Control
2 Function Description
Admission control is mainly to determine whether to admit new service requests in
accordance with the requested resource requirements and current usage of cell
resources.
Admission control feature is applied in the following scenarios: RRC connection

establishment, E-RAB setup, intra-eNodeB handover, X2 handover and S1 handover etc.
2 ZTE Confidential & Proprietary

When receiving service setup requests, the admission control module will perform
admission control in accordance with service’s QoS information and usage of cell
resources, for example, CPU usage of the CC board, and PRB usage of cell.
If the feature is enabled, the existing services will not be affected after new services
access the system. Therefore, the system stability can be maintained and users' QoS
can be guaranteed. Additionally, the feature enables the system to admit services as
many as possible if resources permit, which facilitates usage of system resources,
improves the system capacity and lowers operators' OPEX.
3 Technical Description
The admission control module operates in an event triggering manner. When a user
initiates an RRC establishment request, bearer establishment/modification request, or
handover request, admission control decision is triggered, so that the required QoS is
provided for independent connections and the system capacity can be maximized.
If admission fails due to the number of users or CPU resources, the eNodeB rejects user
access. For admission failures due to PRB resources or downlink power, the preemption
function of the congestion control is triggered. For details, refer to the ZTE LTE FDD
Congestion Control Feature Guide.
Admission control can be divided into user admission control and service admission
control.
1. When a user requests to access the network, that is, the user requests to establish
an RRC connection or be handed over to the network, the eNodeB performs the
user admission control procedure.
2. When the eNodeB needs to establish or modify services for users connected to the
network, that is, to establish or modify an E-RAB for the UE, or process a handover
request, the eNodeB performs the service admission control procedure.
 Note:

When a user requests to be handed over to the eNodeB, the eNodeB allocates the
resources required for the RRC connection and service bearer to the user, so the
eNodeB performs the user admission control procedure and service admission control
procedure successively.

End
The principle for the above procedure is described as follows:
1. The eNodeB decides whether to admit the user by using the emergency call

admission switch. If the switch is ―off‖, the eNodeB performs the normal admission
procedure for the emergency call user. If the switch is ―on‖, the eNodeB only checks
whether the maximum number of users is limited for the emergency call user. For
details, refer to 3.1.3.
2. Probability rejection is a cell access restriction function. When probability rejection

switch is ―on‖, the eNodeB rejects access requests of new users on a random basis
in accordance with the specified rejection probability threshold. For details, refer to
3.1.1.
3. If the CPU resource is limited, the system rejects users from accessing the network.
For details, refer to 3.1.2.
4. If the number of users connected to the network has reached the threshold, the
eNodeB rejects new users from accessing the network. For details, refer to 3.1.3
3.1.1 Probability Rejection Based Admission Strategy
When the service traffic is large and many UEs are to be admitted, if the number of UEs
is not limited at the admission stage, the system load will rise sharply in a short time.
Therefore, the probable rejection based admission strategy is used to reject some UEs
so that the system load will not rise rapidly and the system stability and availability can be
improved.
Note:
Probable rejection admission adopts the formula of PRB usage used for load balancing,
where the PRB usage of a cell is calculated based on the PRB of each cell and cell
throughput.
The detailed procedure is illustrated below:

Figure 3-2 Probability Rejection Based Admission Strategy

Yes
Cell UL PRB utilization

ratio overload？
No
No Cell DL PRB utilization

ratio overload？
Yes
Yes
Random value for UE

Smaller than the No
rejection factor
Yes
Access permit Access reject
End
If probable rejection is enabled, the eNodeB decides whether to admit the user based on
the uplink and downlink loads of the cell. If both the uplink and downlink PRB usage is
lower than the corresponding thresholds, the eNodeB admits the user. If the uplink PRB
usage is higher than AC.proRejThrdUl, or the downlink PRB usage is higher than
AC.proRejThrdUl, the eNodeB generates a random digit (rand) for the UE. The eNodeB
admits the user only if rand is smaller than AC.factorProRej.

3.1.2 CPU utilization of CC board Based Admission Strategy
The eNodeB real-time monitors the CPU utilization of the CC board to learn about the
system load. If the CPU utilization is high, the eNodeB rejects user access to guarantee
system stability.
The following figure shows the procedure.
Figure 3-3 CPU utilization Based Admission Strategy
Start
No Admission based on CPU

switch open？
Yes
CPU use rate overload？ Yes
No
Access permit Access reject
End
If CPU admission is enabled, the eNodeB decides whether to admit the user based on
the current CPU utilization. If the CPU utilization is lower than the specified threshold, the
eNodeB admits the user access. If the CPU utilization is higher than the threshold, the
eNodeB rejects the user.
3.1.3 UE Number Based Admission Control Strategy
The maximum number of users depends on AC.ueNumThrd or the license threshold. If

the number of users connected to the network has reached the system threshold or the
license threshold, the eNodeB rejects new users from accessing the network.

The system supports the application of different admission policies based on access
types. The following figure shows the admission control procedure.
Figure 3-4 UE Number Based Admission Control Strategy

Emergency call ?

No
Handover in ? Yes
Accessed user num < RRC specification Accessed user num < RRC license
No
No
Accessed user num < RRC license * (1-reservedHO) No
No Yes
Yes
Yes
Access reject Access permit Access reject Access permit
End
1. The system reserves resources for handover users. The following formula is applied:
Maximum number of users requesting RRC connection establishment =
License-controlled threshold × (1 - AC.reservedHO), where AC.reservedHO means
the resources reserved for handover users.
2. The maximum number of users that can be handed over to the network depends on
the license-controlled threshold.
3. The maximum number of emergency call users depends on the system capacity,
and is not restricted by AC.ueNumThrd or the license threshold, ensuring that

emergency call users can access the network with higher priority.
4. The license-controlled threshold means the smaller of the AC.ueNumThrd value

and the license threshold.
3.2 Service Admission Control Procedure
When UE establishes/modifies E-RAB, or requests for access, eNodeB performs service

admission control procedure as shown below:

1. Service queuing: When multiple services request to be admitted concurrently, the

system needs to determine the admission order in accordance with particular rules.
The eNodeB assigns a priority level to each service based on the QoS of each
service, and the services with higher priority levels are admitted preferentially. For
details, refer to 3.2.1.
2. CSFB user service admission: The eNodeB can determine the CSFB service by
checking whether the S1 E-RAB establishment or modification message contains
the CSFB indicator. If high-priority admission for CSFB users
(AC.swtchOfCsfbHPAdmit) is disabled, the eNodeB performs the normal admission
procedure. If this function is enabled, the maximum number of CSFB services is
restricted only by the system capacity. For details, refer to 3.2.2
3. Emergency call service: If AC.SwitchforEMC is 0, emergency call admission is

disabled, and the eNodeB does not perform special processing for the emergency
call service. If AC.SwitchforEMC is 1, emergency call admission is enabled. The
emergency all service is not restricted by CPU usage, but is restricted by the system
capacity and PRB resources.
4. CPU resources insufficiency: If the CPU resources are insufficient, the eNodeB
rejects services.
5. Maximum number of services: If the number of existing services reaches the

threshold, the eNodeB rejects other services. For details, refer to 3.2.2.
6. PRB resource insufficiency: The eNodeB monitors the uplink or downlink PRB
usage of each cell in real time. If the uplink or downlink PRB usage is too high, the
eNodeB rejects services. For details, refer to 3.2.3.
7. Congestion control: if service congestion occurs due to insufficiency of resources

(for example, uplink or downlink PRB), the eNodeB performs the congestion control
procedure. For details, refer to the ZTE LTE FDD Congestion Control Feature
Guide.
8. When the eNodeB detects that the default bearer failed to admit the user, the
eNodeB redirects the user to a cell of another carrier frequency through blind
redirection. For details, refer to 3.2.4.

3.2.1 Admission Queuing Strategy
A UE may originate multiple service requests simultaneously. To guarantee the QoS

requirements of all services, the eNodeB puts the concurrent services of the UE into a
queue, and executes the admission queuing strategy. Whether the strategy is enabled or
not is determined by the switch.
1. If service admission queuing is disabled, the eNodeB performs the admission

control procedure in the original service queue.
2. If service admission queuing is enabled, the eNodeB determines the admission

priority of each service by querying the database based on the service QoS and
user class (gold, silver, or bronze). The service with the highest admission priority is
first admitted. If multiple services have the same admission priority (the admission
priorities of GBR and NGBR services are different), the eNodeB preferentially
admits the service with a larger downlink GBR value (for GBR services) or admits
the services in a random order (for NGBR services).
Note:
Default ARP levels: 1–5 (gold)
6–10 (silver)
11–15 (bronze)
3.2.2 Admission Control Based on the Number of Services
If the number of existing services reaches the threshold, the eNodeB rejects other
services. The following types of services have different admission control thresholds:
1. The admission control threshold for the CSFB user service and emergency call
service depend on the system capacity.
2. The admission control threshold for non-emergency call services depends on the
license-controlled threshold.
The license-controlled threshold means the smaller of the AC.rabThrd value and the
license threshold.

3.2.3 Admission Control Based on the Sufficiency of PRB Resources
The eNodeB real-time monitors the PRB resources of each cell. If radio resource–based
admission control is disabled, the system does not decide service admission based on
resource sufficiency. If PRB-based admission control is enabled, the eNodeB determines
whether PRB resources are sufficient in the downlink and uplink directions in order for
the services. If the PRB resources are insufficient in any direction, the eNodeB rejects
the service.

End

If uplink or downlink radio resource–based admission control is enabled for GBR

services, the eNodeB determines the resource sufficiency as follows:
1. Downlink PRB resource sufficiency determination: If the downlink PRB resources

required for services are more than the remaining PRB resources in the cell, the
eNodeB determines that the downlink PRB resources are insufficient, and rejects
the services.
2. Uplink PRB resource sufficiency determination: If the uplink PRB resources

eNodeB determines that the uplink PRB resources are insufficient, and rejects the
services.

End

If uplink or downlink radio resource–based admission control is enabled for NGBR

services, the eNodeB determines the resource sufficiency as follows:
1. Downlink PRB resource sufficiency determination: If the downlink PRB resources

required for services are more than the free PRB resources in the cell, the eNodeB
determines that the downlink PRB resources are insufficient, and rejects the
services.
2. Uplink PRB resource sufficiency determination: If the uplink PRB resources

eNodeB determines that the uplink PRB resources are insufficient, and rejects the
services.
3.2.4 Blind Redirection
If admission fails, the system sends an RRC release command to release the user.
Based on admission failure redirection switch, eNodeB performs the following release
policies:
1. If the AC.swchOfRedi4ACFail parameter is set to 0, the blind redirection is disabled.

The eNodeB releases the RRC connection upon admission failure, but does not
send any redirection information to the user through the RRC release message. The
user may (if cell reselection is not performed) continue to initiate another access
attempt in the original serving cell.
2. If the AC.swchOfRedi4ACFail parameter is set to 1, the blind redirection is enabled.

The eNodeB releases the RRC connection, and sends redirection information to the
user through the RRC release message. The eNodeB selects a proper carrier
frequency configuration for the user based on the RAT
(E-UTRAN/UTRAN/GERAN/CDMA2000) priority configured on the OMC and
reselection priority of the carrier frequency in the RAT. Upon receiving the RRC
release message, the user is redirected to another cell based on the carrier
frequency configured by the eNodeB.

5 Impact on Network
Impact on Equipment Performance
None
Impact on Network KPIs
Advantages of this feature:
This feature enables the maximum system capacity in the conditions that the access
users’ QoS is guaranteed. The system real-time monitors the changes of the cell
resource to avoid cell overload and maintain system stability. On the other hand, the
system resource is improved maximally.
Disadvantages of this feature:

When the network resource is limited, the admission control function can reduce the
RRC-connection success rate, E-RAB setup success rate and handover success rate.
The lower the threshold of probable rejection admission is configured, the lower the RRC
setup success rate will be.
