WCDMA RAN
Load Control
2 Overview
2 Overview
The WCDMA system is a self-interfering system. As the load of the system increases, the interference
rises. A relatively high interference can affect the coverage of cells and QoS of established services.
Therefore, the capacity, coverage, and QoS of the WCDMA system are mutually affected. To solve these
problems, the load control function is introduced to control the load in a cell.
Load control aims to maximize the system capacity while ensuring coverage and QoS by controlling the
key resources, such as power, downlink channelization codes, channel elements (CEs), and Iub
transmission resources, which directly affect user experience.
Each cell has its own set of load control functions that are responsible for monitoring and controlling the
resources of the cell. The load control functions monitor the load condition of the cell through load
measurement, make the admission decision for services through intelligent access control and call
admission control, and relieve congestion in a cell.
2.1 Load Control in Different Scenarios

Depending on the different phases of UE access, different load control functions are used, as shown in
the following figure.
Figure 2-1 Load control functions in different UE access phases
The load control functions are applied to different UE access phases as follows:
Before UE access: Potential User Control (PUC)
During UE access: Intelligent Access Control (IAC) and Call Admission Control (CAC)
After UE access: Inter-Frequency Load Balancing Based on Configurable Load Threshold(CLB),

intra-frequency Load Balancing (LDB), Load Reshuffling (LDR), and Overload Control (OLC)
The following sections provide detailed information about the load control functions performed in the
different UE access phases.
2.2 Functions of Load Control

Load control is implemented on the RNC after obtaining measurement reports from the NodeBs.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

2-1
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
2 Overview
Figure 2-2 Load control function in the WCDMA system
The load control functions are described as follows:
PUC
The function of PUC is to balance traffic load among cells on different frequencies. The RNC uses
PUC to modify cell selection and reselection parameters, and broadcasts them through system
information. In this way, UEs are directed to the lightly loaded cells. The UEs can be in idle mode,
CELL_FACH state, CELL_PCH state, or URA_PCH state.
IAC
The function of IAC is to increase the access success rate with the current QoS guaranteed through
rate negotiation, queuing, preemption, and directed retry decision (DRD). For details about DRD, see
Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
CAC
The function of CAC is to decide whether to accept resource requests from UEs, such as access,
reconfiguration, and handover requests, depending on the resource status of the cell.
For details about CAC, see Call Admission Control Feature Parameter Description.
CLB
The function of CLB is to initiate the procedure of inter-frequency load balancing when a cell is not
congested, ensuring load balancing among cells. This function supports intra- and inter-RNC load
balancing. CLB may occur before LDR. That is, the RNC can perform inter-frequency load balancing
before a cell is congested.
LDB
The function of intra-frequency LDB is to balance the cell load between intra-frequency neighboring
cells to provide better resource usage. When the load of a cell increases, the cell reduces its coverage
to lighten its load. When the load of a cell decreases, the cell extends its coverage so that some traffic
is sent from its neighboring cells to it.
LDR
The function of LDR is to reduce the cell load when the cell enters the basic congestion state. The
purpose of LDR is to increase the access success rate by taking the following actions:
Load-based
BE
inter-frequency handover
service rate reduction
QoS
renegotiation for uncontrollable real-time services
Load-based
CS inter-RAT handover

OLC
The function of OLC is to reduce the cell load rapidly when the cell is overloaded. The purpose of OLC
is to ensure the system stability and the QoS of most UEs in the following ways:
Restricting
the Transport Format (TF) of the BE service
Switching
BE services to common channels
Adjusting
the maximum transmit power of FACHs
Releasing

2.3 Priorities Involved in Load Control

Different types of priorities are used in load control to preferentially ensure the QoS of the services or
users with high priorities.
The priorities involved in load control are user priority, integrated radio access bearer (RAB) priority, and
integrated user priority.
2.3.1 User Priority

User priorities are adopted to provide differentiated services for users. For ease of application, the RNC
maps the 15 levels of Allocation/Retention Priority (ARP) that is carried in the RAB ASSIGNMENT
REQUEST message from the core network (CN) onto three user priorities, that is, gold (high priority),
silver (medium priority), and bronze (low priority). The relationship between user priority and ARP can be
set by running the SET UUSERPRIORITY command; the typical relationship is provided in Table 2-2.

If ARP is not received in messages from the Iu interface, the user priority is regarded as copper.
2.3.2 Integrated RAB Priority

The priority of an RAB is determined by its traffic class, ARP, and carrier type. Such a priority is called
integrated RAB priority. When resources are insufficient, services with the highest integrated priority are
preferentially processed.
The values of integrated RAB priority are set according to the integrated priority configuration reference
parameter (PriorityReference):
If PriorityReference is set to Traffic Class, the integrated priority abides by the following rules:
Traffic
classes: conversational > streaming > interactive > background
Services
of the same traffic class: priority based on ARP, that is, ARP1 > ARP2 > ARP3 > ... >
ARP14 > ARP15
Service
of the same traffic class and ARP (only for interactive services): priority based on Traffic
Handling Priority (THP) that is carried in the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message, that is,
THP1 > THP2 > THP3 > ... > THP14 > THP15
Services
of the same traffic class, ARP and THP (only for interactive services): High Speed Packet
Access (HSPA) or Dedicated Channel (DCH) service preferred depending on CarrierTypePriorInd.
If PriorityReference is set to ARP, the integrated priority abides by the following rules:
ARP: ARP1
> ARP2 > ARP3 > ... > ARP14 > ARP15
Services
of the same ARP: priority based on traffic classes, that is, conversational > streaming >
interactive > background
Only
for the interactive service of the same ARP value: priority based on Traffic Handling Priority
(THP), that is, THP1 > THP2 > THP3 > ... > THP14 > THP15
Services
of the same ARP, traffic class and THP (only for interactive services): HSPA or DCH service
preferred depending on CarrierTypePriorInd.
2.3.3 Integrated User Priority

A user may have multiple RABs, and the RABs may have different priorities. In this case, the highest
priority is considered as the priority of this user. Such a priority is called integrated user priority.
Integrated user priority is used in user-specific load control. For example, the selection of R99 users
during preemption, the selection of users during load-based inter-frequency handover for LDR, and the
selection of users during switching of BE services to common channels are performed according to the
integrated user priority.

This chapter describes the WRFD-020102 Load Measurement feature.
The load control functions, such as OLC and CAC, use load measurement values in the uplink and the
downlink. A common Load Measurement (LDM) function is used to control load measurement in the
uplink and the downlink separately.
Load measurement is implemented by the NodeB. The filtering of measurement quantities is
implemented by the NodeB and the RNC.
3.1 Load-related Measurement Quantities

The major load-related measurement quantities are as follows:
Uplink Received Total Wideband Power (RTWP)

When
the feature WRFD-020137 Dual-Threshold Scheduling with HSUPA Interference Cancellation

is not enabled, the RNC uses the measured RTWP value.
When
the feature WRFD-020137 Dual-Threshold Scheduling with HSUPA Interference Cancellation

is enabled, the RNC uses the RTWP value after interference cancellation if UlIcLdcOptSwitch is set
to OFF; the RNC uses the larger one between the following if UlIcLdcOptSwitch is set to ON:
a. Measured RTWP value MaxDeltaOfTargetRoT
b. RTWP value after interference cancellation
For details about the feature WRFD-020137 Dual-Threshold Scheduling with HSUPA Interference
Cancellation, see HSUPA Feature Parameter Description.
OLC always uses the measured RTWP value no matter whether the RNC uses the measured RTWP value. For details
about OLC, see chapter 9 "Overload Control".
Downlink Transmitted Carrier Power (TCP)
Non-HSPA power: TCP excluding the power used for transmission on HSPA channels. For the detailed
information about HSPA channels, see HSDPA Feature Parameter Description and HSUPA Feature
Parameter Description.
The downlink power load state is as follows:

Light State (The downlink power load falls into the range of 0% to 30%)
Normal State (The downlink power load falls into the range of 30% to 50%)
Loaded State (The downlink power load falls into the range of 50% to 70%)
Heavy State (The downlink power load falls into the range of 70% to 95%)
Overload State (The downlink power load falls into the range of 95% to 100%)
These power load states are used to determine downlink cell load. Downlink load in an HSDPA cell is the proportion of
non-HSPA power consumption to the maximum transmit power of this cell (MaxTxPower). Downlink load in an R99 cell
is the proportion of TCP to the maximum transmit power of this cell.
Provided Bit Rate (PBR) on HS-DSCH. For details about PBR, see 3GPP 25.321.

HS-DSCH
PBR on E-DCH Light State, Normal State, Loaded State, Heavy State, Overload State
Received Scheduled E-DCH Power Share (RSEPS): power of the E-DCH scheduling service in the
serving cell
Uplink total load: sum of R99 service load, HSUPA service load, and control channel load. Measuring
the uplink total load depends on the NodeB hardware.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
3 Load Measurement
Uplink minimum guaranteed load: sum of R99 service load, HSUPA service load required by the
HSUPA GBR, and control channel load. Measuring the uplink minimum guaranteed load depends on
the NodeB hardware.
The HSUPA GBR is calculated as follows:
If
the function uplink enhanced L2 is disabled, GBR = max (bit rate of one RLC PDU, GBR).
If
the function uplink enhanced L2 is enabled, GBR = max (bit rate of the smallest RLC PDU, GBR).
The NodeB measures the major quantities related to load control. After layer 1 and layer 3 filtering, the
measurement values are reported to the RNC through the COMMON MEASUREMENT REPORT
message.
The RNC performs smooth filtering of the measurement values reported from the NodeB and then
obtains the measurement values, which further serve as data input for the load control algorithms.
The RNC calculates the actual uplink load based on the filtered RTWP, uplink total load, and uplink
minimum guaranteed load. The actual uplink load is one of the factors for the uplink load-related
algorithms.
When one base station uses multiple antennas, these antennas may cause interference to each other. If antenna
interference is imbalanced or if some antennas become invalid, the measured RTWP and uplink load may be inaccurate.
In this situation, the anti-imbalance of the different antenna algorithm can be used to correct the inaccurate measurement
results and reflect the actual cell load. In this way, system capacity and network coverage can be better balanced. This
algorithm helps address shrinking uplink coverage and reduced system capacity in multi-antenna scenarios.
Uplink load measurement involves the measurement of RSEPS, uplink total load, and uplink minimum guaranteed load.
The anti-imbalance of the different antenna algorithm is controlled by the ANTIANTENNAIMBALANCESW parameter on
the NodeB side.
Figure 3-1 shows the LDM procedure.

D is the reported measurement value.
Layer 1 filtering is not standardized by protocols and it depends on vendor equipment. Layer 3 filtering is
standardized. The filtering effect is controlled by a higher layer. The alpha filtering that applies to layer 3
filtering is calculated according to the following formula:
where
Fn is the new post-filtering measurement value.
Fn-1 is the last post-filtering measurement value.
Mn is the new measurement value from the physical layer.
= (1/2)k/2, k is the measure filter coefficient which is specified by the following parameters.
For
load control algorithms (excluding OLC), k is specified by the UlBasicCommMeasFilterCoeff or

DlBasicCommMeasFilterCoeff parameter.
For
OLC algorithm, k is specified by the UlOlcMeasFilterCoeff or DlOlcMeasFilterCoeff parameter.
3.3.2 Smooth Filtering on the RNC Side

After the RNC receives the measurement report, it filters the measurement value using the smooth
window method.
Assuming that the reported measurement value is Qn and that the length of the smooth window is N, the
filtered measurement value is
LDM must apply different smooth window length and measurement periods to PUC, CAC, LDR, and
OLC to obtain appropriate filtered values.
The following table lists the smooth window length parameters for setting different functions.

is specified by the HsdpaNeedPwrFilterLen parameter.
The length of the PBR smooth filter window is specified by the HsdpaPrvidBitRateFilterLen /
HsupaPrvidBitRateFilterLen parameter.
CLB measurements have the same smooth window length with LDR.
3.4 Auto-Adaptive Background Noise Update Algorithm

Uplink (UL) background noises are sensitive to environmental conditions, and the fluctuation of the
background noises has a negative impact on the RTWP measurement value. Therefore, the LDM
function includes an auto-adaptive update algorithm to restrict the background noise within a specified
range, as described here:
If the temperature in the equipment room is constant, the background noise changes slightly. In this
case, the background noise requires no adjustment after initial correction.
If the temperature in the equipment room varies with the ambient temperature, the background noise
changes greatly. In this case, the background noise requires auto-adaptive upgrade.
The following figure shows the flow chart of auto-adaptive background noise update, which is enabled by
the BGNSwitch parameter.
BGNSwitch is set to ON by default.

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
3 Load Measurement
The Alpha filter formula is: Fn = (1 - ) x Fn-1 + x Mn (n1). For details about this formula, see section 3.3.1 "Layer 3
Filtering on the NodeB Side."

Counting threshold = (Duration of background noise)/(RTWP reporting period). The duration of background noise is
used in auto-adaptive upgrade decision and is set by the BGNAdjustTimeLen parameter. For the setting of RTWP
reporting period, see section 3.2 "Reporting Period."
The procedure for auto-adaptive background noise update is as follows:

1. The RNC initializes the counter and filter that are used for auto-adaptive upgrade and sets the initial
value (F0) of the filter to BackgroundNoise.
2. The RNC receives the latest RTWP measurement value and uplink total load measurement value
from the physical layer.
3. The RNC checks whether the current time is within the effective period of the algorithm, that is,
whether the current time is later than BgnStartTime and earlier than BgnEndTime.
If the current time is within the effective period, then:
If
BGNOptSwitch is set to OFF, Mn = the latest RTWP measurement value. The procedure goes to 4
(a).
If
BGNOptSwitch is set to ON, Mn = the latest RTWP measurement value - uplink total load
measurement value. The procedure goes to 4 (b).
If the current time is not within the effective period, the RNC waits for the next RTWP measurement
value and uplink total load measurement value.
The uplink total load measurement depends on the NodeB hardware. For details, see section 3.1 "Load-related
Measurement Quantities" When the uplink total load measurement is invalid, background noise update is not performed.
The initial value of the filter is set to the current background noise.
4. The RNC do the following:

(a). The RNC determines whether the current Equivalent Number of Users (ENU) in the cell is greater
than the value of BGNEqUserNumThd:
If
the current ENU is greater than the value of BGNEqUserNumThd, the RNC infers that Mn includes
other noises in addition to the background noise, and therefore it does not feed Mn to the filter. In
addition, the RNC sets the counter to zero, retains the current background noise, and sets the initial
value of the filter to the current background noise. The background noise update procedure ends.
The RNC waits for the next RTWP measurement value and uplink total load measurement value.
If
the current ENU in the cell is smaller than or equal to the value of BGNEqUserNumThd, the RNC
feeds Mn to the filter and performs the next step.
(b). The RNC determines whether the uplink total load measurement value is greater than the value
of BGNULLoadThd:
If
the latest uplink total load measurement value is greater than the value of BGNULLoadThd, the
RNC sets the counter to zero, retains the current background noise, and sets the initial value of the
filter to the current background noise. The background noise update procedure ends. The RNC waits
for the next RTWP measurement value and uplink total load measurement value.
If
the latest uplink total load measurement value is smaller than or equal to the value of
BGNULLoadThd, the RNC feeds Mn to the filter and performs the next step.
5. The RNC checks whether |Mn - Fn-1| is smaller than the value of BgnAbnormalThd. If it is smaller
than this threshold value, the RNC increments the counter by one, calculates Fn according to the
Alpha filter formula, and performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC waits for the next RTWP
measurement value.
6. The RNC checks whether the counter reaches the counting threshold. If it reaches the counting
threshold, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC waits for the next RTWP
measurement value.

7. The RNC checks whether |Fn - BackgroundNoise| is smaller than the value of BgnAbnormalThd.
The purpose is to prevent burst interference and RTWP spike. If it is smaller than the value of
BgnAbnormalThd, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC sets the counter to zero
and waits for the next RTWP measurement value.
8. The RNC checks whether |Fn - current background noise| is greater than the value of
BgnUpdateThd. The purpose is to prevent frequent background noise upgrades on the Iub interface.
If it is greater than the value of BgnUpdateThd, the RNC sets the current background noise to Fn,
sets the counter to zero, and waits for the next RTWP measurement value. Otherwise, the RNC sets
the counter to zero and waits for the next RTWP measurement value.

4 Potential User Control

This chapter describes the WRFD-020105 Potential User Control feature.
The PUC function controls the cell selection and cell reselection of a UE that is in idle mode, in the
CELL_FACH state, CELL_PCH state, or URA_PCH state and prevents the UE from camping on a
heavily loaded cell.
The PUC is valid only for inter-frequency cells, and it takes effect only in the downlink.
Figure 4-1 shows the PUC procedure.
Figure 4-1 PUC procedure
The PUC function is enabled only when the PUC sub-parameter of the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter
is set to 1.
For a cell not supporting DC-HSDPA, the RNC periodically monitors the downlink load of the cell.
If the cell load is higher than the upper threshold (SpucHeavy) plus the load level division hysteresis
(SpucHyst), the cell load is considered heavy.
If the cell load is lower than the lower threshold (SpucLight) minus SpucHyst, the cell load is
considered light.
For a cell supporting DC-HSDPA, the RNC concurrently monitors the load state of each single cell and
load state of the cell group.
The checking of load state of a single cell is the same as that of a cell not supporting DC-HSDPA.
The checking of load state of the cell group is as follows:

If
the load of the two cells is higher than their upper thresholds (SpucHeavy) plus their load level
division hysteresis (SpucHyst), the load of the cell group is considered heavy.
If
the load of the two cells is lower than their lower thresholds (SpucLight) minus their load level
division hysteresis (SpucHyst), the load of the cell group is considered light.
The load state of a cell supporting DC-HSDPA is determined based on the following table.

The states of a cell load are heavy, normal, and light, as shown in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1 Cell load states
Based on the cell load, the PUC works as follows:
If the cell load becomes heavy, the PUC modifies cell selection and reselection parameters and
broadcasts them through system information. In this way, the PUC leads UEs to the lightly loaded
neighboring cells.
If the cell load becomes normal, the PUC uses the cell selection and reselection parameters
configured on the RNC LMT.
If the cell load becomes light, the PUC modifies cell selection and reselection parameters and
broadcasts them through system information. In this way, the PUC leads UEs to this cell.
The variables related to cell selection and reselection are Qoffset1(s,n) (load level offset), Qoffset2(s,n)
(load level offset), and Sintersearch (start threshold for inter-frequency cell reselection). The following
table describes PUC-related variables and their impacts on UEs.

Implementation
The NodeB periodically reports the transmit power of the cell, and the PUC
periodically triggers the following activities:
Adjustment
Assessing the cell load level based on the non-HSPA power and HS-DSCH GBP
Setting Sintersearch, Qoffset1(s,n), and Qoffset2(s,n) based on the cell load level
Updating the parameters in system information SIB3 and SIB11
Based on the characteristics of inter-frequency cell selection and reselection, the UE

makes the corresponding adjustments:
Sintersearch
When
this value is increased by the serving cell, the UE starts inter-frequency

cell reselection ahead of schedule.
When
this value is decreased by the serving cell, the UE delays inter-frequency

cell reselection.
Qoffset1(s,n): applies to R (reselection) rule with CPICH RSCP

When
this value is increased by the serving cell, the UE has a lower probability
of selecting a neighboring cell.
When
this value is decreased by the serving cell, the UE has a higher probability
Qoffset2(s,n): applies to R (reselection) rule with CPICH Ec/Io

When
this value is increased by the serving cell, the UE has a lower probability
When
this value is decreased by the serving cell, the UE has a higher probability
Depending on the load status of the serving cell, the cell reselection variable Sintersearch is adjusted up
or down or kept unchanged. Changes to the variable Sintersearch are made as shown in Table 4-3.

5 Intelligent Access Control

5.1 Overview of Intelligent Access Control
IAC is used to increase the access success rate, that is, RRC connection success rate and RAB setup
success rate.
There are two types of IAC, namely, IAC for RRC connection processing and IAC for RAB connection
processing.
IAC for RRC connection processing is used to select a suitable cell for a UE to access through
redirection and RRC DRD. It also implements load balancing and service steering.
IAC for RAB connection processing is used to select a suitable cell for a UE to access through DRD
and CAC. It also implements load balancing and service steering. Features such as preemption,
queuing, and low-rate access are used to further improve the RAB setup success rate.
In addition, IAC provides differentiated services for users with different priorities. For example, when the
system resources are insufficient, procedures such as direct admission, preemption, and redirection can
be performed to ensure the successful access of emergency calls to the network.
Figure 5-1 shows a typical procedure for service access control.
Figure 5-1 Service access control procedure
Draft A (2013-01-30)

5-1
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
As shown in Figure 5-1, the procedure for service access includes the procedures for RRC connection
setup and RAB setup. The successful setup of the RRC connection is one of the prerequisites for the
RAB setup.
During the RRC connection processing, the RNC performs the following steps.
1. RRC redirection based on distance (only for UE-originating AMR services). For details, see section
5.2.3 "Inter-RAT RRC Redirection Based on Distance". If the RNC decides to obtain UE access from
another cell, it sends an RRC connection reject message to the UE; otherwise, the RNC performs the
next step.
2. RRC redirection for service steering. For details, see section 5.2.4 "RRC Redirection for Service
Steering."
If
the RNC decides to obtain UE access from the current cell, it then makes a resource-based
admission decision. If the resource-based admission fails, the RNC performs DRD and redirection.
If
the RNC decides to obtain UE access from another cell, it then sends an RRC connection reject
message to the UE. The message carries the information about the cell and instructs the UE to set up
an RRC connection to the cell.
For details, see section 5.2 "IAC During RRC Connection Setup."
During the RAB connection processing, the RNC performs the following steps:
3. Performs inter-frequency DRD to select a suitable cell for service steering or load balancing. For
details about DRD, see Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
4. Performs rate negotiation according to the service requested by the UE. For details, see section 5.4
"Rate Negotiation at Admission Control."
5. Makes cell resource-based admission decision. If the admission is successful, UE access is granted.
Otherwise, the RNC performs the next step. For details about admission decision, see Call
Admission Control Feature Parameter Description.
6. Selects a suitable cell, according to the inter-frequency DRD, from the cells where no admission
attempt has been made, and then performs step 7. If all the attempts fail, the RNC performs the next
step.
7. Selects a suitable cell according to the inter-RAT DRD. If the inter-RAT admission is successful, UE
access is granted in the inter-RAT cell. If the inter-RAT DRD fails or is not supported, the RNC
performs the next step.
8. Makes a preemption attempt. For details about preemption, see section 5.6 "Preemption." If the
preemption is successful, UE access is granted. If the preemption fails or is not supported, the RNC
9. Makes a queuing attempt. For details about queuing, see section 5.7 "Queuing."
10. ." If the queuing is successful, UE access is granted. If the queuing fails or is not supported, the RNC
11. Performs low-rate access. For details about low-rate access, see section 5.8 "Low-Rate Access of
the PS BE Service." If the low-rate access is admitted, UE access is granted. If the low-rate access is
unsuccessful, the RNC performs the next step.
12. Rejects UE access.
After the admission attempts of an HSPA service request fail in all candidate cells, the service falls back to the DCH. Then,
the service reattempts to access the network.

5.2 IAC During RRC Connection Setup

5.2.1 Procedure of IAC During RRC Connection Setup
Before a new service is admitted to the network, an RRC connection must be set up.
As shown in Figure 5-2, when the switch DrSwitch: DR_RRC_DRD_SWITCH is set to ON, the RRC
connection setup procedure is performed as follows:
Inter-RAT RRC redirection based on weak coverage is controlled by the switch PerfEnhanceSwitch:
PERFENH_RRC_WEAK_REDIR_SWITCH, not by the switch DrSwitch: DR_RRC_DRD_SWITCH.

Load Control

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
After receiving an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message from the UE, the RNC performs inter-RAT
RRC redirection based on weak coverage when PERFENH_RRC_WEAK_REDIR_SWITCH under the
PerfEnhanceSwitch parameter is selected. If this check box is not selected, the RNC performs the RRC
redirection based on distance (only for UE-originating AMR services). For details, see section 5.2.3
"RRC Redirection based on Distance". If the RNC decides to obtain UE access from another cell, it
sends an RRC connection reject message to the UE; otherwise, the RNC performs the next step.
Then, the RNC uses the RRC redirection algorithm for service steering and Macro & Micro Joint
Inter-Frequency Redirection to decide whether the UE can access the network from the current cell:
If the UE can access the network from the current cell according to the decision result, the RNC uses
the CAC algorithm to decide whether an RRC connection can be set up between the UE and the
current cell.
If
the RRC connection can be set up between the UE and the current cell, the RNC sends an RRC
CONNECTION SETUP message to the UE.
If
the RRC connection cannot be set up between the UE and the current cell, the RNC attempts to
select a cell for RRC connection setup through RRC DRD. If the RRC DRD fails, RRC redirection will
be performed.
If the UE needs to access the network from another cell according to the decision result, the RNC
sends an RRC CONNECTION REJECT message to the UE. The message carries the information
about this cell.
DrSwitch: DR_RRC_DRD_SWITCH is the general switch of the following six algorithms:
Inter-RAT RRC Redirection Based on Distance
Inter-Frequency RRC Redirection Based on Distance
RRC Redirection for Service Steering
Macro & Micro Joint Inter-frequency Redirection
RRC DRD
RRC Redirection After DRD Failure
Before enabling the six algorithms, turn on the DrSwitch: DR_RRC_DRD_SWITCH.
For details about the Macro & Micro Joint Inter-Frequency Redirection feature, see HetNet Co-Carrier Coordination Phase
1Feature Parameter Description.
5.2.2 Inter-RAT RRC Redirection Based on Weak Coverage

In weak-coverage areas, the UE access success rate is low and the call drop possibility is high. In areas
where the GSM coverage is better than the UMTS coverage, using inter-RAT RRC redirection based on
weak coverage can redirect UEs from the UMTS to the GSM network to improve the UE access success
rate and reduce the call drop rate.
Inter-RAT RRC redirection based on weak coverage is recommended when there is only a small
proportion of UEs that do not support inter-RAT redirections. The parameter PerfEnhanceSwitch:
PERFENH_RRC_WEAK_REDIR_SWITCH specifies whether to enable inter-RAT RRC redirection
based on weak coverage.
The procedure for inter-RAT RRC redirection based on weak coverage is as follows:
1. Upon receiving an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message from the UE, the RNC checks the
setting of PerfEnhanceSwitch: PERFENH_RRC_WEAK_REDIR_SWITCH.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

5-5
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
If
PERFENH_RRC_WEAK_REDIR_SWITCH under the PerfEnhanceSwitch parameter is not

selected, the RNC does not perform inter-RAT RRC redirection based on weak coverage. The RRC
connection setup request is then processed in the current cell.
If
PERFENH_RRC_WEAK_REDIR_SWITCH under the PerfEnhanceSwitch parameter is selected,

the procedure goes to the next step.
2. The RNC obtains the Ec/N0 value of the current cell from the RACH Measurement Report IE in the
RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message.
If
the Ec/N0 value is greater than or equal to the value of WeakCovRrcRedirEcNoThs, the RNC
does not perform inter-RAT RRC redirection based on weak coverage. The RRC connection setup
request is then processed in the current cell.
If
the Ec/N0 value is smaller than the value of WeakCovRrcRedirEcNoThs, the procedure goes to
the next step.
3. The RNC sends the UE an RRC CONNECTION REJECT message containing information on the
neighboring GSM cells of the current cell.
If the current cell does not have any neighboring GSM cell or the IE "RACH Measurement Report" does not contain the
Ec/N0 value, inter-RAT RRC redirection based on weak coverage is not performed.

This section describes the WRFD-020401 Inter-RAT Redirection Based on Distance feature.
In actual situations, a UE may receive signals from a distant cell and subsequently access the cell.
However, the cells that are adjacent to this cell are not configured as its neighboring cells. If the UE
moves out of this cell, call drops may occur. To solve this problem, RRC Inter-RAT redirection based on
distance is introduced.
The RRC Inter-RAT redirection based on distance technique estimates the distance between the UE and
the cell center by considering the propagation delay. Based on the estimation result, the RNC checks
whether to perform RRC Inter-RAT redirection. The propagation delay is the one-way propagation delay
of the radio signal from the UE to the NodeB. The NodeB measures the propagation delay and then
reports it to the RNC. The propagation delay is directly proportional to the distance between the UE and
the NodeB.
The switch of RRC Inter-RAT redirection based on distance can be set through the RedirSwitch
parameter. RRC Inter-RAT redirection based on distance is applicable only to the UE-originating AMR
services.
The procedure for RRC Inter-RAT redirection based on distance is as follows:
1. Upon receiving an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message from the UE, the RNC checks whether
the requested service is the UE-originating AMR service. If yes, the RNC performs the next step.
Otherwise, the RNC does not perform RRC Inter-RAT redirection based on distance, and handles the
RRC connection setup request of the UE in the current cell.
2. The RNC obtains the propagation delay from the NodeB and compares it with DelayThs.
If
the propagation delay is greater than DelayThs, the RNC performs the next step.
If
the propagation delay is equal to or less than DelayThs, the RNC does not perform RRC Inter-RAT
redirection based on distance, and handles the RRC connection setup request of the UE in the
current cell.
3. The RNC checks the load status of the current cell and checks whether to perform RRC Inter-RAT
redirection based on distance by considering the load status.

If
the cell is in the normal state, the RNC generates a random value ranging from 0 to 1 and
compares the value with the RedirFactorOfNorm parameter. If the random value is equal to or
smaller than the parameter, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC does not perform
RRC Inter-RAT redirection based on distance, and handles the RRC connection setup request of the
UE in the current cell.
If
the cell is in the basic congestion state or is overloaded, the RNC generates a random value
ranging from 0 to 1 and compares the value with the RedirFactorOfLDR parameter. If the random
value is equal to or smaller than the parameter, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC
does not perform RRC Inter-RAT redirection based on distance, and handles the RRC connection
setup request of the UE in the current cell.
4. The RNC sends the UE an RRC CONNECTION REJECT message containing information on the
neighboring GSM cells of the current cell.
If the current cell does not have any neighboring GSM cell, the UE spontaneously selects a proper cell to access.
Inter-Frequency RRC Redirection Based on Distance

This section describes the WRFD-02040005 Inter-Frequency Redirection Based on Distance feature.
Excessive cell coverage may occur in UMTS networks. This is especially the case in cells operating in
UMTS 900 MHz, because such cells have strong coverage abilities. If a UE moves out of a UMTS cell
with excessive coverage during cell access and no neighboring GSM cells are configured for this cell,
the RRC setup for the UE fails. Inter-frequency RRC redirection based on distance, which is designed to
address excessive coverage issues, can solve this problem. Inter-frequency RRC redirection based on
distance applies only to UE-originating services.
Upon receiving an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message from the UE, the RNC obtains the
propagation delay of the UE and compares it with the propagation delay threshold for inter-frequency
RRC redirections. When inter-frequency RRC redirection based on distance is enabled and the
propagation delay of the UE is greater than the threshold, the RNC considers that the UE is in a cell with
excessive coverage, and it triggers inter-frequency RRC redirection based on distance. The
InterFreqRedirSwitch parameter specifies whether inter-frequency RRC redirection based on distance
is enabled.
Figure 5-3 shows the procedure for inter-frequency RRC redirection based on distance.

Figure 5-3 Procedure for inter-frequency RRC redirection based on distance
The procedure for inter-frequency RRC redirection based on distance is as follows:

1. Upon receiving an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message from the UE, the RNC checks whether
InterFreqRedirSwitch is set to ON.
If InterFreqRedirSwitch is set to OFF, the RNC does not perform inter-frequency RRC redirection
based on distance. The RRC connection setup request is then processed in the current cell.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

5-8
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
If InterFreqRedirSwitch is set to ON, the procedure goes to the next step.
2. The RNC obtains the propagation delay of the UE from the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST
message and compares it with the propagation delay limit for inter-frequency RRC redirections. The
propagation delay threshold is specified by the InterFreqRedirDelayThd parameter.
If the propagation delay of the UE is smaller than or equal to InterFreqRedirDelayThd, the RNC does
not perform inter-frequency RRC redirection based on distance. The RRC connection setup request is
then processed in the current cell.
If the propagation delay of the UE is greater than InterFreqRedirDelayThd, the procedure goes to the
next step.
3. The RNC checks the load status of the current cell.
If the current cell is experiencing LDR (that is, the cell is in the basic congestion state in the uplink or
downlink), the RNC generates a random number between 0 and 1 and compares it with the
inter-frequency redirection factor for LDR (specified by InterFreqRedirFactorOfLDR).
If
the random number is smaller than or equal to InterFreqRedirFactorOfLDR, the procedure goes
to the next step.
If
the random number is greater than InterFreqRedirFactorOfLDR, the RNC does not perform
inter-frequency RRC redirection based on distance. The RRC connection setup request is then
processed in the current cell.
If the current cell is not experiencing LDR, the RNC generates a random number between 0 and 1 and
compares it with the inter-frequency redirection factor for the normal state (specified by
InterFreqRedirFactorOfNorm).
If
the random number is smaller than or equal to InterFreqRedirFactorOfNorm, the procedure goes
to the next step.
If
the random number is greater than InterFreqRedirFactorOfNorm, the RNC does not perform
inter-frequency RRC redirection based on distance. The RRC connection setup request is then
processed in the current cell.
4. The RNC sends the UE an RRC CONNECTION REJECT message that contains the target
frequency number for redirection.
The RedirUARFCNUplinkInd parameter specifies whether to manually configure the uplink target
frequency number for redirection.
If
RedirUARFCNUplinkInd is set to TRUE, the uplink target frequency number is set by the
RedirUARFCNUplink parameter.
If
RedirUARFCNUplinkInd is set to FALSE, the uplink target frequency number is automatically

configured according to the binding relationship between uplink and downlink frequency numbers.
The downlink target frequency number is specified by the RedirUARFCNDownlink parameter.

The RedirBandInd parameter determines the validity of the uplink and downlink target frequency
numbers. If the target frequency numbers are out of the range of the bands specified by
RedirBandInd, a prompt displays to inform users. If RedirBandInd is set to DependOnNCell, the
target cell must be under the same RNC as the current cell and these two cells must be on the same
band.
5. After inter-frequency RRC redirection based on distance is complete, the RNC prevents ping-pong
redirections regardless of whether the redirection is successful.
If PERFENH_RRC_REDIR_PROTECT_SWITCH under the PerfEnhanceSwitch parameter in the

SET UCORRMPARA command is selected, the RNC prevents ping-pong redirections based on
service, Iur-g load, and distance. If a UE that has been redirected to another cell attempts to access
the original cell, it is directly admitted.
If PERFENH_RRC_REDIR_PROTECT_SWITCH under the PerfEnhanceSwitch parameter in the

SET UCORRMPARA command is not selected, the RNC does not prevent ping-pong redirections.

5.2.4 RRC Redirection for Service Steering

Overview
This section describes the WRFD-020120 Service Steering and Load Sharing in RRC Connection Setup
feature.
The RRC redirection for service steering is used to enable the successful RRC connection setup by
selecting an appropriate cell for the UE based on the requested service. This algorithm is not applicable
to combined services.
During the RRC connection setup, the RNC implements service steering between inter-frequency or
inter-RAT cells according to the service type requested by the UE. In addition, the RNC considers the
load of the cell for access and the redirection factors to control the degree of load sharing. Therefore,
this function is also called service steering and load sharing in RRC connection setup.
Procedure of RRC Redirection for Service Steering

The procedure for RRC redirection for service steering is as follows:
1. The RNC obtains the information about the service requested by the UE and the capability of the UE.
If
the DR_RRC_DRD_SWITCH of the parameter DrSwitch is set to 1, the RNC determines the
service type requested by the UE. If the RNC succeeds in determining the service type requested by
the UE and the switch of RRC direction for service steering (RedirSwitch) is set to
ONLY_TO_INTER_FREQUENCY or ONLY_TO_INTER_RAT, the RNC performs the next step.
Otherwise, the RNC handles the RRC connection setup request of the UE in the current cell.
If
the DR_ RRC_DRD_SWITCH of the parameter DrSwitch is set to 0, the RNC handles the RRC
connection setup request of the UE in the current cell.
2. Based on the setting of RedirSwitch and SCellLoadBsdRedirSwitch, the RNC takes the
corresponding actions:
If
RedirSwitch is set to ONLY_TO_INTER_FREQUENCY and SCellLoadBsdRedirSwitch is set to

ON,
a. If the uplink power load of the cell is lower than the value of UlLdrTrigThd multiplied by
OffloadRelativeThd and the downlink power load is lower than the value of DlLdrTrigThd
multiplied by OffloadRelativeThd, the RNC handles the RRC connection setup request of the
UE in the current cell.
b. If the preceding conditions are not met, the RNC performs the next step.
If
RedirSwitch is set to ONLY_TO_INTER_FREQUENCY and SCellLoadBsdRedirSwitch is set to

OFF, the RNC performs the next step.
The frequency information carried in the message can be set by running the SET UREDIRECTION command.
SCellLoadBsdRedirSwitch is effective when RedirSwitch is set to ONLY_TO_INTER_FREQUENCY.
The calculation method for the uplink/downlink power load of a cell is the same as that for the power load in the load
reshuffling algorithm.
If
RedirSwitch is set to ONLY_TO_INTER_RAT, the RNC performs the next step.
3. Based on the cell load and the redirection factors, the RNC decides whether to perform RRC
redirection for service steering.
If
the cell is in the normal state, the RNC generates a random number between 0 and 1 and
compares it with the corresponding unconditional redirection factor (RedirFactorOfNorm). If the
random number is smaller than this factor, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC
handles the RRC connection setup request of the UE in the current cell.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

5-10
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
If
the cell is in the basic congestion or overload state, the RNC generates a random number between
0 and 1 and compares it with the value of RedirFactorOfLDR. If the random number is smaller than
this factor, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC handles the RRC connection setup
request of the UE in the current cell.
4. When RedirBandInd is set to a value ranging from Band1 to Band9, the RNC takes the following
actions:
If
the measured CPICH Ec/N0 is contained in the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message and the
value of CPICH Ec/N0 is larger than or equal to the value for RedirEcN0Thd, the RNC proceeds with
the next step. If the value of CPICH Ec/N0 is smaller than the value for RedirEcN0Thd, the RNC
processes the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message in the current cell.
If
the measured CPICH Ec/N0 is not contained in the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message, the
RNC proceeds with the next step.
When RedirSwitch is set to ONLY_TO_INTER_FREQUENCY and RedirBandInd is set to
DependOnNCell, the target cell must be an intra-band inter-frequency cell under the same RNC with
the current cell and BlindHoFlag for the target cell is set to TRUE.
If
a cell in the inter-frequency neighboring cell list meets the preceding requirements, the RNC
determines whether this neighboring cell is in the OLC state.
a. If this neighboring cell is in the OLC state, it cannot be the target cell of the UE. If all the
neighboring cells are in the OLC state, the RNC processes the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST
message in the current cell.
b. If this neighboring cell is not in the OLC state, the RNC proceeds with the next step.
If
all the cells in the inter-frequency neighboring cell list do not meet the preceding requirements, the
RNC processes the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message in the current cell.
If parameter settings do not meet the requirements in this step, the RNC skips this step and proceeds with the next step.
5. The RNC performs RRC redirection.

If
RedirSwitch is set to ONLY_TO_INTER_FREQUENCY, the RNC sends an RRC CONNECTION

REJECT message to the UE, redirecting the UE to the target frequency carried in the message.
If
RedirSwitch is set to ONLY_TO_INTER_RAT, the RNC sends an RRC CONNECTION REJECT

message to the UE, redirecting the UE to inter-RAT neighboring cells carried in the message.
Service Identification Rule

The RNC identifies requested services according to the relevant information elements (IEs) in the RRC
Connection Request message received from the UE. The identification is successful only when all the
conditions described in Table 5-2 are met. Otherwise, the identification fails.
TerminTrfcBsdRedirSwitch specifies whether to identify terminated services.

If TerminTrfcBsdRedirSwitch is set to ON, the RNC identifies both originated services and terminated services.
If TerminTrfcBsdRedirSwitch is set to OFF, the RNC identifies only originated services.

PS R99 and PS HSPA services for UEs of the REL-5 version cannot be identified by the RNC because these UEs do not

UEs of REL-5 and earlier versions do not carry the Domain indicator, Call type, or UE capability indication IEs.
Therefore, the RNC cannot differentiate between AMR services and VP services. The RNC implements VP service
redirection the same way it implements AMR service redirection.
5.2.5 RRC DRD

If the UE fails to access the current cell, the RNC performs RRC DRD. The purpose is to instruct the UE
to set up an RRC connection in an inter-frequency neighboring cell with better signal quality.
For details about RRC DRD, see Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
5.2.6 RRC Redirection After DRD Failure

This section describes the WRFD-02040003 Inter System Redirect feature.
The purpose of RRC redirection after DRD failure is to instruct the UE to set up RRC connection in an
inter-frequency or an inter-RAT cell.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

5-12
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
When the RRC DRD fails, the RNC performs RRC redirection as follows:
The RNC selects another frequency for redirection based on the setting of the ReDirBandInd parameter.
If the ReDirBandInd parameter is set to a specific band, the RNC selects the configured target
frequency number and redirects the UE. The target frequency number is configured by the following
parameters: ReDirUARFCNUplinkInd, ReDirUARFCNUplink, ReDirUARFCNDownlink.
If the ReDirBandInd parameter is set to DependOnNCell, the RNC selects the target frequency number
from the target frequency numbers corresponding to the intra-band inter-frequency neighboring cells of
the current cell. In addition, the RNC excludes the target frequency numbers corresponding to the cells
that have carried out inter-frequency RRC DRD attempts.
If more than one target frequency number is available, the RNC selects a target frequency number
randomly. Then, the RNC sends an RRC CONNECTION REJECT message to the UE, redirecting the
UE to the selected target frequency carried in the message.
If no target frequency number is available, the RNC continues to perform RRC redirection according to
the setting of the ConnectFailRrcRedirSwitch parameter.
If
ConnectFailRrcRedirSwitch is set to Only_To_Inter_Frequency, the RRC connection setup fails.
If
ConnectFailRrcRedirSwitch is set to Allowed_To_Inter_RAT and there is a neighboring GSM cell,

the RNC sends the information about the neighboring GSM cell to the UE and redirects the UE to
GSM system. If ConnectFailRrcRedirSwitch is set to Allowed_To_Inter_RAT but there is no
neighboring GSM cell, the UE automatically searches for GSM cells and then selects one of them for
RRC connection setup attempts.
5.2.7 FACH Power Control of RRC phase

During the RRC connection setup procedure, coverage in the live network may be imbalanced and UEs
in weak coverage areas cannot correctly parse messages from the network. This leads to RRC
connection setup failures. To address this problem, the FACH power control of RRC phase function is
introduced to increase the downlink transmit power of the FACH so that UEs can parse messages more
accurately.
When a UE attempts to access a cell, the RNC checks the cause value and the Ec/N0 value contained in
the RRC CONNETCTION REQUEST message. The RRC connection setup cause is specified by the
RrcCause parameter. The RNC then compares the Ec/N0 value with the value for
FACHPower4RRCRepEcNoThd corresponding to the RrcCause parameter.
If the value of Ec/N0 is smaller than the value for FACHPower4RRCRepEcNoThd, the FACH power
control of RRC phase function is triggered. This function increases the FACH transmit power as follows:
If the T381 timer expires, the RNC increases the downlink transmit power of the FACH when
resending the RRC CONNECTION SETUP message to the UE. The times for resending this message
are determined by the N381 timer.
If the T300 timer expires, after the UE resends an RRC CONNETCTION REQUEST message, the
RNC increases the downlink transmit power of the FACH when sending the RRC CONNECTION
SETUP message. The times for resending this message are determined by the N300 timer.
The FACH downlink transmit power is specified by the MaxFachPower parameter. If the FACH downlink
transmit power exceeds the OLC threshold (DlOlcTrigThd), the RNC will not adjust the FACH downlink
transmit power.
The FACH is a common channel. When the FACH power control of RRC phase function is enabled, the
FACH downlink transmit power for UEs with no power increase requirements is the difference between
the MaxFachPower and OffsetFACHPower parameters.

5.3 Directed Retry Decision

Traffic steering and load sharing during RAB setup will be performed through DRD.
During the RAB connection processing, non-periodic DRD is used to select a suitable cell for a UE to
access according to the HSPA+ technological satisfaction, service priority, and cell load. Non-periodic
DRD is performed during RAB setup, RAB modification, or DCCC channel reconfiguration.
Non-periodic DRD involves inter-frequency DRD and inter-RAT DRD.
By using inter-frequency DRD, the RNC selects the qualified candidate cells by considering HSPA+
technological satisfaction, cell service priority, and cell load. Then, the RNC sequences the candidate
cells according to the priority. The UE tries accessing the cells in order of priority from higher to lower,
until it is admitted or it fails to access any cell.
If the UE fails to access any cell in the case of inter-frequency DRD, inter-RAT DRD will be triggered.
For details about non-periodic DRD, see Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
5.4 Rate Negotiation at Admission Control

Rate negotiation at admission control (WRFD-010507 Rate Negotiation at Admission Control) includes
MBR negotiation, GBR negotiation, initial rate negotiation, and target rate negotiation.
For a streaming service, the RNC performs resource admission based on the negotiated MBR.
For a new PS BE service, the RNC performs resource admission based on the negotiated initial rate.
For AMR and AMR-WB speech services in the CS domain, see AMR Feature Parameter Description.
5.4.1 PS MBR Negotiation

If the IE "Alternative RAB Parameter Values" is present in the RANAP RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST or
the RELOCATION REQUEST message when a PS service is set up, reconfigured, or handed over, then
the RNC and the CN negotiate the rate according to the UE capability to obtain the MBR while ensuring
a proper QoS.
For the PS streaming service, when the PS_STREAM_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH sub-parameter of the

PsSwitch parameter is set to 1, the Iu QoS negotiation function is enabled for MBR negotiation.
For the PS BE service:

When
both the PS_BE_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH and PS_BE_STRICT_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH

sub-parameters of the PsSwitch parameter are set to 1, the Iu QoS negotiation function is enabled,
and the RNC determines the MBR of Iu QoS negotiation based on the information about UE
capability, cell capability and rate requested by the CN.
When
PS_BE_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH is set to 1 and PS_BE_STRICT_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH is

set to 0, the Iu QoS negotiation function is enabled, and the RNC determines the MBR of Iu QoS
negotiation based on the maximum rate supported by the UE rather than the cell capability and other
settings.
5.4.2 PS GBR Negotiation

During the setup, reconfiguration, or handover of a PS real-time service, if the
PS_STREAM_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH sub-parameter of the PsSwitch parameter is set to 1, the RNC
will negotiate with the CN about the GBR as follows:
If the IE "Type of Alternative Guaranteed Bit Rate Information" in the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST
message is set to "unspecified", the GBR negotiation will not be performed. In such a case, the GBR

addition, the subsequent RAB ASSIGNMENT RESPONSE message does not contain the GBR.
message is set to "value range", the sole GBR contained in the IE "Alternative Guaranteed Bit Rates"
is used. In addition, the subsequent RAB ASSIGNMENT RESPONSE message contains the GBR.
message is set to "Discrete values", the largest GBR contained in the IE "Alternative Guaranteed Bit
Rates" is used. In addition, the subsequent RAB ASSIGNMENT RESPONSE message contains the
GBR.
If the PS_STREAM_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH sub-parameter of the PsSwitch parameter is set to 0, the

GBR negotiation will be not performed. In such a case, the GBR contained in the IE "RAB Parameters"
of the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message is used.
For details about GBR negotiation, see 3GPP 25.413.
5.4.3 Initial Rate Negotiation

Overview
Initial rate is classified into initial admission rate and initial access rate.
Initial admission rate: The RNC allocates bandwidths based on the initial admission rate and then
performs cell-resource-based admission based on the allocated bandwidths.
Initial access rate: Initial configured rate after service admission is successful, which means the
current maximum data transmission rate before any other reconfiguration.
For PS BE services, the RNC performs initial rate negotiation when a new service is being set up or the
UE is changing from the CELL_FACH state to the CELL_DCH state. The initial rate negotiation policy
varies, depending on the services carried on different channels.
Initial Rate Definition for DCH Services

For DCH services, the initial admission rate and the initial access rate are the same.
Initial rate is negotiated according to Table 5-3.

In the uplink, the initial rate is the smaller one of the MBR

request, it starts the timer EcN0EffectTime.
Before the timer expires, the RNC dynamically sets the
initial rate based on the Ec/N0. The value of Ec/N0
comes from the latest RACH measurement report or
latest intra-frequency measurement report.

Note that if the UE is in the soft handover state, the
RNC sets the actual initial rate to the smaller one of the
MBR and 384 kbit/s when any of the cells in the active
set meets the threshold.
ON
If the cell Ec/N0 is below or equal to the Ec/N0

threshold (EcN0Ths) or the RRC CONNECTION
REQUEST message does not carry the information
about Ec/N0, the RNC sets the actual initial rate to the
smaller one of the MBR and the initial rate of the
downlink BE service (DlBeTraffInitBitrate).
In the uplink, the initial rate is the smaller one of the MBR
and the initial rate of the uplink BE service
(UlBeTraffInitBitrate).

In the downlink, the initial rate is the smaller one of the

MBR and the initial rate of the downlink BE service

If the DCCC function is enabled and the PS_RAB_Downsizing_Switch sub-parameter of the PsSwitch parameter is set
to 1, the RNC can decrease the rate through the RAB rate decrease function when the admission based on the initial rate
fails.
The PS BE service mentioned in this section can be the single PS BE service or the PS BE service in combined services.
Initial Rate Definition for HSPA Services

For the HSUPA service,
The initial admission rate is GBR.
The initial access rate is defined as follows:

If
the DRA_HSUPA_DCCC_SWITCH sub-parameter of the DraSwitch parameter is set to 1, the

initial access rate is the initial rate of the HSUPA BE service (HsupaInitialRate).
If
the DRA_HSUPA_DCCC_SWITCH sub-parameter of the DraSwitch parameter is set to 0, the

initial access rate is the MBR for there will not be any rate upsizing reconfiguration when the
DRA_HSUPA_DCCC_SWITCH sub-parameter of the DraSwitch parameter is set to 0.
For the HSDPA service, the initial admission rate and the initial access are both GBR.
Initial Rate Negotiation for the PS BE Service in CS+PS Combined Services

The PS BE service in CS+PS combined services has low data transmission requirements. In most cases,
the PS BE service does not need to transmit data when the UE is performing CS services. If the PS BE
service in CS+PS combined services has high data transmission requirements, the transmission rate of
the PS BE service increases or the PS BE service is switched to an HSDPA channel. As a result, the
Draft A (2013-01-30)

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
signaling load increases, and the CS call drop rate may also increase. The initial rate negotiation
function is recommended when most PS BE services in CS+PS combined services have low data
transmission requirements.
The BeInitBitrateTypeforCsPs parameter specifies the bearing policy for the PS BE service and the
initial rate for the PS BE service when the UE is in the CELL_DCH state or transitions to this state.
BeInitBitrateTypeforCsPs applies only to the PS BE service in CS+PS combined services in the
following scenarios:
Scenario 1: The UE is in the CELL_DCH state and is processing CS services or CS+PS combined
services (any PS service). Then, the UE initiates PS BE services.
Scenario 2: The UE is in the CELL_DCH state and is processing PS BE services. Then, the UE
initiates CS services.
Scenario 3: The UE is in the CELL_FACH state and is processing PS BE services. Then, the UE
initiates CS services. (The UE must transition to the CELL_DCH state before establishing CS
services.)
Scenario 4: The UE is in the CELL_PCH state and is processing PS BE services. Then, the UE
initiates CS services. (The UE must transition to the CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH state before
establishing CS services.)
This section describes the initial rate negotiation function only for the PS BE service in CS+PS combined services in the
preceding scenarios. For details about the initial rate negotiation function for the PS BE service in other scenarios, see

5.4.4 Target Rate Negotiation

For a BE service in the PS domain, if the cell resource-based admission at the initial rate fails, the RNC
selects a target rate to allocate bandwidth for the service based on cell resources in following cases:
Service setup
Soft handover
DCCC rate upsizing
If the cell has sufficient code and CE resource, the RNC sets the candidate target rate to the one that
matches the cell resource surplus. Then, the RNC sets the target rate to the greater one of the candidate
target rate and the GBR.
In the case of DCCC rate upsizing, if the rate upsizing fails, the target rate is the greater one of the
candidate target rate and the pre-upsizing DCCC rate.
5.5 Admission Decision

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 determines whether the request
can be accepted by measuring the cell load and the requested resource.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

5-20
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
The CAC performs the admission decision based on resources such as code resource, power resource,
NodeB credit, and Iub resource. In the case of HSPA resource request, the admission decision is also
based on the number of HSPA users. The admission succeeds only when the resource on which CAC is
based is available.
For details about CAC, see Call Admission Control Feature Parameter Description.
5.6 Preemption
Common Preemption
This section describes the preemption algorithm in the WRFD-010505 Queuing and Pre-Emption
feature.
By forcibly releasing the resources of lower-priority users, the preemption (pre-emption) function
increases the access success rate of higher-priority users.
After cell/cell group resource-based admission fails, the RNC performs preemption if the following
conditions are met:
The RNC receives an RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message indicating that preemption is
supported.
In the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message sent by the CN, the Pre-emption Capability IE specifies whether a service
can trigger preemption and the Pre-emption Vulnerability IE specifies whether a service can be preempted. That is,
Service priorities and the Pre-emption Capability and Pre-emption Vulnerability IEs determine whether to perform
preemption.
The preemption algorithm switch (PreemptAlgoSwitch) is set to ON.
Preemption is applicable to the following scenarios:
Setup or modification of a service
Hard handover or SRNS relocation
UE state transition from CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH
The preemption procedure is as follows:

1. The RNC selects the target cell for preemption.
For
multi-carrier services (such as DC-HSDPA, DB-HSDPA, 4C-HSDPA, or DC-HSUPA services), the

RNC selects the primary cell in the DC-HSDPA, DB-HSDPA, 4C-HSDPA, or DC-HSUPA cell group as
the target cell.
For
non-multi-carrier services, the RNC selects the cell with the highest service priority or lightest
load as the target cell.
2. The preemption algorithm determines the radio link sets to be preempted.

a. Selects SRNC UEs first. If no UEs under the SRNC are available, the algorithm selects UEs under
the DRNC.
b. Sorts the preemptable UEs by integrated user priority, or sorts the preemptable RABs by integrated
RAB priority.
c. Determines candidate UEs or RABs.
For RABs of streaming or BE services, if PriorityReference is set to Traffic Class and
PreemptRefArpSwitch is set to ON, only the ones with lower ARP priority than the RAB to be
established are selected.
For multi-carrier services, only the resource of UEs that use the target cell as the primary cell is
preemptable.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

5-21
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
Select as many users or RABs as necessary in order to match the resources needed by the RAB to be
established. When the priorities of two users or RABs are the same, the algorithm selects the user or
RAB that can release the most resources.
Preemptable users or RABs must have lower priorities than RABs to be established. The type of
preemptable user or RAB varies, depending on the type of resources that triggers the preemption.
The preemption algorithm checks whether the resources released by preempted UEs or RABs are sufficient for setting
up new RABs. It does not consider the remaining resources in the cell, because they may be used by other UEs during
the preemption.
For the preemption triggered for power, the preempted objects can be R99 users, R99 + HSPA combined users, or
HSPA RABs.
For the preemption triggered for the Iub bandwidth, the preempted objects can only be RABs.
For the preemption triggered for the credit resource, more than one user or RAB can be preempted.
For the preemption triggered for the code, only one user can be preempted.
For CS RABs with the preemption capability, the PsBERrcPreemptVulnerable parameter specifies
whether RRCs can be preempted when there are no RABs to be preempted.
If
PsBERrcPreemptVulnerable is set to ON, the RRCs whose service request type is the PS BE
service and RABs have not been set up can be preempted by CS RABs.
If
PsBERrcPreemptVulnerable is set to OFF, RRCs cannot be preempted.
RRCs do not have preemption attributes or priorities. Therefore, preemption attributes and priorities are not considered
during the preemption.
3. The RNC releases the resources occupied by the candidate users, RABs, or RRCs.
4. The requested service directly uses the released resources to access the network without an
admission decision.
For details about preemption of MBMS services, see MBMS Feature Parameter Description.
Emergency calls take priority over other common users and therefore can preempt all non-emergency
services. The common preemption procedure can be performed regardless of the setting for
PreemptAlgoSwitch.
When NbmWpsAlgorithmSwitch is set to ON, the wireless priority service (WPS) function is enabled.
In such a case, the WPS users can trigger common preemption regardless of the setting for
PreemptAlgoSwitch. WPS users take priority over emergency call users.
WPS is a National Security/Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) voice service managed by the USA government. The
National Communications System (NCS) is authorized to manage the execution of the WPS project. The
NbmWpsAlgorithmPriority parameter specifies the WPS user priority.
When enabling the common preemption function, the CE resource preemption enhancement function must also be
enabled (controlled by PREEMPT_ENH_NODEB_PREEMPT_CE_SWITCH under the PreemptEnhSwitch parameter).

When CE resource admission fails due to insufficient CE resources, the CE resource preemption enhancement function
can be triggered on the NodeB side to ensure the CE resource preemption success rate. However, this function may
occupy CE resources reserved for RRC connection setups and handovers, reducing the handover success rate and
RRC connection setup success rate. This function does not affect the handover success rate and access success rate
of the preempting UEs. The probability of the handover success rate and access success rate being reduced is low.
Therefore, this function does not affect the performance of the live network.
Forced Preemption
Common preemption requires that RABs have been set up or are being set up for preempting users and
that preempting users have higher priorities than preemptable users. Therefore, CS services cannot
trigger preemption in the RRC connection setup phase. Even in the RAB-related phases, CS services
Draft A (2013-01-30)

5-22
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
may fail to preempt PS services because of insufficient priorities. When PS traffic volume is high and
radio resources are insufficient, the success rate for CS service setup may decrease. To solve this
problem, forced preemption is introduced. This function ensures preferred access of AMR services and a
high success rate for AMR service setup.
After forced preemption is enabled, only CS conversational services can trigger preemption and only PS BE service
resources can be preempted.
The forced preemption function is controlled by the following switches under the PreemptEnhSwitch
parameter:
PREEMPT_ENH_CSRRC_PREEMPT_PS_SWITCH: indicates whether CS services can preempt PS

service resources during the CS RRC connection setup procedure.
PREEMPT_ENH_CSRAB_PREEMPT_PS_SWITCH: indicates whether CS services can preempt PS

BE service resources during the CS RAB-related procedures.
The following table describes how these two switches determine preemption.

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
In the RRC connection setup phase, if an RRC setup request is from the CS domain and the cause of RRC setup is
Originating Conversational Call or Terminating Conversational Call, the RNC regards the corresponding service as CS
conversational service.
In the case of unconditional preemption, the RNC does not compare the priority of CS conversational
services with that of PS BE services. In addition, it does not consider the Pre-emption Capability or
Pre-emption Vulnerability IE delivered by the CN. In this case, PS BE services can be preempted by any
CS conversational services and only PS BE services can be preempted. Preempted PS BE services are
ranked by priority and PS BE services with the lowest priority are preempted.
When a UE transits to the CELL_DCH state from the URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state due to a CS service
request, the RNC implements the policy of forced preemption based on the setting of
CsP2DPreemptSwitch.
If CsP2DPreemptSwitch is set to OFF, the CS service request does not support preemption during a
transition from the URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state to the CELL_DCH state.
If CsP2DPreemptSwitch is set to ON, the CS service can preempt only PS BE services during a
transition from the URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state to the CELL_DCH state, regardless of the
preemption attributes and priorities of the CS and PS BE services.
If there is no PS BE services to preempt, forced preemption is implemented and the RRCs for PS BE
services are preempted when PsBERrcPreemptVulnerable is set to ON. Otherwise, preemption fails.
For details about preemption of RRCs for PS BE services, see "Common Preemption" in section 5.6
"Preemption."
When enabling the forced preemption function, the CE resource preemption enhancement function must also be enabled
(controlled by PREEMPT_ENH_NODEB_PREEMPT_CE_SWITCH under the PreemptEnhSwitch parameter). When CE
resource admission fails due to insufficient CE resources, the CE resource preemption enhancement function can be
triggered on the NodeB side to ensure the CE resource preemption success rate. However, this function may occupy CE
resources reserved for RRC connection setups and handovers, reducing the handover success rate and RRC connection
setup success rate. This function does not affect the handover success rate and access success rate of the preempting
UEs. The probability of the handover success rate and access success rate being reduced is low. Therefore, this function
does not affect the performance of the live network.
5.7 Queuing
This section describes the queuing algorithm in the WRFD-010505 Queuing and Pre-Emption feature.
For PS services, after preemption fails, the RNC performs queuing if the following conditions are met:
The RNC receives an RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message indicating that queuing is supported.
The queuing algorithm switch (QueueAlgoSwitch) is set to ON.
The queuing function is triggered by the heartbeat timer that is set by the PollTimerLen parameter. Each
time the timer expires, the RNC selects the service that meets the requirement to make an admission
attempt.
Multi-carrier services (such as DC-HSDPA, DB-HSDPA, 4C-HSDPA, or DC-HSUPA services) requested by the UE are
waiting to be processed in the primary cell.
The queuing function performs the following functions:
The queuing algorithm checks whether the queue is full, that is, whether the number of service
requests in the queue exceeds QueueLen.
The queuing algorithm decides whether to put the request into the queue, as described in the following
table.

Load Control

with the longest queuing time from the queue
Stamps
the new request with the request time (T_request) and then puts it into
the queue
Starts
the heartbeat timer if it is not started
If no, then the queuing algorithm rejects the new request directly
After the heartbeat timer expires, the queuing algorithm performs resource-based admission attempts as
follows:
Rejects the request if the queuing time of the request (Telapsed) is longer than the maximum queuing
time (MaxQueueTimeLen). Here, Telapsed is equal to the current time minus the request time
(T_request).
Selects the request with the highest integrated priority for a resource-based admission attempt.
If more than one service has the highest integrated priority, the RNC selects the request with the
longest queuing time.
If the attempt is successful, the heartbeat timer is restarted for the next processing.
If the attempt fails, the queuing algorithm proceeds as follows:

Puts
the service request back into the queue with the request time (T_request) unchanged for the next
attempt.
Selects
the request with the longest queuing time from the rest and makes another attempt until a
request is accepted or all requests are rejected.
5.8 Low-Rate Access of the PS BE Service

If the low-rate access of the PS BE service function is enabled, the PS BE service can access the target
cell at a low rate in the case of a preemption or queuing failure, to increases the access success rate.
Low-rate access means access from the DCH at 0 kbit/s, FACH, or enhanced FACH (E-FACH).
The low-rate access of the PS BE service function is enabled when the following conditions are met:
The PS_BE_EXTRA_LOW_RATE_ACCESS_SWITCH under the PsSwitch parameter is set to 1.
The PERFENH_SMALL_RATE_PS_FORCE_ADM_SWITCH under the PerfEnhanceSwitch

parameter is set to 0.
The DRA_DCCC_SWITCH under the DraSwitch parameter is set to 1.
The PS_RAB_DOWNSIZING_SWITCH under the PsSwitch parameter is set to 1.
Low-rate access is used in the following scenarios:

After an appropriate access action is determined, the service attempts to access the network.
If the action of access from the DCH at 0 kbit/s is determined, the service attempts to access the
network at 0 kbit/s for traffic and at the normal rate for signaling. For details about the methods of
resource-based admission decision, see Call Admission Control Feature Parameter Description.
If the action of access from the FACH/E-FACH is determined, the service attempts to access the
network from the FACH/E-FACH.
If the attempt fails, this service is rejected.

For the service that accesses the network at 0 kbit/s, the ZeroRateUpFailToRelTimerLen timer is
started after the service rate fails to increase for the first time. If the rate fails to increase even after the
timer expires, the service is released, and the connection is also released for a single service.
If no data is transmitted for some time after the access, the UE state changes to another state. For
details about state transition, see State Transition Feature Parameter Description.

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
To guarantee successful access of emergency calls, the RNC takes special measures for emergency
calls.
5.9.1 RRC connection setup procedure of Emergency Calls

Compared with the RRC connection setup procedure of common services, the RRC connection setup
procedure of emergency calls includes the preemption due to hard resource-based admission failure.
Hard resources include code, Iub, and CE resource. The following figure shows the RRC connection
setup procedure of an emergency call.
Figure 5-4 RRC connection setup procedure of an emergency call
The RNC does not perform RRC redirection for service steering.
In the case of power-based admission, the emergency call is admitted regardless of whether the CAC
function is enabled or not.
In the case of hard resource-based admission, the emergency call is admitted if the current remaining
resources are sufficient for RRC connection setup. If the admission fails, preemption is performed
regardless of whether the preemption is enabled or not. The emergency call that triggers preemption has
the highest priority. The range of users who can be preempted is specified by the
EmcPreeRefVulnSwitch parameter.
If EmcPreeRefVulnSwitch is set to ON, all non-emergency users who have accessed the network
can be preempted, regardless of the preemption-prohibited attribute of the users.
If EmcPreeRefVulnSwitch is set to OFF, only the non-emergency users with preemption-allowed

attribute can be preempted.
The principles for selection of specific users to be preempted are the same as those for common
services. For details, see section 5.6 "Preemption."
5.9.2 RAB Process of Emergency Calls

Compared with the RAB process of common services, the RAB process of emergency calls includes
special processing of resource-based admission and preemption.
RAB Admission of Emergency Calls

In case of power resource:
If the CAC function is enabled, regardless of which algorithm is selected, the admission decision is
made as follows:
When
the EMC_UU_ADCTRL sub-parameter of the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is set to 1,

power-based admission fails if the system is in the overload congestion state. Otherwise, the
admission succeeds.
When
this sub-parameter is set to 0, the emergency calls are directly admitted.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

5-27
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
If the CAC function switch is off, the emergency calls are directly admitted.
For hard resources (that is, code, Iub, and CE), the resource-based admission is successful if the
current remaining resources are sufficient for the request.
Preemption of Emergency Calls

If cell resource-based admission fails, preemption is performed regardless of whether the preempt
function is enabled or not. The emergency calls that trigger preemption have the highest priority. The
range of users who can be preempted is specified by the EmcPreeRefVulnSwitch parameter.
If EmcPreeRefVulnSwitch is set to ON, all non-emergency users who have accessed the network
can be preempted, regardless of the preemption-prohibited attribute of the users.
If EmcPreeRefVulnSwitch is set to OFF, only the non-emergency users with preemption-allowed

attribute can be preempted.
The principles for selection of specific users to be preempted are the same as those for common

6 Inter-Frequency Load Balancing Based on

Configurable Load Threshold

6.1 Overview
This chapter describes the WRFD-140217 Inter-Frequency Load Balancing Based on Configurable Load
Threshold feature.
This feature balances the load among inter-frequency cells in inter-frequency networking scenarios. CLB
is short for the feature name. Based on the load thresholds set for the power resource, code resource,
and CE resource, the RNC with CLB enabled can determine whether and when to trigger inter-frequency
load balancing in different scenarios.
CLB is used in the following scenarios:
Overlay network: The cells in a sector use equipment provided by different vendors, and these cells
may be managed by different RNCs. In this scenario, LDR cannot be used for load balancing among
cells under different RNCs.
Macro and micro combined network: Macro and micro cells are networked using different frequencies.
In this scenario, micro cells are required to absorb traffic volume preferentially, which means that load
balancing needs to be performed before a cell is overloaded. The existing LDR threshold cannot be
randomly changed. CLB can absorb traffic before load balancing is performed.
When the usage of cell resource exceeds the threshold for triggering the CLB state, the cell enters the
CLB state. In this case, CLB inter-frequency handovers are required to reduce the cell load and increase
the access success rate.
Figure 6-1 shows the CLB procedure.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

6-1
WCDMA RAN
Load Control

Figure 6-1 CLB procedure
The CLB procedure is as follows:

1. A user selects the INTER_FREQ_LOAD_BALANCE_BASEON_CFG_THD field under the
FuncSwitch1 parameter to enable CLB.
2. The RNC determines whether a cell is in the CLB state based on the power resource, code resource,
or CE resource. For details, see section 6.2 "Decision to Trigger or Release the CLB State." If the cell
is in the CLB state, the procedure proceeds to the next step.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

6-2
WCDMA RAN
Load Control

3. The RNC selects a user with the lowest priority for the CLB inter-frequency handover and checks the
number of selected users.
If
the number of selected users is lower than or equal to the value of the MaxUserNumforCLBIFHO
parameter, the procedure proceeds to the next step.
If
the number of selected users is larger than the value of the MaxUserNumforCLBIFHO parameter,
the RNC waits for the next CLB period specified by the ClbPeriodTimerLen parameter and then
returns to step 2.
For details about user selection for a CLB inter-frequency handover, see section 6.3 "User Selection
for a CLB Inter-Frequency Handover."
4. The RNC selects the target cell or cells of a CLB inter-frequency handover for the selected users. For
details, see section 6.4 "Target Cell Selection for a CLB Inter-Frequency Handover."
5. When the NCovCMUserNumCtrlSwitch parameter is set to ON, the RNC checks the number of
users in compressed mode with spreading factor (SF)/2 reduction.
If
the number of users in compressed mode with SF/2 reduction in the cell is lower than
CellSFCMUserNumThd, the procedure proceeds to the next step.
If
the number of users in compressed mode with SF/2 reduction in the cell is larger than or equal to
CellSFCMUserNumThd, the RNC waits for a CLB period specified by the ClbPeriodTimerLen
parameter and then returns to step 2.
The first CLB period starts when a cell enters the CLB state.
6. The RNC performs inter-frequency measurements and handovers. For details, see section 6.5
"Inter-Frequency Measurements and Handovers." After the handovers are complete, the procedure
proceeds to 4.
6.2 Decision to Trigger or Release the CLB State

The CLB state of a cell is triggered by insufficient power resource, code resource, or CE resource.
The CLB switches for power resource, code resource, and CE resource are listed in Table 6-1. Turn on
associated CLB switches to enable CLB for power resource, code resource, or CE resource.

Set the CLB releasing threshold to a value smaller than the CLB triggering threshold. It is recommended
that the difference value (in unit of %) be greater than or equal to 10.
The CLB state triggered by a CS service or the CS and PS combined services is referred to as the CS
CLB state, and the CLB state triggered by a PS service is referred to as the PS CLB state. Details are as
follows:
If the cell is in the CS CLB state, which means that the uplink or downlink cell load on the power
resource, code resource, or CE resource is higher than the CS CLB triggering threshold for a period
specified by the UlLdTrnsHysTime or DlLdTrnsHysTime parameter, the RNC selects the users
performing CS services.
For CS and PS combined services, the RNC determines their CS CLB state the same way it does with CS services.
If the cell is in the PS CLB state, which means that the uplink or downlink cell load on the power
resource, code resource, or CE resource is higher than the PS CLB triggering threshold for a period
specified by the UlLdTrnsHysTime or DlLdTrnsHysTime parameter, the RNC selects the users
performing PS services.
If the cell is in the CS and PS CLB states simultaneously, the RNC selects both the users performing
CS services and the users performing PS services.
Figure 6-2 shows the process for triggering and releasing the CLB state.

The RNC performs periodic CLB checks, checking whether the cells are in the CLB state. The period of
a CLB check is specified by the ClbPeriodTimerLen parameter.
If the current UL/DL load is higher than or equal to the UL/DL CLB triggering threshold for a hysteresis
time (UlLdTrnsHysTime/DlLdTrnsHysTime), the cell is in the CLB congestion state and the related
CLB actions are triggered.
If the current UL/DL load is lower than the UL/DL LDR releasing threshold for a hysteresis time
(UlLdTrnsHysTime / DlLdTrnsHysTime), the cell enters the normal state.
6.3 User Selection for a CLB Inter-Frequency Handover

For different resources, user selection for a CLB inter-frequency handover depends on the services

When a cell enters the CLB state, the RNC selects users for inter-frequency measurements based on
the following conditions:
The RNC selects users that support one of the frequencies used by the inter-frequency neighboring
cells whose CLBFlag is TRUE.
The RNC selects users based on the CLB state of a cell.

If
the cell is in the CS CLB state, the RNC selects the users performing CS services.
If
the cell is in the PS CLB state, the RNC selects the users performing PS services.
If
the cell is in the CS and PS CLB states simultaneously, the RNC selects both the users performing
CS services and the users performing PS services.
The RNC selects users with a bandwidth smaller than or equal to the bandwidth upper limit.
The bandwidth of UEs processing non-HSPA services and HSPA CS AMR services is their current rate,
and the bandwidth of UEs processing HSPA PS BE services and streaming services is the GBR. The
parameters related to the bandwidth limit are UlInterFreqHoBWThd and DlInterFreqHoBWThd.
The RNC does not select DC-HSDPA users.
The RNC can select DC-HSUPA users whose primary cell is in the CLB state.
The RNC selects gold users only when the GoldUserLoadControlSwitch parameter is set to ON.
Then, the RNC sorts the selected users by integrated user priority in ascending order. The RNC selects
users with lower priorities first and then users with higher priorities. For users having the same integrated
priority, a user is randomly selected. The maximum number of selected users is specified by the
MaxUserNumforCLBIFHO parameter. For details about the integrated user priority, see section 2.3.3
"Integrated User Priority."
6.4 Target Cell Selection for a CLB Inter-Frequency Handover

The RNC selects a target cell of a CLB inter-frequency handover for each selected user. Based on the
value of the CellLoadBalanceRange parameter, the RNC decides whether to select the inter-frequency
neighboring cells whose CLBFlag is TRUE under the neighboring RNC (CLB-capable neighboring cell
for short). The CellLoadBalanceRange parameter values are as follows:
ONLY_TO_INTRA_RNC: Only intra-RNC inter-frequency load balancing is allowed. Only a

CLB-capable neighboring cell under the same RNC can be selected as the target cell.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

6-6
WCDMA RAN
Load Control

ONLY_TO_INTER_RNC: Only inter-RNC inter-frequency load balancing is allowed. Only a

CLB-capable neighboring cell under the neighboring RNC can be selected as the target cell.
BOTH_TO_INTRA_RNC_AND_INTER_RNC: Intra- and inter-RNC inter-frequency load balancing are

both allowed. A CLB-capable neighboring cell under the same RNC or the neighboring RNC can be
selected as the target cell.
The process for selecting a target cell of an inter-frequency handover varies according to the following
conditions:
The CellLoadBalanceRange parameter is set to ONLY_TO_INTRA_RNC.

The
RNC selects the inter-frequency neighboring cells whose CLBFlag is TRUE. These cells must
be under the same RNC as the source cell in the CLB state.
From
the previously selected cells, the RNC excludes the inter-frequency neighboring cells working
on the frequencies that are not supported by UEs to be handed over, the inter-frequency neighboring
cells in the CLB state, and the inter-frequency neighboring cells in the LDR state.
From
the previously selected cells, the RNC excludes the cells whose cell load is larger than the CLB
triggering threshold minus the CLB difference threshold, ensuring that the selected cells have
sufficient resources. The selected cells are combined as candidate cells. The CLB triggering
threshold and difference threshold are set based on the air interface load, CE resource, and code
resource. The CLB difference threshold is used to set the resource space threshold for CLB
inter-frequency handovers. The related parameters are described as follows:
Resource Type
Uplink
Downlink
Power resource
UlPwrLoadSpaceThd
DlPwrLoadSpaceThd
Code resource
None
ClbCodeUsedSpaceThd
CE resource
UlClbCreditSfSpaceThd
DlClbCreditSfSpaceThd
From
the candidate cells, the RNC selects a cell or cells with the highest priority as the target cell or
cells based on the CLB-capable neighboring cell priority (CLBPrio).
When
the reference user speed optimization switch (UESpdOptSwitch) is set to ON, high-speed
users cannot be handed over to a micro cell. For details on how to identify high-speed users, see
Handover Feature Parameter Description.
The CellLoadBalanceRange parameter is set to ONLY_TO_INTER_RNC, and

SepRNCNCellLoadEstSwitch is set to ON.
The RNC can identify the CLB state of the inter-RNC neighboring cell only by the "high load cell" mark. If the
SepRNCNCellLoadEstSwitch parameter is set to OFF, the RNC does not identify the CLB state by the "high load cell"
mark.
The
RNC selects the inter-frequency neighboring cells whose CLBFlag is TRUE. The selected cells
must NOT be under the same RNC as the source cell in the CLB state.
From
the previously selected cells, the RNC excludes the inter-frequency neighboring cells working
on the frequencies that are not supported by UEs to be handed over and the inter-frequency
neighboring cells in the CLB state and the 3G cells marked "high load cell" as candidate cells. The
details about the 3G cells marked "high load cell" are as follows:
a
During the time window defined by UmtsCellLoadEstSlidWindow, if the number of inter-RNC

handover failures due to neighboring cell congestion or high load reaches the value of the
UmtsCellIFHOFailNum parameter, the 3G cell is marked "high load cell". Inter-frequency
measurements on and handovers towards the 3G cell are forbidden. The handover failure
causes include Relocation Preparation Failure and Radio Link Setup Failure.

When a 3G cell under a neighboring RNC is marked "high load cell", a penalty timer
(PenaltyTimeforHLoad3GCell) starts. The 3G cell cannot be selected as the target cell of a
CLB inter-frequency handover until the timer expires. When it expires, the "high load cell" mark
is removed from the 3G cell.
From
When
the reference user speed optimization switch (UESpdOptSwitch) is set to ON, high-speed
users cannot be handed over to a micro cell. For details on how to identify high-speed users, see
The CellLoadBalanceRange parameter is set to BOTH_TO_INTRA_RNC_AND_INTER_RNC.

The
RNC selects the combination of target cells that are selected when this parameter is set to
ONLY_TO_INTRA_RNC and ONLY_TO_INTER_RNC as candidate cells.
From
In the preceding three scenarios, if the RNC selects a DC-HSUPA user, the target cell must not be an inter-frequency
neighboring cell from the same carrier group.
6.5 Inter-Frequency Measurements and Handovers

The RNC sends the inter-frequency measurement control message to the UEs selected for CLB
inter-frequency handovers, instructing the UEs to perform inter-frequency measurements for CLB
inter-frequency handovers. This message contains information about one or more target cells. If the
compressed mode is required for inter-frequency measurements, the RNC starts the compressed mode
first. For details about how target cells are selected, see section 6.4 "Target Cell Selection for a CLB
Inter-Frequency Handover." For details about how UEs are selected for CLB inter-frequency handovers,
see section 6.3 "User Selection for a CLB Inter-Frequency Handover."
The UEs selected for CLB inter-frequency handovers send the RNC measurement reports, containing
the cell quality information about one or more target cells. Upon receiving such a measurement report,
the RNC performs the following:
The RNC initiates an inter-frequency hard handover if the received measurement report includes a cell
that meets all of the following criteria:
The
cell quality meets the RSCP-based and Ec/Io-based inter-frequency handover thresholds.
The
cell is not in the CLB state.
The
cell load is less than or equal to the CLB triggering threshold minus the CLB difference threshold.
If the inter-frequency hard handover succeeds, the RNC processes the next UE. If the handover fails,
the RNC waits for the next measurement report. If the UE cannot be handed over to any of the candidate
cells, the RNC decides that the UE cannot be handed over and processes the next one.
If the received measurement report includes more than one cell, the RNC selects a target cell based
on the following rules and initiates an inter-frequency hard handover.
The
RNC selects cells whose cell load meets the RSCP-based and Ec/Io-based inter-frequency
handover thresholds.
The
RNC excludes cells in the CLB state and cells whose cell load exceeds the CLB triggering
threshold minus the CLB difference threshold.
The
RNC selects a cell with the highest integrated priority as the target cell. If more than one cell has
the highest integrated priority, the RNC selects any of them as the target cell.
If the inter-frequency hard handover succeeds, the RNC processes the next UE. If the handover fails,
the RNC selects the target cell with the second-highest integrated priority. If the handover still fails, the

RNC waits for the next measurement report. If the UE cannot be handed over to any of the candidate
cells, the RNC decides that the UE cannot be handed over and processes the next one.
6.6 Related Features

The features that CLB depends on vary in different scenarios:
In the intra-band inter-frequency networking scenario, CLB does not depend on any features.
In the inter-band inter-frequency networking scenario, CLB depends on the WRFD-020110 Multi
Frequency Band Networking Management feature.
The difference between CLB and LDR lies in timing for algorithm triggering. LDR is used in the basic
congestion scenario. CLB is used for load balancing when:
The cell has not been congested.
The cell has been congested but LDR cannot be used for load balancing, such as load balancing
among cells under different RNCs.
CLB is independent from LDR.

7 Intra-Frequency Load Balancing

7.1 Overview
The intra-frequency load balancing function automatically adjusts the P-CPICH transmit power based on
cell load. In this way, load across intra-frequency neighboring cells can be balanced.
When the cell load increases, this function reduces the P-CPICH transmit power. As a result, cell
coverage shrinks and UEs at the cell edge can be handed over to intra-frequency neighboring cells.
This reduces the load in the current cell.
When cell load decreases, this function increases the P-CPICH transmit power. In this case, cell
coverage is widened and UEs from other heavily loaded neighboring cells can be handed over to the
current cell.
The intra-frequency load balancing function increases resource usage and system capacity by utilizing
idle resources in neighboring cells.
Intra-frequency load balancing incorporates the downlink intra-frequency load balancing and uplink
intra-frequency load balancing functions. The downlink intra-frequency load balancing and uplink
intra-frequency load balancing functions cannot take effect simultaneously. If they are enabled at the
same time, the downlink intra-frequency load balancing function takes precedence.
7.2 Downlink Intra-Frequency Load Balancing

The downlink intra-frequency load balancing function adjusts the P-CPICH transmit power based on the
measured downlink cell load. The downlink intra-frequency load balancing function incorporates the
TCP-based intra-frequency load balancing function and the Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of
PCPICH feature. If they are enabled at the same time, the Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of PCPICH
feature takes precedence.
7.2.1 TCP-based Intra-Frequency Load Balancing

This chapter describes the WRFD-020104 Intra-Frequency Load Balance feature.
Downlink intra-frequency load balancing is performed to adjust the coverage areas of cells according to
the measured values of cell load. It is applicable only to the downlink.
Downlink intra-frequency load balancing between intra-frequency cells is performed by adjusting the
transmit power of the Primary Common Pilot Channel (P-CPICH) according to the downlink load of the
associated cells.
When this function is enabled, that is, when INTRA_FREQUENCY_LDB under the
NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter is enabled, the RNC checks the load of cells periodically and adjusts
the transmit power of the P-CPICH in the associated cells based on the cell load.
The following figure shows the procedure for downlink intra-frequency load balancing.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

7-1
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
Figure 7-1 Procedure of downlink intra-frequency load balancing
The downlink intra-frequency load balancing is described as follows:
If the downlink load of a cell is higher than the cell overload threshold (CellOverrunThd), it is an
indication that the cell is heavily overloaded. In this case, the transmit power of the P-CPICH needs to
be reduced step by step. The step is specified by the PCPICHPowerPace parameter.
If the current transmit power is equal to the minimum transmit power of P-CPICH (MinPCPICHPower),
the current transmit power is not adjusted.
Because of the reduction in the pilot power, the UEs at the edge of the cell can be handed over to
neighboring cells, especially to those with a relatively light load and with relatively high pilot power.
After that, the downlink load of the cell is lightened accordingly.
If the downlink load of a cell is lower than the cell underload threshold (CellUnderrunThd), it is an
indication that the cell has sufficient remaining capacity for more load. In this case, the transmit power
of the P-CPICH can be increased step by step to help lighten the load of neighboring cells. The step is
specified by the PCPICHPowerPace parameter.
If the current transmit power is equal to the maximum transmit power of P-CPICH
(MaxPCPICHPower), the current transmit power is not adjusted.
7.2.2 Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of PCPICH

This section describes the WRFD-150236 Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of PCPICH feature.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

7-2
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
This feature dynamically adjusts the P-CPICH transmit power based on downlink non-HSPA load in a
cell to reduce downlink non-HSPA load for this cell. After the power adjustment, the maximum and
minimum transmit power of the DPCH carrying online UEs is also changed. To minimize the impact of
power adjustment on online UEs, this feature compensates the maximum and minimum DPCH transmit
power during the power adjustment procedure.
When DLLOAD_BASED_PCPICH_PWR_ADJ_SWITCH under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter is
selected, the Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of PCPICH feature is activated and the TCP-based
intra-frequency load balancing function becomes disabled. The RNC periodically checks the downlink
non-HSPA power load in the current cell and adjusts the P-CPICH transmit power.
Figure 7-2 shows the flowchart of the Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of PCPICH algorithm.
Figure 7-2 Flowchart of the Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of PCPICH algorithm
The RNC checks the downlink non-HSPA load in the current cell at an interval specified by the
IntraFreqLdbPeriodTimerLen parameter. Then the RNC adjusts the P-CPICH transmit power for this
cell.
If downlink non-HSPA load in the current cell is equal to or larger than the value specified in the
PcpichPwrDownDlLoadState parameter, this cell is heavily loaded. In this situation, the P-CPICH
transmit power is reduced according to the value of the PCPICHPowerPace parameter so that
cell-edge UEs can be handed over to neighboring cells with lighter load. This reduces downlink power
load and increases downlink capacity of the current cell.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

7-3
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
The minimum transmit power of the P-CPICH (MinPCPICHPower) is the lower limit for power
adjustment. The P-CPICH transmit power will not be reduced if reaching this limit. The maximum
power reduction is the difference between the PCPICHPower and MinPCPICHPower parameters.
The PCPICHPower parameter specifies the P-CPICH transmit power.
If downlink non-HSPA load in the current cell is smaller than the value specified in the
PcpichPwrUpDlLoadState parameter, this cell is lightly loaded. In this situation, more services can be
processed in this cell and the P-CPICH transmit power can be increased according to the value of the
PCPICHPowerPace parameter. This widens cell coverage and the widened coverage can
accommodate cell-edge UEs from neighboring cells. This relieves load of the neighboring cells.
The maximum transmit power of the P-CPICH (MaxPCPICHPower) is the upper limit for power
adjustment. P-CPICH transmit power will not be increased if reaching this limit. The maximum power
increase is the difference between the MaxPCPICHPower and PCPICHPower parameters. The
PCPICHPower parameter specifies the P-CPICH transmit power.
To minimize the impact of power adjustment on online UEs, this feature compensates the maximum and
minimum DPCH transmit power during the power adjustment procedure.
If the adjusted P-CPICH transmit power is lower than the value of the PCPICHPower parameter, the
maximum transmit power of the DPCH carrying online UEs remains the same as the power before the
power adjustment to promote link stability for online UEs.
If the adjusted P-CPICH transmit power is higher than the value of the PCPICHPower parameter, the
minimum transmit power of the DPCH carrying online UEs remains the same as the power before the
power adjustment to reduce non-HSPA power consumption.
The maximum and minimum transmit power for online UEs before the power adjustment is the sum of the PCPICHPower
and RlMinDlPwr parameters, and the sum of the PCPICHPower and RlMaxDlPwr parameters, respectively. For details
about the RlMinDlPwr and RlMaxDlPwr parameters, see Power Control Feature Parameter Description.
7.3 Uplink Intra-Frequency Load Balancing

In scenarios where uplink interference is always strong, increased RTWP leads to limited uplink
coverage, causing uplink and downlink coverage imbalance. To solve this problem, the RTWP-based
uplink intra-frequency load balancing algorithm is introduced. If this algorithm finds that uplink coverage
limitation is caused by RTWP, it automatically adjusts pilot power and decreases downlink coverage,
thereby balancing uplink and downlink coverage. This algorithm reduces the call drop ratio of cell edge
users caused by strong external interference. After the uplink RTWP becomes normal, this algorithm
automatically adjusts the pilot power to normal.
The uplink intra-frequency load balancing algorithm is specified by the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch:
UL_INTRA_FREQUENCY_ULB parameter. Figure 7-3 shows the process of the uplink intra-frequency
load balancing algorithm.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

7-4
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
Figure 7-3 Process of the uplink intra-frequency load balancing algorithm
As shown in Figure 7-3, the RNC performs the following actions in each ULB period (specified by the
IntraFreqULBPeriodTimerLen parameter):
1. The RNC obtains RTWP from the NodeB and then performs smooth filtering on the RTWP value. The
smooth filtering window is specified by the ULBAvgFilterLen parameter.
2. The RNC evaluates the uplink load of the current cell based on the filtered RTWP value.
If
the filtered RTWP value is between RTWPHeavyThd and RTWPLightThd, the RNC considers the
load of the current cell to be normal. In this case, the RNC does not adjust the pilot power in this
period.
If
the filtered RTWP value is more than or equal to RTWPHeavyThd, the RNC considers the load of
the current cell to be heavy. In this case, the RNC performs step 3.
If
the filtered RTWP value is less than or equal to RTWPLightThd, the RNC considers the load of the
current cell to be light. In this case, the RNC performs step 4.
3. The RNC compares the current pilot power and MinPCPICHPower. If the current pilot power is more
than MinPCPICHPower, the RNC decreases the current pilot power by one step (specified by the
PCPICHPowerPace parameter). Otherwise, the RNC does not adjust the pilot power in this period.
4. The RNC compares the current pilot power and MaxPCPICHPower. If the current pilot power is less
than MaxPCPICHPower, the RNC increases the current pilot power by one step (specified by the
PCPICHPowerPace parameter). Otherwise, the RNC does not adjust the pilot power in this period.

8 Load Reshuffling
8 Load Reshuffling
This chapter describes the WRFD-020106 Load Reshuffling feature.
When the usage of cell resources exceeds the basic congestion trigger threshold, the cell enters the
basic congestion state. In this case, LDR is required to reduce the cell load and increase the access
success rate.
8.1 Basic Congestion Triggering

The basic congestion of a cell is caused by insufficient power resource, code resource, Iub resource, or
NodeB credit resource. A cell where the basic congestion occurs is referred to as a cell in the LDR state.
For power resource, the RNC performs periodic measurement and checks whether the cells are
congested. For code, Iub, and NodeB credit resources, the RNC checks whether the cells are congested
when resource usage changes.
If the congestion of all resources is triggered in a cell, the basic congestion triggered by different
resources will be relieved in order of resource priority for load reshuffling as configured by running the
SET ULDCALGOPARA command.
8.1.1 Power Resource

The uplink load reshuffling algorithm selection depends on the following conditions:
If the parameter NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch is set to ALGORITHM_First, ALGORITHM_THIRD, or

ALGORITHM_OFF, the uplink load reshuffling algorithm will trigger basic congestion based on power
resource.
If the parameter NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch is set to ALGORITHM_FORTH, the uplink load

reshuffling algorithm will trigger basic congestion based on the total uplink load corresponding to the
actual uplink service load.
If the parameter NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch is set to ALGORITHM_SECOND, the uplink load

reshuffling algorithm will trigger basic congestion based on ENU.
For an HSUPA cell, if HSUPA_EDCH_RSEPS_MEAS under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is not selected,
regardless of the value of the parameter NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch, the uplink load reshuffling algorithm will trigger
basic congestion based on ENU.
If the measurement on the total uplink load corresponding to the actual uplink service load is unavailable, for example,
when the relevant NodeB boards cannot report the measurement results, the uplink load reshuffling algorithm will
trigger basic congestion based on ENU.
The downlink load reshuffling algorithm selection depends on the following conditions:
If the parameter NBMDlCacAlgoSelSwitch is set to ALGORITHM_OFF, ALGORITHM_First, or

ALGORITHM_THIRD, the downlink load reshuffling algorithm will trigger basic congestion based on
power resource.
If the parameter NBMDlCacAlgoSelSwitch is set to ALGORITHM_SECOND, the downlink load

reshuffling algorithm will trigger basic congestion based on ENU.
If the load of a cell is calculated based on power resource, the uplink load of the cell is calculated based
on the uncontrollable load in the HSUPA cell or total RTWP load in the R99 cell. And the downlink load of
the cell is calculated based on the load of non-HSPA power and GBP in the HSDPA cell or total TCP load
in the R99 cell. If the load of a cell is calculated based on ENU, the uplink load and the downlink load of
the cell are calculated based on the total ENU load in the cell, respectively. For details about the load of
a cell calculated based on power resource and based on ENU, see Call Admission Control Feature

As shown in Figure 8-1, if the UL/DL load of the cell is higher than or equal to the UL/DL LDR trigger
threshold (UlLdrTrigThd or DlLdrTrigThd) for a hysteresis time, the cell is in the basic congestion state,
and the related load reshuffling actions, as listed in Table 8-2, are taken. If the current UL/DL load of the
cell is lower than the UL/DL LDR relief threshold (UlLdrRelThd or DlLdrRelThd) for a hysteresis time,
the cell changes to the normal state and the related load reshuffling actions are stopped.
For the downlink, the hysteresis time is specified by the DlLdTrnsHysTime parameter; for the uplink, the hysteresis time
is 600 ms.
The DL LDR trigger threshold of a DC-HSDPA cell group equals the sum of the DL LDR trigger
thresholds of the two cells in this group. The DL LDR relief threshold of a DC-HSDPA cell group equals
the sum of the DL LDR relief thresholds of the two cells in this group. If a DC-HSDPA cell group is in the
basic congestion state, the related LDR actions are performed in each cell separately.
In a DC-HSUPA cell, LDR triggering and execution happen in the two cells respectively.

Congestion control based on code resource can be enabled through the CELL_CODE_LDR
sub-parameter of the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter.

If the SF corresponding to the current remaining code of the cell is larger than the value of
CellLdrSfResThd, code congestion is triggered and the related load reshuffling actions, as listed in
Table 8-2, are taken.
8.1.3 Iub Resource

Congestion control based on Iub resource can be enabled through the IUB_LDR sub-parameter of the
NodeBLdcAlgoSwitch parameter.
Iub congestion control in both the uplink and downlink is NodeB-oriented. In the case of Iub congestion,
LDR actions are applied to congestion resolution. Iub congestion is detected in a separate processing
module. For details about the decision on Iub congestion detection, see Transmission Resource
Management Feature Parameter Description.
For the basic congestion caused by Iub resource, all UEs under the NodeB are the objects of related
LDR actions.
8.1.4 NodeB Credit Resource

The basic congestion caused by NodeB credit resource is of the following types:
Type A: Basic congestion at the local cell level

If the cell UL/DL current remaining credit resource is lower than the credit resource corresponding to
the SF specified by UlLdrCreditSfResThd or DlLdrCreditSfResThd (set by running the ADD
UCELLLDR command), credit congestion at the cell level is triggered and related load reshuffling
actions will be taken in the current cell.
Type B: Basic congestion at the local cell group level (if any)
Type C: Basic congestion at the NodeB level

If the cell group or NodeB UL/DL current remaining credit resource is lower than the credit resource
corresponding to the SF specified by UlLdrCreditSfResThd or DlLdrCreditSfResThd (set by running
the ADD UNODEBLDR command), credit congestion at the cell group or NodeB level is triggered and
related load reshuffling actions will be taken.
The basic congestion of type A will not trigger load-based inter-frequency handovers while the basic
congestion of type B or C will trigger such actions.
The following table lists the LDR switches that need to be set to 1 for different algorithm types.

congestion is relieved. These procedures apply to HSPA cells and R99 cells:
For R99 cells, only DCH UEs are selected by LDR actions.

Figure 8-2 LDR procedure
As shown in the preceding figure, when the system is congested, the load-based inter-frequency
handover is initiated first.
If the handover succeeds, the algorithm continues to check whether the system is congested. If the
system is still congested, the load-based inter-frequency handover is initiated again.
If the handover fails, code reshuffling is performed:

If
the code reshuffling succeeds, the algorithm continues to check whether the system is congested.
If the system is still congested, the code reshuffling is initiated again.
If
the code reshuffling fails, the next action, BE rate reduction, is taken.
The remaining actions to be performed may be deduced by analogy. For details about LDR actions, see

A few actions in Table 8-2 are described as follows:
The Inter-RAT Handover in CS Domain action can be performed for the HSDPA services only when
the HsdpaCMPermissionInd parameter is set to TRUE.
If the uplink power-based admission uses the ENU algorithm, the load-based inter-frequency
handover for HSUPA user can be performed.
If the uplink power-based admission uses the power resource algorithm, the load-based
inter-frequency handover for HSUPA user cannot be performed, as indicated by the symbol "*" in the
preceding table.
If the downlink power-based admission uses the ENU algorithm, the basic congestion can also be
caused by the ENU. In this situation, LDR actions do not involve AMR rate reduction or MBMS power
reduction, as indicated by the symbol "*" in the preceding table.
In the same environment, different rates have different downlink transmit powers. The higher the rate,
the greater the downlink transmit power. Therefore, the load can be reduced by bandwidth
reconfiguration.
If dynamic CE resource management is enabled, BE service rate downsizing of LDR actions that is
triggered by insufficient NodeB credit resource is ineffective to HSUPA users.
For LDR triggered by Iub congestion, RNC selects UEs in the congested path or port.
Load-based inter-frequency handovers triggered by code resource congestion support blind

handovers but do not support measurement-based handovers.
In an LDR-triggered DC-HSUPA cell, the RNC selects only the DC-HSUPA UEs whose current cell is
the primary cell. If LDR is triggered because of insufficient uplink power or number of equivalent users,
the RNC does not select the DC-HSUPA UEs whose secondary carrier cell is the target cell.
Parameters related to certain LDR actions are classified into cell-level and NodeB-level parameters.
These parameters apply to different resources.
NodeB-level
parameters take effect when Iub resources, cell group credit resources, or NodeB credit
resources are in basic congestion state.

8.3 LDR Actions

8.3.1 Load-based Inter-Frequency Handover
Load-based inter-frequency handover is also called inter-frequency load balance (WRFD-020103
Inter-Frequency Load Balance).
If the UE is in the soft handover state, load-based inter-frequency handover can be performed only when
HO_ALGO_LDR_ALLOW_SHO_SWITCH under the HoSwitch parameter is set to 1.
When HO_INTER_FREQ_HARD_HO_SWITCH under the HoSwitch parameter is set to ON, the RNC
is allowed to initiate inter-frequency measure control or the load-based inter-frequency hard handover
upon the handover decision on inter-frequency load.
The CodeCongSelInterFreqHoInd parameter can be set so that the inter-frequency handover can
relieve the basic congestion caused by code resource.
The load-based inter-frequency handover can be performed based on blind handover or measurement,
which can be decided by the InterFreqLDHOMethodSelection parameter.
Load-based Inter-Frequency Handover Based on Blind Handover

If the InterFreqLDHOMethodSelection parameter is set to BLINDHO, the load-based inter-frequency
handover based on blind handover performs the following steps:
1. The algorithm checks whether cells for inter-frequency blind handover are available. If available, the
algorithm goes to the next step. Otherwise, the action fails, and the algorithm takes the next action.
Whether the neighboring cells support blind handover is specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag.
2. The RNC selects the UEs that meet the following requirements. Then, RNC sorts the UEs by
integrated user priority and selects the UE of the lowest integrated user priority to perform the next
step. If there are no candidate users, the action fails, and the algorithm takes the next action.
The
service types of UEs are not restricted for LDR handover by parameter
InterFreqLdHoForbidenTC.
The
user rate of UEs is smaller than or equal to the handover bandwidth threshold. The handover
bandwidth thresholds of uplink and downlink are respectively specified by the UlInterFreqHoBWThd
and DlInterFreqHoBWThd parameters.
If
the basic congestion is caused by the credit resource, only UEs processing PS services are
selected as candidate UEs.
If multiple UEs have the same lowest integrated priority, the algorithm selects the one with the highest rate for
handover.
The user rates of UEs processing non-HSPA services and HSPA CS AMR services are their actual rates, and the user
rates of UEs processing HSPA PS BE services and streaming services are their GBRs. The user rates must be less
than UlInterFreqHoBWThd and DlInterFreqHoBWThd in the uplink and downlink.
If the basic congestion is caused by the credit resource, only UEs processing PS services are selected as candidate
UEs. UEs processing CS services are not selected because they consume a small amount of credit resource and
therefore handovers of them can do little to ease credit congestion. In addition, selecting UEs processing CS services
as candidate UEs may increase the call drop rate of CS services.
3. The RNC selects the candidate cells that meet the following requirements:
The
cell is an inter-frequency neighboring cell of the current cell and is controlled by the same RNC.
The
frequency of the cell is within the band supported by the UE.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

8-8
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
8 Load Reshuffling
CPICH
RSCP of the current cell in the measurement report that is reported by UE is higher than or
equal to BlindHOQualityCondition of the candidate cells.
The
algorithm selects the candidate cells to be handed over according to the setting of
NbmLdcUeSelSwitch:
a. If NbmLdcUeSelSwitch is set to NBM_LDC_MATCH_UE_ONLY, the algorithm only selects
the candidate cells from the cells supporting the UE service.
b. If NbmLdcUeSelSwitch is set to NBM_LDC_MATCH_UE_FIRST, the algorithm first selects
the candidate cells from the cells supporting the UE service. If there are no such cells, the
algorithm selects the candidate cells from the cells not supporting the UE service.
c. If NbmLdcUeSelSwitch is set to NBM_LDC_ALL_UE, the condition is invalid for the algorithm.
The
load state of candidate cell is normal.
The
candidate cell meets the following conditions on load margin:
a. If the basic congestion is caused by power resource:

If the cell does not support DC-HSDPA, the algorithm checks whether the UL/DL load margin of
the cell is higher than UlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd/DlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd,
whether the load of the cell is normal and whether the CPICH RSCP of the current cell in the
measurement report is higher than or equal to BlindHOQualityCondition.
If a cell supports DC-HSDPA, the cell and its corresponding cell group must have sufficient load
margin to qualify as the candidate cell. That is, the load margin of the cell group must be greater
than twice the value for DlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd and the load margin of the cell must
be greater than DlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd.
The load margin refers to the difference between the load of the candidate cell and the basic congestion trigger threshold
of the candidate cell. If the load of a cell is calculated based on power resource, the uplink load of the cell is calculated
based on the uncontrollable load of the cell and the downlink load of the cell is calculated based on the load of non-HSPA
power and GBP in the cell. If the load of a cell is calculated based on ENU, the uplink load and the downlink load of the
cell are calculated based on the total ENU load in the cell, respectively. For details about the load of a cell calculated
based on power resource and based on ENU, see Call Admission Control Feature Parameter Description.
b. If the basic congestion is caused by code resource:

Whether there are blind handover candidate cells meeting the requirements is decided by the
following conditions:
The minimum SF of the candidate cell is not greater than that of the current cell.
The difference of code usage between the current cell and the candidate cell is greater than
LdrCodeUsedSpaceThd.
c. If the basic congestion is caused by the credit resource:
UL credit margin for LDR in the candidate cell > Credit resource corresponding to the SF specified
by UlInterFreqHoCeLDRSpaceThd
The UL credit margin for LDR is calculated by subtracting the credit resource corresponding to the
SF specified by UlLdrCreditSfResThd from the remaining credit resource in the cell group or
under the NodeB. The UL credit margin for LDR equals the smaller one of the UL credit margin for
LDR in the cell group and that under the NodeB.
4. The RNC selects the target cell from the candidate cells according to the following principles:
If
there are more than one candidate cells meeting the requirements, the first cell in the list of the
neighbor cells is selected as the blind handover target cell.
If
there is no such cell, the RNC selects the candidate user of the second lowest integrated user
priority to retry to select the target cell.
If
all the candidate users have been tried and the RNC does not select the target cell, the action fails
and the algorithm takes the next action.

5. After selecting the target cell and the UE, the RNC makes blind handover decision. For details, see
Load-based Inter-Frequency Handover Based on Measurement

The load-based inter-frequency handover based on measurement can be performed if the basic
congestion is caused by power or credit resource.
Load-based inter-frequency handovers triggered by code resource congestion support blind handovers
but do not support measurement-based handovers.
If the InterFreqLDHOMethodSelection parameter is set to MEASUREHO, the load-based
inter-frequency handover is performed based on measurement. The LDR algorithm is implemented by
performing the following steps:
1. The RNC selects the UE whose service types are not restricted for LDR handover by parameter
InterFreqLdHoForbidenTC, and then sorts the selected UEs according to their integrated priority
and performs load-based inter-frequency handover based on measurement on the UE with the
lowest integrated priority.
If the basic congestion is caused by the credit resource, only UEs processing PS services are
selected as candidate UEs. This is the same as in cases of blind handovers.
2. The RNC selects the candidate cells that meet the following conditions:
The
cell is an inter-frequency neighboring cell of the current cell and is controlled by the same RNC.
The
frequency of the cell is within the band supported by the UE.
The
cell meets the following conditions on load margin:
a. If the basic congestion is caused by power resource:

If the cell does not support DC-HSDPA, the algorithm checks whether the UL/DL load margin of
the target cell is higher than UlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd /
DlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd and whether the load of the target cell is normal.
If the cell supports DC-HSDPA, the cell and its corresponding cell group must have sufficient load
margin. That is, the load margin of the cell group must be greater than twice the value for
DlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd and the load margin of the cell must be greater than
DlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd.
b. If the basic congestion is caused by the credit resource:
UL credit margin for LDR in the candidate cell > Credit resource corresponding to the SF specified by
UlInterFreqHoCeLDRSpaceThd
The UL credit margin for LDR is calculated by subtracting the credit resource corresponding to the
SF specified by UlLdrCreditSfResThd from the remaining credit resource in the cell group or under
the NodeB. The UL credit margin for LDR equals the smaller one of the UL credit margin for LDR in
the cell group and that under the NodeB.
And the load state of target cell is normal.
The
DrdOrLdrFlag parameter of the cell is set to True, indicating that the cell can be measured.
If
the NbmLdcUeSelSwitch parameter is set to NBM_LDC_MATCH_UE_ONLY, the cell must

support the service requested by the UE.
If
the UESpdOptSwitch parameter is set to ON, the RNC identifies high-speed users. To high-speed
users, the value of HCSPrio for candidate cells must be higher than that for the serving cell. For
details on how to identify high-speed users, see Handover Feature Parameter Description.
If such candidate cells do not exist, the load-based inter-frequency handover action fails and the
algorithm takes the next action.
If such candidate cells exist, the following step is performed.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

8-10
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
8 Load Reshuffling
1. The RNC issues a measurement control message to the UE, requesting the UE to measure the
signal quality of all candidate cells.
2. The UE measures the RSCP and Ec/N0 of the candidate cells and periodically reports the
measurement results to the RNC. The reporting period is specified by the PrdReportInterval
parameter.
3. Based on the received measurement results, the RNC selects the candidate cells. The candidate
cells must meet the following conditions:
The
cell is not in the basic congestion state.
The
measured RSCP is higher than the RSCP threshold that is specified by the TargetFreqThdRscp
parameter.
The
measured Ec/N0 is higher than the Ec/N0 threshold that is specified by the TargetFreqThdEcN0
parameter.
If such candidate cells do not exist, the load-based inter-frequency handover action fails and the
algorithm takes the next action.
If such candidate cells exist, the following step is performed.
4. The RNC selects the cell with the highest priority from the candidate cells to perform inter-frequency
hard handover.
If
the handover succeeds, the LDR action is complete.
If
the handover fails, the RNC tries accessing the cell with the second highest priority to perform
inter-frequency hard handover until the handover succeeds or it has attempted to access all the
candidate cells.
If the compressed mode is required for the UE to perform inter-frequency measurement, the RNC starts the
inter-frequency measurement timer (specified by the InterFreqMeasTime parameter) as soon as the measurement
control message is issued. If inter-frequency handover remains unsuccessful until the timer expires, the RNC stops the
inter-frequency measurement and cancels the compressed mode.
8.3.2 BE Rate Reduction

When admission control of Power/NodeB Credit is disabled, do not configure the BE Rate Reduction as an LDR action in
order to avoid ping-pong effect.
BE rate reduction can only be performed when the DRA_DCCC_SWITCH sub-parameter of the
DraSwitch parameter is set to 1.
The LDR algorithm operates as follows:
1. Based on the integrated priority, the algorithm sorts the BE RABs in descending order.
2. The algorithm selects the BE RABs that meet the following condition:
The
current rate of the BE RAB is higher than the GBR specified by running the SET UUSERGBR
command.
The
BE RAB has the lower integrated priorities.
The number of selected RABs is specified by the UlLdrBERateReductionRabNum or

DlLdrBERateReductionRabNum parameter.
If the integrated priorities of some RABs are identical, the RAB with the highest rate is selected.
3. If services can be selected, the action is successful. If services cannot be selected, the action fails.
The algorithm takes the next action.
4. The bandwidth of the selected services is reduced to the specified rate. For details about the rate
reduction procedure, see DCCC Feature Parameter Description.

5. The reconfiguration is complete as indicated by the RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION

message on the Uu interface and through the synchronized radio link reconfiguration procedure on

8.3.3 QoS Renegotiation for Uncontrollable Real-Time Services

This section describes the WRFD-010506 RAB Quality of Service Renegotiation over Iu Interface
feature.
Uncontrollable real-time services refer to PS streaming services. The load can be reduced by adjusting
the rates of real-time services through QoS renegotiation.
The uncontrollable real-time service cannot perform rate down automatically like BE service due to the
QoS requirement. That is, GBR is specified in RAB assignment procedure and must be guaranteed.
When the system needs to adjust service rate to relieve the system load, the RNC has to initiate a rate
renegotiation over the Iu interface by requesting a new RAB parameters with a lower bit rate for real time
service using RAB Modification procedure.
The RNC will request a new MBR and GBR that are the lowest ones among the alternative
configurations in the RAB ASSIGNMENT message from the CN. However, the CN can decide how to
react to the request upon reception of the RAB MODIFY REQUEST message.
1. Based on the integrated priority, the algorithm sorts the RABs for real-time services in the PS domain
in descending order.
2. The algorithm selects the RABs with the lowest integrated priorities for QoS renegotiation. The
number of selected RABs is specified by the UlLdrPsRTQosRenegRabNum or
DlLdrPsRTQosRenegRabNum parameter. If the RNC cannot find an appropriate service for the
QoS renegotiation, the action fails. The algorithm takes the next action.
3. The algorithm performs QoS renegotiation for the selected services. The GBR during the service
setup is the minimum rate of the service after the QoS renegotiation.
4. The RNC initiates the RAB MODIFY REQUEST message to the CN for the QoS renegotiation. Upon
reception of the RAB MODIFY REQUEST message, the CN sends the RAB ASSIGNMENT
REQUEST message to the RNC for RAB parameter reconfiguration.
8.3.4 Inter-RAT Handover in the CS Domain

This action can only be performed when the CS inter-RAT handover algorithm is enabled.
The size and coverage mode of a 2G cell are different from those of a 3G cell. Therefore, inter-RAT blind
handover is not considered.
Inter-RAT handover in the CS domain involves the following actions.
Inter-RAT Should Be Load-based Handover in the CS Domain

1. Based on the integrated priority, the algorithm sorts the UEs with the "service handover" IE set to
"handover to GSM should be performed" in the CS domain in descending order.
2. The algorithm selects the UEs with the lowest integrated priorities. The number of selected UEs is
specified by the UlCSInterRatShouldBeHOUeNum or DlCSInterRatShouldBeHOUeNum
parameter.
3. For the selected UEs, the LDR module sends the load-based handover command to the inter-RAT
handover module, requesting the inter-RAT handover module to hand over the UEs to the 2G
system.

4. The handover module decides to trigger the inter-RAT handover, depending on the capability of the
UE to support the compressed mode.
5. If a UE that meets the handover criteria is not found, the algorithm takes the next action.
Inter-RAT Should Not Be Load-based Handover in the CS Domain

The algorithm for this action is the same as that for the action "Inter-RAT Should Be Load-based
Handover in the CS Domain". The difference is that this action involves only CS users with the "service
handover" IE set to "handover to GSM should not be performed".
The number of selected UEs is specified by the UlCSInterRatShouldNotHOUeNum or
DlCSInterRatShouldNotHOUeNum parameter.
8.3.5 Inter-RAT Handover in the PS Domain

This action can only be performed when the PS inter-RAT handover algorithm is enabled.
Inter-RAT handover in the PS domain involves the following actions.
Inter-RAT Should Be Load-based Handover in the PS Domain

The algorithm for this action is the same as that for the action "Inter-RAT Should Be Load-based

The number of controlled UEs is determined by the UlPSInterRatShouldBeHOUeNum or
DlPSInterRatShouldBeHOUeNum parameter.
Inter-RAT Should Not Be Load-based Handover in the PS Domain

The algorithm for this action is the same as that for the action "Inter-RAT Should Not Be Load-based
Handover in the CS Domain". The difference is that this action involves only PS users with the "service

The number of controlled UEs is specified by the UlPSInterRatShouldNotHOUeNum or
DlPSInterRatShouldNotHOUeNum parameter.
HSPA services can be selected only when HsdpaCMPermissionInd is set to TRUE and HsupaCMPermissionInd is not
set to Limited.
For details about the two parameters, see Handover Feature Parameter Description.
8.3.6 AMR Rate Reduction

This action can only be performed when the sub-parameter CS_AMRC_SWITCH of the parameter
CsSwitch is set to 1.
AMR Rate Reduction in the Downlink

In the downlink, the LDR algorithm operates as follows:
1. Based on the integrated priority, the algorithm sorts the AMR RABs in descending order.
2. The algorithm selects the RABs with the lowest integrated priorities and with the rates higher than the
GBR for AMR services (conversational). The number of selected RABs is specified by the
DlLdrAMRRateReductionRabNum parameter. If the RNC cannot find an appropriate RAB for the
AMR rate reduction, the action fails. The algorithm takes the next action.
3. The RNC sends the rate control request message through the Iu interface to the CN to adjust the
AMR rate to the GBR.

3. The RNC sends the TFC CONTROL command to the UE to adjust the AMR rate to the GBR.
8.3.7 Code Reshuffling

This section describes the WRFD-020108 Code Resource Management feature.
To optimize the code usage efficiency, the "left most" principle is adopted in initial code allocation
procedure, that is, the code with minimum SF is reserved to ensure that the codes are available for use
continuously. However, the code tree may not obey the "left most" principle during actual use. Code
reshuffling can be used to make the code tree obey "left most" principle.
When the cell is in the basic congestion state caused by code resource, code reshuffling can be
performed to reserve sufficient code resource for subsequent services. Code sub-tree adjustment refers
to the switching of users from one code sub-tree to another. It is used for decreasing the code fragments
to release smaller codes first.
The algorithm operates as follows:
1. Initializes SF_Cur to CellLdrSfResThd.
2. Traverses all the sub-trees with this SF_Cur at the root node except the sub-trees occupied by
common channels and HSDPA channels, and takes the sub-trees in which the number of users is not
larger than the value of MaxUserNumCodeAdj as candidate sub-trees for code reshuffling.
If
such candidate sub-trees are available, the algorithm goes to step 3.
If
no such candidate sub-tree is available, sub-tree selection fails. This procedure ends.
3. Selects a sub-tree from the candidate sub-trees according to the setting of LdrCodePriUseInd.
If
this parameter is set to TRUE, the algorithm selects the sub-tree with the largest code number from
the candidates.
If
this parameter is set to FALSE, the algorithm selects the sub-tree with the smallest number of
users from the candidates. if multiple sub-trees have the same number of users, the algorithm selects
the sub-tree with the largest code number.
4. Treats each user in the sub-tree as a new user and allocates code resource to each user.
5. Initiates the reconfiguration procedure for each user in the sub-tree and reconfigures the
channelization codes of the users to the newly allocated code resource.
The reconfiguration procedure on the UU interface is initiated through the PHYSICAL CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION message and that on the Iub interface through the RL RECONFIGURATION
message.
The following figure shows an example of code reshuffling. In this example, CellLdrSfResThd is set to
SF8, and MaxUserNumCodeAdj is set to 1.

8.3.8 MBMS Power Reduction

Some MBMS-related algorithms do not take effect on the BSC6910 because the BSC6910 does not support
MBMS-related features.
The downlink power load can be reduced by lowering the power on MBMS traffic channels.
The algorithm operates as follows:
1. Based on the integrated priority, the algorithm sorts the RABs in descending order.
2. The algorithm selects a RAB with the lowest integrated priority and with the current power higher than
the minimum transmit power of the corresponding MTCH. That is, it selects an RAB whose ARP
value is higher than MbmsDecPowerRabThd.
3. The algorithm triggers a reconfiguration procedure to set the power to the minimum transmit power of
the FACH onto which the MTCH is mapped.
The reconfiguration procedure on the Iub interface is implemented through the COMMON
TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION REQUEST message.
8.3.9 PS Inter-RAT Handover from UMTS to LTE

This section describes the WRFD-150216 Load Based PS Redirection from UMTS to LTE feature and
the WRFD-150217 Load Based PS Handover from UMTS to LTE feature.
If PS inter-RAT handover from UMTS to LTE is triggered when UMTS cells are in the basic congestion
state, the RNC redirects or switches only the PS services of UL dual-mode or GUL triple-mode UEs to
LTE cells. This helps balance inter-RAT load and improve user experience.
PS inter-RAT handover from UMTS to LTE is controlled by PSInterU2LLDHO under the
DlLdrFirstAction parameter. This LDR action is implemented as follows:
1. After the PS inter-RAT handover from UMTS to LTE is triggered when UMTS cells are in the basic
congestion state, the RNC determines whether to allow UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection or handovers.
2. The RNC allows UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection or handovers when all of the following conditions are
met:
There are no CS RABs among the UE's RABs.
All RABs of the UE can be handed over or redirected to LTE cells.

If

3. The RNC selects UEs to perform the PS inter-RAT handover from UMTS to LTE LDR action.
After allowing UMTS-to-LTE PS redirection for handovers, the RNC selects UEs to perform this LDR
action.
a The RNC puts UL or GUL UEs that processes only PS services into a list.
b The RNC selects UEs that did not perform PS handovers from UMTS to LTE.
c The RNC arranges the selected UEs according to the user integrated priority. Then the RNC selects
several UEs to perform this LDR action in ascending order of user integrated priority.
For uplink LDR actions, the number of UEs is specified by the UlPSU2LHOUeNum parameter. For
downlink LDR actions, the number of UEs is specified by the DlPSU2LHOUeNum parameter.
If the UEs have the same user integrated priority, they will be selected randomly. Suppose there are
five UEs (UE A, UE B, UE C, UE D, and UE E) and the user integrated priority is A < B = C = D < E. If
three UEs are to be selected, the RNC preferentially selects UE A and then selects any two UEs
among UEs B, C, and D.
8.3.10 LDR Actions of One UE in the Uplink and Downlink

In most cases, uplink and downlink LDR actions are independent of each other. Sometimes, these LDR
actions may be performed by the same UE.
If the uplink and downlink are going to perform same LDR actions, these LDR actions can be
performed simultaneously in the uplink and downlink of the same UE.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

For example, BE service rate reduction must be performed simultaneously in the uplink and downlink
of the same UE. In this situation, the RNC sends only one RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION
message, indicating that BE service rate reduction is performed simultaneously in the uplink and
downlink of this UE.
If the uplink and downlink are going to perform different LDR actions, these LDR actions can be
performed as follows:
If
uplink LDR actions are inter-frequency or inter-RAT handovers, or PS inter-RAT handovers from
UMTS to LTE, LDR actions can only be performed in the uplink.
If
downlink LDR actions are inter-frequency or inter-RAT handovers, or PS inter-RAT handover from
UMTS to LTE, LDR actions can only be performed in the downlink.
LDR actions are performed in the direction with fewer UEs.

9 Overload Control
This chapter describes the WRFD-020107 Overload Control feature.
After the UE access is allowed, the power consumed by a single link is adjusted by the single link power
control function. The power varies with factors such as the mobility of the UE and the changes in the
environment. In some situations, the total power load of the cell can be higher than the target load. To
ensure the system stability, OLC must be performed.
9.1 Overload Triggering

Only the power resource and Iub bandwidth may result in the overload congestion state. Hard resources
such as the ENU and credit resource do not cause overload congestion.
For details about overload congestion caused by Iub bandwidth, see Transmission Resource Management Feature
For the overload triggered by power resources, the downlink OLC algorithm will trigger overload based
on total TCP load in the R99 cell or the load of non-HSPA power and HSDPA GBP in the HSDPA cell.
The uplink OLC algorithm selection depends on the following conditions:
If the parameter NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch is set to ALGORITHM_First, ALGORITHM_THIRD, or

ALGORITHM_OFF, the uplink OLC algorithm will trigger overload based on total RTWP load of the
cell.
If the parameter NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch is set to ALGORITHM_FORTH, the uplink OLC algorithm

will trigger overload based on the total uplink load corresponding to the actual uplink service load.
If the measurement on the total uplink load corresponding to the actual uplink service load is unavailable, for example,
when the relevant NodeB boards cannot report the measurement results, the uplink OLC algorithm will trigger overload
based on total RTWP load of the cell.
OLC can be enabled through the UL_UU_OLC and DL_UU_OLC sub-parameters of the
NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter.
The following figure shows the triggering and release of cell power overload.

Figure 9-1 Triggering and release of cell power overload
As shown in Figure 9-1, if the UL/DL load of the cell is higher than or equal to the UlOlcTrigThd or
DlOlcTrigThd for a hysteresis time, the cell is in the overload state, and the related overload handling
action is taken. If the current UL/DL load of the cell is lower than the UlOlcRelThd or DlOlcRelThd for a
hysteresis time, the overload state of the cell is released and the related overload handling is stopped.
For the downlink, the hysteresis time is specified by the parameter DlLdTrnsHysTime; for the uplink, the hysteresis time
is 600 ms.
The UL or DL OLC trigger threshold of a DC-HSDPA cell group equals the sum of the UL or DL OLC
trigger thresholds of the two cells in this group. The UL or DL OLC relief threshold of a DC-HSDPA cell
group equals the sum of the UL or DL OLC relief thresholds of the two cells in this group. If a DC-HSDPA
cell group is overloaded, the related overload handling is performed in each cell separately.
In a DC-HSUPA cell, OLC triggering and execution happen in the two cells respectively.
In addition to periodic measurement, event-triggered measurement is applicable to OLC.

If the sub-parameter OLC_EVENTMEAS of the parameter NBMLdcAlgoSwitch is set to 1, the RNC
sends the NodeB a request for event measurement based on power resource. In the associated request
message, the reporting criterion is specified, including the hysteresis time, the related OLC thresholds.
Then the NodeB checks the current power load in real time according to this criterion and reports the
status to the RNC periodically if the conditions of reporting are met.
Limited by 3GPP, the NodeB cannot check the total load of the non-HSDPA power and the GBP. Therefore, the
recommended setting of OLC_EVENTMEAS is 0 for HSDPA cells.
9.2 General OLC Procedure

When the cell is overloaded, the RNC takes one of the following actions in each period specified by the
OlcPeriodTimerLen parameter until the congestion is relieved:

As shown in the preceding figure, the OLC procedure is as follows:

2. The OLC takes the second action to switch BE services to common channels.
If
the switching succeeds, the OLC checks whether the system is overloaded. If yes, the OLC
switches BE services to common channels again.
If
the switching fails, go to step 3.
3. The OLC takes the third action to adjust the maximum FACH transmit power.
If
the adjustment succeeds, the OLC checks whether the system is overloaded. If yes, the OLC
adjusts the power again.
If
the adjustment fails, the OLC takes the fourth action to release some RABs.

Moreover, when the cell is in the overload congestion state:
The state transition from FACH to DCH is prohibited.
When the FACH_UU_ADCTRL sub-parameter of NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is set to ON, the

admission for users over FACH or enhanced FACH channels (HS-DSCH) is prohibited.
When the FACH_UU_ADCTRL sub-parameter of NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is set to OFF, the

admission decision for users over FACH or enhanced FACH channels(HS-DSCH) is allowed.
The admission for resource requests of RRC connection setup whose cause is emergency call, detach,
or registration is always allowed. This is because the priority of such requests is high.
9.3 OLC Actions

9.3.1 Performing TF Control of BE Services
OLC Algorithm for TF Control in the Downlink
For the TF control in the downlink, the OLC algorithm operates as follows:
1. Based on the integrated priority, the algorithm sorts the RABs in descending order.
2. The algorithm selects the following RABs:
DCH
RABs with the rates higher than DlDcccRateThd. For details about the parameter, see DCCC
Feature Parameter Description.
RABs
with the lowest integrated priorities.
The number of RABs selected is smaller than or equal to DlOlcFTFRstrctRabNum.

If the RNC cannot find an appropriate service for the TF control, the OLC takes the next action.
3. The RNC sends the TF control indication message to the MAC. Each MAC of the selected RABs will
receive one TF control indication message and will restrict the transport format combination (TFC)
selection of the BE services to reduce the data rate step by step.
The MAC restricts the TFC selection according to the following formula:
TFmax(N+1) = TFmax(N) x Ratelimitcoeff
where:
TFmax(0)
is the maximum TB number of the BE service before the service is selected for TF control.
TFmax(N+1)
is the maximum TB number during the period from (T0 + RateRstrctTimerLen x N) to

(T0 + RateRstrctTimerLen x (N + 1)), where T0 is the time when the MAC receives the TF control
indication message.
Ratelimitcoeff
is specified by the RateRstrctCoef parameter.
4. If the number of times that TF control is performed exceeds DlOlcFTFRstrctTimes, the action fails.
The OLC takes the next action.
5. If the congestion is relieved, the RNC sends the congestion relief indication to the MAC. At the same
time, the rate recovery timer (RateRecoverTimerLen) is started. When this timer expires, the MAC
increases the data rate step by step.
MAC recovers the TFC selection by calculating the maximum TB number according to the following
formula:
TFmax(N+1) = TFmax(N) x RateRecoverCoeff
Here:
TFmax(0)
is the maximum TB number of the BE service before congestion relief indication is
received.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
9 Overload Control
TFmax(N+1)
is the maximum TB number during the period from (T1 + RateRecoverTimerLen x N)

to (T1 + (RateRecoverTimerLen x (N + 1)), where T1 is the time when the MAC receives the
congestion relief indication message.
RateRecoverCoeff
is specified by the RecoverCoef parameter.
OLC Algorithm for TF Control in the Uplink

For a UE with the DCH service, the RNC sends a TRANSPORT FORMAT COMBINATION CONTROL
message to the UE to restrict the TFC of the UE, according to the 3GPP TS25.331. The UE does not
reply to the RNC before the procedure is performed successfully.
For the TF control in the uplink, the OLC algorithm operates as follows:
1. Based on the integrated priority, the algorithm sorts the DCH RABs in descending order.
2. The algorithm selects the following RABs:
RABs
with the rates higher than UlDcccRateThd. For details about the parameter, see DCCC
RABs
with the lowest integrated priorities.
The number of selected RABs is specified by the UlOlcFTFRstrctRabNum parameter.

If the RNC cannot find an appropriate service, the OLC performs the next action.
3. The RNC sends the TRANSPORT FORMAT COMBINATION CONTROL message to the UE that
accesses the specified service. This message contains the following IEs:
Transport
Format Combination Set Identity: defines the available TFC that the UE can select, that is,
the restricted TFC sub-set. It is always the two TFCs corresponding to the lowest data rate.
TFC
Control Duration: defines the period the restricted TFC sub-set is to be applied. It is set to a
random value (integer multiples of 10 ms) from the range of 10 ms to 5120 ms to avoid data rate
upsizing at the same time.
After the TFC control duration expires, the UE can apply for any TFC of TFCS before the TF control.
4. If the number of times that TF control is performed exceeds UlOlcFTFRstrctTimes, the action fails.
The OLC takes the next action.
9.3.2 Switching BE Services to Common Channels

Whether the selected UEs can be switched to common channels depends on the setting of
DRA_PS_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH, DRA_HSDPA_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH, or
DRA_HSUPA_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH in the parameter DraSwitch.
For the switching of uplink BE services to common channels, if the control RTWP anti-interference
function switch (NBMCacAlgoSwitch: RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB) is turned on, the RNC checks
whether the uplink equivalent user load proportion of the cell is lower than 40%. If it is lower than 40%,
the RNC does not perform this operation.
For switching BE services to common channels, the OLC algorithm operates as follows:
1. Based on the integrated priority, the algorithm sorts all the UEs in the PS domain in descending
order.
2. The algorithm selects the UEs with the lowest integrated priorities. The number of selected UEs is
specified by TransCchUserNum. If the selection fails, the OLC takes the next action.
This function is disabled when the TransCchUserNum parameter is set to 0.
3. The OLC switches the selected UEs to common channels.

If both the selected UEs and the current cell support enhanced CELL_FACH, these UEs can be
switched to the enhanced CELL_FACH state.
9.3.3 Adjusting the Maximum FACH TX Power

The procedure for adjusting the maximum FACH transmit power is as follows:
1. Set the maximum FACH transmit power to the target maximum transmit power. The target maximum
transmit power is calculated according to the following formula:
Ptarget = Pmax - Delta
Ptarget
Pmax
is the target maximum transmit power.
is the maximum FACH transmit power (MaxFachPower).
Delta
is the FACH power reduction step (FACHPwrReduceValue).
2. If the congestion is relieved after the power adjustment, the system starts the FACH power recovery
timer, which is set to 5s. When the timer expires, the maximum FACH transmit power is increased to
the original maximum FACH transmit power if the system is always in the normal state before the
timer expires.
The preceding power adjustment is applicable to only the FACH carrying common services rather than MBMS services.
9.3.4 Releasing Some RABs

OLC Algorithm for the Release of Some RABs in the Uplink
If the Control RTWP Anti-interference algorithm switch (NBMCacAlgoSwitch:
RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB) is enabled, the RNC checks whether the uplink equivalent user load
proportion of the cell is lower than 40% before performing this operation. If it is lower than 40%, the RNC
does not perform this operation.
For the release of some RABs in the uplink, the OLC algorithm operates as follows:
1. Based on the integrated priority, the algorithm sorts all RABs including HSUPA and DCH services in
descending order.
2. The algorithm selects the RABs with the lowest integrated priorities. If the integrated priorities of
some RABs are identical, it selects the RAB with a higher rate (that is, the current rate for DCH RAB
or the GBR for HSUPA RAB) in the uplink. The number of selected RABs is specified by
UlOlcTraffRelRabNum.
3. The selected RABs are released directly.
OLC Algorithm for the Release of Some RABs in the Downlink

Some MBMS-related algorithms do not take effect on the BSC6910 because the BSC6910 does not support
MBMS-related features.
For the release of some RABs in the downlink, the OLC algorithm operates as follows:
If the SeqOfUserRel parameter is set to USER_REL, then:
1. Based on the integrated priority, the algorithm sorts all non-MBMS RABs in descending order.
2. The algorithm selects the RABs with the lowest integrated priorities. If the integrated priorities of
some RABs are identical, it selects the RAB with a higher rate (that is, the current rate for DCH RAB
or the GBR for HSDPA RAB) in the downlink. The number of selected RABs is specified by
DlOlcTraffRelRabNum.
3. The selected RABs are directly released.

4. If all non-MBMS RABs are released but congestion persists in the downlink, MBMS RABs are
selected.
If the SeqOfUserRel parameter is set to MBMS_REL, then:
1. Based on the ARP, the algorithm sorts all MBMS RABs in descending order.
2. The algorithm selects the RABs with the lowest integrated priorities. The number of selected RABs is
specified by MbmsOlcRelNum.
3. The selected RABs are directly released.
4. If all MBMS RABs are released but congestion persists in the downlink, non-MBMS RABs are
selected.
This function is disabled when the UlOlcTraffRelRabNum, DlOlcTraffRelRabNum, and MbmsOlcRelNum parameters
are set to 0.
The higher the value of UlOlcTraffRelRabNum or DlOlcTraffRelRabNum, the more the cell load decreases, which will
affect the users experience negatively.

10.1 Inter-Frequency Load Balancing
10.1.1 Network Performance
Inter-frequency load balancing based on uplink credit resource enables some UEs to be handed over to
an inter-frequency neighboring cell when the current cell is in the basic congestion state. In this way, the
admission failures due to CE resource congestion decrease.
In addition, this feature makes UEs processing PS services more likely to perform inter-frequency
handovers. This may slightly increase the PS call drop rate.
10.2 Inter-Frequency Load Balancing Based on Configurable

Load Threshold
10.2.1 System Capacity
With CLB, a heavily loaded cell can be relieved, and the resources of a lightly loaded cell can be fully
utilized, increasing the whole system capacity.

CLB improves the coverage performance of a heavily loaded cell.
The impact of CLB on network performance in different scenarios is as follows:
Macro and micro combined network using different frequencies
CLB offloads HSPA services on the macro network to the micro network. Resources of the micro network
deployed at hot spots are fully utilized and the quality of HSPA services after handovers is ensured. In
addition, the quality of CS services on the macro network is improved after the network load decreases.
Overlay network
CLB supports inter-frequency load balancing for UEs in connected mode under different RNCs in an
overlay network, enabling effective network resource utilization of different vendors. The sector capacity
is expanded, and key performance indicators (KPIs) of heavily loaded cells are improved.
When CLB is implemented between different RNCs on the overlay network, ping-pong handovers may
occur because an RNC cannot obtain the information about the load of inter-frequency neighboring cells
under the neighboring RNC. Therefore, a load evaluation algorithm has been added to evaluate the load
of inter-frequency neighboring cells. If the number of failed inter-frequency handovers during a certain
period of time exceeds a preset threshold, a penalty timer is triggered and UEs cannot be handed over
to the inter-frequency neighboring cell until the penalty timer expires. However, ping-pong handovers
may still occur because this load evaluation algorithm makes a rough estimate of the load of
inter-frequency neighboring cells.
Other scenarios
CLB is used in other scenarios the similar way the WRFD-020103 Inter-Frequency Load Balance feature
is used. The difference is that CLB can implement load balancing before a cell enters the basic
congestion state so that the traffic load can evenly be distributed among cells. CLB helps prevent a cell
from being heavily loaded or having deteriorated KPIs.

This feature redirects UEs at the cell edge or in cells with excessive

increases the RRC setup success rate. The RRC CONNECTION
REJECT messages from RRC redirections based on distance
(including inter-RAT and inter-frequency redirections) are not
considered as RRC connection setup failures. Therefore, such
rejections do not affect the RRC setup success rate.
Maintainability Call Drop Ratio
This feature redirects UEs at the cell edge or in cells with excessive

10.4 RRC Redirection for Service Steering

No impact.

During the RRC connection setup procedure, this feature performs inter-frequency or inter-RAT service
steering and load sharing based on the RRC connection setup cause. This feature performs load sharing
with the consideration of the signal quality, load, and the redirection percentage of the cell the UE
accesses. This feature also affects the access delay of UEs that are to be redirected to inter-frequency
or inter-RAT cells.
10.5 FACH Power Control of RRC phase

The FACH power control of RRC phase function increases the FACH transmit power. As a result, the
amount of power available for dedicated channels decrease. This reduces downlink cell/UE throughput
and the R99 UE admission rate.
Draft A (2013-01-30)

10-2
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
10 Network Impact
Suppose that the cell transmit power is 20 W, the P-CPICH transmit power is 10% of the cell transmit
power, and the FACH transmit power is 1 dB. If an additional 2 dB power is to be added, the amount of
power available for the dedicated channel may be insufficient and five AMR UEs may not be admitted
into this cell.

This function increases the downlink FACH power and therefore UEs can receive messages more
accurately. When RRC connection setups fail due to Uu-interface synchronization timeout, this function
increases the RRC connection setup success rate. How well the RRC connection setup success rate
can be improved is determined by coverage and interference in the live network. If the contribution of
weak coverage to RRC connection setup failures is small or if interference in the live network is strong,
the improvement of the RRC connection setup success rate is not noticeable.
The smaller the increased FACH power MaxFachPower, the less noticeable the improvement of the
RRC connection setup success rate.
The larger the increased FACH transmit power, the stronger the interference. In this situation,
downlink coverage will deteriorate, which may increase the call drop rate.
10.6 Anti-Imbalance of the Different Antenna

10.6.1 System Capacity and Network Performance
This function has the following impacts on system capacity and network performance.
This function corrects the measured RTWP and uplink load in the following scenarios:
Imbalanced
interference
The corrected RTWP and uplink load is smaller than the original values.
a. When interference between antennas is imbalanced and the RTWP-based anti-interference
function is disabled (RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is
cleared), this function increases the access success rate if an uplink power resource admission
fails. Ultimately, this function increases the number of online UEs.
b. When interference between antennas is imbalanced and the RTWP-based anti-interference
function is enabled (RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch is selected),
this function reduces the admission error rate. This reduces the number of online UEs and the
call drop rate.
c. When services are being processed, this function improves HSUPA throughout if data source is

and the call drop rate increases.
d. The decrease of the RTWP reduces RACH receive power. This improves uplink Uu-interface
capacity and increases the access delay.

a. When the RTWP-based anti-interference function is disabled (RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB under

the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is cleared), this function does not take effect.
b. When the RTWP-based anti-interference function is enabled (RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB under
the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is selected), the measured uplink load is corrected (the
corrected value is larger than the original value). This reduces the admission error rate and
improves uplink coverage. As a result, the call drop rate is reduced. In addition, the access
success rate and the number of online UEs decrease.
c. When services are being processed, the measured uplink load is corrected (the corrected value

feature is activated. This feature improves uplink coverage and reduces the call drop rate.
However, the HSUPA throughput is also reduced.
The RTWP-based anti-interference function takes effect only when ALGORITHM_FOURTH under the
NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch parameter is selected.
When several HSUPA UEs are going to transmit a large amount of data simultaneously, the rise over
thermal (RoT) will become high due to HSUPA scheduling. In this case, the RTWPs of two antennas
are almost the same and the gains provided by this function are not noticeable because the corrected
RTWP is almost the same as the original RTWP.
Although this function increases the NodeB CPU usage, the increase is not noticeable because the
load on a CPU with a 1 GHz main frequency is only 0.001%.

10.7 WRFD-150236 Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of

PCPICH
This feature reduces the P-CPICH transmit power when downlink non-HSPA load in a cell is heavy. This
reduces power consumption of common channels and cell coverage. In this situation, cell-edge UEs are
handed over to neighboring cells, which reduces downlink non-HSPA load and increases downlink
capacity of the current cell.
For example, the value for PCPICHPower is 10% of the value for MaxTxPower and the maximum
P-CPICH power reduction is 3 dB. If downlink non-HSPA load in a cell is extremely high and the number
of UEs in this cell is large, this feature saves 10% to 15% of downlink non-HSPA cell power. The saved
power can admit 10% to 15% extra UEs or increase at least 5% of the average cell throughput.
The P-CPICH transmit power can be higher than the value for PCPICHPower. In this case, cell
coverage will increase but the available HSDPA power will decrease. This reduces average HSDPA
throughput if there are data transmission requirements.

This feature reduces the P-CPICH transmit power when downlink non-HSPA load in a cell is heavy. As
result, downlink non-HSPA cell load is reduced. When downlink power resources are congested, this
feature increases the access success rate during busy hours.
However, after the reduction of P-CPICH transmit power, cell coverage shrinks, leading to coverage
holes. Coverage holes cause the access success rate and the call drop rate for cell-edge UEs to
deteriorate. This increases the number of handovers. In multi-carrier scenarios, cells that have the same
coverage now may have different coverage. This affects the camping policy and increases the
blind-handover failure probability (Blind handovers here include blind-handover-based DRD and LDR
inter-frequency handovers). Ultimately, the performance of service steering will be affected.
The impact on network performance is determined by the actual cell coverage and the distribution of
cell-edge UEs.
If cell coverage is good and the number of cell-edge UEs is small, handovers and the call drop rate will
decrease.
If cell coverage is bad and the number of cell-edge UEs is large, handovers and the call drop rate will
increase.
After the power adjustment, if more cells that have the same coverage now have different coverage, the
probability of blind-handover failures will increase.

11.9.3 Performance Monitoring

Check the values of the cell-level counters VS.MeanTCP and VS.MeanRTWP of two or more cells where
load balancing has been implemented. If the counter values are close, load balancing is successful for
these cells.
Check the cell-level KPI Inter-Frequency Hard Handover Success Ratio after CLB is activated. If the KPI
does not decrease significantly, the inter-frequency handovers for load balancing are normal after CLB is
used.
11.9.4 Parameter Optimization

The effect of CLB is affected by the threshold settings for different resources. After CLB is activated,
regulate the following thresholds based on the operator's requirements and load balancing effect:
UlPwrCSClbTrigThd, UlPwrPSClbTrigThd, DlPwrCSClbTrigThd, DlPwrPSClbTrigThd,
CellSfCSClbTrigThd, CellSfPSClbTrigThd, UlCreditCSClbTrigThd, UlCreditPSClbTrigThd,
DlCreditCSClbTrigThd, and DlCreditPSClbTrigThd. If the call drop rate significantly increases or the
inter-frequency handover success rate decreases, raise the preceding thresholds or lower the
MaxUserNumforCLBIFHO parameter value to reduce the number of inter-frequency handovers.

If
RedirBandInd is set to DependOnNCell, you do not need to set ReDirUARFCNUplinkInd,

Inter-frequency redirection based on distance does not select the inter-frequency neighboring cell under the DRNC as the
target cell. DRD and redirection at RRC connection setup do not select the inter-frequency neighboring cell that uses a
different frequency band from the cell where the RRC connection is to access.
1. Start Uu Interface Trace on the RNC LMT. Under Uu Message Type, select
RRC_RRC_CONN_REJ.
2. Move a UE to a position where it has a distance from the NodeB but can still detect pilot signals.
Initiate a service using the UE, such as cs service.
The distance between the UE and the NodeB must be larger than InterFreqRedirDelayThd x 78.125 m/chip x 3 chips.
3. View the Uu interface tracing data.

If
the RRC CONNECTION REJECT message includes the redirectionInfo IE and this IE contains
frequencyInfo (information about the cell), as shown in Figure 11-1, the RNC has redirected the UE
to an inter-frequency neighboring cell and this feature has been activated.
If
the RRC CONNECTION REJECT message does not include the redirectionInfo IE, this feature
has not been activated.

You can use the counter VS.RRC.Rej.Redir.Dist.IntraRat to monitor Inter-Frequency Redirection Based
on Distance. If the value of this counter remains steady or keeps increasing, this feature is functioning
properly.
You can check the propagation delay of the UEs in a cell to learn whether this feature is properly
triggered. If the value of the counter VS.RRC.Rej.Redir.Dist.IntraRat is not in accordance with the
propagation delay of the UEs in a cell, the feature is not functioning properly. For example, the counter
VS.RRC.Rej.Redir.Dist.IntraRat has a large value but the propagation delay of the UEs in a cell indicates
that this large number of redirections is not reasonable. If this happens, deactivate this feature.

the VS.RRC.FailConnEstab.NoReply counter in the live network. The RRC connection setup
cause that has the largest contribution to RRC connection setup failures is the RRC connection setup
cause for enabling this function.
Determine
the RRC connection setup cause whose RRC connection setup success rate needs to be
improved in the live network.
Determine target cells for enabling this function:
Step 1 Determine cells that require this feature when the following requirements are met:
Most RRC connection setup failures are caused by the reason of the VS.RRC.FailConnEstab.NoReply
counter. That is, most RRC connection setup failures are caused by RRC connection setup timeout.
Step 2 Select cells where downlink weak coverage has large contribution to RRC connection setup
failures. For example, the contribution is larger than 50%. Collect the RRC setup success rate
corresponding to the RRC connection setup cause. Compare the effect of this feature on the
RRC setup success rate.
Step 3 Select cells where RRC and RAB establishment failures are caused by downlink power resource
congestion. Enable this function for these cells with caution. If the number of RRC and RAB
establishment failures caused by downlink power resource congestion is large, you are not
advised to enable this function.
You can monitor the following counters to determine the number of RRC connection setup and RAB
setup failures caused by downlink power resource congestion:

You can perform either of the two operations in step 1 to trigger this function.
Step 2 Configure the RRC connection setup cause that requires this function and the corresponding
threshold.
Run the RNC MML command SET URRCESTCAUSE. In this step, set Cause of RRC connection
establishment and FACH Power Increase Ec/No Threshold to appropriate values.
Step 3 Modify parameters related to the FACH transmit power. For existing cells: Run the RNC MML
command MOD UFACH. In this step, set Cell ID, FACH ID, Max Transmit Power of FACH, and
Offset between Initial and Max FACHPower to appropriate values.
Step 4 For new cells: Run the RNC MML command ADD UFACH. In this step, set Cell ID, FACH ID,
Max Transmit Power of FACH, and Offset between Initial and Max FACHPower to
appropriate values.
You are only required to modify the Max Transmit Power of FACH and Offset between Initial and Max FACHPower of
the transmission channels whose Bearing Signal Indication is set to TRUE. You can use FACH ID to locate these

Perform the following steps to monitor the performance of this function:
Step 1 Query the RRC connection setup success rate corresponding to the RRC connection setup
cause.
Check whether the RRC connection setup success rate increases after the enabling of this function. Use
the following formula to calculate the RRC connection setup success rate:
RRC connection setup success rate = (Number of successful RRC connection setups/RRC connection
setup requests) * 100%
If the RRC connection setup success rate decreases after the enabling of this function, downlink power
resources in a cell may be congested. In this situation, roll back the settings of the MaxFACHPower and

Step 3 Query the RAB connection setup success rate.

If the RAB connection setup success rate corresponding to the RRC connection setup cause decreases,
collect the Ec/N0 distribution of the RACH for services that experience RAB connection setup failures
during the RRC connection setup procedure. Then compare the Ec/N0 distribution with the value of the
FACHPower4RRCRepEcNoThd parameter. Calculate the times when the Ec/N0 of the RACH is
smaller than the value of this parameter. Compare the calculated result with the increased successful
RRC connection setups. If the two numbers are almost the same, the performance of this function is as
expected. The reason for comparing the two numbers is that although RRC connection setups for UEs in
weak coverage areas may succeed, RAB connection setups may fail.
Step 4 Query the call drop rate in the live network.
The call drop rate is calculated as follows:
CS service drop ratio (cell) =
[VS.RAB.AbnormRel.CS/(VS.RAB.AbnormRel.CS + VS.RAB.NormRel.CS)]*100%
PS call drop ratio (cell) =
[VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS/(VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS + VS.RAB.NormRel.PS)]*100%
If the call drop rate deteriorates, you can adjust the power increase for the MaxFACHPower parameter
to reduce the maximum FACH transmit power.

11.15 Anti-Imbalance of the Different Antenna

11.15.1 When to Use Anti-Imbalance of the Different Antenna
Use the anti-imbalance of the different antenna function in multi-antenna scenarios to address shrinking
uplink coverage and reduced uplink capacity caused by imbalanced antenna interference or invalid
antennas.
Imbalanced antenna interference is caused by improper installation or aging antennas.
It is recommended that this function be enabled for multi-antenna scenarios with intermodulation
interference and invalid antennas.
Do not enable this function for multi-RRU cells, including cells with the 0.5/0.5 configuration mode, the
distributed sector configuration mode, or independent demodulation of signals from multiple RRUs in
one cell. Multi-RRU cells are often used for highway and tunnel coverage.

Perform the following steps to determine whether there is intermodulation interference or invalid
antennas in a cell.
Step 1 Observe the values of the following counters:
Draft A (2013-01-30)

11-43
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
On the NodeB side:

VS.MeanRTWP.Locell.SectorEqm.Ant0
NOTE
Each of the preceding counters indicates the mean RTWP of a specific antenna.
On the RNC side: VS.MeanRTWP

NOTE
The preceding counter indicates the mean RTWP of a cell.
Step 2 Determine whether there is intermodulation interference or invalid antennas.
Intermodulation interference
Intermodulation interference exists when the following conditions are true:
The
difference between the values of the preceding counters on the NodeB side is equal to or larger
than 6 dB.
The
value of the preceding counter on the RNC side is extremely high.
In normal conditions, the RTWP is 6 dB higher than the background noise (106 dBm). The
background noise varies according to networks.
Invalid antennas
Some antennas may become invalid if the RTWPs of these antennas are equal or near to the
background noise while the RTWPs of other antennas are larger than the background noise.
Step 3 If the difference between the values of the preceding counters on the NodeB side is equal to or
larger than 6 dB, check the settings of radio frequency (RF) channel-related parameters (such as
attenuation or RTWP initial rectification value) to ensure that the difference is not caused by
improper parameter settings or faulty tower mounted amplifiers (TMAs). Then determine whether
to enable the anti-imbalance of the different antenna function. Enable this function only when
high RTWPs are caused by intermodulation interference.

antennas become invalid and the WRFD-020136 Anti-Interference Scheduling for HSUPA feature is
activated.
If the average HSUPA throughput does not increase when antenna interference is imbalanced, the live
network may not meet the requirements in section 11.15.1 "When to Use Anti-Imbalance of the

After
this function is enabled, the access success rate increases when antenna interference is
imbalanced and the RTWP-based anti-interference function is disabled; the access success rate
decreases when antenna interference is imbalanced and the RTWP-based anti-interference function
is enabled.
After
this function is enabled, the access success rate decreases when some antennas become
invalid and the RTWP-based anti-interference function is enabled.
Monitor the CS Service Drop Ratio and PS Call Drop Ratio KPIs to observe whether the call drop rate
decreases.
After
this function is enabled, the call drop rate increases when antenna interference is imbalanced
and the RTWP-based anti-interference function is disabled; the call drop rate decreases when
antenna interference is imbalanced and the RTWP-based anti-interference function is enabled.
After
this function is enabled, the call drop rate decreases when some antennas become invalid and
the WRFD-020136 Anti-Interference Scheduling for HSUPA feature is activated.
If throughput increases, coverage will shrink and the call drop rate will deteriorate. You are advised to

11.19 WRFD-150236 Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of

PCPICH
11.19.1 When to Use Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of PCPICH
Use this feature in the following scenarios:
There are multiple carriers in urban areas.
There is a large number of UEs in a carrier and downlink non-HSPA power resources are more easily
congested in this carrier.
You can activate this feature to reduce the call drop rate in multi-carrier scenarios where the current area
is continuously covered by carriers of the GSM or UMTS network. If a carrier covers continuous areas,
you are not advised to activate this feature because the activation of this feature reduces coverage. You
can activate this feature for a carrier that carries services. It is recommended that carriers enabled with
this feature be configured with the coverage-based handover function so that UEs can be handed over
to carriers covering continuous areas.
You are not advised to activate this feature if the P-CPICH transmit power configured for a cell is low.

Collect the following information before activating this feature:
Continuous coverage by multiple carriers
Draft A (2013-01-30)

11-59
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
Before activating this feature, ensure that the current area is continuously covered by a carrier or
several carriers. If not, coverage holes will occur, causing the handover success rate and call drop rate
to deteriorate.
Network coverage
Obtain the coverage of carriers that are to be activated with this feature. If cell coverage shrinks when
the P-CPICH transmit power is within the adjustment scope, coverage holes will occur. In this situation,
you must estimate the impact of coverage holes on network performance to determine whether to
activate this feature. If the value of the KPI Soft Handover Overhead is high (higher than 30%), cell
coverage is good.
P-CPICH power in a cell

Obtain the P-CPICH power configured for the current cell before activating this feature. If the
configured P-CPICH power is low (For example, the proportion of PCPICHPower to MaxTxPower is
lower than 5%), the gains provided by this feature are small but the negative impact of this feature is
great. In this case, you are not advised to activate this feature.
Number of UEs in a cell

The gains provided by this feature are noticeable only when there is a large number of UEs in the cell.
Obtain the number of UEs in this cell by querying the value of the VS.CellDCHUEs counter.
Non-HSPA power load in a cell

This feature reduces the P-CPICH transmit power only when the downlink non-HSPA power load in
this cell is heavy. Before activating this feature, you are required to estimate the downlink non-HSPA
power load based on the linear value of the difference between the VS.MeanTCP.NonHS counter and
the MaxTxPower parameter. If the load is heavy, downlink non-HSPA power load in this cell is heavy.

Take the following measures to optimize parameters for this feature:
If the value of the VS.CellBreath.CPICHMin.Time counter is large when the P-CPICH transmit power
is set to the smallest value and counters such as the call drop rate does not deteriorate, you can
reduce the value of the MinPCPICHPower parameter so that the P-CPICH transmit power can be
further adjusted.
If the call drop rate deteriorates noticeably after feature activation, you can increase the value of the
PcpichPwrUpDlLoadState or PcpichPwrDownDlLoadState parameter so that the P-CPICH
transmit power can be more difficult to reduce. For example, you can change the value of the
PcpichPwrDownDlLoadState parameter from DlLoadedState to DlHeavyState.
If the number of P-CPICH transmit power adjustments (indicated by the VS.CellBreath.CPICHUp or

VS.CellBreath.CPICHDown counter) is large and the number of uplink and downlink adjustments is
almost the same, downlink non-HSPA power load state changes frequently. In this situation, you can
increase the value of the IntraFreqLdbPeriodTimerLen parameter or reduce the value of the
PCPICHPowerPace parameter to reduce the number of P-CPICH transmit power adjustments.

The LDR takes the actions in the
preset sequence and judges whether
each action is successful. If an action
is unsuccessful, the LDR turns to the
next action. If an action is successful,
a parameter is set to NOACT, or all
the preceding actions are taken, the
downlink LDR is finished, and the
system waits for the next triggering of
the LDR.
Because each action is performed by
its algorithm module, the LDR
algorithm only selects users and
delivers control messages, the
execution result of each action can be
obtained after a delay, and the LDR
algorithm cannot wait for a long time,
so the LDR can only judge whether
the actions succeed by whether
candidate users are found.
The inter-frequency load handover
has no impact on the QoS of users
and can balance the cell load, so the
inter-frequency load handover usually
serves as the first action.
The BE service rate reduction is
effective only when the DCCC
algorithm is enabled.
