Feature Description
Background
The transmission rates of HSUPA UEs are low in most cases due to the
high penetration rate of smart phones. In this case, if the RNC reserves a
certain amount of credit resources for each admitted UE, the RNC rejects
new UE access attempts due to congested uplink credit resources. However,
the actual CE usage of the NodeB is low.
This problem can be resolved by enabling the TTI switching algorithm.
However, if the TTI of most UEs is switched from 2 ms to 10 ms, the
benefits of using a 2 ms TTI, such as the peak rate, short delay, and quick
scheduling, are unavailable. This reduces user experience.
Benefit
The CE Overbooking feature provides the following benefits when the
penetration rate of smart phones with an HSUPA TTI of 2 is high and the
average uplink throughput is low:
Relieves CE congestion during UE access.
Increases the number of admitted UEs and the number of UEs with a 2 ms
TTI.
Increases cell throughput when Uu resources are sufficient.

Technical Principles
With this feature, the NodeB adjusts the credit resource usage of admitted UEs based on the
actual CE usage, includes the credit resource usage in a private information element (IE) in a
measurement report, and sends the report to the RNC every measurement report period. The
RNC then directly uses the reported credit resource usage. The following figure shows the
implementation principle of this feature.

Functions
When dynamic CE resource management is implemented, the CE resources that are available
for HSUPA UEs are managed dynamically. That is, idle CEs are recycled when the data
transmission rates of HSUPA UEs are low, or no data is transmitted. When this feature is enabled,
the credit resource usage of HSUPA UEs with low transmission rates is calculated based on the
actual CE usage.
The following table lists the methods for calculating consumed credit resources before and after
the CE Overbooking feature is enabled.

Impact of CE Overbooking
When CE resources are insufficient, enabling this feature reduces the resources available to each
user, leading to lower per user throughput.
This feature relieves congestion of credit resources on the RNC and therefore affects network
performance as follows:
Increases the success rates for RRC connection setups, RAB setups, and handovers.
Increases the call drop rate due to insufficient CE resources on the NodeB when multiple UEs
transmit data simultaneously.
Possibly increases the call drop rate due to increased Uu load when more UEs are admitted.

Application scenarios
The CE usage on the NodeB is lower than the credit resource usage on the RNC.
Benefits
When the CE usage on the NodeB is low due to the low average throughput of 2 ms
HSUPA smart phones, this feature provides the following benefits:
Reduces the congestion of credit resources on the RNC. This increases the success
rate of access based on CE resources, and reduces the number of CE resource
request failures, probability of TTI switching triggered by CE congestion, and CEbased load reshufflings (LDRs).
Increases the number of admitted UEs and the number of HSUPA UEs with a 2 ms
TTI.

Activation suggestion
The CE usage on the NodeB is lower than the credit resource on the RNC.
Information collection
You are advised to enable this feature when credit resources are congested, and the
CE usage on the NodeB is much lower than the credit resource usage on the RNC.

Performance Monitoring
When CE usage is low due to a large number of 2 ms HSUPA smart
phones in the network, and the average uplink throughput is low, check
the following counters to observe performance changes:
VS.RRC.Rej.ULCE.Cong, VS.RAC.NewCallReq.Fail.ULCE.Cong, and
VS.HSUPA.RAB.FailEstab.ULCE.Cong: whether the success rate of
access based on CE resources increases, and whether the number of
CE resource request failures decreases.
VS.HSUPA.TTI2to10.Succ: whether the probability of TTI switching
triggered by CE congestion decreases
VS.MeanRTWP: whether Uu load increases
VS.HSUPA.MeanBitRate: whether the average cell throughput
increases
VS.HSUPA.UE.Mean.TTI2ms: number of HSUPA UEs with a 2 ms TTI
