1. Channel Element concept

The "channel Element" is the minimum base band
resource to support a UMTS (3G) service.

2. NodeB/RNC ULCE and DLCE license.

The current resource ULCE and DLCE configuration can be
downloaded from the M2000 using the following commands:
a) With the option performance and query result using the
counters

b) With the option mml command using the command:

DSP LICENSE
c) With the option
License NE License Management NodeB license

3. ULCE and DLCE hardware capacity.

The capacity depends on the sort of WBBP Board
installed in the nodeB.
WBBP_Board_des
crition

The current resource ULCE and DLCE hardware capacity can be

downloaded from the M2000 using the following commands:
a) With the option performance and query result using the
counters

b) With mml command using:

LST BRD and LST BRDINFO

CRITERIA FOR INCREASE CE LICENSES

Criteria for increase.
Three consecutive days with (Occupancy > 70%) Or (Congestion > 0.2%).
Once the criteria is met (any of the two conditions), then apply the following formula in order
to increase number of licenses in steps of 16, setting the node to an occupancy of 40% using
the current occupancy and current number of licenses.
# CE to
increasing = ROUND_UP_MULT_16

(#_Current_CE

UL & DL

* %_Occupancy)

0.4

- #_Current_CE

Where:
#_Current_CE =Current number of Channel elements
%_Occupancy=Percentage of occupation corresponding of days calculated.
ROUND_UP_MULT_16= Is the meaning of round in multiples of 16.

This criteria must to be used for UL and DL

Uplink and Downlink must to be handled separately.

The way to calculate the OCCUPANCY and CONGESTION by War-Room is

described in following slides.

CRITERIA FOR DECREASE CE LICENSES

Criteria for decrease.
Three consecutive weeks with (Occupancy < 20%) AND (Congestion = 0%) AND
(Current number of CE_UL > 128) For calculation in uplink or
(Current number of CE_DL > 64) For calculation in downlink.
Once the criteria is met (the three conditions), then apply the following formula in order to decrease
number of licenses in steps of 16, setting the node to an occupancy of 50% using the current occupancy
and current number of licenses.
# CE_UL to
#_Current_CE UL decreasing = ROUND_MULT_16

MAX

# CE_DL to
#_Current_CE DL decreasing = ROUND_MULT_16

MAX

(No_Current_CE UL * %_Occupancy)
0.5

(No_Current_CE DL * %_Occupancy)

Where:
#_Current_CE =Current number of Channel elements
%_Occupancy=Percentage of occupation corresponding of days calculated.
ROUND_MULT_16= Is the meaning of round in multiples of 16.
