RNC – RAS06

RNC Dimensioning in RAS06

•In the mixed traffic the sum of relative loads of the four traffic types (AMR, CS, HSPA & other PS) over
the Iu-interface has to be less than or equal to 1.
•Relative load means dividing the offered traffic by the max allowed traffic value:

AMR (Erl) PS data (Mbps) CS data (Mbps)

  1
max AMR (Erl) max Iub throughput (Mbps) max Iub throughput (Mbps)

As the mobile continues then the second link
is dropped, and a second cell is added from
another RNC. A soft handover is possible as
the Iur interface exists.

The RNC is known as the serving

(S-RNC) and the new RNC is the drift
(D-RNC). Note that the Iu connection is
still from the S-RNC.
Management of the radio bearer
As the mobile continues, the third connection
is dropped. The S-RNC has no active
connection's itself, so the Iu-RRC connection is
moved to the D-RNC.

Finally, the mobile is now in area where the forth
connection is dropped and the new site selected is
under another RNC. The S-RNC does not have an Iur
interface to the target RNC, so the core network is
used to assist in the handover.
