Adaptive Configuration of Typical HSPA Rate Feature
Parameter Description
2 Overview
Overview
With High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), mobile operators can provide services with diversified
traffic rates. This is beneficial to mobile operators in many cases, such as in competing with
fixed-line operators and in justifying service fees. The typical traffic rates configured at the
Radio Network Controller (RNC), however, are fixed and separated, and may be inconsistent
with the maximum bit rates (MBRs) configured at the core network (CN).
If an inconsistency occurs, the RNC selects a typical traffic rate closest to the MBR assigned by
the CN. This rate, not the MBR, is then used for calculating the actual maximum traffic rate of
the UE. As a result, the rate used by the UE is inconsistent with the MBR configured at the CN,
and user experience may be affected.
With the feature Adaptive Configuration of Typical HSPA Rate, the RNC can calculate the
actual maximum traffic rate based on the MBR assigned by the CN when a traffic rate
inconsistency occurs between the RNC and CN. In this way, the rate assigned to the UE is
consistent with the MBR configured at the CN.
Figure 2-1 shows how this feature is implemented in the WCDMA system.

WCDMA RAN
Adaptive Configuration of Typical HSPA Rate Feature
Parameter Description
3 Principles
Principles
3.1 Overview
The CN sends the MBR to the RNC using an RAB assignment request message; The RNC
compares the MBR assigned by the CN, the maximum rate supported by the UE, the maximum
rate supported by the serving cell, and the rate specified in the license file, and selects the lowest
of these four values. The RNC uses the lowest value as MBRrnc. The RNC then maps the
MBRrnc onto a typical traffic rate.
Without the feature Adaptive Configuration of Typical HSPA Rate, if the MBRrnc cannot be
mapped onto any typical traffic rate, the RNC selects the typical traffic rate closest to the
MBRrnc. The RNC then identifies a Radio Access Bearer (RAB) index based on the MBRrnc
and the related attributes. These attributes are the CN domain, traffic class, source statistics
descriptor, and direction. These attributes and RAB indexes are stored in the Traffic Radio Bearer
(TRB) specifications table at the RNC. The MBRrnc corresponding to the RAB index is the
typical traffic rate. The RNC then sends the actual maximum traffic rate calculated based on the
typical traffic rate to the UE and configures the associated parameters for the service based on
the RAB index.
With this feature, if the MBRrnc cannot be mapped onto any typical traffic rate, the RNC
configures the associated parameters for the service according to the traffic-bearing parameters
for the typical traffic rate closest to the MBRrnc and the rate assigned to the UE is consistent
with the MBRrnc.
This feature is applicable only to best effort (BE) services over HSPA channels.

WCDMA RAN
Adaptive Configuration of Typical HSPA Rate Feature
Parameter Description
3 Principles
If two typical traffic rates are equally close to the MBRrnc, the higher traffic rate is selected.
For example, if the MBRrnc is 4520 kbit/s, traffic rates 3600 kbit/s and 5440 kbit/s are equally
close to the MBRrnc. In this situation, 5440 kbit/s is selected.

Parameter Description
3 Principles
NOTE
The CN sends the RNC an RAB Assignment Request message, carrying an MBR.
2.
The RNC compares the MBR assigned by the CN, the maximum rate supported by the UE,
the maximum rate supported by the serving cell, and the rate specified in the license file,
and selects the lowest of these four values. The RNC uses the lowest value to calculate the
actual maximum traffic rate. The RNC uses the lowest value as MBRrnc. Assume that the
MBRrnc is 5400 kbit/s.
3.
The rate assigned to the UE is consistent with the MBRrnc. In addition, the RNC obtains
the traffic-bearing parameters for the typical traffic rate 5440 kbit/s, which is closest to
5400 kbit/s.
4.
The RNC maps the MBRrnc onto the MAC rate and sends the MAC rate to the NodeB.
5.
Based on the MAC rate, the NodeB assigns resources to the UE.
6.
7.
The UE transmits data at the MAC rate mapped from the MBRrnc. The data transmission
is based on the traffic-bearing parameters for the typical traffic rate 5440 kbit/s.

Description
PS_CM_COV_H2D_0K_SWITCH: Whether to
allocate a 0 kbit/s DCH in the uplink and downlink to
HSPA services after the corresponding UE enters the
compressed mode due to poor coverage.When this
switch is turned on, a 0 kbit/s DCH is allocated to HSPA
services in the uplink and downlink after the
corresponding UE enters the compressed mode due to
poor coverage. 9.
PS_CMACTIVE_PROCESS_OPT_SWITCH:
Whether to refuse to allocate a high data rate to the PS
services of a UE in compressed mode when the UE
applies for a high data rate by moving to an interfrequency co-coverage cell using the directed retry
procedure.When this switch is turned on, the RNC
refuses to increase the data rate of the PS services of a
UE in compressed mode when the UE applies for a high
data rate by moving to an inter-frequency co-coverage
cell using the directed retry procedure. 10.
PS_CMTIMEOUT_UP_LIMIT_SWITCH: Whether to
refuse to increase the PS data rate of a UE that is in the
weak coverage state. Conventionally, a UE enters the
weak coverage state after reporting the event 2D and
exits the state after reporting the event 2F. During the
interval between the two events, the UE is regarded as
being in the weak coverage state. Note that the UE can
also exit the state through other processes, such as a hard
handover. When this switch is turned on, the RNC
refuses to increase the PS data rate of such a UE. 11.
PS_STREAM_IU_QOS_NEG_ENHANCE_SWITCH
: Whether the Iu QoS negotiation enhancement function
of PS streaming services takes effect. When this switch
is turned on, the Iu QoS negotiation Enhancement
function of PS streaming services takes effect. The Iu
QoS negotiation enhancement function of PS streaming
services includes the following: 1)The Iu QoS
negotiation on alternative guarantee bit rates of PS
streaming services is now supported. 2)The Iu QoS
negotiation function of PS services is supported in the
inter-RAT handover process. When this switch is turned
off, the Iu QoS negotiation Enhancement function of PS
streaming services does not take effect. 12.
PS_STREAM_IU_QOS_RENEG_SWITCH: Whether
Iu QoS re-negotiation is performed for PS streaming
services. When this switch is turned on, Iu QoS renegotiation is performed for streaming services. That is,
if the rate over the Uu interface changes after the RAB
establishment, the RNC sends the RAB MOBIFY
