Add Cell Oriented CAC Algorithm Parameters(ADD UCELLCAC)

Function
Use this command to add cell-oriented Call Admission Control (CAC) algorithm parameters.
In actual operation, it is necessary to set the CAC algorithm parameters based on the network management experience and algorithm analysis results, so as to achieve the following purposes:
1. Set coverage ranges for various services: set the restrictions on the transmit power of different services to satisfy different coverage requirements according to the network planning. Note that the
coverage specification must be taken into consideration together with the capacity specification.
2. Restrict services proportions in a cell: restrict the number of different services by setting different admission thresholds for conversational and other services, so as to ensure the priority of
conversational service.
3. Optimize resource configuration (1): set different admission thresholds for conversational service, other services and the services in handover state, so as to ensure the handover success rate as well
as the priority of conversational service.
4. Optimize resource configuration (2): reserve resources for UL/DL common channels so as to guarantee service transmission on the common channels.
There are 4 classes of services corresponding to different QoS requirements, as follows:
1. Conversational: This class corresponds to real-time services. The QoS requirement of this class is determined by people's sensory. It has a relatively looser BLER requirement, but strict transmission
delay requirement. Typical services: AMR speech and video phone.
2. Streaming: This class corresponds to real-time streaming services, such as audio and video programs. It's unindirectionally transmitted and serves individual users. It has a relatively looser delay
requirement than conversational, but the sequential relation should be ensured. Typical service: Video on demand.
3. Interactive: This class corresponds to data services, such as terminal browsing. It has a strict BLER requirement, and the transmission delay should be limited in a sensible range. Typical services: Web
browsing and database retrieval.
4. Background: This class also corresponds to data services. It has a strict BLER requirement, but no transmission delay requirement. Typical services: SMS, E-mail delivery and data download.

Note
1. [Cell environment type] is set to TU generally. In most cases, this parameter should not be changed.
2. Following restriction must be satisfied:
- 1)[UL OLC trigger threshold] >= [UL total power threshold] > [UL handover access threshold] > [UL threshold of Conv AMR service], [UL threshold of Conv non_AMR service] > [UL threshold of other
services];
- 2)MAX(UL handover access threshold,UL threshold of Conv AMR service,UL threshold of Conv non_AMR service,UL threshold of other services) > [UL LDR trigger threshold] > [UL LDR release

- 3)[Ul HandOver Credit Reserved SF] >= [Ul LDR Credit SF reserved threshold];
- 4)[DL OLC trigger threshold] >= [DL total power threshold] >= [DL handover access threshold] > [DL threshold of Conv AMR service], [DL threshold of Conv non_AMR service]> [DL threshold of other
services] ;
- 5)MAX(DL handover access threshold,DL threshold of Conv AMR service,DL threshold of Conv non_AMR service,DL threshold of other services) > [DL LDR trigger threshold] > [DL LDR release
threshold];
- 6)[Dl HandOver Credit and Code Reserved SF] >= [Dl LDR Credit SF reserved threshold];

[MTCH maximal power] > [MTCH reserve power];
[MTCH maximal power SF] > [MTCH reserve SF].
- 7)[Ul TotalPower CAC threshold] > [UL Target LoadFactor].

listed by LST UCELLLDM. The parameters of [Dl LDR Credit SF reserved threshold] and [Cell LDR SF reserved threshold] are set in ADD UCELLLDR and MOD UCELLLDR, and they can be listed by
