3. DCCC Based on Throughput
3.1 Throughput Measurement and Event Reporting 3.2 Rate Adjustment Based on Throughput 3.3 Signaling Procedure
Page38
Throughput Measurement Item
In each measurement period, the MAC-d measures the traffic volume of radio bearers (RBs). Then, it divides the
measurement result by the measurement period to obtain

the throughput
To enable throughput-based rate adjustment on the DCH, set
the subparameter THROU_DCCC_SWITCH of the parameter

CfgSwitch to ON
To enable throughput-based rate adjustment for HSUPA, set the subparameter DRA_HSUPA_DCCC_SWITCH of the parameter DraSwitch to ON
Page39
Throughput Measurement Event
Event 4a:
Throughput is above a threshold for a period of time
Event 4b:
Throughput is below a threshold for a period of time
Page40
Throughput Measurement Event (Cont.)
Mechanism of measuring the throughput and reporting events 4a and 4b:
Page41
Rate Adjustment Set
Compared with R99 service, HSUPA can support higher bit rate. Usually there is big gap between maximum and minimum bit rate. To utilize the rate adjustment effectively, some middle bit rate levels and associated thresholds need to be added. We call all the bit rates and thresholds as a Rate Adjustment Set, just like {(Rmin, TRmin), (R1, TR1 ), , (Rmax,TRmax)}
If the subscribed MBR is bigger than Rmin, the DCCC algorithm is on. Otherwise, the DCCC algorithm will not work
Page42
Threshold for Triggering Events 4a/4b
In the aspect of DCCC for HSUPA service:
The threshold of 4a is the throughput threshold associated with the current HSUPA adjustment rate, that is, TRt
TRt = Rt * (threshold rate ratio)t
The threshold of 4b is the throughput threshold associated with the latest HSUPA adjustment rate, that is, TRt1
TRt1 = Rt1 * (threshold rate ratio)t1
Page44
Threshold for Triggering Events 4a/4b (Cont.)
In the aspect of DCCC for DCH service:
The threshold of 4b is the throughput threshold associated with the latest DCH adjustment rate, that is, TRt1
TRt1 = Rt1 * (threshold rate ratio)t1

Parameter name: HSUPA DCCC Strategy Recommended value: RATE_UP_AND_DOWN_ON_EDCH
Page53
Rate Adjustment Procedure for EDCH
Principles of RATE_UP_AND_DOWN_ON_EDCH:
After a report on event 4a is received, the rate is increased by one level, that is, from Rt to Rt+1. If the current rate is the MBR, no action is required
After a report on event 4b is received, the rate is decreased to a rate that is close to the corresponding throughput. If the reported throughput is TR and TRi1 < TR < TRi, then the RB adjustment rate is Ri
Page54
Rate Adjustment Procedure for EDCH (Cont.)
Principles of RATE_UP_ONLY_ON_EDCH:
After a report on event 4a is received, the rate is increased by one level, that is, from Rt to Rt+1. If the current rate is the MBR, no action is required
After a report on event 4b is received, rate decrease is not performed. Instead, state transition is performed according to the principles described in section 6 "UE State Transition"
Page55
Rate Adjustment Procedure for DCH
After a report on event 4b is received, the rate is decreased to a rate that is close to the corresponding throughput. If the reported throughput is TR and TRi1 < TR < TRi, then the RB adjustment rate is Ri
The above process applies to both uplink and downlink

Uplink Stability Measurement Item
UL stability measurement involves two measurement items: UL TX power of the UE and UL BLER
The UL TX power of the UE is measured on the Uu interface. If the UL TX power reaches the maximum power, you can infer that the radio link is unstable
The UL BLER is measured by the RNC. If the UL BLER is

excessively high, you can infer that the radio link is unstable
Page62
Uplink Stability Measurement Event
UL TX power of the UE:
Event 6A (6A1/6A2): The UE TX power is above a certain threshold
for a period of time
Event 6B (6B1/6B2): The UE TX power is below a certain threshold for a period of time
Event 6D: The UE TX power is equal to the maximum allowed TX power for a period of time

Downlink Stability Measurement Item
DL stability measurement involves two measurement items: TCP and RLC PDU retransmission rate
The TX power in the pilot field of the DPCCH is measured on the

NodeB side. When the TX power is above the threshold of event Ea, you can infer that the radio link is unstable
Whether the RLC PDU retransmission rate needs to be measured can be specified by the parameter SrncBeDlRlcQosSwitch. The RLC PDU retransmission rate is reported by event A. When the RLC PDU retransmission rate is above the threshold of event A, you can infer
that the radio link is unstable
Page74
Downlink Stability Measurement Event
DL TX power in the pilot field of the DPCCH:
Event E (Ea/Eb): is used to check whether the DL power is excessively high, and trigger a DL rate decrease
Event F (Fa/Fb): is used to check whether the DL power is excessively low, and trigger a DL rate increase
DL RLC PDU retransmission rate:
Event A: The PDU retransmission rate during the sliding window is above the predefined threshold
Page75
Event E
Event E has two measurement thresholds, that is, E threshold 1 and E threshold 2:
Event Ea means that the TX power is above E threshold 1

Event Eb means that the TX power is below E threshold 2
For different services, there are different thresholds for event
Ea/Eb. The E threshold of event Ea/Eb is obtained from the

relative threshold and calculated according to the following formula:
E threshold = Maximum DL power Relative threshold + PO3

Page102
Rate Adjustment Based on Uplink Congestion
When LDR triggers BE service rate decrease, the selected RAB rate is decreased to the target rate. The target rates for
rate adjustment are different for DCH RAB and HSUPA

RAB:
If the selected RAB is a DCH RAB, the rate adjustment level
can only be 3_Rates:
If the current rate is equal to the MBR, it is decreased to the UL middle rate threshold
If the current rate is higher than the GBR but lower than the MBR, it is decreased to the GBR
Page103
Rate Adjustment Based on Uplink Congestion (Cont.)
If the selected RAB is an HSUPA RAB, a rate is selected from the HSUPA UL rate adjustment set as the target rate for rate
decrease:
The target rate must be smaller than but the closest to the current rate. Meanwhile it must be greater than or equal to the GBR
Page104

Page106
Rate Adjustment Based on Downlink Congestion
When a cell is in the basic congestion state in the downlink, the rate of the selected RAB is decrease to the GBR if a BE rate decrease is triggered. The rate decrease level can only be 3_Rates:
If the current rate is equal to the MBR, the current rate is decreased to the DL middle rate threshold
If the current rate is higher than the GBR but lower than the MBR, the current rate is decreased to the GBR

Page109
Rate Increase Failure and Penalty
When the cell is in the basic congestion state, the rates lower than the GBR can be increased. Whether rate increase can succeed depends on whether the required resources are sufficient
A rate increase failure may be due to lack of Iub resources, lack of cell resources, NodeB exception, UE exception, or other causes. If rate increase failures occur frequently, rate increase attempts have to be prevented for a period of time

CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH
UE state transition from CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH is applicable to BE services in the PS domain
UE state transition from CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH is similar to UE state transition from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH
Page130
CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH (Cont.)
The CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH transition threshold is the rounded-down value obtained according to the following formula:
CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH transition threshold = [CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH transition time/(Time to trigger + Pending time after trigger) x State transition traffic redundancy coefficient]

CELL_PCH to URA_PCH
Before the state transition, the state of the UE is CELL_PCH. During the cell reselection, the UE sends the CELL UPDATE
messages. The RNC starts a timer (CellReSelectTimer) and

counts the number of CELL UPDATE messages with the cause value of cell reselection. When the timer expires, the number of CELL UPDATE messages may be above the threshold (CellReSelectCounter). In this case, the RNC initiates a state transition when the UE sends the CELL UPDATE message again

7. Service Release Due to the Absence of Data
7.1 Always Online 7.2 Fast Dormancy
Page146
Always Online
When the RNC detects that there is no data transmission for a PS service, the RNC sends a request to the CN for
release of the service. The CN initiates the release

procedure, requesting the RNC to release the corresponding radio resources
The CN, however, reserves the PDP context for this PS

service of the UE. When the UE re-initiates the service of this PDP context, it need not apply for the PDP context
again. Thus, the UE in the PS domain is always online

Fast Dormancy
Fast dormancy which is introduced in in 3GPP Release 8 enables the fast release of RRC connection and enables the UE to quickly
enter into idle mode and save power. When a UE with only PS
services has no data to transmit, the UE notifies the RNC. After RNC receive the messages from the UE, RNC release the RRC connection. The function depends on the support of the UE
