SOFT CONGESTION
Increase accessibility in case of resource shortage
What?
How?
By admitting users in a cell in case of resource shortage, if a low priority user can lower its rate or be preempted
Guaranteed requests can reduce the rate of any priority, non-guaranteed connection parts in steps down to their lowest retainable rate
If that is not sufficient, RN Soft Congestion can preempt existing guaranteed RABs of lower priority, or nonguaranteed RABs at the lowest retainable rate if request is preemption capable and connection part targeted is preemption vulnerable
RN Soft Congestion will not target users that have already ongoing HO attempts, or that have been triggered (but not finished) to do soft congestion actions by earlier admission requests.

Downlink Channelization
The admission request can be granted if the resource usage plus the additional SF is below the admission level dlCodeAdm. Admission limit (dlCodeAdm) is set to 90% (reserving 10% of the code tree for new handover legs).

UL & DL HW
Definition of CE
CE is a measure of board capacity and radio bearer (RB) capacity cost
Normalization of 1 CE
Downlink (DL): One AMR 12.2 kbps with SF=128 Uplink (UL): One AMR 12.2 kbps with SF=64
Different Services
Hardware Consumption
Hardware consumption is related with the Symbol Rate >> Inversely proportional to Spreading Factor (SF)
due to different modulation scheme: QPSK (Downlink) and BPSK (Uplink) BSPK (1bit per symbol). QPSK (2bits per symbol)
UL & DL HW
The admission request can be granted if the resource usage plus the additional DL/UL Hardware is below the admission level dlHwAdm/ ulHwAdm. Admission limit dlHwAdm=100% (disabled) and ulHwAdm=90%.

By means of this policy it is possible to limit the number of simultaneous DL scheduled users in a cell, preventing that many users have to share the available resources and get too low throughput. hsdpaUsersAdm, maxNumHsdpaUser.

RN Admission Control must reject an EUL user, requesting the cell as serving cell if the total number of serving cell EUL users including the requested is above eulServingCellUsersAdm parameter.
EUL users can be in soft/softer handover. It is also possible to be able to limit the EUL users having the cell as non-serving cell. This is to be able to limit the amount of UL hardware reserved for the non-serving connections.

Non-guaranteed RABs on dedicated, non-shared radio channels are reduced to their lowest retainable rate in the current radio configuration
Guaranteed RABs and non-guaranteed RABs (remaining after step 1 and not on 0 kbps or on common radio channels) on dedicated, non-shared radio channels are released
Practical examples
How to check is there is blocking? How to solve this cases? I it solved now?
Check your RNCs RAB and RRC blocking counters The set of counters available in SMART is not comprehensive, but it is useful to spot some types of blocking such as: DL Ch Codes blocking, DL Tx Power Blocking, UL & DL HS (CEs)
Analyze each case and check if there is room for parameter optimization or coverage reduction
After applying the changes it is necessary to go back to SMART and check if the statistics have improved
CSSR degradation
If the CSSR is degraded and after discarding alarms/unavailability of the site or surrounding sites
In SMART you can easily isolate DL Ch Code, DL Tx Pwr blocking, UL and DL HW, TN (transport network), NB Speech, NB HS, UL and DL ASE, UL and DL SF

Check is the sector does not have exceeded coverage Check the parameters pwrAdm and pwrOffset, increase pwrAdm as much as possible taking into account that pwrAdm + pwrOffset < 99% Check if it is possible to decrease primaryCpichPower

Check is the sector does not have exceeded coverage Check if the site has maximum RAX board cofiguration
