according to the
operators requirement.
In a certain area covered by multi-layer cells (having Overlap or Covers relationship
indicated by ShareCover), the selection of the carrier to be closed always begins from
the cell with the lowest priority. If more than one cell has the same priority, the one with
the fewest users in CELL_DCH state is selected. If more than one cell has the same
number of users in CELL_DCH state, the one with the smallest Cell ID is selected.
When closeFreFunSwit is set to on, for the cell for which the carrier is allowed to be
closed (indicated by freCloseAllowedInd) and the closeFreAlg is set as Based on the
Cell Load to Switch Off Frequency, the RNC checks whether the condition is fulfilled for
closing a carrier during the time between startTimetoClsF and endTimetoClsF.
In order to guarantee that the load of the current cell can be carried by neighboring cells,
cell resources are all evaluated before the carrier closing. The carrier closing is triggered
only if all the resources fulfill the following condition in the duration indicated by
freClsOpnTrigTm:
Effective load of the cell to be closed <= (Admission threshold of the neighboring cells
with Overlap or Covers relationship - LoadMarginClose current resource consumption
of the neighboring cells with Overlap or Covers relationship
LoadMarginClose is the load margin configured respectively for different kinds of cell
resources. For the downlink transmit power, uplink interference, channelization code,
uplink CE resource, downlink CE resource, number of users on HSDPA, and the number
of
users

HSUPA,
powerMarginClose,
the
corresponding
intMarginClose,
LoadMarginClose
codeMarginClose,
parameters
are
ulCeMarginClose,
dlCeMarginClose, hsNumMarginClose, and eNumMarginClose respectively.

The parameter freClsCeEvaInd is used to control whether CE resources are evaluated.
Note: The carrier cannot be closed if there is a neighboring cell with Overlap or Covers
relationship in congestion.
3.2
Carrier Power-On Checking Strategies

After a carrier is closed via this feature, there are four algorithms to power on the cell.
Which algorithm is adopted depends on the parameter openFreAlg.
If the value of openFreAlg is 0, the algorithm based on time is adopted. When the
time indicated by endTimetoClsF is reached, the intelligently closed cell is opened.
If the value of openFreAlg is 1, the algorithm based on congestion is adopted. If the

working carrier is in congestion, the RNC opens all the closed adjacent cells.
Whether the cell is congested is determined by the congestion algorithm. Refer to
the congestion control feature guide.
If the value openFreAlg is 2, the algorithm based on time or congestion is adopted.
If the value of openFreAlg is 3, the algorithm based on time or cell load is adopted.
When either of the following conditions is fulfilled, the closed carrier is switched on
immediately.
Condition 1: The time indicated by endTimetoClsF is reached.
Condition 2: (Effective load of the working carrier) > (Admission threshold of the
working carrier - LoadMarginOpen).
LoadMarginOpen is the load margin configured respectively for different kinds of
resources. For the downlink transmit power, uplink interference, channelization code,
uplink CE resource, downlink CE resource, number of users on HSDPA, and the number
of
users
on
HSUPA,
powerMarginOpen,
the
corresponding
intMarginOpen,
LoadMarginOpen
codeMarginOpen,
parameters
are
ulCeMarginOpen,
dlCeMarginOpen, hsNumMarginOpen, and eNumMarginOpen respectively.

The parameter freClsCeEvaInd determines whether CE resources are evaluated.
If more than one inter-frequency neighboring cell can be opened, these cells are opened
one by one in the following order:

1.
Neighboring cell with Overlap relationship
2.
Neighboring cell with Covers relationship
3.
Neighboring cell with Contained in relationship

For example, in the following figure, cell 1 and cell 2 have an Overlap relationship
with each other, cell 4 has a Covers relationship with cell 3, and cell 3 has a
Contained in relationship with cell 4.
Cell 1/2
Cell 4
Cell 3
For the neighboring cell with an Overlap or Covers relationship, only one carrier
is opened at a time and the carrier with the highest priority is firstly opened
according to the freClosePri. If more than one carrier has the highest priority, the
carrier to be opened is chosen randomly.
For the neighboring cell with a Contained in" relationship, all the carriers are
opened at the same time. For example, in the following figure, cell 1 and cell 2 have
a Contained in relationship with cell 3. When cell 3 is in congestion, cell 1 and cell
2 are opened at the same time.
Cell3
Cell1
Cell2
Note: For algorithm 3, when the working carrier is in congestion state, all the closed
carrier in neighboring cells with Overlap or Covers relationship are opened
immediately.
After a closed cell is opened by any of the above algorithms, a punishment timer
indicated by forbTimAftOpnF is started to avoid ping-pong. Before the expiration of the
timer, the cell will not be closed again even if it meets the carrier closing condition.
3.3
Carrier Power Off Procedure

When the cell is determined to be closed in accordance with a strategy, the RNC informs
the Node B to gradually power down CPICH for a cell via cell reconfiguration procedure.
The carrier power off procedure is shown in Figure 3-2. When the carrier power-off
procedure starts, the CPICH power is decreased step by step. The step size is indicated
by PcpiPwrDnStep. Each time the CPICH power is decreased, a time interval of
PcpiPwrDnTmWin is set. When the time interval is reached, the CPICH power is
decreased again. If the CPICH power is still higher than -10dBm after being decreased
for the maximum of PcpiPwrDnStepTm times, it is configured to -10dBm at the
(PcpiPwrDnStepTm +1) times. Once the CPICH power is down to -10dBm, the Node B
closes the carrier completely. The Node B enters the power saving state.

During downgrading the power of a cell, if a cell reconfiguration fails, the RNC stops
closing the cell and the cell remains its current state. When a cell is in power saving state,
if the cell is deleted and then re-established successfully, the cell will operate properly.
After the time when carrier power off is allowed is reached, the RNC determines whether
to close the cell again.

3.4
Carrier Power On Procedure

When the cell is determined to be opened in accordance with a strategy, the RNC
configures the transmit power of CPICH to the value indicated by PcpichPwr, via a cell
reconfiguration procedure. If the cell reconfiguration fails to recover the cell from power
saving state, the cell is kept in power saving state until the next check for carrier power
on.
