Introduction
2.1
Function Introduction
The dynamic radio bearer c ontrol (DRB C) is to allocate res ources reasonably during the
system operation according to subscriber requirements and system resource utilization
to make full use of the bandwidth.
According to the state of DRB C switch DrbcSwch, it is to open or close service channel
switching dynamically. If the DRB C switch DrbcS wch is set to ON, then consider the
other switchs state, which means the other functions should on the premise that DRBC
switch DrbcSwc h is set to ON. If the DRB C switch DrbcS wch is set to OFF, after initial
service channel allocation, the service will not switch channel before the end of service.
(Not e: Signaling channel allocation and switching are not under the control of this DRBC
switch DrbcSwc h.)
WCDMA PS services can be borne on CELL_DCH or CELL_FACH. Based on the
realtime t raffic, transmission power of radio links, and cell load, the bandwidth and
bearer channel for PS services may change dynamically.
The DRB C module can dynamically adjust the bearer c hannel and realtime rate of PS
and CS services, ensuring the full utilization of radio resources, system stability, and
service QoS.
The DRBC policies include:
Initial Channel Allocation
During channel setup, the DRBC allocates proper channel and rate for the service
according to service requirements and system status. Including:
Signaling Channel Allocation
Initial Service Channel Allocation
Conc urrent Service Channel Allocation
Channel Switching
The DRB C selects appropriate transport channels according to the actual rate of PS
services. If the PS rate changes, the channel type also changes. The system monitors
the actual rate of PS services. If the actual data flow is smaller than the allocated
bandwidth, the system decreases the configured bandwidt h to save resources. When
the actual data flow is close to the allocated bandwidth, the system increases the
configured bandwidth to prevent the service from being affected.
During the session, the DRB C adjusts the service bandwidth and hands over channels
in realtime according to various measurements. The conversation service uses DL
DCH/UL DCH, streaming services use CE LL_DCH, and interactive and background
services use CELL_FA CH and CE LL_DCH. (Note: This FD does not include VoIP
related content, so the parameter VoIPChQS wc h does not use.)The figure of state
transitions currently supported by system is as follows:

CELL_DCH service uses channels of the following types: DL HS-DSCH/UL E -DCH,

DL HS -DS CH/UL DCH, and DL DCH/UL DCH. Network side will determine different
channel types for services based on different NodeBs, support capabilities of UE,
and service features. Switching could be performed between different channel

types. And the rates of DL DCH and UL DCH can be adjusted dynamically.
2.1.1
CELL_FACH service can use DL FA CH/ UL RA CH.
Except not supporting to switch from URA _PCH to CELL_DCH directly, the
channels in URA_PCH, CELL_FA CH, and CE LL_DCH states can be switched
among each other.

When a subscriber requests a service setup, the system chooses the transport channel
by the service type and rate allocat ed by the RAB sent by the CN.
The DL DCH/ UL DCH is chosen for CS real -time services.
I/B service in PS domain selects channels: DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH, DL HSDSCH/UL DCH, DL DCH/ UL DCH, DL FACH/UL RACH, and then selects proper
channel from the above channel set based on MaxBR, the capabilities of t he cell
and UE.
C/S servic e in PS domain selects channels in t he following priority order: DL HSDSCH/UL E-DCH -> DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH -> DL DCH/UL DCH, and then selects
the proper channel from the above set based on capabilities of the cell and UE.
Relationships of supported channel types based on capabilities of the UE and cell are as

Determination of channel rate: For streaming, interactive, or background PS services,

the Initial rate is used for service admission and bandwidth allocation. The initial rate
function allocates adapted bandwidt h to guarant ee the user feeling, and then adjust with
traffic volume fluctuation. If Initial rate access was failed, it will try to reaccess DCH with
low-rate start.
The slow-rate start policy configures the radio paramet ers that meet the lowest QoS
requirements during the service setup. The subsequent dynamic adjustment of
bandwidth is increased according to the actual traffic requirements. The DRBC adjusts
the service bandwidth between the guaranteed bit rate and maximum bit rate to meet
the QoS requirements.
2.1.2
Channel Switching
The data demand changes when a subscriber is using a service. Therefore, it is required
to adjust the demand of the subscriber in time to satisfy the subscriber; or release the
unneeded resources of the subscriber to offer to other subscribers, ensuring the
effective utilization of resources.
During the session, the dynamic channel switching is to adjust the service bandwidth
and hands over channels in real time according to various meas urements. The system
supports the following handovers of different versions:
R99 version:
CELL_DCH (DL DCH/ UL DCH) -> CELL_DCH (DL DCH/ UL DCH)
DL DCH -> DL DCH (rate increase)
DL DCH -> DL DCH (rate decrease)
UL DCH -> UL DCH (rate increase)
UL DCH -> UL DCH (rate decrease)
CELL_DCH (DL DCH/ UL DCH) <-> CE LL_FACH (DL FACH/UL RA CH)
CELL_DCH (DL DCH/ UL DCH) -> URA _PCH
CELL_FACH (DL FA CH/ UL RA CH) <-> URA_P CH
CELL_DCH (DL DCH/ UL DCH) -> IDLE
CELL_FACH (DL FA CH/ UL RA CH) -> IDLE
URA _PCH -> IDLE
Newly added channel switching in HSDPA version which supports the entire channel
switching in R99 version:

CELL_DCH(DL HS-DS CH) <-> DL DCH
CELL_DCH(DL HS-DS CH/UL DCH) -> URA _PCH

CELL_DCH ( DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH) -> URA_P CH
CELL_DCH (DL HS -DS CH/ UL E-DCH) -> IDLE
DRBC
In R99 version, DL DCH/ UL DCH and DL FACH/UL RA CH can carry the PS services of
WCDMA. The real-time t raffic and transmission power of radio links, cell load, channel
occupancy, bandwidth, and bearer channel types of PS services may change
dynamically. DRBC calculation realizes the function of dynamic adjustment, mak es full
use of system radio resources, ensuring system stability and servic e QoS.
The data rat es of streaming, interactive, and background services can be changed.
Generally, the rate of streaming services will be guaranteed in a higher priority than
interactive and background services.
The traffic is the main parameter which DRB C measures. Other related parameters
includes UE internal TxP measurement, NodeB dedicated TCP measurement, and pilot
channel quality measurement.
The basic policy of DRB C calculation is:
The service feature should be in consistency with the final bearer channel. For
example, real -time services are c arried by DL DCH/UL DCH; low-rate interactive or
background services are carried by DL FACH/UL RA CH; while high-rate interactive
or background services are carried by DL DCH/UL DCH in R99 cells.
The bandwidt h of DCH should be exact the required bandwidth of services. When a
service requires less bandwidth, the bandwidth assigned to the service should be
adjusted correspondingly. The remaining bandwidth can be used by other
subscribers.
When the bandwidth of DCH increases, the real -time transmission power of radio
links and cell load should be taken into consideration to ensure the stability of the
calculation and suppress the fluctuation.
The optimized dynamic configuration of radio bandwidth is realized based on policies

such as DRB C, admission control, load control, and c ongestion cont rol. For more details
of admission c ontrol, see ZTE UMTS A dmission Cont rol Feature Guide; for load control,
see ZTE UMTS Overload Control Feature Guide; for congestion control, see ZTE UMTS
Congestion Control Feature Guide.
R99 DRBC calculation can be divided into initial c hannel allocation calculation and
channel switching calculation.
1
Initial Channel Allocation Calculation
When a subscriber requests to establish a RAB, the transport channel (DL FACH/UL
RACH, DL DCH/UL DCH) will be selected based on the UE capability, service type, and
rate.
2
Channel Switching Calculation
The handovers from dedicated channels to common channels are bas ed on the
comparis on between the capacity measurements of uplink and downlink
transmitting buffer areas and the thresholds. If the measurements are lower than
the threshold, and the rate threshold of common channels is higher than the
required rate, the services will be handed over from CELL_DCH state to
CELL_FACH state. If there is no traffic for long, services will be handed over from
CELL_FACH state to URA_P CH or IDLE state. The handovers from dedicated
channels to common channels also may be triggered by load control. If the
downlink load of the cell exceeds the overload threshold, the services will be
handed over from dedicated CE LL_DCH state to common CELL_FA CH state.
The handovers from common channels to dedicated channels are bas ed on the
comparis on between the capacity measurements of UE uplink and downlink
transmitting buffer areas and the thres holds. If uplink or downlink measurements
are higher t han t he threshold, the servic es will be handed over from common
channels to dedicated channels.
The dynamic adjustment SF (DASF) calculation for dedicated channels: to satisfy

the increasing demand of resourc es for subscribers, or release the unneeded
resources to offer to other subscribers, it is required to adjust the occupied
dedicated res ources in time.
If the traffic measurement exceeds the preset thres hold, and both dedicat ed
transmission power and cell load do not exceed the preset thresholds, the
transmit rate will be increased. For details, see DL DCH -> DL DCH rate
increase and UL DCH -> UL DCH rate increase. If the traffic measurement
is lower than preset threshold, the transmit rate will be decreased. For details,
see DL DCH -> DL DCH rate decrease and UL DCH -> UL DCH rate
decrease.
2.3
The changes of downlink dedicated transmission power or uplink transmission

power will also trigger the DASF. The uplink and downlink trigger the uplink
and downlink DASF adjustments separately and independently. When there
are services sent by the Uu interfac e, the system will trigger DASF with the
maximum transmission power allowed by OMC configuration. If t he
transmission power exceeds the preset high threshold, the network will
decrease the data rate till the transmission power is lower than t he preset low
threshold. By this, PS service subscribers obtain relatively high dat a rate when
the NodeB is close, and obtain lower data rat e when the NodeB is remote.
Thus, the coverage of PS services is expanded, the call drop rate during
handovers from high-rate services to low-rat e servic es is decreased. For
details, see DL DCH -> DL DCH rate dec rease and UL DCH -> UL DCH
rate decreas e.
Dynamic Channel Type Transfer for HSDPA

Serv ice
HSDPA DRB C calculation can be divided into initial channel allocat ion calculation and
1.
RACH, DL DCH/UL DCH, DL HS-DS CH/ UL DCH) will be selected based on the UE
capability, channel quality, service type, and rate.
2.
Dynamic channel switching is part of DRBC. See R99 for the whole solution. Herein we
just introduce the related contents with HS DPA. Just like R99, many factors can trigger
channel switching, including changes of traffic/throughput, RAB management, UE
mobility, load balance, and load control.
Traffic-based channel switching
The channel resources will be adjusted dynamically based on the subscribers demand
for actual service data capacity to save the network res ources. When subscribers need
a very high data rate of the actual uplink and downlink I/B servic es, the state switching
from CELL_FA CH to CELL_DCH (DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH) will be triggered. When
subscribers need a very low data rate of the actual uplink and downlink I/B services, the
state switching from CELL_DCH (DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH) to CELL_FACH will be
triggered. When there is no data rate demand, the state switching from CELL_DCH (DL
HS-DSCH/UL DCH) or CELL_FA CH to URA_PCH or IDLE will be triggered. For details,
see HSDPA channel switching.
Channel switching based on load control
When a cell is overloaded, the services can be switched from dedicat ed channel DL HSDSCH/UL DCH to common channel DL FA CH/UL RA CH to reduce t he system load,
ensuring the stability of system. For details, see CE LL_DCH -> CE LL_FACH Channel
Switching Triggered by Load in HSDPA.
Channel switching based on downlink channel quality
When a UE uses DL HS -DS CH/UL DCH, and moves to the margin of the cell to trigger
the 1F event, the current channel quality is relatively poor and the DL HS -DSCH -> DL
DCH channel switching will be triggered. For details, see Switching from HS -DS CH to
DCH triggered by channel quality.
Mobility-bas ed channel switching
When UEs move, if the capabilities of source cell are different from that of the target cell,
the channel switching will be triggered to ensure the mobility of subscribers. For
example, the sourc e cell supports HS DPA servic es while t arget cell does not support that is, no other cell admits HS-DSCH services - channel realloc ation from HS-DSCH to
DCH will be performed. For details, see HS-DS CH <-> DCH Switching triggered by
mobility.
2.4
Dynamic Channel Type Transfer for HSUPA

Serv ice
HSUPA DRB C calculation can be divided into initial channel allocation calculation and
1.
RACH, DL DCH/UL DCH, DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH, DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH) will be
selected based on the UE capability, channel quality, service type, and rate.
2.
Dynamic channel switching is part of DRBC. See R99 for the whole solution. Herein we
just give some HS UPA-related introduction. Just like R99 and HSDPA, many factors can
trigger channel switching, including changes of traffic/throughput, channel quality, and
UE mobility.
Traffic-based channel switching
The channel resources will be adjusted dynamically based on the subscribers demand
for actual service data capacity to save the network resources. When subscriber need a
very high data rate of the actual I/B services, the state transition from CELL_FACH to
CELL_DCH (DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH) will be triggered. When subscribers need a very
low data rate of the actual uplink and downlink I/B services, the state transition from
CELL_DCH (DL HS-DS CH/ UL E-DCH) to CE LL_FACH will be triggered. When there is
no data rate demand, the state transition from CELL_DCH (HS-DSCH/E-DCH) or
CELL_FACH to URA_P CH or IDLE will be triggered. For details, see HSUPA channel
switching.
Channel switching based on load control
When a cell is overloaded, the services can be switched from dedicat ed channel DL HSDSCH/UL E-DCH to common channel DL FA CH/ UL RACH to reduce the system load,
ensuring the stability of system. For details, see CE LL_DCH -> CE LL_FACH Channel
Switching Triggered by Load in HSUPA.
Channel switching based on downlink channel quality
Just like HS DPA, when a UE uses HS -DS CH/E-DCH, and moves to the margin of the
cell to trigger the 1F event, the current channel quality is relatively poor and the HSDSCH/E-DCH -> DCH/DCH channel switching will be triggered. For det ails, see
Channel switching from DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH -> DL DCH/ UL DCH triggered by
channel quality.
Mobility - based channel switching
When the UE moves, if the capabilities of source cell are different from that of the target
cell, the channel switching will be triggered to ensure the mobility of subscribers. For
example, the sourc e cell supports HS UPA servic es while t arget cell does not support that is, no ot her cell in the active set admits E-DCH services - the hard handover of HSDSCH and channel reallocation from E-DCH to DCH will be performed. For details, see
DL HS-DS CH/ UL E-DCH <-> DL DCH/UL DCH or DL HS-DS CH/ UL DCH channel
switching triggered by mobility.
2.5
RAB Negotiation & Re-negotiation

When RAB setup or relocation, it can execute QoS negotiation, also when the calling
process, it can execute QoS negotiation. RNC get alternative GB R information through
RAB ASSIGNME NT REQUES Tor RELOCA TION RE QUES T from CN, and take this as
the GBR level of this RAB. There are two situations of RAB QoS negotiation /
renegotiation: GBR increas e and GBR decrease.
GBR increase is triggered by event 4A of traffic measurement reports: the traffic
measurement reports of uplink DCH is from UE; the traffic measurement reports of
downlink DCH, downlink HS -DS CH and uplink E-DCH is from user plane. The traffic
measurement adopts the traffic measurement control of DRB C, such as 4A threshold,
trigger time and pending time.
GBR decrease is triggered by cell common overload. When common overload appears,
the executions will be performed as follow: Decreasing the service rate of R99
subscribers, forcedly handing over to inter-frequency or inter-RA T neighboring cell,
deleting the radio link of any soft handover, decreasing GBR, forcedly releasing the
service. For more details of overload, see ZTE UMTS Overload Control Feature Guide)
For more details of RAB QoS negotiation / renegotiation, see ZTE UMTS Services and
Radio Access Bearers Feature Guide)
Technical Description
3.1
DRBC
3.1.1
Introduction to Service Types

Because different types of services have different feat ures, the services have different
requirements for the occupied channel resources during channel allocation. Currently,
the services can be categorized into four types: Conversation, Interactive, Background,
and Streaming.
The conversation and streaming services are real-time services, and interactive and
background services are not real-time services.
3.1.2
3.1.2.1

The OMC provides various parameter options so that the signaling rate c an be flexibly
configured by the paramet er InitRrcOnDc h at different rates on different channels in the
case of RRC connection establishment.
The RNC sets the initial signaling to forcibly use DCH/DCH at 3.4k
When a UE sends a connection setup request to RNC, the RNC configures the
bidirectional 3.4 kbit/s DCH for the UE to bear signaling.
The RNC sets the initial signaling to us e common channel forcibly
When a UE sends a c onnection setup request to RNC, the RNC configures the uplink
RACH or downlink FACH channel for the UE to bear signaling.
10
The RNC sets the initial signaling to choose channel automatically, and setting
DCH/DCH at 3.4k, when dedicated channel is used
When a UE sends a connection setup request to RNC, the RNC automatically select the
dedicated channel (3. 4 kbit/s) or common channel based on the reason for connection
setup: if services are initiated immediately after the setup of RRC connection, RNC will
select DCH channel and configures bidirectional 3.4 kbit/s bear signaling; if there is only
LA update, instead of setting up services, that should be completed after RRC
connection, RNC will select common channel to bear signaling.
dedicated channel (13.6 kbit/s) or common channel based on the reason for connection
select DCH channel and configures bidirectional 13.6 kbit/s bear signaling; if there is
only LA update, instead of setting up services, that should be complet ed after RRC
connection, RNC will select common channel to bear signaling.
dedicated channel (27.2 kbit/s) or common channel based on the reason for connection
select DCH channel and reconfigures bidirectional 27.2 kbit/s bear signaling; if there is
only LA update, instead of setting up services, that should be complet ed after RRC
connection, RNC will reconfigure common channel to bear signaling.
When the RNC sets the initial signaling to c hoose channel automatically, the signaling
will be set on DL DCH/UL DCH bearer in preference if the signaling is set due to the
following reasons: Originating Conversational Call, Originating Streaming Call,
Originating Interactive Call, Originating Background Call, Originating Subscribed traffic
Call, Terminating Conversational Call, Terminating Streaming Call, Terminating
Interactive Call, Terminating Background Call, Emergency Call, Inter-RAT cell change
order, Call re-establishment, and MBMS ptp RB request; if the signaling is set due to
other reasons, it will be set on DL FA CH/ UL RA CH bearer.
High-rate (13.6 kbit/s,27.2kbps ) signaling bearer only exits in a separate signaling
process, and will be restored to ordinary rat e (3.4 kbit/s) after the service is set up. Highrate signaling can effectively speed up the signaling interaction during the UE call setup
and lower the call delay, but it occupies more radio resources than ordinary rate
11
signaling bearer. Using common channel for signaling bearer does not occupy the
dedicated resources. Considering that the separat e signaling process is short, and the
radio connection is released or services are set up after the signaling interaction, the
configuration of high rate signaling is recommended.
3.1.2.2

For a RAB request of a service, the RNC chooses the initial channel for the service by
the servic e features (RAB parameters ). Selection principles:
The conversation and streaming servic es use DL DCH/UL DCH.
The interactive and background services can use DL DCH/UL DCH and DL
FACH/ UL RA CH.
Whether the DL DCH/UL DCH or DL FACH/UL RA CH is used for interactive and

background services depends on the values of MaxBR in RAB allocation and Rfach and
Rrac h. If DL MaxBR is greater than or equal to Rfach, or UL MaxB R is great er than or
equal to Rrach, the DL DCH/UL DCH is chosen in preference. Otherwise, the DL
FACH/ UL RACH is chosen in preference. If FACH/RA CH is rejected to access, the RNC
will reselect the DL DCH/UL DCH to access.
CS 64k service access:
New CS 64k service setup
Check the state of switch Cs64S witch in the cell: if it is closed, CS 64k servic e is not
allowed to access; otherwise CS 64k service is allowed.
For the UE in macro diversity, if any of cells is not allowed to access CS 64k service, it is
not allowed.
CS 64k service already setup
In the scene of hand over cross Iur interface, check the state of switch AdjCs64S witch in
the target cell. If this information cannot acquire, it will consider that CS 64k service is
allowed to access. If the target cell doesnt allow CS 64k service access and it supports
CS 64k service falling back to AMR service, then CS 64k service will fall back to AMR
service, otherwise CS 64k service will not fallback to AMR service.
In the scene of hand over non-cross Iur interface, check the state of switch Cs64S witch
in the target cell. If the t arget cell doesnt allow CS 64k service access and it supports

service, otherwise CS 64k service will not fall back to AMR service.
The initial access rate of DL DCH/ UL DCH of PS services is determined in the following
way:
12
If the DRB C switch DrbcS wch is set to OFF, the DCH initial rate is the minimum DRBC
rate (max (highest rate level of DBRC, GBR), MaxBR). The uplink and downlink DRBC
rate levels are configured by UlRateAdjLev[ MA X_NUM_RA TE _ADJUS T] and
DlRateAdjLev[MA X_NUM_RA TE_A DJUS T] separat ely.
If the DRB C switch DrbcSwch is ON,the DCH initial rate is [UL initial rate, DL initial rate],
if one or two direction(s) of DCH failed in accessing, UL and DL DCH try to access with

DCH rate level can be configured by parameters, with the uplink and downlink rate
configured separately. The parameter UlRateAdjLevNum indicates the number of rate
levels in uplink DCH channel; the parameter UlRateA djLev[ MAX_NUM_RATE_ADJ UST]
indicates the specific rat e levels which can be chosen by uplink DCH channel; the
parameter DlRateA djLevNum indicates the number of rate levels in downlink DCH
channel; the parameter DlRateA djLev[ MAX_NUM_RATE_ADJ UST] indicates the
specific rate levels which can be chosen by the downlink DCH channel. The lowest rate
level is the minimum rat e level.
3.1.2.3
Concurrent Service Channel Allocation

The concurrent service means the setup of new service when a UE already has an
online call service.
If a subscriber is in the CELL_DCH state, the new service is also set up on the
DCH channel. The initial rate of t he new servic e is determined by the same method
as that for a single service.
If t he subscriber is in the CELL_FA CH state, the system judges whether to perform

state transitions according to the new service type.
If the new servic e should be set up on the DL DCH/UL DCH channel

according to the channel allocation principles as for a single service, the UE
should switch from CELL_FACH state to CELL_DCH state, that is, all the
online services will be switched to DCH channel. The initial rate of the new
service is determined by the same method as that for a single service.
If the new service is set up on the DL FA CH/UL RACH channel according to

the channel allocation principles as for a single service, the UE keeps in t he
CELL_FACH state, without impact on the online services.
For concurrent CS and PS (S/I/B) services:
IF the DRB C switch DrbcS wch is set to OFF, the DCH rate of PS (S/I/B) services is
the minimum DRB C rate (max (highest rate level of DRB C, GBR), MaxBR). The
uplink
and
downlink
DRBC
rate
levels
are
configured
by
UlRateAdjLev[MA X_NUM_RA TE_A DJUS T]
and
If the DRB C switch DrbcSwch is ON, the DCH rate of PS (S/I/B) services is the
initial DRBC rate.(see 3.1.2.2). Rate increase is allowed based on rate increase
principles (see UL DCH -> UL DCH (rate increase) and DL DCH -> DL DCH (rate
increase)). The uplink and downlink DRB C rate levels are configured by
15
UlRateAdjLev[MA X_NUM_RA TE_A DJUS T]

and
Where, the GB R of streaming services is the GBR of RAB allocation; the GBR of I/B
services is 0; the MaxBR is the maximum bit rate of RAB allocation by Iu interface.
3.1.3
Channel Switching
The channel switching and dynamic resource adjustments are performed only when the
DRB C switch (DrbcSwc h) is ON.
During t he session, the dynamic channel s witching for the R99 system is to adjust the
service bandwidth and hand over channels in real-time according to the measurements
of traffic, cell load, DL DTCP, and UL UE Txp. The figure below shows the R99 channel
switching that the system currently supports according to the R99 protocol.

3.1.3.1
DL DCH -> DL DCH (Rate Increase)

Rate increase triggered by downlink traffic
The DCH to DCH rate inc rease is based on t he traffic measurement report (E vent 4A)
from the user plane and determined by the dedicated transmission power of the
subscriber and cell load.
16
The 4A event is defined as the traffic measurement larger than an absolute threshold.
See 3.1.4.1Traffic Measurement for its detailed definition.
The E vent A is defined as that the Node B downlink dedicat ed transmission power (DTCP) is greater than an absolute threshold. The E vent B is defined as that the Node B
downlink dedicated transmission power (D-TCP) s smaller than an absolut e threshold.
See 3.1.4.3NodeB Dedicated TCP Measurement for detailed definitions.
The downlink DCH rate increase is triggered in the case of the following conditions:
The DCH rate adjustment triggered by traffic switch DchAdjRateS wch is open.
The system receives consecutive DchE4aThd traffic measurement reports (E vent

4A) from the user plane. (Note: if the system receives a traffic measurement report
(E vent 4B) from the user plane when the receiving times are smaller than the
threshold, the corresponding counter is cleared)
The system receives consecutive DtcpE bThd measurement reports (E vent B) of

NodeB D-TCP, that is, the UE is in B state. (Note: if the system receives a traffic
measurement report (E vent A) of NodeB when the receiving time is smaller than
the threshold, the corresponding counter is cleared.)
The downlink load of the cell is not overloaded (the downlink load is determined by
TCP. For det ails of overload threshold, see ZTE UMTS Overload Control Feature
Guide)
For non-macro diversity, in the case of DCH rate increase:

the target rate of NRT DCH is min (next rate level greater than the current rate in the
DRB C
downlink
rate
levels
DlRat eAdjLev[ MAX_NUM_RATE_A DJUST],
Nrt MaxDlRateDch, DL MaxBR). The MaxBR is the maximum bit rate during RAB
allocation.
the target rate of RT DCH is min (next rate level greater than the current rate in the
DRB C
downlink
rate
levels
DlRat eAdjLev[ MAX_NUM_RATE_A DJUST],
RtMaxDlRateDch, DL MaxB R).
Parameters explaination:see 3.1.2. 2
For macro diversity, in the case of DCH rate increase:
the target rate of Nrt Downlink DCH rate is min (next rate level greater than the current
rate in DRB C downlink rate levels DlRateA djLev[ MAX_NUM_RATE_ADJ UST], DL
MaxB R, the minimum NrtMaxDlRat eDch_new of all connection cells, MaxRateMD). The
MaxRateMD is the maximum rate threshold allowed for DCH when t he UE is in macro
diversity.
the target rate of Rt Downlink DCH rate is min (next rate level greater than the cur rent
rate in DRB C downlink rate levels DlRateA djLev[ MAX_NUM_RATE_ADJ UST], DL
17
MaxB R, the minimum RtMaxDlRateDch_new of all connection cells,MaxRateMD). The

diversity.
The MaxRateMD is the maximum rate threshold allowed for DCH when t he UE is in
macro diversity.
In case of the concurrence of C (CS) services and PS (S/I/B) services, the additional
principles of rate increase of PS services are as follows:
3.1.3.2
Determine the maximum rate threshold of NRT PS (I/B) services by distinguish the
rates of C (CS) services themselves
If the rate of C (CS ) services is less than or equal to CRateThrd, the sum of
rates of concurrent PS services of NRT can not exceed PsRateLmt LowC
If the rate of C (CS ) services exceeds CRateThrd, the sum of rates of

concurrent PS services of NRT can not exceed PsRateLmt HighC
The rate of streaming services is not restricted by the above rate threshold.
DL DCH -> DL DCH (Rate Decrease)

The DCH rate is decreased in order to:
Release some of the bandwidths of the subscriber to other subscribers to improve

the bandwidth utilization ratio when the required bandwidth for data transmission of
the subscriber is decreased.
Lower the bandwidth of the subscriber and transmission power to ensure the QoS
for the subscriber when the downlink transmission power of the subscriber is too
high.
Lower the bandwidth of the subscriber and the system load t o ens ure t he system
stability when the cell load is too high.
Therefore, the downlink DCH rate decrease can be triggered by the following factors:
Rate decrease triggered by downlink traffic
Rate decrease triggered by Node B downlink dedicated transmission power
Rate decrease triggered by cell downlink load
Rate decrease triggered by downlink resource congestion
18
Rate decrease triggered by mobility
Rate decrease triggered by DCH rate limitation in cell
Any of the above factors can trigger the rat e decrease.

1.
Rate decrease triggered by downlink traffic
The DCH to DCH switching for downlink rat e decreas e is based on the traffic
measurement report (E vent 4B) on the user plane.
The E vent 4B is defined as that the value of t raffic measurement is smaller than an
absolute threshold. See 3.1. 4.1Traffic Measurement for its detailed definition.
The DL rate decrease is triggered in the case of the following conditions:
The system receives consecutive DchE4bThd traffic measurement reports (E vent

4B) from the user plane. (Note: if the system receives a traffic measurement report
(E vent 4A) from the user plane when the receiving times are sm aller than the
threshold, the corresponding counter is cleared.)
None-realtime I/B services: [current uplink rate of the UE is greater than or equal to
the rat e threshold Rrach for RACH switching] or [downlink target rate is greater
than or equal to the rate threshold Rfach for FACH switching] (if the system switch
FachSwch for CELL_FA CH switching is closed, the above condition is not taken
into consideration); real -time S services: current rate exceeds the GBR of RAB
allocation
In the case of rate increase of DCH, the target rate is calculated by the formula: max
(next rate level smaller than the current rate in DRB C downlink rate levels
DlRateAdjLev[MAX _NUM_RATE_A DJUST], GB R). The GB R of interactive and
background services is 0, and t he GB R of streaming se rvices is the GB R of RAB
allocation.
2.
Rate decrease triggered by Node B downlink dedicated transmission power
The DCH to DCH switching for downlink rate decrease can be triggered by the Node B
downlink dedicated transmission power (E vent A).
The E vent A is defined as that the NodeB downlink dedicated transmission power (DTCP) is greater than an absolute threshold. The E vent B s defined as that the NodeB
downlink dedicated transmission power (D-TCP ) is smaller than an absolute threshold.
See 3.1.4.3NodeB Dedicated TCP Measurement for detailed definitions.
The DCH rate decrease is triggered in the case of the following conditions:
The DCH rate adjustment triggered by D-TCP switch DlPwrDasf is open.
19
The system receives consecutive DtcpE aThd measurement reports (E vent A) of

Node B D-TCP, that is, the UE is in A state. (Note: if the system receives a traffic
measurement report (E vent B) by Node B when the recei ving times are smaller
than the threshold, the corresponding counter is cleared.)
Non-realtime I/B services: current rate is greater than minimum rate in DCH (lowest
rate level configured by DlRateAdjLev[ MA X_NUM_RA TE _ADJUS T] ); real -time S
services: current rat e is greater than the GBR of RAB allocation
background services is 0, and the GBR of streaming service is the GBR in RAB
allocation.
3.
Rate decrease triggered by cell downlink load
The DCH to DCH switching for DCH downlink rate decrease can be triggered by the
downlink load control of the cell.
The current cell load exceeds the overload threshold; (the downlink load is
determined by TCP. For details of overload threshold, see ZTE UMTS Overload
Cont rol Feature Guide)

background services is 0, and the GBR of streaming services is the GBR in RAB
allocation.
For more details of load control, see ZTE UMTS Overload Control Feat ure Guide.
1.
Rate decrease triggered by downlink resource congestion
The DCH to DCH switching for DCH downlink rate decrease can be triggered by the
downlink res ourc e congestion of the cell.
The downlink CE resources, code reso urces or power are congested.

1.
The UE performs hard handover from one R99 cell to another due to mobility, if the
subscriber downlink admission at the current rate fails in the target cell, the system uses
the minimum DRB C rate to admit the user again. The minimum rate is min (max (lowest
level of DRBC downlink rate levels DlRateAdjLev[ MAX_NUM_RATE _ADJUS T], DL
GBR), DL MaxBR).
For more details of mobility, see ZTE UMTS handover Control Feature Guide.

Take the 6000ms as period, checking periodically whether there exist NRT or RT
services which exceed DCH rat e limitation NrtMaxDlRateDch or Rt MaxDlRat eDch. If so,
choose 5 users to decrease rate, and the NRT traffic target rate is Nrt MaxDlRateDch
and NRT traffic target rate is Rt MaxDlRat eDch
3.1.3.3
UL DCH -> UL DCH (Rate Increase)

1.
Rate increase triggered by uplink traffic.
The DCH to DCH switching for uplink rate increas e is based on the traffic measurement
report (E vent 4A) by the UE and determined by the cell's dedicated transmission power
and cell load.
The 4A event is defined as the traffic measurement larger than an absolute threshold.
See 3.1.4.1Traffic Measurement for its detailed definition.
The uplink DCH rate increase is triggered in the case of the following conditions:

4A) from the UE. (Note: if the system receives a traffic measurement report (E vent
21
4B) from the UE when the receiving times are smaller than the threshold, the
corresponding counter is cleared)
If the system receives the measurement reports (E vent 6B2) triggered by UE

transmission power, that is, UE uplink transmission power is in 6B state (Note: for
details, see 3.1.4.2UE internal TxP Meas urement )
The uplink load of t he cell is not overloaded (Note: the uplink load is determined by
RTWP. For details, see ZTE UMTS Overload Control Feature Guide)
For non-macro diversity, in the case of DCH rate increase:

the target rate of NRT DCH is min (next rate level greater than the current rate in the
DRB C uplink rate levels UlRateA djLev[ MAX_NUM_RATE _ADJ UST], Nrt MaxUlRateDch,
UL MaxBR). The MaxBR is the maximum bit rate during RAB allocation.
the target rate of RT DCH is min (next rate level greater than the current rate in the
DRB C
downlink
rate
levels
UlRat eAdjLev[ MAX_NUM_RATE_A DJUST],
RtMaxDlRateDch, UL MaxB R).
For macro diversity, in the case of DCH rate increase:
the target rate of Nrt Uplink DCH rate is min (next rate level greater than the current
rate in DRB C uplink rate levels UlRat eAdjLev[ MAX_NUM_RATE_A DJUST], UL MaxB R,
the minimum

In case of the concurrence of C (CS) services and PS (S/I/B) services, the additional
principles of PS service rate inc rease are as follows:
Determine the maximum rate threshold of NRT PS (I/B) services by distinguish the
rates of C (CS) services themselves.
If the rate of C (CS ) services is less than or equal to CRateThrd, the sum of
rates of concurrent PS services of NRT can not exceed PsRateLmt LowC
22
3.1.3.4
If the rate of C (CS ) services exceeds CRateThrd, the sum of rates of

concurrent PS services of NRT can not exceed PsRateLmt HighC
The rate of streaming services is not restricted by the above rate threshold.
UL DCH -> UL DCH (Rate Decrease)

The DCH rate is decreased in order to:
Release some of the bandwidths of the subscriber to other subscribers to improve

the bandwidth utilization ratio when the required bandwidth for data transmission of
the subscriber is decreased.
Lower the bandwidth of the subscriber and transmission power to ensure the QoS
for the subscriber when the uplink transmission power of the subscriber is too high.
Lower the bandwidth of the subscriber and the system load t o ens ure t he system
stability when the cell load is too high.
Therefore, the uplink DCH rate decrease can be triggered by various factors, such as:
Rate decrease triggered by uplink traffic
Rate decrease triggered by UE uplink dedicated transmission power
Rate decrease triggered by cell uplink load
Rate decrease triggered by uplink resource congestion.
Any of the above factors can trigger the rat e decrease.

1.
Rate decrease triggered by uplink traffic
The DCH to DCH switching for uplink rat e decrease is based on the t raffic measurement
report (E vent 4B ) from the user plane.
The E vent 4B is defined as that the value of t raffic measurement is smaller than an
absolute threshold. See 3.1. 4.1Traffic Measurement for its detailed definition.
If the system receives consecutive DchE 4bThd traffic measurement reports (E vent
4B) of the UE. (Note: if the system receives a t raffic measurement report (E vent 4A )
23
by the UE when the receiving times are smaller than the threshold, the
corresponding counter is cleared)
None-realtime I/B services: [current uplink rate of the UE is greater than or equal to
the rat e threshold Rrach for RACH switching] or [downlink target rate is greater
than or equal to the rate threshold Rfach for FACH switching] (if the system switch
FachS wch for CELL_FA CH switching is closed, the above condition is not taken
into consideration); real -time S services: current rate exceeds the GBR of RAB
allocation
The target rate of DCH rate decrease is max (next rate level smaller than the current
rate in DRB C uplink rate levels UlRateAdjLev[MAX _NUM_RATE_A DJUST], GBR). The
GBR of interactive and background servic es is 0, and the GBR of streaming services is
the GBR in RAB allocation.
2.
Rate decrease triggered by UE uplink dedicated transmission power
The DCH to DCH switching for uplink rate decrease can be triggered by the UE uplink
dedicated transmission power (E vent 6A1). When the UE is far away from the base
station and its transmission power reac hes the maximum, the UL DCH rate can be
decreased to lower the UE transmission power to avoid interference with other
subscribers. When the UE comes close to the base station, the traffic can trigger the UL
DCH rat e increase.
The E vent 6A1 is defined as that the UE dedicated transmission power exceeds an
absolute threshold, namely, the UE is in high power status. For specific configurations of
threshold, see 3.1.4.2UE internal TxP Measurement.

3.
Rate decrease triggered by cell uplink load
24
The DCH to DCH switching for DCH uplink rate decrease can be triggered by the uplink
load cont rol of the cell.
The current uplink cell load exceeds the overload threshold; (the uplink load is
determined by RTWP. For details of overload threshold, see ZTE UMTS Overload
Cont rol Feature Guide)
4.
Rate decrease triggered by uplink resource congestion
The DCH to DCH switching for DCH uplink rate decrease can be triggered by the uplink
resource congestion of the cell.
The CE uplink resources or power are congested.
For more details of congestion control, see ZTE UMTS Congestion Control Feat ure
Guide.
1.
When the UE performs hard handover from one R99 cell to another due to mobility, if
the subscriber uplink admission at the current rate fails in a target cell, the system uses
the minimum DRBC rate to admit the subscriber again. The minimum rate is min (max
(lowest level of DRBC uplink rate levels UlRateA djLev[ MAX_NUM_RA TE_ADJ UST], UL
GBR), UL MaxBR).

CELL_DCH <-> CELL_FA CH channel switching triggered by traffic

i
CELL_DCH (DL DCH/ UL DCH ) -> CE LL_FACH (DL FACH/UL RA CH)

When the UE is in the CELL_DCH (DL DCH/ UL DCH) state, the switching from
CELL_DCH (DL DCH/UL DCH) to CELL_FA CH (DL FACH/UL RACH) can be
triggered by the traffic measurement report (E vent 4B ) from the user plane and UE.
The E vent 4B is defined as that the value of traffic measurement is smaller t han an
absolute threshold. For details, see 3.1.4.1Traffic Measurement.
The switching from CE LL_DCH (DL DCH/ UL DCH) to CELL_FACH (DL FA CH/ UL
RACH) is triggered in the case of the following conditions:
The system switch FachS wch for CE LL_FACH switching is open.
The services are interactive or background services.
The system receives consecutive ToFtimesThr traffic measurement reports

(E vent 4B) from the user plane and UE,and switch is triggered by downlink
report.(Note: if the system receives a traffic measurement report (E vent 4A)
from the user plane or UE when the receiving times are smaller than the
threshold, the calculator is clear.)
The downlink target rate of t he UE is smaller t han t he maximum downlink rate

threshold Rfach, and the current uplink rate is smaller than the maximum
uplink rate threshold Rrach (Note: if the rate is at the lowest rate level
configured
by
UlRateAdjLev[ MAX_NUM_RATE _ADJ UST]
and
DlRateAdjLev[MAX _NUM_RATE_A DJUST], the above condition is not taken
into consideration.)
When in macro diversity state, all the best radio link belongs to S-RNC;
otherwise the DL DCH/UL DCH rate is to be decreased.
If the concurrent services exist, it is required that all the services should meet the
condition for switching to CE LL_FACH.
If the condition for CE LL_FACH switching is met, but the CELL_FA CH fails the
admission, and current uplink or downlink rate is greater than the minimum rate that
26
UL DCH or DL DCH can bear, namely, the lowest rate level configured by
UlRateAdjLev[MAX _NUM_RATE_A DJUST]
and
DlRateAdjLev[MAX _NUM_RATE_A DJUST], UL DCH or DL DCH rate decreas e is
selected.

CELL_FACH (DL FA CH/ UL RA CH) -> CE LL_DCH (DL DCH/ UL DCH)
When the UE is in the CELL_FA CH (DL FA CH/ UL RACH) state, the switching from
CELL_FACH (DL FACH/UL RA CH) to CELL_DCH (DL DCH/UL DCH) can be
triggered by the traffic measurement report (E vent 4A ) from the user plane or UE.
The switching from CE LL_FACH (DL FA CH/ UL RA CH) to CE LL_DCH is triggered
in the case of the following conditions:

When the UE uses the CELL_DCH(DL DCH/ UL DCH) for service bearer, the switching
from CELL_DCH (DL DCH/UL DCH) to URA_P CH can be triggered by the traffic
measurement report (E vent 4B0) from the user plane and UE.
The E vent 4B0 is defined as that the value of traffic measurement value is 0. See
3.1.4.1Traffic Measurement for its detailed definition.

measurement value of 0 from the user plane and UE (Note: if the system receives a
report with measurement value of non -zero value when the receiving times are
smaller than the threshold, the corresponding counter is cleared)
When in macro diversity status, all the best radio links belong to S-RNC.
If t he concurrent services exist, it is required that all the services should meet the
condition for switching to URA_P CH.
If the concurrence of CS and PS servic es or multiple PS services occurs, and both the
uplink and downlink traffic measurement values of a PS I/B service are 0, and t hen the
system receives consecutive DToPchThd traffic measurement reports of E vent 4B0 from

Bit rate Adaptation in one step

Bit rate adaptation in one step is based on the situation when UL DCH and DL DCH of a
RB re-configure succession in a short time. A Timer being set to certain that the
previous reconfigure direction could wait until the subsequent direction reconfigure being
triggered. Then UL DCH and DL DCH doing the reconfiguration in one step. This fuction
saves the delay of Uu.
Bit rate Adaptation in one step is apply to channel configuration triggered by traffic.
Other trigger elements will do reconfigure directly. In case of timer time out, doing the
reconfiguration of one direction directly.

Traffic Measurement
The traffic meas urement includes the BO measurements of UTRA N and UE service
buffer capacities, which are respectively meas ured from the user plane and UE.
RLC mode of Traffic measurement report is decided by MeasRptTrMod. If AM mode is
selected, RNC will require UE ret ransmit error or discontinue SDU. If UM mode is
selected, retransmission is not available. The quantity of traffic measurement is
controlled by MeasQuantity; MeasQuantity could be 1:RLC buffer payload, 2:A verage
RLC buffer payload 3:Variance of RLC buffer payload. In traffic measurement control
message, whether report the RLC BO is indicated by RptRlcBufInd, average RLC BO is
indicated by RptRlcAveInd and varianc e of RLC BO is indicated by RptRlcVarI nd..
For services using AM RLC mode to transmit data, the BO value of a RB is the sum of
RLC queue-to-s end, retransmission queue, and data in logical channel. The user plane
uses the average of BO sample values collected in AverageTime to trigger the event.
The UE uses BO sample values collected in 20 ms to trigger the event. Measurement

32
The absolute t hreshold (such as parameter RptThres[MAX _UE _TRV _MEAS_EVENT] )

is configured as follows:
The smaller the threshold value of 4A event is, the quicker the system responses to
the service demand of the UE, and the sooner the bandwidth increase is triggered,
so as to allocate more radio res ources. And vice versa.
The bigger the threshold value of 4B event is, the quicker the system responses to
the service demand of the UE, and the sooner the occupied bandwidt h is
decreased. And vice versa.
The parameters TrigTime[MA X_UE _TRV_MEAS_EVENT]

The smaller the value of TrigTime[MA X_UE_TRV_MEAS_EVENT] for 4A event is,

the quicker the control plane receives the reports and increases the bandwidth
when the traffic measurement meets the threshold for triggering the event 4A.
Therefore, the demand of service rate of UE is reflected in a better w ay. And vice
versa. However, if the parameter is configured with a very low value, the system
will response t o the service demand which fluctuates in a very short moment,
resulting in unnecessary bandwidth inc reas e.
The smaller the value of PendingTime[MA X_UE_TRV_MEAS _EVENT] for 4A

event is, the quicker the control plane receives consecutively the reports and
increases the bandwidth when the traffic measurement meets the threshold for
triggering the event 4A. Therefore, the demand of service rate of UE is reflected in
a better way. And vice versa. However, if the paramet er is configured with a very
low value, reporting event 4A will resulting in considerable bandwidth occupation.
The smaller the value of TrigTime[MA X_UE_TRV_MEAS_EVENT] for 4B event is,

the quicker the control plane receives consecutively the reports and decreases the
bandwidth when the traffic measurement meets the threshold for triggering the
event 4B. Therefore, the demand of service rate of UE is reflected in a better way.
And vice versa. If the parameter is configured with a very low value, the system will
response to the service demand which fluctuat es in a very short moment, resulting
in unnecessary bandwidth decrease.
The smaller the value of PendingTime[MA X_UE_TRV_MEAS_EVE NT] of 4B event

is, the quicker the cont rol plane receives consec utively the reports and decreas es
the bandwidth when the traffic measurement meets the threshold for triggering the
event 4B. Therefore, the demand of service rate of UE is reflected in a better way.
And vice versa. However, if the parameter is configured with a very low value,
reporting event 4B will res ulting in considerable bandwidth occupation. Therefore,
the feeling of subscriber and bandwidth utilization should be taken into
consideration before configuration.
The rate increase process is triggered when the control plane or UE receives the
consecutive reports of event 4A and the 4A_counter >= 4A _threshold; while the rate
33
decrease process is triggered when the control plane or UE rec eives the consecuti ve
reports of event 4B and the 4B_counter > =4B_threshold. Where, 4A_threshold and

UE internal TxP Measurement

The UE internal measurement mainly measures the UE transmission power (TxP) by
event report, with the reporting threshold of the percent of the maximum UE TxP. It
defines the 6A and 6B statuses, whose relationships with corresponding events 6A1,
6B1, 6A2, and 6B2 are as follows:

Two sets of measurement paramet ers are configured:
E vent 6A1, E vent 6B 1: when the UE TxP measurement value is greater than a
certain absolute threshold and this condition lasts for a moment (100 ms), the
E vent 6A 1 is triggered; when the UE TxP measurement value is smaller than a
E vent 6B1 is triggered. The UE is in a high power status (6A status), RNC would
decrease rate periodically with period of 2ms. when the event 6A1 is report ed, and
the uplink rate can be decreased; the UE is not in a high power status (nonadjustment status) when the event 6B1 is report ed, and the decreasing of uplink
rate is stopped. The thres hold defined for E vent 6B1 can be used as the cut-off
threshold for uplink rate decrease.
E vent 6A2, E vent 6B 2: when the UE TxP measurement value is greater than a
E vent 6A 2 is triggered; when the UE TxP measurement value is smaller than a
E vent 6B 2 is triggered. It is used to check whether the UE TxP is in a low level. The
UE is in a low power status (6B status) when the event 6B2 is reported, and the
uplink rat e can be inc reased; the UE is not in a low power status (non-adjustment
status) when the event 6A2 is reported, and the inc reasing of uplink rate is stopped.
The higher the value of event 6A1 is, the harder uplink DCH rate decrease can be
triggered based on power, that is, the UE TxP will be higher with more power
consumption and interference with other subscribers. If the power consumption and
interference with ot her subscribers are not taken into consideration, the event 6A1 can
be configured with a high value; the lower the value of event 6A1 is, the easier the uplink
DCH rate dec rease can be triggered by the power, and then the feeling of the subscriber
is affected. If the value of event 6B1 is very small, the UE rate will be continuously
decreased and the feeling of the subscriber is affected. If the value of event 6B1 is very
high, the high power status may not be removed effectively. Based on the above factors,
the values of events 6A1 and 6B1 are [100%, 85%]. The higher the threshold of event
37
6B2 is, the easier the report ed power can stay in 6B status, so as to retrigger the rate
increase by the traffic. However, a certain margin should be configured between the
thresholds of event 6A1 and event 6B2, otherwise, there may be a situation: after the
rate is dec reased based on event 6A1, the rat e increase is triggered by the traffic
demand; the lower the threshold of event 6B2 is, the harder the reported power can stay
in 6B status, that is, it is harder to trigger the rate decrease by traffic. Thus, the feeling of
the subscriber is affected. Based on the above factors, the values of events 6A2 and
6B2 are [80%, 60%].
If PS services exist, and uplink DRB C DrbcS wch is open with the UE in the CELL_DCH
state, the measurement is triggered. If the condition is not met, the UE TxP
measurement is closed.
3.1.4.3
NodeB Dedicated TCP Measurement

If the NodeB dedicated TCP is related with the UE, single UE uplink TxP (the TxP on
given carrier, given scramble, and given channelization code) is measured by the NodeB.
It acts as a factor for triggering bandwidth decrease as well as a restriction for bandwidth
increase. If the NodeB dedicated TCP measurement which is used to trigger DRBC rate
adjustment is report ed periodically, the period is 1000 ms.
For events based on the D-TCP measurement reports of NodeB, their thresholds are
configured to be the percent of DP CH downlink maximum transmission power which is
related with service type. The D-TCP measurement of NodeB defines the events A and
B.
Two sets of measurement paramet ers are configured:
E vent A: when t he NodeB D-TCP measurement value is greater than a specific

absolute threshold, event A is triggered. E vent A is used to trigger the downlink rate
decrease. When an event A is reported, the downlink transmission power of UE is
considered to be in a high power status.
E vent B: when the NodeB D-TCP measurement value is smaller than a specific
absolute threshold, event B is triggered. The event B is used to check whether the
downlink transmission power is in a low status. When an event B is report ed, the
downlink transmission power of UE is considered to be in a low power status. The
downlink rat e increase can be triggered by traffic.
The higher the value of event A is, the harder the downlink DCH rate decreas e can be
triggered by the power, that is, the power of single UE is higher. If the system power
restriction is not taken into consideration, the event can be c onfigured with a high value;
the lower the value of event A is, the easier the downlink DCH rate decrease can be
triggered by the power, and then the feeling of the subscriber is affected.
The higher the threshold of event B is, the easier the reported power can stay in B status.
However, a certain margin should be configured between the thres holds of event A and
38
event B, otherwise, there may be a situation: after the rate is decreased based on event
6A1, the rat e increase is triggered by the traffic demand; the lower the threshold of event
B is, the harder the reported power can stay in B status, that is, it is harder to trigger the
rate increase by traffic. Thus, the feeling of the subscriber is affected.
Based on the above factors, the values of events A and B are [90%, 80%].
If PS services exist, and downlink DRBC DrbcSwch is open with the UE in the
CELL_DCH state, the measurement is triggered. If the condition is not met, the NodeB
dedicated TCP measurement is closed.

HSDPA Dynamic Channel Adjustment
3.2.1

The signaling channel allocation process upon the RRC connection setup is the same as
the R99 policy.
For the setup of RAB allocation service, the signaling channel is selected by the
following principles:
The low-speed bearer signaling DL DCH/UL DCH is selected if there is DL DCH/ UL

DCH bearer service.
If all the servic es are on the DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH: If both t he cell and UE support
F-DP CH, and Liscence FDpchS uptInd is support, then the signaling is on the DL
HS-DSCH/UL DCH; otherwise, the signaling is mapped to DCH/DCH low rate
signaling.

the service features (RAB parameters). For t he HS-DSCH in the HS UPA cells, the
selectable channel types as follows:
Conversation servic es use DL DCH/UL DCH channels.
Streaming services can use DL HS -DS CH/UL DCH and DL DCH/UL DCH channels.
Interactive and background s ervices can use DL HS-DS CH/ UL DCH, DL DCH/ UL
DCH, and DL FA CH/ UL RA CH channels.

The principles for selecting channels for streaming services are as follows:
If the condition of [channel quality as non-1F event] is met, select the DL HS-DSCH/UL
DCH with priority. If selecting the DL HS -DS CH/UL DCH is failed (for example, downlink
HS-DSCH is failed to admit), select the DL DCH/ UL DCH.
Otherwise, streaming services use DL DCH/ UL DCH.
The E vent 1F is defined as that the measurement value Ec/N o is smaller than an
absolute threshold. See 3.2.4.1Pilot Channel Quality Measurement for the detailed
definition.

The principles for selecting the channel type for int eractive and background
services are as follows:
If dlMaxBR >= Rfach or ulMaxBR >= Rrach, select the CELL_DCH.

Otherwise, select the DL FACH/UL RA CH with priority. If the DL FACH/UL RACH is

i.
CELL_DCH (DL HS -DS CH/ UL DCH) -> CE LL_FACH
When the UE is in the CELL_DCH status, the switching from CELL_DCH (DL HSDSCH/UL DCH) to CE LL_FACH can be triggered by the traffic measurement report
(E vent 4B) from the user plane and UE.
The switching from CE LL_DCH (DL HS -DS CH/UL DCH) to CELL_FA CH is
triggered in the case of the following conditions:
The services are interacti ve or background services.

(E vent 4B) from the user plane, and consecutive ToFtimesThr traffic
measurement reports (E vent 4B ) from the UE,and switch is triggered by
downlink report. (Not e: if the system receives a traffic measurement report
(E vent 4A) from the user plane or UE when the receiving times are smaller
than the threshold, the corresponding counter is clear.)
When the current uplink rate is smaller than the maximum uplink rate
threshold Rrach for RA CH (Note: if the current uplink rate is smaller than or
equal to the rate of minimum rate level for DCH, the RACH rate threshold
judgment is not required)
42
If the condition for CE LL_FACH switching is met, but the CELL_FA CH fails the
admission, and the current uplink rate is great er than the minimum rate that UL
DCH can bear, namely, the lowest rate level configured by UlRateA djLev
[MAX_NUM_RA TE_ADJ UST], UL DCH rate decrease is selected.

When the UE is in the CELL_FA CH status, the switching from CELL_FA CH to

CELL_DCH (DL HS-DS CH/ UL DCH) can be triggered by the traffic measurement
report (E vent 4A ) from the user plane or UE.

The channel quality does not report 1F event.
Both the terminal and system support HS -DS CH.
Note: HS -DS CH cannot switch to DCH based on traffic volume measurement.

Special cases of concurrent services during channel switching:
If all the concurrent services are PS services and one servic e triggers the s witching
from DL DCH to DL HS-DSCH, the DL DCH of all services is switched to DL HSDSCH.
If there is CS service in the conc urrent services and t he UE is capable of the DL

DCH and DL HS -DS CH concurrency (maximum rate on the DP CH is report ed by
the UE), the DL DCH of only PS services is switched to DL HS-DSCH; otherwis e,
the switching is not implemented.
If t he service is on the DCH, the event 4A triggered by the user plane meets the
condition for rate increase in the DL DCH -> DL HS-DSCH switching, but the DL HSDSCH fails the admission or the DL HS -DS CH is not supported, select DL DCH rate
increase, and the uplink remains on the DCH. In the case of DL DCH rate increase, the
other conditions of DL DCH rate increase must be satisfied (see DL DCH -> DL DCH
(rate increas e)).
When the UE is in non-macro diversity, determine the target rat e for DL DCH rate
increase as follows:
Uplink rate increasing see 3.1.2.6,while downlink rate inc reasing see 3.1.2. 4

macro diversity.
2.
Switching from HS-DSCH to DCH triggered by channel quality
When a s ubscriber is using the DL HS-DS CH/ UL DCH, the DL HS -DS CH s witching to
DL DCH can be triggered by channel quality measurement (E vent 1F triggered by pilot
signal). This is because that the subscriber remaining on HS-DSCH will worsen the QoS
and lower the system capacity when the bit rate requirements of streaming services
carried on HS-DSCH are not satisfied and the channel quality deteriorates.
definition.
The switching from DL HS -DS CH to DL DCH is triggered in the case of the following
conditions:
Channel quality measurement switches for the current PS service (IBChQS wc h,

SChQS wch) are open (Note: when PS S and I/B service are concurrent, if any of
IBChQS wc h and SChQS wch is open, these switches are considered open).
The channel quality triggers E vent 1F.
Handling principle of concurrent services in c hannel s witching: if the concurrent services

are PS services, the DL HS -DS CH for all the services are switched to DL DCH.
During the fallback from DL HS-DS CH to DL DCH, the rate is the DRBC initial rate, see
3.1.2.2
3.
HS-DSCH <-> DCH Switching triggered by mobility
During the PS services carried on downlink HS-DSCH, when the UE hands over from an
HSDPA cell to R99 cell for mobility but the t arget cell does not support the HS-DSCH,
the downlink channel will switch from HS-DS CH to DCH. The rate is the DRB C initial
rate, see 3.1.2.2
During the PS servic es carried on DL DCH/UL DCH, the UE may roam from a R99 cell
to HSDPA cell by hard handover for mobility. If the t arget cell and UE support the
HSDPA, the switching from DL DCH to DL HS -DS CH occurs along with the handover.
3.2.3.3
CELL_DCH (DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH) -> URA_PCH

When the UE uses the CELL_DCH (DL HS -DS CH/ UL DCH) for service bearer, the
switching from CELL_DCH (DL HS-DS CH/UL DCH) to URA_P CH can be triggered by
the traffic measurement report (E vent 4B0) from the user plane or UE.
45
The E vent 4B0 is defined as that the value of traffic measurement val ue is 0. See
The switching from CELL_DCH (DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH) to URA_P CH is triggered in the
case of the following conditions:
measurement value of 0 from the user plane and UE (Note: if the system receives a
report with measurement value of non-zero value when the receiving times are
3.2.3.4
CELL_DCH(DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH) -> IDLE

When the UE uses the CELL_DCH (DL HS -DS CH/ UL DCH) for service bearer, the
switching from CELL_DCH (DL HS -DS CH/ UL DCH) t o IDLE is triggered in the case of
the following conditions:

measurement value of 0 from the user plane and UE. (Note: If t he system rec eives
the measurement reports with traffic measurement value of non -zero value when
the rec eiving times are smaller t han the threshold, the c orresponding counter is
cleared.)
When the c hannel is changed to IDLE, the occupied radio resources are released and

Pilot Channel Quality Measurement

The channel quality meas urement is for the switching from HS -DS CH to DCH. The
E vent 1E and E vent 1F are used in the measurement.
46
The channel quality measurement CQ is performed on the P-CP ICH. If the UE supports
HS-DSCH, the measurement is initiated.
1E definition: when the pilot signaling quality is greater than an absolute threshold
(ThreshUsedFreq[MAX _INTRA_MEAS_EVE NT]) and this condition lasts for a moment
(TrigTime[ MAX_INTRA _MEAS_EVENT]), event 1E is triggered.
1F definition: when the pilot signaling quality is worse than an absolute threshold
(ThreshUsedFreq[MAX _INTRA_MEAS_EVE NT]) and this condition lasts for a moment
(TrigTime[ MAX_INTRA _MEAS_EVENT]), event 1F is triggered.

Traffic Measurement
The traffic measurement on HS -DS CH indicat es the BO meas urement of UTRAN
service buffer capacity measured by the user plane.
For services bear on HS-DSCH, data is transmitted using AM RLC mode. The statistical
strategy for a specific BO of RB is: the AM RLC takes the RLC sent, to be sent currently,
retransmission data in the last 20 ms as the BO in the current 20 ms. The UE uses BO
sample values collected to trigger the event.
Measure parameter acquisition method: For a service on the DL HS-DS CH/UL DCH,
see traffic measurement on the R99 for acquisition of traffic parameters on the UL DCH.
Acquisition of traffic parameters on the DL HS-DSCH: when traffic parameters are
acquired, obtain the corresponding configuration number UeTrvMCfgNo from the UE
traffic volume measurement configuration relationship according to the cell identity Cid
and measurement purpos e (downlink HS-DS CH traffic measurement DrbcSHsUp for
streaming service, and downlink HS_DSCH traffic measurement DrbcIBHsUp for
interactive and background services ). Then according to the configuration number,
obtain the corresponding traffic volume meas urement parameters in RNC NE -> RNC
Radio Resource Management -> Modify Advanced Parameter -> UE Traffic Volume
Measurement Configuration:
If the downlink channel for the service is the HS-DS CH, traffic volume
measurement is performed on the user plane and related parameters used in the
traffic volume measurements are parameters corres ponding to the UP Traffic
Volume Measurement Configuration Number for Streaming Class on HS -DS CH
and UP Traffic Volume Measurement Configuration Number for Interactive and
Background Class on HS-DS CH.

HSUPA Dynamic Channel Adjustment
3.3.1

The signaling channel allocation process upon the RRC connection setup is the same as
the R99 policy.
For the setup of RAB alloc ation service, the signaling channel switching complies with
the following principles:
The low-speed bearer signaling DL DCH/UL DCH is selected if there is DL DCH/ UL

DCH bearer service.
If all the services are on the DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH: If both the system and UE
support F-DP CH, and Liscence FdpchS uptInd is support,then the signaling is on
the DL HS -DS CH/ UL DCH; otherwise, the signaling is mapped to DCH/DCH low
rate signaling.
If all the services are on the DL HS -DS CH/ UL E-DCH:
a)If Liscence FourEChAllowed is supported, switch on SrbOnE dchS wch,
If UE and cell both supported F-DP CH, and License FDpchSuptInd is set to be
supportedsignaling bear on HS-DSCH/E-DCH.
Otherwise signaling bear on DCH/E-DCH

CS 64k service
The principles for CS 64k service is the same as R99, please check 3.1. 2.2 Initial
Service Channel Allocation.
2.
The principles for selecting channels for streaming services are as follows:
If the condition of [channel quality as non event 1F] is met, select the DL HS-DSCH/UL
E-DCH wit h priority. If selecting the DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH is failed (for example,
uplink E-DCH is failed t o admit), select the DL HS -DS CH/ UL DCH. If selecting the DL
HS-DSCH/UL DCH is failed (for example, downlink HS-DSCH is failed to admit), select
the DL DCH/UL DCH.
Otherwise, streaming services use the DL DCH/ UL DCH.
3.
The principles for selecting the channel type for int eractive and background
services are as follows:
If dlMaxBR >= Rfach or ulMaxBR >= Rrach, select the CELL_DCH.

Otherwise, select the DL FACH/UL RA CH with priority. If the DL FACH/UL RACH is
failed to admit, select the CELL_DCH.
When the CE LL_DCH is selected:
If the condition of [channel quality as non event 1F] is met, select the DL HS-DSCH/UL
E-DCH. If selecting the DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH is failed (for example, uplink E-DCH is
failed to admit), select the DL HS -DS CH/UL DCH. If selecting the DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH
is failed (for example, downlink HS-DS CH is failed to admit), select the DL DCH/UL DCH.
50
Otherwise, interactive and background services select the DL DCH/ UL DCH.

(S/I/B) service on the UL DCH is the same as that for R99. The real time rate of the DL
HS-DSCH and UL E-DCH are controlled by the NodeB in real time, out of the control of
the RNC.
Configure principal of E-DCH max bit rate, which is the max bit rate for schedule and

If E-DCH traffic is Non-Realtime, The max bit rate configured in Node B is

If the access cell is the neighbor cell of cell under the S ervingRNC:NrtMaxRateEDch_new = NrtMaxRateEDchD

Configuration explainations: Nrt MaxRateE Dch is the rate restriction of NRT Traffic on
E-DCH, RtMaxRateEDch is the rate restriction of RT Traffic on E-DCH .
Nrt MaxRateE DchD is cells in S RNC configure in DBS for cells in DRNC, which is also
the NRT Traffic rate restrictions. RtMaxRateE DchD is cells in SRNC configure in DBS
for cells in DRNC, which is also the RT Traffic rate restrictions. MaxRat eEdch is
calculated by former platform,for E-DCH max rate configuration.
The principal of acquiring the restriction rat e of E-DCH concurrent service:
51
>> Concurrent servic e are RT and NRT:the max bit rate of the concurrent servic e is the
bigger of RT and NRT restriction rates. That is because E-DCH not process distinguish
RAB. it is calculated min SF and max SF.then calculate the rate restriction.
>> Concurrent of more than one GB R service: Comparing the biggest GBR with
restriction rat e RtMaxRateEDc h.
>> When adding RL to cells which belong to DRNC, if current rate is bigger than rate
restriction of new cell, access denial.
>> If
Uplink traffic GBR exceed Rt MaxRateE Dch,Access denial.
For the UE selecting the DL DCH/ UL DCH, the way to determine the initial rate for PS
(S/I/B) service on the DL DCH and UL DCH is the same as that for R99.
Note: The UL E-DCH and DL HS -DS CH need be bound for use in service channel
allocation, that is, there is no combination of DL DCH/UL E-DCH.
Configuration Principle of E-TTI:

Channel Switching
During the session, the dynamic channel s witching in the HS UPA system is to adjust the
service bandwidth and hand over channels in real time mainly according to the
54
measurements of traffic and channel quality. The figure below shows the channel
switching that the system currently supports according to HS UPA protocols.

The channel quality does not report 1F event.
Both the UE and system support HS -DS CH and E -DCH.
If HsupaCmAssoMode is configured as Serial, the compressed mode is not started; if

HsupaCmAssoMode is configured as Parallel , this requirement can be ignored.
(Not e: The parameter HsupaCmAssoMode indicates the HSUPA associate compressed
mode method, for more details see ZTE UMTS handover Control Feature Guide.)
Note: DL HS -DS CH/UL E -DCH cannot switch to DL DCH/ UL DCH based on traffic
volume measurement.
The concurrent services during channel switching are processed by the following
principl es:
If all the c oncurrent services are PS services and one service triggers the switching from
DL DCH/UL DCH to DL HS -DS CH/ UL E -DCH, the DL DCH/ UL DCH of all servic es
is switched to DL HS -DS CH/ UL E-DCH.
If there is conversation servic e in the concurrent services and the UE is capable of

the DL DCH/ UL DCH and DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH concurrency, the DL DCH/ UL
DCH of only PS services is switched to DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH; otherwis e, the
switching is not implemented.
Note:
When the downlink DP CH and HS -PDS CH coexist, the maximum rate on the DPCH is
reported by the UE. When the uplink DPCH and E-DP DCH coexist, the maximum rate
on the DP CH is 64 kbit/s.
If t he service is on the DL DCH/UL DCH, the UE triggers event 4A and meets conditions
for DL DCH/UL DCH -> DL HS -DS CH/UL E -DCH switching, but the DL HS -DS CH or UL
E-DCH fails to admit or the DL HS-DS CH or UL E-DCH is not supported, select UL DCH
rate increase. In the case of UL DCH rate increase, the other conditions of R99 UL DCH
rate increase must be satisfied (see UL DCH -> UL DCH) rate inc reas e)).
When the UE is in non-macro diversity, determine the target rat e for UL DC H rate
increase as follows:
57
see 3.1.3.3
When the UE is in macro diversity, determine the target rat e for UL DCH rate inc rease
as follows:
see 3.1.3.3
The MaxRateMD is the maximum rate threshold allowed for DCH rate inc rease when the
UE is in macro diversity.
If the service is on the DL DCH/UL DCH, the user plane triggers downlink event 4A and
meets conditions for DL DCH -> DL HS -DS CH switching, but the DL HS-DSCH fails to
admit or the DL HS-DS CH is not supported, select DL DCH rate inc reas e, and the uplink
is still on the DCH. In the case of DL DCH rate increase, the other conditions of DL DCH
rate increase must be satisfied. The way to determine the target rate for DL rate
increase is the same as that for HSDPA rate increase.
If the service is on the DL DCH/UL DCH, the UE triggers downlink event 4A and meets
conditions for DCH -> DL HS -DS CH switching, the DL HS-DSCH admits successfully,
but the UL E-DCH fails to admit or the E-DCH is not support ed, the downlink will be
switched to the HS -DS CH and the uplink is still on the DCH.
2.
Switching from DL HS -DS CH/ UL E-DCH -> DL DCH/UL DCH triggered by channel
quality
When a subscriber is using the DL HS-DS CH/ UL E-DCH, the DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH
switching to DL DCH/ UL DCH can be triggered by channel quality measurement (E vent
1F triggered by pilot signal). This is because that the subscriber remaining on HS -DS CH
will wors en the QoS and lower the system capacity when the bit rate requirements of
streaming services carried on HS -DS CH are not satisfied and the channel quality
deteriorates.
definition.
The switching from DL HS-DS CH/ UL E-DCH to DL DCH/UL DCH is triggered in the case
Channel quality measurement switches for the current PS service (IBChQS wc h,

SChQS wch) are open (Note: when PS S and I/B service are concurrent, if any of
IBChQS wc h and SChQS wch is open, these switches are considered open).
The channel quality triggers E vent 1F.
Handling principle of concurrent services in channel s witching: switch all services on the
DL HS -DS CH/UL E-DCH to the DL DCH/UL DCH.

traffic
When using the DL HS-DS CH/UL DCH, the UE can be switched from the DL HSDSCH/UL DCH to the DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH based on traffic volume measurement
reports (E vent 4A) from the UE so as to improve the peak rate of the UE.
The switching from DL HS-DS CH/ UL E-DCH to DL DCH/UL DCH is triggered in the case

4A) on the DCH from the UE. (Note: if the system receives a traffic measurement
report (E vent 4B) from the DCH when the receiving times are smaller than the
threshold, the corresponding counter is cleared)
Both the system and the UE support the HSUPA
If HsupaCmAssoMode is configured as Serial, the compressed mode is not started; if

HsupaCmAssoMode is configured as Parallel , this requirement can be ignored.
(Not e: The parameter HsupaCmAssoMode indicates the HSUPA associate compressed

If the service is on the DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH, the UE triggers event 4A and meets
conditions for DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH -> DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH switching, but the UL
E-DCH fails to admit or the UL E-DCH is not supported, select UL DCH rate increase. In
the case of UL DCH rate increase, the other conditions of R99 UL DCH rate increase
must be satisfied (see UL DCH -> UL DCH (rat e increase)).
59
The way to determine the target rat e for UL DCH rate increase is the same as that in DL
DCH/UL DCH -> DL HS -DS CH/ UL E-DCH switching.

During the PS services carried on DL HS-DSCH/UL DCH, when the HSUPA UE hands
over from an HSDPA cell to HSUPA cell for mobility and the target cell supports HS DSCH and E-DCH, the service channel will switch from UL DCH to UL E-DCH; the
downlink remains on the HS -DS CH.

CELL_DCH (DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH) -> URA_PCH

When the UE uses the CELL_DCH (DL HS -DS CH/UL E-DCH) for servic e bearer, the
switching from CE LL_DCH (DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH) to URA_P CH can be triggered by
the traffic measurement report (E vent 4B0) by the user plane.
The E vent 4B0 is defined as that the value of traffic measurement value is 0. See
The switching from CE LL_DCH (DL HS-DSCH/UL E-DCH) to URA_P CH is triggered in
the case of the following conditions:
measurement value of 0 on the HS-DSCH and E -DCH from the user plane (Note: if
the system receives a report with measurement value of non -zero value when the
receiving times are smaller than the threshold, the corresponding counter is cleared)

Related Measurement
3.3.4.1
Traffic Measurement
Traffic measurement on the E-DCH is to measure the uplink throughput of the E-DCH on
the FP layer through the user plane.
For a service on the E-DCH, calculate its data volume within 100 ms and convert it to a
rate. Slide the window for 20 ms, and then calculate its data volume for 100 ms and
convert it to a rate once again.
Measure parameter acquisition met hod: For a service on the DL HS -DSCH/UL E-DCH,
see traffic measurement on the HSDPA for acquisition of traffic parameters on the DL
HS-DSCH. Acquisition of traffic parameters on the UL E-DCH: when t raffic parameters
are acquired, get the corres ponding configuration number UeTrvMCf gNo from the UE
traffic volume measurement configuration relationship according to the cell identity Cid
and measurement purpose (E-DCH uplink traffic measurement DrbcEDchUpThpt). Then
according to the configuration number, get the corres ponding traffic volume
measurement in RNC NE -> RNC Radio Resource Management -> Modify Advanced
Parameter -> UE Traffic Volume Measurement Configuration:

If the uplink channel for the service is the E-DCH, traffic volume measurement is
made on the user plane and related parameters used in the traffic volume
measurements are parameters corresponding to the UP Throughput E vent

Traffic Sub-class rate matching

CN send necessary Qos information to RNC by RAB assignment message. In Qos
information, it defined max bit rate etc. traffic relat ed rat e information. Under the user
rate control of RNC, besides the rate demand of CN, it is also controlled by UE capability
limitation and real traffic situation. The whole process is rate matching.
Rate matching includes two procedures:
A: scissor Iu assignment rate:
A1: For HSPA: MaxBR1= min(max rate of Iu interface (If there is MBR negotiation, it is
the max rate after negotiation), max rate according to UE capability );
A2:For DCH: MaxBR1= max {max rate of Iu int erface (If there is MBR negotiation, it is
the max rate after negotiation), 384kbps}
B:Fuzzy match from MaxBR1 to nearest sub-class in sub-class list (Match to the nearest
greater or equal rate of sub-class), according to the matched sub -class number, it is
possible to achieve the parameters configuration for this traffic. Among them, the
parameter MaxBitRate is MaxBR2.
65
C:RNC controlled the max bit rate of this traffic is min(rate after rate matching, which is
MaxBR2, max rate of Iu interfac e (If there is MBR negotiation, it is the max rate after

Be compatible with the IPHONE which is not implement according to

encryption protocol
When some version of IPHONE setup up Conversation, if they bear RRC on
CELL_FACH, and on the process of switching to CELL_DCH on RAB , their implements
are not according to enc ryption prot ocol, in that case, they will suffer bubble noise
caused by losing alignment of CFN. In order to be compatible with this kind of IPHONE,
ZTE set a switch CsRrcOnFachInd to control RRC not bear on CE LL_FACH by
guarantee UE not attempt to access CELL_FA CH aft er failed on CELL_DCH on RRC.
After RRC failed to bear on DCH low rate If it is CS traffic whether access to
FACH/ RACH would judge by Cs RrcOnFachInd.(CS traffic is defined by Establish cause,
which is Originating Conversational Call or Terminating Conversational Call). If
CsRrcOnFac hInd is off, RRC of non emergency CS would not bear on FA CH/ RACH.
Emergency CS call would not restrict by this switch.
