Chapter 13 Load Control
13.1 Introduction
Load control is a series of algorithms which can control the cell’s total load and keep it
in a stable region. Figure 13-1 provides the relationship of noise rise and the user
number per cell. Noise rise can be seen as an estimating metric of cell’s load.
Figure 13-1 Relationship between noise rise and load factor
Load control is comprised by 6 sub features:

z Call Admission Control (CAC)
z Load Congestion Control (LCC)
z Inter-frequency load balancing (LDB)
z Cell Breathing
z Potential User Control (PUC)
z Directed Retry Decision and redirection (DRD)
The algorithms’ application realm and inter-action relationship can be expressed as
follows.
I. Seeing from the Point of Individual Call
As shown in Figure 13-2:
13-1
Feature Description
1) For users in the idle status, PUC takes effect;

2) If a user initiates a new call, CAC does the checking and admission;
3) For rejected users, RNC use DRD mechanism to assign them another chance;
4) For the accepted users, they will be managed or impacted by LCC, cell breathing
or inter-frequency load balancing algorithms.

II. Seeing from the Point of Neighboring Cells
As shown in Figure 13-3, PUC, DRD and inter-frequency load balancing will transfer
some users from cell A (the serving cell) to the neighboring cell B in another carrier.
Cell breathing algorithm will move some users between cell A and cell B (they are in
the same carrier). CAC and LCC only manage the users just inside cell A.

III. Seeing from the Point of Load Variety
Along with the increase of the cell load, different algorithm will become effective in
order as shown in Figure 13-4.
13-2
Feature Description
NodeB TX Power (Noise)
Load (user no.)
Many users drop
LCC begins: BE services' rate will be reduced

and some victims will be selected and dropped.
CAC begins: New calls will be rejected by the heavy

cell. DRD begins: Direct the rejected users to
neighboring cells or GSM cells.
Cell breathing and inter-freq load balancing begin:

need NO load control Hot-spot load can be distributed to other cells
PUC begins: Idle users can camp on light cells
Figure 13-4 The algorithms’ application realm and Inter-action relationship (load variety)
The algorithms of load control will perform real-time monitoring on the load of the cell,
indicate the idle users to camp on the light-loaded cells (PUC), accept or deny the new
calls based their impact to the total load (CAC), expand or shrink the coverage of
CPICH depending on the load (Cell breathing), select and then handover some users
to an inter-frequency neighboring cell (Inter-frequency load balancing), direct the
rejected users to retry in other cells (DRD), detect the cells’ congestion and relieve it
(LCC). These can guarantee the cells’ coverage and capacity, make the network stay
in a stable status and keep the customers’ QoS (Quality of Service).
13.2 Glossary
13.2.1 Terms
PN: Background noise of base station receiver. It is the sum of thermal noise and base
station receiver noise.
13-3
Feature Description
UL: Uplink load factor. The uplink load factor is related to RTWP, it can be calculated
PN
ηUL = 1 −
by formula RTWP .
Eb/No: Bit energy divided by the noise spectral density. It means the required SNR for
demodulating the transmitted signal. Uplink and downlink have different value.
Ec/No: The received energy per chip divided by the power density in the band. The
CPICH Ec/No is identical to CPICH RSCP/UTRA Carrier RSSI. Measurement shall be
performed on the Primary CPICH.
Quality of Service: The collective effect of service performances which determine the
degree of satisfaction of a user of a service. It is characterized by the combined
aspects of performance factors applicable to all services, such as:
z service operability performance;
z service accessibility performance;
z service retainability performance;
z service integrity performance; and
z Other factors specific to each service.

13.3 Application
13.3.1 Availability
These features are available on BSC6800 V100R002 and later generic releases of the
BSC6800 system.
Intra-system DRD, Inter-system DRD, Inter-system Redirection, PUC, Intra-frequency

cell LDB, Inter-frequency cell LDB are optional features for Huawei UMTS RAN.
13.3.2 Benefit
The load control feature can guarantee the cells’ coverage and capacity, make the
network stay in a stable status, and keep the customers’ Quality of Service (QoS).
13.3.3 Limitation and Restriction
Intra-system DRD, Inter-system DRD, Inter-system Redirection, PUC, Intra-frequency

cell LDB, Inter-frequency cell LDB are restricted by license. The RNC provides these
functions only when the “INTRA-SYSTEM DRD, INTER-SYSTEM DRD,
13-5
Feature Description
INTER-SYSTEM REDIRECTION, PUC, INTRA-FREQUENCY CELL LDB,

INTER-FREQUENCY CELL LDB” licenses are purchased.
For PUC, only inter-frequency neighboring cell will become the camping target. There
is no impact to intra-frequency neighboring cells. This function is done mainly by the
cell selection and re-selection process in UE. So what the network can do is just
adjusting some parameters. This function needs the supporting from UE.
Cell breathing adjusts the power of CPICH only depending on the TCP. But CPICH
power is a sensitive metric, many parameters are set relative to this metric, so the
adjustment of it will cause magnitude impact. This function should be used very
carefully.
As inter-frequency LDB, the handover is blind handover which needs no measurement.

Therefore the target cell’s coverage has to be larger than or the same as the source
cell, this function is only applied to concentric cells.
The RAB Retry Procedure is only applied to CS speech (identified through the traffic
class setting within the UEs RAB request) and encompasses redirection to GSM.

ultimate result of these algorithms, UE will be the beneficiary.

the cell selection and

Are these
No parameters changed? Yes
Figure 13-8 Potential User Control
Potential User Control (PUC) is used by RNC to manage traffic load amongst overlaid
cells with different carrier frequencies.
The cell load is labeled HEAVY, NORMAL or LIGHT by comparison of the load with
some thresholds.
Load is managed by altering the cell selection and reselection parameters, which are
broadcasted in system information. If the cell load is labeled as HEAVY, these
parameters are adjusted to make users in serving cell easier to select neighboring
cells; if the cell load is labeled as LIGHT, these parameters are modified to make users
in neighboring cells easier to camp in the serving cell.
UEs in Idle mode or CELL_FACH state will be affected.
13.4.4 Cell Breathing

Figure 13-9 shows the principle of cell breathing.

Feature Description

If Cell A’s load is heavy while Cell B is load is light, decrease PCPICH power of Cell A to let
some UEs handover to Cell B or reselect to Cell B, and thus balance the load the two cells.

Step 1;
5) If PCPICH power has already reached its maximum value, go to Step 1;
otherwise increase the power of PCPICH by a step.
13.4.5 Inter-frequency Load Balancing
Inter-frequency load balancing focuses on the heaviest-loaded cell and distributes its
load into the lightest-loaded cell by selecting some UEs and handover them, which
can balance the load between cells in the same region.
The handover is blind handover which needs no measurement. Therefore the target
cell’s coverage has to be larger than or the same as the source cell, this function is
only applied to concentric cells. Figure 13-11 shows the Inter-frequency load balancing
algorism.

area, select the heaviest-loaded one

cells is greater than a certain threshold?

cell and hand them over to the lightest-

13.4.6 Directed Retry Decision and Redirection
This algorithm includes three key levels of functionality, namely:

z RRC Retry Decision Algorithm
z Redirection Algorithm
z RAB Retry Decision Algorithm

three components of the DRD algorithm.

Figure 13-12 Directed Retry Decision and Redirection
1) When a UE wants to establish an RRC connection it must first send an RRC

CONNECTION SETUP REQUEST message to the UTRAN (RNC) to establish an
SRB on a DCH. To invoke the DRD algorithm, the UE should include a RACH
measurement report (containing the CPICH Ec/No measurements of several
neighboring/candidate cells). This list of candidate cells is then ranked in
descending order, based on the Ec/No measurements;
2) If the UE cannot establish an RRC connection with its preferred cell, the
candidate list is then sequentially examined in a top-down manner until a suitable
cell is obtained. Then the selected cell information is sent to UE by RRC
CONNECTION SETUP. This is so called RRC Retry Decision Algorithm;
3) If none of the cells in the list satisfy the criteria of the RRC Retry Decision
Algorithm, the UE fails in its attempt to establish an RRC connection and the
13-12
Feature Description
Redirection Algorithm is invoked. The latter algorithm will use the Redirection
IE in RRC CONNECTION REJECT message to redirect UE to another frequency
or other system (e.g. GSM);
4) If the UE is successful in its attempt to establish the requested RRC connection,
the CN then initiates the RAB assignment procedure. If the assignment procedure
is not successful, the RAB Retry Decision Algorithm is invoked to retry the
procedure in an inter-frequency cell or a GSM cell.
13.4.7 Load Congestion Control
Congestion is an emergent status. Once RNC detects such a status, what it should do
is to reduce the cell’s load as quickly as possible. Figure 13-13 shows the Load
Congestion Control algorithm.
Monitoring the serving cell's

current load periodically.

bandwidth temporarily.
y Selective user dropping.

The candidate action includes the follows:

z reducing the BE users’ bandwidth temporarily
z dropping some users
13-13
Feature Description
13.5 Interaction
Feature Interaction
In the case that the DCCC desires to increase a user's transmission data rate on
either up or downlink or both, a reconfiguration requests is sent to CAC for admission
checking. If the admission is granted by the CAC, the reconfiguration may be
DCCC
successful. If the reconfiguration request is rejected by the CAC, the call will continue
with its current data rate. When LCC wants to reduce the BE users’ bandwidth, it
should have to ask DCCC to perform the actual operation.
If inter-frequency load balancing wants to handover some UEs, it should have to

HO
revoke HO to do the actual action.
