2 Overview of Call Admission Control
2 Overview of Call Admission Control

Call Admission Control (CAC) is used to determine whether the system resources in a cell are sufficient
to accept a resource request. If the system resources are sufficient, the resource request is accepted;
otherwise, the resource request is rejected.
A radio link sends a resource request to the CAC functional module when additional resources are
required, in cases such as radio resource control (RRC) connection setup, new service setup, change of
existing services, soft handover, and cell change. Upon receiving a resource request, the CAC functional
module determines whether the request can be accepted by measuring the cell load and the requested
resources. For details about measuring the cell load, see the Load Control Feature Parameter
Description.
The admission decision performed using CAC is based on the following resources: code resources,
power resources, NodeB credit resources, and Iub resources. In the case of an HSPA resource request,
the admission decision is also based on the number of HSPA users. The admission succeeds only when
the resources on which CAC is based are available.
With CAC, an overloaded cell can accept resource requests for an RRC connection setup only in the
case of emergency calls, detachments, or registrations. This is because the priority of such requests is
very high. This helps maintain system stability when cells are overloaded. In addition, admitting or
rejecting users over FACH or enhanced FACH channels (HS-DSCH) in an overloaded cell can be
specified by setting FACH_UU_ADCTRL of the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter.

3 Technical Description
3.1 Overview
3.1.1 Admission Resource and Basic Procedure
A radio link sends a resource request to the CAC functional module when additional resources are
required. On receipt of the resource request, the CAC functional module performs the admission
decision based on the following resources:
Available cell code resources
Available cell power resources
NodeB credit resources, which are used to measure the channel demodulation capability of NodeBs
Available Iub transmission bandwidth
Number of HSDPA users (only for HSDPA services)
Number of HSUPA users (only for HSUPA services)
A call can be admitted only when all of these resources are available.
Code resource-based and Iub resource-based admission control are mandatory and cannot be disabled.
For HSDPA/HSUPA services, admission control based on the number of HSUPA/HSDPA users is also
mandatory. Other admission control policies are enabled or disabled by running the MOD
UCELLALGOSWITCH or SET UCACALGOSWITCH command.
Figure 3-1 shows the basic procedure for a resource-based admission decision.

3.1.2 HSDPA Admission Control

HSDPA admission control (WRFD-01061003 HSDPA Admission Control) enables the HSDPA service
along with other R99 services to access the network by using the remaining power resources and other
resources. Admission control based on the number of HSDPA users is also considered.
Iub resource admission for HSDPA users is also performed during admission control to grant HSDPA
services and other R99 services the access to resources to ensure a certain QoS.
HSDPA admission control is described in this document, along with R99 admission control.
3.1.3 HSUPA Admission Control

HSUPA admission control (WRFD-01061202 HSUPA Admission Control) enables HSUPA services along
with other R99 services to access the network by using the remaining uplink cell load and other
resources. Admission based on the number of HSUPA users is also considered.
Iub resource admission and NodeB credit resources for HSUPA users are also performed during
admission control to grant HSUPA service and other R99 services the access to resources to ensure a
certain QoS.
Issue 03 (2012-11-30)

WCDMA RAN
HSUPA admission control is described in this document, along with R99 admission control.
3.2 CAC Based on Code Resources

Code resource-based admission is mandatory when a non-HSDPA service attempts to access the
network.
The reserved code resources are shared by all HSDPA services and therefore code resource-based admission control for
HSDPA services is not required. For details about code allocation for HSDPA services, see the HSDPA Feature Parameter
Description.
In code resource-based admission, the admission criteria vary with the service request.
RRC Connection Setup Requests

For an RRC connection setup request, code resource-based admission is implemented as follows:
When RSVDBIT11 under the RsvdPara1 parameter in the ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH command is
set to 0, code resource-based admission succeeds if the remaining code resources are sufficient for
setting up an RRC connection.
set to 1, the RNC implements code resource-based admission based on the cause carried in the RRC
connection setup request:
If
the cause is "Emergency Call" or "Detach", code resource-based admission succeeds if the
remaining code resources are sufficient.
For
any other cause, the RNC must ensure that the remaining codes (the remaining minimum SF of
the current cell) do not exceed the reserved minimum spreading factor (SF) for an RRC connection
upon admitting an RRC connection setup request. The reserved minimum SF is specified by
RSVDBIT12 under the RsvdPara1 parameter in the ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH command.
a. If RSVDBIT12 under the RsvdPara1 parameter is set to 0, the reserved minimum SF is SF128.
b. If RSVDBIT12 under the RsvdPara1 parameter is set to 1, the reserved minimum SF is SF32.
Handover Service Requests

For handover service requests, code resource-based admission succeeds if the remaining code
resources are sufficient for the service to be admitted.
PS Service/CS Service (Non-AMR Service) Requests

For PS services/CS service (non-AMR service) requests, the RNC must ensure that the remaining codes
(the remaining minimum SF of the current cell) upon admitting a new service do not exceed the
threshold which is specified by the DlHoCeCodeResvSf parameter.
AMR Service Requests

For AMR service requests,
set to 0, the RNC must ensure that the remaining codes (the remaining minimum SF of the current cell)
upon admitting a new service do not exceed the threshold specified by the DlHoCeCodeResvSf
parameter.
set to 1, code resource-based admission succeeds if the remaining code resources are sufficient for
the service to be admitted.

3.3 CAC Based on Power Resources

3.3.1 Overview
Power-based admission is used for RRC connection setup requests and radio access bearer (RAB)
admission. The power-based admission algorithm is enabled or disabled by the
NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch/NBMDlCacAlgoSelSwitch parameter.
To enable power-based admission control for HSDPA or HSUPA services, select HSDPA_UU_ADCTRL or
HSUPA_UU_ADCTRL under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter. This switch does not work when the uplink is over
HSUPA channels and the downlink is over HSDPA channels.
CAC based on power resources is performed by using one of the following three algorithms:
Algorithm 1 (ALGORITHM_FIRST): admission control based on the expected load increase caused
by a new service
Depending on the current cell power load, the RNC determines whether the cell load will exceed the
threshold upon admitting the new service. If the cell load exceeds the threshold, the RNC rejects the
access request. Otherwise, the RNC admits the service.
Algorithm 2 (ALGORITHM_SECOND): admission control based on the equivalent number of users

(ENU)
Depending on the current ENU load and the access request, the RNC determines whether the ENU
will exceed the threshold upon admitting the new request. If the ENU exceeds the threshold, the RNC
rejects the access request. Otherwise, the RNC admits the service.
Algorithm 3 (ALGORITHM_THIRD): admission control without considering load increase caused by a

new service
This algorithm assumes that the load increase caused by the new service is 0. Based on the current
cell power load, the RNC determines whether the cell load will exceed the threshold. If the cell load
exceeds the threshold, the RNC rejects the access request. Otherwise, the RNC admits the service.
Figure 3-2 shows the basic procedure for a power-based admission decision.
Issue 03 (2012-11-30)

3-4
WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-2 Basic procedure for a power-based admission decision
The basic principles for a power-based admission decision are as follows:
For an intra-frequency handover request, only a downlink admission decision is required.
For a non-intra-frequency handover request, both uplink and downlink decisions are required.
If there is a rate downsizing request, the RNC accepts it directly. For a rate upsizing request, both
uplink and downlink admission control are required.
3.3.2 Power-based Admission Control on RRC Connection Setup

Requests
The RNC performs loose or strict admission control on RRC connection setup requests.
If RSVDBIT8, RSVDBIT9, and RSVDBIT10 under the RsvdPara1 parameter in the ADD
UCELLALGOSWITCH command are all set to 0 on the RNC, the RNC performs loose admission control
on RRC connection setup requests. Otherwise, the RNC performs strict admission control on RRC
connection setup requests.
Admission control is performed on RRC connection setup requests the same way as it is performed on
RAB setup requests, except that the admission thresholds are different. This section only describes the
admission thresholds for RRC connection setup requests in loose and strict admission control. For
details about admission control for RAB setup, see section 3.3.3 "Power-based Admission Algorithm 1
for RAB Setup."
If load increase is considered when the RNC performs admission control on an RRC connection setup request, the RNC
calculates the load increase based on the signaling radio bearer (SRB) rate of the RRC connection setup request. The
SRB rate of an RRC connection setup request is set by running the SET URRCESTCAUSE command.
Issue 03 (2012-11-30)

WCDMA RAN
Loose Admission Control

If an RRC connection setup request comes from emergency calls, detachments, or registrations, the
RRC connection is set up directly.
If an RRC connection setup request comes from other services, admission control is performed as
follows:
When UL_UU_OLC or DL_UU_OLC under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter is set to 1,

If
the cell is overloaded, the RRC connection setup request is rejected.
If
the cell is not overloaded, the uplink or downlink OLC triggering threshold (UlOlcTrigThd or
DlOlcTrigThd) is used for admission control.
When UL_UU_OLC or DL_UU_OLC is set to 0, the uplink or downlink OLC triggering threshold
(UlOlcTrigThd or DlOlcTrigThd) is used for admission control.
For details about the state of an overloaded cell and overload control (OLC), see the Load Control
Feature Parameter Description.
Strict Admission Control

If an RRC connection setup request comes from emergency calls or detachments, the RRC connection
is set up directly.
If an RRC connection setup request comes from other services, the RNC determines the admission
threshold based on one of the following request causes:
RRC connection setup requests of real-time services
RRC connection setup requests of non-real-time services
RRC connection setup requests of other services (excluding real-time services, non-real-time services,
emergency calls, and detachments)
The RNC determines the admission threshold using the following formulas:
Admission threshold for RRC of real-time services = Admission threshold offset for RRC of real-time
services + UlNonCtrlThdForAMR (for the uplink) or DlConvAMRThd (for the downlink)
Admission threshold for RRC of non-real-time services = Admission threshold offset for RRC of
non-real-time services + UlNonCtrlThdForOther (for the uplink) or DlOtherThd (for the downlink)
Admission threshold for RRC of other services = Admission threshold offset for RRC of other services
+ UlOlcTrigThd (for the uplink) or DlOlcTrigThd (for the downlink)
The offsets in these three formulas vary with the settings of RSVDBIT8, RSVDBIT9, and RSVDBIT10
under the RsvdPara1 parameter. See Table 3-1.

3.3.3 Power-based Admission Algorithm 1 for RAB Setup

There are two types of power-based admission decisions based on algorithm 1: uplink and downlink.
The RNC performs admission control on services based on cell load. The measurement quantities
relevant to cell load are processed and reported by the load measurement module of the RNC. For
details about how measurement quantities relevant to cell load are measured and reported, see the
section of load measurements in the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
Uplink Power-based Admission Decisions for R99 Cells Based on Algorithm 1

In an R99 cell, uplink power-based admission decisions are made according to the RTWP-based total
uplink load. The RTWP-based total uplink load is calculated in real time by the load measurement
module of the RNC. It is represented by UL,R99-Total and calculated using the following formula:
UL,R99-Total = 1 - PN/RTWP + UL,CCH
Where
PN is the received uplink background noise. It is set by the BackgroundNoise parameter. If the
auto-adaptive background noise update algorithm is enabled, PN is updated in real time. For details
about the auto-adaptive background noise update algorithm, see the Load Control Feature Parameter
Description.
RTWP is the received total wideband power in the uplink. It is measured by the NodeB and reported to
the RNC periodically.
UL,CCH is the reserved load on the uplink common channels. It is set by the UlCCHLoadFactor
parameter.
Upon receiving a service access request, the RNC makes the uplink power-based admission decision
for an R99 service. The procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC calculates the uplink load increase (UL) based on the initial admission rate of the service.
For details about the initial admission rate, see the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
2. If the sum of the RTWP-based total uplink load (UL,R99-Total) and the load increase caused by the new
service (UL) is lower than or equal to the corresponding admission threshold
(UlNonCtrlThdForAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or
UlNonCtrlThdForHo), the RNC admits the service. Otherwise, the RNC performs the next step.
When RSVDBIT11 under the RsvdPara1 parameter in the ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH command is set to 1, the RNC
uses the following admission threshold for AMR service setup, reconfiguration, or handover requests to increase the
access success rate of AMR services:
Issue 03 (2012-11-30)

3-7
WCDMA RAN
When the OLC algorithm switch (UL_UU_OLC under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned on, the uplink OLC
triggering threshold (UlOlcTrigThd) is used as the admission threshold.
When the OLC algorithm switch (UL_UU_OLC under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned off, the admission
threshold is 100%.
3. The RNC checks whether the control RTWP anti-interference function switch
(RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned on. If it is turned
on, the RNC checks whether the total uplink load of ENU on the cell is lower than
CellUlEquNumCapacity. If it is lower than CellUlEquNumCapacity, the RNC admits the service.
Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request. For details about the total uplink load of ENU on the
cell, see section 3.3.4 "Power-based Admission Algorithm 2 for RAB Setup."
Uplink Power-based Admission Decisions for HSPA Cells Based on Algorithm

1
In an HSPA cell, uplink power-based admission decisions are made based on the following load
measurements:
The RTWP-based total uplink load, which is calculated in real time by the load measurement module
of the RNC. It is represented by UL,HSUPA-Total and calculated using the following formula:
UL,HSUPA-Total = 1 - PN/RTWP + UL,CCH + HS-DPCCH
Where HS-DPCCH is the reserved load for the uplink HS-DPCCH. It is set by the
UlHsDpcchRsvdFactor parameter. The other variables are defined the same way as for an R99 cell
in "Uplink Power-based Admission Decisions for R99 Cells Based on Algorithm 1."
The uncontrollable uplink load, which is the load factor for the receive power of a cell excluding the
receive power used for scheduling services. It is represented by UL,NonCtrl and calculated using the
following formula:
UL,NonCtrl = UL,HSUPA-Total - UL,Ctrl
Where UL,Ctrl is the controllable uplink load and equals the received scheduled E-DCH power share
(RSEPS). RSEPS is the ratio of the receive power of all scheduled users to RTWP in the current cell.
RSEPS is measured by the NodeB and periodically reported to the RNC.
The total uplink load for preferential admission of R99 services, which is represented by UL,R99Prefer-Total.
When the guaranteed bit rate (GBR) for HSUPA services is too high, the RTWP-based total uplink load
may also be too high, and therefore R99 service admission is difficult. In this case, UL,R99Prefer-Total
ensures that R99 services are preferentially admitted. It is calculated using the following formula:
UL,R99Prefer-Total = UL,NonCtrl + ThdHSUPAMaxGBP + UL,CCH + HS-DPCCH
Where ThdHSUPAMaxGBP is the maximum guaranteed load threshold for HSUPA services when the RNC
makes an admission decision on an R99 service. It is set by the HsupaMaxGBPThd parameter.
If the periodic measurement switch of the total receive power used for scheduling services on the E-DCH is turned off
(HSUPA_EDCH_RSEPS_MEAS under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is set to 0), the RNC performs admission
control for the cell based on ENU. For details about ENU-based admission control, see section 3.3.4 "Power-based
Admission Algorithm 2 for RAB Setup."
Upon receiving a service access request, the RNC performs the uplink power-based admission decision.
The procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC calculates the uplink load increase (UL) based on the initial admission rate of the service.
2. The RNC determines whether to admit the service. If service admission succeeds, the RNC admits
the service. If service admission fails, the RNC performs the next step. Note that the admission
criteria vary with the bearer type in an HSPA cell, which is described in follow-up sections.
Issue 03 (2012-11-30)

3-8
WCDMA RAN
3. The RNC checks whether the control RTWP anti-interference function switch
(RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned on. If it is turned
on, the RNC checks whether the total uplink load of ENU on the cell is lower than
CellUlEquNumCapacity. If it is lower than CellUlEquNumCapacity, the RNC admits the service.
Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request. For details about the total uplink load of ENU on the
cell, see section 3.3.4 "Power-based Admission Algorithm 2 for RAB Setup."
The admission criteria for different bearer types in an HSPA cell are as follows:
For the DCH RAB
If the bearer type is the DCH RAB, a service is admitted only when the following criteria are both met:
The sum of the uncontrollable uplink load (UL,NonCtrl) and the load increase caused by the new service
(UL) is lower than or equal to the corresponding admission threshold (UlNonCtrlThdForAMR,
UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or UlNonCtrlThdForHo).
The sum of the RTWP-based total uplink load (UL,HSUPA-Total) and the load increase caused by the new
service (UL), or the sum of the total uplink load for preferential admission of R99 services
(UL,R99Prefer-Total) and the load increase caused by the new service (UL), is lower than or equal to
UlCellTotalThd.
threshold is 100%.
For the HSUPA RAB

If the bearer type is the HSUPA RAB, the CAC algorithm combines the PBR-based admission decision
with the load-based admission decision. The RNC admits an HSUPA service if either PBR-based
admission or load-based admission succeeds.
IMS signaling services carried on HSUPA RABs are admitted directly.
PBR-based admission decisions

The uplink provided bit rate (PBR) is the effective uplink throughput on all UEs corresponding to a
scheduling priority indicator (SPI) successfully received by the NodeB. PBR is reported by the NodeB
to the RNC periodically.
The RNC performs PBR-based admission control only when the HSUPA PBR measurement switch is
turned on (HSUPA_PBR_MEAS under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is set to 1). If the sum of
PBRs of some UEs is larger than the sum of their GBRs multiplied by a certain factor, the RNC
decides that the QoS requirements of the cell are met. In this case, the RNC can admit new services.
PBR-based service admission succeeds if any of the following criteria are met:
Issue 03 (2012-11-30)

3-9
WCDMA RAN
Where
ThdL
is the PBR threshold (HsupaLowPriorityUserPBRThd) for all HSUPA users whose

scheduling priorities are lower than the priority of users to be admitted.
ThdE
is the PBR threshold (HsupaEqualPriorityUserPBRThd) for all HSUPA users whose

scheduling priorities are equal to the priority of users to be admitted.
ThdGE
is the PBR threshold (HsupaHighPriorityUserPBRThd) for all HSUPA users whose

scheduling priorities are higher than the priority of users to be admitted.
Load-based admission decisions

For HSUPA scheduling services, if the sum of the RTWP-based total uplink load (UL,HSUPA-Total) and
the load increase caused by the new service (UL) is lower than or equal to UlCellTotalThd,
load-based service admission succeeds. Otherwise, load-based service admission fails.
For HSUPA non-scheduling services, load-based service admission succeeds only when both of the

Downlink Power-based Admission Decisions for R99 Cells Based on

Algorithm 1
In an R99 cell, downlink power-based admission decisions are made according to the TCP-based total
downlink load, which is calculated in real time by the load measurement module of the RNC. It is
represented by DL,R99-Total and calculated using the following formula:
DL,R99-Total = TCP + DL,CCH
Where
TCP is equal to the transmitted carrier power (TCP), which is the ratio of the total transmitted power on
one downlink carrier to the maximum transmission power (set by the MaxTxPower parameter).
DL,CCH is the reserved load on the downlink common channels. It is set by the DlCCHLoadRsrvCoeff
parameter.
Upon receiving a service access request, the RNC makes the downlink power-based admission decision
for an R99 service. The procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC calculates the downlink load increase (DL) based on the initial admission rate of the
service and the pilot signal quality the user receives.

2. If the TCP-based total downlink load (DL,R99-Total) is lower than or equal to the corresponding
admission threshold (DlConvAMRThd, DlConvNonAMRThd, DlOtherThd, or DlHOThd), the RNC
admits the service. Otherwise, the RNC rejects the service.
When the OLC algorithm switch (DL_UU_OLC under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned on, the downlink
OLC triggering threshold (DlOlcTrigThd) is used as the admission threshold.
When the OLC algorithm switch (DL_UU_OLC under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned off, the admission
threshold is 100%.
Downlink Power-based Admission Decisions for HSPA Cells Based on

Algorithm 1
In an HSPA cell, downlink power-based admission decisions are made based on the following load
measurements:
TCP-based total downlink load, which is represented by DL,HSDPA-Total and calculated using the
following formula:
DL,HSDPA-Total = TCP + DL,CCH + DL,HSUPARes
Where DL,HSUPARes is the power load reserved for HSUPA downlink control channels
(E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-HICH). It is set by the DlHSUPARsvdFactor parameter. The other variables are
defined the same way as for an R99 cell in "Downlink Power-based Admission Decisions for R99 Cells
Based on Algorithm 1."
Downlink non-HSPA power load, which is represented by DL,NonHSPA. It is the ratio of the total
transmitted power of the codes not used for HS-PDSCH/HS-SCCH/E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-HICH
transmission on one downlink carrier to the maximum transmission power (set by the MaxTxPower
parameter). DL,NonHSPA is measured by the NodeB and periodically reported to the RNC.
Load of HSDPA power requirement for GBR (HSDPA GBP), which is represented by DL,GBP and
calculated based on the GBR of HSDPA users in the cell. The NodeB periodically reports DL,GBP to the
RNC.
HSDPA GBP-based total downlink load, which is represented by DL,GBP-Total and calculated using the
following formula:
DL,GBP-Total = DL,NonHSPA + min (DL,GBP + DL,HSUPARes, DL,MaxHSPA) + DL,CCH

Where DL,MaxHSPA is the threshold for the maximum available HSDPA power. It is calculated based on
the HspaPower parameter.
The total downlink load for preferential admission of R99 services, which is represented by
DL,R99Prefer-Total. When the GBR for HSDPA services is too high, the HSDPA GBP-based total downlink
load may also be too high, and therefore R99 service admission is difficult. In this case, DL,R99Prefer-Total
DL,R99Prefer-Total = DL,NonHSPA + ThdHSDPAMaxGBP + DL,HSUPARes + DL,CCH

Where ThdHSDPAMaxGBP is the maximum guaranteed load threshold for HSDPA services when the RNC
makes an admission decision on an R99 service. It is set by the HsdpaMaxGBPThd parameter.
Upon receiving a service access request, the RNC performs the downlink power-based admission
decision. The procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC calculates the downlink load increase (DL) based on the initial admission rate of the
service and the pilot signal quality the user receives.

2. The RNC determines whether to admit the service. The admission criteria vary with the bearer type in
an HSPA cell.
The admission criteria for different bearer types in an HSPA cell are as follows:
For the DCH RAB
If the bearer type is the DCH RAB, a service is admitted only when the following criteria are both met:
1. The sum of the downlink non-HSPA power load (DL,NonHSPA) and the load increase caused by the
new service (DL) is lower than or equal to the corresponding admission threshold
(DlConvAMRThd, DlConvNonAMRThd, DlOtherThd, or DlHOThd).
2. The sum of the TCP-based total downlink load (DL,HSDPA-Total) and the load increase caused by the
new service (DL), the sum of the total downlink load based on the guaranteed power for HSDPA
services (DL,GBP-Total) and the load increase caused by the new service (DL), or the sum of the total
downlink load for preferential admission of R99 services (DL,R99Prefer-Total) and the load increase
caused by the new service (DL) is lower than or equal to the threshold for the total downlink power
of the cell (DlCellTotalThd). Otherwise, the RNC rejects the service.
threshold is 100%.
If the current cell supports DC-HSDPA, the current total power of the DC-HSDPA cell group must also be
lower than the sum of the total downlink power threshold of the primary cell and that of the secondary
cell for DCH RAB admission.
For the HSDPA RAB
If the bearer type is the HSDPA RAB, the CAC algorithm combines the PBR-based admission control
with the load-based admission control. The RNC admits an HSDPA service if either PBR-based
admission or load-based admission succeeds.
PBR-based admission decisions

The downlink PBR is the effective downlink throughput on all UEs corresponding to an SPI
successfully sent by the NodeB. PBR is reported by the NodeB to the RNC periodically.
The RNC performs PBR-based admission control only when the HSDPA PBR measurement switch is
turned on (HSDPA_PBR_MEAS under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is set to 1). If the sum of
PBRs of some UEs is larger than the sum of their GBRs multiplied by a certain factor, the RNC
decides that the QoS requirements of the cell are met. In this case, the RNC can admit new services.
PBR-based service admission succeeds if equation a (for streaming services) or equation b (for BE
services) is satisfied:
a.

Load-based service admission succeeds only when both of the following criteria are met:
The

lower than or equal to the threshold for the maximum available HSDPA power, which is equal to 1-10

Otherwise, load-based service admission fails.

If the current cell supports DC-HSDPA, the total power of the DC-HSDPA cell group must be lower than
the sum of the downlink total power threshold of the primary cell and that of the secondary cell for
HSDPA RAB admission.
Conversational services in the PS domain carried on HSPA RABs can be considered as streaming services in admission
control.
For the DC-HSDPA RAB

If the bearer type is the DC-HSDPA RAB, admission control is based on the power of the DC-HSDPA cell
group because the RAB is set up on both carriers.
The RNC admits DC-HSDPA RABs in the following situations:
PBR-based service admission in the DC-HSDPA cell group succeeds. PBR-based admission control
in the DC-HSDPA cell group is similar to that in the SC-HSDPA cell. The difference between them is
that users selected during an admission decision are DC-HSDPA users in the DC-HSDPA cell group,
not SC-HSDPA users.
Load-based service admission in the DC-HSDPA cell group succeeds. This means that the total
downlink load factor of the DC-HSDPA cell group is lower than the sum of the total downlink load
threshold of the primary cell and that of the secondary cell.
For HSUPA Control Channels

The power for downlink control channels (E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-HICH) is specified by the
DlHSUPARsvdFactor parameter. Therefore, power-based admission control is not required on these
channels.

For MBMS
For details about MBMS, see the MBMS Feature Parameter Description.

There are two types of power-based admission decisions based on algorithm 2: uplink and downlink.
The ENU of MBMS downlink control channels (MICH and MCCH) is reserved. Therefore, power-based
admission is not performed on these channels.
The ENU of HSUPA downlink control channels (E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and E-HICH) is reserved by
DlHSUPARsvdFactor. Therefore, power-based admission is not performed on these channels.
Equivalent Number of Users

When the activation factor is 100%, a 12.2 kbit/s AMR service is defined as one ENU. The following
aspects are considered when the ENU is calculated:
Cell type (a typical urban cell or a suburban cell)
Traffic QoS, which is the Block Error Rate (BLER)
Target number of retransmissions
The activity factor of the traffic type, which can be set with the SET UADMCTRL command.

Uplink ENU Resource Admission Decisions

In the uplink, ENU-based admission decisions are made based on the following load measurements:
Uplink total ENU load, which is represented by UL,ENU and calculated using the following formula:
UL,ENU = ENUUL,Total/ENUUL,Max + UL,CCH

Where
ENUUL,Total is the sum of ENUs corresponding to the RABs in a cell.
ENUUL,Max is the maximum ENU of a cell. It is set by the UlTotalEqUserNum parameter.
UL,CCH is the reserved load on the uplink common channels. It is set by the UlCCHLoadFactor
parameter.
The total uplink load of ENU for preferential admission of R99 services, which is represented by
UL,R99Prefer-ENU. When the GBR for HSUPA services is too high, the total uplink load of ENU may also
be too high, and therefore R99 service admission is difficult. In this case, UL,R99Prefer-ENU ensures that
R99 services are preferentially admitted. It is calculated using the following formula:
UL,R99Prefer-ENU = UL,DCH_ENU + Thd HSUPAMaxGBP
Where
UL,DCH_ENU is the ENU load of all DCH RABs in a cell. It is the ratio of the sum of ENUs for all DCH
RABs to the maximum ENU in a cell (UlTotalEqUserNum).

If a cell is not in the OLC state, the RNC makes the uplink ENU-based admission decision. The
procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC estimates the ENU load (UL,ENU) based on the initial admission rate of the service.
2. The RNC determines whether to admit the service.
If
the bearer type is the DCH RAB, the RNC admits a service when the sum of the uplink total ENU
load (UL,ENU) and the ENU load increase caused by the new service (UL,ENU) is lower than or equal

Downlink ENU Resource Admission Decisions

In the downlink, ENU-based admission decisions are made based on the following load measurements:
Downlink total ENU load, which is represented by DL,ENU and calculated using the following formula:
DL,ENU = ENUDL,Total/ENUDL,Max + DL,CCH

Where
ENUDL,Total is the sum of ENUs corresponding to the RABs in a cell.

3.4 CAC Based on NodeB Credit Resources

NodeB credit resource-based admission is optional for admission control. This admission mode takes
effect only when NODEB_CREDIT_CAC_SWITCH under the CacSwitch parameter and
CRD_ADCTRL under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter are selected.
3.4.1 NodeB Credit Resources

The NodeB credit resource is a concept on the RNC side. It is referred to as the channel element (CE)
on the NodeB side.
CEs are used to measure the channel demodulation capability of NodeBs. CEs are classified into uplink
and downlink CEs.
One uplink CE needs to be consumed by an uplink 12.2 kbit/s voice service (SF = 64) plus 3.4 kbit/s
signaling traffic.
One downlink CE needs to be consumed by a downlink 12.2 kbit/s voice service (SF = 128) plus 3.4
kbit/s signaling traffic.
If only 3.4 kbit/s signaling traffic is carried on a DCH or HSPA channel, one CE is still needed. CEs have
been reserved for common and HSDPA-related channels. For details about CEs and CE consumption of
different types of service, see the CE Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.
NodeB credit resource-based admission is implemented at NodeB level, local cell group (LCG) level (if
any), and local cell (LC) level. Cells in an LCG share the CEs of the LCG in the uplink. The NodeB sends
the RNC an audit response message, reporting the CE capability of the three levels. The NodeB
considers physical and licensed CEs when reporting the CE capability to the RNC.
The NodeB-level CEs are the licensed CEs supported by the NodeB.
In the uplink, the number of LCG-level CEs are the smaller one between the number of LCG-level
physical CEs and the number of NodeB-level licensed CEs. In the downlink, the number of LCG-level
CEs are the sum of downlink CEs on all boards of the LCG.
In the uplink, the LC-level CEs are the physical CEs of the uplink resource group to which the cell
belongs. In the downlink, the LC-level CEs are the physical CEs of the baseband processing board to
which the cell belongs.
The relationship between NodeB credit resources and CEs is as follows:
In the uplink, the quantity of NodeB credit resources is twice that of CEs.
In the downlink, the quantity of NodeB credit resources equals that of CEs.
The RNC calculates the remaining NodeB credit resources based on the reported CE capability,
relationship between NodeB credit resources and CEs, and the CE consumption rule. The RNC
implements admission control based on the calculation result. Uplink and downlink CEs are independent
from each other. Therefore, NodeB credit resource-based admission is implemented separately in the
uplink and downlink.
3.4.2 NodeB Credit Resource-based Admission Decisions

In NodeB credit resource-based admission, the admission criteria vary with the service request.
NodeB credit resource-based admission is not required for common and HSDPA-related channels because CEs have
been reserved for these channels.

RRC Connection Setup Requests

For an RRC connection setup request, NodeB credit resource-based admission is implemented as
follows:
set to 0, NodeB credit resource-based admission succeeds if the available credit resources of the local
cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB are sufficient for setting up an RRC connection.
set to 1, the RNC implements NodeB credit resource-based admission based on the cause carried in
the RRC connection setup request:
If
the cause is "Emergency Call" or "Detach", NodeB credit resource-based admission succeeds if
the available credit resources are sufficient.
For
any other cause, the RNC must ensure that the available credit resources of the local cell, local
cell group (if any), and NodeB exceed the reserved credit resources upon admitting an RRC
connection setup request. The reserved credit resources are calculated using SF which is specified
by RSVDBIT12 under the RsvdPara1 parameter in the ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH command.
a. If RSVDBIT12 under the RsvdPara1 parameter is set to 0, SF64 is used for the uplink and SF128
is used for the downlink.
b. If RSVDBIT12 under the RsvdPara1 parameter is set to 1, SF16 is used for the uplink and SF32 is
used for the downlink.
Handover Service Requests

For a handover service request, NodeB credit resource-based admission succeeds if the available credit
resources of the local cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB are sufficient for the service to be
admitted.
PS Service/CS Service (Non-AMR Service) Requests

For PS or CS service (non-AMR service) requests, the RNC must ensure that the available credit
resources of the local cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB exceed the reserved credit resources
upon admitting a new service. The reserved credit resources are calculated using SF which is specified
by the UlHoCeResvSf (for the uplink) or DlHoCeCodeResvSf (for the downlink) parameter.
AMR Service Requests

For AMR service requests,
set to 0, the RNC must ensure that the available credit resources of the local cell, local cell group (if
any), and NodeB exceed the reserved credit resources upon admitting a new service. The reserved
credit resources are calculated using SF which is specified by the UlHoCeResvSf (for the uplink) or
DlHoCeCodeResvSf (for the downlink) parameter.
set to 1, NodeB credit resource-based admission succeeds if the available credit resources of the local
cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB are sufficient for the service to be admitted.

3.6 CAC Based on the Number of HSPA Users

3.6.1 CAC for HSDPA Users
HSDPA admission control is based on the number of HSDPA users.
When a new HSDPA service attempts to access the network, the algorithm admits the service if the
following conditions are met:
The number of HSDPA users in the cell does not exceed the maximum value specified by the
MaxHsdpaUserNum parameter.
The number of HSDPA users in the cell does not exceed the licensed number of users.
The number of HSDPA users in NodeB does not exceed the maximum value specified by the
NodeBHsdpaMaxUserNum parameter.
Otherwise, the HSDPA service performs Directed Retry Decision (DRD) to access one of the cells that
support blind handovers. If none of these cells can be accessed, the HSDPA service is degraded to an
R99 service and then attempts to access a cell. For details about DRD, see the Directed Retry Decision
3.6.2 CAC for HSUPA Users

HSUPA admission control is based on the number of HSUPA users.
When a new HSUPA service attempts to access the network, the algorithm admits the service if the
following conditions are met:
The number of HSUPA users in the cell does not exceed the maximum value specified by the
MaxHsupaUserNum parameter.
The number of HSDPA users in the cell does not exceed the licensed number of users.
The number of HSUPA users in NodeB does not exceed the maximum value specified by the
NodeBHsupaMaxUserNum parameter.
Otherwise, the HSUPA service performs Directed Retry Decision (DRD) to access one of the cells that

3.7 Common Channel Admission

This section describes CAC for common channels, which are classified in the following manner:
Common channels except the enhanced FACH and enhanced RACH channels
The common channels except the EFACH (E-FACH for short) and ERACH (E-RACH for short)
channels are referred to as traditional common channels in the following sections.
E-FACH and E-RACH channels
3.7.1 CAC on Traditional Common Channels

The amount of consumed resources for traditional common channels keeps a steady level in general.
The RNC does not perform admission control on users over traditional common channels except the
users over the FACH, on which the RNC will perform admission control by considering the number of
online users on the FACH and the cell overload status.
Issue 03 (2012-11-30)

3-20
WCDMA RAN
CAC for Users on the FACH

The number of online users on the FACH per cell is limited by RNC. Generally, the maximum number of
online users on the FACH is 30. The number can be increased to 60 by turning on
RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT1 in the ReservedSwitch0 parameter of the SET UNBMPARA command.
If internal RNC specifications are reached, the RNC rejects subsequent service requests on the FACH.
The RNC performs flow control in case of FACH congestion in a cell. For details, see Flow Control
With CAC, an overloaded cell can accept FACH resource requests only from emergency calls,
detachments, and registrations. Admitting or rejecting FACH resource requests from other service types
in an overloaded cell is specified by the FACH_UU_ADCTRL switch of the NBMCacAlgoSwitch
parameter.
When this switch is turned on, FACH resource requests from other service types in an overloaded cell
are rejected.
When this switch is turned off, the RNC decides whether to admit the request according to the number
of online users on the FACH per cell.
Reserved Resources for Traditional Common Channels

The reserved resources for traditional common channels are as follows:
Code resources
Traditional common channels are first set up when a cell is established. Channel code resources have
been allocated when channel setup is complete.
Power resources
The RNC reserves some power resources for traditional common channels and the resource reserving
thresholds are configurable.
Reserved
power load factor for the uplink common channel: It is set by the UlCCHLoadFactor
parameter.
Reserved
power load factor for the downlink common channels: It is set by the
DlCCHLoadRsrvCoeff parameter.
Reserved
power load factor for the HSUPA downlink common control channels, including E-AGCH,
E-RGCH, and E-HICH channels: It is set by the DlHSUPARsvdFactor parameter.
The reserved power specified by UlCCHLoadFactor/DlCCHLoadRsrvCoeff is mainly used for RACH and FACH. The
power consumed for other types of traditional common channels is fixed and calculated in the total downlink power load
of the cell, and therefore does not need to be reserved.
NodeB CE resources
The NodeB reserves CE resources for traditional common channels. For details about CE
consumption for common channels, see CE Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.
Iub transmission resources

The RNC reserves Iub transmission bandwidth for traditional common channels. For details about
CAC based on Iub transmission resources, see the Transmission Resource Management Feature
Parameter Description.
3.7.2 CAC on the E-FACH or E-RACH

The E-FACH and E-RACH channels are over HSPA channels, which consume more resources than
traditional common channels do. Therefore, the RNC implements CAC based on power resources, Iub
transmission resources, and number of users in turn.
Issue 03 (2012-11-30)

3-21
WCDMA RAN
For details about CAC based on Iub transmission resources, see the Transmission Resource
Management Feature Parameter Description.
CAC Based on the Number of E-FACH and E-RACH Users

The admission criteria based on the number of E-FACH and E-RACH users are as follows:
For a resource request on the E-FACH

If the number of E-FACH users in a cell does not exceed the value of MAXEFACHUserNum after the
resource request is admitted, the RNC will admit the resource request. Otherwise, the RNC will reject
the resource request.
For a resource request on the E-RACH

If the number of E-RACH users in a cell does not exceed the value of MAXERACHUserNum after the
resource request is admitted, the RNC will admit the resource request. Otherwise, the RNC will reject
the resource request.
CAC Based on Power Resources

The admission policy based on the power resources for resource requests on the E-FACH and E-RACH
is similar to that for resource requests on common HSPA channels.
Power-based admission algorithms 1 and 3

When one of algorithms 1 and 3 is selected in NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch or
NBMDlCacAlgoSelSwitch, the admission policy for resource requests on the E-FACH and E-RACH
is basically the same as that for RAB setup requests of the SC-HSDPA/SC-HSUPA services. The only
difference is that the estimated load increase of a new E-FACH or E-RACH user is set to 0 because
E-FACH and E-RACH activities are low.
Power-based admission algorithm 2

This algorithm is not implemented for resource requests on the E-FACH and E-RACH.
When algorithm 2 is selected in NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch or NBMDlCacAlgoSelSwitch, the
power-based admission algorithm does not take effect for resource requests on the E-FACH and
E-RACH. In this situation, the RNC implements CAC based only on Iub resources and number of
users.
With CAC, an overloaded cell can accept E-FACH resource requests only from emergency calls,
detachments, and registrations. Admitting or rejecting E-FACH resource requests from other service
types in an overloaded cell is specified by the FACH_UU_ADCTRL switch of the NBMCacAlgoSwitch
parameter.
When this switch is turned on, E-FACH resource requests from other service types in an overloaded
cell are rejected.
When this switch is turned off, the RNC decides whether to admit the request according to the number
of E-FACH users per cell.
The FACH_UU_ADCTRL switch of the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter also takes effect for E-RACH
users in an overloaded cell. This is because the E-RACH depends on the E-FACH and E-RACH users
consume the E-FACH resources in the downlink.
