Th Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) supports four traffic classes:

For Circuit Switched (CS) conversational services, the channel transmits voice signals at
a certain rate (for example, 12.2 kbit/s) during a conversation and only transmits Silence
Descriptors (SIDs) at intervals when there is no conversation.

For Packet Switched (PS) interactive and background services, such as web browsing,
there is data transmitted during data downloading. After a web page has been
downloaded, and when the user is reading the page, however, there is very little data to

3.1 Iub Overbooking Key Principles
Iub Overbooking Key Principles provides information on the activity factors, GBR for PS BE
services, the transmission bandwidth for Iub overbooking, the different transmission priorities,
congestion detection, and the flow control.
3.1.1 Voice Service Capacity and Congestion Probability of Iub
Overbooking
The service behavior of voice service is about 50%. That is, at a given moment of a
conversational situation, data is usually transmitted either on the uplink (UL) or the downlink
(DL) channel.
Without Iub overbooking (the activity factor is 100%), one E1 supports about 54 users with
Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) at 12.2 kbit/s. After the Iub overbooking is introduced, when the
activity factor is set to 70%, the E1 supports up to 77 users with AMR at 12.2 kbit/s. In this
case, the congestion probability is only 1.1E-4. Compared with the target Block Error Rate
(BLER) of voice service, 1E-3, the quality deterioration caused by congestion is negligible.
For the AMR service at 12.2 kbit/s, the capacity and congestion probability on one E1 are
listed in Table 3-1.
Table 3-1 Voice service capacity and congestion probability of Iub overbooking

Behavior

100% 54 0.00E+00 0%
90% 60 5.20E-12 10%
77% 70 8.30E-07 23%
70% 77 1.10E-04 30%

60% 90 2.20E-02 40%
50%
54% 100 1.80E-01 46%


The smaller the activity factor is set, the more users can access the network. Thus, the usage of the Iub
transmission resources can be increased. The congestion probability, however, is also higher. Therefore,
the activity factor needs to be set appropriately to get trade-off between capacity and congestion
probability.

3.1.2 PS Service Capacity and Congestion Probability of Iub
Overbooking
Without Iub overbooking, only a limited number of BE services can access the network. Since
the available bandwidth is occupied by the accessed BE services, new PS services cannot be
admitted, even if there is no data transmitted for the accessed services. Although Dynamic
Channel Configuration Control (DCCC) is available for dynamic channel configuration, the
bandwidth usage is still low, that is, lower than 50%.
Iub overbooking enables statistical multiplexing of transmission bandwidth, thus allowing
admission of more PS services and achieving better utilization of the transmission bandwidth.
For example, one E1 supports up to three PS users with a DL rate of 384 kbit/s and a UL rate
of 64 kbit/s without Iub overbooking. With Iub overbooking, when the service behavior is
10% and the activity factor is 17%, eighteen PS users (DL: 384 kbit/s; UL: 64 kbit/s) can be
supported. Here, the congestion probability is 9.8%.
For the PS service, the capacity and congestion probability on one E1 is shown in Table 3-2.

Since the service behavior for actual PS services is not fixed, the congestion probability may vary
after bandwidth admission. In this situation, congestion detection and flow control are applied.
To ensure that the maximum number of users with the minimum number of activity request to use
PS BE services is able to access the network, and to prevent resource shortage, GBR is introduced,
and three user levels (gold, silver, and copper) are available for user priority differentiation. The
services configured with GBR are usually admitted on the basis of GBR. Therefore, the activity
factors of these services are usually set to 100%.

GBR, see Admission Control.

When the factor table configuration is executed without using the ADD FACTORTABLE command,
the default active factor table is available. The default factor table can be modified using the SET
DEFAULTFACTORTABLE command.
The factor table is used when an adjacent mapping is added or modified, and the parameter
involved is Factor Table Index.
The GBR for the BE services can be configured. The parameters for GBR are as follows:

3.1.4 Transmission Priority of Iub Overbooking
The RNC provides different priorities for different services on the Iub interface. Videophone
or voice is transmitted with high priority and PS data with low priority.
By this means, when the congestion occurs in Iub transmission, the quality of the videophone
or voice does not deteriorate.

3.2 Iub Overbooking Flow Control Algorithms
Iub Overbooking Flow Control Algorithms describes two flow control algorithms, namely,
flow control algorithm 1 and flow control algorithm 2. The two algorithms are applied to the
congestion that is caused by Iub overbooking.
3.2.1 Flow Control Algorithm 1 for Iub Overbooking
Flow control algorithm 1 for Iub overbooking is based on the Radio Link Control (RLC)
retransmission ratio, and is available for all Iub interface boards.
The procedure of flow control algorithm 1 for Iub overbooking is as follows:
Step 1 Configure relative parameters:

For R99 BE services, set the sub-parameter IUB OVERBOOKING SWITCH of
Channel class algorithm switch to ON by using the SET CORRMALGOSWITCH
command.

For HSDPA BE services, set the sub-parameter
HSDPA_FLOW_CONTROL_SWITCH of Hspa algorithm switch to ON by using
the SET CORRMALGOSWITCH command.
Step 2 The RNC starts monitoring the retransmission ratio of the RLC Protocol Data Units (PDUs)
periodically. The monitoring period is 1000ms. The RNC calculates the retransmission ratio
as shown in the following formula:
F
n
= (1 a) x F
m
+ a x M
n

F
n
: the retransmission ratio to be calculated

F
m
: the retransmission ratio calculated previously

n = m + 1

M
n
: the retransmission ratio measured currently

a = 0.5
Step 3 When the retransmission ratio is higher than Event A threshold [0.1%] in specified
consecutive periods, whose length is 2 x monitoring period 1000ms, event A is triggered.

For R99 BE services, the RNC reduces the current transmission rate, and the new
transmission rate is current transmission rate x 50%.

For HSDPA BE services, the RNC reduces the current transmission rate, and the new
transmission rate is the current transmission rate x 50%.
After event A is triggered, there is a pending time period, during which the RNC stops
monitoring the retransmission ratio. The length of the pending time is one monitoring period
1000ms.
Step 4 When the retransmission ratio is lower than Event B threshold [0.1%] in specified
consecutive periods, whose length is 14 x monitoring period 5000ms, event B is triggered.

For R99 BE services, the RNC increases the current transmission rate, and the new
transmission rate is current transmission rate x 130%.

For HSDPA BE services, the RNC increases the current transmission rate, and the new
transmission rate is the current transmission rate x 130%.

After event B is triggered, there is a pending time period, during which the RNC stops
monitoring the retransmission ratio. The length of the pending time is one monitoring period
1000ms.
Figure 3-1 shows the flow chart of BE services flow control algorithm 1.

of the Iub interface, as shown in Figure 3-2.

The other parameters used in flow control algorithm 1 are as follows:

RLC mode selection

RLC AM mode parameters selection
3.2.2 Flow Control Algorithm 2 for Iub Overbooking
Flow control algorithm 2 for Iub overbooking is based on the back pressure of the interface
boards. Flow control algorithm 2 also needs to apply for the necessary licenses in accordance
with the different networking modes.
The licenses flow control algorithm 2 can apply for are as follows:

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Iub overbooking function, which is used for ATM
non-hub networking

Hub Iub overbooking function, which is used for ATM hub networking

IP Iub overbooking function, which is used for IP networking
The procedure of flow control algorithm 2 for Iub overbooking is as follows:
Step 1 The license is obtained and the Iub overbooking feature is activated.
Step 2 Relative switches are set to ON:

The parameter Flow control switch is set to ON as required, and the parameter Flow
control parameter index is associated with the thresholds for flow control of ports.
Therefore, the setting of Flow control switch is based on the ports.

For ATM networking, the ports consist of UNILINK, IMAGRP, FRALNK, VP, and OPT.
For IP networking, the ports consist of LGCPORT, PPPLNK, MPGRP, OPT, and ETHPORT.
The ATM interface boards have five queues, while the IP interface boards have six queues. For IP
interface boards, you can set the number of queues that adopt the absolute priority scheduling
algorithm (that is, resource allocation depends on the priority class to which a particular user belongs
to) by using the parameter Priority queue number. The number of the remaining queues, which is
yielded by six minus Priority queue number, adopts the Round Robin (RR) scheduling algorithm.
That is, resources are allocated recursively, priority given first to the order of the queues, then the
order of the tasks for each queue.
Step 3 The interface boards monitor the transmission buffers of the queues on the Iub interface.
Step 4 When the buffer length of a queue is greater than the congestion threshold, the queue enters
the congestion state. When a queue on the port is congested, the port becomes congested

accordingly. The interface boards send congestion signals to the concerned DPUb boards, and
the BE users of the port or the logical port (LP) enter the congestion state. The RNC
downsizes the transmission rate of the BE users to GBR x 10%.

For ATM interface boards, the four congestion thresholds are 30ms, 30ms, 30ms, 50ms.
For IP interface boards, the six congestion thresholds are 25ms, 25ms, 25ms, 25ms 50ms, 50ms.
Step 5 When the buffer length of the queue is greater than the packets discarding threshold, the RNC
starts discarding data packets in the buffer.

For ATM interface boards, the four packet discarding thresholds are 45ms, 45s, 45ms, 80ms.
For IP interface boards, the six packet discarding thresholds are 60ms, 60ms, 60ms, 60ms 80ms,
80ms.
The length of the discarded packets of queue is packet discarding threshold minus congestion
threshold.
Step 6 When the buffer length of the queue is smaller than the congestion recovery threshold, the
port is recovered if all the queues leave the congestion state. The interface boards send
congestion clearing signals to the concerned DPUb boardsand the BE users of the port or LP
leave the congestion state. The RNC recovers the transmission rate.

For ATM interface boards, the four recovery thresholds are 20ms, 20s, 20ms, 25ms.
For IP interface boards, the six recovery thresholds are 15ms, 15ms, 15ms, 15ms, 25ms, 25ms.
The length of the discarded packets of queue is packet discarding threshold minus congestion
threshold.
The recovered rate is r x 95%. r in the previous formula is the latest transmission rate of the user
prior to entering the congestion state.
Step 7 After the BE users leave the congestion state, the RNC upsizes its transmission rate every 10
ms according to the upsizing step until the BE users reach the Maximum Bit Rate (MBR). The
value of MBR is carried on the Radio Access Bearer (RAB) from the Core Network (CN).

The initial upsizing step of the transmission rate is 2000bps x SPI Factor, and the step is doubled at
intervals of 200ms.
