2 Overview
After WRFD-010638 Dynamic CE Resource Management is applied, the RNC calculates the credit resource usage of an admitted HSUPA UE by using the following formula:
Credit resource usage = Max (Credit resources required for ensuring the GBR, Credit resources required for transmitting one RLC PDU)
In the preceding formula, GBR stands for guaranteed bit rate and RLC PDU stands for Radio Link Control packet data unit. The RNC performs this calculation to ensure HSUPA
user experience. However, the actual CE usage of the NodeB is lower than the calculated credit resource usage of the RNC. This is because the NodeB calculates the actual
CE usage based on the UE rate. The UE rate is lower than the GBR or the rate at which an RLC PDU is transmitted in most cases due to the high penetration rate of smart
phones with a 2 ms HSUPA transmission time interval (TTI). As a result, the RNC may reject new UE access attempts even if the actual CE usage of the NodeB is low. This
limits the RNC's capability to perform admission control based on credit resource usage.
To address this issue, Huawei introduces CE Overbooking. With this feature, the NodeB calculates the actual CE usage of admitted UEs, includes the calculated CE usage in a
private information element (IE) in a measurement report, and sends the report to the RNC every measurement report period. The RNC then directly uses the reported CE
usage as the credit resource usage. This maximizes the RNC's capability to perform admission control based on credit resource usage.
When the penetration rate of smart phones with a 2 ms HSUPA TTI is high, the average HSUPA service throughput is low, and this feature provides the following benefits:
Reduces the credit resource usage of admitted UEs.
Increases the number of admitted UEs and the number of HSUPA UEs with a 2 ms TTI.
Increases the cell uplink throughput when Uu and Iub resources are sufficient.
Figure 2-1 shows the working principles of CE Overbooking.
Figure 2-1 CE Overbooking
If layer 2 enhancement is enabled, the size of the RLC PDU provided in the preceding formula equals that of the smallest RLC PDU. If layer 2 enhancement is disabled, the size of the RLC PDU is fixed. For
details about the RLC PDU size, see the HSPA Evolution Feature Parameter Description.

3 Technical Principles
CE Overbooking is under NodeB license control and has no switch parameter on the RNC or NodeB side.
The credit resource usage that the NodeB periodically calculates and reports to the RNC involves the credit resource usage of R99 UEs and that of HSUPA UEs.
Table 3-1 describes the methods for calculating the credit resource usage before and after this feature is activated and presumes that the Dynamic CE Resource Management
feature has been enabled.
Table 3-1 Credit resource calculation methods before and after activating this feature
REVDPARA4 indicates the minimum CE reserved for admitted 2 ms TTI HSUPA UE. Its
value rang is 1 to 8 with the default value of 4 (unit: CE). If this parameter is set to a value
beyond its value range, the system uses the default parameter value. A smaller value of
this parameter leads to a larger number of admitted users. In this case, the call drop rate
may increase and user experience cannot be guaranteed. A larger value of this parameter
leads to a smaller number of admitted users. In this case, the call drop rate does not
increase and user experience can be guaranteed..
In the uplink, one CE equals two credits.
In the downlink, one CE equals one credit.
When the calculated credit resource usage on the NodeB is less than the calculation result of the preceding formula, this feature reduces the credit resource usage of admitted
UEs and increases the remaining credit resources. This has the following advantages:
More UEs can be admitted.
More HSUPA UEs are assigned with 2 ms TTI during a PS best effort (BE) service setup or reconfiguration.
Basic congestion of credit resources is relieved.
The probability of admission-CE-based dynamic TTI adjustment from 2 ms to 10 ms for BE services is reduced.

CE Overbooking performs service admission and optimization based on the preceding decision procedure. When the credit resources consumed by HSUPA users that are
calculated by the NodeB are lower than the greater one of the GBR value and the rate at which one RLC PDU is transmitted, activating CE Overbooking brings the following
advantages:
The NodeB-reported credit resources consumed by admitted users decrease and therefore the remaining credit resources on the RNC increase, indicating that the RNC can
admit and serve more users.
For details about Call Admission Control (CAC) based on NodeB credit resources, see the Call Admission Control Feature Parameter Description.

Network Performance
In a network where the average HSUPA throughput is low, CE Overbooking considers the uplink traffic volume during the calculation of the remaining credit resources. This
reduces the probability of insufficient credit resources. Therefore, this feature affects network performance as follows:
Increases the access success rate.
Increases the number of admitted UEs.
Increases the call drop rate for HSUPA UEs.
When more UEs are admitted, the air interface load becomes heavier and CE resources may become insufficient due to more concurrent data transmissions, either of which
may lead to higher call drop rates.
CE Overbooking increases the number of admitted users. Therefore, the handover success rate and the RRC connection setup success rate may decrease when credit resources are congested, but the
probability is low and network performance is generally not affected.
