2 TRM Introduction

TRM Introduction

Transmission Resource Management (TRM) is used to manage user plane resources on the
Iub, Iur, and Iu interfaces in the Radio Network Controller (RNC). By using TRM, it is
possible to increase the transmission resource usage and to guarantee the Quality of Service
(QoS).
The following transmission resources are managed by the TRM modules:
z

Channel Identifier (CID) resources, and bandwidth resources for AAL2 paths on the Iub,
Iur, and Iu-Circuit Switched (CS) interfaces.

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) resources, and bandwidth resources for IP paths on the
Iub, Iur, and Iu-CS interfaces.

GPRS Tunneling Protocol for User Plane (GTP-U) resources, IP over ATM (IPoA)
bandwidth resources, and IP path bandwidth resources on the Iu-Packet Switched (PS)
interface.

3.1.3 ATM Virtual Port Shaping


ATM VP shaping is applied on the port of ATM interface boards and is used to solve
downlink Iub congestion problems, which decrease the risk of transmission congestion and
packet loss.
To avoid congestion in the ATM network:
z

Configure a leaf VP aiming at each NodeB. The VP shaping rate is the Iub bandwidth
corresponding to each NodeB. The shaping bandwidth of each VP is configured to avoid
congestion occurring on each NodeB and access point of the transport network.

Configure a hub VP aiming at each Hub NodeB. The VP connecting to the hub VP
corresponds to the actual NodeB networking. The shaping rate of the hub VP is lower
than or equal to the Iub bandwidth of the Hub NodeB.

Ensure that the actual rate of the VPs does not exceed the bandwidth of the physical port.
Otherwise, congestion may occur on the physical port.
The sum of the configured VP bandwidth can exceed the bandwidth of the upper-level VP (or of the
physical port) because the VPs can be converged upon admission. For the actual traffic, however, the
sum of VP traffic will not exceed the traffic of the upper-level VP.

If these conditions are met, congestion will not occur on the NodeB Iub interface.
VP shaping also supports admission control, congestion control and back pressure algorithm.
The RNC back pressure algorithm can be applied to VP shaping, which will solve Iub
congestion problems. One principle of RNC back pressure algorithm is congestion detection,
which requires the shaping function at the transport layer. For details, see 3.10 Admission
Control, 3.11 Congestion Control and Flow Control Algorithm 2 for Iub Overbooking.

Solution to Congestion Based on VP Shaping


The RNC supports multi-level shaping (up to level-5 shaping), which has both leaf VPs and
hub VPs.
Figure 3-1 shows the VPs corresponding to the multi-level NodeB.

NB = NodeB, BW = bandwidth, BW0 = bandwidth of the physical port


z

Multiple NodeBs are converged at the Iub interface. The convergence may occur in the
transport network (such as NB1 and NB4 in Figure 3-1) or in the Hub NodeB (for
example, NB2 and NB3 are converged at NB1, as shown in Figure 3-1). The VPs must
be configured to provide an appropriate convergence solution.

The leaf VP actual rate is restricted by the leaf VP shaping rate, and scheduling rates of
the hub VP and physical port.

The VP shaping parameters involved are as follows:


z

The Virtual Port Number

The bearing type of the virtual port

3.2 IP Transmission Resources


The IP transmission resources consist of the physical, and data link layer resources as well as
the IP path resources. IP Logical Port (LP) shaping is used to solve downlink Iub congestion
problems and IP Performance Management (PM) is used to ensure that the total transmit rate
does not exceed the current actual available bandwidth.

3 TRM Principles

The user plane data of Iub, Iur, and Iu-CS interfaces is encapsulated through the UDP, IP, and
layer 2 (L2). An independent UDP port is allocated to each data flow.
L2 can be carried on either the E1 or the Ethernet (FE/GE). If L2 is carried on the E1, the data
can be encapsulated on the basis of the following protocols:
z

Point to Point Protocol (PPP)

Multi-link PPP (MLPPP)

PPP Multiplexing (PPPMux)

Multi-Class PPP (MCPPP)

The compression of the address and control or protocol fields can be applied on the
PPP/MLPPP/PPPMux link. In addition, the IP header compression technology can also be
used to save the transmission resources when the E1 is used on the Iub interface. For details
about the data link layer, refer to IP RAN Header Compression.
If L2 is carried on the Ethernet, the data can be encapsulated in the format shown in Figure
3-2.

The data encapsulation complies with RFC894 and RFC1042 (IEEE 802).

Any service type can be carried on the QOSPATH. The transmission
priority of the QOSPATH is configurable, so different service types
can be transmitted with different priorities.

High Quality (HQ) and Low Quality (LQ) differ in bearer type. HQ is based on IP over
E1/T1 transport, whereas LQ is based on IP over Ethernet transport. This difference is
due to the fact that compared with IP transport, E1/T1 transport has low transmission
delay, thus featuring a high quality.

The IP path also needs to be configured, even if the Iu-PS interface adopts IPoA for
transmission.

HSDPA and HSUPA traffic can be carried on the same IP path. HSDPA is carried on the
downlink and HSUPA is carried on the uplink.

3.2.3 IP Logical Port Shaping


IP LP shaping is applied on the port of IP interface boards, and is used to solve downlink Iub
congestion problems, which will decrease the risk of transmission congestion and packets
loss.
To avoid congestion in the IP network:
z

Configure an LP aiming at each NodeB. The LP shaping rate is the Iub bandwidth
corresponding to NodeB. The shaping bandwidth of each LP is configured to avoid
congestion occurring on each NodeB and access point of the transport network.

Ensure that the actual rate of the LPs does not exceed the bandwidth of the physical port.
Otherwise, congestion may occur on the physical port.

If these conditions are met, congestion will not occur on the NodeB Iub interface.
LP shaping also supports admission control, congestion control and back pressure algorithm.
The RNC back pressure algorithm can be applied to LP shaping, which will solve Iub
congestion problems. One principle of RNC back pressure algorithm is congestion detection,
which requires the shaping function in the transmission layer. For details, see 3.10 Admission
Control, 3.11 Congestion Control and Flow Control Algorithm 2 for Iub Overbooking.

The bandwidth of the four LPs must be equal to or less than the bandwidth of the
physical port.
The configured LP can exceed the bandwidth of the physical port (with a convergence based
on the admission algorithm), but the sum of the actual traffic will not exceed the traffic of
upper-level LP.

The LP shaping parameters involved are as follows:

3.2.4 IP Performance Management


In the actual network, bandwidth-varying scenario exists. In this scenario, the IP PM is
introduced on the basis of LP back pressure.
IP PM is used to dynamically detect the actual available bandwidth and ensure that the total
transmit rate does not exceed the current actual available bandwidth.
The solution is the following:
z

If LP back pressure is implemented, congestion and packet loss do not occur at the LP.

The RNC and NodeB work together to implement IP PM in the following way:

The RNC sends a Forward Monitoring (FM) packet including the send packet count
and time stamp to the NodeB.

The NodeB adds the receive packet count and time stamp on the FM packet to
generate a Backward Reporting (BR) packet and then sends it to RNC.

The RNC estimates the available bandwidth, depending on the BR packet, and
adjusts the LP rate.

The dynamic adjustment of the LP depends on the IP PM detection result. If the Auto adjust
bandwidth switch parameter is set to ON when configuring the LP, the IP PM of all the IP
paths bound on this LP must be activated. Then, the system dynamically adjusts the
bandwidth of the LP according to the Iub transmission quality information obtained by the IP
PM.
z

The estimated available bandwidth is also used for admission algorithms. For details, see
3.10 Admission Control.

If these conditions are met, congestion will not occur on the NodeB Iub interface.

If the Auto

adjust bandwidth switch parameter is set to ON, you should configure the
Max bandwidth [64kbps] and the Min bandwidth [64kbps].

3.3 Iub ATM/IP Transmission Resources


The Iub ATM/IP mode consists of the ATM transport part and the IP transport part. The ATM
and IP transmission resources are independent and configured separately.

Resources, and for more information about the IP transmission resources, see 3.2 IP
Transmission Resources.

3.4.1 Paths on Iur Interface


Services carried on the Iur interface are diversified. Therefore, the types of paths configured
on the Iur interface are the same as those on the Iub interface.

3.4.2 Paths on Iu-CS Interface


Services carried on the Iu-CS interface are AMR voice services, CS conversational services
and CS streaming services, all of which are real-time services. Therefore, the AAL2 paths of
RT type need to be configured in ATM mode, and the IP paths of HQ_RT and LQ_RT as
well as HQ_QOSPATH and LQ_QOSPATH types need to be configured in IP mode.

3.4.3 Paths on Iu-PS Interface


For the resource management of the Iu-PS interface, the IP paths of NRT or HQ_QOSPATH
and LQ_QOSPATH types are used in ATM or IP mode.

3.5 Traffic Type and Transmission Resource Mapping


The mapping between traffic types and transmission resources can be configured for each
adjacent node.
When an adjacent mapping is added, different mapping indexes are assigned to users with
different priorities. The RNC provides default mapping tables (TRMMAP tables). The
mapping between the traffic types, including traffic handling priority, and the transport bearer
is configured through the ADD TRMMAP command, and the mapping of the gold, silver, or
copper type is configured through the ADD ADJMAP command.

3.6 Differentiated Service


The Differentiated Service (DiffServ) is a method of providing different services with
different transmission priorities.

3-14

Huawei Proprietary and Confidential


Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd

Issue 02 (2008-07-30)

RAN
Transmission Resource Management Description

3 TRM Principles

3.6.1 DiffServ Based on QoS


DiffServ is implemented according to different QoS requirements of the different services.
z

The voice service requires short delay and small jitter but allows a certain rate of
transmission errors.
To minimize the delay and jitter, the high-quality transmission medium with the shortest
path is allocated to the voice service. The Transparent Mode (TM) is applied to meet the
requirements for transmission error rate and reduce the overhead processing.

The PS BE service such as e-mail or FTP is less sensitive to delay and jitter but does not
allow transmission errors.
Relatively low-quality transmission medium is allocated to the PS BE service, and the
retransmission mechanism of the Acknowledged Mode (AM) ensures no transmission
errors.

3.6.2 DiffServ Based on HSDPA


If the NodeB supports HSDPA, the flow control of the channels that carry HSDPA services is
managed by the NodeB.
Without the differentiated transmission measures, the outburst of HSDPA data transmission
can affect both the voice services and the R99 data services. Therefore, differentiated
transmission must be applied to HSDPA services. That is, independent AAL2 paths or IP paths
must be configured to carry the services of HSDPA_RT type or HSDPA_NRT type as follows:
z

PS streaming services established on HSDPA channels are carried on the paths of


HSDPA_RT type.

PS BE services established on HSDPA channels are carried on the paths of HSDPA_NRT


type.

3.6.3 DiffServ Based on ATM PVC


In ATM mode, the ATM PVC priority is applied to implement the DiffServ. Different types of
service can be carried on different PVCs with different transmission priorities.
For example, the RT path type uses high-priority PVC such as CBR or RTVBR, and NRT path
type uses low-priority PVC such as NRTVBR.

3.6.4 DiffServ Based on DSCP


In IP mode, the Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) is applied to implement the
DiffServ. DSCP is a field in an IP packet that enables different services to be transmitted with
different priorities on the network. In the same network environment, the greater the DSCP
value is, the higher priority the traffic has.
Different IP paths can be configured with different DSCPs, which means that different
services can be transmitted by using different DSCPs. For example, the RT path type is
configured with high-priority DSCP, and the NRT path type is configured with low-priority
DSCP.
To modify the default DSCP values for IP paths of non-QOSPATH type, run the ADD
IPPATH command or MOD IPPATH command.
The DSCP for the IP path of QOSPATH type is classified into
EF,AF11,AF12,AF13,AF21,AF22,AF23,AF31,AF32,AF33,AF41,AF42,AF43,BE. The
transmission priorities from high to low are EF > AF43 > AF42 > AF41 > AF33 > AF32 >

AF31 > AF23 > AF22 > AF21 > AF13 > AF12 > AF11 > BE. The default DSCP values for
them are as follows:

EF: 46

AF43: 38 / AF42: 36 / AF41: 34

AF33: 30 / AF32: 28 / AF31: 26

AF23:22 / AF22: 20 / AF21: 18

AF13: 14 / AF12: 12 / AF11: 10

BE: 0

The DSCP for the IP path of QOSPATH type is determined by the traffic mapping, and the
DSCP for the IP path of non-QOSPATH type is configured on the IP path. The mapping
between the DSCP values and IP port queues is set through the SET QUEUEMAP command.
If the data is transmitted on the leased lines, the IP address and DSCP values of the IP paths
should be configured according to the Service Level Agreement (SLA).

3.7 Transport Layer Group Bandwidth Management


Transport Layer Group Bandwidth Management is used to manage different types of paths
configured on the Iub interface.
Transmission resource group multiplexes and converges the transport layer resources through
admission control. For example, the bandwidth of all the paths under one transmission
resource group can be configured as the same as the bandwidth of the group. That is, all the
paths can share the bandwidth of the transmission resource group.
When you configure a physical link (for example, IMA, UNI, and FRAATM), or a logical
port (VP or LP), the bandwidth for the control and management planes (including the
signaling NCP/CCP/ALCAP and the OAM flow) is reserved, and the remaining bandwidth is
used by the user plane.
The transport layer admission control and congestion control described in the following
sections are based on the bandwidth for the user plane of the transport layer. For example, the
bandwidth for the physical link mentioned above refers to the bandwidth for the user plane of
the transport layer.

3.7.1 Bandwidth Reserved for Control and Management Planes


The bandwidth reserved in ATM transport and in IP transport is different:
z

In ATM transport, the bandwidth of the signaling NCP/CCP/ALCAP and the OAM flow
is reserved for the control plane:
Reserved bandwidth = bandwidth of the NCP x Factor of NBAP_NCP
+ bandwidth of the CCP x Factor of NBAP_CCP
+ bandwidth of the ALCAP x Factor of ALCAP
+ OM bandwidth of the NodeB x Factor of IUB_OAM

In IP transport, the bandwidth of the OAM flow is reserved for the control plane:
Reserved bandwidth = OM bandwidth of the NodeB x Factor of IUB_OAM

3.7.2 Transmission Resource Group


The path, transmission resource group, and physical port constitute the structure of the RNC
transmission resource management, as Figure 3-4 shown.
Figure 3-4 The structure of the RNC transmission resource management

Run the ADD PORTCTRLER command to add port resource controllers for IMA, UNI, FRAATM,
NCOPT, ETHER, PPP, and MLPPP.
Run the ADD LGCPORT, ADD VP, and ADD RSCGRP commands to add the transmission resource
groups on the RNC.
In the broad sense, a port controller also serves as a resource group, namely, a top-level resource group.

The port controller and transmission resource group (including the VP, LP, or customized
resource group) are related to transmission resource admission control. For details, see 3.10
Admission Control.

3.8 Activity Factor


Due to the discontinuity of traffic, there are active periods during which data is transmitted
and inactive periods during which no data is transmitted. The activity factor is used by the
admission control to increase the transmission resource usage during these periods.
The activity factors can be applied on the Iub, Iur, Iu-CS, and Iu-PS interfaces and by
adjusting the activity factor, more users of a service can be admitted.
In most cases, when a service is established, the service admission bandwidth is equal to the
required transmission bit rate multiplied by the service activity factor. For the PS Best Effort
(BE) service, the service admission bandwidth is the same as the Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR)
multiplied by the service activity factor.
The activity factors for all users for common channel and SRB are the same. For details, refer
to Iub Overbooking Key Principles.

3.10 Admission Control


Admission Control is used to determine whether the system resources are enough to accept a
new user's access request. If the system resources are enough, the new user's access request is
accepted; otherwise, the user will be rejected.

3.10.1 Multi-Level Admission Control Policy


The admission control of the RNC transmission resources adopts a bottom-up multi-level
admission control policy.
Figure 3-5 shows a bottom-up multi-level admission control policy.
Figure 3-5 Bottom-up multi-level admission control policy

As shown in Figure 3-5, a user accessing the network from a path should go through the
admission of the path, resource group, and physical port in turn. The user that passes all the
admission can be successfully admitted by the transport layer.
The physical ports correspond to IMA, UNI, FRAATM, NCOPT, ETHER, PPP, and MLPPP.
The transmission resource groups are of two types: the one automatically generated in the
system and the one manually generated by the user. The latter one can only perform
admission control but is not capable of shaping or back pressure.
Figure 3-6 shows the multi-level admission control policy for the RNC transmission
resources.

NB2 should go through the admission of AAL2PATH, LeafVP1, HubVP1, physical port, and
the user accessing the network from the NB4 should go through the admission of AAL2PATH,
Leaf VP3, and physical port.

3.10.2 Admission Control Algorithm


This section describes the admission control algorithm and takes the physical link as an
example. The admission control policy for the transmission resource group is the same as that
for the physical link.
The requirements for the general algorithm for bandwidth admission control vary with
whether it is a new user, a handover user, or a rate upsizing user that is requiring admission.
For a new user, the following requirements apply:
z

Total bandwidth allocated to the users on the path + required bandwidth for the new user
< total bandwidth configured for the path bandwidth reserved for handover.

Total bandwidth allocated to the users on the physical link + required bandwidth for the
new user < total bandwidth of the physical link bandwidth reserved for handover.

For a handover user, the following requirements apply:


z

Total bandwidth allocated to the users on the path + required bandwidth for the handover
user < total bandwidth configured for the path.

Total bandwidth allocated to the users on the physical link + required bandwidth for the
handover user < total bandwidth of the physical link.

For a rate upsizing user, the following requirements apply:

Total bandwidth allocated to the users on the path + required bandwidth for the rate
upsizing user < total bandwidth configured for the path congestion threshold.

Total bandwidth allocated to the users on the physical link + required bandwidth for the
rate upsizing user < total bandwidth of the physical link congestion threshold.

Physical link users consist of R99 users and HSPA users. For R99 users, the UL and DL
control admission together. For HSPA users, the UL and DL control admission separately.
First the UL controls admission. If the UL admission for HSPA users is approved, the DL
controls admission and if the UL admission for HSPA users is rejected, the DL does not
control admission.

For a path that belongs to a path group, admission control must be performed at both the
path level and the path group level.

For an IMA group or MLPPP group, the RNC automatically adjusts the maximum
bandwidth available to the whole group and uses the new admission threshold if the
bandwidth of an IMA link or MLPPP link changes.

The Resource Management Mode parameter is used for configuring a virtual port, or logical
port on the Iub interface.
The CN Operator index can be used when setting the Resource Management Mode
parameter.
The admission control algorithm has the following requirement for the parameter settings:
Bandwidth reserved for handover congestion threshold congestion resolve threshold
The congestion threshold and the congestion resolve threshold are used to prevent ping-pong
effect.
Based on the preceding requirement, the user priorities are as follows:
Handover user > new user > rate upsizing user
The congestion thresholds consist of Forward congestion threshold and Backward
congestion threshold, and the congestion resolve thresholds consist of Forward congestion
clear threshold and Backward congestion clear threshold. For details, see 3.11 Congestion
Control.
The parameters that are used for reserving bandwidth for handover users are as follows:
z

Forward handover reserved bandwidth[KBIT/S]

Backward handover reserved bandwidth[KBIT/S]

3.10.3 Admission Procedure


Primary and secondary paths are used in admission control. According to the mapping
between traffic types and transmission resources, the RNC first selects the primary path for
admission. If the admission on the primary path fails, then the admission on the secondary

resources, see 3.5 Traffic Type and Transmission Resource Mapping.
For example, assume that secondary paths are available for new users, handover users, and
rate upsizing users. The following procedures describe the admission of these users on the Iub
interface respectively.
The admission procedure for a new user is as follows:
Step 1 The new user tries to be admitted to available bandwidth 1 of the primary path, as shown in 1
of Figure 3-7.
Step 2 If the admission on the primary path is successful, the user is carried on the primary path.
Step 3 If the admission on the primary path fails, the user tries to be admitted to available bandwidth
2 of the secondary path, as shown in 2 of Figure 3-7.
Step 4 If the admission on the secondary path is successful, the user is carried on the secondary path.
If not, the bandwidth admission request of the user is rejected.

The Forward congestion threshold and Backward congestion threshold parameters can be
set for congestion detection when a path, port, or resource group is configured. The default
value for both of the parameters is 0, which indicates that no congestion detection is
performed. If the parameters are specified, the TRM performs congestion detection based on
the parameter values. For a path, port, or resource group, it is also possible to set the Forward
congestion clear threshold and Backward congestion clear threshold parameters, both of
which are used to determine whether the congestion disappears.
Congestion detection can be triggered in either of the following ways:
z

Bandwidth adjustment because of resource allocation, modification or release.

Change in the configured bandwidth or the congestion threshold.

Physical link fault.

For example, if the forward parameters of a port for congestion detection are defined as
follows, with CLEAR being greater than CON:
z

Configured bandwidth: AVE

Forward congestion threshold: CON

Forward congestion clear threshold: CLEAR

Used bandwidth: USED

Then, the mechanism of congestion detection on the port is as follows:


z

The congestion occurs on the path when CON + USED AVE.

The congestion disappears from the path when CLEAR + USED < AVE.

The congestion detection for a path or resource group is similar to that for a port.
Generally, congestion thresholds only need to be set for a port or resource group. If different
types of AAL2 paths or IP paths require different congestion thresholds, the parameters for the
paths are set as required.
If a VP or LP is configured, congestion control is also applied to the VP or LP, and the
congestion control mechanism is the same as that of a resource group.

3.11.2 Congestion Handling on the Iub Interface


If congestion is detected when NodeB LDC algorithm switch is set to IUB_LDR-1, the RNC
triggers the load reshuffling process after receiving the congestion alarm messages.
The congestion alarm only indicates limited bandwidth; it does not indicate that no users can connect to
the network.
If NodeB LDC algorithm switch is set to IUB_LDR-1, you should run the ADD NODEBLDR
command to add NodeB LDR algorithm parameters and run ADD NODEBLDR to specify a unique
NodeB name.

For details about the load reshuffling process, refer to Load Reshuffling.

Congestion detected on the Iur interface may trigger the SRNS relocation. For details,
refer to Basic Types of SRNS Relocation.

During flow control on Iu signaling, when congestion is detected on the signaling link
towards a signaling point, the congestion status is reported to the RANAP subsystem.
Then, the RANAP subsystem starts to discard user messages for services in the
following order: short message > CS and PS call establishment > registration.
