1 Introduction
The service traffic will increase a lot on Christmas and New Year's Day and if it exceeds the
RNC capability, there will be an overload alarm. Generally speaking, the overload in this
situation is not an accident because Huawei RNC has an automatic flow control mechanism to
reduce the RNC load which will guarantee the system reliability in the high traffic situation.
The most important thing is to ensure that the flow control algorithm is working properly before
the heavy traffic. Some parameters also can be tuned to reduce the traffic temporarily.

2.1.4 N300 Parameter Value
The N300 parameter is the maximum number of retransmission of RRC CONNECTION
REQUEST message (default value is 3). When the UMTS network becomes congested, the RRC
CONNECTION REQUEST messages will be rejected by the RNC and the UE will retransmit the
CONNECTION REQUEST message according to the N300 and T300 values. In this way there
will be useless requests generated in congestion situation and the SPU will still be consumed
because of the redundancy of the RRC request.
For the Christmas and New Years Day, the N300 value can be modified to 1, so that the RRC
CONNECTION REQUEST message will be retransmitted only one time which will decrease the
RRC signaling messages. After that the original value of N300 should be restored.
Related MML command:
SET IDLEMODETIMER: N300=1;
2.1.5 Periodic Location and Routing Update Timer
The T3212 parameter indicates the timer length of the periodical location update which is
implemented by the MS through the location update procedure. The current configuration in the
network is four hours (default configuration is one hour).
When there are a lot of subscribers on Christmas and New Years Day, we can increase the value
to 12 hours which can reduce the RRC signaling messages.
Related MML command:
MOD CNDOMAIN:CNDOMAINID=CS_DOMAIN, T3212=120;
The periodical route update timer in SGSN is also recommended to be set as 12 hours.

Please note that these parameters needs to be negotiated with CN and should be restored to their
original values after the Christmas and New Years Eve.
2.1.6 Sending Paging Message Using TMSI
The Core Network should send the paging request message to UTRAN using UE TMSI, not the
IMSI which will reduce the congestion on the PCH channel.
2.1.7
Access class restriction provides a solution to implement access flow control when the CPU
occupancy is high. It reduces the signaling overload (call attempts) to allow accessibility of
certain users on the network.
The RNC monitors the CPU occupancy of a SPU subsystem and if it is higher than the [AC
Control Threshold] the access restriction starts. The RNC handles the access restriction for all
cells under the CPU at an interval of [AC Restriction Interval of Cell]. If the CPU occupancy is
lower than the [AC Restore Threshold], the access restriction is stopped and all cellss restricted
access classes are set to not-barred. Ensure that the AC Restriction Switch is on.
The access class restriction is set by an [AC Restriction Percent] percentage of restriction from
10% to 100% with a step of 10%. At any time during an [AC Restriction Interval Length], only
[AC Restriction Percent] of ACs are restricted. In the next [AC Restriction Interval Length], the
barred ACs are unrestricted and another set of ACs are set to barred, and so on until the CPU
occupancy is normal.

The access class restriction performance is related to the AC distribution in HLR for all the
subscribers, so we dont recommend using this method without the subscriber AC information.
2.1.8 CN Overload Control
When the RNC receives an OVERLOAD Message from CN, it will reduce the traffic class step
by step and if no OVERLOAD message is received for a certain period of time, it will restore the
traffic class step by step. Every traffic class has its corresponding discarded probability and the
RNC will discard the Initial UE Message to decrease the CN overload.

many signaling messages of the Iu interface are discarded so we need to relieve the SAAL link
from the congestion.
Operation:
Gradually block some NodeBs in the RNC to push some users to 2G to relieve the Iu interface
congestion.
3.4 No Traffic In One SPU Board Or In One SPU Subsystem
Monitor:
If there are a lot of IPC Interrupted alarms in the alarm window and in the alarms the
destination board is the same SPU board, this probably means that there is something wrong with
this SPU board. Trace the Iu and Uu interfaces to check whether this SPU board is abnormal.
Operation:
Pull out the SPU board and pull in the board again.
3.5 Transmission Alarm on the Interface Board (LPU, BIE, FG2, GOU, UOI, AOU and so
on)
Monitor:
Monitoring the Alarm window, if transmission alarm raises then start the trace in the standard
interface, if there is no traffic, there will be some problem.
Operation:
Swap the board or the port and contact the maintenance engineer of transmission.
