1.1 Scope
This document describes the common management of transmission resources shared by GSM and WCDMA networks over the Abis and Iub interfaces. The management process, known as common transmission resource management (Co-TRM), covers the shared transmission resources, common load control, and related parameters. Certain concepts or functions that are inherited from the original GSM and WCDMA features are not described in detail in this document. Co-TRM corresponds to feature MRFD-211503 Co-Transmission Resources Management on MBSC.
A good understanding of the functions of Transmission Resource Management (TRM) of GSM and WCDMA is presumed, before this document is read. This knowledge can be achieved through the Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description of the GSM BSS and the WCDMA RAN.

2.1 Definition
In the Co-TRM feature, l l
Overview
Co-TRM refers to the common management of transmission resources when the IP transmission bandwidth is shared by the GSM and UMTS services of the Multimode Base Station. Co-TRM improves the usage of transmission resources and ensures the transmission quality of services (QoS).
The GSM and UMTS services of the Multimode Base Station share one IP logical port (LP) if the IP over FE/GE is adopted The GSM and UMTS services of the Multimode Base Station share the PPP link/MLPPP group if the IP over E1/T1 is adopted.
MBSC uniformly implement load control and traffic shaping in the shared IP LPs, PPP links, or MLPPP group.
For details about the common transmission networking, see the Common Transmission Feature Parameter Description.
2.3 Benefits
The bandwidth resources are shared by the GSM and UMTS services between the MBSC and the Multimode Base Station in resource pool manner. The uniform management of the bandwidth resources provides the following benefits:

2 Overview
In case of a burst of GSM and UMTS services on the Multimode Base Station, the required transmission bandwidth increases abruptly. In such a case, the MBSC performs the control and thus effectively reduces the possibility of congestion. For the bandwidth allocated to the GSM and UMTS services on the same Multimode Base Station, the MBSC uses appropriate allocation policies to increase the usage of the transmission bandwidth.

3 Transmission Resources
Transmission Resources
IP transmission resources include IP path resources, IP Logical Port (LP) resources, and physical transmission resources. In the case of Co-TRM, the Abis and Iub interfaces share IP LPs/PPP links/MLPPP groups, and IP LPs/PPP links/MLPPP groups share IP physical transmission resources. Figure 3-1 shows examples of all types of transmission resources and the relations between the resources. Figure 3-1 Examples of transmission resources in the case of Co-TRM

3.2 IP LP Resources
IP LPs are used to configure bandwidth for transmission nodes and perform bandwidth-based admission and traffic shaping to prevent congestion. Co-TRM allows the services on the Abis and Iub interfaces to share the bandwidth within a logical port, thus implementing common admission control and traffic shaping. For details about IP LPs, see the Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description of the WCDMA RAN and the GSM BSS.

4 Load Control
Load Control
The load control algorithm manages the transmission bandwidth and controls the transmission load. As the QoS is ensured, more users are admitted. This document focuses on the common load control performed within the IP LPs/PPP links/MLPPP groups on the Abis and Iub interfaces. Load control applies to the admission process based on transmission resources. With the change of transmission bandwidth, different load control functions are used. Load control involves admission control, congestion control, and overload control.
Issue 01 (2012-04-30)
4 Load Control
For details about admission control thresholds, congestion control thresholds, and overload control thresholds, see sections "4.2 Admission Control" and "4.3 Congestion Control and Overload Control." A load threshold index list can be configured for a group of LPs/PPP links/MLPPP groups through the ADD TRMLOADTH command.

Figure 4-1 Admission control during the request for transmission resources
As shown in Figure 4-1, when the users request transmission resources, the admission control process is as follows: 1. The admission of transmission resources is decided. If the admission is successful, a user can obtain transmission resources. If the admission fails, go to 2. For details about admission decision, see section "4.2.1 Admission Decision." The attempt to preempt resources is made. If the preemption is successful, a user can obtain transmission resources. If the preemption fails or the preemption function is not supported, go to 3. For details about preemption, see section "4.2.2 Preemption." The attempt for queuing is made. If the queuing is successful, a user can obtain transmission resources. If the queuing fails or the queuing function is not supported, the admission based on transmission resources fails. For details about queuing, see 4.2.3 Queuing.

4.2.2 Preemption
In the case of preemption, a high-priority user preempts the bandwidth from an admitted lowpriority user for admission of transmission resources. If the admission based on IP LP/PPP link/MLPPP group resources fails, the GSM and WCDMA networks trigger the preemption function separately when the following conditions are met: l l The user who requests transmission resources supports preemption as defined in the user request. The preemption function is enabled. The preemption switches of the GSM and WCDMA networks are set separately. In the GSM network, the preemption function is enabled through the ENPREEMPTTRANSADMT parameter. In the WCDMA network, the preemption function is enabled through the PreemptAlgoSwitch(BSC6910,BSC6900) parameter. The preemption function works separately in the GSM and WCDMA networks. That is, a highpriority GSM user preempts only a low-priority GSM user, and a high-priority WCDMA user preempts only a low-priority WCDMA user. The Co-TRM feature inherits the preemption function from the original GSM and WCDMA features. They are not described in this document. For details about preemption, see the Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description of the WCDMA RAN and the GSM BSS.
4.2.3 Queuing
In the queuing function, the user that requests transmission resources in the GSM or WCDMA network is put in a separate queue to wait for free transmission resources. If the user that requests transmission resources does not support the preemption function or the preemption function fails, the GSM and WCDMA networks trigger the queuing function separately when the following conditions are met: l l The user that requests transmission resources supports queuing as defined in the user request. The queuing function is enabled. The queuing switches of the GSM and WCDMA networks are set separately. In the GSM network, the queuing function is enabled through the ENQUETRANSADMT parameter. In the WCDMA network, the queuing function is enabled through the QueueAlgoSwitch(BSC6910,BSC6900) parameter. The Co-TRM feature inherits the queuing function from the original GSM and WCDMA features. They are not described in this document. For details about queuing, see the Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description of the WCDMA RAN and the GSM BSS.

4 Load Control
For parameters associated with the congestion detection thresholds, see section "4.1 Common Load Thresholds."
For parameters associated with the overload detection thresholds, see section "4.1 Common Load Thresholds."
4 Load Control
When transmission resource overload occurs, overload control is started. During the overload control, the admission of GSM and WCDMA users is prohibited and the bandwidth occupied by low-priority users is released. When overload is cleared, overload control is stopped. When the bandwidth is released, GSM and WCDMA networks reserve bandwidth according to the configured proportion and also release the occupied bandwidth. If the bandwidth in one network cannot be released and overload is not cleared, the bandwidth in the other network is released. The bandwidth reservation proportion of the GSM and WCDMA networks is specified by the GSMBWRATE parameter. In Co-TRM, congestion and overload of the GSM and WCDMA networks are handled separately. The Co-TRM feature inherits the congestion and overload handling methods from the original GSM and WCDMA features. They are not described in this document. For details about congestion and overload handling, see the Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description of the WCDMA RAN and the GSM BSS.

Engineering Guidelines
The requirements for co-transmission networking at the MBSC are as follows: GSM+UMTS dual-mode base station controllers and GSM+UMTS dual-mode base stations are deployed. GSM+UMTS multi-mode base stations share IP LP/PPP/MLPPP transmission resources over the Abis and Iub interfaces.
In Co-TRM networking, the GSM and UMTS services share LP resources. It is recommended that the GSM and UMTS services use a common LP. The principles of configuring bandwidth for an LP are as follows: If an LP is carried on an Ethernet port (ETHER), the bandwidth of the LP should be lower than or equal to that of ETHER. Assume that the bandwidth of ETHER could be 5 Mbit/s. Then, the bandwidth of the LP could be 4 Mbit/s. If an LP is carried on the PPP link, the bandwidth of the LP should be lower than or equal to that of PPP link. If an LP is carried on the MLPPP link, the bandwidth of the LP should be lower than or equal to that of MLPPP link.
