1.4 Differences Between Base Station Types

The features described in this document apply only to macro base stations.

SingleRAN
Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Definition
Co-TRM refers to the common management of transmission resources when the IP
transmission bandwidth is shared by the GSM and UMTS services of the Multimode Base
Station. Co-TRM improves the usage of transmission resources and ensures the transmission
quality of services (QoS).
In the Co-TRM feature,
l The GSM and UMTS services of the Multimode Base Station share one IP logical port
(LP) if the IP over FE/GE is adopted
l The GSM and UMTS services of the Multimode Base Station share the PPP link/MLPPP
group if the IP over E1/T1 is adopted.
MBSC uniformly implement load control and traffic shaping in the shared IP LPs, PPP links,
or MLPPP group.
2.2 Networking Requirements

The Co-TRM networking must meet the following requirements:
l The GSM+UMTS dual-mode controllers and the GSM+UMTS dual-mode base stations
are deployed.
l The GSM+UMTS dual-mode base stations share IP transmission resources over the Abis
and Iub interfaces.
For details about the common transmission networking, see the Common Transmission
Feature Parameter Description.
2.3 Benefits
The bandwidth resources are shared by the GSM and UMTS services between the MBSC and
the Multimode Base Station in resource pool manner. The uniform management of the
bandwidth resources provides the following benefits:

SingleRAN
Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
In case of a burst of GSM and UMTS services on the Multimode Base Station, the required
transmission bandwidth increases abruptly. In such a case, the MBSC performs the control
and therefore effectively reduces the possibility of congestion.
For the bandwidth allocated to the GSM and UMTS services on the same Multimode Base
Station, the MBSC uses appropriate allocation policies to increase the usage of the
transmission bandwidth.
2.4 Feature Contents

The main contents of the Co-TRM feature are as follows:
l Transmission resources: In Co-TRM, the transmission resources, including IP LPs and IP
physical resources, are shared by the Abis and Iub interfaces. For details, see chapter 3
"3 Transmission Resources."
l Load control: Common load control is implemented within the IP LPs/PPP links/MLPPP
groups on the Abis and Iub interfaces. As the QoS is ensured, more users are admitted.
For details, see chapter 4 "4 Load Control."

SingleRAN
Feature Parameter Description 3 Transmission Resources
3 Transmission Resources
IP transmission resources include IP path resources, IP Logical Port (LP) resources, and
physical transmission resources. In the case of Co-TRM, the Abis and Iub interfaces share IP
LPs/PPP links/MLPPP groups, and IP LPs/PPP links/MLPPP groups share IP physical
transmission resources. Figure 3-1 shows examples of all types of transmission resources and
the relations between the resources.

3.1 IP Physical Transmission Resources

The IP physical transmission resources are as follows:
l FE/GE Ethernet port

l GE Ethernet port
l Channelized STM-1/OC-3 port

3.2 IP LP Resources
IP LPs are used to configure bandwidth for transmission nodes and perform bandwidth-based
admission and traffic shaping to prevent congestion. Co-TRM allows the services on the Abis
and Iub interfaces to share the bandwidth within a logical port, thereby implementing
common admission control and traffic shaping. For details about IP LPs, see the
Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description of the WCDMA RAN
and the GSM BSS.
NOTE
In Co-TRM, IP LPs support five levels of aggregation.
3.3 IP Path Resources

In Co-TRM, GSM IP paths and WCDMA IP paths are independent of each other. They are
not described in this document. For details about IP path resources, see the Transmission
Resource Management Feature Parameter Description of the WCDMA RAN and the GSM
BSS.

SingleRAN
Feature Parameter Description 4 Load Control
4 Load Control
The load control algorithm manages the transmission bandwidth and controls the transmission
load. As the QoS is ensured, more users are admitted. This document focuses on the common
load control performed within the IP LPs/PPP links/MLPPP groups on the Abis and Iub
interfaces.
Load control applies to the admission process based on transmission resources. With the
change of transmission bandwidth, different load control functions are used. Load control
involves admission control, congestion control, and overload control.
4.1 Common Load Thresholds

In the admission process based on transmission resources, load and threshold are compared to
determine whether the admission is successful. Transmission load and admission threshold are
compared to determine whether the admission of a new user is successful; transmission load
and congestion control threshold are compared to trigger the congestion control process;
transmission load and overload control threshold are compared to trigger the overload control
process. The common load control of IP LPs/PPP links/MLPPP groups is based on common
load thresholds.
l Common handover reserved threshold (common admission control of a new user)
l Common congestion control thresholds
l Common overload control thresholds
For details about admission control thresholds, congestion control thresholds, and overload
control thresholds, see sections "4.2 Admission Control" and "4.3 Congestion Control
and Overload Control."
A load threshold index list can be configured for a group of LPs/PPP links/MLPPP groups
through the ADD TRMLOADTH command.
4.2 Admission Control

Admission control is used to determine whether the transmission resources are sufficient to
accept the admission request from a user. If the transmission resources are sufficient, the
admission request is admitted; otherwise, the request is rejected.
Figure 4-1 shows the admission control during the request for transmission resources.

SingleRAN
Figure 4-1 Admission control during the request for transmission resources
As shown in Figure 4-1, when the users request transmission resources, the admission control
process is as follows:
1. The admission of transmission resources is decided. If the admission is successful, a user
can obtain transmission resources. If the admission fails, go to 2. For details about
admission decision, see section "4.2.1 Admission Decision."
2. The attempt to preempt resources is made. If the preemption is successful, a user can
obtain transmission resources. If the preemption fails or the preemption function is not
supported, go to 3. For details about preemption, see section "4.2.2 Preemption."
3. The attempt for queuing is made. If the queuing is successful, a user can obtain
transmission resources. If the queuing fails or the queuing function is not supported, the
admission based on transmission resources fails. For details about queuing, see 4.2.3
Queuing.
4.2.1 Admission Decision

MBSC provides a common handover reserved threshold. When the transmission bandwidth
exceeds the threshold, the threshold-based admission of the newly accessed GSM and UMTS
user is prohibited. This avoids the situation that the handover cannot be performed and the
call quality of the accessed users is affected because the transmission resources are exhausted.
When the transmission bandwidth exceeds the threshold and there is bandwidth available for
the transmission, the GSM and UMTS handover users can still perform the threshold-based
admission.

SingleRAN
4.2.2 Preemption
In the case of preemption, a high-priority user preempts the bandwidth from an admitted low-
priority user for admission of transmission resources.
If the admission based on IP LP/PPP link/MLPPP group resources fails, the GSM and
WCDMA networks trigger the preemption function separately when the following conditions
are met:
l The user who requests transmission resources supports preemption as defined in the user
request.
l The preemption function is enabled. The preemption switches of the GSM and WCDMA
networks are set separately.
– In the GSM network, the preemption function is enabled through the
ENPREEMPTTRANSADMT (BSC6900, BSC6910) parameter.
– In the WCDMA network, the preemption function is enabled through the
PreemptAlgoSwitch parameter.
The preemption function works separately in the GSM and WCDMA networks. That is, a
high-priority GSM user preempts only a low-priority GSM user, and a high-priority WCDMA
user preempts only a low-priority WCDMA user.
The Co-TRM feature inherits the preemption function from the original GSM and WCDMA
features. They are not described in this document. For details about preemption, see the
and the GSM BSS.
4.2.3 Queuing
In the queuing function, the user that requests transmission resources in the GSM or
WCDMA network is put in a separate queue to wait for free transmission resources.
If the user that requests transmission resources does not support the preemption function or
the preemption function fails, the GSM and WCDMA networks trigger the queuing function
separately when the following conditions are met:
l The user that requests transmission resources supports queuing as defined in the user
request.
l The queuing function is enabled. The queuing switches of the GSM and WCDMA
networks are set separately.
– In the GSM network, the queuing function is enabled through the
ENQUETRANSADMT (BSC6900, BSC6910) parameter.
– In the WCDMA network, the queuing function is enabled through the
QueueAlgoSwitch parameter.
The Co-TRM feature inherits the queuing function from the original GSM and WCDMA
features. They are not described in this document. For details about queuing, see the
and the GSM BSS.

SingleRAN
4.3 Congestion Control and Overload Control

Congestion control is used to prevent overload, reduce the transmission load, and increase the
access success rate. Overload control is used to quickly eliminate overload when transmission
overload occurs, and to reduce the adverse impact on high-priority users.
In Co-TRM, IP LPs/PPP links/MLPPP groups implement common congestion detection and

overload detection and define common congestion control thresholds.
This section describes the congestion control and overload control of IP LP/PPP link/MLPPP
group resources. The congestion control and overload control include:
l Congestion detection
l Overload detection
l Congestion and overload handling
4.3.1 Congestion Detection

The Co-TRM feature defines the common congestion control thresholds, based on which IP
LPs/PPP links/MLPPP groups implement common congestion detection.
The congestion control thresholds are as follows:
l Congestion remain threshold: When the usage of transmission resources exceeds the
congestion remain threshold, the system considers that congestion occurs.
l Congestion clear remain threshold: When the usage of transmission resources falls below
the congestion clear remain threshold, the system considers that congestion is cleared.
For parameters associated with the congestion detection thresholds, see section "4.1 Common
Load Thresholds."
4.3.2 Overload Detection

The Co-TRM feature defines common overload control thresholds, based on which IP
LPs/PPP links/MLPPP groups implement common overload detection.
The overload control thresholds are as follows:
l Overload remain threshold: When the usage of transmission resources exceeds the
overload remain threshold, the system considers that overload occurs.
l Overload clear remain threshold: When the usage of transmission resources falls below
the overload clear remain threshold, the system considers that overload is cleared.
For parameters associated with the overload detection thresholds, see section "4.1 Common
Load Thresholds."
4.3.3 Congestion and Overload Handling

When transmission resource congestion occurs, congestion control is started. During the
congestion control, the bandwidth requested by new GSM users and the bandwidth occupied
by the admitted GSM and WCDMA users are reduced. When transmission resource
congestion is cleared, congestion control is stopped.

SingleRAN
When transmission resource overload occurs, overload control is started. During the overload
control, the admission of GSM and WCDMA users is prohibited and the bandwidth occupied
by low-priority users is released. When overload is cleared, overload control is stopped.
When the bandwidth is released, GSM and WCDMA networks reserve bandwidth according
to the configured proportion and also release the occupied bandwidth. If the bandwidth in one
network cannot be released and overload is not cleared, the bandwidth in the other network is
released. The bandwidth reservation proportion of the GSM and WCDMA networks is
specified by the GSMBWRATE parameter.
In Co-TRM, congestion and overload of the GSM and WCDMA networks are handled
separately. The Co-TRM feature inherits the congestion and overload handling methods from
the original GSM and WCDMA features. They are not described in this document. For details
about congestion and overload handling, see the Transmission Resource Management
Feature Parameter Description of the WCDMA RAN and the GSM BSS.

7 Engineering Guidelines
The requirements for co-transmission networking at the MBSC are as follows:

l GSM+UMTS dual-mode base station controllers and GSM+UMTS dual-mode base
stations are deployed.
l GSM+UMTS multi-mode base stations share IP LP/PPP/MLPPP transmission resources
over the Abis and Iub interfaces.
In Co-TRM networking, the GSM and UMTS services share LP resources. It is recommended
that the GSM and UMTS services use a common LP. The principles of configuring bandwidth
for an LP are as follows:
l If an LP is carried on an Ethernet port (ETHER), the bandwidth of the LP should be
lower than or equal to that of ETHER. Assume that the bandwidth of ETHER could be 5
Mbit/s. Then, the bandwidth of the LP could be 4 Mbit/s.
l If an LP is carried on the PPP link, the bandwidth of the LP should be lower than or
equal to that of PPP link.
l If an LP is carried on the MLPPP link, the bandwidth of the LP should be lower than or
equal to that of MLPPP link.
