Cell Synchronisation Procedure

When a UE is switched on, it starts to monitor the radio interface to find a suitable cell to camp on but it has to determine,whether there is a WCDMA cell nearby.

If a WCDMA cell is available, the UE has to be synchronised to the downlink transmission of the system information  – transmitted on the physical channel P-CCPCH – before it can make a decision, in how far the available cell is suitable to

camp on.Initial cell selection is not the only reason, why a UE wants to perform cell synchronisation. This process is also requiredfor cell re-selection and the handover procedure.

Cell synchronisation is achieved I three phases

• Step 1: Slot synchronisation

 – During the first step of the cell search procedure the UE uses the SCH"s primary synchronisation code to acquireslot synchronisation to a cell. This is typically done with a single matched filter (or any similar device) matched tothe primary synchronisation code which is common to all cells. The slot timing of the cell can be obtained bydetecting peaks in the matched filter output.

• Step 2: Frame synchronisation and code-group identification

 – During the second step of the cell search procedure, the UE uses the SCH"s secondary synchronisation code tofind frame synchronisation and identify the code group of the cell found in the first step. This is done bycorrelating the received signal with all possible secondary synchronisation code sequences, and identifying themaximum correlation value. Since the cyclic shifts of the sequences are unique the code group as well as theframe synchronisation is determined.

• Step 3: Scrambling-code identification

 – During the third and last step of the cell search procedure, the UE determines the exact primary scrambling code

used by the found cell. The primary scrambling code is typically identified through symbol-by-symbol correlationover the CPICH with all codes within the code group identified in the second step. After the primary scramblingcode has been identified, the Primary CCPCH can be detected. And the system- and cell specific BCHinformation can be read.

If the UE has received information about which scrambling codes to search for, steps 2 and 3 above can be simplified.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/eagle-radio-interface-procedures 26/66

• Which cells are suitable for (initial) cell selection and reselection, so that the UE can camp on them?

• This is determined by the UE based on the cell selection criterion S.

•It is fulfilled, when•Srxlev > 0 AND Squal > 0 in the FDD mode, and

•Srxlev > 0 in the TDD mode.

• Squal delivers the cell Selection quality value (dB).

•The UE determines it according to this formulary: Squal = Qqualmeas  – Qqualmin

•The UE measures the received signal quality Qqualmeas of the cell. It is based on CPICH Ec/N0 (dB)

for FDD cells. (CPICH Ec/N0 is averaged.)

•The operator determines for each cell the minimum required received level Qqualmin (dB) at the

UE. This value is the broadcasted. Its integer value can range between –24 and 0 dB.

• A cell is not suitable for cell selection and re-selection, if the measured received signal quality

level is below Qqualmin.

• Srxlev stands for the cell selection receive level value (dB).

•The UE determines it this way: Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas - Qrxlevmin – Pcompensation

•Qrxlevmeas is the cell RX level measured by the UE, based on the CPICH RSCP for FDD cells

(dBm), and the averaged received signal level for GSM cells (dBm). (All values get averaged!)

•The operator sets the value Qrxlevmin as minimum required RX level in the cell (dBm), which is

sent to the UE via the BCCH. Its integer value can range between –115 dBm and –25 dBm (2 dB

step size).

• If the UE determines the cell„s RX level value Q rxlevmeas and Qrxlevmin calculated the Srxlev

accordingly, it may have good RX level which means, that a good DL connection can be established.

• But the UE„s own output power capability has to be taken under consideration. This is done with 

•Pcompensation = max(UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH – P_MAX, 0) (dB) 

• In order to access a cell, the UE has to use the common channel PRACH.

• The operator determines the maximum cell radius by limiting the maximum TX power level, a UE can

use on the PRACH. This is the UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH (dBm).

• UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH can range – according to the specifications - between –50 dBm and 33

dBm.

On the other hand, there is the UE„s maximum RF output power, given by P_MAX (dBm).

(Initial) Cell Selection Process

Page 30: Eagle Radio Interface Procedures

7/30/2019 Eagle Radio Interface Procedures

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/eagle-radio-interface-procedures 30/66

• There exist two cell selection procedures:

• Initial Cell Selection

•The UE has to find a suitable cell of the PLMN, which was selected by the NAS.

•To do so, the mobile phone scans all radio frequency carriers of UTRA. Hereby, the UE focuses

its cell search to the suitable cell on each carriers.

• As soon as the mobile phone has found a suitable cell, it selects it.

• Stored Information Cell Selection 

•To speed up the cell selection process – for instance, when the UE is switched on again – 

information about UTRA carriers, even cell parameters such as cell scrambling codes can be

stored in the UE.•The UE uses this information to find a suitable cell of the PLMN, which was selected by the NAS.

•If the cell selection based on stored information in the UE fails – e.g. the selected PLMN cannot

be found – the UE continues the cell selection process based on the Initial Cell Selection

procedure.

• Both for Initial Cell Selection and Stored Information Cell Selection, a cell is only suitable for the UE to

camp on, if it fulfils the cell selection criterion S:

•Srxlev > 0 AND Squal > 0 in the FDD mode, and•Srxlev > 0 in the TDD mode.

•  As part of the network planning process, the operator has to determine the threshold values, which

trigger the cell re-selection process by the UE.

• The operator has also to decide, whether to use the HCS. The BCCH is used to inform the UE about

the use of HCS.

• Intra-Frequency measurement threshold Sintrasearch 

•If this parameter is not sent in the serving cell, the UE must always perform intra-frequency

measurements. If it is transmitted and Sx > Sintrasearch, the UE does not perform intra-frequency

measurements. If Sx <= Sintrasearch, it performs intra-frequency measurements.

• Inter-Frequency measurement threshold Sintersearch

•If this parameter is not sent in the serving cell, the UE must always perform inter-frequencymeasurements. If it is transmitted and Sx <= Sintersearch, it must perform inter-frequency

measurements, but if Sx > Sintersearch, there is no need to perform this type of measurement.

• Inter-RAT measurement threshold SsearchRAT m 

•If this parameter is not sent in the serving cell, the UE must always perform inter-system

measurements. If it is transmitted and Sx > SsearchRAT m, it won„t conduct measurements on cells of 

radio access technology “m”. But if Sx <= SsearchRAT m, it has to do these measurements.

• Sintrasearch, Sintersearch, and SsearchRAT m can get integer values ranging from –32 to 20 (step size 2) in

the FDD mode. Negative values are set to 0 by the UE.

•  After checking the measurement thresholds, the UE has detected suitable cells to camp on.

• But which of the remaining candidate cells is the best one for cell re-selection?

• For that, a cell-ranking criterion R was specified:

•Rs = Qmeas,s + Qhysts  (for the serving cell) 

•Rn = Qmeas,n - Qoffsets,n (for candidate neighbouring cells for cell reselection) 

• The serving cell and the remaining candidate cells are ranked according to criterion R.

• The cell ranked with the highest value R is the best cell for the UE to camp on.

• Qhysts gives a hysteresis value to make the serving cell more attractive and thus delay the cell re-

selection. It exists in two versions:

•It ranges between 0 and 40 (step size 2).

• The value Qoffset is an offset given for each individual neighbouring cell, which ranges between –50

and 50 dB, with default set to 0.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/eagle-radio-interface-procedures 39/66

• Is the cell re-selection initiated immediately after the UE ranks a neighbouring cell to be the best?

•If so, we could face a ping-pong effect – a UE often performing cell reselection between two

neighbouring cells.

•To avoid this, the operator uses the time interval value Treselection, whose value ranges

between 0 and 31 seconds.

•Only when a cell was ranked Treselection seconds better then the serving cell, a cell reselection

to this cell takes place.

•In addition to this, a UE must camp at least 1 second on a serving cell, before the next cell re-

selection may take place.

• How often are the cell re-selection criteria evaluated?

•This is done at least once every DRX cycle for cells, for which new measurement results are

available.

• The following slides present a mobile originated call

• The first step is to establish an RRC connection. This is done in the same

way as for the IMSI attach procedure

• The only difference is that the establishment cause specified in the RRC
