Managing Control Plane Traffic and Signalling Load (RAN Capacity) PDF
The PS call attempts and state transitions as well as dedicated NBAP measurements are heavily increased in
smart phone intensive network. It is possible to make a model of the ICSU load to know what is events are
loading the ICSUs the most.
Control plane events frequency can be calculated from counters in the attached table.

- Weight calculations
- • i – signalling event
- Additionally (due to debugging process) in case ICSU CPU load is < 50%, then 8.5% of
relative load should be added to the calculated ICSU load.
The load of the ICSU is not exactly linearly increasing with the number of events as there is RRC debugging
done when the ICSU load is less than 40% and it will be turned off when load exceed 50%. Due to this
debugging process 8.5% of relative load should be added to the calculated ICSU load in case ICSU CPU load is
< 50%. The model does not take into account the load caused by Megamon. So in case this is used, the
estimated CPU load might not match well with the measured CPU load

carried out on time)
