Load Control
2 Overview of Load Control

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 that controls 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), 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: intra-frequency Load Balancing (LDB), Load Reshuffling (LDR), and Overload
Control (OLC)
The following sections will 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 in the RNC after obtaining measurement reports from the NodeBs.
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

2-1
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
Figure 2-2 Load control function in the WCDMA system
The load control functions are described as follows:
Potential User Control (PUC)

The function of PUC is to balance traffic load between 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 cells with light load. The UEs can be in idle mode,
CELL_FACH state, CELL_PCH state, or URA_PCH state.
Intelligent Access Control (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
the Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
Call Admission Control (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 the Call Admission Control Feature Parameter Description.
Intra-frequency Load Balancing (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.
Load Reshuffling (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:
Inter-frequency
Code
BE
reshuffling
service rate reduction
AMR
voice service rate reduction
QoS
renegotiation for uncontrollable real-time services
CS
inter-RAT load handover
PS

Overload Control (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:

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, Radio Access Bearer (RAB) integrated priority,
and user integrated 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 copper (low priority). The relation between user priority and ARP can be set
by running SET UUSERPRIORITY command; the typical relation is shown 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 RAB Integrated Priority

The priority of an RAB is determined by its traffic class, ARP, and carrier type. Such a priority is called
RAB integrated priority. When resources are insufficient, services with the highest integrated priority are
preferentially processed.
The values of RAB integrated 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 User Integrated 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 user integrated priority. User
integrated priority is used in user-specific load control. For example, the selection of R99 users during
preemption, the selection of users during inter-frequency load handover for LDR, and the selection of
users during switching of BE services to common channels are performed according to the user
integrated priority.

3 Load Measurement
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
For details about the feaure WRFD-020137 Dual-Threshold Scheduling with HSUPA Interference
Cancellation, see the 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 8 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 the HSDPA Feature Parameter Description and the HSUPA
Feature Parameter Description
Provided Bit Rate (PBR) on HS-DSCH. For details about PBR, see the 3GPP 25.321.
Power Requirement for GBR (GBP) on HS-DSCH: minimum power required to ensure the GBR on
HS-DSCH
PBR on E-DCH
Received Scheduled E-DCH Power Share (RSEPS): power of the E-DCH scheduling service in the
serving cell
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 measurement procedure is shown in Figure 3-1.

In Figure 3-2:
A is the sampling value of the measurement.
B is the measurement value after layer 1 filtering.
C is the measurement value after layer 3 filtering.
C' is another measurement value (if any) for measurement evaluation.
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:
Here:
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.

GBP measurements have the same smooth window length in all related functions. The filter length for GBP measurement
is specified by the HsdpaNeedPwrFilterLen parameter.
The length of the PBR smooth filter window is specified by the HsdpaPrvidBitRateFilterLen /
HsupaPrvidBitRateFilterLen parameter.
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 of 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 (Mn) 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, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC waits for the
next RTWP measurement value.
4. 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 this threshold value, 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, sets the initial value of the filter to the
current background noise, and waits for the next RTWP measurement value.
If
the current ENU in the cell is smaller than or equal to the threshold value, 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 F n 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 Potential User Control (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 subparameter 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 Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2 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 neighboring cells
with light load.
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.

Item
Description
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/I0

- 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 4-2.

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 of service access control.
Figure 5-1 Service access control procedure
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

5-1
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
As shown in Figure 5-1, the procedure of 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
5.2.2 "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 5.2.3 "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 directed retry decision
(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:
1. Performs inter-frequency DRD to select a suitable cell for service steering or load balancing. For
details about DRD, see the Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description
2. Performs rate negotiation according to the service requested by the UE. For details, see section 5.4
"Rate Negotiation at Admission Control."
3. 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 the Call
Admission Control Feature Parameter Description.
4. Selects a suitable cell, according to the inter-frequency DRD, from the cells where no admission
attempt has been made, and then performs step 5. If all the attempts fail, the RNC performs the next
step.
5. 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.
6. 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
performs the next step.
7. Makes a queuing attempt. For details about queuing, see section 5.7 "Queuing." If the queuing is
successful, UE access is granted. If the queuing fails or is not supported, the RNC performs the next
step.
8. 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.
9. 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.

Figure 5-2 RRC connection setup procedure
After receiving an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message from the UE, the RNC performs the RRC
redirection based on distance (only for UE-originating AMR services). For details, see section 5.2.2
"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 to decide whether the UE can
access the network from the current cell:
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

5-4
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
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 four algorithms:
RRC Redirection based on Distance
RRC Redirection for Service Steering
RRC DRD
RRC Redirection After DRD Failure
Before enabling the four algorithms, turn on the DrSwitch: DR_RRC_DRD_SWITCH.
5.2.2 RRC Redirection based on Distance

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 redirection based on distance is
introduced.
The RRC 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 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 redirection based on distance can be set through the RedirSwitch parameter. RRC
redirection based on distance is applicable only to the UE-originating AMR services.
The procedure of RRC 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. If no,
the RNC does not perform RRC 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
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 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
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

5-5
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
smaller than the parameter, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC does not perform
RRC 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 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.
5.2.3 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 of 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 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.
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.
3. Based on the setting of RedirSwitch, the RNC takes the corresponding actions:
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

5-6
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
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.
The frequency information carried in the message can be set by running the SET UREDIRECTION command.
If the RedirBandInd parameter is set to DependOnNCell, only intra-band inter-frequency neighboring cell can be
selected as target frequency.
If
RedirSwitch is set to ONLY_TO_INTER_RAT, the RNC sends an RRC CONNECTION REJECT

message to the UE. The message carries the information about inter-RAT neighboring cells.
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.

message.
In order to reduce the waiting time of the peer UE and ensure that the terminated call can be admitted as soon as
possible, the RRC redirection based on service steering is not applicable to the terminated call.
5.2.4 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.
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

5-7
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
The RNC performs the following steps:

1. The RNC selects the intra-band inter-frequency neighboring cells of the current cell. These
neighboring cells are suitable for blind handovers. Whether the neighboring cells support blind
handover is specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag.
2. The RNC generates a list of candidate DRD-supportive inter-frequency cells according to the
following condition:
(CPICH_EcNo)RACH > DRD_EcNOnbcell
Here:
(CPICH_EcNo)RACH
is the cached CPICH Ec/N0 value included in the RACH measurement report.
Note that this value is of the current cell.
DRD_EcNOnbcell
is the DRD threshold (DRDEcN0Threshhold) of the neighboring cell.
3. The RNC selects a target cell from the candidate cells for UE access. If the candidate cell list is
empty, the RRC DRD fails. Then, the RNC performs RRC redirection. If the candidate cell list
contains more than one cell, the UE tries a cell randomly.
If
the admission is successful, the RNC continues the RRC connection setup procedure.
If
the admission to a cell fails, the UE tries admission to another cell in the candidate cell list until an
admission is successful or all admission attempts fail.
If
all the admission attempts fail, the RNC makes an RRC redirection decision.
5.2.5 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.
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.

5.3 Directed Retry Decision

Traffic steering and load sharing during RAB setup will be performed through Directed Retry Decision
(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 the 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 the 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 the 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 PS_STREAM_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH subparameter 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 PS_BE_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH and PS_BE_STRICT_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH

subparameters 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 subparameter
PS_STREAM_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH of the parameter PsSwitch 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

message is set to "Discrete values", the largest GBR contained in the IE "Alternative Guaranteed Bit

GBR.
If the subparameter PS_STREAM_IU_QOS_NEG_SWITCH of the parameter PsSwitch is set to 0, the

GBR negotiation will be not performed. In such a case, the GBR contained in the IE "RAB Parameters" in
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 the following table:

In the uplink, the initial rate is the smaller one of the MBR and
384 kbit/s.
In the downlink, the initial rate is dynamically set on the basis
of Ec/N0. The specific method is as follows:
When the RNC receives an RRC connection setup 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.
If the cell Ec/N0 reported from the UE is above the Ec/N0

threshold (EcN0Ths), the RNC sets the actual initial rate to
the smaller one of the MBR and 384 kbit/s.
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).

If the DCCC function is enabled and PS_RAB_Downsizing_Switch subparameter 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.
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 subparameter of the DraSwitch parameter is set to 1, the

initial access rate is the initial rate of the HSUPA BE service (HsupaInitialRate).

For the HSDPA service, the initial admission rate and the initial access are both GBR.
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 resource in following cases:
Service setup
Soft handover
DCCC rate upsizing
If the cell has sufficient code and CE resources, 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 request resources.
The CAC performs the admission decision based on resources such as code resources, power
resources, NodeB credits, and Iub resources. 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 resources
on which CAC is based are available.
For details about CAC, see the Call Admission Control Feature Parameter Description.
5.6 Preemption
Common Preemption
This section describes the pre-emption 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. 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:
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

5-12
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
Setup or modification of a service
Hard handover or SRNS relocation
UE state transition from CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH
The procedure of preemption is as follows:

1. The RNC selects the target cell for preemption. For DC-HSDPA services, the RNC selects the
primary cell in the DC-HSDPA cell group as the target cell. For non-DC-HSDPA services, the RNC
selects a suitable cell with higher service priority or lower load.
2. The preemption algorithm determines the radio link sets to be preempted.
a. Selects SRNC users first. If no user under the SRNC is available, the algorithm selects users under
the DRNC.
b. Sorts the preemptable users by user integrated priority, or sorts the preemptable RABs by RAB
c. Determines candidate users 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.
Selects as many users or RABs as necessary in order to match the resource 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 resource 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.
3. The RNC releases the resources occupied by the candidate users or RABs.
4. The requested service directly uses the released resources to access the network without admission
decision.
For details about preemption of MBMS services, see the 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.

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
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 services can
be preempted.
This function is determined by the RsvdPara1 parameter. This parameter consists of two subparameters:
RSVDBIT4 and RSVDBIT5.
The following table describes how these two subparameters determine preemption.

Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

5-14
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
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 the
subparameter RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT2 of ReservedSwitch0 in MML SET UNBMPARA
command.
If RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT2 is not selected, 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 RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT2 is selected, 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.
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.
The UE requesting DC-HSDPA services will be queued in the selected 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.

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
If the queue is...
Then the queuing algorithm...

Checks whether the integrated priority of any existing request is lower than that of

If yes, then the queuing algorithm:

- Checks the queuing time of each request. The algorithm removes the request
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 eabled, 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 eabled when the following conditions are met:
The PS_BE_EXTRA_LOW_RATE_ACCESS_SWITCH subparameter of the PsSwitch parameter is

set to 1.
The RESERVED_SWITCH_1_BIT14 subparameter of the ReservedSwitch1 parameter is set to 0.
The DRA_DCCC_SWITCH subparameter of the DraSwitch parameter is set to 1.
The PS_RAB_DOWNSIZING_SWITCH subparameter of the PsSwitch parameter is set to 1.
Low-rate access is used in the following scenarios:
RAB setup
Hard handover or SRNS relocation
After a service request is rejected, the low-rate access actions in different scenarios are as follows:

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 the 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 the State Transition Feature Parameter Description.

5.9.1 RRC Connection Setup Process of Emergency Calls

Compared with the RRC connection setup process of common services, the RRC connection setup
process of emergency calls includes the preemption due to hard resource-based admission failure. Hard
resources include code, Iub, and CE resources. The following figure shows the RRC connection setup
process of an emergency call.
Figure 5-3 RRC connection setup process 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 resources:
If the CAC function is enabled, regardless of which algorithm is selected, the admission decision is
made as follows:
When
the EMC_UU_ADCTRL subparameter 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 subparameter is set to 0, the emergency calls are directly admitted.
If the CAC function switch is off, the emergency calls are directly admitted.

6 Intra-Frequency Load Balancing

6.1 Overview
In the case of intra-frequency neighboring cells, the current cell and the intra-frequency neighboring cells
dynamically adjust their coverage based on their load. When the cell load increases, cell coverage is
decreased so that some UEs at the cell edge are handed over to intra-frequency neighboring cells. This
reduces the load of the current cell. When the cell load decreases, cell coverage is increased to absorb
some load of other cells.
Intra-frequency load balancing uses idle resources in neighboring cells to increase the capacity of the
current cell. This increases resource usage and system capacity.
Intra-frequency load balancing is classified into downlink intra-frequency load balancing and uplink
intra-frequency load balancing. Downlink intra-frequency load balancing and uplink intra-frequency load
balancing cannot be used simultaneously.
6.2 Downlink 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 activated, that is, when the INTRA_FREQUENCY_LDB subparameter of the
NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter is set to 1, 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 of downlink intra-frequency load balancing.
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

6-1
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
Figure 6-1 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.
6.3 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.

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
The uplink intra-frequency load balancing algorithm is specified by the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch:

UL_INTRA_FREQUENCY_ULB parameter. Figure 6-2 shows the process of the uplink intra-frequency
load balancing algorithm.
Figure 6-2 Process of the uplink intra-frequency load balancing algorithm
As shown in Figure 6-2, 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.

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

The basic congestion of a cell is caused by insufficient power resource, code resource, Iub resource, or
NodeB credit resource.
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.
7.1.1 Power Resource

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

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

the uplink load reshuffling algorithm will trigger basic congestion based on ENU.
Note:
For an HSUPA cell, if the subparamter HSUPA_EDCH_RSEPS_MEAS of NBMCacAlgoSwitch is not selected,
regardless of the value of the parameter NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch, 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.
Congestion control based on power resource can be enabled through the DL_UU_LDR and
UL_UU_LDR subparameters of the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter.
The following figure shows the triggering and relieving of basic congestion.

7 Load Reshuffling
Figure 7-1 Triggering and relieving of basic congestion
As shown in Figure 7-1, 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 7-2, 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 600ms.
The UL or DL LDR trigger threshold of a DC-HSDPA cell group equals the sum of the UL or DL LDR
trigger thresholds of the two cells in this group. The UL or DL LDR relief threshold of a DC-HSDPA cell
group equals the sum of the UL/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.
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 of 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.
7.1.2 Code Resource

Congestion control based on code resource can be enabled through the CELL_CODE_LDR
subparameter 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 7-2, are taken.

7.1.3 Iub Resource

Congestion control based on Iub resource can be enabled through the IUB_LDR subparameter 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 the 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.
7.1.4 NodeB Credit Resource

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

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

If the cell group or NodeB UL/DL current remaining SF (mapped to credit resource) is higher than
UlLdrCreditSfResThd or DlLdrCreditSfResThd (set by running the ADD UNODEBLDR command),
credit congestion at cell group or NodeB level is triggered and related load reshuffling actions are
taken. The range of LDR actions is the same as the first type, but the range of UEs to be sorted by
priority is different. All the UEs in the normal cells that belong to the cell group or NodeB will be sorted.
The following table lists the LDR switches that need to be set to 1 for different algorithm types.

When the cell is in the basic congestion state, the RNC takes one of the following actions in each period
(specified by the LdrPeriodTimerLen parameter by running the SET ULDCPERIOD command) until the
congestion is relieved. These procedures apply to HSPA cells and R99 cells.
For R99 cells, only DCH UEs are selected by LDR actions.
The GoldUserLoadControlSwitch parameter specifies whether the users of gold priority are selected by LDR actions.

Should Not Be Load Handover in the CS Domain
The difference between the "Inter-RAT Should Be Load Handover In the CS/PS Domain" and "Inter-RAT Should Not Be
Load Handover In the CS/PS Domain" actions lies in the selection of users. The former only involves CS/PS users with
the "service handover" IE in RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST set to "handover to GSM should be performed", while the
latter only involves CS/PS users with the "service handover" IE set to "handover to GSM should not be performed". For
details about the "service handover" IE, see the Handover Feature Parameter Description.

QoS Renegotiation for Uncontrollable Real-Time Services

The LDR actions concerning DC-HSDPA are inter-frequency load handover and inter-RAT handover in
PS domain.
The sequence of LDR actions can be changed by running the ADD UCELLLDR / ADD UNODEBLDR
command.
The following figure illustrates the detailed LDR procedure. In this example, the sequence of LDR
actions is fixed to inter-frequency load handover, code reshuffling, BE rate reduction, inter-RAT handover
in CS domain, inter-RAT handover in PS domain, AMR rate reduction, QoS Renegotiation for
Uncontrollable Real-Time Services, and MBMS power reduction.

Figure 7-2 LDR procedure
As shown in the preceding figure, when the system is congested, the inter-frequency load 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 inter-frequency load 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, that is, BE rate reduction, is taken.
The remaining actions to be performed may be deduced by analogy. For details about LDR actions, see
section 7.3 "LDR Actions."
The LDR actions that are triggered by basic congestion caused by different resources are different.
Table 7-2 describes the LDR actions intended for different resources.
When the basic congestion is triggered by different resources, the congestion can be relieved in an order
set by running the SET ULDCALGOPARA command.

A few actions in Table 7-2 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 inter-frequency load handover for
HSUPA user can be performed. If the uplink power-based admission uses the power resourece
algorithm, the inter-frequency load handover for HSUPA user can`t be performed, as indicated by the
symbol "*" in the preceding table.
If the uplink 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.
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 resource, RNC selects UEs in the congested path or port.
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.
Cell-level
parameters take effect when power resources, code resources, or cell credit resources are
in basic congestion state.
7.3 LDR Actions

7.3.1 Inter-Frequency Load Handover
Inter-frequency load handover is also called inter frequency load balance (WRFD-020103
Inter-Frequency Load Balance).
If the UE is in the soft handover state, inter-frequency load handover can be performed only when the
HO_ALGO_LDR_ALLOW_SHO_SWITCH subparameter of the HoSwitch parameter is set to ON.
When the switch HO_INTER_FREQ_HARD_HO_SWITCH subparameter of 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 inter-frequency load handover can be performed based on blind handover or measurement, which
can be decided by the InterFreqLDHOMethodSelection parameter.
Inter-Frequency Load Handover Based on Blind Handover

If the InterFreqLDHOMethodSelection parameter is set to BLINDHO, the inter-frequency load
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.
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
7 Load Reshuffling
Whether the neighboring cells support blind handover is specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag.
2. The algorithm selects the target cell according to the type of resource that causes the basic
congestion:
If
the basic congestion is caused by power resource:
If the candidate cell does not support DC-HSDPA, the algorithm checks whether the load margin of
the target cell is higher than both UlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd and
DlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd and whether the load of the target cell is normal.
If the candidate cell supports DC-HSDPA, the concerned cell group and the candidate cell must have
sufficient power margin.
The load margin refers to the difference between the load of the target cell and the basic congestion triggering threshold of
the target 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 load of total ENU 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.
If the margin is not higher than the threshold, the action fails, and the algorithm takes the next action.
If there is more than one cell meeting the requirements, the first cell in the list of the neighbor cells is
selected as the blind handover target cell.
If
the basic congestion is caused by code resource:
Whether there are blind handover target cells meeting the requirements is decided by the following
conditions:
a. The minimum SF of the target cell is not greater than that of the current cell.
b. The difference of code usage between the current cell and the target cell is greater than
LdrCodeUsedSpaceThd.
c. The state of target cell is normal.
If there is no such cell, this action fails and the algorithm takes the next action. If there is more than
one cell meeting the requirements, the first cell in the list of the neighbor cells is selected as the blind
handover target cell.

If
NbmLdcUeSelSwitch is set to NBM_LDC_MATCH_UE_ONLY, the algorithm performs the

InterFreqLdHoForbidenTC.
The service types of UEs are supported by the target cell.
b. Sorts the candidate UEs whose rates are not higher than the handover bandwidth thresholds,
based on the integrated priority.
c. Selects the UE with the lowest integrated priority for handover.
If
NbmLdcUeSelSwitch is set to NBM_LDC_MATCH_UE_FIRST, the algorithm performs the

following steps:

If the rates of all the candidate UEs are higher than the handover bandwidth thresholds, the

The service types of UEs are not supported by the target cell.
b. Sorts the UEs whose rates are not higher than the handover bandwidth threshold, based on the
If
NbmLdcUeSelSwitch is set to NBM_LDC_ALL_UE, the algorithm performs the following steps:

InterFreqLdHoForbidenTC parameter.
b. Sorts the UEs whose rates are not higher than the handover bandwidth thresholds, based on the
b. Selects the UE with the lowest integrated priority for handover.
If multiple UEs have the same lowest integrated priority, the algorithm selects the one with the highest rate for handover.
The UL and DL handover bandwidth thresholds are specified by UlInterFreqHoBWThd and DlInterFreqHoBWThd
respectively. Both the thresholds are considered in the selection of the target UE.
4. After selecting the target cell and the UE, the RNC makes blind handover decision. For details, see
the Handover Feature Parameter Description.
Inter-Frequency Load Handover Based on Measurement

The inter-frequency load handover based on measurement can be performed only if the basic
congestion is caused by power resource.
If the InterFreqLDHOMethodSelection parameter is set to MEASUREHO, the inter-frequency load
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 inter-frequency load handover based on measurement on the UE with the lowest
2. The RNC selects the candidate cells that meet the following conditions:
The
cell must be an inter-frequency neighboring cell of the current cell. The cell must not be a DRNC
inter-frequency neighboring cell.
The
frequency of the cell is within the band supported by the UE.
The
cell must meet the following conditions on load margin:
If the cell does not support DC-HSDPA, the algorithm checks whether the load margin of the target
cell is higher than both UlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd and DlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd
and whether the load of the target cell is normal.
If the cell supports DC-HSDPA, the concerned cell group and the cell must have sufficient load
margin.
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 such candidate target cells do not exist, the inter-frequency load handover action fails and the
algorithm takes the next action.
If such candidate cells exist, the following step is performed.
3. The RNC issues a measurement control message to the UE, requesting the UE to measure the
signal quality of all candidate cells.
4. The UE measures the RSCP and Ec/No of the candidate cells and periodically reports the
measurement results to the RNC. The reporting period is specified by the PrdReportInterval
parameter.
5. Based on the received measurement results, the RNC selects the candidate target cells. The
candidate target 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/No is higher than the Ec/No threshold that is specified by the TargetFreqThdEcN0
parameter.
If such candidate target cells do not exist, the inter-frequency load handover action fails and the
algorithm takes the next action.
If such candidate target cells exist, the following step is performed.
6. The RNC selects the cell with the highest priority from the candidate target 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 tried accessing all the candidate
target 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.
7.3.2 BE Rate Reduction

When admission control of Power/NodeB Credit is disabled, it is not recommended that the BE Rate Reduction be
configured as an LDR action in order to avoid ping-pong effect.
BE rate reduction can only be performed when the DRA_DCCC_SWITCH subparameter 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 the 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
the Iub interface.
7.3.3 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.
7.3.4 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 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 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 Handover in the CS Domain

The algorithm for this action is the same as that for the action "Inter-RAT Should Be Load Handover in
the CS Domain". The difference is that this action only involves 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.
7.3.5 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 Handover in the PS Domain

The algorithm for this action is the same as that for the action "Inter-RAT Should Be Load Handover in
the CS Domain". The difference is that this action involves only PS users with the "service handover" IE
set to "handover to GSM should be performed".
The number of controlled UEs is determined by the UlPSInterRatShouldBeHOUeNum or
DlPSInterRatShouldBeHOUeNum parameter.
Inter-RAT Should Not Be Load Handover in the PS Domain

The algorithm for this action is the same as that for the action "Inter-RAT Should Not Be Load Handover
in the CS Domain". The difference is that this action involves only PS users with the "service handover"
IE set to "handover to GSM should not be performed".
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.

7.3.6 AMR Rate Reduction

This action can only be performed when the subparameter 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.
AMR Rate Reduction in the Uplink

In the uplink, 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 determined by the
UlLdrAMRRateReductionRabNum 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 TFC CONTROL command to the UE to adjust the AMR rate to the GBR.
7.3.7 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 resources for subsequent services. Code subtree adjustment refers
to the switching of users from one code subtree 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 subtrees with this SF_Cur at the root node except the subtrees occupied by
common channels and HSDPA channels, and takes the subtrees in which the number of users is not
larger than the value of MaxUserNumCodeAdj as candidate subtrees for code reshuffling.
If
such candidate subtrees are available, the algorithm goes to step 3.
If
no such candidate subtree is available, subtree selection fails. This procedure ends.
3. Selects a subtree from the candidate subtrees according to the setting of LdrCodePriUseInd.
If
this parameter is set to TRUE, the algorithm selects the subtree with the largest code number from
the candidates.
If
this parameter is set to FALSE, the algorithm selects the subtree with the smallest number of users
from the candidates. if multiple subtrees have the same number of users, the algorithm selects the
subtree with the largest code number.
4. Treats each user in the subtree as a new user and allocates code resources to each user.
5. Initiates the reconfiguration procedure for each user in the subtree and reconfigures the
channelization codes of the users to the newly allocated code resources.
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.

7.3.8 MBMS Power Reduction

The downlink power load can be reduced by lowering 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 an 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.
7.3.9 UL and DL LDR Action Combination of a UE

LDR actions in the uplink and the downlink are independent. Sometimes, the actions in both directions
are applied to the same UE. In this situation, the actions are combined as follows:
If the actions in the two directions are identical, the actions are combined. For example, if BE rate
reduction actions in both the uplink and the downlink need to be applied to the same UE, then only a
single RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message is sent out.
If the actions in the two directions are different and if one direction requires inter-frequency handover,
the UE undergoes the inter-frequency handover. The action in the other direction is not taken.
If the actions in the two directions are different and if one direction requires the inter-RAT handover,
the UE undergoes the inter-RAT handover. The other action is not taken.
If the action in one direction requires inter-frequency handover, and the action in the other direction
requires inter-RAT handover, the UE undergoes the UL LDR action. The DL LDR action is not taken.

8 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, Overload Control (OLC) must be performed.
8.1 Overload Triggering

Only the power resource and Iub bandwidth may result in the overload congestion state. Hard resources
such as the ENU and credit resources do not cause overload congestion.
For details about overload congestion caused by Iub bandwidth, see the Transmission Resource Management Feature
Parameter Description.
OLC can be enabled through the UL_UU_OLC and DL_UU_OLC subparameters of the
NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter.
The following figure shows the triggering and release of cell power overload.
Figure 8-1 Triggering and release of cell power overload
As shown in Figure 8-1, 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 600ms.

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
8 Overload Control
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.
The uplink load of an HSUPA cell is calculated based on the uncontrollable load of the cell. The downlink
load of an HSDPA cell is calculated based on the load of non-HSPA power and GBP in the cell.
In addition to periodic measurement, event-triggered measurement is applicable to OLC.
If the subparameter 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.
8.2 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:
Performing TF Control of BE Services
Switching BE Services to Common Channels
Adjusting the Maximum FACH TX Power
Releasing Some RABs
The following figure shows the OLC procedure.

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
8 Overload Control
As shown in the preceding figure, the OLC procedure is as follows:

1. The OLC takes the first action to perform TF control.
If
the TF control succeeds, the OLC checks whether the system is overloaded. If yes, the OLC
performs TF control again.
If
the TF control fails, go to step 2.
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.
For details about OLC actions, see section 8.3 "OLC Actions."
Moreover, when the cell is in the overload congestion state:
The state transition from FACH to DCH is prohibited.
When the FACH_UU_ADCTRL subparameter 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 subparameter 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 very high.
8.3 OLC Actions

8.3.1 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 the
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
Here:
TFmax(0)
is the maximum TB number of the BE service before the service is selected for TF control.
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

8-3
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
8 Overload 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.
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 the DCCC
Feature Parameter Description.
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.

8.3.2 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.
8.3.3 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 is the target maximum transmit power.
Pmax 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.
8.3.4 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.
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

8-5
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
8 Overload Control
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

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.

Meaning:DL fast TF restriction refers to a situation

where, when the cell is overloaded and congested,
the downlink TF can be adjusted to restrict the
number of blocks transported in each TTI at the
MAC layer and the rate of user data, thus reducing
the cell downlink load.
The mechanism of the OLC is that an action is
performed in each [OLC period] and some services
are selected based on the action rules to perform
this action. This parameter defines the maximum
number of RABs selected in executing downlink
OLC fast restriction.
Selection of RABs of the OLC is based on the
service priorities and ARP values and bearing
priority indication. The RAB of low priority is under
control. In the actual system,
UlOlcFTFRstrctRabNum and
DlOlcFTFRstrctRabNum can be set on the basis of
the actual circumstances. If the high-rate
subscribers occupy a high proportion, set
DlOlcFTFRstrctRabNum to comparatively low
values. If the high-rate subscribers occupy a low
proportion, set UlOlcFTFRstrctRabNum and
DlOlcFTFRstrctRabNum to comparatively high
values. The higher the parameters are, the more
users are involved in fast TF restriction under the

number of downlink OLC fast TF restriction
performed in entering/exiting the OLC status.
After the overload is triggered, the RNC
immediately executes OLC by first executing fast
TF restriction. The internal counter is incremented
by 1 with each execution. If the number of
overloads does not exceed the OLC action
threshold, the system lowers the BE service rate by
lowering TF to relieve the overload. If the number of
overloads exceeds the OLC action threshold, the
previous operation has no obvious effect on
alleviating the overload and the system has to
release users to solve the overload problem. The
lower the parameters are, the more likely the users
are released, resulting in negative effect on the
system performance. If the parameters are
excessively high, the overload status is released
slowly.

LTE MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the
UE based on service and to initiate an inter-RAT PS
service-based redirection from UMTS to LTE. When

1. If this switch is enabled: if the current cell is
congested due to overload, and the users are with
RAB connection requests or RRC connection
requests(except the cause of "Detach",
"Registration", or "Emergency Call"), the users will
be rejected. Otherwise FACH user admission
procedure is initiated. A user can access the cell
after the procedure succeeds.
2. If this switch is disabled: FACH user
admission procedure is initiated without the
consideration of cell state.
MIMOCELL_LEGACYHSDPA_ADCTRL:
Legacy HSDPA admission control algorithm in

FAST_DORMANCY_ADCTRL: Whether to
enable or disable state transition of users in the
CELL-DCH state, who are enabled with fast
dormancy, to ease FACH congestion in a cell. If this
switch is turned off in a cell, state transition of such
users is disabled. Note that when this switch is
turned off in multiple cells under an RNC, signaling
storm may occur. As a result, the CPU usage of the
RNC, NodeB, and SGSN increases greatly, leading
to service setup failure.Parameter withdrawal

by the UE. For the uplink fast TF restriction, the

release the TF restriction once the time expires.
The higher RateRecoverTimerLen is, the more

number of uplink OLC fast TF restriction performed
in entering/exiting the OLC status.
After the overload is triggered, the RNC
immediately executes OLC by first executing fast
TF restriction. The internal counter is incremented
by 1 with each execution. If the number of
overloads does not exceed the OLC action
threshold, the system lowers the BE service rate by
lowering TF to relieve the overload. If the number of
overloads exceeds the OLC action threshold, the
previous operation has no obvious effect on
alleviating the overload and the system has to
release users to solve the overload problem.
The lower the parameters are, the more likely the
users are released, resulting in negative effect on
the system performance. If the parameters are
excessively high, the overload status is released
slowly.
