2 Overview
Overview
2.1 Background
The proportion of video services on a network is increasing continuously. When the cell load is
heavy, user experience with video playback deteriorates. For example, the video initial buffering
time is extended, and the number of video freezes increases. The Video Service Rate Adaption
feature reduces the video buffering time and the number of video freezes to improve user
experience.
When a considerable quantity of download services, such as P2P download, FTP download, and
HTTP download, are provided in a cell, these download services affect user experience with
high-priority services in the cell, such as web browsing, video playback, and over the top (OTT)
services. The Busy-Hour Download Rate Control feature decreases the priority of download
services, thereby reducing the resource preemption of download services on high-priority
services and improving user experience with high-priority services.
2.2 Introduction
The Busy-Hour Download Rate Control and Video Service Rate Adaption features rely on a
service awareness device deployed in the evolved packet core (EPC) or a third-party service
awareness device. The service awareness device identifies download services and video services
and sets differentiated services code points (DSCPs) in the service packets based on the
identification results. The eNodeB parses these DSCPs to obtain the identification results and
performs differentiated QoS guarantee for download and video services.
Using the service awareness device, the Video Service Rate Adaption feature identifies HTTPbased video services and allocates required bandwidth to these services. This ensures smooth
video playback and improves user experience.
DSCP
The service awareness device sets DSCPs based on service type identification results. The
eNodeB parses the DSCPs to obtain the identification results.

2 Overview
SGBR
SGBR is short for service guaranteed bit rate, which is defined by Huawei. The SGBR guarantees
the rate of video services on non-GBR bearers and increases the priorities for video services
whose rates are lower than the SGBR.
SMBR
SMBR is short for service maximum bit rate, which is defined by Huawei. The SMBR controls
the rate of download services on non-GBR bearers and decreases the priorities for download
services whose rates have exceeded the SMBR. When a cell has sufficient resources and the
SMBR is set to a small value, the download service rate may exceed the SMBR.
2.3 Benefits
After the Busy-Hour Download Rate Control feature is enabled, the rate of download services
is restricted during busy hours to spare air interface resources for high-priority services and
improve user experience with high-priority services.
Enabling the Video Service Rate Adaption feature reduces the video buffering time, guarantees
the video service rate, and reduces the number of video freezes.

Technical Description
3.1 Introduction
Operators' networks provide diversified services. These services have different experience
requirements. Besides, operators are transforming from pipeline operations to experienceoriented operations. DSCP-based service differentiation is fundamental to experience-oriented
operations, and Video Service Rate Adaption and Busy-Hour Download Rate Control features
are specific implementation of service differentiation.
3.2 Principles
3.2.1 Service Type Identification and DSCP Setting
Operators integrate a service awareness device into the S-GW/P-GW or deploy a third-party
service awareness device for service type identification. After identifying service types, the
service awareness device sets the DSCPs in service packets to different values based on the
identification results. DSCPs are in the IP headers of service packets, as shown in Figure 3-1.

eRAN
DSCP-based Service Experience Guarantee Feature
Parameter Description
3 Technical Description
NOTE
After the Video Service Rate Adaption and Busy-Hour Download Rate Control features are enabled:
l Operators need to configure DSCPs for services on the eNodeB. The configured DSCP values and
corresponding service types must be the same as those configured on the service awareness device.
For example, if the service awareness device identifies a video service and sets the DSCP to 40, the
DSCP value 40 must be configured for video services on the eNodeB.
l If DSCPs are not configured for services on the eNodeB or the DSCP configuration on the eNodeB is
different from the DSCP configuration on the service awareness device, the eNodeB cannot map the
DSCPs in received service packets onto priority queues and the packets are put into priority queue 0
by default.
If the DSCP value of service packets is 0, the eNodeB cannot map the DSCPs in received service
packets onto priority queues and the packets are put into priority queue 0 by default.
l In RAN sharing scenarios, it is required that operators configure the same or totally different DSCPs
on their separate service awareness devices. For example, if operator A configures the DSCP value 40
for video services and the DSCP value 10 for download services, operator B is allowed to configure
the DSCP value 42 for video services and the DCSP value 12 for download services. If operator A
configures the DSCP value 40 for video services, operator B is not allowed to configure the DSCP
value 40 for download services.

a bearer. MAC scheduling implements scheduling among bearers. Figure 3-2 shows the overall
scheduling scheme.
Figure 3-2 Differentiated scheduling scheme
PDCP-based differentiated queue scheduling involves eight queues, for which weights can be
set by specifying the values of the SERVICEDIFFSETTING.QueueWeight0 to
SERVICEDIFFSETTING.QueueWeight7 parameters. In PDCP-based differentiated queue
scheduling, the eNodeB dynamically calculates the overall service weight based on the queue
weight and queue rate. The overall service weight has an impact on the MAC scheduling weight.
The scheduling priority factors (indicated by STANDARDQCI.DlschPriorityFactor) carried
by each non-GBR service are different. Therefore, the priorities for different services are
calculated by the following formula: STANDARDQCI.DlschPriorityFactor x Overall service
weight. In practical use, operators may use different non-GBR bearers to implement the QoS
for gold, silver, and bronze subscribers. The product of the overall service weight and scheduling
priority factors must be considered during service planning to check whether the product meets
the QoS requirements of operators on subscribers.

parameter is set to ON(ON), phase-based service rate guarantee is enabled. The following
describes initial acceleration and normal-rate guarantee.
Initial Acceleration
When a video is opened, the initial service rate is low and it takes some time before the video
playback starts. To accelerate the initial video download rate and reduce the video buffering
time, the eNodeB increases the scheduling weight for video services so that the video download
rate soon reaches the target rate (SGBR 1) in the first phase shown in Figure 3-3. When a video
stream initially starts, the eNodeB uses the first-phase QoS policy specified by the
IPSERVICEQOS.FirQosPolicyId parameter and accelerates the service rate for a duration
specified by the IPSERVICEQOS.FirQosPolicyTimeLength parameter. The
IPSERVICEQOS.FirQosPolicyTimeLength parameter can be adjusted based on the
acceleration effect, and you are advised to set this parameter to 8s. If the initial video download
takes a long time, increase the value of the IPSERVICEQOS.FirQosPolicyTimeLength or
QOSPOLICY.DlSgbr parameter for initial acceleration. It is recommended that the
QOSPOLICY.DlSgbr parameter be set to a value two times of the video bitrate for initial
acceleration.
You are advised not to set the IPSERVICEQOS.FirQosPolicyTimeLength parameter to an
excessively large value to prevent waste of radio resources. Similarly, you are advised not to set
the SGBR to an excessively large value for the normal-rate guarantee phase to prevent waste of
radio resources.
Normal-Rate Guarantee
After initial acceleration, the eNodeB uses the second-phase QoS policy specified by the
IPSERVICEQOS.SecQosPolicyId parameter to ensure the service rate. When the service rate
is less than SGBR 2 shown in Figure 3-3, the eNodeB increases the scheduling weight for the
bearer carrying the video service. When the service rate reaches or exceeds SGBR 2, the eNodeB
decreases the scheduling weight to prevent excessive bandwidth usage. If the resources are
sufficient, the eNodeB ensures that the service rate is not less than SGBR 2. Admission control
is not performed based on SGBR 2, which is not absolutely guaranteed.
It is recommended that the QOSPOLICY.DlSgbr parameter be set to a value 1.1 to 1.2 times
of the video bitrate for normal-rate guarantee.
NOTE
Different types of video services have different requirements for resolution and code formats and therefore
requires different video bitrates. If the service awareness device can differentiate video bitrates, it is
recommended that the service awareness device set different DSCPs for video services of different bitrates
so that different SGBRs can be configured for video services of different bitrates. If the service awareness
device cannot differentiate video bitrates, it is recommended that DlSgbr be set based on the large video
bitrates used by OTT video websites.

In Figure 3-4, the SMBR is set to a value close to or slightly below the maximum of the busyhour average download service rates achieved before the Busy-Hour Download Rate Control
feature is enabled. Before the Busy-Hour Download Rate Control feature is enabled, the
download service rate fluctuates around the SMBR, as indicated by line 1. After the Busy-Hour
Download Rate Control feature is enabled, the eNodeB decreases the scheduling weight for the
download service when the download service rate exceeds the SMBR. As a result, the download
service rate also decreases, as indicated by line 2.
Figure 3-5 Download service rate control (2)
In Figure 3-5, the SMBR is set to an excessively small value, for example, a value less than
30% of the maximum of the busy-hour average download service rates achieved before the BusyHour Download Rate Control feature is enabled. Before the Busy-Hour Download Rate Control
feature is enabled, the download service rate is about two times the SMBR, as indicated by line
3. After the Busy-Hour Download Rate Control feature is enabled, the download service rate
decreases when the download service rate exceeds the SMBR but is still greater than the SMBR,
as indicated by line 4.

Network Performance
This feature increases the scheduling weight for video services, ensuring that the video service
rate approximates the SGBR. When the amount of downlink services required by various types
of services in a cell is greater than the available amount of downlink resources in the cell, this
feature decreases the rates of other non-GBR services and increases the average GBR service
delay without affecting the GBR. When the amount of downlink services required by various
types of services in a cell is less than the available amount of downlink resources in the cell, this
feature does not affect other types of services.
Enabling the Video Service Rate Adaption feature reduces the video buffering time, guarantees
the video service rate, and reduces the number of video freezes.
For example, cell congestion is simulated for a cell for which the first-phase SGBR is set to 2.5
Mbit/s. In the cell, there are three UEs separately performing FTP download, P2P download,
and video services. After the Video Service Rate Adaption feature is enabled, the initial video
download delay decreases by 35%.

It is recommended that average busy-hour single-user throughput in a cell be used if the bitrate
of video on a network is unavailable.
(Optional) Collect service key quality indicator (KQI) information.
If the operator's EPC is capable of KQI evaluation or an independent KQI evaluation device is
deployed, use the related EPC device or the KQI evaluation device to obtain video KQIs, such
as video stream initial buffering time and decrease in the video freezes in a cell, and use the
video KQIs to determine whether to use this feature and to evaluate the feature gain.
If the operator's network is not capable of KQI evaluation, drive test is used. By doing this, video
services are performed on UEs, the video play situation is observed to record the following items:
interval between video start to video image display, video stall times. Measures such as screen
recording and videotaping can be used to facilitate statistics and analysis.

Using the CME to Perform Batch Configuration for Newly Deployed eNodeBs
Enter the values of the parameters listed in Table 6-3 in a summary data file, which also contains
other data for the new eNodeBs to be deployed. Then, import the summary data file into the
Configuration Management Express (CME) for batch configuration.
For detailed instructions, see "Creating eNodeBs in Batches" in the initial configuration guide
for the eNodeB, which is available in the eNodeB product documentation.
The summary data file may be a scenario-specific file provided by the CME or a customized
file, depending on the following conditions:
l
The managed objects (MOs) in Table 6-3 are contained in a scenario-specific summary
data file. In this situation, set the parameters in the MOs, and then verify and save the file.
Some MOs in Table 6-3 are not contained in a scenario-specific summary data file. In this
situation, customize a summary data file to include the MOs before you can set the
parameters.

Compare the recorded two values of the L.Thrp.bits.DL.Pri.6 counter and the two
throughput values to check whether the traffic volume and throughput have increased.
6.
If Huawei EPC devices are used, you can evaluate the feature gain by checking whether
the KQIs indicating the video stream initial buffering time and the number of video freezes
have decreased.
Turn on the switch for the Video Service Rate Adaption feature.
