3 CAC Based on Power Resource

6.3.1 Overview

Power-based admission decision involves admission decision for RRC connection setup request
as well as RAB admission decision based on algorithms 1, 2, or 3.

The algorithm switches are set by the NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch or

NBMDlCacAlgoSelSwitch.

To enable the power-based admission control for HSDPA/HSUPA, the HSDPA_UU_ADCTRL

or HSUPA_UU_ADCTRL subparameter must also be set to 1.

 Algorithm 1 (ALGORITHM_FIRST): admission decision based on predicted load increment

upon admission of a new service

Based on the current cell load (indicated by the uplink load factor and downlink TCP) and the
predicted load increment due to admission of the new service, the RNC determines whether the
cell load will exceed the threshold upon admitting the new service. If yes, the RNC rejects the
access request. If not, the RNC accepts the access request.

 Algorithm 2 (ALGORITHM_SECOND): admission decision based on the ENU

Depending on the current ENU and the access request, the RNC determines whether the ENU
will exceed the threshold upon admitting a new service. If yes, the RNC rejects the request. If
not, the RNC accepts the request.

 Algorithm 3 (ALGORITHM_THIRD): admission decision based on no load increment upon

admission of a new service

This algorithm assumes that load increment upon admission of a new service is 0. Based on the
current cell load (indicated by the uplink load factor and downlink TCP), the RNC determines
whether the cell load will exceed the threshold upon admitting the new service. If yes, the RNC
rejects the access request. If not, the RNC accepts the access request.

When NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch is set to ALGORITHM_OFF and the uplink OLC function

switch (UL_UU_OLC) is enabled, the following cases occur if the cell is in the OLC state
triggered by the RTWP:

 If the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch (RsvdBit1) is enabled, the system
checks whether the uplink equivalent user load proportion of the cell is lower than 40%. If it is
lower than 40%, the access request is accepted. Otherwise, the original procedure remains
unchanged.

 If the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch is disabled, the RNC rejects the access
request.

The following figure shows the basic procedure of power-based admission decision.

Figure 6-2 Basic procedure of power-based admission decision

The basic principles of power-based admission decision are as follows:

 Four basic load thresholds are used for power-based admission decision. They are:

− UL/DL access threshold for handover (UlNonCtrlThdForHo or DlHOThd)

− UL/DL threshold of conversational AMR service (UlNonCtrlThdForAMR or

DlConvAMRThd)

− UL/DL threshold of conversational non-AMR service (UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR or

DlConvNonAMRThd)

− UL/DL threshold of other services (UlNonCtrlThdForOther or DlOtherThd)

With these thresholds, the RNC defines the proportion of speech service to other services while
ensuring handover preference.

 Admission control involves uplink admission control and downlink admission control. The
corresponding admission control switches NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch and
NBMDlCacAlgoSelSwitch are independent of each other.

 For an intra-frequency handover request, only downlink admission decision is needed.

 For a non-intra-frequency handover request, both uplink and downlink decisions are needed if
both uplink CAC and downlink CAC are enabled.

 If there is a rate downsizing request, the RNC accepts it directly.

For a rate upsizing request, the RNC makes the decision, as shown in 0.

 For a rejected RRC connection setup request, the RNC performs DRD or redirection.

For a rejected service request, the RNC performs preemption or queuing according to the actual
situation.

6.3.2 Admission Decision for RRC Connection Setup Request

To ensure that the RRC connection setup request is not denied by mistake, tolerance principles
are applied.

The admission decision for RRC connection setup request is as follows:

 When power-based admission is based on power or interference (algorithm 1 and algorithm 3):

− For the RRC connection setup request for the reason of emergency call, detach or registration,
direct admission is used.

− For the RRC connection setup request for other reasons, the UL or DL OLC trigger threshold
(UlOlcTrigThd or DlOlcTrigThd) is used for admission.

For details about UL and DL OLC trigger thresholds, see Error! Reference source not
found."Error! Reference source not found.."

 When power-based admission is based on the ENU (algorithm 2):

− For the RRC connection setup request for the reason of emergency call, detach or registration,
direct admission is used.

− For the RRC connection setup request for other reasons, the admission decision is made as
follows:
a. When UL_UU_OLC or DL_UU_OLC is set to 1, RRC connection setup request is rejected
when the cell is in the overload congestion state. If the cell is not in the overload state, the UL or
DL OLC trigger threshold is used for power-based admission.

b. When UL_UU_OLC or DL_UU_OLC is set to 0, the UL or DL OLC trigger threshold is

used for power-based admission.

6.3.3 Power-Based Admission Algorithm 1

Power-based admission decision based on algorithm 1 consists of uplink power–based

admission decision and downlink power-based admission decision procedures.

Uplink Power–Based Admission Decision for R99 Cells Based on Algorithm 1

The following figure shows the procedure of uplink power–based admission decision for R99
cells.

Figure 6-3 Uplink power–based admission decision for R99 cells

The procedure of uplink power–based admission decision for R99 cells is as follows:

1. The RNC obtains the uplink RTWP of the cell and uses the formula
to calculate the current uplink load factor ηUL, where PN is the received uplink background
noise.

2. The RNC calculates the uplink load increment ΔηUL based on the service request.

3. The RNC uses the following formula to predict the uplink load factor:

ηUL,predicted = ηUL + ΔηUL + ηULcch

In the formula, ηULcch is specified by UlCCHLoadFactor.

The uplink load increment ΔηUL is determined by the following factors:

 Eb/N0 of the new incoming call, which has a positive correlation with the uplink load
increment

 UL neighbor interference factor, which has a positive correlation with the uplink load
increment

 Active Factor (AF) of the new incoming call, which has a positive correlation with the uplink
load increment, and varies with the traffic class, user priority level, and carrier type (DCH or
HSPA)

4. By comparing the predicted uplink load factor ηUL,predicted with the corresponding threshold
(UlNonCtrlThdForHo, UlNonCtrlThdForAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, or
UlNonCtrlThdForOther), the RNC decides whether to accept the access request. If the access
request is accepted, the RNC processes the access request. If the access request is rejected, the
RNC performs the next step.

5. The RNC checks whether the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch (RsvdBit1) is
enabled. If it is enabled, the RNC checks whether the uplink equivalent user load proportion of
the cell is lower than 40%. If it is lower than 40%, the RNC accepts the access request.
Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request.

Uplink Power–Based Admission Decision for HSPA Cells Based on Algorithm 1

The power increment of an HSUPA service is related to the following factors:

 Ec/N0 of the GBR of the service

 Neighboring interference factor

 AF of the service
The formula is similar to that for R99. After the RSEPS measurement is introduced, the UL
RTWP is divided into two parts: controllable part and uncontrollable part. The controllable part
is generated by the E-DCH scheduling service, and others belong to the uncontrollable part. The
following figure shows the uncontrollable part of the UL RTWP.

Figure 6-4 Uncontrollable part of the UL RTWP

The E-DCH scheduling service involves the following types of UEs:

 Type A: UEs of this type are in the serving E-DCH cell.

 Type B: UEs of this type are not in the serving E-DCH cell.

The methods of calculating the uplink load vary according to user type.

 For type A, the uplink load generated by the E-DCH scheduling service is calculated as
follows:

 For type B, the uplink load generated by the E-DCH scheduling service is calculated through
, which is set to 0.

The uplink uncontrollable load is calculated as follows:

The measure taken by CAC is determined by the actual bearer type and whether the scheduling
mode is used.

Admission of HSUPA Scheduling Services and HSUPA Non-Scheduling Services

Since the HSUPA scheduling algorithm consumes additional uplink power resources, the power
load of the HSUPA cell is always relatively high. Therefore, the CAC algorithm combines the
PBR-based decision with the load-based decision to reduce the number of potential erroneous
rejections.

PBR-based decision is used to check whether the QoS requirement of existing users is fulfilled.
The QoS is measured on the basis of the Provided Bit Rate (PBR) of the users. If the QoS
requirement is fulfilled, new users are allowed to access the network.

As shown in the previous figure, the Scheduling Priority Indicator (SPI) of a new HSUPA user is
SPINew user.

When the admission of HSUPA scheduling services is implemented, the following formulas
apply:

1.

2.

3.

4.
5.

Here:

− ThdL is the low priority HSUPA user PBR threshold (HsupaLowPriorityUserPBRThd).

− ThdE is the equal priority HSUPA user PBR threshold (HsupaEqualPriorityUserPBRThd).

− ThdGE is the high priority HSUPA user PBR threshold (HsupaHighPriorityUserPBRThd).

− ηHS-DPCCH is the UlHsDpcchRsvdFactor parameter.

− ηthd is the cell UL admission threshold of a specific type of service. The threshold may be
UlNonCtrlThdForAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or
UlNonCtrlThdForHo.

The RNC admits the HSUPA scheduling services in either of the following cases:

− Formula 1, 2, or 3 is fulfilled.

− Formula 4 is fulfilled.

For HSUPA non-scheduling services, the RNC admits the HSUPA non-scheduling services in
either of the following cases:

− Formula 1, 2, or 3 is fulfilled.

− Formulas 4 and 5 are fulfilled.

If the HSUPA scheduling services or non-scheduling services are rejected according to the
previous conditions, the RNC checks whether the Control RTWP Anti-interference function
switch (RsvdBit1) is enabled. If it is enabled, the RNC checks whether the uplink equivalent
user load proportion of the cell is lower than 40%. If it is lower than 40%, the RNC accepts the
access request. Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request.

 The IMS signaling service over HSUPA can be directly admitted.

 For the first HSUPA service accessing the cell, the decision formulas that involve PBR are
regarded as unsatisfied.

 If the PBR measurement is deactivated, the decision formulas that involve PBR are regarded as
unsatisfied.
 If the RSEPS measurement is deactivated, the admission algorithm automatically changes into
algorithm 2.

For details about the scheduling mode of services on HSUPA, see the Radio Bearer Parameter
Description.

Admission of DCH Services

Uncontrollable interference must be kept within a certain range. The purpose is to ensure the
stability of the system and to prevent non-scheduling services and DCH services from seizing the
resources of HSUPA services. In this regard, the CAC algorithm combines the uncontrollable
part–based decision and the total load–based decision.

When the admission of DCH services is implemented, the following formulas apply:

Here:

− is the UL total power threshold of the current cell (UlCellTotalThd).

− is the cell UL admission threshold for a specific type of service. The threshold may be
UlNonCtrlThdForAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or
UlNonCtrlThdForHo.

If formulas 1 and 2 are fulfilled, the RNC admits DCH services. If they are not fulfilled, the
RNC checks whether the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch (RsvdBit1) is
enabled. If it is enabled, the RNC checks whether the uplink equivalent user load proportion of
the cell is lower than 40%. If it is lower than 40%, the RNC accepts the access request.
Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request.

Downlink Power–Based Admission Decision for R99 Cells Based on Algorithm 1

The following figure shows the procedure of downlink power–based admission decision.

Figure 6-5 Downlink power–based admission decision procedure

The procedure of downlink power–based admission decision is as follows:

1. The RNC obtains the cell downlink TCP and calculates the downlink load factor ηDL by
dividing the maximum downlink transmit power Pmax by this TCP.

2. The RNC calculates the downlink load increment ΔηDL based on the service request and
the current load.

3. The RNC uses the following formula to predict the downlink load factor:

ηDL,predicted = ηDL + ΔηDL + ηDLcch

In the formula, ηDLcch is the percentage of reserved DL common channel load

(DlCCHLoadRsrvCoeff).

4. By comparing the downlink load factor ηDL,predicted with the corresponding threshold
(DlConvAMRThd, DlConvNonAMRThd, DlOtherThd, and DlHOThd), the RNC decides
whether to accept the access request.

The downlink load increment ΔηDL is determined by the following factors:

 Eb/N0 of the incoming new call, which has a positive correlation with the downlink load
increment

 Non-orthogonal factor, which has a positive correlation with the downlink load increment

 Current TCP, which has a negative correlation with the downlink load increment

 Active Factor (AF) of the incoming new call, which has a positive correlation with the
downlink load increment

Downlink Power–Based Admission Decision for HSPA Cells Based on Algorithm 1

 Power Increment Estimation for DCH RAB

The power increment estimation for the DCH RAB in the HSPA cell is similar to the DCH RAB
in the R99 cell.

 Power Increment Estimation for HSDPA RAB

The power increment estimation for HSDPA RAB ΔPDL is made on the basis of GBR, Ec/N0,
non-orthogonal factor, and so on.

 Downlink Radio Admission Decision for DCH RAB

When the admission of the DCH RAB is implemented, the following formulas apply:

1.

2.

3.

Here:

− is the current non-HSPA power.

− is the power reserved for the common channel.

− is the maximum transmit power of the cell.

− is the cell DL admission threshold for a specific type of service. The

threshold may be DlConvAMRThd, DlConvNonAMRThd, DlOtherThd, and DlHOThd.
− is the current downlink TCP.

− is the threshold of the total DL power of the cell (DlCellTotalThd).

− is the minimum power required to ensure the GBR.

− is the power reserved for HSUPA downlink control channels (E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-

HICH).

− is the maximum available power for HSPA. Its value is associated with the HSDPA
power allocation mode. For details, see the HSDPA Parameter Description.

The RNC admits the DCH RAB in either of the following situations:

− Formulas 1 and 2 are fulfilled.

− Formulas 1 and 3 are fulfilled.

If the GBP measurement is deactivated, the GBP involved in the decision formulas is set to 0.

 Downlink Radio Admission Decision for HSDPA RAB

When the admission of the HSDPA RAB is implemented, the following formulas apply:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Here:

− is the provided bit rate of all existing streaming services.

− is the admission threshold for streaming PBR decision (HsdpaStrmPBRThd).

− is the provided bit rate of all existing BE services.

− is the admission threshold for BE PBR decision (HsdpaBePBRThd).

− is the minimum power required to ensure the GBR.

− is the power reserved for HSUPA downlink control channels (E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-

HICH).

− is the maximum available power for HSPA. Its value is associated with the HSDPA
power allocation mode. For details, see the HSDPA Parameter Description.

− is the current downlink TCP.

− is the maximum transmit power of the cell.

− is the threshold of total DL power of the cell, which is specified by the

DlCellTotalThd parameter.

− is the power reserved for the common channel.

− is the current non-HSPA power.

The RNC admits the HSDPA streaming RAB in any of the following situations:

− Formula 1 is fulfilled.

− Formulas 3 and 4 are fulfilled.

− Formulas 3 and 5 are fulfilled.

The RNC admits the HSDPA BE RAB in any of the following situations:

− Formula 2 is fulfilled.

− Formulas 3 and 4 are fulfilled.

− Formulas 3 and 5 are fulfilled.

 If PS conversational services are carried on HSPA, the services can be treated as streaming
services during admission control.

 If the GBP measurement is deactivated, the GBP involved in the decision formulas is set to 0.

 If the PBR measurement is deactivated, the decision formulas that involve PBR are regarded as
dissatisfied.

 For the first HSDPA service accessing the cell, the decision formulas that involve PBR are
regarded as unsatisfied.

 Downlink Radio Admission Decision for HSUPA Control Channels

The power of downlink control channels (E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-HICH) is determined by

DlHSUPARsvdFactor. Therefore, the power-based admission for these channels is not needed.

 Downlink Power–Based Admission Decision for MBMS

For details, see the MBMS Parameter Description.

6.3.4 Power-Based Admission Algorithm 2

When the uplink CAC function or the downlink CAC function uses algorithm 2, the admission of
uplink/downlink power resources uses the algorithm depending on the ENU.

Equivalent Number of Users

The 12.2 kbit/s AMR traffic is defined as one ENU, which stands for Equivalent Number of
Users. Thus, the 12.2 kbit/s AMR traffic can be used to calculate the ENU of all other services.
The calculation is related to the following factors:

 Cell type, such as urban or suburban

 Traffic domain, CS or PS

 Coding type, turbo code or 1/2 1/3 convolutional code

 Traffic QoS, that is, Block Error Rate (BLER)

The following table describes the typical ENU of some services.

Table 6-1 Typical ENU (with activity factor to be 100%)

Service ENU

In the previous table, for a 3.4+n kbit/s service of HSDPA or HSUPA,

 3.4 kbit/s is the rate of the signaling carried on the DCH.

 n kbit/s is the GBR of the service.

Procedure of ENU Resource Decision for Uplink/Downlink

The procedure of ENU resource decision for uplink/downlink is as follows:

1. The RNC obtains the total ENU of all existing users ENUtotal = ∑all_exist_userENUi.

2. The RNC gets the ENU of the new incoming user ENUnew.

3. The RNC uses the formula (ENUtotal + ENUnew)/ENUmax to forecast the ENU load, where
ENUmax is the configured maximum ENU (UlTotalEqUserNum or DlTotalEqUserNum).

4. By comparing the forecasted ENU load with the corresponding threshold, the RNC decides
whether to accept the access request. The threshold may be one of the following thresholds:

− UL/DL threshold of conversational AMR service

− UL/DL threshold of conversational non-AMR service

− UL/DL threshold of other services

− UL/DL access threshold for handover

The admission thresholds for different types of service are different. The following table lists the
parameters used to set admission thresholds for different types of service:

Service Type Admission Threshold

UL UL threshold of conversational AMR service (UlNonCtrlThdForAMR)
DCH/HSUPA
UL threshold of conversational non-AMR service
(UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR)

UL threshold of other services (UlNonCtrlThdForOther)

UL access threshold for handover (UlNonCtrlThdForHo)

DL DCH DL threshold of conversational AMR service (DlConvAMRThd)

DL threshold of conversational non-AMR service (DlConvNonAMRThd)

DL threshold of other services (DlOtherThd)

DL access threshold for handover (DlHOThd)

HSDPA DL total power threshold (DlCellTotalThd)

For example, the admission of a new AMR service in the uplink based on algorithm 2 will be
successful if the following condition is fulfilled:

(ENUtotal + ENUnew)/ENUmax ≤ UlNonCtrlThdForAMR

 Before the admission of the uplink ENU resource, if the uplink OLC algorithm switch
(UL_UU_OLC) is enabled, and the cell is in the OLC state triggered by the RTWP.

-If the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch (RsvdBit1) is enabled, the system
checks whether the uplink equivalent user load proportion of the cell is lower than 40%. If it is
lower than 40%, the RNC accepts the access request. Otherwise, the RNC performs an admission
decision on the uplink ENU resource.
-If the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch is disabled, the RNC rejects the access
request.

 If the cell is in the overload congestion state in the uplink, the RNC rejects any new RAB.

 The ENU of MBMS downlink control channels (MICH and MCCH) is reserved. Therefore,
the power-based admission for these channels is not needed.

 The ENU of HSUPA downlink control channels (E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and E-HICH) is
reserved by DlHSUPARsvdFactor. Therefore, the power-based admission for these channels is
not required.

6.3.5 Power-Based Admission Algorithm 3

Algorithm 3 is similar to algorithm 1. The difference is that the estimated load increment in
algorithm 3 is always set to 0.

In accordance with the current cell load (uplink load factor and downlink TCP), the RNC
determines whether the cell load will exceed the threshold, with the estimated load increment set
to 0. If yes, the RNC rejects the request. If not, the RNC accepts the request.

6.4 CAC Based on NodeB Credit Resource

When a new service accesses the network, NodeB credit resource–based admission is optional.

6.4.1 NodeB Credit

CE is used to measure the channel demodulation capability of the NodeBs. On the RNC side, it
is referred to the NodeB credit. On the NodeB side, it is the channel element.

The resource of one equivalent 12.2 kbit/s AMR voice service, including 3.4 kbit/s signaling on
the Dedicated Control Channel (DCCH), is defined as one CE. If there is only 3.4 kbit/s
signaling on the DCCH, one CE is consumed. Channel elements provide either uplink or
downlink capacity for services. There are two kinds of CE. One is uplink CE supporting uplink
services, and the other is downlink CE supporting downlink services. Therefore, one 12.2 kbit/s
AMR voice service consumes one uplink CE and one downlink CE.

The principles of NodeB credit–admission control are similar to those of power-based

admission control, that is, to check in the local cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB whether
the remaining credit can support the requesting services.

For details about local cell, local cell group, and capacity consumption law, refer to the 3GPP TS
25.433.
According to the capacity consumption laws of common and dedicated channels, the Controlling
RNC (CRNC) debits the amount of the credit resource consumed from or credits the amount to
the Capacity Credit (CC) of the local cell (or local cell group, if any) based on the SF. The
specific scenarios are the addition, removal, and reconfiguration of the common and dedicated
channels.

 If the UL CC and the DL CC are separate, they are maintained separately in the local cell or
local cell group.

 If the UL CC and DL CC are not separate, only the global CC is maintained in the local cell or
local cell group.

The consumption laws of CEs and the relation between CE and credit are listed in 0 and 0.

For the DCH service, the RNC uses the MBR to calculate the SF and searches 0 for the number
of consumed CEs.

For the HSUPA service, if the NodeB reports through its private interface that the dynamic CE
function of the cell is enabled, the RNC uses the GBR to calculate the spreading factor. If the
NodeB reports that the dynamic CE function is disabled, the RNC uses the MBR to calculate the
spreading factor. If the NodeB does not report whether the dynamic CE function is enabled, the
RNC determines whether to use the GBR or MBR to calculate the spreading factor, based on the
value of HsupaCeConsumeSelection. Then, the RNC searches 0 for the number of consumed
CEs.

 As listed in 0 and 0, for each data rate and service, the number of UL credits is equal to the
number of UL CEs multiplied by 2. This is because the RESOURCE STATUS INDICATION
message over the Iub interface supports only integers. For example, a UL 32 kbit/s PS service
consumes 1.5 CEs. Then, the number of corresponding UL credits consumed is 3, an integer,
which can be carried in the RESOURCE STATUS INDICATION message.

 There is no capacity consumption law for HS-DSCH in 3GPP TS 25.433, so certain credits are
reserved for HSDPA RAB, and credit admission for HSDPA is not needed.
6.4.2 Procedure of Admission Decision Based on NodeB Credit

When a new service tries to access the network, the admission decision based on NodeB credit is
implemented as follows:

 For an RRC connection setup request, the credit resource–based admission is successful if the
current remaining credit resources of the local cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB are
sufficient for RRC connection setup.

 For a handover service, the credit resource–based admission is successful if the current
remaining credit resources of the local cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB are sufficient for
the service.

 For other services, the RNC has to ensure that the remaining credit of the local cell, local cell
group (if any), and NodeB does not exceed the value of UlHoCeResvSf (for the uplink) or
DlHoCeCodeResvSf (for the downlink) after admission of the new services.
The CE capabilities at the levels of local cell, local cell group, and NodeB are reported to the
RNC through the NBAP_AUDIT_RSP message over the Iub interface.

- The CE capability of local cell level indicates the maximum capability in terms of hardware
that can be used in the local cell.

- The CE capability of local cell group level indicates the capability obtained after the license
and hardware are taken into consideration.

- The CE capability of NodeB level indicates the number of CEs allowed to use as specified in
the license.

 If the UL CC and DL CC are separate, the credit resource–based admission is implemented in

the UL and DL, respectively.

 If the UL CC and DL CC are not separate, the credit resource–based admission is implemented
based on the total CC.

6.5 CAC Based on Iub Resource

When a new service accesses the network, Iub resource–admission is mandatory.

For details about resource-based admission at the Iub transport layer, see the Transmission
Resource Management Parameter Description.

6.6 CAC Based on the Number of HSPA Users

6.6.1 CAC of HSDPA Users

When HSDPA_UU_ADCTRL is set to 1, the HSDPA services have to undergo admission

decision based on the number of HSDPA users.

When a new HSDPA service attempts to access the network, the algorithm admits the service if
the following conditions are met:

The number of HSDPA users in the cell does not exceed the maximum value specified by
MaxHsdpaUserNum.

The number of HSDPA users in the NodeB does not exceed the maximum value specified by
NodeBHsdpaMaxUserNum.

Otherwise, the algorithm rejects the service request.

6.6.2 CAC of HSUPA Users

When HSUPA_UU_ADCTRL is set to 1, the HSUPA services have to undergo admission

decision based on the number of HSUPA users.

When a new HSUPA service attempts to access the network, the algorithm admits the service if
the following conditions are met:

The number of the HSUPA users in the cell does not exceed the maximum value specified by
MaxHsupaUserNum.

 The number of the HSUPA users in the NodeB does not exceed the maximum value specified
by NodeBHsupaMaxUserNum.

Otherwise, the algorithm rejects the service request.
