FDD/TDD Bearer Service
Service
UMTS Bearer Service can be subdivided into Radio Access Bearer Service and CN
Bearer Service. One by one, the following describes all the radio access bearer services
supported by ZTE.
This feature provides CS AMR voice services at eight rates: 12.2Kbps, 10.2Kbps,
7.95Kbps, 7.4Kbps, 6.7Kbps, 5.9Kbps, 5.15Kbps, and 4.75Kbps.
RAB radio parameters of CS AMR voice conversation services follow the definition in the
3GPP TS 34.108.
If the fixed network user rate is 56 Kbps, the Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) of the
corresponding RAB will be set as 64 Kbps by the CN.
When CS RAB is used to bear CS multimedia call services, the following services will be
included:
As defined by the 3GPP, CS multimedia call services conform to the H.324M subset.
RAB radio parameters of CS data conversation services follow the definition in the
3GPP TS 34.108.
64Kbps RAB is used for transparent CS data services. 57.6Kbps RAB, 28.8K RAB, and
14.4Kbps RAB are used for non-transparent CS data services. If the air interface rate is
less than or equal to 14.4 Kbps, the Maximum Bit Rate (MBR) and GBR of RAB will be
set as 14.4 Kbps by the CN.
RAB radio parameters of CS data streaming services follow the definition in the 3GPP
TS 34.108.
Interactive RAB services include webpage browse, online game, database retrieval, and
server access. The features of interactive services are as follows: They employ end
users' request-response mode and require high round-trip delay. Data packets must be
transparently transmitted. There should be a low bit error ratio.
Background RAB services include e-mail, SMS, and database download. The features
of background services are as follows: Within a certain period of time, a destination does
not expect data to arrive. Background services are not quite sensitive to delay. Data
packets do not need to be transparently transmitted. They should be received error-free.
as 14.4Mbps. For HSDPA function, refer to the ZTE UMTS HSDPA Introduction Feature
Description. For HSUPA function, refer to the ZTE UMTS HSUPA Introduction Feature
Description.
Once RAB is established, the CN will allocate a corresponding MBR. When a small
amount of data is transmitted, the system will automatically select a smaller data
transmission format for the sake of low-rate transmission.
In order to support an IMS, Signaling RAB will be introduced to support the Session
Initiated Protocol (SIP). Signaling RAB is interactive RAB. For details, refer to the ZTE
VoIP Bearers Feature Description.
This feature provides PS streaming data services (uplink and downlink), which include:
16Kbps, 32Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 144Kbps, 256Kbps, and 384Kbps. When the rate is
greater than 384Kbps, HSDPA or HSUPA support will be introduced. The uplink rate
may be as high as 5.76Mbps and the downlink rate as high as 14.4Mbps. For HSDPA
function, refer to the ZTE UMTS HSDPA Introduction Feature Description. For HSUPA
function, refer to the ZTE UMTS HSUPA Introduction Feature Description.
Once RAB is established, the CN will allocate a corresponding MBR. When a small
amount of data is transmitted, the system will automatically select a smaller data
transmission format for the sake of low-rate transmission. The lowest rate is the GBR
assigned by the CN.
RAB radio parameters of PS streaming data services follow the definition in the 3GPP
TS 34.108.
2.1.6 ZWF21-02-006 RAB Combination for AMR speech and Packet Data
Service
This feature provides concurrent CS AMR voice services and PS data services.
Concurrent PS data services may be interactive/background services or streaming
services. The data rate of PS services may be any rate of the above-mentioned
interactive/background services or streaming services. A CS AMR voice service can be
accompanied by up to three PS RABs.
To fully guarantee the QoS of CS AMR voice services, the DCH rate of PS services will
be reduced by means of the DRBC algorithm when a concurrent service is established.
In the concurrent period, if there are sufficient radio resources, the DCH rate of PS data
services can be gradually increased by means of the DRBC algorithm. The DRBC
algorithm also defines the DCH total upper limit rate (that is, 128Kbps) of all PS

concurrent period, if there are sufficient radio resources, the DCH rate of PS data
services can be gradually increased by means of the DRBC algorithm. The DRBC
algorithm also defines the DCH total upper limit rate of all PS interactive/background
services of UE in the concurrent period. The DCH total upper limit rate is related to the
rate of CS services. If the rate of CS services does not exceed 32Kbps, the DCH total
upper limit rate is 128Kbps; otherwise, the DCH total upper limit rate is 64Kbps. For the
DRBC algorithm, refer to the ZTE UMTS DRBC Algorithm Feature Description.
The RAB radio parameters of this feature follow the definition in the 3GPP TS 34.108.
3 Technical Description
This part details the typical flow of establishment and release of service RAB.
When UE is in CELL_DCH status, RNC receives RAB establishment request from CN.
According to the channel allocation algorithm policy, UE may maintain its CELL_DCH
status after RAB establishment. For the channel allocation algorithm policy, refer to the
ZTE UMTS DRBC Algorithm Feature Description V2.5 CHS. Figure 2 shows the basic
RAB establishment flow of CELL_DCH to CELL_DCH. The corresponding procedures
are as follows:
1 CN initiates establishment of the radio access bearer with RANAP message Radio
Access Bearer Assignment Request. According to the MaxBitRate, Direction,
Domain, and TrafficClass in the RAB parameters assigned by CN, SRNC matches it
to a corresponding service subclass Sub-Service and allocates network side
resources.
2 SRNC requests its Node B to prepare establishment of DCH or HSPA Flow to carry
the radio access bearer (Radio Link Reconfiguration Prepare).
3 Node B allocates resources and notifies SRNC that the preparation is ready (Radio
Link Reconfiguration Ready).
4 NBAP message Radio Link Reconfiguration Commit is sent from SRNC to Node B.
7 SRNC sends RANAP message Radio Access Bearer Assignment Response to CN.
When UE is in CELL_FACH status, RNC receives RAB establishment request from CN.
According to the channel allocation algorithm policy, UE may migrate to CELL_DCH
status after RAB establishment. For the channel allocation algorithm policy, refer to the
ZTE UMTS DRBC Algorithm Feature Description V2.5 CHS. Figure 3 shows the basic
RAB establishment flow of CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH. The corresponding procedures
are as follows:
1 CN initiates establishment of the radio access bearer with RANAP Radio Access
Bearer Assignment Request message. According to the MaxBitRate, Direction,
Domain, and TrafficClass in the RAB parameters assigned by CN, SRNC matches it
to a corresponding service subclass Sub-Service and allocates network side
resources.
2 SRNC requests its Node B to establish of a new DCH or HSPA flow sending the
Radio Link Setup Request message.
3 Node B allocates resources and notifies SRNC that the setup is sending the Radio
Link Setup Response.
5 Node B achieves uplink sync and notifies SRNC with NBAP message Radio Link
Restore Indication.
7 SRNC sends RANAP message Radio Access Bearer Assignment Response to CN.

When UE is in CELL_FACH status, RNC receives RAB establishment request from CN.
According to the channel allocation algorithm policy, UE may maintain its CELL_FACH
status after RAB establishment. For the channel allocation algorithm policy, refer to the
ZTE UMTS DRBC Algorithm Feature Description V2.5 CHS.Figure 4 shows the basic
RAB establishment flow of CELL_FACH to CELL_FACH. The corresponding procedures
are as follows:
1 CN initiates establishment of the radio access bearer with RANAP Radio Access
Bearer Assignment Request message. According to the MaxBitRate, Direction,
Domain, and TrafficClass in the RAB parameters assigned by CN, SRNC matches it
to a corresponding service subclass Sub-Service and allocates network side
resources.
4 SRNC sends RANAP message Radio Access Bearer Assignment Response to CN.
When UE is in CELL_DCH status, RNC receives IU release request from CN. In this
case, RRC connection can be directly released and all service RABs of UE are released.
Figure 5 shows the basic RRC connection release flow in CELL_DCH status. The
corresponding procedures are as follows:
4 The SRNC initiates the release of the link by sending the Radio Link Deletion to the
Node B (SRNC).
5 The Node B (SRNC) confirms the release of the link by sending the Radio Link
Deletion Response to the SRNC.
When UE is in CELL_FACH status, RNC receives IU release request from CN. In this
case, RRC connection can be directly released and all service RABs of UE are released.
Figure 6 shows the basic RRC connection release flow in CELL_FACH status. The
corresponding procedures are as follows:
UE has established service and is in CELL_DCH status. It receives RAB release request
from CN at this time. After RAB release, UE will maintain its CELL_DCH status. Figure 7
shows the basic RAB release flow in CELL_DCH status. The corresponding procedures
are as follows:
1 CN initiates release of the radio access bearer with RANAP message Radio Access
Bearer Assignment Request.
2 SRNC requests its Node B to prepare release of DCH or HSPA Flow carrying the
radio access bearer (Radio Link Reconfiguration Prepare).
3 Node B notifies SRNC that release preparation is ready (Radio Link Reconfiguration
Ready).
4 NBAP message Radio Link Reconfiguration Commit is sent from SRNC to Node B.
7 SRNC acknowledges the release of radio access bearer (Radio Access Bearer
Assignment Response).
1 CN initiates release of the radio access bearer with RANAP message Radio Access
Bearer Assignment Request.
4 SRNC acknowledges the release of radio access bearer (Radio Access Bearer
Assignment Response).
