2 Overview
Overview
2.1 Background
Special events, such as festivals, parades, or major demonstrations, often result in unpredictable
network congestion depending on crowd levels and community participation. In this case,
network configuration optimization cannot be performed in advance. With Automatic
Congestion Handler, congestion relief can be performed automatically in these scenarios.
2.2 Introduction
Automatic Congestion Handler monitors network congestion in real time. If network congestion
occurs, this feature automatically performs corresponding congestion relief actions based on the
congestion state. This relieves network congestion.
2.3 Benefits
This feature automatically relieves congestion in scenarios where special events result in
unanticipated crowd levels, thereby reducing the operation and maintenance workload. This
improves system stability and performance.

3 Technical Description
Technical Description
3.1 Introduction
This feature monitors load-related measurement quantities for a cell in real time. If a
measurement quantity or a set of measurement quantities meets certain requirements, the RNC
determines that the cell is congested and performs corresponding congestion relief actions, which
can be implemented by activating existing congestion relief algorithms or adjusting the settings
of existing network configuration parameters.
3.2 Principles
When the automatic congestion control switch (ADAP_CELL_CONGEST_SWITCH under
the AdapAlgoSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter) is set to on, the RNC determines the
congestion state of a cell based on measurement quantities such as downlink non-HSPA power
load, actual uplink load, and number of users on the DCH.
After determining the congestion state, the RNC performs corresponding congestion relief
actions to improve the cell performance. Figure 3-1 outlines the mapping between congestion
states and congestion relief actions.

Description
NOTE
The preceding figure shows only the working principle of the automatic congestion control algorithm. For
details about how to determine the congestion states in actual conditions, see section 3.2.1 Decision
Conditions for Different Congestion States.
3.2.1 Decision Conditions for Different Congestion States

The RNC determines the load state of a cell based on the following measurement objects:
l
Downlink power load of a cell: This measurement object includes the downlink non-HSPA
power load. For details about the downlink non-HSPA power load, see section "Load
Measurement" in Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
Uplink power load of a cell: This measurement object includes the actual uplink load, uplink
rise over thermal (RoT) or received total wideband power (RTWP) and number of users
on the DCH.
NOTE
If the actual uplink load cannot be obtained, the RoT is used instead. For details about the actual uplink
load, see section "Load Measurement" in Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
DTCH carried over the FACH: The state of the DTCH carried over the FACH determines
whether the FACH of a cell is congested.
Number of users on the FACH: This is determined based on the number of users in the
CELL_FACH state.
Table 3-1 describes the decision conditions for each measurement object.

3.2.2 Automatic Congestion Relief Actions

The RNC performs corresponding congestion relief actions after determining the load state of
a cell. Table 3-2 lists all the congestion relief actions for each congestion state. Some functions
under CS Preference and FACH Congestion Control have no negative impact on the network
when the cell is not congested. Therefore, these functions are enabled by default when the
ADAP_CELL_CONGEST_SWITCH under the AdapAlgoSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter is set to ON and corresponding conditions are met. Once enabled, these functions will
not be disabled.
NOTE
l CS Preference includes the following functions: CS RAB setup optimization, CS services preempting
PS BE service resources, preemption algorithm, CS RRC preemption, high SPU CPU load preemption.
l FACH Congestion Control includes the following functions: RLC transmission suspension after UL
4A, RLC transmission suspension after DL F2D, P2D in FACH congestion, TVM-based P2D, and F2P
state transition through physical channel reconfiguration.

5 Network Impact
Network Impact
System Capacity
Network configuration optimization cannot be performed in advance for special events where
unanticipated network congestion often occurs. With Automatic Congestion Handler,
congestion relief can be performed automatically when cells are congested. This improves
system capacity.
This feature involves multiple algorithms and functions. The impact of each algorithm or
function on system capacity is as follows:
l
N300/T300 parameter optimization: This function reduces the number of RRC

CONNECTION REQUEST retransmissions in congestion scenarios and therefore reduces
additional resource consumption in the uplink. When there are sufficient services, this
action also increases the uplink traffic volume.
RRC connection release wait time parameter optimization: This function prolongs the time
a user of low-priority must wait before sending a second RRC CONNECTION REQUEST
message and reduces additional resource consumption in the uplink in congestion scenarios.
When there are sufficient services, this action also increases the uplink traffic volume.
Cell HSUPA user number parameter optimization: This function reduces the maximum
number of online HSUPA users in a cell in congestion scenarios. The uplink throughput is
low in congestion scenarios and the power efficiency of R99 services is higher than that of
HSUPA services in low uplink throughput scenarios. Eventually, this action reduces the
resource consumption in the uplink. When there are sufficient services, this action also
increases the total uplink traffic volume.
Uplink or downlink initial access rate: This function decreases the initial access rate of R99
users that are processing PS BE services and reduces the power consumption per user in
congestion scenarios. When there are sufficient services, this action also increases the
number of users on the DCH and improves system capacity. However, this reduces the
average throughput of a single user that is processing PS BE services.
Functions under CS Preference, such as CS RAB setup optimization and CS services

preempting PS BE service resources, ensure that CS services preferentially access the
network. This improves the CS Erlangs but reduces the PS traffic volume in congestion
scenarios.
Functions under FACH Congestion Control, such as RLC transmission suspension after
UL 4A, improve the utilization of FACH resources and therefore improve system capacity.

Description
5 Network Impact
RxLevMin parameter optimization: This function increases the value of the RxLevMin
parameter when a cell enters the congestion state so that some UEs will not camp on this
cell. This affects the cell capacity but realizes load balancing, without affecting system
capacity.
HSDPA user number restriction cancellation: This function increases the number of
admitted HSDPA users.
The overall impact on system capacity is as follows:

In cell congestion scenarios, congestion relief actions help reduce cell load and improve the
efficiency of resource utilization. This feature also helps improve cell capacity when there are
sufficient services.
Network Performance
The impact of each algorithm or function on network performance is as follows:
l
N300/T300 parameter optimization: This function reduces the number of RRC

CONNECTION REQUEST retransmissions in congestion scenarios. This extends the
response delay users experience.
RRC connection release wait time parameter optimization: This function prolongs the time
a user of low-priority must wait before sending a second RRC CONNECTION REQUEST
message in congestion scenarios. This extends the response delay these users experience.
Cell HSUPA user number parameter optimization: This function reduces the maximum
number of online HSUPA users in a cell in congestion scenarios. As a result, some HSUPA
users can be carried only on the DCH, affecting user experience.
Inter-RAT redirection: This function enables users to be redirected to the GSM network
after failing to access the UMTS network. This reduces the access delay for these users,
improving user experience.
Inter-RAT DRD: This function enables CS users to access the GSM network after failing
to access the UMTS network in congestion scenarios. This reduces the access delay for
these users and slightly improves the setup success rate of CS services.
Functions under CS Preference, such as CS RAB setup optimization and CS services

preempting PS BE service resources, ensure that CS services preferentially access the
network. This improves the CS RAB setup success rate in congestion scenarios. However,
the PS call drop rate slightly increases if the occurrences of CS or PS services preempting
resources occupied by PS services increase.
Cell-level static CAPS flow control or cell-level dynamic CAPS flow control: This function
decreases the number of allowable RRC connections in heavy traffic scenarios, affecting
the RRC connection setup success rate.
DPCH pilot power adjustment: If the length or power offset of the pilot field is reduced,
SIR estimations will become less accurate and Uu-interface synchronization probability is
reduced. This increases the call drop rate.
The overall impact on network performance is as follows:

If CS admission fails before this feature is enabled, the CS access success rate significantly
increases after this feature is enabled. However, the PS call drop rate also increases when PS or
CS preemption occurs.

5 Network Impact
NOTE
l After this feature is enabled, some of the preceding functions take effect simultaneously and affect
each other. Therefore, the impact of this feature on system capacity and network performance cannot
be quantified.
l After this feature is enabled, the RNC dynamically adjusts parameters and therefore the CPU usage of
the SPU subsystem slightly increases. The increase in the CPU usage is in direct proportion to the
number of cells enabled with this feature on the SPU subsystem. When all the cells on the SPU
subsystem are enabled with this feature, the CPU usage of the SPU subsystem increases by less than
3%.

Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use Automatic Congestion Handler

The Automatic Congestion Handler feature is recommended in the following scenarios:
l
The network configuration involved in this feature is not optimized.
Unplanned events happen. It is recommended that this feature always be enabled in this
scenario because network congestion often occurs and the congestion state is unpredictable
in this scenario.
A cell is congested. This feature helps relieve cell congestion and improves system capacity.
For details about how to determine whether the network configuration needs to be optimized
and whether a cell is congested, see section 6.2 Required Information
6.2 Required Information

Collect the values of the VS.CellDCHUEs, VS.MeanULActualPowerLoad, VS.MeanRTWP,
VS.MeanTCP.NonHS, VS.CellFACHUEs.MAX, and VS.CellFACHUEs counters during busy
hours to evaluate the congestion states of different resources in a cell. When the counters meet
the following conditions, the corresponding resource in the cell is congested. It is recommended
that this feature be enabled for a cell if any resource is congested.
l
The uplink power load meets the following conditions:

The value of the VS.CellDCHUEs counter is greater than 20.
The value of the VS.MeanULActualPowerLoad counter is greater than 65%. That is,
the actual uplink load is greater than 5 dB. If the actual uplink load cannot be obtained,
this feature uses the RTWP instead. In this case, it is required that the ROT
corresponding to the value of the VS.MeanRTWP counter be greater than 5 dB.
For the downlink power load, the value of the VS.MeanTCP.NonHS counter meets the
following formula: 10[(VS.MeanTCP.NonHS-MaxTxPower/10)/10] > 60%.
For the number of users on the FACH, the value of the VS.CellFACHUEs counter is greater
than 25 or the value of the VS.CellFACHUEs.MAX counter is greater than or equal to 30.

Rules of a function can be queried based on the name or ID of the function. For example, the
output of the following command shows that the RuleID of the N300/T300 parameter
optimization function is 501, 502, 503, and 504:
LST UIOPTRULE: LstType=BY_ID, IOptiFunctionID=1
Run the RNC MML command ACT UIOPTRULE or DEA UIOPTRULE to activate or
deactivate rules of a function. A function is deactivated when all the rules of the function are
deactivated. Pay attention to the following when activating or deactivating rules of a function:
All the rules of a function must be activated or deactivated simultaneously. You cannot activate
or deactivate a single rule of a function. For example, you need to activate rules 501, 502, 503,
and 504 simultaneously to activate the N300/T300 parameter optimization function and you
need to deactivate rules 501, 502, 503, and 504 simultaneously to deactivate the N300/T300
parameter optimization function.
NOTE
All the functions except CS services preempting PS BE service resources listed in the preceding table are
activated by default. You need to perform this step only when a function needs to be deactivated after this
feature is enabled.

KPI
To evaluate the changes in the congestion state of a cell, compare the values of the
VS.CellDCHUEs, VS.MeanTCP.NonHS, VS.MeanULActualPowerLoad,
VS.MeanRTWP, and VS.CellFACHUEs counters before and after this feature is activated.
When the function of Cell HSUPA user number parameter optimization is enabled in a cell
where the uplink power load is congested, if the value of the VS.HSUPA.UE.Max.Cell
counter is greater than half the value of the MaxHsupaUserNum counter before the feature
activation, the value of the VS.HSUPA.UE.Mean.Cell counter decreases after the feature
activation.
When CS Preference functions such as CS RAB setup optimization and CS services

preempting PS BE service resources are enabled in a congested cell, if CS admission fails
before this feature is activated, the AMR RAB setup success rate and number of CS users
increase after this feature is activated. However, the PS call drop rate also increases when
PS or CS preemption occurs.
When the maximum number of FACH users is greater than or equal to 30 before this feature
is activated and the function of increasing number of UEs on FACH to 60 is enabled, the
value of the VS.CellFACHUEs counter increases after the feature activation.
Changes in the cell load are as follows:

l
After this feature is activated, if the value of the VS.MeanRTWP counter does not decrease,
the total uplink PS traffic volume (the sum of uplink PS R99 traffic volume over the Iub
and the HSUPA traffic volume) slightly increases. If the value of the VS.MeanTCP counter
does not decrease, the total downlink PS traffic volume (the sum of downlink PS R99 traffic
volume over the Iub and the HSDPA traffic volume) slightly increases.
After this feature is activated, if the total uplink PS traffic volume does not increase, the
value of the VS.MeanRTWP counter slightly decreases. If the total downlink PS traffic
volume does not increase, the value of the VS.MeanTCP counter slightly decreases.
6.6 Parameter Optimization

The probability that this feature takes effect can be adjusted by adjusting the thresholds for
congestion decision conditions. For details about how to adjust these thresholds, see section

requests fail due to insufficient cell resources.When this
switch is turned off, CS access requests cannot initiate
a preemption for resources occupied by PS services. 5.
PREEMPT_ENH_CPU_HIGHLOAD_CTRL_SWIT
CH: Whether preemption is allowed when the CPU load
is high. When this switch is turned on, a user checks the
CPU load when attempting to preempt other users'
resources due to insufficient cell resources and cannot
preempt other users' resources when the CPU usage is
higher than 70%. When this switch is turned off, the user
does not consider the CPU load when preempting other
users' resources. 6.

that have RRC connections or UEs that have been
allocated RABs. 7.
PREEMPT_ENH_PT_USER_PREEMPT_ENH_SWI
TCH: Whether to support the preemption enhancement
function for platinum users. When this switch is set to
on, platinum users can preempt resources of other users
if cell admission fails during the DRD, channel fallback,
or rate re-negotiation during admission control
procedure. When this switch is set to on, platinum users
perform the same actions as common users. That is,
DRD, channel fallback, rate re-negotiation during
admission control, and preemption are performed in
sequence. 8.
PREEMPT_ENH_DRNC_CS_RAB_PREEMPT_SW
ITCH: Whether to trigger the preemption function
during a CS RAB setup under the DRNC. When this
switch is set to on, preemption is triggered during a CS
RAB setup under the DRNC. When this switch is set to
off, preemption is not triggered during a CS RAB setup
under the DRNC. 9.
PREEMPT_ENH_CS_PREEMPT_WHEN_OLC_SW
ITCH: Whether users processing CS and push to talk
(PTT) services can preempt resources when a cell is in
the overload control (OLC) state. When this switch is
set to on for a cell in the OLC state, users processing CS
and PTT services can preempt resources if the CS
service or PTT service admission fails. When this
switch is set to off for a cell in the OLC state, only users
processing emergency calls and platinum users can
preempt resources. Users processing common CS
services and PTT services cannot preempt resources.

Meaning: 1. RNC_F2D_RLC_SUSPEND_SWITCH
(Suspend RLC Data Transmission After Event 4A):
Whether the RNC suspends the RLC data transmission
during F2D state transitions and restores the RLC data
transmission after receiving an RB Reconfiguration
Complete message or after switching the UE to the
CELL_FACH state in this cell.When this switch is set
to on, the RNC supports the suspension of RLC data
transmission.When this switch is set to off, the RNC
does not support the suspension of RLC data
transmission. 2. P2D_SWITCH(P2D State Transition
Switch): Whether the RNC switches a UE in this cell
from the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state to the
CELL_DCH state after receiving a CELL UPDATE
message with the cause value "uplink data transmission"
or "paging response" from the UE in the scenario where
the cell FACH resources are limited or where the cell
update is triggered by CS service but the DCCH is
congested.When this switch is set to on, the RNC
state to the CELL_DCH state in the preceding
scenario.When this switch is set to off, the RNC
state to the CELL_FACH state. 3.
RNC_TVM_BASED_P2D_SWITCH(TVM-based
Dynamic P2D Switch): Whether the RNC triggers a
P2D state transition for a UE in this cell when the RNC
receives from the UE a CELL UPDATE message with
the Traffic volume indicator IE set to TRUE or receives
from the CN a dynamic traffic volume measurement
value that meets a specified threshold.When this switch
is set to on, the RNC triggers the P2D state transition
for UEs in the preceding scenario.When this switch is
set to off, the RNC does not trigger the P2D state
transition for UEs in the preceding scenario.
