2 Radio Algorithm Parameters Setting
2.1 Distribution of Mono-Mode 2G / Bi-Mode 2G-3G Users

As the strategy is to keep bi-mode MS on 3G cells, in case of high 3G MS

penetration (> 50% for example), 3G cells can be overloaded.

So, it is necessary to use other criteria to unload 3G areas:

Only 3G MSs performing data transfer are kept on 3G cells.

2.2 Density of 3G Sites Compared to 2G

The density of the 3G sites also has to be taken into account.

Particularly if the traffic is High (anyway, in case of low traffic, the 3G
is preferred).

2.3 Call Mix for CS and PS Services

Due to the importance of Bit Rates for PS services, if everybody cannot

be kept on 3G cell for one or several of the reasons seen before, PS
traffic will be preferred
