Overview
 IBCA is a dynamic frequency and channel allocation
algorithm based on the prediction of the achievable CIR
of each candidate channel and connection established.

 Pre-requirement:
 synchronization at air interface

 Main function modules:

 CIR estimation

 Channel allocation

Channel Allocation
The CIR
Estimation is
the basis of
Allocation Principles

Channel
Allocation !

Impact on Established Call



Selection of optimum channel



HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 13

Allocation Principles:
 CIR > Soft block threshold of call;
 Will not Cause Established Call CIR degrade to unacceptable
level;
 Choose the channel with minimum influnce
 Minimum Established Call CIR degradation
 If CIR computed with a MAIO < soft block threshold ,then th
is MAIO can’t be allocated for this channel;
 If all MAIO of a channel can’t be allocated, then this cha
nnel can’t be allocated for current call

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 14

Impact on Established call
The impact on established call is evaluated using
 CIR_DEC:
Formula: CIR_DEC = CIRold – CIRnew


CIRold: The estimate CIR of established call before channe



l allocation
CIRnew: The estimate CIR of established call assuming chan


nel allocated
If CIRnew < soft block threshold of established call, then MA


IO used in computing CIRnew can’t allocated for this channel

If all MAIO can’t be allocated, this channel can’t be alloc


ated for current call

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 15

Selection of optimum channel
Minimum Discrepancy
between estimated
CIR and target CIR
CRES ＝ |CIRtgt － CIRest| ＋ MAX{CIR_DECi}


 CIRtgt ： Target CIR of newly arrived call(current call) ；

 CIRest ： Estimated CIR of current channel ；
CIR_DECi ： CIR Degradation of established call ；


Select a (channel 、 MAIO) combination with the minimum CRES

 Limitation

 Need to be synchronous at air interface first of all

 Increase the computation of CPU
 If open the soft block threshold , the congestion maybe increase
 Not suitable to the wide cover scene
 Conflict with Flex MAIO
