Call Admission Control 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 the 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. On receipt of the 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 by using CAC is based on the following resources: code resources,
power resources, NodeB credits, and Iub resources. In the case of 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.
By using CAC, an overloaded cell accepts only resources requests from an RRC connection setup only
in case of an emergency call, detach, or registration, because the priority of such requests is very high.
This helps maintain the system stability in the case of cell overload. Moreover, whether the admission for
users over FACH channels is permitted can be set through FACH_UU_ADCTRL subparameter of
NBMCacAlgoSwitch parameter.

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.
z Available cell code resource
z Available cell power resource
z NodeB credits, which are used to measure the channel demodulation capability of NodeBs
z Available Iub transmission bandwidth
z Number of HSDPA users (only for HSDPA services)
z Number of HSUPA users (only for HSUPA services)
Figure 3-1 shows the basic procedure of resource-based admission decision.
Figure 3-1 Basic procedure of resource-based admission decision

WCDMA RAN
3 Technical Description Call Admission Control
As shown in Figure 3-1, a call can be admitted only when all of these resources are available.
Code and Iub resource-based admission control are mandatory and can not be disabled. Other
admission control strategies may be enabled or disabled through the ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH
command.
3.1.2 HSDPA Admission Control

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

HSUPA admission control (WRFD-01061202 HSUPA Admission Control) enables HSUPA services to
access the network with other R99 services by using the remaining uplink cell load as well as other
resources. Admission based on the number of HSUPA users is also considered.
Iub resource admission and NodeB credit resource for HSUPA users are also performed during the
admission control to allow HSUPA service and other R99 services to be admitted under a certain
ensured QoS.
HSUPA admission control is described together with R99 service admission control in detail in this
document.
3.2 CAC Based on Code Resource

When a new service attempts to access the network, code resource-based admission is mandatory.
Code resource-based admission is implemented as follows:
z For RRC connection setup requests, the code resource-based admission is successful if the current
remaining code resource is sufficient for RRC connection setup.
z For handover services, the code resource-based admission is successful if the current remaining code
resource is sufficient for the service.
z For other R99 services, the RNC has to ensure that the remaining code does not exceed the
DlHoCeCodeResvSf parameter after admission of the new service.
For HSDPA services, the reserved codes are shared by all HSDPA services. Therefore, the 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 Resource

3.3.1 Overview
Power-based admission decision is used for an RRC connection setup request and RAB admission
decision.
The algorithm switches are set by the NBMUlCacAlgoSelSwitch or NBMDlCacAlgoSelSwitch.

WCDMA RAN
To enable the power-based admission control for HSDPA/HSUPA, the HSDPA_UU_ADCTRL or

HSUPA_UU_ADCTRL subparameter must also be set to 1.
CAC based on power resource is performed by using one of the following three algorithms:
z Algorithm 1 (ALGORITHM_FIRST): admission decision based on predicted load increment upon
admission of a new service
Based on the current cell load (indicated by the uplink load factor and downlink TCP) and the predicted
load increment due to admission of the new service, the RNC determines whether the cell load
exceeds the threshold upon admitting the new service. If yes, the RNC rejects the access request.
Otherwise, the RNC accepts the access request.
z Algorithm 2 (ALGORITHM_SECOND): admission decision based on the ENU
Depending on the current ENU and the access request, the RNC determines whether the ENU will
exceed the threshold upon admitting a new service. If yes, the RNC rejects the request. Otherwise, the
RNC accepts the request.
z Algorithm 3 (ALGORITHM_THIRD): admission decision based on no load increment upon admission
of a new service
This algorithm assumes that the load increment upon admission of 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 will exceed the threshold upon admitting the new service. If yes, the RNC rejects the
access request. Otherwise, the RNC accepts the access request.
Figure 3-2 shows the basic procedure of power-based admission decision.
Figure 3-2 Basic procedure of power-based admission decision
The basic principles of power-based admission decision are as follows:

z For an intra-frequency handover request, only downlink admission decision is required if downlink
CAC is enabled.

WCDMA RAN
z For a non-intra-frequency handover request, both uplink and downlink decisions are required if both
uplink CAC and downlink CAC are enabled.
z 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 Request

For the RRC connection setup request due to an emergency call, detach, or registration, direct
admission is used.
For the RRC connection setup request for other reasons, the admission decision for RRC connection
setup request is as follows:
z 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 for admission.
z 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, RRC connection setup request is rejected when 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.
− WhenUL_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

Power-based admission decision based on algorithm 1 consists of uplink power-based admission
decision and downlink power-based admission decision procedures.
Uplink Power-Based Admission Decision for R99 Cells Based on Algorithm 1

The following figure shows the criterion of uplink power-based admission decision for R99 cells.
Figure 3-3 The criterion of uplink power-based admission decision for R99 cells

WCDMA RAN
The procedure of uplink power-based admission decision is as follows:

2. The RNC obtains the uplink RTWP of the cell and the background noise and calculates the current
uplink load factor.
3. The RNC calculates the uplink load increment based on the service request.
4. 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.
5. By comparing the predicted uplink load factor 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.
6. 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 lower than 40%. If it is lower than 40%, the RNC accepts
the access request. Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request.
Uplink Power-Based Admission Decision for HSPA Cells Based on Algorithm

1
The procedure of 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 RTWP.
After the Received Scheduled E-DCH Power Share (RSEPS) measurement is introduced, the uplink
RTWP is divided into two parts:
− Controllable
part, which is generated by the E-DCH scheduling service. The controllable part is
calculated based on the RSEPS.
− Uncontrollablepart, which is generated by the other services. The uncontrollable part is the
difference between the current uplink load factor and controllable part.
2. The RNC calculates the uplink load increment based on the service request using Ec/N0 of the GBR
of the service, neighboring interference factor, and AF of the service.
3. The RNC determines whether to grant the UE admission.
In an HSPA cell, the admission conditions vary with the types of services.
For the DCH service, the sum of the uncontrollable part of RTWP and the uplink load increment must
be smaller 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 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 the HSUPA services when PBR-based decision is fulfilled or load-based
decision is fulfilled.
− PBR-based decision: It 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 fulfilled, new users are allowed to access the network.
− Load-based decision: For HSUPA scheduling services, the RNC must ensure 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 non-controllable part is
lower than the corresponding admission threshold.

WCDMA RAN
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 lower than 40%. If it is lower than 40%, the RNC accepts
the access request. Otherwise, the RNC rejects the access request.
z The IMS signaling service over HSUPA can be admitted directly.

z In the above admission decision, the uplink load factor also includes the reserved common channel load which is
specified by UlCCHLoadFactor..
Downlink Power-Based Admission Decision for R99 Cells Based on Algorithm

1
The downlink power-based admission decision for R99 cells is similar with that of uplink. The procedure
is as follows:
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. By 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 of downlink power-based admission decision for HSPA cells is as follows:
1. The RNC calculates the downlink power increment for new service request.
− Thepower increment estimation for the DCH RAB in the HSPA cell is similar to the DCH RAB in the
R99 cell.
− Thepower 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.
z Admission Decision for DCH RAB in the Downlink
When the admission of the DCH RAB is implemented, the RNC performs the following step:
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 lower 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 will fail.
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 lower than or equal to the threshold of the total downlink
power of the cell (DlCellTotalThd).
− TheHSDPA power included in the current downlink total power can be set by HsdpaMaxGBPThd or
evaluated through GBP and the maximum power available for HSPA.

WCDMA RAN
− The current downlink total power also includes all kinds of reserved power, for example, the power for
the common channel, the power for HSUPA downlink control channels.
If the condition is met, the RNC admits the DCH RAB. Otherwise, the admission will fail.
If the current cell supports DC-HSDPA, it is further required that the current total power of the
DC-HSDPA cell group must be lower than the sum of the total downlink power threshold of the primary
cell and that of the secondary cell.
z 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 will be performed. The RNC grants the UE admission when either of the decision is fulfilled.
− PBR-based decision: It is required that the PBR of all existing services is higher than or equal to the
admission threshold HsdpaStrmPBRThd/HsdpaBePBRThd.
− Load-based decision: It is required that the total downlink load after the new RAB access is lower
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 through either of the following way:
a. The sum of the current TCP and the power increment for new RAB
b. The sum of the current non-HSPA power and the GBP of all existing HSDPA services
The total downlink load also includes all kinds of reserved power, for example, the power for the common channel, the
power for HSUPA downlink control channels.
If the current cell supports DC-HSDPA, it is further required that the current total power of the
DC-HSDPA cell group must be lower than the sum of the total downlink power threshold of the primary
cell and that of the secondary cell.
If PS conversational services are carried on HSPA, the services can be treated as streaming services during admission
control.
z Admission Decision for DC-HSDPA RAB in the Downlink
The admission of DC-HSDPA RAB is based on the power of the DC-HSDPA cell group because the
RAB is set up on both carriers.
The RNC admits the DC-HSDPA RAB in any of the following situations:
− PBR-based decision in DC-HSDPA cell group is admitted. 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 is the DC-HSDPA users in DC-HSDPA cell group other than SC-HSDPA users.
− Load-based decision in DC-HSDPA cell group is admitted. That is, the total uplink load factor of
DC-HSDPA cell group is smaller than the sum of the total uplink load threshold of the primary cell and
that of the secondary cell.
z Admission Decision for HSUPA Control Channels in the Downlink
The power of downlink control channels (E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-HICH) is determined by
DlHSUPARsvdFactor. Therefore, the power-based admission for these channels is not required.
z Downlink Power-Based Admission Decision for MBMS
For details, see the MBMS Feature Parameter Description.

Power-based admission decision based on algorithm 2 consists of uplink power-based admission
decision and downlink power-based admission decision procedures.

WCDMA RAN
The ENU of MBMS downlink control channels (MICH and MCCH) is reserved. Therefore, the
power-based admission for these channels is not required.
The ENU of HSUPA downlink control channels (E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and E-HICH) is reserved by
DlHSUPARsvdFactor. Therefore, the power-based admission for these channels is also not required.
Equivalent Number of Users

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

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:
z The system checks whether the uplink equivalent user load proportion of the cell is lower than 40% if
the Control RTWP Anti-interference function switch (NBMCacAlgoSwitch:
RTWP_RESIST_DISTURB) is enabled. If it is lower than 40%, the RNC accepts the access request.
Otherwise, the RNC performs an admission decision on the uplink ENU resource.
z 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 new incoming RAB, and then estimates whether the ratio of the total uplink ENU
after the new RAB access to the maximum ENU (UlTotalEqUserNum) is lower than or equal to the cell
uplink admission threshold of 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.
Moreover, for DCH users, the RNC can also admit the access request when the following condition is
met. That is, the ratio of the total uplink ENU of all DCH users after the new RAB access to the maximum
ENU (UlTotalEqUserNum) is lower than or equal to difference between UlCellTotalThd and
HsupaMaxGBPThd.
Procedure of ENU Resource Decision for Downlink

z 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 the new incoming RAB, and then estimates whether the ratio
of the total downlink ENU after the new RAB access to the maximum ENU (DlTotalEqUserNum) is
lower 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.
Moreover, for DCH users, the RNC can also admit the access request when the following condition is
met. That is, the ratio of the total downlink ENU of all DCH users after the new RAB access to the
maximum ENU (DlTotalEqUserNum) is lower than or equal to difference between DlCellTotalThd
and HsdpaMaxGBPThd.

WCDMA RAN
For the non-DC-HSDPA RAB, If the current cell supports DC-HSDPA, it is further required that the sum
of ENUs of the DC-HSDPA cell group is smaller than the sum of the total uplink load threshold of the
primary cell and that of the secondary cell.
z For DC-HSDPA RAB
The admission is successful when the total ENU divided by the maximum ENU is smaller 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 will exceed the threshold, with the estimated load increment set to 0. If the cell load
exceeds 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.
3.4.1 NodeB Credit

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 kinds of CE. One is uplink CE supporting
uplink services, and the other is downlink CE supporting downlink services. Therefore, 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 RAB, and credit admission for HSDPA is not required.
For the DCH service, the RNC uses the MBR to calculate the number of consumed CEs and
corresponding credits.For the HSUPA service,
z If the dynamic CE function of the cell is enabled, the RNC calculates the number of consumed CEs
and corresponding credits based on max (one min RLC PDU bit rate, GBR).
− If
the uplink enhanced L2 is enabled, the RLC PDU size is flexible. One min RLC PDU bit rate is
determined by the minimum RLC PDU size and TTI. The minimum RLC PDU size can be set through
the RlcPduMinSizeForUlL2Enhance parameter.
− When the uplink enhanced L2 is disabled, the RLC PDU size is fixed. One RLC PDU bit rate is
determined by the RLC PDU size and TTI.
z If the dynamic CE function of the cell is disabled, the RNC calculates the number of consumed CEs
and corresponding credits based on MBR
z If the RNC does not obtain whether the dynamic CE function is enabled from the NodeB, the RNC
calculates the number of consumed CEs and corresponding credits based on
HsupaCeConsumeSelection.
3.4.2 Procedure of 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:

WCDMA RAN
z For an RRC connection setup request, the credit resource-based admission is successful if the current
remaining credit resources of the local cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB are sufficient for RRC
connection setup.
z For a handover service, the credit resource-based admission is successful if the current remaining
credit resources of the local cell, local cell group (if any), and NodeB are sufficient for the service.
z For other services, the RNC has to ensure that the remaining 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 admission of the new services.
The CE capabilities at the levels of local cell, local cell group, and NodeB are reported to the RNC through the
NBAP_AUDIT_RSP message over the Iub interface.
- The CE capability of local cell level indicates the maximum capability in terms of hardware that can be used in the
local cell.
- The CE capability of local cell group level indicates the capability obtained after the license and hardware are taken
into consideration.
- The CE capability of NodeB level indicates the number of CEs allowed to use as specified in the license.
In the current release of product, 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 Resource

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 of HSDPA Users
The HSDPA services have to undergo admission decision 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:
z The number of HSDPA users in the cell does not exceed the maximum value specified by
MaxHsdpaUserNum.
z The number of HSDPA users in the NodeB does not exceed the maximum value specified by
NodeBHsdpaMaxUserNum.
Otherwise, the HSDPA service is degraded to R99 service to retry admission.
3.6.2 CAC of HSUPA Users

The HSUPA services have to undergo admission decision 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:
z The number of the HSUPA users in the cell does not exceed the maximum value specified by
MaxHsupaUserNum.
z The number of the HSUPA users in the NodeB does not exceed the maximum value specified by
NodeBHsupaMaxUserNum.

DlCCHLoadRsrvCoeff BSC69 ADD Meaning: Different admission policies are used for
00 UCELLCAC(Optio dedicated channel and common channel users. For
nal) 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 threshold, the call is admitted;
otherwise, rejected.

a cell will not be higher than this threshold, this
service will be admitted.
The DL load factor thresholds include parameters of
[DL threshold of Conv non_AMR service], [DL
handover access threshold] and [DL 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
