Procedure
Activation Procedure
1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH. In this step,
set Direct retry switch to DR_RAB_SING_DRD_SWITCH,
DR_RAB_COMB_DRD_SWITCH, and DR_INTER_RAT_DRD_SWITCH.
2. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UDRD. In this step, set the RNC-level
parameter Max inter-RAT direct retry number to a value other than zero, and
turn on the following RNC-level switches: Service Steering DRD Switch, Load
balance DRD switch for DCH, Load balance DRD switch for HSDPA, Code
Balancing DRD Switch, Uplink load balance DRD Switch for DC-HSDPA,
Measurement-Based DRD Switch, and Device Type Steering DRD Switch.
3. Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD UCELLDRD. In this step,
set the cell-level parameter Max inter-RAT direct retry number to a value
other than zero. Turn on the following cell-level switches: Service Steering
DRD Switch, Load balance DRD switch for DCH, Load balance DRD switch
for HSDPA, Code Balancing DRD Switch, Uplink load balance DRD Switch
for DC-HSDPA, and Device Type Steering DRD Switch.
CAUTION:
If a cell is configured with both the RNC-level and cell-level parameters, the cell-
level parameter settings take effect. Therefore, do not modify the parameters to
default values when you are configuring the cell-level parameters.
Verification Procedure
1. Start Iu interface tracing on the BSC6900 LMT. Use a UE to initiate a PS
interactive service.
2. In the Iu Interface Trace dialog box, view the following procedure:
a. The core network (CN) sends a RAB_ASSIGNMENT_REQ message to
the BSC6900.
b. The BSC6900 responds to the CN with a RAB_ASSIGNMENT_RSP
message containing the cause value "direct retry."
c. The BSC6900 sends the CN a RELOCATION REQUIRED message
containing the cause value "direct retry."
Deactivation Procedure
1. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET UDRD. In this step, set Max Inter-RAT
direct retry number to 0. Turn off the RNC-level switches.
2. Optional: Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD UCELLDRD. In this step,
set Max inter-RAT direct retry number to 0. Turn off the cell-level switches.
