Adaptive Configuration of Typical HSPA Rate 2 Overview

2-1

2 Overview
With High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), mobile operators can provide services with diversified traffic
rates. This is beneficial to mobile operators in many cases, such as in competing with fixed-line
operators and in justifying service fees. The typical traffic rates configured at the Radio Network
Controller (RNC), however, are fixed and separated, and may be inconsistent with the maximum bit rates
(MBRs) configured at the core network (CN).
If an inconsistency occurs, the RNC selects a typical traffic rate closest to the MBR assigned by the CN.
This rate, not the MBR, is then used for calculating the actual maximum traffic rate of the UE. As a result,
the rate used by the UE is inconsistent with the MBR configured at the CN, and user experience may be
affected.
With the feature Adaptive Configuration of Typical HSPA Rate, the RNC can calculate the actual
maximum traffic rate based on the MBR assigned by the CN when a traffic rate inconsistency occurs
between the RNC and CN. In this way, the rate assigned to the UE is consistent with the MBR configured
at the CN.
Figure 2-1 shows how this feature is implemented in the WCDMA system.
Figure 2-1 Feature implementation in the WCDMA system

Typical traffic rates refer to the MBRs configured at the RNC rather than the MBR assigned by the CN.
WCDMA RAN
Adaptive Configuration of Typical HSPA Rate 3 Principles

3-1

3 Principles
3.1 Overview
The CN sends the MBR to the RNC using an RAB assignment request message; The RNC compares
the MBR assigned by the CN, the maximum rate supported by the UE, the maximum rate supported by
the serving cell, and the rate specified in the license file, and selects the lowest of these four values. The
RNC uses the lowest value as MBRrnc. The RNC then maps the MBRrnc onto a typical traffic rate.
Without the feature Adaptive Configuration of Typical HSPA Rate, if the MBRrnc cannot be mapped onto
any typical traffic rate, the RNC selects the typical traffic rate closest to the MBRrnc. The RNC then
identifies a Radio Access Bearer (RAB) index based on the MBRrnc and the related attributes. These
attributes are the CN domain, traffic class, source statistics descriptor, and direction. These attributes
and RAB indexes are stored in the Traffic Radio Bearer (TRB) specifications table at the RNC. The
MBRrnc corresponding to the RAB index is the typical traffic rate. The RNC then sends the actual
maximum traffic rate calculated based on the typical traffic rate to the UE and configures the associated
parameters for the service based on the RAB index.
With this feature, if the MBRrnc cannot be mapped onto any typical traffic rate, the RNC configures the
associated parameters for the service according to the traffic-bearing parameters for the typical traffic
rate closest to the MBRrnc and the rate assigned to the UE is consistent with the MBRrnc.
This feature is applicable only to best effort (BE) services over HSPA channels.
3.2 Typical Traffic Rate
The TRB specifications table lists the TRB specifications supported by Huawei RNCs. For details about
TRB specifications, see Radio Bearers Feature Parameter Description.
The MBRs of TRB specifications are the typical traffic rates configured at the RNC.
3.3 Rate Matching Rules
The RNC uses the MBR assigned by the CN to calculate the actual maximum traffic rate, and configures
the associated parameters for the service according to the traffic-bearing parameters for the typical
traffic rate closest to the MBRrnc.
Assume that the CN specified the MBR for interactive services in the uplink, The RNC compares the
MBR assigned by the CN, the maximum rate supported by the UE, the maximum rate supported by the
serving cell, and the rate specified in the license file, and selects the lowest of these four values. The
RNC uses the lowest value as MBRrnc. Assume that the MBRrnc is 5440 kbit/s. The typical traffic rates at
the RNC that are close to 5400 kbit/s are 2720 kbit/s and 5440 kbit/s. The rate closest to 5400 kbit/s is
5440 kbit/s, which corresponds to RAB index 58. Without this feature, the rate assigned to the UE for
interactive services in the downlink is 5440 kbit/s. With this feature, the rate assigned to the UE is 5400
kbit/s. In addition, the RNC configures the associated parameters for interactive services according to
the traffic-bearing parameters for RAB index 58.
WCDMA RAN

Figure 3-1 Rate matching result

If two typical traffic rates are equally close to the MBRrnc, the higher traffic rate is selected. For example,
if the MBRrnc is 4520 kbit/s, traffic rates 3600 kbit/s and 5440 kbit/s are equally close to the MBRrnc and
5440 kbit/s is selected.
3.4 Rate Matching Procedure
This feature is enabled when the PsSwitch parameter is set to
HSPA_ADPTIVE_RATE_ALGO_SWITCH.
This feature can be provided in the uplink and downlink. The radio resources in the uplink and downlink
are separately allocated. The CN sends an uplink MBR and a downlink MBR. The RNC compares the
MBR assigned by the CN, the maximum rate supported by the UE, the maximum rate supported by the
serving cell, and the rate specified in the license file, and selects the lowest of these four values. The
RNC uses the lowest value as MBRrnc. The rate adaptive configuration procedure in the uplink is similar
to that in the downlink. Figure 3-2 shows the rate adaptive configuration procedure based on the
assumption that the MBRrnc configured on the CN is 5400 kbit/s.
Figure 3-2 Rate adaptive configuration procedure

The 5400 kbit/s rate is used as an example.
WCDMA RAN

3-3

The rate adaptive configuration procedure is as follows:
1. The CN sends the RNC an RAB Assignment Request message, carrying a MBR.
2. The RNC compares the MBR assigned by the CN, the maximum rate supported by the UE, the
maximum rate supported by the serving cell, and the rate specified in the license file, and selects the
lowest of these four values. The RNC uses the lowest value to calculate the actual maximum traffic
rate. The RNC uses the lowest value as MBRrnc. Assume that the MBRrnc is 5400 kbit/s.
3. The rate assigned to the UE is consistent with the MBRrnc. In addition, the RNC obtains the
traffic-bearing parameters for the typical traffic rate 5440 kbit/s, which is closest to 5400 kbit/s.
4. The RNC maps the MBRrnc onto the MAC rate and sends the MAC rate to the NodeB.
5. Based on the MAC rate, the NodeB assigns resources to the UE.
6. An RAB connection is set up between the RNC and UE.
7. The UE transmits data at the MAC rate mapped from the MBRrnc. The data transmission is based on
the traffic-bearing parameters for the typical traffic rate 5440 kbit/s.
