Rate reallocation herein is based on the traffic volume measurement. After comparing the measurement results with associated thresholds, the RNC can trigger rate reallocation. The traffic volume measurements defined in 3GPP TS 25.331 are applicable only to the uplink. Regarding the downlink traffic volume measurements and associated rate reallocation, the design and implementation are Huawei specific.

Event Reporting
Traffic volume measurement triggering can be associated with both the time-to-trigger and the pending time after trigger
Time-to-trigger is used to get time domain hysteresis, that is, the condition must be fulfilled during the time-to-trigger period before a report is sent. Pending time after trigger is used to limit consecutive reports when one traffic volume measurement report has already been sent.

Event Reporting
Event 4a triggered by an increase in the transport channel traffic volume
Page9
In the uplink: When the traffic volume is higher than the value of Traffic Measurement Event 4A threshold for a period of time defined by Time to trigger 4A, the UE reports an event 4a. No more events 4a are reported during the time defined by Pending time after trigger 4A. In the downlink: When the traffic volume is higher than the value of Traffic Measurement Event 4A threshold for a period of time defined by Time to trigger 4A, the RNC reports internally an event 4a. No more events 4a are reported during the time defined by Pending time after trigger 4A.

Event Reporting
Event 4b triggered by a decrease in the transport channel traffic volume
Page10
In the uplink: When the traffic volume is lower than the value of Traffic Measurement Event 4B threshold for a period of time defined by Time to trigger 4B, the UE reports an event 4b. No more events 4b are reported during the time defined by Pending time after trigger 4B. In the downlink: When the traffic volume is lower than the value of Traffic Measurement Event 4B threshold for a period of time defined by Time to trigger 4B, the RNC reports internally an event 4b. No more events 4b are reported during the time defined by Pending time after trigger 4B.

Throughput Measurement
In each measurement period (E-DCH Throu Meas Period for E-DCH service, DCH Throu Meas Period for DCH service), the MAC-d takes statistics of the data volume properly received by this RB. The result is then divided by the measurement period to obtain the throughput value.
Page42
E-DCH and DCH BE services rate reallocation is based on the throughput measurement results. After comparing the measurement results with associated thresholds, the RNC can trigger rate reallocation.
Course Name
N-43
Event
Event 4a
Throughput is above a threshold -> High active
Event 4b
Throughput is below a threshold -> Low active
Page43
For throughput-based rate reallocation on the E-DCH, both events 4a and 4b apply, that is, both rate upsizing and downsizing are applicable for both uplink and downlink. For throughput-based rate reallocation on the DCH, only event 4b applies, that is, only rate downsizing is applicable.

Event Reporting
Mechanism of throughput measurement and reporting of events 4a and 4b
Page44
During each measurement period (E-DCH Throu Meas Period, DCH Throu Meas Period), throughput measurement on this RB is performed to obtain the throughput of this period, defined as AvgThroughput. If the AvgThroughput is higher than the 4a threshold for Ttrig_4a consecutive times (Period Amount to trigger 4A on EDCH) and the Tpend_4a timer whose length is defined through Period Amount after trigger 4A on EDCH is not started, event 4a is reported and the Tpend_4a timer is started. If the AvgThroughput is lower than the 4b threshold for Ttrig_4b consecutive times (Period Amount to trigger 4B on EDCH or Period Amount to trigger 4B on DCH) and the Tpend_4b timer whose length is defined through Period Amount after trigger 4B on EDCH or Period Amount after trigger 4B on DCH is not started, event 4b is reported and the Tpend_4b timer is started.

N-45
Event Threshold
In the aspect of DCCC for HSUPA
The 4a threshold is the throughput threshold associated with the current HSUPA adjustment rate, that is, TRt.
TRt = Rt * threshold rate ratiot
The 4b threshold is the throughput threshold associated with the previous rate, that is, TRt1.
TRt1 = Rt1 * threshold rate ratiot1
Page45
If the current HSUPA adjustment rate is the minimum rate, the 4b rate threshold is the threshold rate of E-DCH to FACH state transition (E-DCH to FACH 4b Threshold). Where: Rt is the current rate in the rate adjustment set Rt-1 is the previous rate in the rate adjustment set. Threshold rate ratiot and Threshold rate ratiot-1 are defined by the parameter percent of ratio for nKbps (n = 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 144, 256, 384).

Event Threshold
In the aspect of DCCC for DCH services,
The 4b threshold is calculated as follows:
TRt1 = Rt1 * threshold rate ratiot1
Page46
Where: Rt-1 is the previous rate in the rate adjustment set. Threshold rate ratiot-1 is defined by the parameter percent of ratio for nKbps (n = 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 144, 256, 384).

Each time a block is received, the number of error blocks within the sliding window is compared with the Event 5A Threshold parameter. If the number of error blocks is equal to or greater than the value of the parameter, an event 5A is triggered. When event 5A is triggered, a pending counter is started to prevent further triggering of the event before a certain number of transport blocks which is specified by Interval Block Number are received. The whole process is based on the sliding window mechanism. This window slides with the arrival of each block. Each time a block is received, the decision on whether to trigger event 5A is made. The number of error blocks is still counted when the pending timer after trigger timer works. However, no event 5A is triggered even if the triggering conditions are met.

UE State Transition
UE state transition and status of the RRC connection
Page107
The above figure shows the RRC states in UTRA RRC connected mode, including transitions between UTRA RRC connected mode and GSM connected mode for CS domain services and transitions between UTRA RRC connected mode and GSM/GPRS packet modes for PS domain services. It also shows the transitions between idle mode and UTRA RRC connected mode, and the transitions within UTRA RRC connected mode. Only the state transitions within the UTRAN connected mode is described herein. The principles of UE state transition are as follows: The state of the UE transits from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH or from CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH if the activity of UE decreases. The state of the UE transits from CELL_PCH/URA_PCH to CELL_FACH or from CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH if the activity of UE increases.

When the RNC receives the 4b event report, the CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH transition timer and the uplink and downlink 4b counters are started on the RNC side. If both uplink and downlink 4b counters of traffic volume event 4b report are greater than or equal to a CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH transition threshold before the timer expires, the UE state transits from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH when the timer expires.

Instead, if both uplink and downlink 4b counters of traffic volume event 4b report are greater than or equal to a CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH transition threshold when the CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH transition timer expires, the UE is reconfigured to the low-activity rate that is defined through the Low activity bit rate threshold parameter. However, if the value of Low activity bit rate threshold is greater than or equal to that of Uplink/Downlink bit rate threshold for DCCC, the reconfiguration to Low activity bit rate threshold is prohibited.

If there is no data transmission for a PS service of a UE, the connection for the service is released, but the CN reserves the Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context of the PS service for the UE. When the UE reinitiates the service of this PDP context, it does not have to apply for the PDP context again. Therefore, the PS UE is always online.
Page142
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, and requests the RNC to release the corresponding radio resources. However, the CN reserves the PDP context for the PS UE. When the UE reinitiates the service of this PDP context, it does not have to apply for the PDP context again. Therefore, the PS UE is always online.

For each PS RAB, two PDCP timers are available. They are T1 and T2. T1 and T2 are RNC-oriented; they can be set differently for the conversational service, streaming service, interactive service, background service, and IMS signaling.
Page143
In RAN10.0, T1 and T2 are both set to 20 s for all the above services.

Process Description
For each PS RAB, two PDCP timers are available. They are T1 and T2 T1 and T2 are RNC-oriented; they can be set differently for the conversational service, streaming service, interactive service, background service, and IMS signaling.
Page144
When the PDCP entity of a service is set up, timer T1 is started. When timer T1 expires and the PDCP entity still detects no data packet either in UL or DL, the PDCP entity sends the request to the RRC layer for the service release and timer T2 is started. If the CN does not initiate the service release, and the PDCP still detects no UL or DL data packet when timer T2 expires, the PDCP entity sends the request again to the RRC layer for the service release. If there is only one RAB for the UE in the PS domain, the RNC sends an IU RELEASE REQUEST message to the CN. If there is more than one RAB for the UE in the PS domain, the RNC sends an RAB RELEASE REQUEST message to the CN. The release cause carried in both messages is "User Inactivity". When the CN receives the message, it initiates the release procedure.
