uses that cause to indicate uplink transport congestion when IP-based Iub is used.

DCH active set because the cell does not satisfy the E-DCH active set acceptance
condition "CPICHEcNoNonEDCHNCell < CPICHEcNoEDCHServingCell +
EDCHAddEcNoOffset".

When UL DCH for HS-DSCH return channel cannot be allocated
