To improve the user experiences of R99, DRD for

R99 services are not recommended.

Users will try F1 if rejected by F2, users will try

F2 if rejected by F1.

How to improve the

service success rate of

DRD between F1&F2

cells and improve userexperiences?

Decrease the DRD request times

between two carrier cells are main

solution:

a. Set 5% as the offset of HSPAusers between two carrier

cells (or higher), thus DRDwill happen only if differenceof HSDPA users between twocarrier cells are larger than5%;

b. Target network for DRD,Ec/No>-12dB;

(Strategy )

1. DRD is less, accessibility

KPIs are better;

2. Frequency resources are fully

used.

1. If F2 is not continuously covered, then

inter-freq. hard handover is introduced

for CS services, which has a impact on

the CS users experiences.

2. HSPA service has interference on R99
