The NRT DCH RAB can be downgraded or released due the multiple causes.
1. Dynamic Link optimization for NRT traffic coverage (DyLO) the existing NRT DCH
can be downgraded in the downlink transmission power exceed a predefined threshold
2. Enhanced Overload Control (RAS05 Optional feature) -In an overload situation PS
start modification or reconfiguration of existing NRT DCHs radio bearers to be able to
decrease loading.
3. Priority Based Scheduling (RAS05 Optional feature) - Existing NRT allocations can
be downgraded or released if there are other users requesting initial capacity in the
congested situation
4. Throughput Based Optimization (RAS51 Optional feature) - Throughput based
optimization of the PS algorithm adapts the DCH resource reservation to meet the actual
utilization (or used bit rate) of the DCH.
5. Maximum bit rate limitation Another RAB is setup for the same UE
RAS05.1 supports the following multi-services:
Maximum 3 NRT (interactive/Background) PS RABs,
AMR + maximum 3 NRT (interactive/background) PS RABs,
CS-T + maximum 3 NRT (interactive/background) PS RABs,
1 RT PS (streaming) RAB + maximum 3 NRT (interactive/background) PS RABs.
6. Inactivity of the radio bearer
The DCH downgrade procedure is performed in CELL_DCH state and it can be performed by
Reconfiguration of radio bearer (also transmission, WBTS and RNC resources)
Limitation of the maximum transport format combinations (temporary)
The NRT DCH RAB can be upgraded due to
1. High amount of data in buffer Capacity Request/Bit Rate upgrade
2. High Utilization/throughput (RAS51 Optional feature) Flexible upgrade of the NRT
DCH data rate
The dedicated channel upgrade procedure is performed in CELL_DCH state and it requires the
reconfiguration of radio link, transmission and RNC internal resources
UE specific part of the packet scheduler is monitoring utilization of one NRT DCH RAB.
Example below shows packet scheduler actions during PS call when cell is unloaded, and
throughput based optimisation and flexible upgrade is activated.
AC - AC makes admission decision and allocates a 0 bit rate to the NRT radio bearer
PS1 - Bit rate allocation, after receiving a capacity request PS allocates initial bit rate
PS2 - Flexible upgrade, after receiving a capacity request PS allocates maximum (high) bit
rate
PS3 - Throughput-based optimisation, PS performs radio bearer reconfiguration to lower bit
rate
PS4 - Flexible upgrade, PS performs radio bearer reconfiguration to higher bit rate
PS5 - RRC state transition, PS initiates state transition to CELL_FACH due to inactivity
Load control provides periodical load information on cell basis to the cell-specific packet
scheduler. This information includes BTS measurements and estimates made by load control.
Example below shows packet scheduler actions during SP call when cell is loaded. Enhanced
Priority Based scheduling and overload control is activated.
AC - AC makes admission decision and allocates a 0 bit rate to the NRT radio bearer
PS1 - Priority based scheduling, after receiving a capacity request PS allocates initial bit rate
after downgrading an existing bearer (load margin)
PS2 - Flexible upgrade, after receiving a capacity request PS allocates higher bit rate (normal
load)
PS3 - Enhanced Overload control, PS performs RB reconfiguration to until min. bit rate
(overload)
PS4 - Flexible upgrade, PS performs radio bearer reconfiguration to higher bit rate (normal
load)
PS5 - RRC state transition, PS initiates state transition to CELL_FACH due to inactivity
Enhanced Overload control and Priority based scheduling threat HSDPA UL return
channel as a normal DCH and can cause downgrade or release of it, if activated.
If Flexible upgrade and Throughput based optimization features are activated in the
Network It is possible to activate them to HSDPA Associated UL Channel also by
Enabling Parameter DynUsageHSDPAReturnChannel (Dynamic usage of UL NRT DCH
HSDPA return Channel)
This parameter is used to switch "On" and "Off" the Flexible Upgrade of NRT
Data Rate and Throughput Based Optimisation of the PS Algorithm feature used
for UL NRT DCH HSDPA return channel.
If Throughput based optimisation is activated to UL return channel, it can be
downgraded due the low utilization until minimum bit rate

Comment
Only one operator is using the default.
97% of operators are using 5.
Most operators are using 400 ms
(86%).
Recommendation is 700ms. No clear
differentiation according to SRB
bitrate. 52% of networks are using
700ms.
Most operators are using 64kbps.

* Prior to RAS51, Initial and minimum allowed bit rate is set with the parameter
MinAllowedBitRateUL/DL. From RAS51 onwards there is own parameters for minimum and
initial bit rate.
These customer parameters sets were collected by the 3G SIG during 2007 and can be further
studied in Error: Reference source not found. It can be useful to propose a PS parameter
optimization based on these results as the survey shows that some settings have been done for
historical rather than technical reasons (ie MinAllowedBitRateDL/ MinAllowedBitRateUL).
