2 Overview
2 Overview
BE services consist of interactive services and background services. The rates of BE services fluctuate
greatly. Adjusting service rates dynamically according to user's activities can improve the resource
usage. Adjusting service rates dynamically according to radio environments can improve the stability of
radio links.
DCCC (WRFD-021101 Dynamic Channel Configuration Control) is mainly used to control the rate of BE
services on the DCH and E-DCH.
Table 2-1 lists the functions of DCCC.
Table 2-1 Functions of DCCC
DCCC type
Description
DCCC Based on
Traffic Volume
RNC increases or decreases the rate of DCH BE services based on the traffic
volume measured in the RLC buffer in both UL and DL.
DCCC Based on
Throughput
RNC increases or decreases the rate of DCH/E-DCH BE services based on the

throughput measured.
DCCC Based on
LDR
When the cell enters the basic congestion state, RNC decreases the rate of
DCH/E-DCH BE services. When the cell exits from the basic congestion state,
RNC increases the rate of DCH/E-DCH BE services through the DCCC function.
Link Stability Control Link stability control is applicable to DCH BE services. Link quality is measured
through the UE TX power or BLER in the UL or through the TCP or RLC PDU
retransmission ratio in the DL. The RNC performs rate decrease or rate increase
or handover based on the link quality.
The DCCC function is controlled by the DraSwitch > DRA_DCCC_SWITCH parameter.

The UL DCCC based on traffic volume function is invalid for the BE service whose maximum UL rate is
below or equal to the UL rate threshold for DCCC specified by UlDcccRateThd. Thus, excessive
signaling procedures can be avoided. The DL rate is limited in the same way. The DL rate threshold is
specified by DlDcccRateThd.
HSUPA DCCC and HSUPA dynamic CE resource management cannot be used simultaneously. For
details about HSUPA dynamic CE resource management, see the HSUPA Feature Parameter
Description.
If all the cells in the active set support HSUPA dynamic CE resource management, the BE service rate
is adjusted to the MBR (the rate need not be adjusted if the current rate is already the MBR), and
HSUPA DCCC is invalid.
If any cell in the active set does not support HSUPA dynamic CE resource management, HSUPA
DCCC is valid.
For DCCC of E-DCH BE services and DCCC rate adjustment of DCH BE services, two strategies are
available, which can be specified by the parameter DcccStg or HsupaDcccStg:
The rate can be either increased or decreased as required.
The rate can only be increased and not be decreased. This strategy is recommended if the network
resources are sufficient. When the UE is in the low active state, the UE state is changed to
CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH/URA_PCH.

3 DCCC Based on Traffic Volume

3.1 Overview
DCCC based on traffic volume improves the utilization of base station transmission power, OVSF codes,
Iub transmission resources and CEs.
Figure 3-1 DCCC based on traffic volume
Events 4a and 4b indicate different states of UL and DL traffic volumes. The RNC can increase or
decrease service rates according to the reported events. Event 4a indicates that the traffic volume is
high, and thus the RNC needs to increase service rates. Event 4b indicates that the traffic volume is low,
and thus the RNC needs to decrease service rates.
The following table shows the basic principle of DCCC based on traffic volume.

WCDMA RAN
DCCC
The RNC measure the downlink RLC buffer occupancy and the UE measures the
uplink RLC buffer occupancy. If the traffic volume is excessively high, and event
4a is triggered and if the traffic volume is excessively low, event 4b is triggered.
The traffic volume measurements defined in 3GPP TS 25.331 are applicable to
only the UL. For the DL, traffic volume measurements and associated rate
adjustment are designed and implemented by Huawei
In the UL, the UTRAN sends to the UE the absolute threshold, time to trigger
event 4a or 4b, and pending time after trigger through a MEASUREMENT
CONTROL message. The UE sends a report on event 4a or 4b through a
MEASUREMENT REPORT message.
In the DL, measurement control is also performed through messages. The

difference is that all the interactions occur within the RNC in the DL.
For event 4a or 4b in the UL or DL:
If the traffic volume is above the threshold of event 4a specified by Event4aThd for a period of time
specified by TimetoTrigger4A, the UE/RNC sends a report on event 4a. In a period of time specified
by the parameter PendingTime4A after sending the report on event 4a, the UE/RNC does not send it
any more.
If the traffic volume is below the threshold of event 4b specified by Event4bThd for a period of time
specified by TimetoTrigger4B, the UE/RNC sends a report on event 4b. After sending the report on
event 4b, the UE/RNC does not send it again in a period of time specified by PendingTime4B.
Rate adjustment based on traffic volume takes effect in the UL and DL separately. Associated
parameters are configured in the UL and DL separately. The parameter Direction specifies whether the
parameters are configured in the UL or DL.

3.3 Rate Adjustment

The prerequisites for UL rate adjustment based on traffic volume are as follows:
The UL of the UE is in the link stable state. For details, see section 6 "Link Stability."
The UL of the cell is not in the basic congestion state.
If the DL of the cell is in the basic congestion state, only the service rate lower than the GBR can be
increased to the GBR.
The prerequisites for DL rate adjustment based on traffic volume are as follows:
If the function of DL rate adjustment based on link quality is enabled, the DL must be stable.
The UL of the cell is not in the basic congestion state.
If the UL of the cell is in the basic congestion state, only the service rate lower than the GBR can be
increased to the GBR.
After receiving a report on event 4b, the RNC triggers rate decrease. After receiving a report on event 4a,
the RNC triggers rate increase. The minimum value to which the rate can be decreased is the UL/DL rate
threshold for DCCC. The maximum value to which the rate can be increased is the MBR.
The triggering and processing in the UL and DL are performed separately. The UL and DL is processing
in the same way.
If the UL/DL rate decrease level is 2_Rates, the rate is decreased directly to the UL/DL rate threshold
for DCCC.
If the UL/DL rate increase level is 2_Rates and the current rate is below the UL/DL DCCC rate
threshold, the current rate is increased to the UL/DL DCCC rate threshold. If the current rate is above
or equal to the UL/DL rate threshold for DCCC and lower than the MBR, the current rate is increased
to the MBR.
If the UL/DL rate decrease level is 3_Rates and the current rate is the MBR, the current rate is
decreased to the UL/DL middle rate threshold and then to the UL/DL rate threshold for DCCC. If the
current rate is lower than the MBR but higher than the UL/DL rate threshold for DCCC, the current rate
is decreased to the UL/DL rate threshold for DCCC.

If the UL/DL rate increase level is 3_Rates and the current rate is below the UL/DL DCCC rate
threshold, the rate is increased to the UL/DL rate threshold for DCCC. If the current rate is equal to the
UL/DL rate threshold for DCCC, the current rate is increased to the UL/DL middle rate threshold and
then to the MBR. If the current rate is lower than the MBR but higher than the UL/DL rate threshold for
DCCC, the current rate is increased to the MBR.

4 DCCC Based on Throughput
Figure 3-4 Rate adjustment when the UL rate increase and decrease level are 3_Rates

4.1 Overview
This section involves the feature "WRFD-01061208 HSUPA DCCC."
For the DCH and E-DCH, the strategies for rate adjustment based on throughput are different as follows:
For throughput-based rate adjustment on the E-DCH, rate increase or decrease can be triggered
according to the received event 4a or 4b respectively.
For throughput-based rate adjustment on the DCH in the UL or DL, only rate decrease can be
triggerred according to the received event 4b.
The switches for rate adjustment based on throughput are as follows:
To enable throughput-based rate adjustment on the DCH, turn on the switch CfgSwitch >
THROU_DCCC_SWITCH (SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH).
To enable throughput-based rate adjustment for HSUPA, turn on the switch DraSwitch >
DRA_HSUPA_DCCC_SWITCH (SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH).
The following table shows the basic principle of DCCC based on throughput.

4.2 Throughput Measurement

Measurement Item Event Description
UL/DL throughput
4a/4b
In each measurement period, the RNC MAC-d measures the traffic

volume of radio bearers (RBs). Then, RNC divides the measurement
result by the measurement period to obtain the throughput.
The throughput measurement period can be specified by the parameter E2FThrouMeasPeriod for
services on the E-DCH and DchThrouMeasPeriod for services on the DCH.
Assume that AvgThroughput represents the throughput of an RB during a measurement period. Then:
For E-DCH, If the AvgThroughput is above the threshold of event 4a for a period of time specified by
EdchTimetoTrigger4A and the current time is not in the pending time after trigger, then event 4a is
triggered. After event 4a is triggered, it cannot be triggered any more in the period of time specified by
EdchPendingTime4A.
For E-DCH, If the AvgThroughput is below the threshold of event 4b for a period of time specified by
EdchTimetoTrigger4B and the current time is not in the pending time after trigger, then event 4b is
triggered. After event 4b is triggered, it cannot be triggered any more in the period of time specified by
EdchPendingTime4B.
For DCH, If the AvgThroughput is below the threshold of event 4b for a period of time specified by
DchThrouTimetoTrigger4B and the current time is not in the pending time after trigger, then event 4b
is triggered. After event 4b is triggered, it cannot be triggered any more in the period of time specified
by DchThrouPendingTime4B.
Figure 4-1 shows the mechanism of measuring the throughput and reporting events 4a and 4b. In this
example, the time to trigger event 4a or 4b is three consecutive measurement periods, and the pending
time after trigger is four consecutive measurement periods.
Figure 4-1 Mechanism of measuring the throughput and reporting events 4a and 4b
Reports on events 4a and 4b are based on the set of adjustment rates and throughput thresholds {(R1,
TR1), ..., (Ri, TRi), ..., (RN, TRN)}. Ri is an adjustment rate and TRi is the corresponding throughput
threshold.
For services on the DCH, the Ri adjustment rate set is {rate threshold for DCCC, middle rate,
maximum rate}. The throughput threshold is as follows: Rt-1 = Rt-1 x 90%.

Issue 01 (2010-12-20)
WCDMA RAN
DCCC
For details of the parameters of the DCH rate set, see 3 DCCC Based on Traffic Volume.
For services on the E-DCH, Ri is the adjustment rate set specified by EdchRateAdjustSet, and RN is
the maximum rate. TRi = Ri x (Threshold rate ratio)i (see Table 4-2 for details). TRMBR = MBR x
(Threshold rate ratio)MBR.
Rt < MBR Rt+1 (1 t N1), the set of E-DCH adjustment rates and associated throughput
thresholds is: {(R1, TR1), ..., (Ri, TRi), ..., (Rt, TRt), ( MBR, TRMBR)}.
If
If
MBR > RN, the set of E-DCH adjustment rates and associated throughput thresholds is: {(R1,
TR1), ..., (Ri, TRi), ..., (RN, TRN), ( MBR, TRMBR)}.
Assume that Rt is the current service rate. The threshold settings of events 4a and 4b are as follows:
The 4a threshold for E-DCH service is TRt, and the 4b threshold is Rt-1. If the current HSUPA
adjustment rate is the minimum rate, the threshold of event 4b is specified by E2FThrouThd.
The 4b threshold for DCH service is TRt-1. TRt-1 = Rt-1 x 90%

4.3 Rate Adjustment

Except that rate increase cannot be performed on the DCH, the rate adjustment procedures based on
throughput on the E-DCH and DCH are the same.
After a report on event 4a is received, the rate is increased by one level, that is, from Rt to Rt+1. If the
current rate is the MBR, no action is required.
After a report on event 4b is received, the rate is decreased to a rate that is close to the corresponding
throughput. If the reported throughput is TR and TRi-1 <TR < TRi, then the RB adjustment rate is Ri.

If the rate adjustment strategy is only rate increase rather than rate decrease, the rate adjustment
method is the same as that mentioned earlier, but rate decrease is not performed after the report on
event 4b is received. Instead, state transition is performed.

5 DCCC Based on LDR

5.1 Overview
Basic congestion may trigger LDR, and LDR can reduce load by reducing the rate of BE services. For
details, see the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
When the cell enters the basic congestion state, the RNC decreases BE rates through the DCCC
function to relieve the congestion.
The following table shows the basic principle of DCCC based on LDR.

may have their rate increased.
5.2 Rate Adjustment Based on LDR

When LDR triggers BE service rate decrease, the selected RAB rate is decreased to the target rate. The
target rates are different for DCH RAB and HSUPA RAB.
For a DCH RAB, the rate adjustment level is fixed to 3_Rates. If the rate decrease level
(UlRateDnAdjLevel or DlRateDnAdjLevel) is set to 2_Rates, the middle rate is calculated by the
RNC and the middle rate is approximately equal to the MBR divided by two.
If
the current rate is equal to the MBR, it is decreased to the UL/DL middle rate threshold
(UlMidRateThd/DlMidRateThd). The middle rate threshold is the same as that described in section
3 "DCCC Based on Traffic Volume."
If
the current rate is higher than the GBR but lower than the MBR, it is decreased to the GBR.
For an E-DCH RAB, a rate is selected from the HSUPA UL rate adjustment set (EdchRateAdjustSet)
as the target rate for rate decrease.
The
target rate must be smaller than but the closest to the current rate.
The
target rate must be greater than or equal to the GBR.
For details about the HSUPA UL rate adjustment set (EdchRateAdjustSet), see section 4.2
"Throughput Measurement."

5.3 Penalty for Rate Increase Failure

A rate increase failure may be due to lack of Iub resources, lack of cell resources, NodeB exception, UE
exception, or other causes. If rate increase failures occur frequently, rate increase attempts have to be
prevented for a period of time.
Figure 5-2 shows the procedure for penalizing rate increase failures when the adjustment level is
2_Rates.

The symbols in Figure 5-2 are described as follows:
18: indicating that event 4a is reported from the UE
S1: indicating that the cell is in the normal state
S2: indicating that the cell is in the congestion state
S3: indicating that the cell is restored from the congestion state
After the first rate increase fails, the timer (MoniTimeLen) for detecting DCCC rate increase failures is
started.
If the number of the rate increase failures is above or equal to the corresponding threshold (FailTimeTh)
during the period (MoniTimeLen), the penalty timer is started. No rate increase attempt is allowed
before the penalty timer expires.
When the cell is in the basic congestion state, the rates lower than the GBR can be increased. Whether
rate increase can succeed depends on whether the required resources are sufficient.

6 Link Stability Control for BE

6.1 Overview
When the UL or DL quality deteriorates, the link stability control function triggers a rate decrease, an
inter-frequency handover, or an inter-RAT handover, so as to guarantee the stability of links.
The UL stability control function is applicable to only the scenario of single RAB or 1CS AMR/VP + 1PS
BE combined services. For 1CS + 1PS combined services, the link stability control function for PS BE
services is performed.
The link stability control function switches for different services are set through the SET UQOSACT
command.
The link stability control functions for different services are as follows:
Link Stability Control for AMR

For details, see AMR Feature Parameter Descripton
Link Stability Control for VP

For details, see Video Phone Feature Parameter Descripton
Link Stability Control for BE
6.2 Basic Principle

6.2.1 Overview
Link stability control for BE services is implemented by the RNC. Excessively high TX power means that
associated links are unstable. In this case, link stability control is performed through rate decrease, QoS
handover (inter-frequency or inter-RAT) to ensure link stability and the QoS. Rate decrease in link
stability control is implemented through DCCC.
Figure 6-1 Link stability control
Different rate has different coverage. When UE moves around in a cell, the link quality varies. The
function of link stability control checks the link quality and triggers DCCC/Handover to ensure QoS
perceived by user and avoid call drop due to power limitation
The following table shows the basic principle of link stability control for BE.

The RNC calculate the retransmission ratio according to the received

ACKs and NACKs. If the RLC PDU retransmission ratio is above the
threshold of event A, the RNC triggers the events.
Fa/Fb
The NodeB periodically measures and reports downlink DPCCH pilot

power to the RNC.The RNC converts it to the DPDCH power and
triggers the respective events by comparing the power with the the
threshold.
UL Event 6A1/6A2/6B1/6B2/6D
According to the measurement result of UE TX power in the UL, event 6A, 6B, or 6D is triggered. For
details about triggering modes, see AMR Feature Parameter Description. The following new triggering
time parameters are introduced: UlBeTrigTime6A1, UlBeTrigTime6A2, UlBeTrigTime6B1,
UlBeTrigTime6B2, and UlBeTrigTime6D.
Ul Event 5A
The UL BLER measurement may trigger event 5A. The RNC defines a sliding window of a certain length
through the parameter StaBlkNum5A. Each time the RNC receives a data block, it compares the
number of error blocks in the sliding window with the threshold of event 5A specified by the parameter
Thd5A. If the number of error blocks is above or equal to the threshold of event 5A, event 5A is triggered.
Then, the RNC can trigger again event 5A only after the number of received error blocks reaches
HangBlockNum5A, to avoid excessive reporting of event 5A.

DL Event Ea/Eb/Fa/Fb
Event E is used to check whether the DL power is excessively high. Event E can trigger a DL rate
decrease. Event E consists of event Ea and event Eb. Event F is used to check whether the current TX
power allows a rate increase. Event F consists of event Fa and event Fb.
According to the measurement result of DL TX power in the pilot field of the DPCCH, event E or F is
triggered as follows:
If the TX power in the pilot field of the DPCCH is above the threshold of event Ea or Fa for a period of
time specified by DlBeTrigTimeE or DlBeTrigTimeF, event Ea or Fa is triggered. Then, the NodeB
periodically reports the measurement results of TX power to the RNC. The period for the NodeB to
report measurement results is specified by the parameter ChoiceRptUnitForBeE, TenMsecForBeE,
or MinForBeE for event E and by the parameter ChoiceRptUnitForBeF, TenMsecForBeF, or
MinForBeF for event F.
If the TX power in the pilot field of the DPCCH is below the threshold of event Eb or Fb for a period of
time, event Eb or Fb is triggered. Then, the NodeB stops reporting the measurement results of TX
power.
The thresholds of events Fa and Fb are the same. The threshold of event F cannot be above the threshold of event Ea.
Otherwise, the threshold of event F is set to the threshold of event Ea.
The threshold of event E is related to services. The relative threshold of event Ea or Eb is calculated
according to the following formula:
E threshold = Pmax ThdEa/ThdEb + PO3
In the equation:
E threshold is the relative threshold of event Ea or Eb.
ThdEa/ ThdEb is the relative threshold of event Ea or Eb respectively.
Pmax is the maximum DL TX power of DPDCHs
PO3 is the offset from the TX power in the pilot field of the DPCCH to the TX power of the DPDCH.
The threshold of event F is related to the current rate and the target rate of rate increase (triggered by
event 4a). The threshold of event F is calculated according to the following formula:
F threshold = Pmax p Pmargin ThdEa + PO3
In the equation:
Issue 01 (2010-12-20)

6-7
WCDMA RAN
DCCC
Pmax is the maximum DL TX power of DPDCHs corresponding to the target rate.
p is the power difference between the current rate and the target rate.
Pmargin is determined by the parameter BePwrMargin for a single service or by the parameter
CombPwrMargin for combined services.
Ea relative threshold is used to avoid repeated triggering of event Ea after a rate increase.
PO3 is the offset from the TX power in the pilot field of the DPCCH to the TX power of the DPDCH.
Figure 6-5 shows the mechanism of reporting event F.

Figure 6-5 Mechanism of reporting event F
DL Event A
The DL RLC PDU retransmission ratio is calculated according to the ACK or NACK feedback information.
The measurement of RLC PDU retransmission ratio can be set by the parameter
SrncBeDlRlcQosSwitch through the SET UQOSACT command.
The RLC PDU retransmission ratio is reported to layer 3 from layer 2. Figure 6-6 shows the threshold for
reporting the RLC PDU retransmission ratio.

Issue 01 (2010-12-20)
WCDMA RAN
DCCC
Figure 6-6 Threshold for reporting the RLC PDU retransmission ratio
The procedure for measuring the RLC PDU retransmission ratio is as follows:
1. Set up a sliding window for calculating the RLC PDU retransmission ratio periodically according to
the period of monitoring the retransmission ratio specified by the parameter MoniterPrd.
2. Check whether the RLC PDU retransmission ratio is above the threshold of event A specified by the
parameter EventAThred. If it is above the threshold for a period of time, that is, MoniterPrd x
TimeToTriggerA, event A is triggered and the RLC PDU retransmission ratio is reported.
Event A based on the RLC PDU retransmission ratio is defined by Huawei. It is not a standard event
specified by 3GPP specifications.
In the period of time (MoniterPrd x TimeToTriggerA) after event A is reported, the RLC PDU
retransmission ratio is not calculated any more. If a report on event Ea is already received before a
report on event A is received, the system may reduce the DL rate.
6.4 DCCC Based on Link Stability

Rate adjustment based on link stability is applicable to BE services on the DCH.
After an event indicating that the link quality is poor is reported, the RNC triggers rate decrease. When
the associated conditions are met, the RNC adjusts the service rate to the original one. The rate
adjustment methods in the UL and DL are the same. The adjustment processes are performed
separately.
Rate Decrease
Rate decrease based on link quality is performed in the following way:
The rate decrease level is fixed to 3_Rates. If the rate decrease level (UlRateDnAdjLeve or
DlRateDnAdjLevel) is set to 2_Rates, the middle rate is calculated by the RNC.
If the current rate is equal to the MBR, it is decreased to the middle rate threshold specified by
UlMidRateThd or DlMidRateThd.
If the current rate is higher than the full-coverage rate specified by UlFullCvrRate or DlFullCvrRate
but lower than the MBR, it is decreased to UlFullCvrRate or DlFullCvrRate.
Issue 01 (2010-12-20)

WCDMA RAN
DCCC
Figure 6-7 Rate adjustment based on link quality when the adjustment level is 3_Rates
Rate Increase
Before rate increase, the RNC checks whether the current power is sufficient. If the power is sufficient,
rate increase is triggered by event 4a.
In the UL:
If the RNC receives a report on event 6B2 but does not receive any report on event 6A2, the channel
power is sufficient. In this case, rate increase based on traffic volume can be triggered by event 4a.
If the RNC receives a report on event 6A2, no rate increase based on traffic volume can be triggered
by event 4a. If the RNC receives a report on event 6B1, rate decrease is stopped and no rate increase
can be triggered.
In the DL:
If event Fa is reported, you can infer that the DL channel power is sufficient. If event 4a is also reported,
a rate increase can be triggered.
If event Fb is reported, you can infer that the DL channel power is insufficient. In this case, no rate
increase can be triggered.

UE. That is, if an HSPA+ feature is required by
the previously released RAB connection but is
not required in the initial bearer policy of the
remaining traffic, the RNC falls back the feature
to save the transmission resources. The HSPA+
features that support the fallback are MIMO,
64QAM, MIMO+64QAM, UL 16QAM,
DC-HSDPA, and UL TTI 2ms.
