DCCC: Dynamic Channel Configuration Control
DCCC allocates dynamically resources according to the service
request and system load. So, DCCC is an effective method to
increase the radio resource utilization efficiency
The UL DCCC algorithm and the DL DCCC algorithm work
independently
Course Name
Course Name
N-*
The DCCC function is controlled by the subparameter DRA_DCCC_SWITCH
of the parameter DraSwitch.
The UL DCCC function is invalid for the BE service whose maximum UL
rate is below or equal to the UL rate threshold for DCCC specified
by UlDcccRateThd. Thus, excessive signaling procedures can be
avoided. The DL rate is limited in the same way. The DL rate
threshold is specified by DlDcccRateThd.

Content: For a BE service that has a low maximum rate, the DCCC
algorithm is not obviously effective yet it increases algorithm
processing. Thus, the traffic-based DCCC algorithm is applied to BE
services whose maximum UL/DL rate is greater than the
threshold.

Traffic Volume Measurement Item
In the uplink, the UE measures Dedicated Traffic Channel (DTCH),
(that is, buffer usage of RLC entities), to obtain the uplink
traffic volume
In the downlink, the RNC measures the DTCH, (that is, buffer usage
of RLC entities), to obtain the downlink traffic volume
Course Name
Course Name
N-*
The traffic volume is measured by the buffer usage of the RLC
entity. The RNC increases or decreases the rate of BE services
based on the traffic volume to avoid excessively high or low
traffic volume.
The traffic volume measurements defined in 3GPP TS 25.331 are
applicable to only the UL. For the DL, traffic volume measurements
and associated rate adjustment are designed and implemented by
Huawei.

In the UL, the UTRAN sends to the UE the absolute threshold, time
to trigger event 4a or 4b, and pending time after trigger through a
MEASUREMENT CONTROL message. The UE sends a report on event 4a or
4b through a MEASUREMENT REPORT message.
In the DL, measurement control is also performed through messages.
The difference is that all the interactions occur within the RNC in
the DL.

Rate Adjustment Strategy
In Huawei implementation, two strategies are available for DCH rate
adjustment based on traffic volume:
RATE_UP_AND_DOWN_ON_DCH
RATE_UP_ONLY_ON_DCH
DcccStg
N-*
The RATE_UP_AND_DOWN_ON_DCH strategy means that the rate can be
either downsized or upsized. When the system resources in the
network are insufficient, the RATE_UP_AND_DOWN_ON_DCH strategy is
recommended.
The RATE_UP_ONLY_ON_DCH strategy means that the rate can only be
upsized. When the network resources are sufficient, the
RATE_UP_ONLY_ON_DCH strategy is recommended.
DcccStg
Content: This parameter defines the strategy of adjusting the data
rate of PS BE services when the UE is in CELL_DCH state.
RATE_UP_AND_DOWN_ON_DCH: Data rate upsizing and rate downsizing are
allowed.
RATE_UP_ONLY_ON_DCH: Only data rate upsizing is allowed. It means
that the state of UE transits from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH when the
4b event is reported.
Value range: RATE_UP_AND_DOWN_ON_DCH, RATE_UP_ONLY_ON_DCH
Set this parameter through SET UDCCC.

Rate Adjustment Strategy in UL
Principles of RATE_UP_AND_DOWN_ON_DCH in UL:
Rate upsizing is performed if the RNC receives a report of event 4a
about the uplink traffic volume
Rate downsizing is performed if the RNC receives a report of event
4b about the uplink traffic volume
Course Name
Course Name
N-*
After receiving a report on event 4a, the RNC triggers rate
increase. After receiving a report on event 4b, the RNC triggers
rate decrease. The minimum value to which the rate can be decreased
is the UL rate threshold for DCCC (UlDcccRateThd). The maximum
value to which the rate can be increased is the MBR, which is Min{
the requested maximum bit rate assigned by the CN, the maximum rate
supported by UE capabilities}.

Throughput Measurement Item
In each measurement period, the MAC-d measures the traffic volume
of radio bearers (RBs). Then, it divides the measurement result by
the measurement period to obtain the throughput
To enable throughput-based rate adjustment on the DCH, set the
subparameter THROU_DCCC_SWITCH of the parameter CfgSwitch to
ON
To enable throughput-based rate adjustment for HSUPA, set the

Throughput is the traffic volume in a measurement period. The RNC
adjusts the rate of BE services based on the throughput.
For HSUPA BE services, the RNC performs rate decrease or rate
increase based on the throughput.
For DCH BE services, the RNC performs rate decrease only when the
throughput is excessively high.

Throughput Measurement Event (Cont.)
Mechanism of measuring the throughput and reporting events 4a and
4b:
Course Name
Course Name
N-*
The throughput measurement period can be specified by the parameter
E2FThrouMeasPeriod for services on the E-DCH and DchThrouMeasPeriod
for services on the DCH
Assume that AvgThroughput represents the throughput of an RB during
a measurement period. Then:
If the AvgThroughput is above the threshold of event 4a for a
period of time specified by EdchTimetoTrigger4A and the current
time is not in the pending time after trigger, then event 4a is
triggered. After event 4a is triggered, it cannot be triggered any
more in the period of time specified by EdchPendingTime4A.
If the AvgThroughput is below the threshold of event 4b for a
period of time specified by EdchTimetoTrigger4B or
DchThrouTimetoTrigger4B and the current time is not in the pending
time after trigger, then event 4b is triggered. After event 4b is
triggered, it cannot be triggered any more in the period of time
specified by EdchPendingTime4B or DchThrouPendingTime4B.
The previous figure shows the mechanism of measuring the throughput
and reporting events 4a and 4b. In this example, the time to
trigger event 4a or 4b is three consecutive measurement periods,
and the pending time after trigger is four consecutive measurement
periods.

Rate Adjustment Set
Compared with R99 service, HSUPA can support higher bit rate.
Usually there is big gap between maximum and minimum bit rate. To
utilize the rate adjustment effectively, some middle bit rate
levels and associated thresholds need to be added. We call all the
bit rates and thresholds as a “Rate Adjustment Set”, just like
{(Rmin, TRmin), (R1, TR1 ), …, (Rmax,TRmax)}
If the subscribed MBR is bigger than Rmin, the DCCC algorithm is
on. Otherwise, the DCCC algorithm will not work

The mechanism of reporting events 4a and 4b about throughput is as
follows:
Assume that a set of adjustment rates and associated throughput
thresholds is: {(R1, TR1), ... (Ri, TRi), ... (RN, TRN)}
For services on the E-DCH:
The first variable in each pair of parentheses represents the HSUPA
adjustment rate specified by the EdchRateAdjustSet parameter.
The second variable in each pair of parentheses represents the
throughput threshold corresponding to the adjustment rate.
TRi = Ri x (Threshold rate ratio). For different threshold rate
ratios, see the following table.
RN represents the maximum adjustment rate specified by the
EdchRateAdjustSet parameter.
Assume that RMaxRate represents the MBR assigned for a service
through an RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message. Then, TRMaxRate =
RMaxRate x (Threshold rate ratio)MaxRate.
If Rt < RMaxRate ≤ Rt+1 (1 ≤ t ≤ N–1), the set of HSUPA
adjustment rates and associated throughput thresholds is: {(R1,
TR1), ..., (Ri, TRi), ..., (Rt, TRt), ( RMaxRate,
TRMaxRate)}.
If RMaxRate > RN, the set of HSUPA adjustment rates and
associated throughput thresholds is: {(R1, TR1), ..., (Ri, TRi),
..., (RN, TRN), (RMaxRate, TRMaxRate)}.
For services on the DCH, the adjustment rate set is {rate threshold
for DCCC, middle rate, maximum rate}.
The rate threshold for DCCC is specified by the UlDcccRateThd or
DlDcccRateThd parameter.
The middle rate is determined by the UlMidRateCalc or DlMidRateCalc
parameter and the UlMidRateThd or DlMidRateThd parameter.
The maximum rate is the MBR.
The throughput threshold is as follows: Rt = Rt x 90%.

Rate Adjustment Strategy
In Huawei implementation, two strategies are available for EDCH
rate adjustment based on throughput:
RATE_UP_AND_DOWN_ON_EDCH
RATE_UP_ONLY_ON_EDCH
For DCH rate adjustment based on throughput, only rate downsizing
is applicable
Course Name
Course Name
N-*
The RATE_UP_AND_DOWN_ON_EDCH strategy means that the rate can be
both downsized and upsized. If the system resources in the network
are insufficient, the RATE_UP_AND_DOWN_ON_EDCH strategy is
recommended.
The RATE_UP_ONLY_ON_EDCH strategy means that the rate can only be
upsized. When the network resources are sufficient, the
RATE_UP_ONLY_ON_EDCH strategy is recommended.

Principles of RATE_UP_AND_DOWN_ON_EDCH:
After a report on event 4a is received, the rate is increased by
one level, that is, from Rt to Rt+1. If the current rate is the

Uplink Stability Measurement Item
UL stability measurement involves two measurement items: UL TX
power of the UE and UL BLER
The UL TX power of the UE is measured on the Uu interface. If the
UL TX power reaches the maximum power, you can infer that the radio
link is unstable
The UL BLER is measured by the RNC. If the UL BLER is excessively
high, you can infer that the radio link is unstable

After establishing an BE service, the RNC sends the following
information specified by switch setting to the UE through a
MEASUREMENT CONTROL message:
Threshold of event 6A1, 6B1, 6A2, 6B2, or 6D for TX power.
Time to trigger event 6A1, 6B1, 6A2, 6B2, or 6D.
Then, the UE measures the TX power in real time, filters the
measurement results.
Each time a measurement event is triggered, the UE sends a
measurement event report to the UTRAN through a MEASUREMENT REPORT
message. Then, the UL stability function performs corresponding
control tasks according to the report.
The UL stability control switch setting:
When BeUlEvTrigInd is set to SINGLE and BeUlQos6A1McSwitch is set

As shown in the above figure, the maximum UL TX power for BE
services is specified by the parameter MaxUlTxPowerforInt or
MaxUlTxPowerforBac. Delta_6a1, Delta_6b1, Delta_6a2, and Delta_6b2

The procedure for measuring the RLC PDU retransmission rate is as
follows:
Set up a sliding window for calculating the RLC PDU retransmission
rate periodically according to the period of monitoring the
retransmission rate specified by the parameter MoniterPrd.
Check whether the RLC PDU retransmission rate is above the
threshold of event A specified by the parameter EventAThred. If it
is above the threshold for a period of time, that is, MoniterPrd x
TimeToTiggerA, event A is triggered and the RLC PDU retransmission
rate is reported.
In the period of time (MoniterPrd x PendingTimeA) after event A is
reported, the RLC PDU retransmission rate is not calculated any
more. If a report on event Ea is already received before a report
on event A is received, the system may reduce the DL rate.

In this example, a rate decrease is triggered by UL basic
congestion, and a rate increase is triggered when basic congestion
is relieved. In addition, the current UL rate can be the initial
rate, middle rate, or MBR.
When the current UL rate is the MBR, it is decreased to the middle
rate if a UL basic congestion report is received, and then

When the cell is in the basic congestion state, the rates lower
than the GBR can be increased. Whether rate increase can succeed
depends on whether the required resources are sufficient
A rate increase failure may be due to lack of Iub resources, lack
of cell resources, NodeB exception, UE exception, or other causes.
If rate increase failures occur frequently, rate increase attempts
have to be prevented for a period of time

1-8: indicating that event 4a is reported from the UE
S1: indicating that the cell is in the normal state
S2: indicating that the cell is in the congestion state
S3: indicating that the cell is restored from the congestion

The procedure for penalizing rate increase failures is as
follows:
After the first rate increase fails, the timer for detecting DCCC
rate increase failures is started. The timer length is specified by
the parameter MoniTimeLen. Each time the rate increase fails, the
rate increase failure counter is incremented by one.
The rate increase failure counter determines whether to start the
timer for penalizing DCCC rate increase failures:
Before the timer for detecting DCCC rate increase failures expires,
the penalty timer (DcccUpPenaltyLen) is started if the number of
such failures is above or equal to the corresponding threshold
(FailTimeTh). No rate increase attempt is allowed before the
penalty timer expires.
When the timer for detecting DCCC rate increase failures expires,
the rate increase failure counter returns to 0 and the system
returns to step 1 if the number of rate increase failures is below
the corresponding threshold.
Rate increase attempts are allowed after the penalty timer expires.
If a rate increase attempt is repeated when the cell is in the
congestion state, the system returns to step 1.

The parameters of event 4b are set to their respective parameter
values for the UL and the DL. The parameters include the time to
trigger, pending time after trigger, and threshold. For example,
for BE services if the UL channel is the DCH and the DL channel is
the HS-DSCH, the parameter configurations for BE service on the DCH
as listed in the previous table are used for the UL, and the
parameter configurations for BE service on the HS-DSCH as listed in
the previous table are used for the DL.
State transition from E-DCH to FACH is similar to state transition
from DCH to FACH. The difference is that the event 4b measurement
for state transition from E-DCH to FACH is based on the throughput.
The throughput measurement period is specified by
E2FThrouMeasPeriod. The threshold of event 4b is also based on the
throughput. The threshold is specified by E2FThrouThd.
For BE services on the DCH, if DRA_PS_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH is set
to OFF or the UE has other services that do not allow UE state
transition, UE state transition cannot be performed. In this case,
if both the number of UL event 4b reports and the number of DL
event 4b reports are above or equal to the CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH
transition threshold before the transition timer expires, the rate
can be adjusted to the low-activity rate threshold
(LittleRateThd).
If LittleRateThd is above or equal to UlDcccRateThd or
