Radio Interface
BTS controls the amount of HSDPA DL transmission power, after the power for DCH, HSUPA control channels and common channels have been set up. The BTS can measure the total power, NonHSDPA power and HSDPA power. The blocking in Radio Interface gives information about the lack of radio resources. This could mean that Node B is using all the DL power what is available in order to maintain the connection for the users. Therefore admission control is denying the additional users to have the wanted service. Related to HSDPA in RAS06, all available power is allocated for HSDPA, but in RU10 HSDPA use only power it needs (due to Spectral efficient link adaption). Another reason could be the increased UL interference situation meaning that there is no room for more Ues to be connected into that particular cell. Additionally, the available (free) codes in the Channelisation Code Tree can become a key resource, especially when HSDPA and HSUPA are enabled in that cell.

HSUPA consumes both UL and DL baseband processing within the WBTS, so it's necessary to ensure that there is sufficient baseband processing resource prior to enabling HSUPA. The HSUPA baseband processing requirements are symmetric across the UL and DL directions. Additionally, DPCCH for HSPA needs one extra CE.
The minimum static allocation of 8 CE (for both UL and DL) is reserved as soon as HSUPA is enabled at a WBTS With the exception of the first 8 CEs, the CE allocation for HSUPA is dynamic. Depending upon both the number of HSUPA connections and load generated by the DCH traffic. In the CE allocation, DCH has a higher priority than HSUPA => DCH capacity requests are able to pre-empt the set of CE allocated to HSUPA (with the exception of the minimum static allocation of 8 CE).
In RU10 there is a change in CE consumption with Flexi Rel 2 BTS: with 384 kbits/s there is only 12 CE needed instead of 16 with 384 kbits/s. The other bitrates remains having same CE consumption compared to RAS06. The different scheduler types are shown in Table 4 Below is list of CE needs for common channels in Flexi BTS.
Reactive monitoring
It has been noticed that the Average CE Usage (max(UL,DL)) vs. RRC & RAB (voice) Setup failure rates due BTS and Frozen BTS of ~80% means that certain BTSs start to have RRC Setup failures due to BTS (in general these are the BTSs with less CE capacity) and due to Frozen BTS. However typically the average CE usage of ~85% means ~1% RRC/RAB (Voice) setup failures due to lack of CE. It is also possible to derive the max usage limits before the blocking starts to limit the usage. This can be evaluated by checking how the peak to average usage (Max usage - average usage) is at different average usage values in UL and DL. It has been noticed that the in UL the average usage can be up to 85% after which the 10% peak to average usage cannot be maintained in DL. CE usage can cause bottleneck for HSDPA users (UL return channel being rejected) or in terms of limiting the DL throughput (i.e. UL not supporting even the TCP akcs). 64kbps UL return channel (4 CE) seems to be enough up to ~2mbps and 16kbps is enough up to ~600kbps. Also it has bee noticed that the UL return channel allocation share is:
~30% UL 16kbps (1 CE needed) ~50% UL 64kbps (4 CE) ~10% UL 128kbps (4 CE) ~10% UL 384kbps (16 CE)
