Channel Elements Mapping for R99 Bearers

Bearer Uplink Downlink Remark

AMR12.2k 1 1

CS64k 3 2

PS64k 3 2 (1) The mapping relationship of Channel Elements consumption

for each bearer is based on Uplink 2-way diversity
PS128k 5 4 (2) In the case of uplink 4-way diversity, the CE consumption is
shown below:

CS28.8k 1.5 1 (3) Detailed and recently updated data should be referred to the
newest issued notice of "UMTS RAN Product Specificaiton".
CS32k 1.5 1 (4) It is noted that the CE mapping for each R99 bearer is much
different from the air interface load caused by each connection of
CS56k 3 2
the R99 bearers, for instance:
--- One CS64k connection will cause nearly 6 times of uplink cell
CS57.6k 3 2
load resource of one voice 12.2k.
PS8k 1 1 --- From the base band resource consumption point of view, one
CS64k occupies 3 channel elements while one AMR12.2k needs 1
PS16k 1 1 channel element.

Impacts of other Factors on Channel Elements

Uplink CE Downlink CE
Factors Remark
Consumption Consumption
Soft Handover Yes Yes Need extra CE resources for soft handover
 No (for 3836 series) No (for 3836 series) (1) NG-NodeB 3836 does not need extra CE for softer HO
Softer Handover (2) Ntoed: BBU3806 consumes extra CE for softer HO
Yes (for 3806 series) Yes (for 3806 series)
(1) Extra CEs reserved for CCH, cost free for operators.
(2) The CEs for CCH are separated from R99.
Common Channel No No (3) For one NodeB with 3 cells, 6 CEs are reserved in uplink and
15 CEs reserved in downlink.

TX Diversity No No No need extra CE resource for TX diversity

No need extra CE resource for Compressed Mode because of

Compressed Mode No No reserved CE resources for Compressed Mode

HSDPA Channel Elements Consumption

Traffic Uplink Downlink Remark
(1) Separate dedicated module processing HSDPA Traffic so
HSDPA traffic does not occupy any R99 CE resource.
HSDPA Taffic --- 0 CE (2) HS-DSCH and HS-SCCH does not affect base band capacity for
R99 services.
(1) PS64k is recommended to bear uplink user data, TCP
Uplink Bearer 3 CE --- acknowledgement and signaling.
(2) One PS64k consumes 3 CE in uplink.

A-DCH --- 1 CE One HSDPA user requires 1 CE due to DL signaling control.
