Foreword

The WCDMA system is a self-interfering system, so the capacity, coverage, and QoS are mutually affected

The target of load control is to maximize the system capacity while ensuring coverage and QoS, and provide differentiated services for users

Priority

The QoS of the services or users with low priority will be affected by the load control algorithms first

Three kinds of priorities involved in load control:

User priority RAB integrated priority User integrated priority

User Priority

There are three levels of user priority:

gold (high priority), silver (middle priority) and copper (low priority) users

User priority Uplink Downlink

Why We Need CAC?

WCDMA is an interference limited system, after a new service is admitted, the system load will be increased

If a cell is high loaded, a new service will affect the QoS of ongoing user, even result in call drop

CAC is used to determine whether the system resources are sufficient to accept a new user's access request or not

Page71

Power CAC Algorithm 3

Algorithm 3 is similar to algorithm 1. The difference is that the estimated load increment in algorithm 3 is always set to 0

In accordance with the current cell load (uplink load factor and downlink TCP), the RNC determines whether the cell load will exceed the threshold, with the estimated load increment set to 0. If yes, the RNC rejects the request. If not, the RNC accepts the request

NodeB Credit CAC

CE is used to measure the channel demodulation capability of the NodeBs. On the RNC side, it is referred to the NodeB

credit. On the NodeB side, it is the channel element

The resource of one equivalent 12.2 kbit/s AMR voice service, including 3.4 kbit/s signaling, is defined as one CE

There are two kinds of CE, that is, uplink CE supporting


uplink services and downlink CE supporting downlink services. Therefore, one 12.2 kbit/s AMR voice service

consumes one uplink CE and one downlink CE

The RNC performs inter-frequency DRD. According to the purposes of directed retry, Inter-frequency DRD is of the following types:

Inter-frequency DRD for service steering Inter-frequency DRD for load balancing

If all admission attempts of inter-frequency DRD fail, the RNC performs an inter-RAT DRD

If all admission attempts of inter-RAT DRD fail, the RNC selects a suitable cell to perform preemption and queuing

Inter-Frequency DRD for Load Balancing

Load balancing considers two resources, power and code:

Inter-Frequency DRD

Relation Between DRD for Service Steering and DRD for Load Balancing:

When both DRD for service steering and DRD for load balancing are enabled, the general principles of inter-frequency DRD are as follows:

DRD for service steering takes precedence over DRD for load
balancing, that is, preferably considers service priorities

To services of the same service priority, load balancing applies

Page117

MBR Negotiation

If the IE "Alternative RAB Parameter Values" is present in the RANAP RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST or the RELOCATION REQUEST message when a PS service is set up, reconfigured, or admitted, then the RNC and the CN negotiate the rate according to the UE capability to obtain the MBR while ensuring a proper QoS

Page119

GBR Negotiation

During the setup, reconfiguration, or handover of a real-time PS service, if the RAB assignment message carries multiple alternative GBRs and PS_STREAM_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH is set to 1, the RNC selects the minimum rate as the GBR of this RAB and sends it to the CN. If the IE "Type of Alternative Guaranteed Bit Rate Information" in the message is set to unspecified, the GBR is set to 8 kbit/s

Copyright 2009 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page120

Initial Rate Negotiation

For a non-real-time service in the PS domain, the RNC selects an initial rate to allocate bandwidth for the service before the

admission request based on cell resources in the following cases:

A service is set up The UE state changes from CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH

The negotiation is based on the cell load information, which includes:

Uplink and downlink radio bearer status of the cell Minimum spreading factor (SF) supported HSPA capability

Page127

IAC - Preemption

After CAC fails, the RNC performs preemption firstly Precondition of preemption and queuing:

According to RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message, preemption and queuing are supported

The related algorithm switches are set to ON

Copyright 2009 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page128

Preemption Procedure

Sorts the preemptable users by user integrated priority, or sorts the preemptable RABs by RAB integrated priority

Only the users or RABs with priorities lower than the RAB to be established
are selected

Selects as many users or RABs as necessary in order to match the resource needed by the RAB to be established

When the priorities of two users or RABs are the same, the algorithm selects
the user or RAB that can release the most resources

The RNC releases the resources occupied by the candidate users or RABs

The requested service directly uses the released resources to access


the network without admission decision

IAC - Queuing

After preemption fails, UE can be put into the queue, then admission attempts are made periodically till maximum queuing time

The queuing function is triggered by the heartbeat timer that equals 500 ms. Each time the timer expires, the RNC selects the service that meets the requirement to make an admission attempt

OLC Procedure
Turn on the OLC algorithm switch Mark "current OLC state = uncongested" Start sending the OLC congestion indication Mark "current action = first OLC action" Clear the "selected" mark of all UE OLC actions Congestion state indication Send congestion relief indication to MAC (downlink congestion)

Wait for congestion state indication

Yes

Current OLC state = congested? Performing TF control Yes

No

Successful? No

Keep the action sequence unchanged and take the current action first

Switching BE services to CCH

Successful? No Successful? No Successful? No

Yes Mark "current action = successful action"

Adjusting Max FACH TX power

Yes

Wait for the expiration of the OLC period timer

Releasing some RABs

Yes

No OLC action is taken or all actions fail

Mark "current action = first OLC action"

Parameters of OLC (Cont.)

OlcPeriodTimerLen

Parameter name: OLC period timer length Recommended value: 3000, namely 3000ms

OLC Actions - Performing TF Control of BE Services

OLC algorithm for TF control in the downlink:

Select RABs with the lowest integrated priority

The RNC sends the TF control indication message to the MAC


The MAC restricts the TFC selection: TFmax(N+1) = TFmax(N) x Ratelimitcoeff

OLC algorithm for TF control in the uplink:

Select RABs with the lowest integrated priority the RNC sends a TRANSPORT FORMAT COMBINATION CONTROL message to the UE

The UE restricts the TFC selection

OLC Actions - Adjusting the Maximum FACH TX Power

Target FACH channel:

During an OLC period, the OLC can adjust the power of only one FACH. If multiple FACHs meet the conditions, the OLC adjusts them one by one in different OLC periods

Execution:

The cell adjusts the maximum FACH TX power:
