A proper use of CE resources increases the number of UEs that can be admitted and improves the
service quality of the admitted UEs.
If only 3.4 kbit/s signaling traffic is carried on a DCH or HSPA channel, one CE still needs to be
consumed. The number of CEs that need to be consumed by services of other types can be calculated
by analogy.
The number of UL and DL CEs supported by a NodeB is determined by the NodeB hardware capabilities
and the licensed CE capacity. The number of UL and DL CEs supported by the NodeB hardware is called
the physical CE capacity. The licensed CE capacity may differ from the physical CE capacity. The
smaller determines the number of CEs that can be used by an operator.
CE is a concept of the NodeB side. On the RNC side, it is called NodeB credit. The RNC performs
admission and congestion control based on the NodeB credit. In the UL, the number of Node credit
resources is twice that of CEs. In the DL, the number of NodeB credit resources equals that of CEs.
UL Resource Group
UL resource group is a UL resource pool shared on a per-channel basis, more than one cell can be setup
in one UL resource group, One UL resource group can have multiple baseband boards, but one board
can belong to only one UL resource group. CE resources in one UL resource group can be shared by
baseband boards. This means that UEs in a cell in a UL resource group can set up services on any board
in the group. The physical CE capacity of a UL resource group is the total CE capacity of baseband
boards in the group.
DL Resource Group
Different from a UL resource group, a DL resource group is shared on a per-cell basis. Resources in a DL
resource group are allocated to each baseband board based on cells; one board can be configured to
multiple DL resource groups. DL CE resources for UEs in the same cell can be provided by any baseband
board in the DL resource group. CE resources in one DL resource group can be shared only within a
baseband board.
NodeB CE Capacity Specifications
Typically different baseband boards of a NodeB have their own CE capacity specifications.
For exampled, the detailed CE capacity specifications supported by each type of baseband board, see
the BBU3900 Hardware Description product by Huawei
CE capacity here refers to the number of CEs that can be consumed by UL and DL R99 services and
HSUPA services. It does not include CE resources reserved by the NodeB for common and HSDPA
channels.

If the NodeB reports that dynamic CE resource management has been disabled, the RNC
calculates the SF based on the MBR.
If the NodeB does not report whether dynamic CE resource management has been enabled, the
RNC calculates the SF based on the value of the HsupaCeConsumeSelection parameter and
whether the UL enhanced L2 function is enabled.
oIf HsupaCeConsumeSelection is set to MBR, the RNC calculates the SF based on the
MBR.
oIf HsupaCeConsumeSelection is set to GBR:
If the UL enhanced L2 function is disabled, the RNC calculates the SF based on
the larger of the bit rate of one RLC PDU and the GBR.
If the UL enhanced L2 function is enabled, the RNC calculates the SF based on
the larger of the bit rate of the smallest RLC PDU and the GBR.
After determining the SF, the RNC searches the CE consumption mapping listed below

resource group doubles if the resource group is configured with 4-way receive diversity. CE
consumption of a common resource group remains unchanged.
examples of CE Consumption
UE A, which performs a UL 64 kbit/s and DL 384 kbit/s service on the DCH, consumes three UL
CEs and eight DL CEs.
UE B, which performs a UL 64 kbit/s and DL 1024 kbit/s service on the DCH and HS-DSCH
respectively, consumes three UL CEs and one DL CE if the DL signaling radio bearer (SRB) is
carried on the DCH.
UE C, which performs a UL 608 kbit/s and DL 1024 kbit/s service on the E-DCH and HS-DSCH
respectively and at the same time performs an AMR speech service, consumes nine UL CEs
and one DL CE.
