Access Class Control Feature Parameter Description 3 Overview

3 Overview

Access class (AC) control is used to manage UE access to a network, as defined by 3GPP
specifications.
1. With AC control, the eNodeB broadcasts AC control parameters using system
information block type 2 (SIB2) to all UEs in a cell.
For details, see 4 eNodeB AC Control.
2. UEs check whether access to the cell is allowed based on the access control information
on the SIM card, the RRC connection setup type, or the service type when initiating an
RRC connection setup.
For details, see 5 UE AC Control.
In accordance with section 5.3.3 "RRC connection establishment" in 3GPP TS 36.331
V11.2.0, barring evaluation and barring control are performed by UEs originating services,
rather than UEs handed over from other cells or UEs terminating services, after the UEs
receive AC control parameters from the eNodeB.

4 eNodeB AC Control

4.1 Related Concepts

Access Barring Information Type
Based on the UE access cause and service type, SIB2 contains one of the following access
classes in the ac-BarringInfo IE:
l Emergency call
l MO data
l MO signaling
l Multimedia telephony voice
l Multimedia telephony video
l CS fallback (CSFB)
l AC bar skipping for multimedia telephony voice
l AC bar skipping for multimedia telephony video
l AC bar skipping for SMS
The CellAcBar.AcBarringInfoCfgInd parameter specifies whether access barring
information is broadcast.
When selecting a cell to camp on, a UE does not consider access barring information, which
means that a UE of a specific AC can camp on a cell even if this AC is barred. In addition, the
UE does not perform cell reselection when the access barring information changes.

AC Control Methods
Table 4-1 describes AC control methods and applicable types of access barring information.

l CellAcBar.AcBarringF initiates an access request. If
actorForSig the value of rand is less than
the value of the ac-
l CellAcBar.AcBarFacto BarringFactor IE, the UE
rForMVoice proceeds with the access
l CellAcBar.AcBarFacto procedure. If the value of rand
rForMVideo is greater than or equal to the
l CellAcBar.AcBarFacto value of the ac-BarringFactor

Access Class Control Feature Parameter Description 4 eNodeB AC Control

AC barring configuration indicators for different access classes are controlled by the
CellAcBar.AcBarringForEmergency, CellAcBar.AcBarringForMoDataCfgInd, and
CellAcBar.AcBarringForMoSigCfgInd parameters. When the eNodeB delivers control
parameters for different access classes, information such as the access probability factors and
average access barring duration needs to be specified. For example, the access probability
factor and average access barring duration for MO data are controlled by the
CellAcBar.AcBarringFactorForCall and CellAcBar.AcBarTimeForCall parameters,
respectively. The access probability factor and average access barring duration for MO
signaling are controlled by the CellAcBar.AcBarringFactorForSig and
CellAcBar.AcBarTimeForSig parameters, respectively. For more parameters, see AC
Control Parameters.

For details about the list of barred ACs and how a UE determines its AC, see chapter 4
"Access control" in 3GPP TS 22.011 V10.0.0 and section 3.4 "Access control" in 3GPP TS
23.122 V10.0.0.

4.2.2 Network Analysis

4.3.1.1.2 Triggering of Intelligent Access Class Control

The eNodeB periodically checks whether a cell is congested. The period is specified by the
CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.DynAcBarStatPeriod parameter. If the number of periods during
which the cell is congested reaches the value of the
CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.MoTriggerCondSatiPeriods parameter, intelligent access class
control is triggered, and EVT-29252 Cell Intelligent Access Class Control Event is reported.
Table 4-13 describes how the eNodeB determines whether a cell is congested. The eNodeB
uses different methods to determine whether a cell is congested or recovers from congestion
based on the EnodebFlowCtrlPara.DynAcBarPolicyMode parameter.

CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.UeNumCongThld parameter from 150 to 200.
l If the cell is not congested, modify the value of the
CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.UeNumCongThld parameter.
For details about flow control, see Flow Control.
For macro eNodeBs, flow control is triggered by a large amount of RRC signaling or RACH
signaling. For micro eNodeBs, flow control is triggered only by a large amount of RACH
signaling.

eRAN
Access Class Control Feature Parameter Description 4 eNodeB AC Control

Flow control is performed at board level. If the number of access signaling (RRC access or
RACH signaling) messages is imbalanced between cells established on the same BBP, you are
advised to set the EnodebFlowCtrlPara.DynAcBarringTrigAllCellSw parameter to OFF to
avoid impacts of flow control in heavy-load cells on light-load cells.
If the EnodebFlowCtrlPara.DynAcBarPolicyMode parameter is modified during the
measurement period specified by the CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.DynAcBarStatPeriod
parameter, the eNodeB determines whether the cell is congested based on the cell states
determined using both policies.
For example, during a 20s measurement period, the flow control policy is used in the first 10s,
and the CPU usage policy is used in the second 10s. 20 cell states are obtained in the
measurement period, with the first 10 states obtained when the flow control policy is used and
the second 10 states obtained when the CPU usage policy is used. Based on these 20 cell
states, the eNodeB calculates the proportion of time during which the cell is in the congestion
state to determine whether the cell is congested during the measurement period.

4.3.1.1.3 Entry to Intelligent Access Class Control

The eNodeB delivers settings of AC control parameters in SIB2 after intelligent access class
control is triggered to dynamically adjust the access probability factor for MO signaling or
MO data (specified by the CellAcBar.AcBarringFactorForSig or
CellAcBar.AcBarringFactorForCall parameter), as shown in Figure 4-3.

Figure 4-3 Access probability factor adjustment

l If intelligent access class control is not triggered in the cell in the previous period:
The eNodeB configures the initial value of the access probability factor for MO
signaling or MO data based on the CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.MoFactorInitialValue
parameter.
l If intelligent access class control is triggered in the cell in the previous period and the
cell has not exited from intelligent access class control:
– When the cell is still congested and conditions for exit from intelligent access class
control are not met:
The eNodeB adjusts the step based on the
CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.MoFactorAdjStep parameter to gradually reduce the
access probability factor of the cell and increase the proportion of barred UEs.
The minimum access probability factor is P05(5%) to ensure that some UEs can
access the cell. If cell congestion is not immediately relieved even with an access
probability factor of P05(5%), P05(5%) is retained until cell congestion is relieved.
– When the cell is not congested but the number of consecutive periods during which
the cell is congested has not reached the
CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.MoCancelCondSatiPeriods parameter:

Issue 01 (2019-06-06) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 21

eRAN
Access Class Control Feature Parameter Description 4 eNodeB AC Control

The eNodeB adjusts the step based on the

CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.MoFactorRetreatStep parameter to gradually roll back
the access probability factor for MO signaling or MO data.

During adjustment, AC barring durations (specified by the CellAcBar.AcBarTimeForCall

and CellAcBar.AcBarTimeForSig parameters) are the same as those configured for static AC
control.

4.3.1.1.4 Exit from Intelligent Access Class Control

Intelligent access class control is canceled in any of the following scenarios.

l If both of the following conditions are met, the eNodeB sends SIB2 without AC control
configurations for MO signaling or MO data to cancel AC control for MO signaling or
MO data, and reports EVT-29252 Cell Intelligent Access Class Control Event.
– The cell recovers from congestion.
– The number of consecutive periods in which the cell is congested reaches the value
of the CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.MoCancelCondSatiPeriods parameter.
l ac-BarringFactor only can be set to P00(0%) if any of the bits of ac-
BarringForSpecialAC for MO signaling and MO data are set to 1. In this case,
EVT-29252 Cell Intelligent Access Class Control Event is reported, and the eNodeB
exits from intelligent access class control.

4.3.1.2 Network Analysis

4.3.1.2.1 Benefits
This function is recommended only when a large number of UEs simultaneously access the
network, as in the case for special events such as holidays, concerts, and sporting events or for
disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. This is because this function has an impact on
access experience. If UE access is barred, the perceived access delay increases.

If this function is enabled in a congested cell, new UEs may not be able to access the network.
However, if this impact is acceptable, this function can be enabled permanently to relieve cell
congestion, even unpredictable congestion.

This function:

l Controls UE access for MO data or signaling to prevent a sharp increase in signaling

load.
l Performs dynamic AC control based on the cell congestion state without manual
intervention.

4.3.1.2.2 Impacts

Network Impacts
This function has the following network impacts:
l When the EnodebFlowCtrlPara.DynAcBarPolicyMode parameter is set to CPULOAD
and the EnodebFlowCtrlPara.CpuLoadThd parameter is less than 80%, the access of a
large number of UEs is barred although the CPU resource is sufficient. In this case, user
experience is affected, and the specified BHCA of the eNodeB may fail to be reached.

Issue 01 (2019-06-06) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 22

eRAN
Access Class Control Feature Parameter Description 4 eNodeB AC Control

l If the RRC connection setup success rate decreases because of flow control on the main
control board or BBPs, or failures in allocating resources due to the number of UEs
exceeding the specifications, intelligent access class control prevents some UEs from
accessing the cell. This function relieves cell congestion, increasing the RRC connection
setup success rate. The degree of the increase depends on the cell congestion level, AC
control parameter settings, and the proportion of UEs that support AC control in the
network. If UEs are barred, their access experience will be affected.

4.3.2.1.2 Triggering of Dynamic Service-specific Access Control

The eNodeB periodically checks whether a cell is congested and in the disaster state. The
period is specified by the CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.DynAcBarStatPeriod parameter. When
the number of consecutive periods during which a cell is congested and in the disaster state
reaches the CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.SsacTriggerCondSatiPeriods parameter, the eNodeB
triggers dynamic SSAC for the cell.
l Cell disaster state checking
– The cell enters a disaster state when it receives an ETWS primary notification (PN)
or CMAS message configured by the
CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.DisasterReferenceInd parameter for the cell.
– The disaster state duration is specified by the
CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.DisasterDuration parameter. The cell exits the disaster
state when this duration ends.
The timer specified by the CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.DisasterDuration parameter is
independent of the CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.DisasterReferenceInd parameter. The
timer starts when the cell receives a disaster notification message.
l Cell congestion checking
For details about how the eNodeB determines whether a cell is congested or recovers
from congestion, see 4.3.1.1.2 Triggering of Intelligent Access Class Control.

4.3.2.1.3 Entry to Dynamic Service-specific Access Control

The eNodeB sends settings of AC control parameters in SIB2 after dynamic SSAC is
triggered to dynamically adjust the access probability factor for multimedia telephony voice
or multimedia telephony video (specified by the CellAcBar.AcBarFactorForMVoice or
CellAcBar.AcBarFactorForMVideo parameter). For details about the adjustment
mechanism, see Figure 4-3.
l If dynamic SSAC is not triggered in the cell in the previous period:
The eNodeB sets the access probability factor for multimedia telephony voice or
multimedia telephony video to P95(95%).
l If dynamic SSAC is triggered in the cell in the previous period and the cell does not exit
from dynamic SSAC:
– When the cell is congested and in a disaster state, and conditions for exit from
dynamic SSAC are not met
The eNodeB adjusts the step based on the
CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.SsacFactorAdjStep parameter to gradually reduce the
access probability factor of the cell and increase the proportion of barred UEs.

Access Class Control Feature Parameter Description 4 eNodeB AC Control

The minimum access probability factor is P05(5%) to ensure that some UEs can
access the cell. If cell congestion is not immediately relieved even with an access
probability factor of P05(5%), P05(5%) is retained until cell congestion is relieved.
– When the cell is not in the congestion and disaster states at the same time but the
number of consecutive periods during which the cell recovers from congestion or a
disaster does not reach the CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.SsacCancelCondSatiPeriods
parameter
The eNodeB adjusts the step based on the
CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.SsacFactorRetreatStep parameter to gradually roll back
the access probability factor for MO signaling or MO data.
During adjustment, AC barring durations (specified by the CellAcBar.AcBarTimeForMVoice
and CellAcBar.AcBarTimeForMVideo parameters) are the same as the duration configured
for static AC control.

4.3.2.1.4 Exit from Dynamic Service-specific Access Control

When both of the following conditions are met, the eNodeB sends SIB2 that does not contain
multimedia telephony voice or video access control configurations to UEs to cancel AC
control on multimedia telephony voice or multimedia telephony video.
l The cell is not in congestion and disaster states at the same time.
l The number of consecutive periods during which the cell recovers from the congestion
or disaster state reaches the value of the
CellDynAcBarAlgoPara.SsacCancelCondSatiPeriods parameter.

4.3.2.2 Network Analysis

4.3.2.2.1 Benefits
This function is recommended only at special events where a large number of UEs initiate
multimedia voice or video services, for example, at holiday celebration, concerts, sporting
events, earthquakes, or tsunamis. This is because this function has an impact on access
experience. If UE access is barred, the perceived access delay increases.
This function:
l Controls UE access for multimedia voice or video services to prevent network
congestion and ensure that UEs originating data services can promptly access the disaster
bulletin information on the network.
l Performs AC control based on the disaster state and cell congestion state without manual
intervention.

4.3.2.2.2 Impacts

Network Impacts
This function has the following network impacts:
l When the EnodebFlowCtrlPara.DynAcBarPolicyMode parameter is set to CPULOAD
and the EnodebFlowCtrlPara.CpuLoadThd parameter is set to a value less than 80, the
access of a large number of UEs is barred although the CPU resource is sufficient. In this
case, user experience is affected, and the specified BHCA of the eNodeB may fail to be
reached.

Access Class Control Feature Parameter Description 4 eNodeB AC Control

l If the RRC connection setup success rate decreases because of flow control on the main
control board or BBPs, intelligent access class control prevents some UEs from
accessing the cell. This function relieves cell congestion, increasing the RRC connection
setup success rate. The degree of the increase depends on the cell congestion level, AC
control parameter settings, and the proportion of UEs that support AC control in the
network. If UEs are barred, their access experience will be affected.

4.3.2.4.5 Network Monitoring

When this function is triggered:
l Monitor the counters in Table 4-24. If the number of RRC connection request discards or
rejections due to flow control decreases, dynamic SSAC has taken effect.

Table 4-24 Counters related to network monitoring for dynamic SSAC

Counter ID Counter Name

1526728489 L.RRC.ConnReq.Msg.disc.FlowCtrl

1526728490 L.RRC.SetupFail.Rej.FlowCtrl

The decreased number of RRC connection request discards or rejections depends on the
proportion of UEs that support dynamic SSAC, the access probability factor, and the
access barring duration. If a cell is seriously congested because a large number of UEs
simultaneously initiate access for multimedia telephony voice and video and the
proportion of UEs that support dynamic SSAC is high, dynamic SSAC can achieve high
gains.
l Monitor the counters listed in Table 4-25. Observe the number of times dynamic SSAC
parameters are adjusted and the duration of dynamic service-specific access control.

4.4 AC Bar Skipping

4.4.1 Principles
When a large number of UEs attempt to access the network simultaneously and the network is
congested, the eNodeB triggers intelligent access class control and allows voice UEs to
preferentially access the network during the AC control, improving the voice UE experience.
Voice UEs include:
l UEs that initiate multimedia telephony voice services
l UEs that initiate multimedia telephony video services
l UEs that send SMSs
This function is controlled by the AcBarForVoLTEPreferSwitch option of the
CellAlgoSwitch.VoLTESwitch parameter.
Figure 4-5 shows the function process.

5.7 CSFB Access Decision Procedure

UEs use the following rules to make access decisions on CSFB:
l If AC control parameters delivered by the eNodeB contain CSFB-related parameters,
these parameters are used.
If access to an E-UTRAN cell is barred during CSFB, the UE selects a GERAN or
UTRAN cell using a cell reselection procedure to originate a call, preventing user
experience from being affected. For details, see section 5.6.1.6 "Abnormal cases in the
UE" in 3GPP TS 24.301 V10.0.0.
l If AC control parameters delivered by the eNodeB do not contain CSFB-related
parameters, AC control parameters for MO data are used.
