3 Load Measurement
This chapter describes the WRFD-020102 Load Measurement Feature.
The load control functions, such as OLC and CAC, use load measurement values in the uplink and the
downlink. A common Load Measurement (LDM) function is used to control load measurement in the
uplink and the downlink separately.
Load measurement is implemented by the NodeB. The filtering of measurement quantities is
implemented by the NodeB and the RNC.
When

The NodeB measures the major quantities related to load control. After layer 1 and layer 3 filtering, the
measurement values are reported to the RNC through the COMMON MEASUREMENT REPORT
message.
The RNC performs smooth filtering of the measurement values reported from the NodeB and then
obtains the measurement values, which further serve as data input for the load control algorithms.
The measurement procedure is shown in Figure 3-1.

GBP measurements have the same smooth window length in all related functions. The filter length for GBP measurement
is specified by the HsdpaNeedPwrFilterLen parameter.
The length of the PBR smooth filter window is specified by the HsdpaPrvidBitRateFilterLen /
HsupaPrvidBitRateFilterLen parameter.
If the temperature in the equipment room is constant, the background noise changes slightly. In this
case, the background noise requires no adjustment after initial correction.
If the temperature in the equipment room varies with the ambient temperature, the background noise
changes greatly. In this case, the background noise requires auto-adaptive upgrade.
The following figure shows the flow chart of auto-adaptive background noise update, which is enabled by
the BGNSwitch parameter.
BGNSwitch is set to ON by default.

The Alpha filter formula is: Fn = (1 - ) x Fn-1 + x Mn (n1). For details about this formula, see section 3.3.1 "Layer 3
Filtering on the NodeB Side."
Counting threshold = (Duration of background noise)/(RTWP reporting period). The duration of background noise is
used in auto-adaptive upgrade decision and is set by the BGNAdjustTimeLen parameter. For the setting of RTWP
reporting period, see section 3.2 "Reporting Period."
the current ENU is greater than this threshold value, the RNC infers that Mn includes other noises in
addition to the background noise, and therefore it does not feed Mn to the filter. In addition, the RNC
sets the counter to zero, retains the current background noise, sets the initial value of the filter to the
current background noise, and waits for the next RTWP measurement value.
If
the current ENU in the cell is smaller than or equal to the threshold value, the RNC feeds Mn to the
filter and performs the next step.
5. The RNC checks whether |Mn - Fn-1| is smaller than the value of BgnAbnormalThd. If it is smaller
than this threshold value, the RNC increments the counter by one, calculates F n according to the
Alpha filter formula, and performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC waits for the next RTWP
measurement value.
6. The RNC checks whether the counter reaches the counting threshold. If it reaches the counting
threshold, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC waits for the next RTWP
measurement value.
7. The RNC checks whether |Fn - BackgroundNoise| is smaller than the value of BgnAbnormalThd.
The purpose is to prevent burst interference and RTWP spike. If it is smaller than the value of
BgnAbnormalThd, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC sets the counter to zero
and waits for the next RTWP measurement value.
8. The RNC checks whether |Fn - current background noise| is greater than the value of
BgnUpdateThd. The purpose is to prevent frequent background noise upgrades on the Iub interface.
If it is greater than the value of BgnUpdateThd, the RNC sets the current background noise to Fn,
sets the counter to zero, and waits for the next RTWP measurement value. Otherwise, the RNC sets
the counter to zero and waits for the next RTWP measurement value.

The PUC function is enabled only when the PUC subparameter of the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter
is set to 1.
For a cell not supporting DC-HSDPA, the RNC periodically monitors the downlink load of the cell.
If the cell load is higher than the upper threshold (SpucHeavy) plus the load level division hysteresis
(SpucHyst), the cell load is considered heavy.
If the cell load is lower than the lower threshold (SpucLight) minus SpucHyst, the cell load is
considered light.
For a cell supporting DC-HSDPA, the RNC concurrently monitors the load state of each single cell and
load state of the cell group.
The checking of load state of a single cell is the same as that of a cell not supporting DC-HSDPA.
the load of the two cells is higher than their upper thresholds (SpucHeavy) plus their load level
division hysteresis (SpucHyst), the load of the cell group is considered heavy.
If
the load of the two cells is lower than their lower thresholds (SpucLight) minus their load level
division hysteresis (SpucHyst), the load of the cell group is considered light.
The load state of a cell supporting DC-HSDPA is determined based on the following table.

The states of a cell load are heavy, normal, and light, as shown in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2 Cell load states
If the cell load becomes heavy, the PUC modifies cell selection and reselection parameters and
broadcasts them through system information. In this way, the PUC leads UEs to the neighboring cells
with light load.
If the cell load becomes normal, the PUC uses the cell selection and reselection parameters
configured on the RNC LMT.
If the cell load becomes light, the PUC modifies cell selection and reselection parameters and
broadcasts them through system information. In this way, the PUC leads UEs to this cell.
The variables related to cell selection and reselection are Qoffset1(s,n) (load level offset), Qoffset2(s,n)
(load level offset), and Sintersearch (start threshold for inter-frequency cell reselection). The following
table describes PUC-related variables and their impacts on UEs.

Load Control
IAC for RRC connection processing is used to select a suitable cell for a UE to access through
redirection and RRC DRD. It also implements load balancing and service steering.
IAC for RAB connection processing is used to select a suitable cell for a UE to access through DRD
and CAC. It also implements load balancing and service steering. Features such as preemption,
queuing, and low-rate access are used to further improve the RAB setup success rate.
In addition, IAC provides differentiated services for users with different priorities. For example, when the
system resources are insufficient, procedures such as direct admission, preemption, and redirection can
be performed to ensure the successful access of emergency calls to the network.
Figure 5-1 shows a typical procedure of service access control.

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
As shown in Figure 5-1, the procedure of service access includes the procedures for RRC connection
setup and RAB setup. The successful setup of the RRC connection is one of the prerequisites for the
RAB setup.
During the RRC connection processing, the RNC performs the following steps.
1. RRC redirection based on distance (only for UE-originating AMR services). For details, see section
5.2.2 "RRC Redirection based on Distance". If the RNC decides to obtain UE access from another
cell, it sends an RRC connection reject message to the UE; otherwise, the RNC performs the next
step.
2. RRC redirection for service steering. For details, see section 5.2.3 "RRC Redirection for Service
Steering."
If
the RNC decides to obtain UE access from the current cell, it then makes a resource-based
admission decision. If the resource-based admission fails, the RNC performs directed retry decision
(DRD) and redirection.
If
the RNC decides to obtain UE access from another cell, it then sends an RRC connection reject
message to the UE. The message carries the information about the cell and instructs the UE to set up
an RRC connection to the cell.
For details, see section 5.2 "IAC During RRC Connection Setup."
During the RAB connection processing, the RNC performs the following steps:
1. Performs inter-frequency DRD to select a suitable cell for service steering or load balancing. For
details about DRD, see the Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description
2. Performs rate negotiation according to the service requested by the UE. For details, see section 5.4
"Rate Negotiation at Admission Control."
3. Makes cell resource-based admission decision. If the admission is successful, UE access is granted.
Otherwise, the RNC performs the next step. For details about admission decision, see the Call
Admission Control Feature Parameter Description.
4. Selects a suitable cell, according to the inter-frequency DRD, from the cells where no admission
attempt has been made, and then performs step 5. If all the attempts fail, the RNC performs the next
step.
5. Selects a suitable cell according to the inter-RAT DRD. If the inter-RAT admission is successful, UE
access is granted in the inter-RAT cell. If the inter-RAT DRD fails or is not supported, the RNC
performs the next step.
6. Makes a preemption attempt. For details about preemption, see section 5.6 "Preemption." If the
preemption is successful, UE access is granted. If the preemption fails or is not supported, the RNC
performs the next step.
7. Makes a queuing attempt. For details about queuing, see section 5.7 "Queuing." If the queuing is
successful, UE access is granted. If the queuing fails or is not supported, the RNC performs the next
step.
8. Performs low-rate access. For details about low-rate access, see section 5.8 "Low-Rate Access of
the PS BE Service." If the low-rate access is admitted, UE access is granted. If the low-rate access is
unsuccessful, the RNC performs the next step.
9. Rejects UE access.
After the admission attempts of an HSPA service request fail in all candidate cells, the service falls back to the DCH. Then,
the service reattempts to access the network.

Load Control
After receiving an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message from the UE, the RNC performs the RRC
redirection based on distance (only for UE-originating AMR services). For details, see section 5.2.2
"RRC Redirection based on Distance". If the RNC decides to obtain UE access from another cell, it
sends an RRC connection reject message to the UE; otherwise, the RNC performs the next step.
Then, the RNC uses the RRC redirection algorithm for service steering to decide whether the UE can
access the network from the current cell:
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
If the UE can access the network from the current cell according to the decision result, the RNC uses
the CAC algorithm to decide whether an RRC connection can be set up between the UE and the
current cell.
If
the RRC connection can be set up between the UE and the current cell, the RNC sends an RRC
CONNECTION SETUP message to the UE.
If
the RRC connection cannot be set up between the UE and the current cell, the RNC attempts to
select a cell for RRC connection setup through RRC DRD. If the RRC DRD fails, RRC redirection will
be performed.
If the UE needs to access the network from another cell according to the decision result, the RNC
sends an RRC CONNECTION REJECT message to the UE. The message carries the information
about this cell.
RRC DRD
the propagation delay is greater than DelayThs, the RNC performs the next step.
If
the propagation delay is equal to or less than DelayThs, the RNC does not perform RRC
redirection based on distance, and handles the RRC connection setup request of the UE in the
current cell.
3. The RNC checks the load status of the current cell and checks whether to perform RRC redirection
based on distance by considering the load status.
If
the cell is in the normal state, the RNC generates a random value ranging from 0 to 1 and
compares the value with the RedirFactorOfNorm parameter. If the random value is equal to or

smaller than the parameter, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC does not perform
RRC redirection based on distance, and handles the RRC connection setup request of the UE in the
current cell.
If
the cell is in the basic congestion state or is overloaded, the RNC generates a random value
ranging from 0 to 1 and compares the value with the RedirFactorOfLDR parameter. If the random
value is equal to or smaller than the parameter, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC
does not perform RRC redirection based on distance, and handles the RRC connection setup
request of the UE in the current cell.
4. The RNC sends the UE an RRC CONNECTION REJECT message containing information on the
neighboring GSM cells of the current cell.
If the current cell does not have any neighboring GSM cell, the UE spontaneously selects a proper cell to access.
the DR_RRC_DRD_SWITCH of the parameter DrSwitch is set to 1, the RNC determines the
service type requested by the UE. If the RNC succeeds in determining the service type requested by
the UE and the switch of RRC direction for service steering (RedirSwitch) is set to
ONLY_TO_INTER_FREQUENCY or ONLY_TO_INTER_RAT, the RNC performs the next step.
Otherwise, the RNC handles the RRC connection setup request of the UE in the current cell.
If
the DR_ RRC_DRD_SWITCH of the parameter DrSwitch is set to 0, the RNC handles the RRC
connection setup request of the UE in the current cell.
2. Based on the cell load and the redirection factors, the RNC decides whether to perform RRC
redirection for service steering.
If
the cell is in the normal state, the RNC generates a random number between 0 and 1 and
compares it with the corresponding unconditional redirection factor (RedirFactorOfNorm). If the
random number is smaller than this factor, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC
handles the RRC connection setup request of the UE in the current cell.
If
the cell is in the basic congestion or overload state, the RNC generates a random number between
0 and 1 and compares it with the value of RedirFactorOfLDR. If the random number is smaller than
this factor, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the RNC handles the RRC connection setup
request of the UE in the current cell.
3. Based on the setting of RedirSwitch, the RNC takes the corresponding actions:

5.6 Preemption
Common Preemption
This section describes the pre-emption algorithm in the WRFD-010505 Queuing and Pre-Emption
feature.
By forcibly releasing the resources of lower-priority users, the preemption (pre-emption) function
increases the access success rate of higher-priority users.
After cell/cell group resource-based admission fails, the RNC performs preemption if the following
conditions are met:
The RNC receives an RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message indicating that preemption is
supported.
In the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message sent by the CN, the Pre-emption Capability IE specifies whether a service
can trigger preemption and the Pre-emption Vulnerability IE specifies whether a service can be preempted. Service
priorities and the Pre-emption Capability and Pre-emption Vulnerability IEs determine whether to perform preemption.
Issue 04 (2012-11-30)
5-12
WCDMA RAN
Load Control
The preemption algorithm checks whether the resources released by preempted UEs or RABs are sufficient for setting
up new RABs. It does not consider the remaining resources in the cell, because they may be used by other UEs during
the preemption.
For the preemption triggered for power, the preempted objects can be R99 users, R99 + HSPA combined users, or
HSPA RABs.
For the preemption triggered for the Iub bandwidth, the preempted objects can only be RABs.
For the preemption triggered for the credit resource, more than one user or RAB can be preempted.
For the preemption triggered for the code, only one user can be preempted.
3. The RNC releases the resources occupied by the candidate users or RABs.
4. The requested service directly uses the released resources to access the network without admission
decision.
For details about preemption of MBMS services, see the MBMS Feature Parameter Description.
Emergency calls take priority over other common users and therefore can preempt all non-emergency
services. The common preemption procedure can be performed regardless of the setting for
PreemptAlgoSwitch.
When NbmWpsAlgorithmSwitch is set to ON, the wireless priority service (WPS) function is enabled.
In such a case, the WPS users can trigger common preemption regardless of the setting for
PreemptAlgoSwitch. WPS users take priority over emergency call users.
WPS is a National Security/Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) voice service managed by the USA government. The
National Communications System (NCS) is authorized to manage the execution of the WPS project. The
NbmWpsAlgorithmPriority parameter specifies the WPS user priority.

Forced Preemption
Common preemption requires that RABs have been set up or are being set up for preempting users and
that preempting users have higher priorities than preemptable users. Therefore, CS services cannot
trigger preemption in the RRC connection setup phase. Even in the RAB-related phases, CS services
may fail to preempt PS services because of insufficient priorities. When PS traffic volume is high and
radio resources are insufficient, the success rate for CS service setup may decrease. To solve this
problem, forced preemption is introduced. This function ensures preferred access of AMR services and a
high success rate for AMR service setup.
After forced preemption is enabled, only CS conversational services can trigger preemption and only PS BE services can
be preempted.
This function is determined by the RsvdPara1 parameter. This parameter consists of two subparameters:
RSVDBIT4 and RSVDBIT5.
The following table describes how these two subparameters determine preemption.

WCDMA RAN
Load Control
In the case of unconditional preemption, the RNC does not compare the priority of CS conversational
services with that of PS BE services. In addition, it does not consider the Pre-emption Capability or
Pre-emption Vulnerability IE delivered by the CN. In this case, PS BE services can be preempted by any
CS conversational services and only PS BE services can be preempted. Preempted PS BE services are
ranked by priority and PS BE services with the lowest priority are preempted.
When a UE transits to the CELL_DCH state from the URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state due to a CS
service request, the RNC implements the policy of forced preemption based on the setting of the
subparameter RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT2 of ReservedSwitch0 in MML SET UNBMPARA
command.
If RESERVED_SWITCH_0_BIT2 is not selected, the CS service request does not support preemption
during a transition from the URA_PCH or CELL_PCH state to the CELL_DCH state.
5.7 Queuing
This section describes the queuing algorithm in the WRFD-010505 Queuing and Pre-Emption feature.
For PS services, after preemption fails, the RNC performs queuing if the following conditions are met:
The RNC receives an RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message indicating that queuing is supported.
The queuing function is triggered by the heartbeat timer that is set by the PollTimerLen parameter. Each
time the timer expires, the RNC selects the service that meets the requirement to make an admission
attempt.
The UE requesting DC-HSDPA services will be queued in the selected primary cell.
The queuing algorithm checks whether the queue is full, that is, whether the number of service
requests in the queue exceeds QueueLen.
The queuing algorithm decides whether to put the request into the queue, as described in the following
table.

In the case of power-based admission, the emergency call is admitted regardless of whether the CAC

In the case of hard resource-based admission, the emergency call is admitted if the current remaining
resources are sufficient for RRC connection setup. If the admission fails, preemption is performed

the highest priority. The range of users who can be preempted is specified by the
EmcPreeRefVulnSwitch parameter.
If EmcPreeRefVulnSwitch is set to ON, all non-emergency users who have accessed the network
can be preempted, regardless of the preemption-prohibited attribute of the users.

If the downlink load of a cell is higher than the cell overload threshold (CellOverrunThd), it is an
indication that the cell is heavily overloaded. In this case, the transmit power of the P-CPICH needs to
be reduced step by step. The step is specified by the PCPICHPowerPace parameter.
If the current transmit power is equal to the minimum transmit power of P-CPICH (MinPCPICHPower),
the current transmit power is not adjusted.
Because of the reduction in the pilot power, the UEs at the edge of the cell can be handed over to
neighboring cells, especially to those with a relatively light load and with relatively high pilot power.
After that, the downlink load of the cell is lightened accordingly.
If the downlink load of a cell is lower than the cell underload threshold (CellUnderrunThd), it is an
indication that the cell has sufficient remaining capacity for more load. In this case, the transmit power
of the P-CPICH can be increased step by step to help lighten the load of neighboring cells. The step is

As shown in Figure 6-2, the RNC performs the following actions in each ULB period (specified by the
IntraFreqULBPeriodTimerLen parameter):
1. The RNC obtains RTWP from the NodeB and then performs smooth filtering on the RTWP value. The
smooth filtering window is specified by the ULBAvgFilterLen parameter.
2. The RNC evaluates the uplink load of the current cell based on the filtered RTWP value.
If
the filtered RTWP value is between RTWPHeavyThd and RTWPLightThd, the RNC considers the
load of the current cell to be normal. In this case, the RNC does not adjust the pilot power in this
period.
If
the filtered RTWP value is more than or equal to RTWPHeavyThd, the RNC considers the load of
the current cell to be heavy. In this case, the RNC performs step 3.
If
the filtered RTWP value is less than or equal to RTWPLightThd, the RNC considers the load of the
current cell to be light. In this case, the RNC performs step 4.
3. The RNC compares the current pilot power and MinPCPICHPower. If the current pilot power is more
than MinPCPICHPower, the RNC decreases the current pilot power by one step (specified by the
PCPICHPowerPace parameter). Otherwise, the RNC does not adjust the pilot power in this period.
4. The RNC compares the current pilot power and MaxPCPICHPower. If the current pilot power is less
than MaxPCPICHPower, the RNC increases the current pilot power by one step (specified by the
PCPICHPowerPace parameter). Otherwise, the RNC does not adjust the pilot power in this period.

This chapter describes the WRFD-020106 Load Reshuffling feature.
When the usage of cell resource exceeds the basic congestion trigger threshold, the cell enters the basic
congestion state. In this case, Load Reshuffling (LDR) is required to reduce the cell load and increase
the access success rate.
Note:
For an HSUPA cell, if the subparamter HSUPA_EDCH_RSEPS_MEAS of NBMCacAlgoSwitch is not selected,
regardless of the value of the parameter NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch, the uplink load reshuffling algorithm will trigger basic
congestion based on ENU.
The downlink load reshuffling algorithm selection depends on the following conditions:
Congestion control based on power resource can be enabled through the DL_UU_LDR and
UL_UU_LDR subparameters of the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter.
The following figure shows the triggering and relieving of basic congestion.

As shown in Figure 7-1, if the UL/DL load of the cell is higher than or equal to the UL/DL LDR trigger
threshold (UlLdrTrigThd or DlLdrTrigThd) for a hysteresis time, the cell is in the basic congestion state,
and the related load reshuffling actions, as listed in Table 7-2, are taken. If the current UL/DL load of the
cell is lower than the UL/DL LDR relief threshold (UlLdrRelThd or DlLdrRelThd) for a hysteresis time,
the cell changes to the normal state and the related load reshuffling actions are stopped.
For the downlink, the hysteresis time is specified by the DlLdTrnsHysTime parameter; for the uplink, the hysteresis time
is 600ms.
The UL or DL LDR trigger threshold of a DC-HSDPA cell group equals the sum of the UL or DL LDR
trigger thresholds of the two cells in this group. The UL or DL LDR relief threshold of a DC-HSDPA cell
group equals the sum of the UL/DL LDR relief thresholds of the two cells in this group. If a DC-HSDPA
cell group is in the basic congestion state, the related LDR actions are performed in each cell separately.
If the load of a cell is calculated based on power resource, the uplink load of the cell is calculated based
on the uncontrollable load of the cell. and the downlink load of the cell is calculated based on the load of
non-HSPA power and GBP in the cell. If the load of a cell is calculated based on ENU, the uplink load
and the downlink load of the cell are calculated based on the total ENU load of the cell, respectively. For

The Inter-RAT Handover in CS Domain action can be performed for the HSDPA services only when
the HsdpaCMPermissionInd parameter is set to TRUE.
If the uplink power-based admission uses the ENU algorithm, the inter-frequency load handover for
HSUPA user can be performed. If the uplink power-based admission uses the power resourece
algorithm, the inter-frequency load handover for HSUPA user can`t be performed, as indicated by the
symbol "*" in the preceding table.
If the uplink power-based admission uses the ENU algorithm, the basic congestion can also be caused
by the ENU. In this situation, LDR actions do not involve AMR rate reduction or MBMS power
reduction, as indicated by the symbol "*" in the preceding table.
If the downlink power-based admission uses the ENU algorithm, the basic congestion can also be
caused by the ENU. In this situation, LDR actions do not involve AMR rate reduction or MBMS power
reduction, as indicated by the symbol "*" in the preceding table.
In the same environment, different rates have different downlink transmit powers. The higher the rate,
the greater the downlink transmit power. Therefore, the load can be reduced by bandwidth
reconfiguration.
If dynamic CE resource management is enabled, BE service rate downsizing of LDR actions that is
triggered by insufficient NodeB credit resource is ineffective to HSUPA users.
For LDR triggered by Iub resource, RNC selects UEs in the congested path or port.
Parameters related to certain LDR actions are classified into cell-level and NodeB-level parameters.
These parameters apply to different resources.
NodeB-level
parameters take effect when Iub resources, cell group credit resources, or NodeB credit

Whether the neighboring cells support blind handover is specified by the parameter BlindHoFlag.
2. The algorithm selects the target cell according to the type of resource that causes the basic

If
If the candidate cell does not support DC-HSDPA, the algorithm checks whether the load margin of
the target cell is higher than both UlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd and
DlInterFreqHoCellLoadSpaceThd and whether the load of the target cell is normal.
If the candidate cell supports DC-HSDPA, the concerned cell group and the candidate cell must have
sufficient power margin.
The load margin refers to the difference between the load of the target cell and the basic congestion triggering threshold of
the target cell. If the load of a cell is calculated based on power resource, the uplink load of the cell is calculated based on
the uncontrollable load of the cell. and the downlink load of the cell is calculated based on the load of non-HSPA power
and GBP in the cell. If the load of a cell is calculated based on ENU, the uplink load and the downlink load of the cell are
calculated based on the load of total ENU in the cell, respectively. For details about the load of a cell calculated based on
power resource and based on ENU, See Call Admission Control Feature Parameter description.
If the margin is not higher than the threshold, the action fails, and the algorithm takes the next action.
If there is more than one cell meeting the requirements, the first cell in the list of the neighbor cells is

If
If such candidate target cells do not exist, the inter-frequency load handover action fails and the
algorithm takes the next action.
If such candidate cells exist, the following step is performed.
3. The RNC issues a measurement control message to the UE, requesting the UE to measure the
signal quality of all candidate cells.
4. The UE measures the RSCP and Ec/No of the candidate cells and periodically reports the
measurement results to the RNC. The reporting period is specified by the PrdReportInterval
parameter.
5. Based on the received measurement results, the RNC selects the candidate target cells. The
candidate target cells must meet the following conditions:
The
The
measured RSCP is higher than the RSCP threshold that is specified by the TargetFreqThdRscp
parameter.
The
measured Ec/No is higher than the Ec/No threshold that is specified by the TargetFreqThdEcN0
parameter.
If such candidate target cells do not exist, the inter-frequency load handover action fails and the
algorithm takes the next action.
If such candidate target cells exist, the following step is performed.
6. The RNC selects the cell with the highest priority from the candidate target cells to perform
inter-frequency hard handover.
If
If
the handover fails, the RNC tries accessing the cell with the second highest priority to perform
inter-frequency hard handover until the handover succeeds or it has tried accessing all the candidate
target cells.
If the compressed mode is required for the UE to perform inter-frequency measurement, the RNC starts the
inter-frequency measurement timer (specified by the InterFreqMeasTime parameter) as soon as the measurement
control message is issued. If inter-frequency handover remains unsuccessful until the timer expires, the RNC stops the
inter-frequency measurement and cancels the compressed mode.
BE rate reduction can only be performed when the DRA_DCCC_SWITCH subparameter of the
DraSwitch parameter is set to 1.
The LDR algorithm operates as follows:
1. Based on the integrated priority, the algorithm sorts the BE RABs in descending order.
2. The algorithm selects the BE RABs that meet the following condition:
The

3. For the selected UEs, the LDR module sends the load handover command to the inter-RAT handover
module, requesting the inter-RAT handover module to hand over the UEs to the 2G system.
4. The handover module decides to trigger the inter-RAT handover, depending on the capability of the
UE to support the compressed mode.

GBR for AMR services (conversational). The number of selected RABs is specified by the
DlLdrAMRRateReductionRabNum parameter. If the RNC cannot find an appropriate RAB for the
AMR rate reduction, the action fails. The algorithm takes the next action.
3. The RNC sends the rate control request message through the Iu interface to the CN to adjust the
AMR rate to the GBR.
If
no such candidate subtree is available, subtree selection fails. This procedure ends.
3. Selects a subtree from the candidate subtrees according to the setting of LdrCodePriUseInd.
If
this parameter is set to TRUE, the algorithm selects the subtree with the largest code number from
the candidates.
If
this parameter is set to FALSE, the algorithm selects the subtree with the smallest number of users
from the candidates. if multiple subtrees have the same number of users, the algorithm selects the
subtree with the largest code number.
4. Treats each user in the subtree as a new user and allocates code resources to each user.
5. Initiates the reconfiguration procedure for each user in the subtree and reconfigures the
channelization codes of the users to the newly allocated code resources.
The reconfiguration procedure on the UU interface is initiated through the PHYSICAL CHANNEL

If the actions in the two directions are identical, the actions are combined. For example, if BE rate
reduction actions in both the uplink and the downlink need to be applied to the same UE, then only a
single RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message is sent out.
If the actions in the two directions are different and if one direction requires inter-frequency handover,
the UE undergoes the inter-frequency handover. The action in the other direction is not taken.
If the actions in the two directions are different and if one direction requires the inter-RAT handover,

If the action in one direction requires inter-frequency handover, and the action in the other direction

8 Overload Control
8 Overload Control
This chapter describes the WRFD-020107 Overload Control feature.
After the UE access is allowed, the power consumed by a single link is adjusted by the single link power
control function. The power varies with factors such as the mobility of the UE and the changes in the
environment. In some situations, the total power load of the cell can be higher than the target load. To
ensure the system stability, Overload Control (OLC) must be performed.
OLC can be enabled through the UL_UU_OLC and DL_UU_OLC subparameters of the
NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter.
The following figure shows the triggering and release of cell power overload.
Figure 8-1 Triggering and release of cell power overload
As shown in Figure 8-1, if the UL/DL load of the cell is higher than or equal to the UlOlcTrigThd or
DlOlcTrigThd for a hysteresis time, the cell is in the overload state, and the related overload handling
action is taken. If the current UL/DL load of the cell is lower than the UlOlcRelThd or DlOlcRelThd for a
hysteresis time, the overload state of the cell is released and the related overload handling is stopped.
For the downlink, the hysteresis time is specified by the parameter DlLdTrnsHysTime; for the uplink, the hysteresis time
is 600ms.

8 Overload Control
The UL or DL OLC trigger threshold of a DC-HSDPA cell group equals the sum of the UL or DL OLC
trigger thresholds of the two cells in this group. The UL or DL OLC relief threshold of a DC-HSDPA cell
group equals the sum of the UL or DL OLC relief thresholds of the two cells in this group. If a DC-HSDPA
cell group is overloaded, the related overload handling is performed in each cell separately.
The uplink load of an HSUPA cell is calculated based on the uncontrollable load of the cell. The downlink
load of an HSDPA cell is calculated based on the load of non-HSPA power and GBP in the cell.
In addition to periodic measurement, event-triggered measurement is applicable to OLC.
If the subparameter OLC_EVENTMEAS of the parameter NBMLdcAlgoSwitch is set to 1, the RNC
sends the NodeB a request for event measurement based on power resource. In the associated request
message, the reporting criterion is specified, including the hysteresis time, the related OLC thresholds.
Then the NodeB checks the current power load in real time according to this criterion and reports the
status to the RNC periodically if the conditions of reporting are met.
Limited by 3GPP, the NodeB cannot check the total load of the non-HSDPA power and the GBP. Therefore, the
recommended setting of OLC_EVENTMEAS is 0 for HSDPA cells.

Coverage This parameter is valid when
DRA_BASE_RES_BE_TTI_RECFG_SWITCH(Dra
Switch) is set to ON.
7) DRA_BASE_RES_BE_TTI_RECFG_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the TTI dynamic adjustment
algorithm is supported for differentiation-based BE
services.
8) DRA_DCCC_SWITCH: When the switch is on,
the dynamic channel reconfiguration control
algorithm is used for the RNC.
9) DRA_HSDPA_DL_FLOW_CONTROL_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, flow control is enabled for
HSDPA services in AM mode.
10) DRA_HSDPA_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the status of the UE RRC
that carrying HSDPA services can be changed to
CELL_FACH at the RNC. If a PS BE service is
carried over the HS-DSCH, the switch
PS_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH should be on
simultaneously. If a PS real-time service is carried
over the HS-DSCH, the switch

11) DRA_HSUPA_DCCC_SWITCH: When the
switch is on, the DCCC algorithm is used for
HSUPA. The DCCC switch must be also on before
this switch takes effect.
12) DRA_HSUPA_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the status of the UE RRC
that carrying HSUPA services can be changed to
CELL_FACH at the RNC. If a PS BE service is
carried over the E-DCH, the switch
PS_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH should be on
simultaneously. If a PS real-time service is carried
over the E-DCH, the switch
PS_NON_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH should be
on simultaneously.
13) DRA_IP_SERVICE_QOS_SWITCH: Switch of
the algorithm for increasing the quality of
subscribed services. When this parameter is set to
ON, the service priority weight of the subscriber
whose key parameters (IP Address, IP Port, and IP
Protocol Type) match the specified ones can be
adjusted. In this way, the QoS is improved.
14) DRA_PS_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH: When
the switch is on, UE RRC status transition
(CELL_FACH/CELL_PCH/URA_PCH) is allowed at
the RNC.
15) DRA_PS_NON_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the status of the UE RRC
that carrying real-time services can be changed to
CELL_FACH at the RNC.
16) DRA_R99_DL_FLOW_CONTROL_SWITCH:
Under a poor radio environment, the QoS of high
speed services drops considerably and the TX
power is overly high. In this case, the RNC can set
restrictions on certain transmission formats based
on the transmission quality, thus lowering traffic
speed and TX power. When the switch is on, the
R99 downlink flow control function is enabled.
17) DRA_THROUGHPUT_DCCC_SWITCH: When
the switch is on, the DCCC based on traffic
statistics is supported over the DCH.
18) DRA_VOICE_SAVE_CE_SWITCH: when the
switch is on, the TTI selection based on the voice
service type (including VoIP and CS over HSPA) is
supported when the service is initially established.

ITCH(Opti

Control is set to ON, the RNC instructs the cells involved in
(DCCC) the active set to report cell synchronization
information by using an intra-frequency
measurement control message. When the switch is
set to OFF, the RNC instructs the cells involved in
the active set not to report cell synchronization
information by using an intra-frequency
measurement control message. This avoids the
transmission of too large measurement reports.
2) RESERVED_SWITCH_1_BIT2: When the switch
is set to ON, the intra-frequency ReadSFNInd of a
cell in system information SIB11/SIB12 is set to the
fixed value READ.
