Version
Problem 1. Country L Project W has launched commercially, after activation of Dynamic CE
Descripti Feature the customer complained from an Increase in UL CE Congestion and
on required a solution.

Alarm None
Informati
on
Handling 1- Identify Top Sites.
Process 2- Check Main KPI’s and monitor User trend per service to check if increase in UL CE congestion
was due to an event or increase in user no.
3- Noticed increase in HSUPA 2ms users and decrease in HSUPA 10ms users.
4- Identify reason of increase in HSUPA 2ms users after activation of the Dynamic CE Feature.
5- Find an acceptable solution by customer and implement solution and seek feedback from
customer.

Root
Cause
Switching of HSUPA 10ms users to HSUPA 2ms users caused the increase in the UL CE Congestion as
HSUPA 2ms users consume more UL CE’s than HSUPA 10ms users.

 RNO Case UL CE Congestion due to activating dynamic CE Feature Security Level:

Solution
Below is trend of UL CE Congestion Vs HSUPA users:

1- (1) After Activating Dynamic CE Adjustment Feature the UL CE Congestion increased with
the increase of the HSUPA 2ms Users.
2- (2) After activating initial TTI selection mechanism for differentiated BE services based on
fairness to decrease HSUPA 2ms users.

Reason for Increase in HSUPA 2ms Users after activating Dynamic CE feature:

Before activating dynamic CE, RNC user HSUPA DCCC algorithm. For HSUPA DCCC
algorithm, RNC uses HSUPA initial rate of HSUPA to decide to establish HSUPA 2ms or not. The
HSUPA initial rate is configured as 16K can be checked from below parameter:

After activating dynamic CE, RNC uses UL MBR that assigned by CN to decide to establish HSUPA
2ms or not. Based on PCHR logs, the UL MBR of most users are 8.64M.

 RNO Case UL CE Congestion due to activating dynamic CE Feature Security Level:

And the threshold for establishing HSUPA 2ms is configured as 1.28M. So before activating dynamic
CE, because 16K was lower than 1.28M, so users couldn’t establish HSUPA 2ms when RAB
established. after activating dynamic CE, users could establish HSUPA 2ms since UL DCCC is no
longer in action after activating Dynamic CE Feature.

Solution:
activating initial TTI selection mechanism for differentiated BE services based on fairness to decrease
HSUPA 2ms users.

Result

At point 2: after activating solution, the KPI Recovered.

Suggestio
n and Correct Analysis of reason that led to increase in UL CE Congestion is required to provide
Summary proper and effective solution to customer.
