There are many counters in M2000 to check CE Utilization,

- If you want to check how much CE available in hardware, use below two counters.
VS.HW.DLCreditAvaila
ble
VS.HW.ULCreditAvaila
ble
- If you want to check actual NodeB CE Usage and configure CE license, use below
counters
VS.LC.ULCreditAvailable.Share
d
VS.LC.DLCreditAvailable.Share
d
VS.LC.ULMean.LicenseGroup.S
hared
VS.LC.DLMean.LicenseGroup.S
hared
VS.LC.ULMax.LicenseGroup.Sh
ared
VS.LC.DLMax.LicenseGroup.Sh
ared
From above formulas, you can calculate, CE Utilization relative to hardware capacity
or license configured.
If you are using multiple UL resource groups, you can calculate UL Group wise CE
Utilization by using below counters.
VS.CE.ULAvailable.UlGr
oup
VS.CE.ULMax.UlGroup
VS.CE.ULMean.UlGroup
VS.CE.ULMin.UlGroup
If you want to check the CE usage in Cell level, use below counters,
VS.ULCE.Mean.Shar
ed
VS.ULCE.Max.Share
d
VS.DLCE.Mean.Shar
ed

VS.DLCE.Max.Share
d
If you want to check the credit consumption from the RNC side, use below counters,

Solution:
To prevent the CE congestion you should check ULCE utilization first. Also it is
important if you have Dynamic CE and CE Overbooking features activated.
And congestion counters just related to CAC algorithm result.
If you need to reduce ULCE congestion without adding WBBP boards you can try to
reduce number of 2ms TTI HSUPA users or totally disable them as a first step.
