2 Overview
After WRFD-010638 Dynamic CE Resource Management is applied, the RNC calculates the credit
resource usage of an admitted HSUPA UE by using the following formula:
Credit resource usage = Max (Credit resources required for ensuring the GBR, Credit resources required
for transmitting one RLC PDU)
In the preceding formula, GBR stands for guaranteed bit rate and RLC PDU stands for Radio Link
Control packet data unit. The RNC performs this calculation to ensure HSUPA user experience.
However, the actual CE usage of the NodeB is lower than the calculated credit resource usage of the
RNC. This is because the NodeB calculates the actual CE usage based on the UE rate. The UE rate is
lower than the GBR or the rate at which an RLC PDU is transmitted in most cases due to the high
penetration rate of smart phones with a 2 ms HSUPA transmission time interval (TTI). As a result, the
RNC may reject new UE access attempts even if the actual CE usage of the NodeB is low. This limits the
RNC's capability to perform admission control based on credit resource usage.
To address this issue, Huawei introduces CE Overbooking. With this feature, the NodeB calculates the
actual CE usage of admitted UEs, includes the calculated CE usage in a private information element (IE)
in the Common Measurement Report message, and sends the report to the RNC every measurement
report period that is configured by the TenMsecForUlBasicMeas parameter. The RNC then directly
uses the reported CE usage as the credit resource usage. This maximizes the RNC's capability to
perform admission control based on credit resource usage.
When the penetration rate of smart phones with a 2 ms HSUPA TTI is high, the average HSUPA service
throughput is low, and this feature provides the following benefits:
Reduces the credit resource usage of admitted UEs.
Increases the number of admitted UEs and the number of HSUPA UEs with a 2 ms TTI.
Increases the cell uplink throughput when Uu and Iub resources are sufficient.
Figure 2-1 shows the working principles of CE Overbooking.
Figure 2-1 CE Overbooking
NOTE
If layer 2 enhancement is enabled, the size of the RLC PDU provided in the preceding formula equals that of the smallest
RLC PDU. If layer 2 enhancement is disabled, the size of the RLC PDU is fixed. For details about the RLC PDU size, see
the HSPA Evolution Feature Parameter Description.
3 Technical Principles
CE Overbooking is under NodeB license control and has no switch parameter on the RNC or NodeB
side.
The credit resource usage that the NodeB periodically calculates and reports to the RNC involves the
credit resource usage of R99 UEs and that of HSUPA UEs.
Table 3-1 describes the methods for calculating the credit resource usage before and after this feature is
activated and presumes that the Dynamic CE Resource Management feature has been enabled.
Table 3-1 Credit resource calculation methods before and after activating this feature
CE Credit Resources Consumed by Admitted UEs
Overbooking
Not activated The RNC calculates the amount of credit resources consumed by admitted
UEs as follows:
For R99 UEs, the RNC calculates the amount of credit resources consumed
by admitted UEs based on the maximum bit rate (MBR).
For HSUPA UEs, the RNC calculates the amount of credit resources
consumed by admitted UEs using the following formula:
Amount of credit resources consumed by admitted UEs = Max (Amount of
credit resources required for ensuring the GBR, Amount of credit resources
required for transmitting one RLC PDU)
Activated The NodeB calculates the amount of credit resources consumed by admitted
UEs as follows:
For R99 UEs, the NodeB calculates the amount of credit resources
consumed by admitted UEs based on the MBR.
For HSUPA UEs using a 10 ms TTI, the NodeB adjusts the amount of credit
resources consumed by admitted UEs based on the UE data rate. The
amount after adjustment does not exceed the amount of credit resources
required for transmitting one RLC PDU.
For HSUPA UEs using a 2 ms TTI, the NodeB adjusts the amount of credit
resources consumed by admitted UEs based on the UE data rate and the
setting of the REVDPARA4 parameter. The amount after adjustment does
not exceed the amount of credit resources required for transmitting one RLC
PDU.
NOTE
REVDPARA4 indicates the minimum CE reserved for admitted 2 ms TTI HSUPA UE. Its
value rang is 1 to 8 with the default value of 4 (unit: CE). If this parameter is set to a value
beyond its value range, the system uses the default parameter value. A smaller value of
this parameter leads to a larger number of admitted users. In this case, the call drop rate
may increase and user experience cannot be guaranteed. A larger value of this
parameter leads to a smaller number of admitted users. In this case, the call drop rate
does not increase and user experience can be guaranteed.
In the uplink, one CE equals two credits.
In the downlink, one CE equals one credit.
This feature reduces the credit resource usage of admitted UEs and increases the remaining credit
resources. This has the following advantages:
Network Performance
CE Overbooking has the following impact on network performance:
In scenarios where a large number of admission rejections occur due to severe congestion of uplink
credit resources, CE Overbooking allows more UEs to be admitted and increases the radio access
success rate. (This is because CE Overbooking takes the uplink traffic volume into consideration when
calculating the remaining credit resources, therefore increasing the availability of credit resources.)
However, when more UEs transmit data simultaneously, the HSUPA call drop rate may increase due to
congestion of CE and Uu resources.
In scenarios where TTI switching or LDR frequently occurs due to basic congestion of uplink credit
resources, the number of HSUPA UEs with a 2 ms TTI increases because CE Overbooking increases
the availability of credit resources. However, HSUPA UEs with a 2 ms TTI have poorer
anti-interference capabilities than HSUPA UEs with a 10 ms TTI. Therefore, the call drop rate may
increase in poor coverage because HSUPA UEs with a 2 ms TTI are more vulnerable to call drops
than HSUPA UEs with a 10 ms TTI.
NOTE
After CE Overbooking is enabled, the amount of credit resources consumed by admitted UEs is related to the actual UE
rate. If the amount of credit resources consumed by admitted UEs is large due to high actual UE rate, the handover
success rate and the RRC connection setup success rate may decrease because the reserved resources may be
consumed by admitted UEs. This problem has a low probability of occurrence and network performance is generally not
affected.
After CE Overbooking is enabled, there is a possibility that admission rejections increase over the Iub
interface if a large number of UEs has accessed the network. However, CE Overbooking does not
affect the UE access success rate.
Before CE Overbooking is enabled, the RNC updates the consumption of CE resources for UE
admission upon UE access or release.
After CE Overbooking is enabled, the NodeB updates the consumption of CE resources for UE
admission and reports to the RNC every 1s. During the report interval, the RNC cannot learn about the
accurate consumption of CE resources, resulting in information inconsistency between the RNC and
the NodeB. Therefore, there is a possibility that some UEs are admitted by the RNC but fail to be
admitted by the NodeB.
9 Engineering Guidelines
9.1 When to Use CE Overbooking
To improve RNC's capability to perform admission control based on credit resource usage, CE
Overbooking should be enabled in a network that meets all the following conditions:
There are a large number of smart phones, especially HSUPA UEs with a 2 ms TTI.
Credit resources are insufficient.
The HSUPA throughput of cells under the NodeB is low.
The RAN has rejected the access request of a UE due to uplink credit resource congestion.
The average data rate of HSUPA UEs with a 2 ms TTI is less than or equal to 150 kbit/s.
9.3 Deployment
9.3.1 Deployment Requirements
Dependencies on Hardware
The 3900 series base station must be configured with the WBBPb, WBBPd, or WBBPf board.
The DBS3800 must be configured with the EBBC or EBBCd board.
TheBTS3812E, BTS3812A, and BTS3812AE must be configured with the EBBI, EBOI, or EULPd
board.
Dependencies on Other Features
Before enabling this feature, the feature WRFD-010638 Dynamic CE Resource Management must be
enabled.
License
The license "CE overbooking(Per NodeB)" on the NodeB side has been activated. For details about
the license items and how to activate the license, see License Management Feature Parameter
Description.
9.3.3 Precautions
This feature should be used with Huawei professional services.
NOTE
It is good practice to retain the default value of Reserved Parameter 4 (REVDPARA4).
It is good practice to set the parameter in step 2 so that the network can admit more users.

2. RESERVED_SWITCH_1_BIT3: Whether to allow the
RNC to limit the maximum data rate for HSDPA PS
services after a CS service setup triggers an F2D state
transition. When the switch is set to ON, the maximum
data rate for HSDPA PS services is unlimited after a CS

PS services is limited after a CS service setup triggers an
F2D state transition.
3. RESERVED_SWITCH_1_BIT4: Whether to allow the
RNC to optimize the algorithm of TTI dynamic switching
for differentiated BE services based on fairness. When the
switch is set to ON, the RNC does not update the
throughput measurement control parameter for this
algorithm if the parameter does not change after a
handover is complete. In this case, the RNC triggers this
algorithm upon receiving a TTI measurement report.
When the switch is set to OFF, the RNC updates the
throughput measurement control parameter for this
algorithm after the handover is complete and prohibits this
algorithm from triggering dynamic TTI shifts from 2 ms to
10 ms in the following 5s.
Disuse statement: This parameter is used temporarily in
patch versions and will be replaced with a new parameter
in later versions. The new parameter ID reflects the
