-------------------------------------------------------
* It has been found out in simulations that for example PS services require much
less transport capacity than is actually reserved by CAC
*By tuning activity factors (AF) operator can increase Iub efficiency by allocat
ing more calls on transport media.
This results in decreased transport costs
*With Transport Bearer Tuning it is possible to increase the number of NRT 384 c
onnections admitted to a user plane VCC by adjusting the NRT activity factor
*Transport Bearer Tuning feature enables free setting of DL and UL Activity fact
or for AAL2 Link Characteristics (ALC)
ALC parameters are used by AAL2 Connection Admission Control (CAC) to ma
ke transport capacity reservation for Transport Bearers
ALC parameters are defined for every traffic type. For HSPA traffic ALC
parameters are nulls. By using ALC parameters it is possible to guarantee QoS fo
r RABs
Activity Factor parameter is used to affect Average CPS SDU Rate (normal
ly AF is 1 for all traffic types but AMR, CCH and SRBs).
Average CPS SDU Rate = AF x MAX CPS SDU Rate
*PARAMETERS
Activity factor parameters are RNC specific.There are dedicated activity factors
for all bearers
-Recommendation for AMR is 0.6 after testing with lower activity factors
-NRT bearer (TTI 10 ms) cannot have activity lower than 0.1 in DL if dynamic sch
eduling for NRT is used if defined lower then 0.1 is used
All bearers are not listed here, only the different types of bearers
-Activity factors for NRT DCH traffic bearers
-Activity factors for CS DCH traffic bearers
-Activity factors for AMR DCH traffic bearers
-Activity factors for RT PS traffic bearers
-Activity factors for DCCH traffic bearers
-Activity factors for FACH and RACH traffic bearers
-Activity factors for PCH traffic bearers
SUMMARY
Transport Bearer Tuning (TBT) feature allows the operator to configure the activ
ity factors (ON-OFF ratio) of Iub transport bearers.
- By optimizing the activity factor of different transport bearers it is possibl
e to have higher number of simultaneous users in the system.
