Dynamic NRT DCH scheduling Adjustment

Initial value of the PtxTargetPS is the lower from the following ones: PtxTarget or PtxTargetPSMax
Initial value is taken into use when the first HS-DSCH MAC-d flow is setup

Usage ends when the last HS-DSCH MAC-d flow is deleted

PtxTarget remains as a target for non-controllable load even if there are one or more HS-DSCH MAC-d flows setup in the cell

PtxTargetPS is adjusted based on received PtxTotal (Transmitted Carrier Power) and PtxNonHSPA
PtxNonHSPA = Transmitted carrier power of all codes not used for HS-PDSCH, HSSCCH, E-AGCH, E-RGCH or E-HICH transmission

PtxTargetPS is adjusted only when there are NRT DCH users - in addition to the HS-DSCH MAC-d flow(s) - in the cell. Adjustment of the PtxTargetPS is done in fixed steps, defined by the PtxTargetPSStepUp and PtxTargetPSStepDown management parameters

Dynamic NRT DCH scheduling Power congestion

Adjustment of the PtxTargetPS is executed when power congestion for DL transport channel type (HS-DSCH or NRT DCH) is detected by the RNC The definition of the power congestion for DL transport channel type in this context is defined as follows
Power congestion for DL HS-DSCH transport channel type is detected when the following condition is effective:
PtxTotal PtxHighHSDPAPwr

Dynamic NRT DCH scheduling Ideal PtxTargetPS

Target (ideal) value for the PtxTargetPS is calculated for each adjustment period defined by the management parameter PtxTargetPSAdjustPeriod Target (ideal) value for the PtxTargetPS is calculated as follows (in a linear fashion): PtxTargetPSTarget = MAX {MIN {Ptx_nc + [(Pmax - Ptx_nc) x WeightRatio], PSMax}, PSMin}
Current available power for NRT DCH + HSDPA

Pmax is the cell maximum transmission power

Ptx_nc is the total non-controllable transmitted DL power

PSMax is the maximum allowed value for PtxTargetPS defined by the management parameter PtxTargetPSMax PSMin is the minimum allowed value for PtxTargetPS defined by the management parameter PtxTargetPSMin WeightRatio is the relative weight of DCH , i.e. WeightDCH / (WeightHSDPA + WeightDCH)
WeightHSDPA is the summed weight of the HS-DSCH radio access bearers (MAC-d flows) and WeightDCH is the summed weight of the NRT DCH radio access bearers

Dynamic NRT DCH scheduling Example

Pmax (cell maximum transmission power) = 20W (43 dBm) PtxTargetPSMax = 13W (41,14 dBm) PtxTargetPSMin = 4W (36,02 dBm) Ptx_nc (total prevailing non-controllable DL load) = 5W 1 NRT DCH user (THP1, weight 0.9) + 1 HSDPA user (THP1, weight 1.0) + 1 HSDPA user (BG, weight 0.25)
WeightRatio = 0.9 / (1+0.25 + 0.9) = 0.42

Target (ideal) NRT DCH scheduling target =

PtxTargetPSTarget = MAX{MIN{5W+[(20W-5W)x0.42],13W}, 4W} = 11.3W

Prioritisation between HSDPA and DCH resources

Dynamic NRT DCH scheduling algorithm utilises dynamic priorisation between HSDPA and NRT DCH traffic types RNC follows the priorisation of the traffic types when adjusting the dynamic NRT DCH scheduling target (PtxTargetPS) in downlink Cell level priority for both HSDPA and NRT DCH traffic type is determined by the dynamically adjusted cell level weight value (WeightHSDPA , WeightDCH)

WeightHSDPA is a structured management parameter including traffic class and THP separation (WeightHSDPATHP1, WeightHSDPATHP2, WeightHSDPATHP3, WeightHSDPABG) The same applies to WeightDCH parameter (WeightDCHTHP1, WeightDCHTHP2, WeightDCHTHP3, WeightDCHBG)

Prioritisation between HSDPA and DCH resources

A particular traffic class (THP) can be excluded in determination of weight values by setting the the traffic class (THP) specific weight value to 0 Cell level weight is obtained by summing the weight value of each user up

Weight of an individual user is an averaged weight of its NRT PS radio access bearers
Weight of an individual user depends on the traffic class and traffic handling priority of its NRT PS radio access bearers

Whether user is included in the HSDPA traffic type or NRT DCH traffic type depends on its allocated transport channel (DCH or HS-DSCH) in downlink RT traffic, e.g. AMR speech CS RAB, has always higher priority to NRT DCH and HSDPA (HS-DSCH MAC-d flow) traffic

Soc Classification level 30 Nokia Siemens Networks

Prioritisation between HSDPA and DCH resources

Weight of an individual user is an averaged weight of its NRT PS radio access bearers
Example1:
User1 with 1 AMR speech CS RAB + 1 PS RAB established (I/A THP2 HS-DSCH) WeightHSDPATHP2 = 90 Weight value of the User1 = 90 User2 with 2 PS RABs established (1 I/A THP1 DCH + 1 B/G DCH) WeightDCHTHP1 = 100, WeightDCHBG = 50 Weight value of the User2 = (100 + 50)/2 = 75

Example2:

Cell level weight is obtained by summing the weight value of each user up
Example3:
User1: HSDPA weight = 90, User2: DCH weight = 75, User3: HSDPA weight = 100, User4: DCH weight = 80, User5: DCH weight = 60 WeightHSDPA = User1+User3 = 190, WeightDCH = User2+User4+User5 = 215, WeightRatio = 215 / (215 + 190) = 0.53

Channel type switching is functionality where PS interactive/background radio bearer mapping is changed from DCH to HS-DSCH or from HS-DSCH to DCH
Switch to DCH is needed if use of HS-DSCH is not possible anymore

Switch to HS-DSCH is needed when RB is mapped to DCH but conditions to use HSDSCH are fulfilled
HSDPA is used every time when its use is possible

Basic HSDPA functionality contains the following switches

Direct DCH to HS-DSCH switch Direct HS-DSCH to DCH switch

If the user was moved to Cell-FACH because of low throughput then the HSDPA penalty timers are used on Cell-FACH If the HSDPA user moves to non-HSDPA cell, the user in HO area will be moved to Cell-FACH.

Non-HSDPA capable UE -> non-HSDPA capable cell HSDPA capable UE -> HSDPA or HSDPA&HSUPA capable cell HSDPA&HSUPA capable UE -> HSDPA&HSUPA capable cell is preferred and HSDPA capable is next preferred. are not transferred away from HSDPA/HSPA layer if they are requesting interactive or background service. can be transferred away from HSDPA/HSPA layer if they are requesting other than interactive or background service.

Non HSDPA UEs (R99 or R4, R6 without HSDPA) are directed away from HSDPA capable cell
If load of the target cell is not too big

HSDPA UEs (R5 or R6 with HSDPA) are directed away from non-HSDPA capable cell
If operation is allowed for RAB type (CS/PS) defined with ServicesToHSDPALayer parameter If maximum number of HS-DSCH users is not reached in target cell If several candidates exists the HSDPA load balancing is applied

HSDPA UEs (R5 or R6 with HSDPA) are directed to another HSDPA capable cell
For load balancing reasons UE is requesting interactive or background service

HSUPA capable UE (R6 with HSDPA/HSUPA)

The operator can configure which traffic classes and handling priorities are allowed to be used with HSDPA with HSDSCHQoSclasses parameter.

UE capability supports HS-DSCH The cell supports HSDPA and HS-DSCH is enabled in the cell Multi-RAB combination of the UE is supported with HS-DSCH
The only allowed combination is 1 AMR voice CS RAB + 1 Interactive/Background class service PS RAB. This multi-RAB is supported if operator has enabled the parameter AMRWithHSDSCH. 16/BTS, 16/cell, 16/cell group, 48/cell group or 48/cell Both guard timers are operator-configurable parameters

Release of DL HS-DSCH MAC-d flow and UL DCH / EDCH

L3 starts procedure to release UL NRT DCH and MAC-d flow if:
MAC-d flow has low utilization and UL NRT DCH can be released (Packet scheduler) / UL NRT E-DCH can be released (HSUPA)

Or
MAC-d flow has low throughput and UL NRT DCH can be released (Packet scheduler) / UL NRT E-DCH can be released (HSUPA)
In this case UE specific timer HsdschGuardTimerLowThroughput is started.
