The WCDMA system is a self interference system. As the load of the WCDMA
system increases, the interference rises. A relatively high interference may affect
the coverage and Quality of Service (QoS) of established services. Therefore,
capacity, coverage and QoS of the WCDMA system are mutually affected. The
purpose of load control is to maximize the system capacity while ensuring coverage
and QoS.

Cell Load Factor: UL = 1 noise rise =
noise rise PN
PN: Background noise

In the uplink, the RTWP value can be measured easily. Therefore, the UL cell load
factor (based on RTWP) can be used to describe UL load.

The definition of DL load is very different from the definition of UL load, the
adjacent cell interference factor and the non-orthogonality factor in the downlink
are very difficult to measure and calculate, therefore, the DL cell load factor can
not be used to describe the DL cell load. Then, the transmission power is used to
describe DL load.

PUC CAC LDR

IAC OLC
1. Before UE access 2. During UE access 3. After UE access
PUC: Potential User Control Time
CAC: Call Admission Control IAC: Intelligent Admission Control

LDR: Load Reshuffling OLC: Overload Control
Load control algorithm can be classified into three parts according to the different
working states of UE.
Before UE accesses, the PUC algorithms will function. RNC will monitor the cell
load periodically. If the current cell load exceeds a specific threshold, RNC will
modify the cell selection and re-selection parameters, in order that UE can select
the low-load cell easily when UE will initiate some services and work at CELL-DCH
state. This algorithm aims at UE which working at IDLE mode, CELL-FACH state,
CELL-PCH state or URA-PCH state in this cell.
During UE accesses, the CAC and IAC algorithms will function. RNC will judge
whether the new access is admissible.
After UE accesses, LDR and OLC algorithms will function. There are some
practical algorithms to decrease the cell load. When a cell is in basic congestion,
the RNC shall select some UEs for inter-frequency handover. When a cell is in
overload congestion, the RNC shall select some UEs to release if failing to release
the cell from overload congestion by BE service TF control.

Load Control Algorithms
NodeB transmit
power (noise)
Icons for different load levels
Cell load
OLC starts: to reduce the TFs of BE

subscribers, and release some UEs forcibly
CAC or IAC: to prevent new calls into cells with heavy load
No Load DRD starts: to enable rejected UEs to retry neighboring cells or GSM cells
control
PUC starts: to enable UEs in idle mode to camp on cells with light load
LDR starts: to check and release initial congestion in cells
In a cell, the higher the cell load, the higher the NodeB transmit power (noise).
In this diagram, different icons indicates different load levels. And for different load
levels, the different load control algorithm will function.

Load Measurement
The objectives of LDM (LoaD Measurement)
Measure the system load
Filter the measured data according to the requirement of different

load control algorithms
Major Measurement Quantities

Uplink Received Total Wideband Power (RTWP)
Downlink Transmitted Carrier Power (TCP)
TCP of all codes not used for HSDPA transmission
Power Requirement for Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) on HS-DSCH
Provided Bit Rate (PBR) on HS-DSCH
For LDR and OLC algorithms, the LDM algorithm needs to decide whether the
system works in basic congestion or overload congestion mode and to notify related
algorithms for handling.
Delay susceptibilities of PUC, CAC, LDR, and OLC to common measurement are
different. When some or all the algorithms use the same common measurement,
the LDM must apply different smoothed filter coefficients in order to get rippling and
timely common measurement as required.

Priority
The service of user with low priority will be affected by the
load control algorithms first
Three kinds of priority

User Priority
User Integrate Priority
RAB Integrate Priority
User Priority: mainly applying to provide different QoS for different users. Eg.,
setting different GBR according to the level of users for BE service.
User Integrate Priority: defining different ARP (Allocation/Retention Priority) to the
user with the same User Priority.
RAB Integrate Priority: considering ARP, traffic class, THP (Traffic Handling Priority)
synthetically.
20
User Priority
There are three levels of user priority (1, 2, and 3)
gold (high), silver (middle) and copper (low) user
User priority Gold Silver Copper gold

user
Pay $100
Uplink 128kbps 64kbps 32kbps for 3G
services
Downlink 128kbps 64kbps 32kbps
In CN HLR, we can set this priority; CN send ARP and user priority to RNC
21
User Priority
The relationship between user priority and ARP is configurable
The typical relationship as follow:
ARP 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
User Priority 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3
The relationship can be configured through SET

USERPRIORITY, and queried through LST USERPRIORITY
ARP 15 is always the lowest priority and it cannot be configured.
22
RAB Integrate Priority
The values of RAB Integrate Priority are set according to the
following parameters
PRIORITYREFERENCE (Integrated Priority Configured
Reference)
Value range: ARP, TrafficClass
Recommended value: ARP
CARRIERTYPEPRIORIND (Indicator of Carrier Type Priority)

Value range: DCH, HSDPA
Recommended value: DCH
Set the parameter through SET USERPRIORITY, and query it through LST
USERPRIORITY.
If the value of the parameter is set to Traffic Class, the integrate priority abides by
the following rules:
Classes of services: conversational -> streaming -> interactive -> background
Services of the same class: priority based on Allocation/Retention Priority (ARP)
values
Only for the interactive service of the same ARP value: priority based on THP
Services of the same class and priority: HSDPA or DCH service preferred on the
basis of the value of the Indicator of Carrier Type Priority parameter
If the value of the parameter is set to ARP, the integrate priority abides by the
following rules:
ARP1 -> ARP2 -> ARP3 -> ARP14
Same ARP value: conversational -> streaming -> interactive -> background
THP
Indicator of Carrier Type Priority parameter
23
Example for RAB Integrate Priority
Based on ARP, HSDPA priority is higher

B Interactive 1 HSDPA
A Interactive 1 DCH

When the user just has one RAB, User integrate priority is the same as the service
of the RAB integrate priority;
For multiple RAB users, the integrate priority of the user is based on the service of
the highest priority.
24
User Integrate Priority
For multiple-RAB users, the integrate priority of the user is
based on the service of the highest priority. User integrate
priority is mainly used to select different users during
LDR/OLC.

Idle state CCH state
The function of PUC is to balance traffic load among inter-frequency cells. By

modifying cell selection and reselection parameters and broadcasting them through
system information, PUC leads UEs to cell with light load. The UE may be in idle
mode, Cell_FACH state, Cell _PCH state, URA_PCH state
28
PUC Realization
PUC can modify inter-frequency cell reselection parameters
to control the user distribution between cells.
Sintersearch: when the load of a cell is Heavy, PUC will
increase this parameter; when the load of a cell is Light, PUC
will decrease this parameter.
QOffset1sn and QOffset2sn: when the load of a cell is Heavy,

PUC will decrease these parameters; when the load of a cell is
Light, PUC will increase these parameters.
According to the load level of a cell, system will adjust the cell-reselection
parameters in SIB3, 11 and 12:
1. Sintersearch:
When the UE detects that the quality of the service cell (CPICH Ec/N0 measured by
the UE) is lower than the sum of the minimum quality criterion of the service cell
(Qqualmin) plus this threshold, it will start the inter-frequency cell reselection
process.
If this parameters are too high, cell reselection will probably start frequently,
resulting in UE battery waste; If they are too low, cell reselection will probably start
difficultly.
2. QOffset1sn and QOffset2sn:
These parameters are offsets of CPICH measured values of neighboring cells.
QOffset1sn is used for the RSCP measurement and the neighboring cell
measurement value participates in cell reselection sequencing after this offset is
deducted from it. QOffset2sn is used for the Ec/No measurement and the
neighboring cell measurement value participates in cell reselection sequencing after
this offset is deducted from it.
The bigger these values are, the smaller the probability of selecting the neighboring
cell will be; the smaller these values are, the bigger the probability of selecting the
neighboring cell will be.

SPUCHYST (Load level division hysteresis)

Set the following parameters through ADD CELLPUC, query it through LST
CELLPUC, and modify it through MOD CELLPUC.
SPUCHEAVY (Load level division threshold 1):

It is used to decide whether the cell load level is "Heavy" or not. If the load of a cell
is equal to or higher than this threshold, the load level of this cell is heavy. If the
load level of a cell is heavy, the PUC algorithm will configure selection/reselection
parameters for this cell to lead the UE camping on this cell to reselect another inter-
frequency neighboring cell with light load.
SPUCLIGHT (Load level division threshold 2):
It is used to decide whether the cell load level is "Light" or not. If the load of a cell is
equal to or lower than this threshold, the load level of this cell is light. If the load
level of a cell is light, the PUC algorithm will configure selection/reselection
parameters for this cell to lead the UE to reselect this cell rather than the previous
inter-frequency neighboring cell with heavy load.
SPUCHYST (Load level division hysteresis):
The hysteresis used while judging cell load level, it is used to avoid the
unnecessary ping-pong of a cell between two load levels due to tiny load change.

Why we need CAC?
WCDMA is an interference limited system, after a new call is
admitted, the system load will be increased
If a cell is high loaded, a new call will cause ongoing user

dropped
We must keep the coverage planed by the Radio Network

Planning
CAC is needed under such scenarios:

1. New call
2. New RAB(s) for ongoing call
3. Handover
4. Bandwidth increasing reconfiguration (AMRC, DCCC)
36
Flow chart of CAC
The admission decision is based on:

Cell available code resource: managed in RNC
Cell available power resource: DL/UL load measured in Node B
NodeB resource state, that is, NodeB credits : Reported by Node B
Available Iub transport layer resource, that is, Iub transmission bandwidth:
managed in RNC
HSDPA user number (only for HSDPA service)
HSUPA user number (only for HSUPA service)
Only when all of these resources are available can a call be admitted.
37
CAC Code Resource Admission
For handover services
The current remaining code resource should be enough for the
service
For other R99 services

RNC shall ensure the remaining code does not exceed the
configurable thresholds after admission of the new service
For HSDPA services

The code resource admission is not needed
For handover services, the code resource admission is successful if the current
remaining code resource is enough for the service.
For other R99 services, RNC shall ensure the remaining code does not exceed the
configurable O thresholds after admission of the new service.
For HSDPA services, the reserved codes are shared by all HSDPA services; so the
code resource admission is not needed. The RNC adjusts the reserved HS-PDSCH
codes according to the real-time usage status of the codes.
38
Parameters for Code Resource Admission
DLHOCECODERESVSF (DL HandOver Credit and Code
Reserved SF)
Value Range:0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Physical value Range: SF4, SF8, SF16, SF32, SF128, SF256,

SFOFF
Recommended value: SF32
Configuration Rule and Restriction:

[Dl HandOver Credit and Code Reserved SF] >= max ([Dl LDR
Credit SF reserved threshold], [Cell LDR SF reserved threshold])
Set this parameter through ADD CELLCAC, query it through LST CELLCAC, and
modify it through MOD CELLCAC.
DLHOCECODERESVSF (Dl HandOver Credit and Code Reserved SF):

This parameter is the Downlink Credit and Code Reserved by Spread Factor for
Handover service. SFOFF means that none of them are reserved for Handover.
If the DL spare resource can not satisfy the reserved resource after the access of a
new service, the service will be rejected.
The parameter of [Dl HandOver Credit and Code Reserved SF] must be not less
than the either of [Dl LDR Credit SF reserved threshold] and [Cell LDR SF
reserved threshold].
The parameters of [Dl LDR Credit SF reserved threshold] and [Cell LDR SF
reserved threshold] are set in ADD CELLLDR and MOD CELLLDR, and they can be
listed by LST CELLLDR.
39
CAC Power Resource Admission
Algorithm 1: based on UL/DL load measurement and load
prediction (RTWP and TCP)
The algorithm is easy to implement, but it is affected by the
result of RTWP and TCP measurement
Algorithm 2: based on Element Number of User (ENU)

The algorithm is no need to measure RTWP and TCP, but the
calculation is more complex
Algorithm 3: loose call admission control algorithm

Similar to algorithm 1, but the prediction of needed power of a
new call will be set to zero
When RTWP and/or TCP measurement value are/is invalid/unavailable, the CAC
will change from algorithm 1 to 2 automatically.
When measurement are/is valid/available, the CAC will change back to algorithm 1
automatically.
In principle, a request will be admitted only when UL and DL are both admitted. But
if UL or DL CAC switch is closed, only one direction CAC also can be realized.

load factor.
2. The RNC calculates the uplink load increment UL based on the service
request.
3. The RNC uses the formula UL,predicted=UL + UL to forecast the
uplink load factor.
4. By comparing the forecasted uplink load factor UL,predicted with the
corresponding threshold (UL threshold of Conv AMR service, UL threshold of
Conv non_AMR service, UL threshold of other services, UL Handover access
threshold), the RNC decides whether to accept the access request or not.

by multiplying the maximum downlink transmit power by this TCP.
2. The RNC calculates the downlink load increment P based on the service
request and the current load.
3. The RNC forecasts the downlink load factor.
4. By comparing the downlink load factor with the corresponding threshold (DL

The ENUmax of DL is very different from the ENUmax of UL.

The UL ENUmax is calculated by the system automatically.
The DL ENUmax can be configured through parameter:

The procedure for ENU resource decision is as follows:

1. The RNC obtains the total ENU of all exist users ENUtotal.
2. The RNC get the ENU of the new incoming user ENUnew.
3. The RNC forecast the ENU load.
4. By comparing the forecasted ENU load with the corresponding threshold (the
same threshold as power resource), the RNC decides whether to accept the
access request or not.

factor. Then, compare it with UL admission threshold. If it is not higher than the
threshold, the call is admitted; otherwise, rejected.
DLCCHLOADRSRVCOEFF (DL common channel load reserved coefficient):

This patameter is used for downlink common channel, the effect of this parameter
on the network performance is similar with ULCCHLOADFACTOR.

Admission (2)
ULCONVAMRTHD (UL threshold of Conv AMR service)
ULCONVNONAMRTHD (UL threshold of Conv non_AMR

service)
The UL load factor thresholds include this parameter, [UL threshold of Conv AMR
service], [UL handover access threshold], and [UL threshold of other services]. The
four parameters can be used to limit the proportion between conversational service,
handover user and other services in a specific cell, and to guarantee the access
priority of conversational service.
ULCONVAMRTHD (UL threshold of Conv AMR service):

This parameter is shared by algorithm 1 and algorithm 2.
If this parameter is too high, the system load after admission will probably be too
high, which will affect the system stability and result in system congestion;
If it is too low, there will be a bigger probability that users will be rejected, and some
resources will be idled and wasted.
ULCONVNONAMRTHD (UL threshold of Conv non_AMR service):

This parameter is also shared by algorithm 1 and algorithm 2.

conversational service, handover user and other services in a specific cell, and to
guarantee the access priority of conversational AMR service.
DLCONVAMRTHD (DL threshold of Conv AMR service):

This parameter is shared by algorithm 1 and algorithm 2.
If it is too high, the downlink coverage of the cell will be reduced, the neighboring

Why we need IAC?
The disadvantage of CAC:
For PS NRT (Non-Real Time) services, CAC is not flexible
No consideration about the priority of different users
No consideration about Directed Retry after CAC rejection
Intelligent means the algorithm can increase admission

successful rate
IAC can increase admission successful rate through the following methods:
1. The data rate of PS service is not fixed, so maybe the cell can admit the UE
after the data rate is decreased.
2. Since the service is non-real time, the users can wait a short time, then access
to the cell.
3. The user with high priority can preempt the resource of users with low priority.
4. If the load of neighboring cell is not Heavy, UE may be admitted to the
neighboring cell directly.
58
Flow chart of IAC
The IAC procedure includes rate negotiation, DRD, preemption and queuing.
59
IAC Rate negotiation
Iu QoS Negotiation: based
Maximum allowed bit rate on the UE capability
384kbps Physical layer capability
Transport channel capability

256kbps
RLC capability
128kbps
RAB Downsizing: based on
Initial / Target data rate
64kbps system load
Channelization codes
32kbps
Iub transmission resources
Radio resources
RAB modify, SRNSR request, reconfiguration

Scenarios: RAB setup
Iu QoS Negotiation (Maximum expected rate negotiation):

In PS domain, CN will negotiate with UE about the access rate. For every service,
CN will send a QoS( includes the required data rate) to UTRAN, and UE will report
its capability ( the maximum supported rate) to UTRAN. After negotiation, the
maximum supported rate of UE will be the maximum negotiation rate.
RAB Downsizing (Initial/target rate negotiation):

To save system resources and improve the admission success rate, BE services
does not require access at the maximum expected rate at setup. In stead, a proper
rate is adopted for initial access, the rate is smaller than or equal to the maximum
expected rate and bigger than or equal to the lowest guarantee rate (usually 8kbps)
according to the cell load information. After access, the rate is adjusted higher when
the traffic requires and system resources allow it to do so.
The negotiation is based on cell load information, including:
Uplink and downlink radio bearer states of the cell
Iub resource state
Minimum spreading factor supported
HSDPA capability
60
IAC Direct Retry based on service
Data service can be retry to HSDPA cells for better QoS
Data
service
Frequency A CELL2 R99 CELL 1 R99
Frequency B
CELL A HSDPA
61
IAC Preemption
The user with high priority can preempt the resource of
users with low priority
Triggering resource for Preemption

Power (or ENU), SF (spreading factor), Iub transmission
resource, NodeB CE
High priority
Preempting resource
Low priority
In the service setup, modification, hard handover and transition-in scenarios, if

service request supports preempting capability (core network configuration) when
application for cell resources fails, preempting will be executed, and the resource of
lower-priority user supporting preempting is released to set up the service request.
The preemption procedure is as follows:
1.The preemption algorithm determines which radio link sets can be preempted
according to the following preemption rules:
- High priority user preempt the resource of low priority users
- Preempting the resource of users with low priority first
- Preempting single service user first
- Preempting UEs as few as possible, that is, choose the UEs that can release the
most resources
- Preempting should follow this sequence: channelization codes first, then Iub
transmission resources, radio resources last
2.Release resources occupied by candidate UEs.
3.The requested service uses the released resources to access the network directly
without further admission decision.
62
IAC Queuing
After CAC rejection, UE can wait a moment and queue, then
try to admit again
Queuing priority: Pqueue = Tmax Telapsed

Tmax is the maximum time in the queue, default value is 5s
Telapsed is the time has queued
The queuing algorithm is triggered by poll timer.

The specific processing is as follows:
1. Reject this request if the actual wait time of each of the other requests is longer
than the maximum queuing time of this request.
2. Calculate the weights of all requests in the queue. The weight: W = (Tmax
Telapsed) / Tmax * Priority Level of the service.
3. Choose the request with the smallest weight to attempt resource allocation.
4. Put it back into the queue with the time stamp unchanged if this request is
rejected.
5. Choose the request with the smallest weight from the rest and performs
another attempt until admitting a request or rejecting all requests.
63
IAC Directed Retry based on Load
Balance
Service will be set up to the cell with lightest load
The advantages
Keeping the load of the network balanced
Supporting higher data rate for the user
Cell 1 Cell 1
Cell 2 Cell 2
RRC RAB
Connection
If the load of neighboring cell is lighter than current cell, UE may be admitted to the
neighboring cell directly.
The RAB DRD procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC determines the admission of the inter-frequency target cell for blind
handover.
2. If the admission is accepted, DRD procedure is performed for the inter-
frequency target cell for blind handover.
3. The RNC starts the RL setup procedure to complete the inter-frequency hard
handover.
4. The RNC starts the RB setup procedure to complete the inter-frequency hard
handover on the Uu interface and the service setup.

Parameters for RAB Downsizing
ULBETRAFFINITBITRATE (Uplink initial access rates) &
DLBETRAFFINITBITRATE (Downlink initial access rates)
Value range: D8, D16, D32, D64, D128, D144, D256, D384,
D768, D1024, D1536, D2048
Physical Value range: 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 144, 256, 384, 768,
1024, 1536, 2048, Unit: kbps
Default value: D64, namely 64kbps
Set the parameter through SET FRC, and query it through LST FRC.
When the initial rate selection (RAB Downsizing) function is enabled, this value is
the uplink/downlink initial access rate when the BE service is set up. If this rate
access fails to satisfy the current load condition, then the actual initial access rate is
the negotiated rate based on this rate.
When the RAB Downsizing function is disabled, this parameter is the
uplink/downlink initial access rate when the BE service is set up.
The higher this parameter set, the shorter the time fro the BE service to reach the
maximum rate but the easier for adjustment downward through negotiation when
the system is congested, so it makes no sense to set it too high.
The smaller this parameter, the easier for the BE service to access as per this rate,
but, if it is set too low, it will take a longer time to adjust to the required rate when
there is a service requirement.

LCC (Load Congestion Control) consist of LDR (Load Reshuffling) and OLC
(OverLoad Control).
In basic congestion state, LDR will be used to optimize resource distribution, the
main rules is not to affect the feeling of users as possible as we can.
In overload state, OLC will be used to release overload state quickly, keep system
stability and the service of high priority users.
73
LDR (Load Reshuffling)
Reasons
When the cell is in basic congestion state, new coming calls
could be easily rejected by system
Purpose
Optimizing cell resource distribution
Decreasing load level, increasing admission successful rate
Triggering of LDR
Power resources, code resource, Iub resources or Iub
bandwidth, NodeB Credit resource
The resources that can trigger the basic congestion of the cell are:
Power resources
If the current UL/DL load of the R99 cell is not lower than UL/DL LDR Trigger
threshold (basic congestion control threshold in UL/DL), the cell works in basic
congestion state and the related load reshuffling actions are taken.
Code resource
If the current remaining code of the cell is higher than Cell SF reserve threshold,
code congestion is triggered and related load reshuffling actions are taken.
Iub resources or Iub bandwidth
Iub congestion control in both the uplink and downlink is NodeB-oriented. Load
trigger threshold and load release threshold are set for the uplink and the downlink
separately.
Iub congestion control is implemented in a separate process module, so its
functionality does not controlled by LDR switchers.
NodeB Credit resource
If the UL/DL current remaining credit resource is higher than Ul Credit SF reserved
threshold/ Dl Credit SF reserved threshold, credit congestion is triggered and
related load reshuffling actions are taken.

LDR Actions - Inter-frequency Load
Handover
Target cells
Load difference between current load and the basic
congestion trigger threshold of target cell is larger than
UL/DL Inter-freq cell load handover load space threshold
Target users
Based on user priority and the current service rate
Result
The load of two cells is lower than the basic congestion
trigger threshold
The user with low priority hand over to the Light load cells
It is implemented as follows:
1. The LDR check whether the existing cell has a target cell of inter-frequency
blind handover. If there is no such a target cell, the action fails, and the LDR
performs the next action.
2. The LDR checks whether the load difference between the current load and the
basic congestion trigger threshold of each target cell for blink handover is larger
than UL/DL Inter-freq cell load handover load space threshold (Both uplink and
downlink condition must be all fulfilled). If the basic congestion trigger threshold
is not set, the admission threshold of the cell is used. If the difference is not
larger than the threshold, the action fails. The LDR performs the next action.
3. If the LDR finds out a target cell that meets the specified blind handover
conditions, the LDR selects one UE to make an inter-frequency blind handover,
depending on the UEs integrate priority and occupied bandwidth. The selected
UE has lower integrate priority and its bandwidth is less than and has the least
difference between the UL/DL Inter-freq cell load handover maximum
bandwidth parameter. If the LDR cannot find such a UE, the action fails. The
LDR performs the next action.
77
LDR Actions - BE Rate Reduction
Candidate RABs
The data rate of BE service is larger than GBR
Target RABs
Rank the candidate RABs by the integrate priority, the low
priority RABs reduce BE rate first
Result
Cell load is decreased under basic congestion trigger threshold
The BE service rate of low priority RABs is limited in GBR
BE rate reduction is implemented by reconfiguring the bandwidth. Bandwidth

reconfiguration requires signaling interaction on the Uu interface. This procedure
is relatively long.
The LDR algorithm is implemented as follows:
1. Based on the integrate priority, the LDR sorts the RABs in descending order.
The top RABs related to the BE services whose rates are higher than a
threshold (target rate of Uplink/Downlink BE guarantee bit rate on DCH) are
selected. The target rate is ULPSBEGUARRATE/DLPSBEGUARRATE which is
configured DCCC algorithm (ADD CELLDCCC).
2. The bandwidth of the selected services is reduced to the specified rate. The
number of selected RABs is determined by UL/DL LDR-BE rate reduction RAB
number.
3. If services can be selected, the action is successful. If services cannot be
selected, the action fails. The LDR performs the next action.
4. The BE rate reduction algorithm is controlled by the DCCC algorithm switch. BE
rate reduction can be performed only when the DCCC algorithm switch is turned
on.
78
LDR Actions - Uncontrolled Real-time
QoS Renegotiation
Target RABs
Rank the candidate RABs by the integrate priority, the service
with lowest priority and current data rate higher than GBR will
be selected
Result
The data rate of low priority service is reduced to GBR
The load is reduced by adjusting the rate of the real-time services through
uncontrolled real-time OoS renegotiation.
Upon receipt of the message, the CN sends the RAB ASSIGNMENT
REQUEST message to the RNC for RAB parameter reconfiguration. Based on
this function, the RNC can adjust the rate of real-time services to reduce the
load.
1. Based on the integrate priority, the LDR sorts the real-time services in the PS
domain in descending order. The top services are selected for QoS
renegotiation.
2. The LDR performs QoS renegotiation for the selected services. The GBR
during service setup is the maximum rate of the service after QoS renegotiation.
3. The RNC initiates the RAB Modification Request message to the CN for QoS
renegotiation.
4. If the RNC cannot find a proper service for QoS renegotiation, the action fails.
The LDR performs the next action.
79
LDR Actions - Inter-system Handover
In the CS/PS Domain
Target user
Based on the integrate priority, sorting the UEs in descending
order. The top CS/PS services are selected
GSM cell
WCDMA cell
Result
The 2G and 3G systems have different cell sizes and coverage modes.
Therefore, blind handover across systems is not taken into account.
The LDR is implemented in the downlink (e.g.) as follows:
1. Based on the integrate priority, the LDR sorts the UEs in descending order. The
top CS/PS services are selected.
2. For the selected UEs, the LDR sends the load handover command to the inter-
system handover module to ask the UEs to hand over to the 2G system.
3. The handover module decides to trigger inter-system handover, depending on
the capability of the UE and the capability of the algorithm switch to support the
compression mode.
4. This action is successful if any load handover UE is found. Otherwise, this
action fails.
80
LDR Actions - AMR Rate Reduction
Target user (downlink e.g.)
Candidate RABs: users accessing the AMR services
(conversational) and with the bit rate higher than the GBR
Rank the candidate RABs by the integrate priority, the AMR

service with lowest priority will be selected
Result
The AMR user with low priority is reduced to low voice rate
mode
In the WCDMA system, voice services work in eight AMR modes. Each mode
has its own rate. Therefore, mode control is functionally equal to rate control.
1. Based on the integrate priority, the LDR sorts the RABs in the descending
order. The top UEs accessing the AMR services (conversational) and with the
bit rate higher than the GBR are selected.
2. In downlink, the RNC sends the Rate Control request message through the Iu-
UP to the CN to adjust the AMR rate to the GBR.
3. In uplink, The RNC sends the TFC CONTROL command to the UE to adjust the
AMR rate to the assured rate.
4. If the RNC cannot find a proper service for AMR rate reduction, the action fails.
The LDR performs the next action.
81
LDR Actions - Code Reshuffling

SF=64
1 2 4 A 6 B
SF=128
When code resources are in basic congestion state, sufficient code resources
can be reserved for subsequent service access through code reshuffling.
1. Select a subtree. Ensure that the number of users in the subtree is not higher
than Max user number of code adjust.
2. Treat each user in the subtree as a new user and allocate code resources to
each user.
3. Initiate the reconfiguration procedure for each user in the subtree and
reconfigure the channel codes of the users to the newly-allocated code
resources.
4. The reconfiguration procedure on the air interface is implemented through the
PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message and that on the Iub
interface through the RL RECONFIGURATION message.
82
LDR Actions - MBMS Power Reduction
Purpose
The downlink power load can be reduced by lowering power on
MBMS traffic channels

1. Select all RABs with low priorities.
2. The RNC initiates the reconfiguration procedure and resets the transmit power
of MTCH (FACH) to the minimum value. The transmit power corresponds to the
MBMS service.
3. The reconfiguration procedure on the Iub interface is implemented through the
COMMON TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION REQUEST
message.

Parameters for Triggering of Power
Resource (1)
ULLDRTRIGTHD (UL LDR trigger threshold)
ULLDRRELTHD (UL LDR release threshold)

Set the following parameters through ADD CELLLDM, query it through LST
CELLLDM, and modify it through MOD CELLLDM.
When uplink basic congestion status is triggered, the uplink LDR action will be
started. LDR control objective is to preserve space for admission to increase the
success rate. Therefore under the current policy, the LDR trigger threshold shall be
so set that the congestion is less than or close to the concerned admission
threshold index.
The smaller the LDR trigger threshold and release threshold, the easier the system
is in preliminary congestion status, the harder it is released from this status, the
easier the LDR action happens, and the more likely the users are affected. However,
since the resources are preserved, the admission success rate becomes higher.
The carrier shall make tradeoff between these factors.
The uplink LDR trigger thresholds must be greater than uplink LDR release
thresholds, and the recommended difference between the two thresholds is larger
than 10%, otherwise maybe the basic congestion state is Ping-Pong.

When downlink basic congestion status is triggered, the downlink LDR action will be
started. LDR control objective is to preserve space for admission to increase the
success rate. Therefore under the current policy, the LDR trigger threshold shall be
so set that the congestion is less than or close to the concerned admission
threshold index.
The smaller the LDR trigger threshold and release threshold, the easier the system
is in preliminary congestion status, the harder it is released from this status, the
easier the LDR action happens, and the more likely the users are affected. However,

Set the following parameters through ADD CELLLDR, query it through LST
CELLLDR, and modify it through MOD CELLLDR.
CELLLDRSFRESTHD (Cell LDR SF reserved threshold):

The code adjusting could be done only when the minimum available SF of a cell is
larger than this threshold. The parameter of [Dl HandOver Credit and Code
Reserved SF] must be not less than the one of [Cell LDR SF reserved threshold].

larger than this threshold. The parameter of [UL/DL HandOver Credit and Code
Reserved SF] must be not less than the one of [UL/DL LDR Credit SF reserved
threshold].

CELLCAC and MOD CELLCAC, and they can be listed by LST CELLCAC.
88
Parameters for LDR Period
LDRPERIODTIMERLEN (LDR period timer length)
Value range: 1 to 86400 unit: second
Recommended value: 10, namely 10s

Not less than 8s
Set this parameters through SET LDCPERIOD, query it through LST LDCPERIOD.
When preliminary congestion happens, the LDM (Load Measurement) module

sends period of preliminary congestion instruction (i.e., LDR execution period) to
LDR.
Unlike OLC control mechanism, LDR itself has no action timer and relies on LDMs
sending congestion instruction periodically to trigger. This mechanism originates
from the initial algorithm that tends to use period report control for LDR and time
report control for OLC.
The smaller the parameter value is, the more frequently LDR action is executed, in
which case the load can be decreased quickly. However, if the value is too low, an
LDR action may overlap the previous one before the result of the previous one is
displayed in LDM. The larger the value, the more likely this problem can be
prevented. If the value is set too large, the LDR action may be executed very rarely,
failing to reach the expected purpose of lowering the load timely.
89
Parameters for LDR Action Sequence

adjust)
Value range: 1 to 3
MAXUSERNUMCODEADJ (Max user number of code adjust):

Number of users selected in a code adjust.
LDRCODEPRIUSEIND (LDR code priority indicator):
"FALSE" denotes not considering the priority of code when code adjust; "TRUE"
denotes considering the priority of code when code adjust.
91
Parameters for LDR Inter-Frequency
Load Handover (1)
ULINTERFREQHOCELLLOADSPACETHD (UL Inter-freq
cell load handover load space threshold)
DLINTERFREQHOCELLLOADSPACETHD (DL Inter-freq

cell load handover load space threshold)
Inter-frequency load handover happens only when the current load space of the
target cell is higher than this parameter setting. This parameter value is relative to
target cell LDR threshold.
The smaller this parameter value is, the easier it is to find qualified target cell for
blind handover.
However, too low value easily makes the target cell enter congestion status. The
larger the value, the more difficult for the interfrequency blind handover to happen
and the easier to guarantee the stability of the target cell.
92
Parameters for LDR Inter-Frequency
Load Handover (2)
ULINTERFREQHOBWTHD (UL Inter-freq cell load
handover maximum bandwidth)
Value range: 0 to 400000bps
Recommended value: 200000, namely 200kbps
DLINTERFREQHOBWTHD (DL Inter-freq cell load

handover maximum bandwidth)
Value range: 0 to 400000bps
Recommended value: 200000, namely 200kbps
During interfrequency load handover, the UE is selected as the target of inter

frequency load handover from the UE set where the bandwidth is less than this
threshold.
The larger the parameter value is, the higher the service rate of the user who is
handover and the more obviously the cell load is decreased. But large value gives
rise to fluctuation and congestion
of the target cells load. The smaller the parameter value is, the smaller the
amplitude of the load decreased as a result of the interfrequency load handover
and the easier to maintain the stability
of the target cells load.
93
Parameters for LDR Other Actions
UL (DL) LDRBERATEREDUCTIONRABNUM,
UL (DL) LDRPSRTQOSRENEGRABNUM,
UL (DL) LDRCSINTERRATHOUSERNUM,
UL (DL) LDRPSINTERRATHOUSERNUM,
ULLDRAMRRATEREDUCTIONRABNUM
Default value
UL (DL) LDRBERATEREDUCTIONRABNUM: 1
UL (DL) LDRPSRTQOSRENEGRABNUM: 1
UL (DL) LDRCSINTERRATHOUSERNUM: 3
UL (DL) LDRPSINTERRATHOUSERNUM: 1
UL (DL) LDRAMRRATEREDUCTIONRABNUM: 3
This set of parameters determines the action sequence for the uplink/downlink LDR.
UL (DL) LDRBERATEREDUCTIONRABNUM: UL/DL LDR-BE rate reduction RAB
number
UL (DL) LDRPSRTQOSRENEGRABNUM: UL/DL LDR un-ctrl RT Qos re-nego
RAB number
UL (DL) LDRCSINTERRATHOUSERNUM: UL/DL LDR CS inter-rat ho user
number
UL (DL) LDRPSINTERRATHOUSERNUM: UL/DL LDR PS inter-rat ho user number
UL (DL) LDRAMRRATEREDUCTIONRABNUM: UL/DL LDR-AMR rate reduction
RAB number
The larger these parameters are, the more obviously the current cells load is
reduced. Its cost is that user feelings are affected and that it gives rise to congestion
of the target cell. The smaller these parameters are, the smaller the amplitude of
the load adjusted by LDR. Its benefit is that the QoS is guaranteed and the target
cell load is stable.

OLC (Over Load Control)
Reasons
In overload state, system is not stable
Purpose
Ensuring the system stability and making the system back to
the normal state as soon as possible
Triggering of OLC
Power resources only
After the UE access is granted, the power consumed by a single link is adjusted by
the single link power control algorithm. The power varies with the mobility of the UE
and the changes in the environment and the source rate. In some situations, the
total power load of the cell may be higher than the target load. To ensure system
stability, overload congestion must be handled. The OLC includes:
Restricting the TF (Transmission Format) of the BE service
Choosing and releasing some UEs
Only power resources could result in overload congestion. Hard resources such as
equivalent user number, Iub bandwidth, and credit resources do not cause overload
congestion.
96
OLC Procedure
97
OLC Actions - TF Control
Target user
Rank the candidate users by the integrate priority, the low
priority user will be selected
Execution
Send the control message to UE (downlink: TF control
indication, uplink: Transport format combination control) to
restricts the TFC selection
After the congestion is released, the BE service rate will be

recovered
The OLC algorithm for TF control is implemented as follows:

1. Based on the integrate priority, the OLC sorts the RABs in the descending
order. The RABs with the BE services and its bit rate is higher than DCCC rate
reduction threshold and with the lowest integrate priority are selected. The
selected RAB number is UL/DL OLC fast TF restrict RAB number.
2. The RNC sends the control message to the MAC, during the continuous time
(till congestion is released and traffic volume upsizing), MAC will restricts the
TFC selection of these BE services to reduce data rate step by step.
3. Each time, RNC will select a certain number of RABs (which is determined by
UL/DL OLC fast TF restrict RAB number ) to perform TF control, the times to
perform TF control is determined by the UL/DLOLCFTFRSTRCTTimes
parameter.
4. If the RNC cannot find a proper service for TF control, the action fails. The OLC
performs the next action.
5. If the congestion is released, the RNC sends the congestion release indication
to the MAC.
6. If the congestion is released and 4A report is received, and if rate recover timer
(which length is RateRecoverTimerLen) is started and when this timer is
expired, MAC will increase data rate step by step.
98
OLC Actions - Release of Some UEs
Target user (downlink e.g.)
Rank the candidate users by the integrate priority, the low
priority user will be selected
Execution
Releasing the service of the selected user
The OLC algorithm for release of some UEs is implemented as follows:

1. Based on the integrate priority, the OLC sorts all RABs in the descending order.
2. The top RABs selected. The number of selected UEs is equal to UL/DL OLC
traff release RAB number.
3. The selected RABs are released directly.
99
Parameters for OLC Algorithm Switch
NBMSWITCH (Cell algorithm switch)
Value Range:
ULOLC, DLOLC
Default status: OFF

OLC actions affect QoS heavily
Set OLC Algorithm Switch through ADD CELLALGOSWITCH, query it through LST
CELLALGOSWITCH, and modify it through MOD CELLALGOSWITCH.
Cell overload is an emergent status, OLC algorithm can quickly relieve

uplink/downlink load by TF restriction or user release but may also cause oscillation
of the cell load and affect the call drop rate.
For the uplink, overload means the cells uplink interference is close to or reaches
the limit and may give rise to difficulty in BTS uplink reception and decoding,
resulting in call drop;
For the downlink, overload means the downlink transmit power is close to or
reaches the limit and the users downlink inner loop power control cannot be
increased as needed because of the BTS power restriction, resulting in call drop.
100
Parameters for Triggering of Overload (1)
ULOLCTRIGTHD (UL OLC trigger threshold)
ULOLCRELTHD (UL OLC release threshold)

Set these parameters through ADD CELLLDM, query it through LST CELLLDM,
and modify it through MOD CELLLDM.
The uplink OLC trigger threshold judges whether the system uplink is in overload
status. If the cell load is consecutively higher than the threshold for pre-determined
times, it means the system is in overload status for a long time. Under this
circumstance, if the cells OLC switch is open, the system will perform OLC
algorithm, including fast TF restriction or even user release.
The smaller the OLC trigger threshold is, the easier the system will be in overload
status. Since OLC will ultimately use extreme method like user release to lower the
load, too low value will be very detrimental to the system performance.
The smaller the OLC release threshold is, the harder for the system to release the
overload. Since the consequence of overload is not as severe as expected, it is
desirable to set the two parameters a bit higher given that the difference between
OLC trigger threshold and OLC release threshold is fixed.
The uplink OLC trigger thresholds must be greater than up OLC release thresholds,
and the recommended difference between the two thresholds is larger than 10%,
otherwise maybe the basic congestion state is Ping-Pong.
101
Parameters for Triggering of Overload (2)
DLOLCTRIGTHD (DL OLC trigger threshold)
DLOLCRELTHD (DL OLC release threshold)

Set these parameters through ADD CELLLDM, query it through LST CELLLDM,
and modify it through MOD CELLLDM.
The downlink OLC trigger threshold judges whether the system downlink is in
overload status. If the cell load is consecutively higher than the threshold for pre-
determined times, it means the system is in overload status for a long time. Under
this circumstance, if the cells OLC switch is open, the system will perform OLC
algorithm, including fast TF restriction or even user release.
The smaller the OLC trigger threshold is, the easier the system will be in overload
status. Since OLC will ultimately use extreme method like user release to lower the
load, too low value will be very detrimental to the system performance.
The smaller the OLC release threshold is, the harder for the system to release the
overload. Since the consequence of overload is not as severe as expected, it is
desirable to set the two parameters a bit higher given that the difference between
OLC trigger threshold and OLC release threshold is fixed.
The downlink OLC trigger thresholds must be greater than down OLC release
102
Parameters for OLC (1)
OLCPERIODTIMERLEN (OLC period timer length)
Value range: 100 to 86400000, unit: ms
Set this parameters through SET LDCPERIOD, query it through LST LDCPERIOD.
This parameter is the period of the OLC timer. When this period is up, OLC
executes once and then restarts automatically. The period of the timer is the period
of the OLC action. The uplink OLC and downlink OLC share the same timer.
If the OLC action period is set too long, the system may respond very slowly to
overload;
If the OLC action period is set too short, unnecessary adjustment may occur before
the previous OLC action has taken effect, thus affecting the system performance.
103
ULOLCFTFRSTRCTTIMES (UL OLC fast TF restrict times)
DLOLCFTFRSTRCTTIMES (DL OLC fast TF restrict times)

Set the following parameters through ADD CELLOLC, query it through LST
CELLOLC, and modify it through MOD CELLOLC.
When uplink/downlink overload is triggered, the RNC will immediately execute OLC
action by first executing uplink/downlink fast TF restriction. The internal counter is
incremented by 1 with each execution. If the number of overloads does not exceed
the OLC action threshold, the system lowers the BE service rate by lowering TF to
try to relieve the overload. Exceeding OLC action threshold means that the previous
operation has no obvious effect on alleviating the overload and the system has to
release users to solve the overload problem.
The lower the parameter value, the more likely the users are released, resulting in
negative effect on the system performance. If the parameter value is set too high,
the overload status is released slowly.
104
ULOLCFTFRSTRCTRABNUM (UL OLC fast TF restrict
RAB number)
DLOLCFTFRSTRCTRABNUM (DL OLC fast TF restrict

RAB number)
The higher the parameter value, the more users involved in fast TF restriction under
identical conditions, the quicker the cell load decreases, and the more users QoS
affected.
105
RATERSTRCTCOEF (DL OLC fast TF restrict data rate
restrict coefficient)
OLC fast TF restriction rate coefficient means the degree of the rate restriction.
The smaller the parameter value, the more severe the rate is restricted. Too low
value may affect the BE transmission delay. Large value means loose restriction,
which may be ineffective in alleviating the overload.
106
RATERSTRCTTIMERLEN (DL OLC fast TF restrict data
rate restrict timer length)
RATERECOVERTIMERLEN (DL OLC fast TF restrict data

rate recover timer length)
RateRstrctTimerLen specifies the period for MAC to apply TF restriction on BE

users in a downlink fast TF restriction. RateRecoverTimerLen specifies the period
for MAC to apply TF recovery on BE users when the downlink overload is released.
Once the MAC layer receives instruction to perform fast TF restriction on a user, it
periodically uses rate restriction coefficient to restrict the maximum available TF of
the user until it receives overload release instruction. Therefore every period
specified by RateRstrctTimerLen, apart from the new OLC-selected users who are
TF restricted, the previously selected users are also fast-TF restricted in an effort to
release the overload more quickly.
In order to timely adjust the BE service rate according to the load, the value of
RateRstrctTimerLen shall be slightly larger than the system load response time
after rate adjustment and the period of overload detection.
The larger RateRstrctTimerLen value is, the slower the BE service rate decreases.
The smaller RateRstrctTimerLen value is, the harder to receive the overload
release instruction.
Large RateRecoverTimerLen value leads to slow BE service recovery rate but can
prevent overload from triggering again in short time. Small RateRecoverTimerLen
value leads to quick BE service recovery rate but gives rise to yet more overloads.
107
ULOLCTRAFFRELRABNUM (UL OLC traff release RAB
number)
Default value: 0
DLOLCTRAFFRELRABNUM (DL OLC traff release RAB

number)
Default value: 0
The higher the parameter value, the more obvious the cell load decreases at the
cost of negatively affecting user feelings.
