Load Control exists in all phases
Load Control is used to keep system stable, maximize system capacity while
ensuring the coverage and QoS.

Different load control algorithms according to different phases provided:
a) Before UE access: Potential User Control (PUC)
b) During UE access: Call Admission Check (CAC) and Intelligent Access Control (IAC)
c) After UE access: Load Reshuffling (LDR), and Overload Control (OLC)
3. After UE access 2. During UE access 1. Before UE access

PUC: Potential User Control
CAC: Call Admission Control
IAC: Intelligent Admission Control
LDR: Load Reshuffling
OLC: Overload Control
PUC (Potential User Control ) Features:
a) The function of PUC is to balance traffic load among inter-frequency cells.
b) By modifying cell selection and reselection parameters and broadcasting them through system
information, PUC leads UEs to cells with light load.
c) The UEs may be in idle mode, CELL_FACH state, CELL_PCH state, or URA_PCH state.

Potential User Control Procedure
The PUC algorithm controls the cell selection of a potential UE and prevents an idle UE
from camping on a heavy load cell.

Potentioal User Control Threshold
Notes: PUC can take effect only in downlink.
Cell load comes with three levels: heavy, normal, and light.
a) When cell load is higher than the load level division upper threshold plus the
load level division hysteresis, it is decided to be heavy.
b) When cell load is lower than the load level lower threshold plus the load level
division hysteresis, it is decided to be light.

Action of Potential User Control
Based on the cell load, PUC works as follows:
a) If the cell load becomes heavy, (Sintersearch dispara essa medida automtica
- cris) PUC modifies cell selection and reselection parameters and broadcasts
them through system information(SIB3 and SIB11). In this way, PUC leads
UEs to neighboring cells with light load.
b) If the cell load becomes normal, PUC uses the cell selection and reselection
parameters configured on the LMT.
c) If the cell load becomes light, PUC modifies cell selection and reselection
parameters and broadcasts them through system information. In this way,
PUC leads UEs to this cell.
The NodeB periodically reports the total TCP of the cell and the
PUC periodically triggers the following activities:
a) Assessing the cell load level based on the total TCP;
b) Configuring Sintersearch, Qoffset1(s,n), and Qoffset2(s,n) based on the cell
load level;
c) Updating the parameters of system messages SIB3 and SIB11.

PUC Adjustment Principle

R

R
n
= Q
meas
,
n
- Qoffset
s,n
+ Qoffmbms - TO

* (1 L
n
)


4. Cell Reselection Criteria:
a) Qoffmbms is only applied to those cells (serving
or neighbouring) belonging to the MBMS;
b) TO is only applicable if the usage of HCS is
indicated in system information.
1. Based on the characteristics of inter-frequency cell selection and reselection.
Sintersearch:
a) When this value is increased by the serving cell, the UE starts inter-frequency cell
reselection ahead of schedule.
b) When this value is decreased by the serving cell, the UE delays inter-frequency cell
reselection.
The UE will start inter-frequency cell reselection when Squal is less than Sintersearch.
Squal=Qqualmeas-Qqualmin(-18dBm)<= Sintersearch (default value=5 - cris).
2. Qoffset1(s,n): applies to R (reselection) rule with CPICH RSCP
a) When this value is increased by the serving cell, the UE has a lower probability of selecting
a neighboring cell.
The offset is subtracted from the neighboring cell measurement value before cell reselection.
b) When this value is decreased by the serving cell, the UE has a higher probability of
selecting a neighboring cell.
3. Qoffset2(s,n): applies to R (reselection) rule with CPICH Ec/I0

Change of Sintersearch Parameter
according to the Load state
The configuration of Sintersearch affects the current cell. Its
value is related to the load of the current cell.
Notes: The PUC command is ADD CELLPUC.

Change of Qoffset1 and Qoffset2 according to the Load
state
1) The configuration
of Qoffset1 and
Qoffset2 affects the
neighbour cell.
2) Its value are related
to the load of the
current cell and the
neighboring cells.
Notes: The
prerequisite for the
changes of the
parameters is that
these parameters take
their default values.
