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 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 credits, 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
very 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
determined by setting the FACH_UU_ADCTRL subparameter 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 credits, 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 and Iub resource-based admission control are mandatory and cannot be disabled. Other
admission control strategies may be enabled or disabled with the ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH
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 remaining power resources and other
resources. Admission 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
service and other R99 services access to resources to ensure a certain QoS.
HSDPA admission control is described in this document, along with R99 service 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 access to resources to ensure a
certain QoS.
Issue 01 (2011-04-30)

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

Code resource-based admission is mandatory when a new service attempts to access the network.
Code resource-based admission is implemented as follows:
For RRC connection setup requests, code resource-based admission is successful if the current
remaining code resources are sufficient for RRC connection setup.
For handover services, code resource-based admission is successful if the current remaining code
resource is sufficient for the service.
For other R99 services, the RNC has to ensure that the remaining code does not exceed the
DlHoCeCodeResvSf parameter after admitting a new service.
For HSDPA services, the reserved codes are shared by all HSDPA services. Therefore, code
resource-based admission is not required.
For details about HSDPA code allocation, see the HSDPA Feature Parameter Description.
3.3 CAC Based on Power Resources

3.3.1 Overview
Power-based admission decisions are used for RRC connection setup requests and RAB admission
decisions.
The algorithm switches are set by the NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch or NBMDlCacAlgoSelSwitch.
To enable the power-based admission control for HSDPA and HSUPA services, the
HSDPA_UU_ADCTRL or HSUPA_UU_ADCTRL subparameter, respectively, must be set to 1.
CAC based on power resource is performed by using one of the following three algorithms:
Algorithm 1 (ALGORITHM_FIRST): admission decision based on the expected load increment after
admitting a new service
Depending on the current cell load (indicated by the uplink load factor and downlink TCP), the RNC
determines whether the cell load would exceed the threshold after admitting the new service. If the cell
load would exceed the threshold, the RNC rejects the access request. Otherwise, the RNC accepts
the access request.
Algorithm 2 (ALGORITHM_SECOND): admission decision based on the Equivalent Number of Users

(ENU)
Depending on the current ENU and the access request, the RNC determines whether the ENU would
exceed the threshold after admitting a new service. If the ENU would exceed the threshold, the RNC
rejects the request. Otherwise, the RNC accepts the request.
Algorithm 3 (ALGORITHM_THIRD): admission decision without considering load increment after

admitting a new service
This algorithm assumes that the load increment after admitting a new service is 0. Based on the
current cell load (indicated by the uplink load factor and downlink TCP), the RNC determines whether
the cell load would exceed the threshold after admitting the new service. If the cell load would exceed
the threshold, the RNC rejects the access request. Otherwise, the RNC accepts the access request.
Figure 3-2 shows the basic procedure for a power-based admission decision.
Issue 01 (2011-04-30)

3-3
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 if downlink
CAC is enabled.
For a non-intra-frequency handover request, both uplink and downlink decisions are required if both
uplink CAC and downlink CAC are enabled.
If there is a rate downsizing request, the RNC accepts it directly. For a rate upsizing request, the RNC
makes the decision, as shown in Figure 3-2.
3.3.2 Admission Decision for RRC Connection Setup Requests

For an RRC connection setup request due to emergency calls, detachments, or registrations, the
connections are set up directly.
For an RRC connection setup request for other reasons, the admission decision depends on the
following:
When power-based admission is based on power (algorithm 1 and algorithm 3), the UL or DL OLC
trigger threshold (UlOlcTrigThd or DlOlcTrigThd) is used.
When power-based admission is based on the ENU (algorithm 2), the admission decision is made as
follows:
When
UL_UU_OLC or DL_UU_OLC is set to 1, the RRC connection setup request is rejected if the
cell is in the overload state. If the cell is not in the overload state, the UL or DL OLC trigger threshold
is used for power-based admission.
When
UL_UU_OLC or DL_UU_OLC is set to 0, the UL or DL OLC trigger threshold is used for

power-based admission.

3.3.3 Power-Based Admission Algorithm 1 for RAB Setup

There are two types of power-based admission decision based on algorithm 1: uplink power-based
admission decision and downlink power-based admission decision.
Uplink Power-Based Admission Decision for R99 Cells Based on Algorithm 1

The following figure shows the criterion for the uplink power-based admission decision for R99 cells
based on algorithm 1.
Figure 3-3 The criterion of uplink power-based admission decision for R99 cells
The procedure for an uplink power-based admission decision is as follows:

1. The RNC obtains the uplink RTWP of the cell and the background noise and calculates the current
uplink load factor.
2. The RNC calculates the uplink load increment based on the service request.
3. The RNC predicts the uplink load factor according to the current uplink load factor and the uplink load
increment. Note that the predicted uplink load factor also includes the reserved common channel
load, which is specified by UlCCHLoadFactor.
4. By comparing the predicted uplink load factor UL,predicted with the corresponding threshold
(UlNonCtrlThdForHo,
UlNonCtrlThdForAMR,
UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR,
or
UlNonCtrlThdForOther), the RNC decides whether to accept the access request. If the access
request is accepted, the RNC processes the access request. If the access request is rejected, the
RNC performs the next step.
5. The RNC checks whether the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch (NBMCacAlgoSwitch:
RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB) is enabled. If it is enabled, the RNC checks whether the uplink
equivalent user load proportion of the cell is less than 40%. If it is less than 40%, the RNC accepts
the access request. Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request.
Issue 01 (2011-04-30)

3-5
WCDMA RAN
Uplink Power-Based Admission Decision for HSPA Cells Based on Algorithm 1

The procedure for an uplink power-based admission decision for HSPA cells is similar to that for R99
cells.
1. The RNC calculates the current uplink load factor based on the uplink RTWP of the cell.
After the Received Scheduled E-DCH Power Share (RSEPS) measurement is introduced, the UL
RTWP is divided into two parts:
The
controllable part, which is generated by the E-DCH scheduling service and calculated based on
the RSEPS. For details about the scheduling mode of services on HSUPA, see the Radio Bearers
Feature Parameter Description.
The
uncontrollable part, which is generated by the other services. The uncontrollable part is the
difference between the current uplink load factor and the controllable part.
2. The RNC calculates the uplink load increment based on the service request using Ec/N0 of the GBR
of the service, the neighboring interference factor, and the AF of the service.
3. The RNC determines whether to grant the UE admission.
In an HSPA cell, the admission conditions vary by service types.
For the DCH service, the sum of the uncontrollable part of the RTWP and the uplink load increment
must be lower than the corresponding threshold (UlNonCtrlThdForAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR,
UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or UlNonCtrlThdForHo). In addition, the total uplink load of the cell must be
lower than UlCellTotalThd. The method of calculating the total uplink load of the cell is as follows:
Sum
of the uplink load factor calculated on the basis of the RTWP and load increment
Sum
of the uncontrollable part of the RTWP and HsupaMaxGBPThd
For the HSUPA service, the CAC algorithm combines the PBR-based decision with the load-based
decision. The RNC admits HSUPA services after a PBR-based or load-based decision is made.
PBR-based
decision: This is used to check whether the QoS requirement of all existing users is met.
The QoS is measured on the basis of the Provided Bit Rate (PBR) of the users. If the QoS
requirement is met, new users are allowed to access the network.
Load-based
decision: For HSUPA scheduling services, the RNC must ensure that the total uplink
load factor is lower than UlCellTotalThd. For HSUPA non-scheduling services, the RNC must ensure
that the total uplink load factor is lower than UlCellTotalThd and the power of the uncontrollable part
is lower than the corresponding admission threshold.
In this step, if the access request is rejected, the RNC performs the next step.
4. The RNC checks whether the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch (NBMCacAlgoSwitch:
RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB) is enabled. If it is enabled, the RNC checks whether the uplink
equivalent user load proportion of the cell is less than 40%. If it is less than 40%, the RNC accepts
the access request. Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request.
IMS signaling services over HSUPA can be admitted directly.
In the above admission decision, the uplink load factor also includes the reserved common channel load, which is
specified by UlCCHLoadFactor.
For users in the uplink enhanced CELL_FACH state, the total users in uplink enhanced CELL_FACH state must also be
lower than the threshold MaxERACHUserNum.
Downlink Power-Based Admission Decision for R99 Cells Based on Algorithm

1
The downlink power-based admission decision for R99 cells is similar to that of the uplink decision. The
procedure is as follows:
Issue 01 (2011-04-30)

3-6
WCDMA RAN
1. The RNC calculates the current downlink load factor according to the downlink TCP and calculates
the downlink load increment based on the service request.
2. The RNC predicts the downlink load factor according to the current downlink load factor and the
downlink load increment. The predicted downlink load factor also includes the reserved common
channel load, which is specified by DlCCHLoadRsrvCoeff.
3. After comparing the downlink load factor with the corresponding threshold (DlConvAMRThd,
DlConvNonAMRThd, DlOtherThd, or DlHOThd), the RNC decides whether to accept the access
request.
Downlink Power-Based Admission Decision for HSPA Cells Based on

Algorithm 1
The procedure for a downlink power-based admission decision for HSPA cells is as follows:
1. The RNC calculates the downlink power increment for a new service request.
The
power increment estimation process for the DCH RAB in the HSPA cell is similar to that of the
DCH RAB in the R99 cell.
The
power increment estimation for HSDPA RAB is made on the basis of GBR, Ec/N0,
non-orthogonal factor, and so on.
2. The RNC determines whether to grant the UE admission.
Admission Decision for DCH RAB in the Downlink
When the admission of the DCH RAB is implemented, the RNC performs the following steps:
1. The RNC evaluates whether the ratio of the current non-HSPA power after the new RAB access to
the maximum transmit power of the cell is less than or equal to the cell downlink admission threshold
for a specific type of service. The threshold may be DlConvAMRThd, DlConvNonAMRThd,
DlOtherThd, or DlHOThd. If the condition is met, the RNC performs the next step. Otherwise, the
admission fails.
2. The RNC evaluates whether the ratio of the current downlink total power after the new RAB access to
the maximum transmit power of the cell is less than or equal to the threshold of the total downlink
power of the cell (DlCellTotalThd).
The
HSDPA power included in the current downlink total power can be set with HsdpaMaxGBPThd
or evaluated through the GBP and the maximum power available for HSPA services.
The
current downlink total power also includes all kinds of reserved power, for example, the power for
the common channel and for HSUPA downlink control channels.
If the condition above is met, the RNC admits the DCH RAB. Otherwise, the admission fails.
If the current cell supports DC-HSDPA, the current total power of the DC-HSDPA cell group must also be
less than the sum of the total downlink power threshold of the primary cell and that of the secondary cell.
Admission Decision for HSDPA RAB in the Downlink

When the admission of the HSDPA RAB is implemented, the PBR-based decision and load-based
decision are also performed. The RNC admits the UE when the criteria for either decision is fulfilled.
PBR-based
decision: The PBR of all existing services must greater than or equal to the admission
threshold HsdpaStrmPBRThd/HsdpaBePBRThd.
Load-based
decision: The total downlink load after the new RAB access must be less than or equal
to the threshold of the total downlink power of the cell (DlCellTotalThd). The total downlink load after
new RAB access can be calculated in one of the following ways:
a. The sum of the current TCP and the power increment for the new RAB
b. The sum of the current non-HSPA power and the GBP of all existing HSDPA services
Issue 01 (2011-04-30)

3-7
WCDMA RAN
The total downlink load also includes all reserved power types, for example, the power for the common channel and the
power for HSUPA downlink control channels.
If the current cell supports DC-HSDPA, the current total power of the DC-HSDPA cell group must also
be less than the sum of the total downlink power threshold of the primary cell and that of the secondary
cell.
PS conversational services carried on HSPA can be treated as streaming services during admission control.
Admission Decision for DC-HSDPA RAB in the Downlink

The admission of DC-HSDPA RABs 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
decision in DC-HSDPA cell group is successful. PBR-based decision in DC-HSDPA cell

group is similar to that in SC-HSDPA cell. The difference between them is that the users selected
during the decision are DC-HSDPA users in the DC-HSDPA cell group rather than SC-HSDPA users.
Load-based
decision in DC-HSDPA cell group is successful. This means that the total downlink load
factor of DC-HSDPA cell group is less than the sum of the total downlink load threshold of the primary
cell and that of the secondary cell.
Admission Decision for HSUPA Control Channels in the Downlink

The power for downlink control channels (E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-HICH) is determined by
DlHSUPARsvdFactor. Therefore, power-based admission is not required for these channels.
Downlink Power-Based Admission Decision for MBMS

For details, see the MBMS Feature Parameter Description.

There are two types of power-based admission decision based on algorithm 2: uplink power-based
admission decision and downlink power-based admission decision.
The ENU of MBMS downlink control channels (MICH and MCCH) is reserved. Therefore, the
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 these channels.
Equivalent Number of Users

The 12.2 kbit/s AMR traffic is defined as one ENU. Therefore, the 12.2 kbit/s AMR traffic can be used to
calculate the ENU of all other services. The calculation is based on the following factors:
Cell type (urban or suburban)
Traffic domain (CS or PS)
Coding type (turbo code or 1/2 1/3 convolutional code)
Traffic QoS, that is, the Block Error Rate (BLER)
The activity value of the traffic type, which can be set with the SET UADMCTRL command.
Procedure for Uplink ENU Resource Decision

Before the admission of the uplink ENU resource, if the uplink OLC algorithm switch (UL_UU_OLC) is
enabled and the cell is in the OLC state triggered by the RTWP, then:
Issue 01 (2011-04-30)

3-8
WCDMA RAN
The system checks whether the uplink equivalent user load proportion of the cell is less than 40% if
the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch (NBMCacAlgoSwitch:
RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB) is enabled. If it is less than 40%, the RNC accepts the access request.
Otherwise, the RNC performs an admission decision on the uplink ENU resource.
The RNC rejects the access request if the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch is disabled.
In the normal state, when the uplink ENU admission for a new RAB is implemented, the RNC calculates
the uplink ENU of the RAB, and then estimates whether the ratio of the total uplink ENU after the new
RAB access to the maximum ENU (UlTotalEqUserNum) is less than or equal to the cell uplink
admission threshold for a specific type of service. The threshold may be UlNonCtrlThdForAMR,
UlNonCtrlThdForNonAMR, UlNonCtrlThdForOther, or UlNonCtrlThdForHo. If the condition is met,
the RNC admits the access request.
For DCH users, the RNC can also admit the access request if the ratio of the total uplink ENU of all DCH
users after the new RAB access to the maximum ENU (UlTotalEqUserNum) is less than or equal to
difference between UlCellTotalThd and HsupaMaxGBPThd.
For users in uplink enhanced CELL_FACH state, only the total users in uplink enhanced CELL_FACH
state must be lower than the threshold MaxERACHUserNum.
Procedure for Downlink ENU Resource Decision
For non-DC-HSDPA RAB

If the current cell does not support DC-HSDPA, when the ENU admission of the RAB is implemented,
the RNC calculates the downlink ENU of an incoming RAB, and then estimates whether the ratio of the
total downlink ENU after the new RAB access to the maximum ENU (DlTotalEqUserNum) is less than
or equal to the cell downlink admission threshold of a specific type of service. The threshold may be
DlConvAMRThd, DlConvNonAMRThd, DlOtherThd, DlHOThd, or DlCellTotalThd. If the condition
is met, the RNC admits the access request.
For DCH users, the RNC can also admit the access request when the ratio of the total downlink ENU
of all DCH users after the new RAB access to the maximum ENU (DlTotalEqUserNum) is less than or
equal to difference between DlCellTotalThd and HsdpaMaxGBPThd.
For non-DC-HSDPA RABs, if the current cell supports DC-HSDPA, the sum of ENUs of the
DC-HSDPA cell group must also be less than the sum of the total uplink load threshold of the primary
cell and that of the secondary cell.
For DC-HSDPA RAB

The admission is successful when the total ENU divided by the maximum ENU is less than the sum of
admission thresholds of the two cells.

Algorithm 3 is similar to algorithm 1. The difference is that the estimated load increment in algorithm 3 is
always set to 0.
In accordance with the current cell load (uplink load factor and downlink TCP), the RNC determines
whether the cell load would exceed the threshold, with the estimated load increment set to 0. If the cell
load would exceed the threshold, the RNC rejects the request. If not, the RNC accepts the request.
3.4 CAC Based on NodeB Credit Resource

When a new service accesses the network, NodeB credit resource-based admission is optional.
Issue 01 (2011-04-30)

3-9
WCDMA RAN
3.4.1 NodeB Credit

The CE is used to measure the channel demodulation capability of the NodeBs. On the RNC side, it is
referred to as the NodeB credit. On the NodeB side, it is referred to as the Channel Element (CE).
The consumed NodeB resource of one equivalent 12.2 kbit/s AMR voice service, including 3.4 kbit/s
signaling on the Dedicated Control Channel (DCCH), is defined as one CE. If there is only 3.4 kbit/s
signaling on the DCCH, one CE is consumed.
There are two types of CEs. One is uplink CE, which supports uplink services, and the other is downlink
CE, which supports downlink services. One 12.2 kbit/s AMR voice service consumes one uplink CE and
one downlink CE.
There is no capacity consumption law for HS-DSCH in 3GPP TS 25.433. Therefore, certain credits are
reserved for HSDPA RABs, and credit admission for HSDPA is not required.
3.4.2 Procedure for Admission Decision Based on NodeB Credit

When a new service tries to access the network, the admission decision based on NodeB credit is
implemented as follows:
For an RRC connection setup request, 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 RRC
connection setup.
For a handover service, 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.
For other services, the RNC has to ensure that the available credit of the local cell, local cell group (if
any), and NodeB does not exceed the value of UlHoCeResvSf (for the uplink) or
DlHoCeCodeResvSf (for the downlink) after new services are granted admission.
The CE capabilities at the local cell, local cell group, and NodeB levels are reported to the RNC through the
NBAP_AUDIT_RSP message over the Iub interface.
- The CE capability at the local cell level indicates, in terms of hardware, the maximum capability that can be used in the
local cell.
- The CE capability at the local cell group level indicates the capability when the license and hardware are taken into
consideration.
- The CE capability at the NodeB level indicates the number of CEs that can be used, as specified in the license.
In the current product release, the UL Capacity Credit (CC) and DL CC are separate. So the credit
resource-based admission is implemented in the UL and DL, respectively.
3.5 CAC Based on Iub Resources

When a new service accesses the network, Iub resource-admission is mandatory.
For details about resource-based admission at the Iub transport layer, 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 services admission decisions are 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:

MOD UCELLCAC(Optional) used for dedicated channel and common
channel users. For common channel users,
resources instead of separate power
admission decision are reserved. For
dedicated channel users, according to the
current load factor and the characteristics of
the new call, the CAC algorithm predicts the
new TX power with the assumption of
admitting the new call, then plus with the
premeditated common channel DL load
factor to get the predicted DL load factor.
Then, compare it with the DL admission
threshold. If the value is not higher than the
