Intelligent Admission Control
Intelligent Congestion Control

Load Control exists in all phases
Load Control is used to keep system stable, maximize system capacity while
ensuring the coverage and QoS.
Different load control algorithms according to different phases provided:

- Before UE access: Potential User Control (PUC)
- During UE access: Call Admission Check (CAC) and Intelligent Access Control (IAC)
- After UE access: Load Reshuffling (LDR), and Overload Control (OLC)
PUC • CAC • LDR

• IAC • OLC

Overload congestion occurs

OLC starts: to reduce the cell load
CAC: to prevent new calls into cells with heavy load

Basic congestion occurs

Load control is
unneeded PUC starts: to enable UEs in idle mode to camp on cells with light load
LDR starts: to check and release basic congestion in cells

Service Differentiation Enhancement
 THP consideration
■ For interactive services, differentiate the priority through THP in the case of same ARP.
■ Applied to determine the integrate priority
The values of RAB Integrate Priority are set according to the Integrate Priority Configured Reference parameter as follows:
• 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
- Only for the interactive service of the same ARP: priority based on THP
- Services of the same ARP, class and THP (only for interactive service ): HSDPA or DCH service preferred
on the basis of the value of the Indicator of Carrier Type Priority parameter

HSDPA Channel Mapping
 Interactive, Background and Streaming service could be mapped onto HS-DSCH.
 The bit rate thresholds are used.

RABs with maximum bit rate higher than or equal to the threshold will be mapped
onto HS-DSCH.
The bit rate thresholds (DL streaming threshold on HSDPA , DL BE traffic threshold
on HSDPA) are OM configurable.
 One switch (PS_STREAMING_ON_HSDPA_SWITCH) is available for operator to

disable the mapping of streaming service onto HS-DSCH.

 Maximum power limitation is available for R99 and HSPDA
respectively.

Ri _ max (t )
X time segment: GBR service: Pr iority  (traditional PF algorithm)
ri (t )
Y time segment: GBR services not meeting the GBR requirements Pr iority  SPI
Larger SPI indicates higher priority.
GBR services with the same SPI can use the RR, MAXC/I, or PF algorithm.

Note*:  SPI priority proportion coefficient that corresponds to SPI value
1. In X time segment, cell throughput is enhanced, which requires a larger segment size.
When some GBR services cannot meet the GBR requirements, you must reduce the size
of X time segment to enlarge Y segment, thus ensuring GBR services.
2. The sizes of the X, Y, and Z time segments can be dynamically changed to increase cell
throughput with guaranteed GBR.

Power Resource Limiting Ratio in Scheduling
Purpose
To settle the issue: The throughput of non GBR services is quite low due to power resources over-
occupied by GBR services when the channel conditions are bad, and the power resource efficiency
becomes lower.
Example
1. There are three users accessing the HSDPA BE service and two users accessing the HSDPA
streaming service at 90 kbps. The CQIs of the five users are 18, 15, 6, 12, and 10.
2. During congestion, each HSDPA user uses 12% power at most.
In this situation, the data rate of the third user can be increased from 20 kbps to (40 to 50)
kbps at most. Otherwise, the impact on the cell throughput and the experience of the other
users in the cell will be large.

HSDPA Flow Control Overview
Why ?
 Balance the data flow between Iub and Uu
 Achieve high bandwidth utilization efficiency, maximize the cell
throughput
 Decrease data transmission delay, avoid data discard and
retransmission due to congestion
Functions
 Response to a HS-DSCH Capacity Request, to indicate the number of
MAC-d PDUs that the RNC is allowed to transmit for each CmCH-PI of
each UE in the specified interval.
 Modify the capacity and control the user data flow according to the MAC-
hs queue buffer size.
Uu Node B Iub RNC

CN

HSDPA Flow Control Procedure over Iub
Queue based flow control Iub utilization based flow control

- Avoid overflow in queue buffer - Allocate capacity considering available Iub
- Quick data transmission over Iub bandwidth
- Avoid data loss over Iub

MAC_hs Flow Control – Step1: Available Iub Bandwidth for HSDPA
In RAN5.1, available Iub bandwidth for HSDPA is calculated in NodeB :

BW_H =Min { (BW_Total - BW R99), BW_H_AAL2Path }
BWR99 is the R99 Radio Bearer admitted transmission bandwidth – CAC Iub bandwidth.
Scenario 2:
BW R99 service throughput >
R99 CAC admitted BW
Total AAL2 BW T
BWHSDPA
RL SET/RL RECONFIG
Scenario 1:
BWR99
R99 service throughput <
R99 CAC admitted BW
time
Scenario 1 (larger R99 AF): Waste Iub bandwidth

Scenario 2 (Samll R99 AF): Overbook bandwidth, Iub will be congest

MAC_hs Flow Control – Step 2 Allocate the H Iub bandwidth
among HSDPA users
1. HSDPA scheduler calculates each user’s air throughput and air capacity*
2. Based on each user’s air throughput, MAC_hs buffer occupation, RLC buffer
occupation, MAC_hs calculates each user’s requirement for Iub bandwidth
3. Allocate the Iub bandwidth to each HSDPA user

If Iub is limited, bandwidth for each user will scale down with same ratio after each user’s GBR is
guaranteed.

Available Iub Bandwidth for HSDPA
Available Iub bandwidth for HSDPA at Iub interface level:
{ T -  BWR 99i）
BW_Avlb HSDPA  Min（ , ( H _ RT _ PATH HSDPA  H _ NRT _ PATH HSDPA )}

BWR99i is the R99 Radio Bearer admitted transmission bandwidth.

Scenario 1:

Scenario 2: Overbook bandwidth.
To avoid Iub congestion, HSDPA flow maps to lower priority PATH, and overbook function be enabled to
avoid congestion.

Adaptive Adjustment of Available Iub bandwidth for HSDPA
Detect Iub congestion state based on packet transmission delay ( FrameDiscard

RateThreshold ) and packet loss (DlTrDelayJitterThldBase).
» None congestion: Increase HSDPA available BW.
» Congestion: Decrease HSDPA available BW.
