3 Technical Description
3.1 Overview
3.1.1 Admission Resource and Basic Procedure
A radio link sends a resource request to the CAC functional module when additional resources are
required. On receipt of the resource request, the CAC functional module performs the admission
decision based on the following resources:
Available cell code resources
Available cell power resources
NodeB credits, which are used to measure the channel demodulation capability of NodeBs
Available Iub transmission bandwidth
Number of HSDPA users (only for HSDPA services)
Number of HSUPA users (only for HSUPA services)
A call can be admitted only when all of these resources are available.
Code and Iub resource-based admission control are mandatory and cannot be disabled. Other
admission control strategies may be enabled or disabled with the ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH
command.
Figure 3-1 shows the basic procedure for a resource-based admission decision.
HSUPA admission control is described in this document, as is R99 service admission control.
1. The RNC calculates the current downlink load factor according to the downlink TCP and calculates
the downlink load increment based on the service request.
2. The RNC predicts the downlink load factor according to the current downlink load factor and the
downlink load increment. The predicted downlink load factor also includes the reserved common
channel load, which is specified by DlCCHLoadRsrvCoeff.
3. After comparing the downlink load factor with the corresponding threshold (DlConvAMRThd,
DlConvNonAMRThd, DlOtherThd, or DlHOThd), the RNC decides whether to accept the access
request.
The total downlink load also includes all reserved power types, for example, the power for the common channel and the
power for HSUPA downlink control channels.
If the current cell supports DC-HSDPA, the current total power of the DC-HSDPA cell group must also
be less than the sum of the total downlink power threshold of the primary cell and that of the secondary
cell.
PS conversational services carried on HSPA can be treated as streaming services during admission control.
Admission Decision for DC-HSDPA RAB in the Downlink
The admission of DC-HSDPA RABs is based on the power of the DC-HSDPA cell group because the
RAB is set up on both carriers.
The RNC admits DC-HSDPA RABs in the following situations:
− PBR-based decision in DC-HSDPA cell group is successful. PBR-based decision in DC-HSDPA cell
group is similar to that in SC-HSDPA cell. The difference between them is that the users selected
during the decision are DC-HSDPA users in the DC-HSDPA cell group rather than SC-HSDPA users.
− Load-based decision in DC-HSDPA cell group is successful. This means that the total downlink load
factor of DC-HSDPA cell group is less than the sum of the total downlink load threshold of the primary
cell and that of the secondary cell.
Admission Decision for HSUPA Control Channels in the Downlink
The power for downlink control channels (E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-HICH) is determined by
DlHSUPARsvdFactor. Therefore, power-based admission is not required for these channels.
Downlink Power-Based Admission Decision for MBMS
For details, see the MBMS Feature Parameter Description.
The system checks whether the uplink equivalent user load proportion of the cell is less than 40% if
the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch (NBMCacAlgoSwitch:
RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB) is enabled. If it is less than 40%, the RNC accepts the access request.
Otherwise, the RNC performs an admission decision on the uplink ENU resource.
The RNC rejects the access request if the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch is disabled.
In the normal state, when the uplink ENU admission for a new RAB is implemented, the RNC calculates
the uplink ENU of the RAB, and then estimates whether the ratio of the total uplink ENU after the new
RAB access to the maximum ENU (UlTotalEqUserNum) is less than or equal to the cell uplink
admission threshold for a specific type of service. The threshold may be UlNonCtrlThdForAMR,
UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or UlNonCtrlThdForHo. If the condition is met,
the RNC admits the access request.
For DCH users, the RNC can also admit the access request if the ratio of the total uplink ENU of all DCH
users after the new RAB access to the maximum ENU (UlTotalEqUserNum) is less than or equal to
difference between UlCellTotalThd and HsupaMaxGBPThd.
For users in uplink enhanced CELL_FACH state, only the total users in uplink enhanced CELL_FACH
state must be lower than the threshold MaxERACHUserNum.
The CE capabilities at the local cell, local cell group, and NodeB levels are reported to the RNC through the
NBAP_AUDIT_RSP message over the Iub interface.
- The CE capability at the local cell level indicates, in terms of hardware, the maximum capability that can be used in the
local cell.
- The CE capability at the local cell group level indicates the capability when the license and hardware are taken into
consideration.
- The CE capability at the NodeB level indicates the number of CEs that can be used, as specified in the license.
In the current product release, the UL Capacity Credit (CC) and DL CC are separate. So the credit
resource-based admission is implemented in the UL and DL, respectively.
The number of HSDPA users in the cell does not exceed the maximum value specified by
MaxHsdpaUserNum.
The number of HSDPA users in the cell does not exceed the user number of license.
The number of HSDPA users in NodeB does not exceed the maximum value specified by
NodeBHsdpaMaxUserNum.
Otherwise, the HSDPA service is degraded to R99 service and another admission decision to performed.
4 Parameters
Table 4-1 Parameter description
Parameter ID NE MML Command Description
DlCCHLoadRsrvCoe BSC690 ADD UCELLCAC(Optional) Meaning: Different admission policies are
ff 0 MOD UCELLCAC(Optional) used for dedicated channel and common
channel users. For common channel users,
resources instead of separate power
admission decision are reserved. For
dedicated channel users, according to the
current load factor and the characteristics of
the new call, the CAC algorithm predicts the
new TX power with the assumption of
admitting the new call, then plus with the
premeditated common channel DL load
factor to get the predicted DL load factor.
Then, compare it with the DL admission
threshold. If the value is not higher than the
threshold, the call is admitted; otherwise,
rejected.
GUI Value Range: 0~100
Actual Value Range: 0~1
Default Value: 0
DlCellTotalThd BSC690 ADD UCELLCAC(Optional) Meaning: Admission threshold of the total
0 MOD UCELLCAC(Optional) cell downlink power. If the value is too high,
too many users will be admitted. However,
the throughput of a single user is easy to be
limited. If the value is too low, cell capacity
will be wasted.
GUI Value Range: 0~100
Actual Value Range: 0~1
Default Value: 90
DlConvAMRThd BSC690 ADD UCELLCAC(Optional) Meaning: The percentage of the
0 MOD UCELLCAC(Optional) conversational AMR service threshold to the
100% downlink load. It is applicable to
algorithm 1 and algorithm 2. The parameter
is used for controlling the AMR service
admission. That is, when an AMR service is
accessing, the RNC evaluates the
measurement value of the downlink load
after the service is accessed. If the DL load
of a cell is higher than this threshold after
the access of an AMR speech service, this
service will be rejected. If the DL load of a
cell will not be higher than this threshold,
this service will be admitted.
The DL load factor thresholds include
parameters of [DL threshold of Conv
non_AMR service], [DL handover access
