2 Overview of Call Admission Control
2 Overview of Call Admission Control

Call Admission Control (CAC) is used to determine whether the system resources in a cell are sufficient
to accept a resource request. If the system resources are sufficient, the resource request is accepted;
otherwise, the resource request is rejected.
A radio link sends a resource request to the CAC functional module when additional resources are
required, in cases such as radio resource control (RRC) connection setup, new service setup, change of
existing services, soft handover, and cell change. Upon receiving a resource request, the CAC functional
module determines whether the request can be accepted by measuring the cell load and the requested
resources. For details about measuring the cell load, see the Load Control Feature Parameter
Description.
The admission decision performed using CAC is based on the following resources: code resources,
power resources, NodeB credit resources, and Iub resources. In the case of an HSPA resource request,
the admission decision is also based on the number of HSPA users. The admission succeeds only when
the resources on which CAC is based are available.
With CAC, an overloaded cell can accept resource requests for an RRC connection setup only in the
case of emergency calls, detachments, or registrations. This is because the priority of such requests is
high. This helps maintain system stability when cells are overloaded. In addition, admitting or rejecting
users over FACH or enhanced FACH channels (HS-DSCH) in an overloaded cell can be specified by
setting FACH_UU_ADCTRL of the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter.

3 Technical Description
3.1 Overview
3.1.1 Admission Resource and Basic Procedure
A radio link sends a resource request to the CAC functional module when additional resources are
required. On receipt of the resource request, the CAC functional module performs the admission
decision based on the following resources:
Available cell code resources
Available cell power resources
NodeB credit resources, which are used to measure the channel demodulation capability of NodeBs
Available Iub transmission bandwidth
Number of HSDPA users (only for HSDPA services)
Number of HSUPA users (only for HSUPA services)
A call can be admitted only when all of these resources are available.
Code resource-based and Iub resource-based admission control are mandatory and cannot be disabled.
For HSDPA/HSUPA services, admission control based on the number of HSUPA/HSDPA users is also
mandatory. Other admission control policies are enabled or disabled by running the MOD
UCELLALGOSWITCH or SET UCACALGOSWITCH command.
Figure 3-1 shows the basic procedure for a resource-based admission decision.

3.1.2 HSDPA Admission Control

HSDPA admission control (WRFD-01061003 HSDPA Admission Control) enables the HSDPA service
along with other R99 services to access the network by using the remaining power resources and other
resources. Admission control based on the number of HSDPA users is also considered.
Iub resource admission for HSDPA users is also performed during admission control to grant HSDPA
services and other R99 services the access to resources to ensure a certain QoS.
HSDPA admission control is described in this document, along with R99 admission control.
3.1.3 HSUPA Admission Control

HSUPA admission control (WRFD-01061202 HSUPA Admission Control) enables HSUPA services along
with other R99 services to access the network by using the remaining uplink cell load and other
resources. Admission based on the number of HSUPA users is also considered.
Iub resource admission and NodeB credit resources for HSUPA users are also performed during
admission control to grant HSUPA service and other R99 services the access to resources to ensure a
certain QoS.

3-2
WCDMA RAN
HSUPA admission control is described in this document, along with R99 admission control.
3.2 CAC Based on Code Resources

Code resource-based admission is mandatory when a non-HSDPA service attempts to access the
network.
The reserved code resources are shared by all HSDPA services and therefore code resource-based admission control for
HSDPA services is not required. For details about code allocation for HSDPA services, see the HSDPA Feature Parameter
Description.
In code resource-based admission, the admission criteria vary with the service request.
RRC Connection Setup Requests

For an RRC connection setup request, code resource-based admission is implemented as follows:
If the RRCCeCodeCacChoice parameter is set to LOOSE_CAC, code resource-based admission

succeeds if the remaining code resources are sufficient for setting up an RRC connection.
If the RRCCeCodeCacChoice parameter is set to STRICT_CAC, the RNC implements code

resource-based admission based on the cause carried in the RRC connection setup request:
If
the cause is "Emergency Call" or "Detach", code resource-based admission succeeds if the
remaining code resources are sufficient.
For
any other cause, the RNC must ensure that the remaining codes (the remaining minimum SF of
the current cell) do not exceed the reserved minimum spreading factor (SF) for an RRC connection
upon admitting an RRC connection setup request. The reserved minimum SF is specified by the
DlRRCCeCodeResvSf parameter.
Handover Service Requests

For handover service requests, code resource-based admission succeeds if the remaining code
resources are sufficient for the service to be admitted.
PS Service/CS Service (Non-AMR Service) Requests

For PS services/CS service (non-AMR service) requests, the RNC must ensure that the remaining codes
(the remaining minimum SF of the current cell) upon admitting a new service do not exceed the
threshold which is specified by the DlHoCeCodeResvSf parameter.
AMR Service Requests

For AMR service requests,
If the CSRABCacOptSwitch parameter is set to OFF, the RNC must ensure that the remaining codes
(the remaining minimum SF of the current cell) upon admitting a new service do not exceed the
threshold specified by the DlHoCeCodeResvSf parameter.
If the CSRABCacOptSwitch parameter is set to ON, code resource-based admission succeeds if the
remaining code resources are sufficient for the service to be admitted.
3.3 CAC Based on Power Resources

3.3.1 Overview
Power-based admission is used for RRC connection setup requests and radio access bearer (RAB)
admission. The power-based admission algorithm is enabled or disabled by the
NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch/NBMDlCacAlgoSelSwitch parameter.

3-3
WCDMA RAN
To enable power-based admission control for HSDPA or HSUPA services, select HSDPA_UU_ADCTRL or
HSUPA_UU_ADCTRL under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter.
CAC based on power resources is performed by using one of the following four algorithms:
Algorithm 1 (ALGORITHM_FIRST): admission control based on the cell power load and the expected
load increase caused by a new service
Depending on the current cell power load, the RNC determines whether the cell load will exceed the
threshold upon admitting the new service. If the cell load exceeds the threshold, the RNC rejects the
access request. Otherwise, the RNC admits the service.
Algorithm 2 (ALGORITHM_SECOND): admission control based on the equivalent number of users

(ENU)
Depending on the current ENU load and the access request, the RNC determines whether the ENU
will exceed the threshold upon admitting the new service. If the ENU exceeds the threshold, the RNC
rejects the access request. Otherwise, the RNC admits the service.
Algorithm 3 (ALGORITHM_THIRD): admission control without considering load increase caused by a

new service
This algorithm assumes that the load increase caused by the new service is 0. Based on the current
cell power load, the RNC determines whether the cell load will exceed the threshold. If the cell load
exceeds the threshold, the RNC rejects the access request. Otherwise, the RNC admits the service.
Algorithm 4 (ALGORITHM_FOURTH): admission control based on the uplink actual power load and
the expected load increase caused by a new service.
Depending on the current uplink actual power load, the RNC determines whether the cell load will
exceed the threshold after admitting the new service. If the cell load exceeds the threshold, the RNC
rejects the access request. Otherwise, the RNC accepts the service.
Algorithm 4 applies only to admission control in the uplink. Admission control in the downlink can use only algorithm 1, 2,
or 3.
Figure 3-2 shows the basic procedure for a power-based admission decision.

3-4
WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-2 Basic procedure for a power-based admission decision
The basic principles for a power-based admission decision are as follows:
For an intra-frequency handover request, only a downlink admission decision is required.
For a non-intra-frequency handover request, both uplink and downlink decisions are required.
If there is a rate downsizing request, the RNC accepts it directly. For a rate upsizing request, both
uplink and downlink admission control are required.
3.3.2 Power-based Admission Control on RRC Connection Setup

Requests
The RNC performs loose or strict admission control on RRC connection setup requests. The
RRCCacChoice parameter specifies whether to use loose or strict admission control.
Admission control is performed on RRC connection setup requests the same way as it is performed on
RAB setup requests, except that the admission thresholds are different. This section only describes the
admission thresholds for RRC connection setup requests in loose and strict admission control. For
details about admission control for RAB setup, see section 3.3.3 "Power-based Admission Algorithm 1
for RAB Setup."
If load increase is considered when the RNC performs admission control on an RRC connection setup request, the RNC
calculates the load increase based on the signaling radio bearer (SRB) rate of the RRC connection setup request. The
SRB rate of an RRC connection setup request is set by running the SET URRCESTCAUSE command.
Loose Admission Control

If an RRC connection setup request comes from emergency calls, detachments, or registrations, the
RRC connection is set up directly.

3-5
WCDMA RAN
If an RRC connection setup request comes from other services, admission control is performed as
follows:
When UL_UU_OLC or DL_UU_OLC under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter is set to 1,

If
the cell is overloaded, the RRC connection setup request is rejected.
If
the cell is not overloaded, the uplink or downlink OLC triggering threshold (UlOlcTrigThd or
DlOlcTrigThd) is used for admission control.
When UL_UU_OLC or DL_UU_OLC is set to 0, the uplink or downlink OLC triggering threshold
(UlOlcTrigThd or DlOlcTrigThd) is used for admission control.
For details about the state of an overloaded cell and overload control (OLC), see the Load Control
Feature Parameter Description.
Strict Admission Control

If an RRC connection setup request comes from emergency calls or detachments, the RRC connection
is set up directly.
If an RRC connection setup request comes from other services, the RNC determines the admission
threshold based on one of the following request causes:
RRC connection setup requests of real-time services
RRC connection setup requests of non-real-time services
RRC connection setup requests of other services (excluding real-time services, non-real-time services,
emergency calls, and detachments)
The RNC determines the admission threshold using the following formulas:
Admission threshold for RRC of real-time services = Admission threshold offset for RRC of real-time
services(RTRRCCacThdOffset) + UlNonCtrlThdForAMR (for the uplink) or DlConvAMRThd (for the
downlink)
Admission threshold for RRC of non-real-time services = Admission threshold offset for RRC of
non-real-time services (NRTRRCCacThdOffset) + UlNonCtrlThdForOther (for the uplink) or
DlOtherThd (for the downlink)
Admission threshold for RRC of other services = Admission threshold offset for RRC of other services
(OtherRRCCacThdOffset) + UlOlcTrigThd (for the uplink) or DlOlcTrigThd (for the downlink)
3.3.3 Power-based Admission Algorithm 1 for RAB Setup

There are two types of power-based admission decisions based on algorithm 1: uplink and downlink.
The RNC performs admission control on services based on cell load. The measurement quantities
relevant to cell load are processed and reported by the load measurement module of the RNC. For
details about how measurement quantities relevant to cell load are measured and reported, see the
section of load measurements in the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
Uplink Power-based Admission Decisions for R99 Cells Based on Algorithm 1

In an R99 cell, uplink power-based admission decisions are made according to the RTWP-based total
uplink load. The RTWP-based total uplink load is calculated in real time by the load measurement
module of the RNC. It is represented by UL,R99-Total and calculated using the following formula:
UL,R99-Total = 1 PN/RTWP + UL,CCH
Where

3-6
WCDMA RAN
PN is the received uplink background noise. It is set by the BackgroundNoise parameter. If the
auto-adaptive background noise update algorithm is enabled, PN is updated in real time. For details
about the auto-adaptive background noise update algorithm, see the Load Control Feature Parameter
Description.
RTWP is the received total wideband power in the uplink. It is measured by the NodeB and reported to
the RNC periodically.
UL,CCH is the reserved load on the uplink common channels. It is set by the UlCCHLoadFactor
parameter.
Upon receiving a service access request, the RNC makes the uplink power-based admission decision
for an R99 service. The procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC calculates the uplink load increase (UL) based on the initial admission rate of the service.
For details about the initial admission rate, see the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
2. If the sum of the RTWP-based total uplink load (UL,R99-Total) and the load increase caused by the new
service (UL) is lower than or equal to the corresponding admission threshold
(UlNonCtrlThdForAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or
UlNonCtrlThdForHo), the RNC admits the service. Otherwise, the RNC performs the next step.
If the CSRABCacOptSwitch parameter is set to ON, the RNC uses the following admission threshold for AMR service
setup, reconfiguration, or handover requests to increase the access success rate of AMR services:
When the OLC algorithm switch (UL_UU_OLC under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned on, the uplink OLC
triggering threshold (UlOlcTrigThd) is used as the admission threshold.
When the OLC algorithm switch (UL_UU_OLC under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned off, the admission
threshold is 100%.
3. The RNC checks whether the control RTWP anti-interference function switch
(RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned on. If it is turned
on, the RNC checks whether the total uplink load of ENU on the cell is lower than
CellUlEquNumCapacity. If it is lower than CellUlEquNumCapacity, the RNC admits the service.
Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request. For details about the total uplink load of ENU on the
cell, see section 3.3.4 "Power-based Admission Algorithm 2 for RAB Setup."
Uplink Power-based Admission Decisions for HSPA Cells Based on Algorithm

1
In an HSPA cell, uplink power-based admission decisions are made based on the following load
measurements:
The RTWP-based total uplink load, which is calculated in real time by the load measurement module
of the RNC. It is represented by UL,HSUPA-Total and calculated using the following formula:
UL,HSUPA-Total = 1 PN/RTWP + UL,CCH + HS-DPCCH
Where HS-DPCCH is the reserved load for the uplink HS-DPCCH. It is set by the
UlHsDpcchRsvdFactor parameter. The other variables are defined the same way as for an R99 cell
in "Uplink Power-based Admission Decisions for R99 Cells Based on Algorithm 1."
The uncontrollable uplink load, which is the load factor for the receive power of a cell excluding the
receive power used for scheduling services. It is represented by UL,NonCtrl and calculated using the
following formula:
UL,NonCtrl = UL,HSUPA-Total UL,Ctrl

3-7
WCDMA RAN
Where UL,Ctrl is the controllable uplink load and equals the received scheduled E-DCH power share
(RSEPS). RSEPS is the ratio of the receive power of all scheduled users to RTWP in the current cell.
RSEPS is measured by the NodeB and periodically reported to the RNC.
The total uplink load for preferential admission of R99 services, which is represented by UL,R99Prefer-Total.
When the guaranteed bit rate (GBR) for HSUPA services is too high, the RTWP-based total uplink load
may also be too high, and therefore R99 service admission is difficult. In this case, UL,R99Prefer-Total
ensures that R99 services are preferentially admitted. It is calculated using the following formula:
UL,R99Prefer-Total = UL,NonCtrl + ThdHSUPAMaxGBP + UL,CCH + HS-DPCCH
Where ThdHSUPAMaxGBP is the maximum guaranteed load threshold for HSUPA services when the RNC
makes an admission decision on an R99 service. It is set by the HsupaMaxGBPThd parameter.
If the periodic measurement switch of the total receive power used for scheduling services on the E-DCH is turned off
(HSUPA_EDCH_RSEPS_MEAS under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is set to 0), the RNC performs admission
control for the cell based on ENU. For details about ENU-based admission control, see section 3.3.4 "Power-based
Admission Algorithm 2 for RAB Setup."
Upon receiving a service access request, the RNC performs the uplink power-based admission decision.
The procedure is as follows:
2. The RNC determines whether to admit the service. If service admission succeeds, the RNC admits
the service. If service admission fails, the RNC performs the next step. Note that the admission
criteria vary with the bearer type in an HSPA cell, which is described in follow-up sections.
3. The RNC checks whether the control RTWP anti-interference function switch
(RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned on. If it is turned
on, the RNC checks whether the total uplink load of ENU on the cell is lower than
CellUlEquNumCapacity. If it is lower than CellUlEquNumCapacity, the RNC admits the service.
Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request. For details about the total uplink load of ENU on the
cell, see section 3.3.4 "Power-based Admission Algorithm 2 for RAB Setup."
The admission criteria for different bearer types in an HSPA cell are as follows:
For the DCH RAB
If the bearer type is the DCH RAB, a service is admitted only when the following criteria are both met:
The sum of the uncontrollable uplink load (UL,NonCtrl) and the load increase caused by the new service
(UL) is lower than or equal to the corresponding admission threshold (UlNonCtrlThdForAMR,
UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or UlNonCtrlThdForHo).
The sum of the RTWP-based total uplink load (UL,HSUPA-Total) and the load increase caused by the new
service (UL), or the sum of the total uplink load for preferential admission of R99 services
(UL,R99Prefer-Total) and the load increase caused by the new service (UL), is lower than or equal to
UlCellTotalThd.

3-8
WCDMA RAN
threshold is 100%.
For the HSUPA RAB

If the bearer type is the HSUPA RAB, the CAC algorithm combines the PBR-based admission decision
with the load-based admission decision. The RNC admits an HSUPA service if either PBR-based
admission or load-based admission succeeds.
IMS signaling services carried on HSUPA RABs are admitted directly.
PBR-based admission decisions

The uplink provided bit rate (PBR) is the effective uplink throughput on all UEs corresponding to a
scheduling priority indicator (SPI) successfully received by the NodeB. PBR is reported by the NodeB
to the RNC periodically.
The RNC performs PBR-based admission control only when the HSUPA PBR measurement switch is
turned on (HSUPA_PBR_MEAS under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is set to 1). If the sum of
PBRs of some UEs is larger than the sum of their GBRs multiplied by a certain factor, the RNC
decides that the QoS requirements of the cell are met. In this case, the RNC can admit new services.
PBR-based service admission succeeds if any of the following criteria are met:
Where
ThdL
is the PBR threshold (HsupaLowPriorityUserPBRThd) for all HSUPA users whose

scheduling priorities are lower than the priority of users to be admitted.
ThdE
is the PBR threshold (HsupaEqualPriorityUserPBRThd) for all HSUPA users whose

scheduling priorities are equal to the priority of users to be admitted.
ThdGE
is the PBR threshold (HsupaHighPriorityUserPBRThd) for all HSUPA users whose

scheduling priorities are higher than the priority of users to be admitted.
Load-based admission decisions

For HSUPA scheduling services, if the sum of the RTWP-based total uplink load (UL,HSUPA-Total) and
the load increase caused by the new service (UL) is lower than or equal to UlCellTotalThd,
load-based service admission succeeds. Otherwise, load-based service admission fails.
For HSUPA non-scheduling services, load-based service admission succeeds only when both of the
following criteria are met:
sum of the RTWP-based total uplink load (UL,HSUPA-Total) and the load increase caused by the
new service (UL) is lower than or equal to UlCellTotalThd.
The
The
sum of the uncontrollable uplink load (UL,NonCtrl) and the load increase caused by the new

WCDMA RAN
(UlNonCtrlThdForAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or

UlNonCtrlThdForHo).
Otherwise, load-based service admission fails.
threshold is 100%.
For the DC-HSUPA RAB

Only load-based admission decisions are made for DC-HSUPA RABs.
For DC-HSUPA non-scheduling services, load-based admission decisions are made only on the
primary carrier. The admission method is the same as that for common HSUPA non-scheduling
services.
A DC-HSUPA scheduling service is admitted if the load-based admission decision is successful on the
primary or secondary carrier. The admission decision method is the same as that for a common
HSUPA scheduling service. That is, the sum of the RTWP-based total uplink load (UL,HSUPA-Total) and
the load increase after admitting the DC-HSUPA scheduling service (UL) is lower than or equal to
UlCellTotalThd on the primary or secondary carrier.
Downlink Power-based Admission Decisions for R99 Cells Based on

Algorithm 1
In an R99 cell, downlink power-based admission decisions are made according to the TCP-based total
downlink load, which is calculated in real time by the load measurement module of the RNC. It is
represented by DL,R99-Total and calculated using the following formula:
DL,R99-Total = TCP + DL,CCH
Where
TCP is equal to the transmitted carrier power (TCP), which is the ratio of the total transmitted power on
one downlink carrier to the maximum transmission power (set by the MaxTxPower parameter).
DL,CCH is the reserved load on the downlink common channels. It is set by the DlCCHLoadRsrvCoeff
parameter.
Upon receiving a service access request, the RNC makes the downlink power-based admission decision
for an R99 service. The procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC calculates the downlink load increase (DL) based on the initial admission rate of the
service and the pilot signal quality the user receives.
2. If the TCP-based total downlink load (DL,R99-Total) is lower than or equal to the corresponding
admission threshold (DlConvAMRThd, DlConvNonAMRThd, DlOtherThd, or DlHOThd), the RNC
admits the service. Otherwise, the RNC rejects the service.

3-10
WCDMA RAN
When the OLC algorithm switch (DL_UU_OLC under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned on, the downlink
OLC triggering threshold (DlOlcTrigThd) is used as the admission threshold.
When the OLC algorithm switch (DL_UU_OLC under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned off, the admission
threshold is 100%.
Downlink Power-based Admission Decisions for HSPA Cells Based on

Algorithm 1
In an HSPA cell, downlink power-based admission decisions are made based on the following load
measurements:
TCP-based total downlink load, which is represented by DL,HSDPA-Total and calculated using the
following formula:
DL,HSDPA-Total = TCP + DL,CCH + DL,HSUPARes
Where DL,HSUPARes is the power load reserved for HSUPA downlink control channels
(E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-HICH). It is set by the DlHSUPARsvdFactor parameter. The other variables are
defined the same way as for an R99 cell in "Downlink Power-based Admission Decisions for R99 Cells
Based on Algorithm 1."
Downlink non-HSPA power load, which is represented by DL,NonHSPA. It is the ratio of the total
transmitted power of the codes not used for HS-PDSCH/HS-SCCH/E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-HICH
transmission on one downlink carrier to the maximum transmission power (set by the MaxTxPower
parameter). DL,NonHSPA is measured by the NodeB and periodically reported to the RNC.
Load of HSDPA power requirement for GBR (HSDPA GBP), which is represented by DL,GBP and
calculated based on the GBR of HSDPA users in the cell. The NodeB periodically reports DL,GBP to the
RNC.
HSDPA GBP-based total downlink load, which is represented by DL,GBP-Total and calculated using the
following formula:
DL,GBP-Total = DL,NonHSPA + min (DL,GBP + DL,HSUPARes, DL,MaxHSPA) + DL,CCH

Where DL,MaxHSPA is the threshold for the maximum available HSDPA power. It is calculated based on
the HspaPower parameter.
The total downlink load for preferential admission of R99 services, which is represented by
DL,R99Prefer-Total. When the GBR for HSDPA services is too high, the HSDPA GBP-based total downlink
load may also be too high, and therefore R99 service admission is difficult. In this case, DL,R99Prefer-Total
DL,R99Prefer-Total = DL,NonHSPA + ThdHSDPAMaxGBP + DL,HSUPARes + DL,CCH

Where ThdHSDPAMaxGBP is the maximum guaranteed load threshold for HSDPA services when the RNC
makes an admission decision on an R99 service. It is set by the HsdpaMaxGBPThd parameter.
Upon receiving a service access request, the RNC performs the downlink power-based admission
decision. The procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC calculates the downlink load increase (DL) based on the initial admission rate of the
service and the pilot signal quality the user receives.
2. The RNC determines whether to admit the service. The admission criteria vary with the bearer type in
an HSPA cell.
The admission criteria for different bearer types in an HSPA cell are as follows:

3-11
WCDMA RAN
For the DCH RAB

If the bearer type is the DCH RAB, a service is admitted only when the following criteria are both met:
1. The sum of the downlink non-HSPA power load (DL,NonHSPA) and the load increase caused by the
new service (DL) is lower than or equal to the corresponding admission threshold
(DlConvAMRThd, DlConvNonAMRThd, DlOtherThd, or DlHOThd).
2. The sum of the TCP-based total downlink load (DL,HSDPA-Total) and the load increase caused by the
new service (DL), the sum of the total downlink load based on the guaranteed power for HSDPA
services (DL,GBP-Total) and the load increase caused by the new service (DL), or the sum of the total
downlink load for preferential admission of R99 services (DL,R99Prefer-Total) and the load increase
caused by the new service (DL) is lower than or equal to the threshold for the total downlink power
of the cell (DlCellTotalThd). Otherwise, the RNC rejects the service.
threshold is 100%.
If the current cell supports DC-HSDPA, the current total power of the DC-HSDPA cell group must also be
lower than the sum of the total downlink power threshold of the primary cell and that of the secondary
cell for DCH RAB admission.
For the HSDPA RAB
If the bearer type is the HSDPA RAB, the CAC algorithm combines the PBR-based admission control
with the load-based admission control. The RNC admits an HSDPA service if either PBR-based
admission or load-based admission succeeds.
PBR-based admission decisions

The downlink PBR is the effective downlink throughput on all UEs corresponding to an SPI
successfully sent by the NodeB. PBR is reported by the NodeB to the RNC periodically.
The RNC performs PBR-based admission control only when the HSDPA PBR measurement switch is
turned on (HSDPA_PBR_MEAS under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter is set to 1). If the sum of
PBRs of some UEs is larger than the sum of their GBRs multiplied by a certain factor, the RNC
decides that the QoS requirements of the cell are met. In this case, the RNC can admit new services.
PBR-based service admission succeeds if equation a (for streaming services) or equation b (for BE
services) is satisfied:
a.
b.
Where
PBRstrm
is the provided bit rate of all existing streaming services.
Thdhsdpa-str
is the admission threshold of the PBR-based decision for streaming services

(HsdpaStrmPBRThd).
PBRbe
is the provided bit rate of all existing BE services.

3-12
WCDMA RAN
Thdhsdpa-be
is the admission threshold of the PBR-based decision for BE services

(HsdpaBePBRThd).
Load-based admission decisions

Load-based service admission succeeds only when both of the following criteria are met:
The
sum of the HSDPA GBP load (DL,GBP) and the load increase caused by the new service (DL) is
lower than or equal to the threshold for the maximum available HSDPA power, which is equal to 110
(-HspaPower/10)
.
The
sum of the TCP-based total downlink load (DL,HSDPA-Total) and the load increase caused by the
new service (DL), or the sum of the HSDPA GBP-based total downlink load (DL,GBP-Total) and the
load increase caused by the new service (DL) is lower than or equal to the threshold for the total
downlink power of the cell (DlCellTotalThd).
Otherwise, load-based service admission fails.
threshold is 100%.
If the current cell supports DC-HSDPA, the total power of the DC-HSDPA cell group must be lower than
the sum of the downlink total power threshold of the primary cell and that of the secondary cell for
HSDPA RAB admission.
Conversational services in the PS domain carried on HSPA RABs can be considered as streaming services in admission
control.
For the DC-HSDPA RAB

If the bearer type is the DC-HSDPA RAB, admission control is based on the power of the DC-HSDPA cell
group because the RAB is set up on both carriers.
The RNC admits DC-HSDPA RABs in the following situations:
PBR-based service admission in the DC-HSDPA cell group succeeds. PBR-based admission control
in the DC-HSDPA cell group is similar to that in the SC-HSDPA cell. The difference between them is
that users selected during an admission decision are DC-HSDPA users in the DC-HSDPA cell group,
not SC-HSDPA users.
Load-based service admission in the DC-HSDPA cell group succeeds. This means that the total
downlink load factor of the DC-HSDPA cell group is lower than the sum of the total downlink load
threshold of the primary cell and that of the secondary cell.
For HSUPA Control Channels

The power for downlink control channels (E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-HICH) is specified by the
DlHSUPARsvdFactor parameter. Therefore, power-based admission control is not required on these
channels.
For MBMS
For details about MBMS, see the MBMS Feature Parameter Description.

3-13
WCDMA RAN

There are two types of power-based admission decisions based on algorithm 2: uplink and downlink.
The ENU of MBMS downlink control channels (MICH and MCCH) is reserved. Therefore, power-based
admission is not performed on these channels.
The ENU of HSUPA downlink control channels (E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and E-HICH) is reserved by
DlHSUPARsvdFactor. Therefore, power-based admission is not performed on these channels.
Equivalent Number of Users

When the activation factor is 100%, a 12.2 kbit/s AMR service is defined as one ENU. The following
aspects are considered when the ENU is calculated:
Cell type (a typical urban cell or a suburban cell)
Traffic QoS, which is the Block Error Rate (BLER)
Target number of retransmissions
The activity factor of the traffic type, which can be set with the SET UADMCTRL command.
Table 3-1 describes the ENU references for some services in typical scenarios. Configurations in typical
scenarios are as follows:

Uplink ENU Resource Admission Decisions

In the uplink, ENU-based admission decisions are made based on the following load measurements:
Uplink total ENU load, which is represented by UL,ENU and calculated using the following formula:
UL,ENU = ENUUL,Total/ENUUL,Max + UL,CCH

Where
ENUUL,Total is the sum of ENUs corresponding to the RABs in a cell.
ENUUL,Max is the maximum ENU of a cell. It is set by the UlTotalEqUserNum parameter.
parameter.
The total uplink load of ENU for preferential admission of R99 services, which is represented by
UL,R99Prefer-ENU. When the GBR for HSUPA services is too high, the total uplink load of ENU may also
be too high, and therefore R99 service admission is difficult. In this case, UL,R99Prefer-ENU ensures that
R99 services are preferentially admitted. It is calculated using the following formula:
UL,R99Prefer-ENU = UL,DCH_ENU + Thd HSUPAMaxGBP
Where
UL,DCH_ENU is the ENU load of all DCH RABs in a cell. It is the ratio of the sum of ENUs for all DCH
RABs to the maximum ENU in a cell (UlTotalEqUserNum).

3-15
WCDMA RAN
Where
ThdHSUPAMaxGBP is the maximum guaranteed load threshold for HSUPA services when the
RNC makes an admission decision on an R99 service. It is set by the HsupaMaxGBPThd
parameter.
Upon receiving a service access request, the RNC makes the uplink ENU-based admission decision.
If a cell is in the OLC state triggered by the RTWP:
The system checks whether the uplink total ENU load (UL,ENU) of the cell is lower than
CellUlEquNumCapacity if the control RTWP anti-interference function switch
(RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter) is turned on. If it is lower than
CellUlEquNumCapacity, the RNC admits the service. Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access
request.
The RNC rejects the access request if the control RTWP anti-interference function is disabled.
If a cell is not in the OLC state, the RNC makes the uplink ENU-based admission decision. The
procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC estimates the ENU load (UL,ENU) based on the initial admission rate of the service.
2. The RNC determines whether to admit the service.
If
the bearer type is the DCH RAB, the RNC admits a service when the sum of the uplink total ENU
load (UL,ENU) and the ENU load increase caused by the new service (UL,ENU) is lower than or equal
to the corresponding admission threshold (UlNonCtrlThdForAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR,
UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or UlNonCtrlThdForHo), or when the sum of the total uplink ENU load for
preferential admission of R99 services (UL,R99Prefer-ENU) and the ENU load increase caused by the
new service (UL,ENU) is lower than or equal to UlCellTotalThd. Otherwise, the RNC rejects the
access request.
If
the bearer type is the HSUPA RAB, the RNC admits a service only when the sum of the uplink total
ENU load (UL,ENU) and the ENU load increase caused by the new service (UL,ENU) is lower than or
equal to the corresponding admission threshold (UlNonCtrlThdForAMR,
UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or UlNonCtrlThdForHo). Otherwise, the
RNC rejects the access request.
threshold is 100%.
For DC-HSUPA RABs

DC-HSUPA RABs are admitted only to the primary carrier. Admission control for DC-HSUPA RABs is
the same as that for common HSUPA RABs.
The ENU corresponding to the DC-HSUPA RABs is counted into the ENU load of the primary carrier.
Downlink ENU Resource Admission Decisions

In the downlink, ENU-based admission decisions are made based on the following load measurements:
Downlink total ENU load, which is represented by DL,ENU and calculated using the following formula:
DL,ENU = ENUDL,Total/ENUDL,Max + DL,CCH

Where
ENUDL,Total is the sum of ENUs corresponding to the RABs in a cell.

3-16
WCDMA RAN
ENUDL,Max
is the maximum ENU of a cell. It is set by the DlTotalEqUserNum parameter.
DL,CCH
is the reserved load on the downlink common channels. It is set by the

DlCCHLoadRsrvCoeff parameter.
The total downlink load for preferential admission of R99 services, which is represented by
DL,R99Prefer-ENU. When the GBR for HSDPA services is too high, the HSDPA GBP-based total downlink
load may also be too high, and therefore R99 service admission is difficult. In this case, DL,R99Prefer-ENU
DL,R99Prefer-ENU = DL,DCH_ENU + ThdHSDPAMaxGBP

Where
DL,DCH_ENU is the ENU load of all DCH RABs in a cell. It is the ratio of the sum of ENUs for all DCH
RABs to the maximum ENU in a cell (DlTotalEqUserNum).
ThdHSDPAMaxGBP
is the maximum guaranteed load threshold for HSDPA services when the RNC
makes an admission decision on an R99 service. It is set by the HsdpaMaxGBPThd parameter.
Upon receiving a service access request, the RNC makes the downlink ENU-based admission decision.
For non-DC-HSDPA RABs

The RNC estimates the ENU load (DL,ENU) of the service based on the initial admission rate, and
then makes the ENU-based admission decision.
DCH RABs, if the sum of the downlink total ENU load (DL,ENU) and the ENU load increase
caused by the new service (DL,ENU) is lower than or equal to the corresponding admission threshold
(DlConvAMRThd, DlConvNonAMRThd, DlOtherThd or DlHOThd), or if the sum of the total
downlink load for preferential admission of R99 services (DL,R99Prefer-ENU) and the ENU load increase
caused by the new service (DL,ENU) is lower than or equal to DlCellTotalThd, the RNC admits the
service. Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request.
For
HSDPA RABs, if the sum of the downlink total ENU load (DL,ENU) and the ENU load increase
caused by the new service (DL,ENU) is lower than or equal to the corresponding admission threshold
(DlConvAMRThd, DlConvNonAMRThd, DlOtherThd or DlHOThd), the RNC admits the service.
Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request.
For
threshold is 100%.
For DC-HSDPA RABs

The admission succeeds when the total ENU of the DC-HSDPA cell group divided by the maximum
ENU of the DC-HSDPA cell group is lower than the sum of admission thresholds of the primary cell
and that of the secondary cell.

Algorithm 3 is similar to algorithm 1. The only difference is that the estimated load increase in algorithm 3
is always set to 0.
Based on the current cell load, the RNC determines whether the cell load exceeds the threshold, with the
estimated load increase set to 0. If the cell load exceeds the threshold, the RNC rejects the access
request. If not, the RNC admits the service.

WCDMA RAN
3.3.6 Uplink Power-Based Admission Algorithm 4 for RAB Setup

Algorithm 4 makes admission decisions based on the total uplink load UL, Actual-Total that corresponds to
the actual uplink service load. UL, Actual-Total is calculated using the following formula:
UL, Actual-Total = UL, Actual + UL,CCH
Where
UL, Actual is the actual uplink service load. It considers RTWP measurement results and the minimum
guaranteed actual service load of a cell. The minimum guaranteed actual service load includes R99
channel load, HSUPA control channel load, and HSUPA traffic channel load guaranteeing GBR. The
NodeB measures the minimum guaranteed actual service load and reports to the RNC periodically
over a proprietary interface. GBR is calculated as follows:
If
the function uplink enhanced L2 is disabled, GBR = max (bit rate of one RLC PDU, GBR).
If
the function uplink enhanced L2 is enabled, GBR = max (bit rate of one smallest RLC PDU, GBR).
parameter.
If the measurement on the actual uplink service load for a cell is unavailable, for example, when the relevant NodeB
boards cannot report the measurement results, the RNC performs admission control for the cell based on ENU. For
details about ENU-based admission control, see section 3.3.4 "Power-based Admission Algorithm 2 for RAB Setup."
Upon receiving a service access request, the RNC makes the admission decision based on the total
uplink load that corresponds to the actual uplink service load. The procedure is as follows:
For details about the initial admission rate, see the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
2. If the sum of the total uplink load UL, Actual-Total that corresponds to the actual uplink service load and
the load increase caused by the new service (UL) is lower than or equal to the corresponding
access threshold (UlNonCtrlThdForAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or
UlNonCtrlThdForHo), the RNC admits the service. Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request.
threshold is 100%.
The total uplink load that corresponds to the actual uplink service load depends on reporting of the
measurement on the actual uplink service load for a cell. However, not all NodeB boards support such a
measurement. Therefore, algorithm 4 has the following requirements for NodeBs:
NodeB software must be RAN14.0 or a later version.
For the BTS3812E, BTS3812A, and BTS3812AE, the EBBI, EBOI, EDLP, EULP, or EULPd board
must be configured, and the HBBI, HDLP, or HULP board must not be configured.
For the BBU3900, the WBBPb or WBBPd board must be configured, and the WBBPa board must not
be configured.
The DBS3800 and 20W RRU3801 does not support algorithm 4.

When the feature of independent demodulation of signals from multiple RRUs in one cell is configured,
this cell does not support algorithm 4.

WCDMA RAN
3.4 CAC Based on NodeB Credit Resources

NodeB credit resource-based admission is optional for admission control. This admission mode takes
effect only when NODEB_CREDIT_CAC_SWITCH under the CacSwitch parameter and
CRD_ADCTRL under the NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter are selected.
3.4.1 NodeB Credit Resources

The NodeB credit resource is a concept on the RNC side. It is referred to as the channel element (CE)
on the NodeB side.
CEs are used to measure the channel demodulation capability of NodeBs. CEs are classified into uplink
and downlink CEs.
One uplink CE needs to be consumed by an uplink 12.2 kbit/s voice service (SF = 64) plus 3.4 kbit/s
signaling traffic.
One downlink CE needs to be consumed by a downlink 12.2 kbit/s voice service (SF = 128) plus 3.4
kbit/s signaling traffic.
If only 3.4 kbit/s signaling traffic is carried on a DCH or HSPA channel, one CE is still needed. CEs have
been reserved for common and HSDPA-related channels. For details about CEs and CE consumption of
different types of service, see the CE Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.
NodeB credit resource-based admission is implemented at NodeB level, local cell group (LCG) level (if
any), and local cell (LC) level. Cells in an LCG share the CEs of the LCG in the uplink. The NodeB sends
the RNC an audit response message, reporting the CE capability of the three levels. The NodeB
considers physical and licensed CEs when reporting the CE capability to the RNC.
The NodeB-level CEs are the licensed CEs supported by the NodeB.
In the uplink, the number of LCG-level CEs are the smaller one between the number of LCG-level
physical CEs and the number of NodeB-level licensed CEs. In the downlink, the number of LCG-level
CEs are the sum of downlink CEs on all boards of the LCG.
In the uplink, the LC-level CEs are the physical CEs of the uplink resource group to which the cell
belongs. In the downlink, the LC-level CEs are the physical CEs of the baseband processing board to
which the cell belongs.
The relationship between NodeB credit resources and CEs is as follows:
In the uplink, the quantity of NodeB credit resources is twice that of CEs.
In the downlink, the quantity of NodeB credit resources equals that of CEs.
The RNC calculates the remaining NodeB credit resources based on the reported CE capability,
relationship between NodeB credit resources and CEs, and the CE consumption rule. The RNC
implements admission control based on the calculation result. Uplink and downlink CEs are independent
from each other. Therefore, NodeB credit resource-based admission is implemented separately in the
uplink and downlink.
3.4.2 NodeB Credit Resource-based Admission Decisions

In NodeB credit resource-based admission, the admission criteria vary with the service request.
NodeB credit resource-based admission is not required for common and HSDPA-related channels because CEs have
been reserved for these channels.

3-19
WCDMA RAN
RRC Connection Setup Requests

For an RRC connection setup request, NodeB credit resource-based admission is implemented as
follows:
If the RRCCeCodeCacChoice parameter is set to LOOSE_CAC, NodeB credit resource-based

admission succeeds if the available credit resources of the local cell, local cell group (if any), and
NodeB are sufficient for setting up an RRC connection.
If the RRCCeCodeCacChoice parameter is set to STRICT_CAC, the RNC implements NodeB credit
resource-based admission based on the cause carried in the RRC connection setup request:
If
the cause is "Emergency Call" or "Detach", NodeB credit resource-based admission succeeds if
the available credit resources are sufficient.
For
any other cause, the RNC must ensure that the available credit resources of the local cell, local
cell group (if any), and NodeB exceed the reserved credit resources upon admitting an RRC
connection setup request. The reserved credit resources are calculated using SF which is specified
by the parameter DlRRCCeCodeResvSf (for the downlink) or UlRRCCeResvSf (for the uplink).
Handover Service Requests

For a handover service request, NodeB credit resource-based admission succeeds if the available credit
resources of the local cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB are sufficient for the service to be
admitted.
PS Service/CS Service (Non-AMR Service) Requests

For PS or CS service (non-AMR service) requests, the RNC must ensure that the available credit
resources of the local cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB exceed the reserved credit resources
upon admitting a new service. The reserved credit resources are calculated using SF which is specified
by the UlHoCeResvSf (for the uplink) or DlHoCeCodeResvSf (for the downlink) parameter.
AMR Service Requests

For AMR service requests,
If the CSRABCacOptSwitch parameter is set to ON, the credit resource-based admission is

successful if the current available credit resources of the local cell, local cell group (if any) and NodeB
are sufficient for the service.
If the CSRABCacOptSwitch parameter is set to OFF, the RNC has to ensure that the current
available credit of the local cell, local cell group (if any) and NodeB exceeds the reserved credit after
admitting a new service. The reserved credit is calculated through SF which is determined by the
UlHoCeResvSf (for the uplink) or DlHoCeCodeResvSf (for the downlink) parameter.
3.5 CAC Based on Iub Resources

Iub resource-based admission control is mandatory when a new service attempts to access the network.
For details about resource-based admission at the transport layer over the Iub interface, see the
Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.
3.6 CAC Based on the Number of HSPA Users

3.6.1 CAC for HSDPA Users
HSDPA admission control is based on the number of HSDPA users.
When a new HSDPA service attempts to access the network, the algorithm admits the service if the
following conditions are met:

3-20
WCDMA RAN
The number of HSDPA users in the cell does not exceed the maximum value specified by the
MaxHsdpaUserNum parameter.
The number of HSDPA users in the cell does not exceed the licensed number of users.
The number of HSDPA users in NodeB does not exceed the maximum value specified by the
NodeBHsdpaMaxUserNum parameter.
Otherwise, the HSDPA service performs Directed Retry Decision (DRD) to access one of the cells that
support blind handovers. If none of these cells can be accessed, the HSDPA service is degraded to an
R99 service and then attempts to access a cell. For details about DRD, see the Directed Retry Decision
3.6.2 CAC for HSUPA Users

HSUPA admission control is based on the number of HSUPA users.
When a new HSUPA service attempts to access the network, the algorithm admits the service if the
following conditions are met:
The number of HSUPA users in the cell does not exceed the maximum value specified by the
MaxHsupaUserNum parameter.
The number of HSDPA users in the cell does not exceed the licensed number of users.
The number of HSUPA users in NodeB does not exceed the maximum value specified by the
NodeBHsupaMaxUserNum parameter.
Otherwise, the HSUPA service performs Directed Retry Decision (DRD) to access one of the cells that
support blind handovers. If none of these cells can be accessed, the HSUPA service is degraded to an
R99 service and then attempts to access a cell. For details about DRD, see the Directed Retry Decision

UlNonCtrlThdF BSC6900
orAMR
ADD
Meaning: 1. The percentage of the conversational AMR
UCELLCA service threshold to the 100% uplink load. The parameter is
C
used for controlling the AMR service admission. That is, when
an AMR service is accessing, the BSC6900 evalutates the
MOD
UCELLCA measurement value of the uplink load after the service is
accessed. If the UL load of a cell is higher than this threshold
C
after the access of an AMR speech service, this service will be
rejected. If the UL load of a cell will not be higher than this
threshold, this service will be admitted. The UL load factor
thresholds include parameters of [UL threshold of Conv AMR
service], [UL threshold of Conv non_AMR service], [UL
handover access threshold] and [UL threshold of other
services]. The four parameters can be used to limit the
proportion between the conversational service, handover user
and other services in a specific cell, and to guarantee the
access priority of the conversational AMR service. If the value
is too high the system load after admission may be over large,
which impacts system stability and leads to system congetion.
If the value is too low, the possibility of user rejects may
increase, resulting in waste in idle resources.
2. When the Uplink CAC algorithm switch is set to
ALGORITHM_FOURTH, the Recommended Value should be
changed to 83.
