2 Overview

2.1 Background
Currently, radio bearers (RBs) are set up over the Uu interface by using synchronized reconfiguration mode during radio access bearer (RAB) setup. By using synchronized reconfiguration mode, the RNC, NodeB, and UE activate new link configurations simultaneously, and the RNC calculates the activation time. In most cases, the activation time is set to a large value to ensure that all new links
have been configured for the RNC, NodeB, and UE during the activation on a network. Long activation time increases access delays, and therefore the WRFD-160106 Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature is introduced to reduce such delays.

2.2 Introduction
When RBs are set up over the Uu interface after a UE initiates a service, the RNC uses fast reconfiguration mode based on NodeB capabilities and the load status of the cell that the UE camps on. By using fast reconfiguration mode, the RNC, NodeB, and UE activate corresponding link configurations at different time that differs from the time the new link configurations are activated over the Uu
interface. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the signaling procedures for synchronized reconfiguration and fast reconfiguration modes when a 12.2 kbit/s AMR service is set up.

Figure 2-1 Signaling procedure for synchronized reconfiguration mode when a 12.2 kbit/s AMR service is set up

Figure 2-2 Signaling procedure for fast reconfiguration mode when a 12.2 kbit/s AMR service is set up

2.3 Benefits
The Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature provides the following benefits:

Reduces the RAB setup delay by about 100 ms to 300 ms when a UE initiates a single service and downlink SRBs are carried on the DCH
Reduces the RAB setup delay by about 100 ms to 500 ms when a UE initiates CS+PS combined services in which the CS service is established after the PS service and downlink SRBs are carried on the DCH

3 Technical Description

3.1 Fast Reconfiguration Requirements

When the RNC audits the NodeB capabilities, the NodeB sends the RNC an AUDIT RESPONSE message containing the Fast Reconfiguration Capability information element (IE). The Fast Reconfiguration Capability IE indicates the fast reconfiguration capability of the cell that the UE camps on. Upon receiving the AUDIT RESPONSE message, the RNC checks whether the cell supports fast
reconfiguration mode. If the Fast Reconfiguration Capability IE is not contained in the AUDIT RESPONSE message, the cell does not support fast reconfiguration mode. During a handover, the Iur interface is involved. To avoid compatibility issues with devices provided by other vendors, the cell is considered to not support fast configuration mode.
To enable the Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature, you can select the following check boxes under the CellConnAlgoSwitch parameter in the RNC MML command ADD UCELLCONNALGOPARA:

SINGLE_CS_RAB_FAST_RB_SETUP_SWITCH
SINGLE_PS_RAB_FAST_RB_SETUP_SWITCH
MULTI_RAB_FAST_RB_SETUP_SWITCH

If the NodeB supports the WRFD-160106 Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature, the RNC can determine whether the NodeB uses fast reconfiguration mode during RB setup when the following conditions are met:

The loads of some resources in cells that all links in the active set connect to do not exceed the load reshuffling (LDR) threshold. These resources include CE resources, downlink code resources, and downlink power resources. For details about how to determine whether the loads exceed the LDR threshold, see Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
The NodeB that all links connect to supports fast reconfiguration mode, and the cell-level switch for the WRFD-160106 Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature is set to on.
Radio links (RLs) established by the UE do not involve those for the drift radio network controller (DRNC) cell.
The service initiated by the UE is a CS service, PS service, or CS+ PS combined services in which the CS service is set up after the PS service.
When a service is set up, not all SRBs are carried on the HSDPA channel before and after an RAB setup, and the established PS service is not carried on the DC-HSUPA channel.
The compressed mode or parameters of the compressed mode remain unchanged for the UE during the fast radio bearer setup.

The WRFD-160106 Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature supports the UE blacklist mechanism. After you run the ADD UIMEITAC command and select the SPECUSER_FAST_RBCFG_CMP_SWITCH check box under the SpecUserFunctionSwitch2 parameter to add IMEI TACs to UEs, these UEs cannot support this feature. IMEI is short for international mobile equipment identity and TAC is
short for type allocation code. With the UE blacklist mechanism, the radio access network (RAN) needs to obtain the IMEIs of UEs and matches the IMEIs with the configured TACs. For details about how to obtain the IMEI of a UE, see Terminal Black List Feature Parameter Description.

3.2 Fast Reconfiguration Signaling Procedure

The fast reconfiguration signaling procedure is as follows:

1. The RNC sends the NodeB a RADIO LINK RECONFIGURATION PREPARE message containing the Fast Reconfiguration Mode IE. The Fast Reconfiguration Mode IE indicates that the RB is set up in fast reconfiguration mode. For details, see section "Synchronised Radio Link Reconfiguration Preparation" in 3GPP 25.433 8.3.2.
2. Upon receiving the RADIO LINK RECONFIGURATION PREPARE message from the RNC, the NodeB sends the RNC a RADIO LINK RECONFIGURATION READY message containing the Fast Reconfiguration Permission IE if the following conditions are met:
The CPU usage of the NodeB does not exceed 65%.
The following resources are sufficient:
- CE resources
- Number of UEs
- Codes and signatures on the E-RGCH if HSUPA services are set up

If any of the preceding conditions is not met, the RADIO LINK RECONFIGURATION READY message does not contain the Fast Reconfiguration Permission IE and the RB cannot be set up on the new link using fast reconfiguration mode.
3. Upon receiving a RADIO LINK RECONFIGURATION READY message containing the Fast Reconfiguration Mode IE from each link, the RNC sends the UE a RADIO BEARER SETUP message not containing the activation time and sends the NodeB a RADIO LINK RECONFIGURATION COMMIT message. Upon receiving the RADIO BEARER SETUP message, the UE activates
the new link configurations.
If the RNC receives the RADIO LINK RECONFIGURATION READY message not containing the Fast Reconfiguration Mode IE from each link, the RNC uses synchronized reconfiguration mode and sends a RADIO BEARER SETUP message not containing the activation time to the UE.
4. Upon receiving the RADIO LINK RECONFIGURATION COMMIT message, the NodeB uses both the original link configurations (such as uplink scrambling codes and link power) and new link configurations if the link supports fast reconfiguration mode.
5. After detecting the UE over the Uu interface or detecting the data sent by the UE, the NodeB removes the original link configurations and then sends the RNC a RADIO LINK RESTORE INDICATION message. Upon receiving the RADIO LINK RESTORE INDICATION message, the RNC activates new configurations.
If the RADIO LINK RESTORE INDICATION messages are reported by links at different time, the RNC delivers the RADIO LINK ACTIVATION COMMAND message containing the activation indication to each link while activating new link configurations. Upon receiving the RADIO LINK ACTIVATION COMMAND message, each link removes the original configurations and activates the
new configurations. Upon detecting the synchronization information of the UE, each link reports the RADIO LINK RESTORE INDICATION message to the RNC.

Impacted Features

WRFD-010701 Uplink Enhanced CELL_FACH

As the WRFD-010701 Uplink Enhanced CELL_FACH feature consumes common resources on the E-DCH and codes and signatures on the E-RGCH, the number of HSUPA UEs supported in a cell is reduced. During the HSUPA service setup, the Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature will also consume codes and signatures on the E-RGCH and a set of dedicated resources on the
E-DCH. Therefore, if the Uplink Enhanced CELL_FACH feature is enabled, the fast RB setup application probability decreases in scenarios where the E-DCH is used before and after the RB is set up. The threshold for the fast RB setup application is 60% of the currently configured codes and signatures on the E-RGCH. If more than 60% of codes and signatures on the E-RGCH are
consumed, fast reconfiguration mode is not supported. Fast reconfiguration mode can be supported only after the proportion of consumed codes and signatures on the E-RGCH falls below 40%.
WRFD-160103 Terminal Black List
When the WRFD-160103 Terminal Black List feature is enabled, the RNC can add some UEs to the blacklist and prevent these UEs from using the Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature.
WRFD-140224 Fast CS Fallback Based on RIM
If the WRFD-140224 Fast CS Fallback Based on RIM feature is enabled during fast radio bearer setup, the delay in RB setup can be reduced after the Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature is activated, thereby reducing the access delay of CSFB UEs.

5 Network Impact

System Capacity

CE resources, code resources, and power resources

During fast reconfiguration, original resources need to be retained when new resources are occupied. Therefore, compared with synchronized reconfiguration, the fast reconfiguration consumes one more set of CE resources, code resources, and power resources from the time when a new link is successfully set up to the time when the new link configurations take effect.
Number of DCH, HSDPA, and HSUPA UEs
Compared with synchronized reconfiguration mode, fast reconfiguration mode retains both the original and new link configurations. This indicates that two UEs are carried on the NodeB.
CNBAP resources
The NodeB retains both the original and new link configurations when triggering a fast reconfiguration. As a result, fast reconfiguration mode doubles CNBAP resource consumption compared with synchronized reconfiguration mode. For details about the principles of CNBAP resource consumption, see NodeB Baseband Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.

Network Performance

The WRFD-160106 Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature reduces the RAB setup delay of a single service by about 100 ms to 300 ms and the RAB setup delay of CS+PS combined services in which the CS service is established after the PS service by about 100 ms to 500 ms. The following factors affect the reduction in delays:

SRB setup rate

Downlink channel type
Coverage area where a UE initiates a service
The better the coverage is, the more the delays are decreased.

Size of a data package of the RADIO BEARER SETUP message caused by the type of the service initiated by a UE
The larger the data package size is, the less the delays are decreased.

Length of a data package of the RADIO BEARER SETUP message caused by the type of the service initiated by a UE

In addition, compared with synchronized reconfiguration mode, the duration from the time that the RNC sends the RADIO BEARER SETUP message to the time that the UE receives the message is longer and the sending success rate is higher in weak coverage areas because the UE can activate new link configurations upon receiving the RADIO BEARER SETUP message. As a result, the
RAB setup success rate increases. However, the RAB setup success rate and the reduction in the RAB setup delay depend on the coverage.
Uplink data frames will not be sent if the UL FP Mode parameter of the typical signaling radio bearer (SRB) is set to SILENT and no transport format indicator (TFI) exists for SRBs over the Iub interface. In this case, only the uplink traffic over the Iub interface is reduced.

6 Engineering Guidelines

6.1 When to Use Fast Radio Bearer Setup

The WRFD-160106 Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature can be enabled in the following scenarios:

The CPU usage of the NodeB may exceed 65%, which can be observed through the VS.BRD.CPULOAD.MEAN counter. In this case, the NodeB cannot support this feature in corresponding periods. Therefore, it is recommended that this feature be not enabled for cells under the NodeB in this scenario.
Cells with light loads
If the values of the VS.LCC.LDR.Num.DLCode, VS.LCC.LDR.Num.ULCE, and VS.LCC.LDR.Num.DLPower counters are 0, the load in a cell is light. The values of these counters vary depending on the following parameters: CellLdrSfResThd(BSC6900,BSC6910), UlLdrCreditSfResThd(BSC6900,BSC6910), UlLdrTrigThd(BSC6900,BSC6910), and
DlLdrTrigThd(BSC6900,BSC6910). If the values of these parameters are set to larger values, the values of those counters approximate to 0. If the default values of these parameters are used, those counters can be used to accurately determine the load in a cell. Therefore, it is recommended that the default values of these parameters be used.
Base stations with low IP path jitters over the Iub interface: The value of the VS.IPPATH.RTP.AverageJitter counter is less than 80 ms, and the values of the VS.IPPM.Forward.JitterStandardDeviation and VS.IPPM.Back.JitterStandardDeviation counters are small.
High-speed coverage areas (150 km/h or greater)

If this feature needs to be enabled in only some cells, it is recommended that these cells be located in a continuous qualified area.
You can run the LST UTYPSRBBASIC command to query the setting of the UL FP Mode parameter. If it is not set to SILENT, it is recommended that it be set to SILENT.

6.2 Required Information

Before enabling this feature, collect the following information to determine whether it is appropriate to enable this feature and evaluate gains produced by this feature.

Counter Name Counter Description NE Description

VS.LCC.LDR.Num.DLCode Number of Times a Cell Is in LDR State Due to DL Code Resource Congestion for Cell RNC These counters measure the resource usage in a cell. If they are not measured, the cell load is
light.
VS.LCC.LDR.Num.ULCE Number of Times a Cell Is in LDR State Due to UL CE Resource Congestion for Cell RNC

VS.LCC.LDR.Num.DLPower Number of Times a Cell Is in LDR State Due to DL Power Congestion for Cell RNC

VS.IPPATH.RTP.AverageJitter Delay Jitter at Local End of IP Path RNC This counter measures the IP path's delay jitter over the Iub interface. Its value should be less than
80 ms.

VS.IPPM.Forward.JitterStandardDeviation T7826:Forward Jitter Standard Deviation of Transmission Resource Pool IPPM RNC These counters measure the IP path's jitter over the Iub interface. A smaller value indicates a
smaller delay jitter.
VS.IPPM.Back.JitterStandardDeviation T7679:Backward Jitter Standard Deviation of IPPM RNC These counters also measure the base station's jitter. For details about the principles of IP PM
detection, see IP Performance Monitor Feature Parameter Description.

VS.RAB.AttEstabCS.Conv Number of CS Conversational RAB Establishment Requests for Cell RNC These counters are used to evaluate whether congestion or an admission failure occurs and
evaluate the impact of this feature on resource consumption in a cell based on access attempts of
VS.AttEstabCS.PSinDCH Number of CS Service Setup Attempts of UEs with an Ongoing PS Service in the CELL_DCH state for Cell RNC different services and resources consumed during the setups of these services.

VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Bkg The RAB setup attempts for a PS service in a cell can be calculated using the following formula: RNC
RAB setup attempts for a PS service in a cell = VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Bkg + VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Int + VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Conv +
VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Int VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Str

6.4 Performance Monitoring

After the Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature is enabled, the traffic and RTWP are stable on the network. You can observe the following counters to check the traffic and RTWP:

VS.RAB.AttEstab.AMR
VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Conv
VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Str
VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Int
VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Bkg
VS.MeanRTWP

NOTE:

The values of the first five counters change between –5% and +5%.

The value of the last counter changes between –1 dB and +1 dB.

In addition, you can observe the following KPIs to evaluate gains produced by the Fast Radio Bearer Setup feature and network impacts of this feature.

Delay

You can perform the drive test on a single UE to check the reduction in the call setup delay. The call setup delay equals to the duration from the time the UE sends the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message (an RRC message) to the time the UE receives the ALERTING message (an NAS message) from the CN.
You can observe the following counters to check the reduction in delays on the network. The reduction in delays on the network is less than the reduction in the call setup delay. This is because the measurement of delays on the network is less accurate than that of the call setup delay on a single UE, and because traffic is measured as the average of all UE traffic.
VS.AMR.Estab.MeanTime
VS.PSR99.Estab.MeanTime
VS.HSDPA.Estab.MeanTime
VS.HSUPA.Estab.MeanTime

RAB Setup Success Rate

After this feature is enabled, the RAB setup success rates increase. The RAB setup success rates of AMR services and PS services can be calculated using the following formulas:

RAB setup success rate of AMR services = (VS.RAB.SuccEstabCS.AMR/VS.RAB.AttEstab.AMR) x 100%

RAB setup success rate of PS services = [(VS.RAB.SuccEstabPS.Conv + VS.RAB.SuccEstabPS.Str + VS.RAB.SuccEstabPS.Int + VS.RAB.SuccEstabPS.Bkg)/(VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Conv + VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Str + VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Int + VS.RAB.AttEstabPS.Bkg )] x 100%

Congestion and RRC Connection Setup Success Rate

You can observe the following counters to obtain the number of times congestion occurs:
VS.LCC.LDR.Num.DLPower
VS.LCC.LDR.Num.ULPower
VS.LCC.LDR.Num.DLCode
VS.LCC.LDR.Num.ULCE
VS.LCC.LDR.Num.DLCE
VS.LCC.LDR.Num.ULIub
VS.LCC.LDR.Num.DLIub

You can observe the following counters to obtain the congestion time :
VS.LCC.LDR.Time.ULPower
VS.LCC.LDR.Time.DLPower
VS.LCC.LDR.Time.DLCode
VS.LCC.LDR.Time.ULCE
VS.LCC.LDR.Time.DLCE
VS.LCC.LDR.Time.ULIub
VS.LCC.LDR.Time.DLIub

If the number of times congestion occurs increases, you need to observe the impact of this feature on RRC connection setup success rates. The RRC connection setup success rates of CS services and PS services can be calculated using the following formulas:
RRC connection setup success rate of CS services = (RRC.SuccConnEstab.OrgConvCall + RRC.SuccConnEstab.TmConvCall + RRC.SuccConnEstab.EmgCall)/(RRC.AttConnEstab.OrgConvCall + RRC.AttConnEstab.TmConvCall + RRC.AttConnEstab.EmgCall) x 100%
RRC connection setup success rate of PS services = (RRC.SuccConnEstab.OrgBkgCall + RRC.SuccConnEstab.OrgInterCall + RRC.SuccConnEstab.TmBkgCall + RRC.SuccConnEstab.TmItrCall + RRC.AttConnEstab.OrgHhPrSig + RRC.AttConnEstab.TmHhPrSig)/(RRC.AttConnEstab.OrgBkgCall + RRC.AttConnEstab.OrgInterCall + RRC.AttConnEstab.TmBkgCall +
RRC.AttConnEstab.TmInterCall + RRC.SuccConnEstab.OrgHhPrSig + RRC.SuccConnEstab.TmHhPrSig) x 100%

After the value of the UL FP Mode parameter of a typical SRB is modified, the value of the VS.SRNCIubBytesDCHSig.Rx counter decreases. If RBs are set up on the E-DCH, the value of the VS.SRNCIubBytesEDCHSig.Rx counter will decrease.

6.5 Parameter Optimization

If the number of consumed codes and signatures on the E-RGCH reaches 60% of the currently configured codes and signatures on the E-RGCH and the E-DCH is used before and after the RB is set up, few RBs can be set up in fast reconfiguration mode. In this case, it is recommended that you run the MOD UCELLHSUPA command to add the number of codes on the E-RGCH or E-HICH. A
code on the E-RGCH or E-HICH corresponds to 20 codes and signatures on the E-RGCH. For example, you can run the following command to change the number of codes on the E-RDCH or E-HICH from 1 to 2:
MOD UCELLHSUPA: CellId=1111, ErgchEhichCodeNum=2
