Introduction
Transmission Resource Management (TRM) is aimed at increasing the system capacity in various networking scenarios without affecting the Quality of Service (QoS). In addition, TRM provides differentiated services for Best Effort (BE) services to improve the data transmission efficiency. TRM involves management of the transmission resources on the Iub, Iur, and Iu interfaces. Transmission resources are one type of resource that the UTRAN provides. Closely related to TRM algorithms are Radio Resource Management (RRM) algorithms, such as the scheduling algorithm and load control algorithm for the Uu interface. The TRM algorithm policies should be consistent with the RRM algorithm policies. Compared with the transmission on the other interfaces, the transmission on the Iub interface is of higher costs and more complex networking modes and has a greater impact on the system performance. Therefore, this document describes only the TRM algorithms for the Iub interface.

Direct connection: The RNC is directly connected to a NodeB through a physical port, the bandwidth of which is exclusively occupied by this Iub interface. This is the simplest scenario, in which the TRM algorithms are also simple. Transmission convergence: As shown in Figure 3-1, the Iub traffic of more than one NodeB is converged, for example, on the transport network or by the hub NodeB. In this scenario, the transmission convergence information, which can serve as the input to TRM algorithms, must be configurable. The TRM algorithms applicable in transmission convergence scenarios are relatively complicated.

Bandwidth being variable: The bandwidth on the transport network might be variable. For example, the bandwidth of Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) transmission is variable. In this case, the TRM algorithms need to be able to detect the available bandwidth. ATM&IP dual stack: ATM and IP transmission resources are available for one Iub interface at the same time so that the transmission cost is reduced. Hybrid IP: High-QoS transmission (such as IP over E1) and low-QoS transmission (IP over FE) are applicable to one Iub interface at the same time so as to enable differentiated management of services. RAN sharing: Operators share the physical bandwidth. In this case, some bandwidth should be reserved for each operator.

Real-time (RT) service, such as conversational and streaming NRT or BE service, such as interactive and background
For RT services, the bandwidth must be guaranteed. In terms of QoS, RT services do not allow packet loss or buffering of a huge data volume. The buffering of a huge data volume will result in an increase in the delay. For NRT services, the Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) is not provided, so the bandwidth is not required to be guaranteed. In the case of resource shortage, the data can be buffered so as to reduce the traffic throughput. In order to guarantee the basic QoS of NRT services, the RAN allows the configuration of the GBR for NRT services. For the signaling such as NCP, CCP, SRB, and SIP, the traffic is low and its performance is closely related to Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the network. Therefore, the transmission of signaling takes precedence, and packet loss and long delay should be prevented. For R99 services, the time window mechanism is employed in the downlink, and the Iub delay and jitter are required to stay within a certain range.
With the QoS guaranteed, the network should allow access of users to the maximum extent. This is mainly implemented by the load control algorithm. When data needs to be transferred for NRT services with innate bursty characteristic, the bandwidth should be fully utilized to ensure a high throughput and prevent congestion. This is mainly implemented by the user plane congestion control algorithm.
Traffic class: The WCDMA system provides four traffic classes: conversational, streaming, interactive, and background, in descending order of traffic priority. User priority: There are three user priorities: Gold, Silver, and Copper, in descending order of priority. The mapping between user priorities and ARPs is configurable. For details, see the Load Control Parameter Description. Type of radio bearer: R99, High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), and High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA).
To provide differentiated services is to provide different QoSs according to the traffic class, user priority, and type of radio bearer. The details are as follows:
Differentiated service requirement for the transport layer: The transport layer provides multiple types of transport bearers and transmission priorities. The appropriate type of transport bearer and transmission priority should be selected according to the traffic class, user priority, and radio bearer type of the service. The transmission of high-priority traffic takes precedence upon transmission congestion, and thus the frame loss rate of the traffic is low and the transmission delay is short. For details, see chapter 5 "TRM Mapping."

Issue Error! Unknown document property name. (Error! Unknown document property name.)
Differentiated service requirement for the load control algorithm: The load control algorithm for the Uu interface already supports differentiated services. The load control algorithm for transmission resources should keep consistent with that for the Uu interface. For details, see chapter 6 "Load Control." Differentiated service requirement for the GBR of NRT services: For NRT services, the GBR is configurable by running the SET USERGBR command according to the traffic class, user priority, and bearer type (that is, DCH or HSPA) of the services. Differentiated service requirement for the allocation of bandwidth for NRT services: The activity of NRT services does not follow any obvious rule. When the demand from NRT services for the transmission bandwidth exceeds the total available Iub bandwidth, the bandwidth needs to be allocated to the services in a certain way. For High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) services, when Uu resources face a hurdle, the Uu resources are allocated to NRT services according to the Scheduling Priority Indicator (SPI) weight. Accordingly, in the case of Iub transmission resource shortage, the Iub transmission resources also need to be allocated to the NRT services according to the SPI. For details, see section 7.3 "Congestion Control of Iub User Plane."

4.3 LP Resources
4.3.1 LP Introduction
After the physical transmission resources and path resources are configured, the system can start to operate and services can be established. There are problems, however, in the following scenarios:
Transmission convergence Transmission convergence can be performed either on the transport network (for example, convergence of NB1 and NB2, as shown in Figure 4-3) or at the hub NodeB (for example, convergence of NB3 and NB4 at NB1, as shown in Figure 4-3). If only physical transmission resources and path resources are configured, the bandwidth constraints at the convergence points are unavailable. As shown in Figure 4-3, the total available bandwidth BW0 is known, but the values of BW1 through BW4 are unknown. Thus, the admission algorithm does not work properly. For example, if the total reserved bandwidth at NB2 exceeds BW2, congestion and packet loss may occur and in the downlink, the total volume of data sent to NB2 may exceed BW2.

RAN sharing Operators share the bandwidth at one NodeB. In this case, the bandwidth needs to be configured for each operator so that the bandwidth used by each operator does not exceed their respective reserved bandwidth. If only physical transmission resources and path resources are configured, such a requirement fails to be fulfilled.
To solve the preceding problems, the Logical Port (LP) concept is introduced to the TRM feature. LPs are used for bandwidth configuration at transport nodes and for bandwidth admission and traffic shaping, so as to prevent congestion. An LP describes the bandwidth constraints between paths or between other LPs.
An LP can be comprised of only paths. Such an LP is called a leaf LP. A physical port can be a leaf LP. An LP can also be comprised of only other LPs. Such an LP is called a hub LP. A physical port can be a hub LP.
One key characteristic of LPs is the bandwidth. For an LP, the uplink bandwidth can be different from the downlink bandwidth. LPs at the RNC can be classified into the following types:
ATM LP: used for bandwidth admission and traffic shaping. Multiple levels of ATM LPs are supported. IP LP: used for bandwidth admission and traffic shaping. Only one level of IP LP is supported. Transmission resource group: used for admission only and applicable to ATM and IP transport. Multiple levels of transmission resource groups are supported.
On the RNC side, LPs cannot contain transmission resource groups, and transmission resource groups cannot contain LPs either. LPs need to be configured on both the RNC and NodeB sides. LPs are configured on the RNC side for the following purposes:

Admission control in convergence or RAN sharing scenario Traffic shaping in the downlink
LPs are configured on the NodeB side for the following purposes:
Fairness between local data and forwarded data in convergence scenario Traffic shaping in RAN sharing scenario
Type of LP, that is, hub or leaf Bandwidth: The downlink bandwidth is used for traffic shaping and bandwidth admission, and the uplink bandwidth is used for bandwidth admission only. Resource management mode, that is, SHARE or EXCLUSIVE: indicates whether operators in RAN sharing scenario share the Iub transmission resources.
When the ADD AAL2PATH, ADD SAALLNK, or ADD IPOAPVC command is executed to add an AAL2 path, an SAAL link, or an IPoA PVC respectively, the path, link, or PVC can be set to join an LP. The RNC supports multi-level shaping (a maximum of five levels), which involves both leaf LPs and hub LPs. In the case of ATM traffic convergence, LPs need to be configured for each NodeB and at each convergence point, so as to implement bandwidth admission and traffic shaping. Take the convergence shown in Figure 4-4 as an example.

NB = NodeB
BW = bandwidth
The leaf LPs, that is, LP1, LP2, LP3, and LP4, have a one-to-one relation with the NodeBs. The bandwidth of each leaf LP is equal to the Iub bandwidth of each corresponding NodeB. The hub LP, that is, LP125, corresponds to the hub NodeB, and the LPs connected to the hub LP correspond to the NodeBs on the network. The bandwidth of the hub LP is equal to the Iub bandwidth of the hub NodeB. The actual rate at a leaf LP is limited by the bandwidth of the leaf LP and the scheduling rate at the hub LP and physical port. In the Call Admission Control (CAC) algorithm, the reserved bandwidth of a leaf LP is limited by not only the bandwidth of the leaf LP but also the bandwidth of the hub LP and the bandwidth of the physical port. That is, the total reserved bandwidth of all the LPs under a hub LP cannot exceed the bandwidth of the hub LP.
In RAN sharing scenario, an LP needs to be configured for each operator that uses the NodeB. Table 4-3 describes the ATM LP capabilities of interface boards at the RNC. Table 4-3 ATM LP capabilities of interface boards at the RNC Board AEUa Number of LPs

Bandwidth: The downlink bandwidth is used for traffic shaping and bandwidth admission, and the uplink bandwidth is used for bandwidth admission only. Resource management mode, that is, SHARE or EXCLUSIVE: indicates whether operators in RAN sharing scenario share the Iub transmission resources.
When the ADD IPPATH or ADD SCTPLNK command is executed to add an IP path or an SCTP link respectively, the path or link can be set to join an LP. IP LPs are similar to ATM LPs in terms of principles and application. The current version of RAN supports only one level of IP LP. Table 4-4 describes the IP LP capabilities of interface boards at the RNC.

bandwidth is used to calculate the remaining bandwidth for backpressure. Then, when the ADD AAL2PATH, ADD SAALLNK, or ADD OMCH command is executed to add an AAL2 path, an SAAL link, or an OM channel respectively, the path, link, or channel can be set to join an LP. ATM LPs at the NodeB are mainly used to differentiate operators in RAN sharing scenario. Each interface board of the NodeB supports a maximum of four ATM LPs.
When an AAL2 path is configured, the TXTRFX and RXTRFX parameters need to be set. They determine the type of path. The traffic record indexes are configured by running the ADD ATMTRF command.
4.4.2 IP Path
IP paths can be categorized into the following classes:
High-quality class Low-quality class The low-quality class, denoted LQ_xx, is applicable to only hybrid IP transport.
Issue Error! Unknown document property name. (Error! Unknown document property name.)

IP paths can be further classified into QoS path and non-QoS path.
The Per Hop Behavior (PHB) of QoS paths is determined by the TRM mapping configuration. The PHB of non-QoS paths is determined by the type of path.
Table 4-5 lists the types of IP path. Table 4-5 Types of IP path Type QoS path Non-QoS path High-Quality Class QoS BE AF11 AF12 AF13 AF21 AF22 AF23 AF31 AF32 AF33 AF41 AF42 AF43 EF Low-Quality Class LQ_QoS LQ_BE LQ_AF11 LQ_AF12 LQ_AF13 LQ_AF21 LQ_AF22 LQ_AF23 LQ_AF31 LQ_AF32 LQ_AF33 LQ_AF41 LQ_AF42 LQ_AF43 LQ_EF
NOTE
On the Iu-PS interface, even if IPoA transport is used, IP paths still need to be configured. HSDPA and HSUPA services can be carried on the same IP path, with HSDPA services in the downlink and HSUPA services in the uplink.
4.5 Priorities
At each ATM port (such as IMA, UNI, or fractional ATM port) or leaf LP of the RNC, there are five types, as shown in Figure 4-5. The scheduling order is as follows: CBR > RT-VBR > MCR of UBR+ > NRT-VBR > UBR > UBR+.

At each IP port (such as PPP/MLPPP port) or LP of the RNC, there are six types, as shown in Figure 4-6. The default scheduling order is as follows: Queue1 > Queue2 > WRR (Queue3, Queue4, Queue5, Queue6), where WRR refers to Weighted Round Robin. Figure 4-6 Priorities at each IP port of the RNC
At each ATM port (such as IMA, UNI, or fractional ATM port) or LP of the NodeB, there are four types, as shown in Figure 4-7. The scheduling order is as follows: CBR or MCR of UBR+ > RT-VBR > NRT-VBR > UBR or UBR+. Figure 4-7 Priorities at each ATM port of the NodeB
At each IP port (such as Ethernet port or PPP/MLPPP port) or LP of the NodeB, there are six types, as shown in Figure 4-8. The default scheduling order is as follows: Queue1 > WFQ (Queue2, Queue3, Queue4, Queue5, Queue6), where WFQ refers to Weighted Fair Queuing.

TRM Mapping
The transport network can provide differentiated QoS services, and the QoS requirements of traffic vary according to the traffic types. TRMMAP refers to the mapping from traffic bearers to transport bearers. The RNC supports configuration of mapping to transport bearers according to the characteristics of traffic.

For the Iub control plane and the Uu signaling, reliable transmission is required. The factors such as the frame loss rate and delay will affect KPIs such as the connection delay, handover success rate, access success rate, and call drop rate. For R99 services, excessive delay and jitter must be avoided. Otherwise, the time window will be adjusted frequently. For CS services, there are requirements for the delay and frame loss rate. For example, the end-to-end latency of voice services affects the Mean Opinion Score (MOS); Video Phone (VP) services are closely sensitive to packet loss. BE services are relatively insensitive to the delay, but they still have delay specifications for ping commands. When the load is light, the delay requirement must be fulfilled. When the load is heavy, the delay requirement can be lowered to a certain extent so as to guarantee the throughput.
From the narrow perspective, traffic types are determined by the traffic class at the radio network layer and the type of radio bearer. From the broad perspective, traffic types are determined jointly by the traffic class, type of radio bearer, ARP, and THP. Traffic bearers are used to describe the traffic types in the broad sense only. These traffic types are further classified according to user priorities, for the purpose of better differentiated services.
The mapping from traffic types to transmission resources takes the following factors into consideration:
Traffic class at the radio network layer: conversational, streaming, interactive, and background, in descending order of QoS requirement. The RNC provides the following traffic classes that can be used in TRMMAP configuration:
Common channel SRB SIP AMR speech CS conversational CS streaming PS conversational PS streaming PS interactive PS background
Type of radio bearer: R99, HSDPA, and HSUPA. R99 bearers have certain requirements for the delay because of the time window mechanism. HSPA bearers, however, have relatively low requirements for the delay because of the absence of the time window mechanism on the Iub interface. ARP: Even for traffic of the same type, the QoS requirements of different users vary. Thus, high-priority services may require high-QoS transport bearers at the transport layer.

Issue Error! Unknown document property name. (Error! Unknown document property name.)
THP: For interactive services, such as PS interactive services, THP parameters are available. There are three classes of THP: high, medium, and low.
In summary, the inputs to TRMMAP are the traffic class, type of radio bearer, user priority and ARP, and THP. That is, each combination of these inputs corresponds to one priority of transport bearer.

The DSCP mechanism employed at the RNC is as follows: The traffic carried on QoS paths uses the DSCPs mapped from services, whereas the traffic carried on non-QoS paths uses the DSCPs corresponding to the type of IP path, that is, PHB. The mapping from PHB to DSCP can be set by running the SET PHBMAP command.
Value range of DSCP: 0 to 63. Each DSCP corresponds to a PHB attribute. Value range of PHB: BE, AF11, AF12, AF13, AF21, AF22, AF23, AF31, AF32, AF33, AF41, AF42, AF43, and EF, in ascending order of priority.
QoS paths are recommended, because of simple configuration and better implementation of multiplexing, QoS guarantee, and service differentiation.

NOTE
The RNC-oriented default TRM mapping is not specific for operators or user priorities. If no adjacentnode-oriented mapping is configured, the RNC-oriented default TRM mapping applies.
If the mapping from PHB to DSCP is not configured by running the SET PHBMAP command, the default mapping applies.

If the traffic is carried on a non-QoS IP path, the DSCP corresponding to the path type is used. If the traffic is carried on a QoS IP path, the DSCP is determined by the mapping (that is, the PHBMAP) from the PHB, which is further determined by the mapping (that is, the TRMMAP) from traffic classes to QoS paths. Thus, the user needs to configure only one QoS path before obtaining diversified mapping from different traffic classes and user priorities to different DSCPs.
In RAN sharing scenario, if the resource management mode is set to EXCLUSIVE, the operator index needs to be set so as to specify the TRMMAP for the users of that operator at the adjacent node. The related commands are ADD TRMMAP, MOD TRMMAP, ADD ADJMAP, and MOD ADJMAP.

6.1 Definition of Load
Load Control
The load control algorithm allocates transmission resources to services, manages the transmission bandwidth, and controls the transmission load for the purpose of allowing access of users to the maximum extent without affecting the QoS.
The load control algorithm is implemented at the RNC, and therefore, the load is defined and measured at the RNC. The definition of load is based on the reserved bandwidth. The load control algorithm reserves bandwidth for each service. The load refers to the sum of bandwidth reserved for all services. The uplink load and downlink load are calculated separately. The load of each path and that of each LP (including leaf LP and hub LP) need to be calculated. The load definitions are as follows:
Load of a path: sum of bandwidth reserved for all services on the path Load of a leaf LP: total load of all paths carried on the LP Load of hub LP: total load of all LPs under the hub LP
user experience deteriorates and the Iub bandwidth usage decreases. To solve the possible congestion problem, the Iub interface requires the related congestion control algorithm. For details, see section 7.3 "Congestion Control of Iub User Plane." The following bandwidth reservation policies apply:
RT services, including conversational and streaming services, are admitted at the Maximum Bit Rate (MBR).
The bandwidth for RT services must be guaranteed. RT services do not allow packet loss or large-volume data buffering. The activity of RT services follows an obvious rule. When multiple services access the network, the total actual traffic volume is relatively stable. The appropriate setting of activity factors can help achieve correct admission of the services. RT services should be admitted on the basis of the average actual traffic volume, so that the number of users allowed to access the network can be increased to the maximum extent under the condition that the QoS is guaranteed. Reserved bandwidth for admission of an RT service = MBR x Activity factor, where the activity factor needs to be set for each type of service. NRT services do not have strict requirements for bandwidth guarantee. When resources are insufficient, the traffic throughput can be lowered at the application layer through data buffering, to which the application layer can be adaptive. The activity of NRT services does not follow any obvious rule. When multiple services access the network, the total actual traffic volume fluctuates greatly. Therefore, it is difficult to estimate the exact bandwidth used by NRT services. If a large number of users access the network, the bandwidth efficiency is improved to a certain extent, but congestion and packet loss occur. If a small number of users access the network, the bandwidth efficiency is low. If no appropriate user plane congestion control algorithm is available for preventing congestion and packet loss, the services should be admitted at the MBR multiplied by the activity factor. The MBR, however, needs to be adjusted frequently in the interests of high bandwidth efficiency and a large number of users accessing the network. Thus, a complicated user plane load algorithm is required. Huawei has developed a complete user plane congestion control algorithm, in which the only condition of transmission admission is to provide GBR guarantee for users. The principle is to allow access of users to the maximum extent under the condition that the GBR is guaranteed. That is, the admission algorithm can reserve the bandwidth for users based on the GBR. Admission at 3.4 Kbit/s: The bandwidth is fixed at 3.4 Kbit/s. This admission mode is applicable to R99, HSDPA, and HSUPA services. Admission at the GBR: For R99 services, if the bandwidth of a transport channel varies between 3.4 Kbit/s and 13.6 Kbit/s, resource allocation and resource admission do not need to be performed again.
NRT services, including interactive and background services, are admitted at the GBR.
In terms of 3G signaling, SRB services can be admitted at either the GBR or 3.4 Kbit/s.
In terms of common channels, EFACH services are admitted at the GBR, and other common channel services are admitted at the MBR.
Because of the discontinuity of traffic, there are active periods, during which data is transmitted, and inactive periods, during which data is not transmitted. Activity factors are used by the admission control to achieve better utilization of transmission resources.

Activity factors are applicable to the Iub, Iur, Iu-CS, and Iu-PS interfaces. The number of users that can access the network is related to the activity factors. For common channels or SRBs, the activity factors are identical for all users, instead of varying according to user priorities. Activity factors can be configured for different types of service by running the ADD TRMFACTOR command. Table 6-1 lists the default settings of activity factors for different types of service.

NOTE
For a path that belongs to a path group, admission control must be performed at both the path level and the path group level. For an IMA group or MLPPP group, the RNC automatically adjusts the maximum bandwidth available to the whole group and uses the new admission threshold if the bandwidth of an IMA link or MLPPP link changes.
Bandwidth reserved for handover Congestion threshold Congestion resolving threshold The congestion threshold and the congestion resolving threshold are used to prevent the pingpong effect. Based on the preceding requirement, the user priorities are as follows: User requesting handover > New user > User requesting rate upsizing The congestion thresholds are FWDCONGBW and BWDCONGBW, and the congestion resolving thresholds are FWDCONGCLRBW and BWDCONGCLRBW. The parameters that are used to reserve bandwidth for handover are as follows:

service is preferably admitted to the secondary path, so as to improve the resource usage and user experience. The load of a path is calculated as follows: PathLoad = PortUsed PortAvailable x 100% where:
PathLoad refers to the load of the path. PortUsed refers to the total bandwidth of the admitted services at the physical port. PortAvailable refers to the total available bandwidth at the physical port, including the used bandwidth.
When the primary path for a type of service exists at more than one physical port, PortUsed and PortAvailable refer to the sum of used bandwidth and the sum of available bandwidth at these ports respectively. Load balancing tables can be configured by running the ADD LOADEQ command. Each table contains primary path load thresholds and primary-to-secondary path load ratio thresholds. The combination of a primary path load threshold and a path load ratio threshold can vary depending on the traffic type. In addition, the ARP needs to be taken into consideration. After the load balancing tables are configured, they can be referenced when load balancing parameters need to be set for ATM&IP- or hybrid-IP-based Iub adjacent nodes by running the ADD ADJMAP or MOD ADJMAP command. The load balancing application policy is similar to the TRMMAP policy. If the reference for load balancing tables is not set for the adjacent node, the default load balancing table applies. The table with the index 0 is the default one. It can only be queried by running the LST LOADEQ command. able 6-2 lists the default settings of load and load ratio thresholds for different types of T service.

For example, assume that secondary paths are available for new users, handover of users, and rate upsizing of users and that the RNC selects primary paths as preferred paths for admission of the new users and handover of users (the procedures of admission with secondary paths preferred are the same). The following procedures describe the admission of these users on the Iub interface respectively. The admission procedure for a new user is as follows: Step 1 The new user attempts to be admitted to available bandwidth 1 on the primary path, as shown in Figure 6-1. Step 2 If the user succeeds in applying for the resources on the primary path, the user is admitted to the primary path. Step 3 If the user fails to apply for the resources on the primary path, the user then attempts to be admitted to available bandwidth 2 on the secondary path, as shown in Figure 6-1.

Step 2 If the rate upsizing on the bearing path is successful, the traffic of the user is still carried on the path.

BWDCONGCLRBW These two parameters are used to determine whether the congestion is resolved. Congestion detection can be triggered in any of the following conditions:
Bandwidth adjustment because of resource allocation, modification, or release Change in the configured bandwidth or the congestion threshold Fault in the physical link
Assume that the forward parameters of a port for congestion detection are defined as follows:
Issue Error! Unknown document property name. (Error! Unknown document property name.) Error! Unknown document property name. 6-11
Configured bandwidth: AVE Forward congestion threshold: CON Forward congestion resolving threshold: CLEAR (Note that CLEAR is greater than CON.) Used bandwidth: USED
Congestion occurs on the port when CON + USED AVE. Congestion disappears from the port when CLEAR + USED < AVE.
The congestion detection for a path or a resource group is similar to that for a port. Generally, congestion thresholds need to be set for only ports or resource groups. If different types of AAL2 paths or IP paths require different congestion thresholds, the associated parameters need to be set for the paths as required. If ATM LPs or IP LPs are configured, congestion control is also applicable to the LPs. The congestion detection mechanism for the LPs is the same as that for resource groups.
In ATM IMA networking scenario, an IMA group contains multiple E1s, among which some E1s are broken whereas others work properly. In ADSL networking scenario, the available ADSL bandwidth deteriorates abruptly, for example, from 8 Mbit/s to 1 Mbit/s. Some links in a link aggregation group are faulty, and thus the available bandwidth of the group decreases. Some links in an IP MLPPP group are faulty, and thus the available bandwidth of the group decreases.
Similar to congestion detection, overload detection is applicable to paths, resource groups, and ports. For example: Assume the available bandwidth at a port as AVE and the used bandwidth at the port as USED. Then, overload occurs when USED > AVE.
After the RNC receives a congestion message, the RNC triggers LDR actions. For details about the LDR actions, see the Load Control Parameter Description. After the RNC receives an overload message, the RNC triggers Overload Control (OLC) actions. OLC triggers release of resources used by users in order of comprehensive priority.

Scheduling in ATM transport mode: When there are multiple LPs or the hub NodeB needs to transmit the uplink data of the lower-level NodeB, the physical port performs scheduling of all the PVCs. The PVCs with high priority are dispatched preferentially. The PVCs with the same priority are dispatched on the basis of the services carried on the PVCs. Scheduling in IP transport mode: When there are multiple LPs, the IP physical port performs Round Robin (RR) scheduling of all the LPs to guarantee fairness between the LPs.
The RT service flow is stable, and the demand for resources is relatively regular. Thus, the load control algorithm is usually adopted to control the resource consumption for the RT service. The NRT service flow fluctuates significantly. Therefore, in addition to the admission control algorithm, you also need to adopt the congestion control algorithm of the user plane to control the resource consumption for the NRT service. The fluctuation of the NRT service flow may cause the data flow to be sent on the Iub interface to exceed the actual available bandwidth. As a result, congestion and packet loss occur, thus seriously affecting the bandwidth efficiency on the Iub interface. Therefore, the congestion control algorithm must be adopted to control the total transmission rate on the Iub interface to prevent congestion and packet loss and to improve the bandwidth efficiency.
Except to guarantee the total bandwidth efficiency, the congestion control algorithm is applied to meet the requirement of differentiated NRT services.
Requirement of differentiated NRT services: The bandwidth resources are allocated among NRT services by proportion based on the service priorities (including service type, ARP, THP, and radio bearer type) in the case that the GBR of NRT services is guaranteed.
The HSPA scheduling algorithm (including HSDPA and HSUPA scheduling algorithms) implements differentiated services on the air interface. The details are as follows:
Service-to-SPI mapping: Based on the TC, ARP, and THP, one service is mapped to SPI, and the corresponding SPI weighting factors are configured. The mapping is configured on the RNC. The RNC notifies the NodeB of the SPI corresponding to each service through the NBAP signaling. For details on SPI mapping, see the HSPA Parameter Description. Differentiated resource allocation: When the resources on the air interface are limited, the HSPA scheduling algorithm allocates the total resources among users based on the SPI weighting factors.

Issue Error! Unknown document property name. (Error! Unknown document property name.)
To implement differentiated services in the same way, the Iub congestion control algorithm also uses SPI weighting factors for implementing differentiated services on the Iub interface., that is, the bandwidth is allocated by proportion based on the SPI weighting factors in the case that the GBR of the service is guaranteed. The differences are as follows:
The HSPA scheduling algorithm is applied to all the HSPA services except R99 services. The Iub congestion control algorithm is applied only to the NRT services, including HSPA and R99 services. R99 services adopt the same service-to-SPI mapping mechanism as that of HSPA services, and SPI weighting factors are set for R99 services. The HSPA scheduling algorithm is implemented in the NodeB. The downlink Iub congestion control algorithm is implemented in the RNC. The uplink Iub congestion control algorithm is implemented on the NodeB side.
The Iub congestion control algorithm must be implemented in the uplink and downlink directions. It consists of the following algorithms:
RLC (Radio Link Control) retransmission rate-based downlink congestion control algorithm Backpressure-based downlink congestion control algorithm NodeB HSDPA-based adaptive downlink flow control R99 single service downlink congestion control algorithm NodeB backpressure-based uplink congestion control algorithm Transport layer uplink congestion control algorithm R99 single service uplink congestion control algorithm

Congestion Control Algorithm RNC R99 single service downlink congestion control algorithm
The recommended configurations for the downlink congestion control algorithms are as follows:
The RLC retransmission rate-based congestion control algorithm switch is disabled. Other algorithm switches are enabled. In the convergence scenario, the multiple-level LPs are configured if the configuration of multiple-level LPs is supported. In the IP transport scenario, the IP PM is enabled if it is supported.
The relations between the four downlink congestion control algorithms are as follows:
Relation between the RNC backpressure-based congestion control algorithm and the RNC RLC retransmission rate-based congestion control algorithm
Both the algorithms are implemented in the RNC. Therefore, they may take effect simultaneously. When the backpressure-based congestion control algorithm switch of a service is enabled, the RLC retransmission rate-based congestion control algorithm switch is disabled automatically.
Relation between the RNC backpressure-based congestion control algorithm and the RNC R99 single service congestion control algorithm
Both the algorithms are implemented in the RNC. Therefore, they may take effect simultaneously. In the case that backpressure takes effect, the backpressure-based congestion control algorithm ensures that no packet loss occurs in the RNC. The R99 single service congestion control algorithm monitors packet loss and reduces the rate only when congestion occurs on the transport network. Therefore, it has no impact on the backpressure-based congestion control algorithm. It serves as the supplement in the case that backpressure does not take effect.
Relation between the RNC R99 single service congestion control algorithm and the RNC RLC retransmission rate-based congestion control algorithm
Both the algorithms are implemented in the RNC. Therefore, they may take effect simultaneously. The R99 single service congestion control algorithm can take the place of the RLC retransmission rate-based congestion control algorithm. Therefore, when the R99 single service congestion control algorithm takes effect, the RLC retransmission ratebased congestion control algorithm can be disabled.
Relation between the NodeB HSDPA flow control algorithm and the RNC backpressurebased congestion control algorithm The HSDPA flow control algorithm is implemented in the NodeB, and the backpressurebased congestion control algorithm is implemented in the RNC. Therefore, they may take effect simultaneously.
If the NodeB HSDPA flow control algorithm switch is set to NO_BW_SHAPING, then the two algorithms do not conflict in the case that backpressure takes effect. The

congestion problem on the Iub interface cannot be solved in the case that backpressure does not take effect.
If the NodeB HSDPA flow control algorithm switch is set to DYNAMIC_BW_SHAPING, then the two algorithms conflict in the case that backpressure takes effect. The NodeB HSDPA flow control algorithm can independently solve the congestion problem of HSDPA users on the Iub interface in the case that backpressure does not take effect. If the NodeB HSDPA flow control algorithm switch is set to BW_SHAPING_ONOFF_TOGGLE, then the NodeB flow control policy is automatically set to DYNAMIC_BW_SHAPING and can independently solve the congestion problem of HSDPA users in the case that backpressure does not take effect. The NodeB flow control policy is automatically set to NO_BW_SHAPING in the case that backpressure takes effect.
Relation between the NodeB HSDPA flow control algorithm and the RNC RLC retransmission rate-based congestion control algorithm
The NodeB HSDPA flow control algorithm is excellent. Therefore, the RLC retransmission rate-based congestion control algorithm of the HSDPA service is not used. When both the algorithms take effect simultaneously, one is applied to R99 services, and the other is applied to HSDPA services. They do not conflict with each other. Generally, the priority of R99 services is higher than that of HSDPA services. Therefore, the rate of HSDPA services is reduced till the rate reaches the minimum value. In this case, the RLC retransmission rate-based congestion control algorithm takes effect to limit the rate of R99 services.
Relation between the NodeB HSDPA flow control algorithm and the RNC R99 single service congestion control algorithm
The HSDPA flow control algorithm is implemented in the NodeB, and the R99 single service congestion control algorithm is implemented in the RNC. Therefore, they may take effect simultaneously. When both the algorithms take effect simultaneously, one is applied to R99 services, and the other is applied to HSDPA services. They do not conflict. The R99 single service congestion control algorithm aids the NodeB HSDPA flow control algorithm in solving flow control problems of R99 services.
For the R99 BE service, use the SET CORRMALGOSWITCH command, and set the DRA_R99_DL_FLOW_CONTROL_SWITCH subparameter of DraSwitch to On. For the HSDPA BE service, use the SET CORRMALGOSWITCH command, and set the DRA_HSDPA_DL_FLOW_CONTROL_SWITCH subparameter of DraSwitch to On.
Step 1 The RNC initiates periodic monitoring of the RLC PDU retransmission rate. The monitoring period is specified by the MoniterPrd parameter. The RNC calculates the retransmission rate according to the following formula: Fn = (1 a) x Fm + a x Mn
Fn: retransmission rate to be calculated Fm: previously calculated retransmission rate n=m+1 Mn: currently measured retransmission rate a = 0.5
Step 2 When the retransmission rate is higher than EventAThred in a specified continuous period (TimeToTriggerA x MoniterPrd ), event A is triggered.
For the R99 BE service, the RNC reduces the current transmission rate by 50%. For the HSDPA BE service, the RNC reduces the current transmission rate by 50%.
After event A is triggered, there is a waiting period (PendingTimeA x MoniterPrd ). In this period, the RNC stops monitoring the retransmission rate. Step 3 When the retransmission rate is lower than EventBThred in a specified continuous period (TimeToTriggerB x MoniterPrd ), event B is triggered.
For the R99 BE service, the RNC increases the current transmission rate by 130%. For the HSDPA BE service, the RNC increases the current transmission rate by 130%.
After event B is triggered, there is a waiting period (PendingTimeB x MoniterPrd ). In this period, the RNC stops monitoring the retransmission rate. The procedure for flow control algorithm 1 of the BE service is shown in Figure 7-1.

This algorithm is based on backpressure flow control of the interface board. The license must be obtained according to different network modes, and the Iub overbooking feature must be activated. The following functions require corresponding licenses:
ATM Iub overbooking: used for the ATM non-hub network Hub Iub overbooking: used for the ATM hub network IP Iub overbooking: used for the IP network
The algorithm switch must be enabled. The FLOWCTRLSWITCH parameter is set to ON, and the FCINDEX parameter together with the thresholds is used for port flow control. Therefore, the setting of FLOWCTRLSWITCH is based on the ports.
For the ATM network, the ports are the UNI link, IMA group, fractional link, LP, and optical port. For the IP network, the ports are the LP, PPP link, MLPPP group, optical port, and Ethernet port.
The algorithm is implemented as follows: Step 1 The interface boards monitor the transmission buffers of the queues on the Iub interface. The ATM interface board has five queues, and the IP interface board has six queues. For the IP interface board, the number of queues with absolute priorities can be set through the PQNUM parameter. The scheduling of queues with absolute priorities depends on the priorities of special users. The rest queues use the RR scheduling algorithm. The number of rest queues is equal to 6 minus the value of PQNUM. The RR scheduling is performed according to the sequence of the queues and then the sequence of the tasks. Step 2 When the buffer length of a queue is greater than the congestion threshold, the queue enters the congestion state. When a queue on the port is congested, the port becomes congested accordingly. The interface boards send congestion signals to the DPUb boards concerned. The DPUb boards reduce the transmission rate of the BE service to GBR x 10%.
The congestion thresholds are CONGTHD0, CONGTHD1, CONGTHD2, CONGTHD3, CONGTHD4, and CONGTHD5.
Step 3 When the buffer length of the queue is greater than the packet discarding threshold, the RNC starts discarding data packets from the buffer.
The packet discarding thresholds are DROPPKTTHD0, DROPPKTTHD1, DROPPKTTHD2, DROPPKTTHD3, DROPPKTTHD4, and DROPPKTTHD5. The length of packets discarded from the queue is equal to the packet discarding threshold minus the congestion threshold.
Step 4 When the buffer length of the queue is smaller than the congestion recovery threshold, the queue leaves the congestion state. The port is recovered if all the queues on the port leave the

congestion state. The interface boards send congestion resolving signals to the associated DPUb boards, and the DPUb boards restore the transmission rate of BE users on the port.
The recovery thresholds are CONGCLRTHD0, CONGCLRTHD1, CONGCLRTHD2, CONGCLRTHD3, CONGCLRTHD4, and CONGCLRTHD5. The restored rate is r x 95%, where r is the final transmission rate of the user before the user enters the congestion state.
Step 5 After the BE users leave the congestion state, the RNC increases the transmission rate every 10 ms according to the increasing step until the BE users reach the Maximum Bit Rate (MBR). The value of MBR is carried on the Radio Access Bearer (RAB) from the Core Network (CN).
The initial increasing step of the transmission rate is 2,000 bit/s x SPI, and the step is doubled at intervals of 200 ms.

transport and thus controls the transmission rate of the downlink R99 service. The RNC adopts the policy of reducing rate by proportion and increasing rate by absolute rate to ensure fairness and to implement differentiated services. Therefore, the flow control problems of the R99 service can be solved. The prerequisite for implementing the algorithm is that the DLR99CONGCTRLSWITCH parameter is set to ON. The algorithm is implemented as follows: Step 1 The RNC measures the number of FP packets in real time and sends the downlink node synchronization frame once a second to implement congestion detection based on the downlink node synchronization frame. The downlink node synchronization frame contains the PM packet sequence number and the number of FP packets sent by the RNC (excluding the number of control frames). Step 2 The NodeB measures the number of received FP packets in real time, fills the number of FP packets in the received downlink node synchronization frame, and then generates an uplink node synchronization frame and sends it to the RNC. Step 3 If the RNC detects frame loss and congestion of the downlink R99 service after receiving the uplink node synchronization frame and does not reduce the L2 transmission rate in a period of time, the RNC reduces the L2 transmission rate by a certain percentage to a rate not smaller than the GBR. Step 4 The RNC increases the L2 transmission rate by a certain step every 1.5s to a rate not greater than the MBR. The initial increasing step of the transmission rate is 2,000 bit/s x SPI, and the step is doubled at intervals of 20s. Step 5 After obtaining the L2 transmission rate, the RNC sends data by using the leaky bucket algorithm. ----End
The BE service is less sensitive to delay. The rate fluctuates considerably. When the data burst occurs, the rate may become very high. The rate of the steaming service is relatively high, which may lead to congestion on the Iub interface. The flow control policy is not used for the SRB, IMS, VoIP, or CS AMR service of HSDPA users because the amount of data is small and the services are sensitive to delay.
The flow control algorithm solves the Iub congestion problems of HSDPA users in various scenarios. The prerequisites for implementing the algorithm are as follows:
When the switch is set to ON, the RNC sends the user MBR to the NodeB. When the NodeB MAC-hs flow control entity distributes flow to the users, the rate does not exceed the MBR.

When the switch is set to OFF, the Iub MBR reporting function is disabled.
NOTE
The NodeB Iub flow control algorithm switch Switch is set as follows:
When the switch is set to DYNAMIC_BW_SHAPING, the NodeB adjusts the available bandwidth for HSDPA users based on the delay and packet loss condition on the Iub interface. Then, considering the rate on the air interface, the NodeB performs Iub shaping and distributes flow to HSDPA users. When the switch is set to NO_BW_SHAPING, the NodeB does not adjust the bandwidth based on the delay and packet loss condition on the Iub interface. The NodeB reports the conditions on the air interface to the RNC, and then the RNC performs bandwidth allocation. When the switch is set to BW_SHAPING_ONOFF_TOGGLE, the flow control policy for the ports of the NodeB is either DYNAMIC_BW_SHAPING or NO_BW_SHAPING in accordance with the congestion detection mechanism of the NodeB.
This section describes the flow control policy used when Switch is set to BW_SHAPING_ONOFF_TOGGLE. The algorithm architecture is shown in Figure 7-4. Figure 7-4 Dynamic flow control algorithm architecture
The algorithm is implemented as follows: Step 1 The congestion status of the transport network is reported to the NodeB through the DRT and FSN. The NodeB monitors transmission delay and packet loss periodically. If the NodeB detects no congestion, it increases the HSDPA Iub bandwidth.

The Iub frame loss rate threshold is specified by DR. If the detected frame loss rate is lower than the threshold, no congestion due to packet loss occurs. The Iub delay congestion threshold is specified by TD. If the detected delay is lower than the threshold, no congestion due to delay occurs. If the NodeB detects no congestion in a period of time, it stops the delay detection and the algorithm switch is set to NO_BW_SHAPING. That is, flow shaping is disabled. If the NodeB detects congestion due to packet loss, it continues with the delay detection and the algorithm switch is set to DYNAMIC_BW_SHAPING. That is, the Iub bandwidth adaptive algorithm and flow shaping are enabled.
Step 2 The NodeB adjusts the HSDPA Iub bandwidth based on the congestion due to delay and packet loss. The adjusted bandwidth is the input for the Iub shaping function of the NodeB. Step 3 The NodeB allocates capacity to MAC-hs based on the rate on the Uu interface. The allocated capacity does not exceed the MBR. Step 4 Based on the capacity allocated on the Uu interface, the NodeB allocates the Iub bandwidth to HSDPA users and performs Iub shaping to ensure that the total flow of all the queues does not exceed the available Iub bandwidth. In this way, Iub interface congestion is controlled, Iub interface utilization is improved, and overload is prevented. If the Iub shaping function of the NodeB is disabled, skip this step. Step 5 The RNC limits the bandwidth for each MAC-hs queue based on the HS-DSCH capacity allocation result. ----End

Congestion Control Algorithm NodeB cross-Iur single HSUPA service uplink congestion control algorithm
The recommended configurations for the uplink congestion control algorithms are as follows:
All the algorithm switches are enabled. In the IP transport scenario, the IP PM is enabled if it is supported.
The relations between the four uplink congestion control algorithms are as follows:
The NodeB backpressure-based uplink congestion control algorithm and the NodeB uplink bandwidth adaptive adjustment algorithm are implemented in the NodeB. The RNC R99 single service uplink congestion control algorithm is implemented in the RNC. These three algorithms may take effect simultaneously. The result (available bandwidth for LPs) of the NodeB uplink bandwidth adaptive adjustment algorithm is the input for the NodeB backpressure-based uplink congestion control algorithm. If the NodeB boards support the NodeB uplink bandwidth adaptive adjustment algorithm and the NodeB backpressure-based uplink congestion control algorithm, both the algorithms can be used together to solve the uplink Iub congestion problems (in direct connection and convergence scenarios). This is the main scheme of the uplink flow control algorithm. If the NodeB supports the NodeB backpressure-based uplink congestion control algorithm and the NodeB uplink bandwidth adaptive adjustment algorithm, the RNC R99 single service uplink congestion control algorithm can control the transmission rate of UEs based on the backpressure flow control and rate limiting results. They do not conflict with each other. Otherwise, the RNC R99 single service uplink congestion control algorithm independently controls the transmission rate of UEs based on the FP congestion detection results. If the NodeB supports the NodeB backpressure-based uplink congestion control algorithm and the NodeB uplink bandwidth adaptive adjustment algorithm, the NodeB cross-Iur single HSUPA service uplink congestion control algorithm can solve the packet loss problem due to Iur interface congestion for HSUPA users.
7.5.2 NodeB Backpressure-Based Uplink Congestion Control Algorithm (R99 and HSUPA)
The NodeB backpressure-based uplink congestion control algorithm is implemented in the NodeB to ensure that there is no congestion due to packet loss in the NodeB. The policy of reducing rate by proportion and increasing rate by absolute rate is adopted to ensure fairness between BE services.

Figure 7-5 Principle of the NodeB backpressure-based uplink congestion control algorithm
The algorithm is implemented as follows: Step 1 The interface boards monitor the transmission buffers of the LPs and queues on the Iub interface. When congestion is detected, the interface boards send congestion signals to the DSP concerned. All the BE users on the DSP enter the congestion state. The transmission rate is limited but is not lower than the GBR.
For ATM transport or IP transport based on the V1 platform: The algorithm must calculate a virtual buffer data volume and check whether congestion occurs because LP shaping is not supported.
If congestion is detected on the port, all queues are congested. If no congestion is detected on the port, the status of the queues must be checked on the basis of the buffer data of the queues.
For IP transport based on the V2 platform: The algorithm directly checks whether congestion occurs on the port based on the actually measured buffer usage on the port because LP shaping is supported. If congestion is detected on the port, the rates of all the BE users on the port are reduced.
Step 2 When the buffer data volume on the decoding DSP is larger than a certain threshold, some data packets in the buffer are discarded.
For HSUPA users, the data can be buffered in the decoding DSP for 500 ms and will be discarded after 500 ms. For R99 users, the data can be buffered in the decoding DSP for 60 ms and will be discarded after 60 ms.
Step 3 When the buffer data volume of the LPs and queues is smaller than the congestion recovery threshold, congestion is resolved. The interface boards send the congestion resolving signals to the DSP concerned. The BE users on the port leave the congestion state, and the transmission rates are restored. Step 4 After the BE users leave the congestion state, the decoding DSP increases the transmission rate by a certain step every 10 ms until the transmission rate of the BE users reaches the MBR.

The initial increasing step of the transmission rate is 2,000 bit/s x SPI, and the step is doubled at intervals of 200 ms. Step 5 The buffer data volume on the decoding DSP is the input for scheduling. The hybrid service may consider the buffer conditions of several services on the decoding DSP. ----End
Congestion Status indicates the congestion status of the transport network. Its values are as follows:
0: no TNL congestion 1: reserved for future use 2: TNL congestion detected by delay build-up 3: TNL congestion detected by frame loss
After receiving the non-cross-Iur congestion indication periodically measured on each LP, the NodeB adjusts the exit bandwidth on the NodeB side according to the following principles:
If the NodeB receives the congestion indication in which the value of Congestion Status is 2 or 3 in a measurement period, it reduces the exit bandwidth of the LP by a certain step.
Error! Unknown document property name. 7-15
Issue Error! Unknown document property name. (Error! Unknown document property name.)
Otherwise, the NodeB increases the exit bandwidth of the LP by a certain step, and the changed exit bandwidth does not exceed the configured bandwidth.
If the NodeB detects congestion due to frame loss or delay in a measurement period, it reduces the exit bandwidth of the LP by a certain step. Otherwise, the NodeB increases the exit bandwidth of the LP by a certain step, and the changed exit bandwidth does not exceed the configured bandwidth.
The algorithm is implemented as follows: Step 1 The uplink DCH data frame is extended to implement FP-based uplink congestion detection. The extension information consists of the PM packet indication, PM packet transmission time, total number of FP packets sent by the decoding DSP (including data packets discarded from the buffer of the decoding DSP), and total number of FP packets sent by the decoding DSP to the transport network (excluding data packets discarded from the buffer of the decoding DSP). Step 2 If the DCH FP frame carries the total number of FP packets sent by the NodeB, the RNC performs R99 single service uplink congestion detection.
If the FP of a service of a user detects the uplink R99 congestion due to frame loss,
If the rate reducing period timer expires, the RNC reduces the rate of the uplink service by a level and notifies the UE through the TFC Control signaling. The rate is not lower than the GBR. Then, the rate reducing period timer and the congestion recovery timer are started. If the rate reducing period timer does not expire, the rate cannot be reduced, and the congestion recovery timer is restarted.
Step 3 If the congestion recovery timer expires and the current rate of the user does not reach the MBR, the RNC increases the rate by a level and notifies the UE through the TFC CONTROL signaling. Then, the congestion recovery timer is restarted. ----End

7.5.5 NodeB Cross-Iur Single HSUPA Service Uplink Congestion Control Algorithm
The NodeB cross-Iur single HSUPA service uplink congestion control algorithm is implemented in the NodeB. For users across the Iur interface, the NodeB adjusts the exit rate of a single service according to the TNL Congestion Indication returned by the SRNC to prevent congestion due to packet loss on the Iur interface. The new boards of the RAN10.0 support this algorithm. The boards of the RAN10.0 or earlier versions do not support this algorithm.
NOTE
The algorithm is implemented as follows: Step 1 For the cross-Iur HSUPA service, the RNC sends the cross-Iur TNL Congestion Indication to the NodeB and indicates that the user is across the Iur interface. Step 2 After receiving the cross-Iur TNL Congestion Indication from the RNC, the NodeB performs the operation as follows: The NodeB limits the transmission rate (not lower than the GBR) of the user and restarts the rate reducing and suspension period timer of the uplink cross-Iur HSUPA service if the TNL Congestion Indication indicates congestion due to frame loss or delay and the timer expires. Step 3 In a period of 1s, the NodeB increases the transmission rate for the uplink cross-Iur HSUPA user by a level by a certain step until the rate of the BE user reaches the MBR. The initial increasing step of the transmission rate is 2,000 bit/s x SPI, and the step is doubled at intervals of 20s. Step 4 After obtaining the transmission rate, the decoding DSP sends data by using the leaky bucket algorithm. If the NodeB supports uplink backpressure, the transmission rate is the minimum value between the rate limited by the backpressure algorithm and the rate specified by this algorithm. ----End

The FP-MUX is applied only to Iub user plane data based on the UDP/IP protocol. The FP-MUX can be applied to frames with the same priority, namely, frames with the same DSCP value.

To activate the FP-MUX, the FPMUXSWITCH parameter should be set to YES. SUBFRAMELEN indicates the maximum length of the subframe; MAXFRAMELEN indicates the maximum frame length of the FP-MUX UPD/IP packet. At the time set by FPTIME, the UDP packet is sent. Only the FG2a and GOUa support the FP-MUX. Each board supports 1,800 FP-MUX streams. The QoS path occupies 14 FP-MUX streams for mapping, and the non-QoS path occupies only one FP-MUX stream.IP
IP RAN header compression is performed to compress the protocol header of the PPP frame to improve the bandwidth utilization. The RNC and NodeB support the following header compression methods.
ACFC
Address and Control Field Compression (ACFC) complies with RFC 1661. It is used to compress the address and control fields of the PPP protocol. Generally, the address and control field values are fixed values and need not be transferred each time. After the Link Control Protocol (LCP) negotiation of the PPP link is complete, the address and control field of successive packets can be compressed.
Issue Error! Unknown document property name. (Error! Unknown document property name.)
7-18
PFC
Protocol Field Compression (PFC) complies with RFC 1661. It is used to compress the 2-byte protocol field to a 1-byte one. The structure of this field is consistent with the ISO 3309 extension mechanism for the protocol field.
When the least significant bit of the protocol field is 0, the protocol field contains two bytes. The remaining bits follow this bit. When the least significant bit of the protocol field is 1, the protocol field contains one byte. This byte is the last one.
Most packets can be compressed because the assigned protocol field value is generally less than 256.
IPHC
IP Header Compression (IPHC) complies with RFC 2507 and RFC 3544. It is used to compress the IP/UDP header on the PPP link. IPHC improves the bandwidth utilization by using the following methods:
The unchanged header fields in the IP/UDP header are not carried in each packet. The header fields changed in a specified mode are replaced by the less significant bits.
When a packet with a full header is occasionally sent, the header context can be established at both ends of the link. The original header can be restored according to the context and the received compressed header.
The associated parameter on the RNC side is IPHC. The associated parameter on the NodeB side is IPHC.
In normal mode, for the DCH, the NodeB continuously sends the UL DATA FRAME to the RNC. In silent mode, when only one transport channel is transmitted on the transport bearer, the NodeB does not send the UL DATA FRAME to the RNC after receiving a TFI indicating TB numbered 0 in a TTI period. In silent mode, for all associated DCHs, the NodeB does not send the UL DATA FRAME to the RNC after receiving a TFI indicating TB numbered 0.
In the current release, the transmission mode is permanently set to the normal mode.

On the actual network, the bandwidth on the Iub interface may be variable. Based on the packet loss and delay on the IP transport network detected by IP PM, the transmission
Issue Error! Unknown document property name. (Error! Unknown document property name.) Error! Unknown document property name. 7-19
bandwidth on the Iub IP LP can be adjusted adaptively. The adjusted bandwidth can be used as the input for port backpressure. The IP PM solution is described as follows:
If backpressure is implemented on the LP, congestion and packet loss do not occur on the LP but may occur on the transport network. The RNC and NodeB implement IP PM in the following way to detect congestion and packet loss on the transport network:
The transmitter sends a Forward Monitoring (FM) packet containing the count and timestamp of the transmit packet to the receiver. The receiver adds the count and timestamp of the receive packet to the FM packet to generate a Backward Reporting (BR) packet and then sends it to the transmitter. The transmitter adjusts the available bandwidth on the LP according to the FM and BR packets and adjusts the rate on the LP according to the bandwidth adjustment result.
The dynamic adjustment of the bandwidth on the LP is dependent on the IP PM detection result. During the LP configuration, if the BWADJ parameter is set to ON, IP PM for all IP paths on the LP must be activated. Therefore, the system dynamically adjusts the bandwidth on the LP according to the Iub transmission quality information obtained by IP PM.
The predicted available bandwidth is also applied to the access algorithm. For details, see section 6.3 "Admission Control."
If the BWADJ parameter is set to ON, MAXBW and MINBW must be configured. If the BWADJ parameter is set to OFF, only one fixed bandwidth may be configured for the LP. Only the FG2a and GOUa support IP PM. Each board supports 500 PM streams. The QoS Path needs to occupy a maximum of 14 PM streams. The non-QoS Path occupies only one PM stream. The ACT IPPM command is used to activate IP PM, and the DEA IPPM command is used to deactivate IP PM.

GUI Value Range 16~1023 DYNAMIC_B W_SHAPING: According to the flow control of STATIC_BW_ SHAPING, traffic is allocated to HSDPA users when the delay and packet loss on the Iub interface are taken into account. The RNC use the R6 switch to perform this function. It is recommended that the RNC in compliance with R6 should perform this function. NO_BW_SHA PING: The NodeB does not allocate bandwidth according to the configuration or delay on the Iub interface. The RNC allocates the bandwidth according to the bandwidth on the Uu interface reported by the NodeB. To perform this function, the reverse flow control switch must be enabled by the RNC. The link

GUI Value Range is not congested when the delay is lower than this threshold. The link is not congested when frame loss ratio is no higher than this threshold. BW_SHAPING _ONOFF_TOG GLE: If BW_SHAPING _ONOFF_TOG GLE is selected, the system automatically selects DYNAMIC_B W_SHAPING or NO_BW_SHA PING on the basis of the NodeB congestion detection mechanism. In other words, DYNAMIC_B W_SHAPING is selected when congestion is detected; NO_BW_SHA PING is selected when there is no congestion within a specific time. BW_SHAPING _ONOFF_TOG GLE, DYNAMIC_B W_SHAPING, and NO_BW_SHA PING are flow
