Introduction
In a Load Management Context
› The feature introduces enhanced control of the UE selection process for
inter-frequency load balancing and IRAT offload to WCDMA.
Load measurement
Determine traffic load in each individual cell
Load information exchange
Request and exchange load information between cells
Load balancing action magnitude
Determine the amount of offloading needed to balance load
UE selection for load balancing action
Determine and offload suitable UEs
› UE selection for Load Balancing action is based on UE services (QCI)

benefits of sSLM
•
The feature allows the operator to control how users are selected for load
management action based on used service(s)
•
Possibility to require better (target) coverage for users with a certain service (e.g.
VoIP) to qualify for load-triggered
– Similar support is available for coverage-triggered mobility as of L12A
•
Possibility to inhibit users with a certain service (e.g. VoIP) from load-triggered
handovers to a higher E-UTRAN frequency
•
Possibility to inhibit users with a certain service (e.g. VoIP) from load-triggered
handovers to a UTRAN frequency
•
Possibility to require that a user has a certain service (e.g. VoIP) in order to qualify
for load-triggered handovers to a UTRAN frequency

Summary
Feature Description
SSLM new functionality in L14A
› Possibility to apply an offset to the A4/B1 (IFLB/IRAT Offload threshold) depending on QCI (new in
L14A)
› Configurable offset per (frequency relation, QCI)
› If a user has several bearers, the bearer which QCI has largest offset will apply
› Possibility to exclude UEs from load balancing depending on QCI
› Configurable per (frequency relation, QCI)
› A QCI can be configured as forbidden from load-triggered handover
› A QCI can be configured as required for load-triggered handover (new in L14A)
• If more than one QCI is configured as required then a user with at least one required
QCI is qualified for load-triggered handover
• In case of conflict, forbidden overrides required
› By default a QCI is allowed for load-triggered handover
• Such a QCI will not inhibit a load-triggered handover for a user with the QCI
(it is neither forbidden nor required)
Feature Description
SSLM voip example
› Note that only load relations from one cell are illustrated
The A4 threshold (required to qualify for load balancing action)
for VoIP users is 3 dB higher to the higher E-UTRAN frequency
E-UTRAN cells
Frequency
UTRAN cell
Distance
No specific constraints for VoIP users
to the lower E-UTRAN frequency
VoIP users are completely inhibited from
IRAT offload to the UTRAN frequency

Summary
summary
› The feature is an add-on to features Inter-frequency Load Balancing, Inter-RAT Offload
to WCDMA and Inter-frequency Offload
› OSS - CEX “Self Organized Networks” provides support for filtering out cells on a
certain source frequency relation towards target frequency and apply the settings to
all objects found.
