What Do You Understand by Directed Retry?: Wcdma

Directed Retry is a process where excess traffic in a WCDMA cell may be offloaded to a co-existing GSM network. If a call is chosen for Directed Retry, the request for a speech radio access bearer will be rejected with a cause of "Directed retry" and the UE will be relocated through an inter-RAT handover procedure to a specific GSM cell without relying on UE measurements. This blind handover assumes the target GSM cell has similar coverage and accessibility to its associated WCDMA cell.

What do you understand by Directed Retry?

When there is a co-existing GSM RAN, excess traffic in a WCDMA cell


may be offloaded to GSM If a call is chosen for Directed Retry to GSM, the
request for the speech RAB will be rejected with cause "Directed retry"
and then a request is made to the core network to relocate the UE to a
specific GSM cell, using the Inter-RAT handover procedure. This handover
is a blind one since the target cell is chosen not based on UE
measurements. Therefore, the target cell must be co-located with
the WCDMA cell. Co-located GSM cells are assumed to have similar
coverage and accessibility as their respective WCDMA cells.

DRD Type Application Scenario

Description

RRC DRD During RRC setup

RRC DRD is used to select a suitable inter-frequency neighboring cell for a UE to set up an RRC
connection in either of the following situations: The RRC connection setup fails in the cell that the
UE tries to access. The cell that the UE tries to access does not support signaling radio bearer (SRB)
over HSPA when SRB over HSPA is selected as the bearer scheme. RRC DRD is based on blind
handover.

Non-periodic DRD

During RAB setup, RAB modification, or DCCC channel reconfiguration

Non-periodic DRD can be performed based on blind handover or measurement. Blind-handover-


based non-periodic DRD is used to select a suitable cell for a UE to access according to the HSPA+
technological satisfaction, service priority, and cell load. It enables the UE to be served with the best
technological satisfaction and implements load balancing and service steering. Measurement-
based non-periodic DRD, that is, Measurement Based Directed Retry (MBDR) is used to select a
signal qualified cell for a UE according to the measurement result. Compared with blind-handover-
based non-periodic DRD, MBDR can increase the DRD success rate when the current cell and the
DRD target cell cover different areas. NOTE: Blind-handover-based non-periodic DRD cannot work
with MBDR. When MBDR is enabled, this type of DRD is disabled automatically
