4.2.2.1.1 Description and Analysis
The large amount of access attempts that can be generated from mobile stations used for MTC is believed to increase the load and cause congestion on the common control channel (CCCH) and therefore may negatively impact legacy services. The legacy pre-release 10 RR connection establishment procedure is not sufficient fo...

6.1 Traffic model
686035b507b3b9278dc8a7741151e4bb
43.868
6.1.1 General
The traffic model is assumed to be mobile originated, meaning that the MTC server will not poll/request reports from the MTC devices. Hence, the MTC devices will require access to the network rather autonomously and thus the network need not page the MTC devices. 6.1.2 CCCH Signalling In order to capture different net...

6.2.1.2 Network load
The resource allocation from the background traffic in neighbouring cells is assumed to be fully allocated (constant transmission), transmitted at full power (no power control) using 8PSK modulation (for assumptions on power back-off see Table 3).

4 Overview
One main energy saving mechanism in the context of this Technical Report is realized by switch-off of radio equipment on the network side. As a consequence, a UE currently being served by the radio equipment subject to switch-off will have to find an alternative, either in the same RAT (if possible by coverage, this wo...

5.1.1 General description
The following main characteristics of 3GPP RATs GERAN, UTRAN and E-UTRAN need to be taken into account in the study of energy saving: - clear definition of idle and active mode; - definition of registration areas (LAs, RAs, TAs); - fully optimized handovers; and - fully (operator) planned deployment.

5.1.2 Overlaid intra-RAT
A capacity enhancing cell, subject to switch-off for energy saving, is placed into the (full) coverage realized by other cells (see figure 5.1.2-1). Such a cell can be either totally within the range of one cell or it can intersect with multiple cells of the base coverage. The relative position of a capacity-enhancing ...

5.1.3 Non-overlaid intra-RAT
The cell that is subject to switch-off has no alternative coverage, thus some cell adaption has to take place, in order not to disrupt service for the UEs due to a coverage "hole" of this RAT (and e.g. with no capability for an alternative RAT). As shown in figure 5.1.3-1, registration area boundaries will be distorted...

The situation is shown in figure 5.1.5-1 derived from the use case given in the annex B of 3GPP TS 32.551 [6] (it can be similarly applied to the other 3GPP RATs). Only idle mode UEs are considered here, as UEs in connected mode can be handled by the network via timely handovers to cells remaining permanently active. C...

5.1.5.2 Inter-RAT case (E-UTRAN target for switch-off)
For this subclause it is assumed that GERAN/UTRAN provides the overall coverage and is used as fallback after E-UTRAN has been switched off. At this time a similar issue as described in subclause 5.1.5.1 arises more massively (independent of a cell location on a registration area boundary), because all idle mode UEs wi...

5.1.6 Key issue: Cross layer aspects
In the current 3GPP system various control features exist which govern the selection of domains for delivery of services (e.g. voice, SMS). As an example, it may be an operator's preference to handle voice communication via IMS/PS only; if no HSPA is rolled out then effectively only E-UTRAN would remain for voice. This...

5.1.7 Key issue: Idle mode UEs with emergency bearer services
UEs in idle mode with emergency bearer services possibly await a callback from e.g. an emergency answering point or need to establish an outgoing emergency call; both can be deemed critical and in some cases life-saving. The switch-off of cells for energy saving could result in a UE becoming temporarily unavailable for...

5.1.8 Key issue: Impact of inter-RAT energy saving on signalling over SGs
For a UE configured to use CS fallback, according to figure 4.2.2.1 in 3GPP TS 29.118 [9] the SGs state has to be moved to SGs-NULL if a Location Update Request is received at VLR via A, Iu or Gs interface. That is the case some time after E-UTRAN radio access has been turned off, as the UE has no means to perform comb...

5.2.1 General description
Switch-off of radio equipment in the home cell deployment scenario seems to be an attractive target case for energy saving, due to the expected mass of equipment (seen in total, i.e. for the whole population). Key characteristics of this scenario are: - in many cases the overlay by the macro network exists (except in t...

For marketing reasons and potentially also due to stronger legal requirements for energy saving, the support of the simplest energy saving feature, namely switch-off during periods of expected inactivity (e.g. according to a daily or weekly schedule), may become a standard feature. In this case configuration settings f...

5.3.1 General description
Switching off a WLAN access network has the consequence that it will no longer be detected in active or passive scanning (see subclause 4.3.1 in 3GPP TS 24.234 [4]), therefore it would drop out as a candidate for 3GPP I-WLAN initial procedures. On the other hand, if switch-off for energy saving is foreseen at all, dete...

WLANs can be considered a means to enhance capacity for mobile users in hotspots.

The switch-off of a non-3GPP radio access can occur on a varying scale, from a single access point to a whole metro area network or a country-wide set of hotspots.

NOTE: the terms "planned" / "unplanned" handover are not formally defined in 3GPP and used here for the sake of concise description. Non-3GPP accesses have been integrated into EPS with the aim to provide service continuity across accesses (currently by virtue of non-optimized, IP based handovers) and as seamless as po...

5.5.1 General description
NOTE: This subclause is intended as illustration and baseline for CT1’s analysis. It does not mandate anything for RAN groups’ work; in case of conflict between this and RAN workgroups’ description the latter takes precedence. Power adaptation of capacity enhancing cells can be utilized for energy saving in the case of...

5.5.2 Key issue: Coverage boundaries
NOTE 1: This subclause does not mandate anything for RAN groups’ work; in case of conflict between this and RAN workgroups’ description the latter takes precedence. Although the principle of power adaptation of macro cells as described in subclause 5.5.1 avoids coverage holes in the (overall, outdoor) macro cell covera...

24.826
5.6.1 Key issue: Increased ANDSF load
ANDSF can be interrogated by a UE for delivery of access network discovery information for non-3GPP accesses at any time after a secure connection has been set up between these two entities. The triggers for such queries are not specified. There are potential relations between switch-off of RATs and UE-ANDSF communicat...

5.6.2 Key issue: Signalling overload for multi-access and flow mobility
A UE can initiate, via the maintained access network, the removal of an access network from a PDN connection, after it has detected the loss of the associated radio coverage (see figure 5.5-1 of 3GPP TS 23.261 [17]). This procedure is started by a DSMIPv6 Binding Update message sent from the UE to the PDN GW/Home Agent...

5.7.1 Potential interaction between machine type communication and energy saving
Some type of machine type communication, e.g. reading out meter/sensor values or stock lists, is flexible with regards to the transaction time and is therefore thought to be suitable for handling in off-peak, especially night, hours. But this is also exactly the target time window for energy saving; therefore potential...

24.826
6.1.3 Limitations
No full flexibility is possible, e.g. for deployment of capacity enhancing cells under changing conditions. The effort for guaranteeing the optimized configuration increases with the number of affected cells and thus can become large if energy saving is applied massively (e.g. network wide).

24.826
6.2.1 Description
This solution addresses key issue "Cross layer aspects” as described in subsection 5.1.6, in particular for inter-RAT energy saving. The solution consists in adding time parameters to the following configuration parameters in OMA DM MOs, related to voice calls and multimedia sessions and defined in 3GPP TS 24.167 [10] ...

24.826
6.2.2 Benefits
The solution reduces the amount of signalling for domain transfer (which is also time critical) both for the network and affected UEs, if these need to originate communication just before a RAT is switched off for the purpose of inter-RAT energy saving. Also, a potential but unnecessary deterioration of service experie...

6.2.3 Limitations
These operator preferences are specific for selected services (voice calls and multimedia sessions). These settings are currently not per PLMN; thus either a differentiation per PLMN has to be introduced, or the described time dependence is to be limited to the HPLMN. This solutions requires changes in UEs, and therefo...
