capacity, coverage, and QoS are mutually affected
l The target of load control is to maximize the system
capacity while ensuring coverage and QoS, and provide
differentiated services for users

l Two kinds of capacity in WCDMA system:
p Hard capacity:
n Cell DL OVSF code
n Iub transport resource
n NodeB processing capability (NodeB credit)

p Soft capacity:
n Cell power (UL and DL)

Load Measurement Quantities
l The major load-related measurement quantities are as
follows:
p Uplink Received Total Wideband Power (RTWP)
p Downlink Transmitted Carrier Power (TCP)
p Non-HSPA power: TCP excluding the power used for
transmission on HSPA channels
p Provided Bit Rate (PBR) on HS-DSCH.
p Power Requirement for GBR (GBP) on HS-DSCH
p PBR on E-DCH

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page11

Load Measurement Quantities (Cont.)
p Received Scheduled E-DCH Power Share (RSEPS): power of
the E-DCH scheduling service in the serving cell
p Uplink total load: sum of R99 service load, HSUPA service
load, and control channel load
p Uplink minimum guaranteed load: sum of R99 service load,
HSUPA service load required by the HSUPA GBR, and control
channel load
n 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)

Reporting Period

1.3 Priorities Involved in Load Control

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page15

Priority
l The QoS of the services or users with low priority will be
affected by the load control algorithms first

l Three kinds of priorities involved in load control:

p User priority
p RAB integrated priority
p User integrated priority

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page16

User Priority
l
There are three levels of user priority:
p Gold (high priority), silver (middle priority) and copper (low
priority) users

Gold
User priority Gold Silver Copper User

Uplink 384kbps 128kbps 64kbps

Downlink 384kbps 128kbps 64kbps

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page17

User Priority (Cont.)
l The mapping relation between user priority and ARP is
configured in RNC by SET UUSERPRIORITY
p Typical relation between user priority and ARP:

ARP 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
User Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold Silver Silver Silver
Priority
ARP 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
User Silver Silver Copper Copper Copper Copper Copper

RAB Integrated Priority
l RAB integrated priority is mainly used in load control
algorithms

l RAB integrated priority are set according to :

p ARP
p Traffic Class
p Traffic Handling Priority (THP, only for interactive services)
p Carrier types: HSPA or DCH

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page19

Why We Need CAC?
l WCDMA is an interference limited system, after a new
service is admitted, the system load will be increased
l If a cell is high loaded, a new service will affect the QoS of
ongoing user, even result in call drop
l CAC is used to determine whether the system resources
are sufficient to accept a new user's access request or not

Downlink ENU Resource Admission
Decisions
l In the downlink, ENU-based admission decisions are made
based on the following load measurements:
p Downlink total ENU load

n ηDL,ENU = ENUDL,Total/ENUDL,Max + ηDL,CCH

p The total downlink load for preferential admission of R99
services

n ηDL,R99Prefer-ENU = ηDL,DCH_ENU + ThdHSDPAMaxGBP

Decisions (Cont.)
l For non-DC-HSDPA RABs
p Admission criteria for RRC connection setup requests
n ηDL,ENU + ΔηDL,ENU ≤ ThdDL,RRC
p If the bearer type is the DCH RAB

Downlink ENU Resource Admission
Decisions (Cont.)
l For DC/DB-HSDPA RABs
p If the bearer type is the DC-HSDPA RAB, admission control on
the DC-HSDPA RAB depends on whether the Flexible DC-
DB/HSDPA feature is enabled in the DC-HSDPA cell
p If the bearer type is the DB-HSDPA/4C-HSDPA RAB,
admission control is performed only on the primary cell. The
admission criterion is the same as that for the SC-HSDPA RAB

Power-Based Admission Algorithm 3
for RAB Setup
l Algorithm 3 is similar to algorithm 1
p The only difference is that the estimated power load increase
caused by the new service is always set to 0 in algorithm 3

l Based on the current cell load, the RNC determines whether

the cell load exceeds the threshold
p If the cell load exceeds the threshold, the RNC rejects the
access request
p If not, the RNC admits the service

Uplink Power-Based Admission
Algorithm 4 for RAB Setup
l Algorithm 4 makes admission decisions based on the total
uplink load ηUL, Actual-Total as the following formula:
p ηUL, Actual-Total = ηUL, Actual + ηUL,CCH

l RNC makes the admission decision

p ∑ ηUL, Actual-Total + ΔηUL ≤ THd

such as： UlNonCtrlThdForAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR,
UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or UlNonCtrlThdForHo

Uplink Power-Based Admission
Algorithm 4 for RAB Setup
l In DC-HSUPA cells
p For DC-HSUPA non-scheduling services, admission decisions
based on the total uplink load are made only on the primary
carrier
p For DC-HSUPA scheduling service is admitted if admission
decision based on the total uplink load is successful on the
primary or secondary carrier

NodeB Credit
l The NodeB credit resource is a concept on the RNC side. It
is referred to as the channel element (CE) on the NodeB
side
l CEs are used to measure the channel demodulation
capability of NodeBs
p CEs are classified into uplink and downlink CEs
n One uplink CE needs to be consumed by an uplink 12.2 kbit/s
voice service (SF = 64) plus 3.4 kbit/s signaling traffic
n One downlink CE needs to be consumed by a downlink 12.2 kbit/s
voice service (SF = 128) plus 3.4 kbit/s signaling traffic

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page98

Relationship Between NodeB Credit
Resources and CEs
l The relationship between NodeB credit resources and CEs
is as follows:
p In uplink, the quantity of NodeB credit resources is twice the
CE quantity
p In downlink, the quantity of NodeB credit resources equals CE
quantity

Admission Decisions (Cont.)
l Handover Service Requests
p Admission succeeds if the available credit resources of the
local cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB are sufficient for
the service to be admitted

l PS Service/CS Service (Non-AMR Service) Requests

p The RNC must ensure that the available credit resources of the
local cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB exceed the
reserved credit resources upon admitting a new service
