QOS Related parameter

Some important QoS

Traffic Class：conversational, streaming,interactive,and background.
Maximum Bit Rate（MBR）：The Maximum bitrate is the upper limit a user or
application can accept or provide.
Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR)：Describes the bitrate the UMTS bearer service shall
guarantee to the user or application.
Traffic Handling Priority：Within the interactive class, there is a definite need to
differentiate between bearer qualities. This is handled by using the traffic handling
priority attribute, to allow UMTS to schedule traffic accordingly.
Allocation/Retention Priority：Priority is used for differentiating between bearers
when performing allocation and retention of a bearer.

Different priority for different function
Priority Function Scenarios
Basic Admission Control (1) When RAB is admitted, RNC obtains admission threshold
Priority(BP) HSDPA Packet based on BP.
Scheduling (2) For HSDPA, when resources for HSDPA are shared by
HSUPA Packet multiple users, RAN (Node B) will allocate the code and power
Scheduling resources to different HSDPA mobiles according to SPI which is
equal to BP.
(3) For HSUPA, when resources for HSUPA are shared by
multiple users, RAN (Node B) will allocate the grant to different
HSUPA mobiles according to SPI which is equal to BP.

SP of RNC(SP) Congestion Control (1) When forced release is performed because of resource
congestion, RNC will select users to perform forced release
based on SP.
(2) When queueing and service admission again are performed
because of resource congestion, RNC will select users to
perform admission based on SP.
Application Congestion Control When downgrading is performed because of resource
Priority(AP) OverLoad Control congestion, RNC will select users to perform downgrading based
on AP.
When overload happens, RNC will select users to decrease load
based on AP.

Admission Control - DchUlAcThresh

Parameter name DCH Uplink Ac Threshold

Abbreviated
DchUlAcThresh
name

This parameter indicates the uplink RTWP threshold

for DCH admission control. If the uplink interference
Description
exceeds (background noise + DchUlAcThresh), the
new service request on DCH will not be admitted.

Admission Control - DchDlAcThresh

Parameter name DCH Downlink Ac Threshold

Abbreviated
DchDlAcThresh
name

This parameter indicates the downlink TCP threshold

for DCH admission. If the downlink power exceeds
Description
(cell max transmit power)*DchDlAcThresh, the new
service request on DCH will not be admitted.
