For power resource, the RNC performs periodic measurement and checks whether
the cells are congested. For code, Iub, and NodeB credit resources, event-triggered
congestion applies, that is, the RNC checks whether the cells are congested when
resource usage changes.

According to Huawei definition, 2 type of counters are used to describe the system
load states:
 Number that the system is in LDR/OLC state: it would be pegged only when
the system state changes from no congestion to LDR/OLC.
 Duration that the system is in LDR/OLC state: it would be pegged if the
system is in LDR/OLC state.

For example:
 State 1:
 Number that the system is in LDR/OLC state would be 10 (times)
 Duration that the system is in LDR/OLC state would be 50 (seconds)
 State 2:
 Number that the system is in LDR/OLC state would be 2 (times)
 Duration that the system is in LDR/OLC state would be 50 (seconds)
